Hello forum users and AA players,
I know this has been done/tried a few times before, but now i'd like to bring it back.
Some official AA servers have been provided by assist admins. Those servers have a very good ping for all the players. I want to propose something similar to a friday night fight.
We all gather together on the server to play some of the forgotten maps of AA, or just those maps that are never played in public anymore, like tunnel, HQ raid, swamp, farm, arctic, village etc etc.
I'd like to start the night on the server around 7-8PM GMT+1. I have no idea if people are going to join or not, so if you're in for it, please give some feedback on this topic.
By the way, being an active player during the night too, same thing can be done for American players.
I just need some feedback to see if people are interested or not.
Have a good day ladies
-
very nice..
-
Seems great idea ;)
-
If I don't have anything better to do on my Friday night, I don't see why not.
And you guys probably know well enough that I don't have any social life :D
-
Not bad idea at all, annoying when people just play hospital, ua, pipe etc. So if i don't have anything on fridays i'm gonna join for sure.
-
I am of course for the idea, would be there tomorrow if I didn't have to work but I'll keep an eye on the fun from my end with the servers :)
-
Working every day so its kinda hard to hop in the game at the current state for me:/
-
It might be tough for me to make it due to the time zone difference.
-
Good idea. Mafioso used to do a Friday Fight Night where they played a lot of mAAp maps, but they've pretty much disappeared from the game. :P However, 7-8pm GMT is a bit early for me, and probably most NA players.
-
Well NA's would have their own time I'd guess.
I think Mafioso are playing some other game a lot. I've seen a lot of them on their TS even though nobody seems to be on AA.
They seem to have closed down their AA server, though (as of 50 minutes ago according to the post on their website). It used to host mAAp Breakout a lot and I loved playing it! :(
-
Make it Sunday and more people will be able to come, hungover, free from work. Most amount of poeple are always playing Sunday nights.

well nice idea Ganja.. but I have a social live :(
-
very nice idea in deed.
ill try to be there - but i guess one server would not be enough :) depends on the maps you will choose.

If it's not extraction u wont come? :D jk
Ares I know most people are online on sunday, but there are a lot of matches going on on sunday, FLC, DESBL, so those people dont pub. we'll see how many players we get on tonight. What map would be cool to play?
-

I will gladly put up a second, third and so on server in each location that it is needed in.
-
its a great idea... choose 1 or 2 maps for each friday... i really miss river basin whit lots of players..
-
People in 2.5 can't fucking play longrange, they are terrible at it because of the urban whoring, i'd love for this night to focus on LR, and on maps rarely played. A full WCSE server would be awesome, same goes for bse, mp, riverbasin, HQ Raid, swamp etc.
-
If it's not extraction u wont come? :D jk
:D :D :D - i have to think about ganja....
and as you did already write above, just select one map from the not often played maps. but try to start with a well known map (from the not often played) like river, oasis or so to fill the server a bit. then maybe change after one hour or something like this to another map (could also done automaticaly by config).
-
alright let's go for some River Basin to start ! Spread the words, i'm sure some oldschool players would love to play it again
-
A full WCSE server would be awesome
x2
Anyway it's an excelent idea however it's pretty much impossible to me on Fridays.

We could try it on sunday too if it works, it's just a test

ganja server name!?
-
Official Server United Kingdom
-
should be the players from same team on same side or not?
I think they should because you don't know if they are on ts or not. and for the team play also.
your suggestions about that ?

depends on the map.
This was river bassin, ghosting is not really needed as u can hear a lot ... it can be boring to play always with yr teammates
-
also good for me. I can live with almost everything but cheating.
so what I mean is something about the rules of those servers. this sounds like something of no rules at all except cheating.
go we for that? or wouldn't it be better to have some "root" rules on those servers I am asking myself.
we should think about before this will end in an empty server farm.
btw: I have a real bad lag on this one. ping of 80, ganja ping of 36. shit happened :D. but it was a nice start at all. would be better if an admin or TWO could join, friday :) - or should we go for incognito at all (then no one can finger point at one of us)?
-
How it went?
-
How it went?
We had a server full (22 players) but there was too much ragequitting in my opinion. People didn't stay more than 10 minutes or after they got killed twice without getting a kill.
Personally I was dissapointed, because the whole thing lasted maximum one hour and then people went back to their home-map ...
Not sure what should be done

The New York Official Server had activity from 6pm - 12am (6 hours) until it died last night:

a bit strange high pings for me there on uk server last night. ganja ping 36, myself around 80. but its ok, only strange. looks like the communication form/to switzerland to other countries to some targets is a bit slower then to others. could be a routing/backbone problem from my provider swisscom.
btw: i think those servers should have some min. rules like one team/one side. admins should take care about that, because other players will leave when they do see that.
just my 2 cents

my 2 cents are: admins are they if someone is acting like a douche. period.
I dont think being there as admin and start changing teams will make players happy

Instead of urban you can put Hospital and Extraction where it takes absolutely no skill or any kind of intelligence or cleverness to score few kills and feel so god damn proud ;) As ares said people do not understand open area gameplay in this game, even in the best days of this game I can recall only few names that really knew what it is really about. Rest didn't try to improve or just were too narrow-minded and couldn't, period.
Merlin, since drawing distance is the same for everyone, ghosting on open area maps really isn't an issue, it doesn't affect me a lot since i rarely crawl on these maps so they hear me anyway. It's just about who is better.
People left because defboys went defence (like ganja :w00t: \_/ ) and some of them camp pretty hard, poor players in assault could do a beautiful piece of brown shit, got shot few times so they left to build up their ego somewhere else. It's pretty simple.
-

Or maybe people left because they got shot from nowhere (lik rmcdzk) and didnt stand a chance
-
good thing. do ppl have to join official ts? this would make the whole thing more serious, ppl stick together and there is more teamwork. on long range maps u need this, otherwise ur lost, ur team loses and leave...
-

Actually not. Defence was pretty stable yesterday ;) And it's exacly what I were talking about Ganja.
I like your bunny :P
-
I still want to play AA2 but when i open assist and see the same maps being played i lose all the interest, like someone said AA4 is pretty fun and paced but it's not like you can play the same map for 4 hours, it gets boring easily.
Word of advice, next time you draft get some warning in assist layout and don't track the draft server it may help and of course pick up a better day/hour.

I remember old matches on mountain ambush and river basin. Some clans just had no clue on those maps ;p
-
Tonight i'll try to full a bridge SE server.
-
good luck :D

-

-
Am well up for that :) who wants to be in my team. :) Eh i dont do def. So thats most of you out :)

Welcome to AA gameplay.

we played river the day before yesterday - and the players did a good job on a full server. and tonight we do mountain ambush as well - also on a full server. so you see, players do like other maps - and they are not that bad as you maybe think they are :)
-
Maybe I'll even join in, I started playing again since 2 days ago ;)

Lies. I saw you play some time last week on Poolday (must have been the 21st as that's the last time I played apparently).
-
oke I admit, I did play 4 more times last 31 days for an average of 20 minutes every time.
-
what time and which map today ? maybe water treatment ?
im there about 19.30 CET
-
I'm not there tonight, feel free to continue to fridaynightfever.
The easiest would be a map where both teams have to assault (urban, pcr, mout, oldtown, etc) so people wont ragequit on assault, but you can give it a try
-
you mean SFextraction, right :D
