System87 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 HI all! Havent played a lot recently and i see that the only server with some player population is DED Expert. I would like to make my suggestion on how to improve the server so everybody has more fun, maybe you guys have some good ideas too so please post them and hopefully we can get the DED guys to react. So my biggest problem with the gameplay on the server right now is that it is all about dogfighting above airfields and no one cares about supporting ground war and bombing objectives. In my opinion it is no wonder that no one wants to fly attack or bomber aircraft because you cant influence the outcome of the match because of ridiculous time limit (4h i think), one can never hit all objectives in that time, not even with multiple pilots dedicated to bombing. Removing the time limit will encourage a lot of people (myself included) to start flying ground attack and bombing missions. Knowing that the only way to win the mission is to go for ground units and buildings will motivate people to fly more objective orientated rather then play air COD above airfields. Right now it doesnt matter if someone is busting his *** and has 100 points in ground attack because long befor he can get all the objectives the missions simply restarts and all his bombing was for nothing.
-TBC-AeroAce Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I get what ur saying completely about the time limit in principle but I would have thought that 4 hours would be more than amble, assuming u know the start time of the server and that u make proper flight plans and plan to fly with a team.

A well organised team might make it, but why have the time limit it makes no sense, Syndicate has no time limit, the missions in Cliffs of Dover dont have time limit, mission should end as soon one of the teams completes all objectives(regardless of time), and what about people who fly in groups of 2-3 friends, they have no chance making it within 4hrs. If I fly for lets say the red side and i have only 1 hour time to play i can bomb stuff knowing that i brought my team closer to victory and Btw. i still havent seen either side destroy all objectives. I dont see how anyone will lose anything by removing time limit but a lot of players will gain something
-TBC-AeroAce Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I see ur point completely but just to be devils advocate here what about people that want to join and have a reasonably populated target set not just a few obscure ones left over that they may have to wait several hours to be destroyed... Don't saying anyone's right or wrong bro just...

Don't saying anyone's right or wrong bro just... You think its better to have fresh targets every few hours but never actually be able to win, and what about realism? We want BoS to be as realistic as possible, Im sure back in the day when a battle started there was no time limit :D
AbortedMan Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Sounds like you need to give the Eagle's Nest server a try...the missions are persistent and objective based, not time based and extremely soon there will be a MP campaign where mission results will affect the next mission on the server. You'll be able to play the entirety of Operation: Uranus in a day. Edited March 23, 2015 by AbortedMan 4
System87 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Sounds like you need to give the Eagle's Nest server a try. I saw that EN and SYN have no time limit but i never see any players on those servers or maybe 5-6...
AbortedMan Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Well people flock to groups, so sometimes you have to be the guy that puts the patience in and seeds the server. We are populated during NA prime time. Edited March 23, 2015 by AbortedMan
SharpeXB Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I don't like time limits because I always seem to join right when a mission ends.
Quax Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Removing the time limit will encourage a lot of people (myself included) to start flying ground attack and bombing missions...... because long before he can get all the objectives the missions simply restarts and all his bombing was for nothing. +1 I was lucky, that I could get the whole hunt for a train into the mission time today (1:30 h). I must have entered short after mssion start. If the mssion would have ended 5 mins before landing, I think I wouldn´t have been amused.
Y-29.Silky Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) It is a universal problem as mentioned above. Devs... AIRFIELD RADAR HAS GOT TO GO! At least in Expert. Also what makes the 1946 servers so fun, is that there is an objective that decides the out come of the mission, also, missions only tend to last an 90 minutes, 2 hours at the longest. This prevents fatigue, adds variety, and an overall enjoyable experience. If you don't play the objective, protect your objective, or protect those who are playing the objective, it should be game over. 3-4 hours is too long for people to stay focused on the objective. Maybe remove the time limit, but objectives need to be more relevant. Kind of speaking for all servers but must admit DED is the best when it comes to objectives. Edited March 23, 2015 by Silky
6./ZG26_Gielow Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 We should have a very loud siren to advise about enemy presence and a pair of immortal light and heavy AAA to give away enemy position and altitude. No radar. Maybe radio messages.

We want BoS to be as realistic as possible, Im sure back in the day when a battle started there was no time limit :D I all for realism but I'm not at war and I don't have more that 2 to 5 hours a day waiting for something to happen. Let's be real in our requirements for realism. I all for what u want but there needs to be comprises
BlackDevil Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 You don't need to have 4 hours, when the mission lasts that long. But the chances to get a one hour mission done are higher.
System87 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Kind of speaking for all servers but must admit DED is the best when it comes to objectives. Well yesterday i was in Eagels Nest server and i was suprised how good and detailed the mission is, so i would say right now EN is the best server(when it comes to objectives), only problem is im from EU and i would have to stay up late night to be able to play a decent game with more then 2-3 pilots online. 1
Albino Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Devs... AIRFIELD RADAR HAS GOT TO GO! At least in Expert. +1 The radar also needs to go in Normal (or at least in some Normal servers). I am a rookie and want to play MP. The problem is that I can't fly 'well' because I can't surprise my targets. They see me coming (on the radar) and react so I can't boom and zoom. Then everything descends into tight manoeuvres on the deck. This is especially problematic if you are flying a less capable aircraft than your opponent. Regards Albino Edited March 28, 2015 by Albino
