Would a Dedicated SEA Server be Welcome? (WoL Rule set)

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]

Hello all,

I have been looking into the costs of running a dedi server here in AUS for SEA
As i now have access to cheap fast Fiber optic.

Would be looking to have atleast:
- Weekend test run to begin with (Friday 8pm - Sunday 8pm)
- Max population possible (84 it seems)
- 3-4 hour missions and outcome of each mission effect the choice of next mission (eg, If Russia wins mission 1A then mission 2B is chosen is they loose then 1B is used if its a draw 1C is used.)
- Controllers only - Full Realistic
- Map Marker and Onscreen compass
- Spectate mode for Team Only (never knew why this was disabled everywhere)
- A little more historical balancing (hopefully a script to prevent 30G versus 15R)
- No unhistorical weapon locks.
- No locked skins

and much more to be added

Suggestions and tips welcome

Wow Nobody wants a SEA Server..

ahwell more $$ for me :D

[curiousGamblerr]

What is a SEA server?

[oneeyeddog]

I took it to mean South East Asia

Ohhh makes sense, thanks

[=EXPEND=CG_Justin]

I would fly it. But I fear my ping would be less than desirable.

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]

SEA = South East Asia

So Average projected pings.

• AU players (under 40ms)
• NZ Players (under 70ms)
• Japan/Taiwan/Philipenes (under 150ms)
• China/South East Russia (under 175ms)
• EU East & West Russia (under 350ms) - Playable for bombers only really
• EU West (under 320ms) - Playable for bombers only really
• US West (under 250ms)
• US East (under 270ms)

I have been looking into mission maker and dserver workings and hoping at least to run a test at some point.

Wanting to test a
Vulcher proof AF Defensive line but it all depends on mission make abilities


Mission Suggestions
1 - Historical only or Alternate Reality Missions Also?
2 - Would tanks be used/wanted? (while i think they are "cute" i dont think the current tanks are properly playable but thats me)

I would dwell on this server if the server is like TAW, Random (continous campaign) and bomb reticule on (3 monitor doesnt support bomb sight).

 

I think it will be very well received by Asia users which I have seen increasing in various servers (but scattered).

[sinned]

My two cents:

1. Historical or non-historical, dynamic and continous form of campaign would be great (similar to TAW and Random). Continous campaign encourages users to stick to server and feel the progress thru the entire phase. New mission without any persistence every 2 or 3 hr is like just quick mission but on multiplayer.

 

2. Tanks are good for ground targets, but I personally dont get into tanks. I will just go to WT to play tanks.

 

3. Stats with a map of latest ongoing campaign.

 

4. Dynamic weather

 

5. Mission obj should be doable with one player (only if uncontested). If missions cannot be won solo, then it is very hard to attract that 1st player in server that is the catalyst of brining other players.

 

This is not telling anyone how to run their servers, but what attracts me to diff servers.

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]

Yeah thats all good..

Shadow, I would love it mate...  I currently can't play because I keep getting booted off the servers for having a too high ping.  I'm country W.A with no NBN yet so I struggle to get a game.  I've tried WoL, still says too high.  Not to mention the time difference.

Unfortunately, not happening. This guy is some immature young guy who just wants attention.

No real intention to set up a SEA server for real but to get some attention.

 

If I am wrong sshadow, prove me wrong by carry out with your action.

 

Set up a SEA server.

LMAO I have every plan to host said server if it was popular enough
Also hardly a small task to random start without a good backing and support.

As for the immature comment (probably older than half the poeple on here and more mature than half the people Twice my age older.. mmm kay

what a dumb comment

Personally i would love to see a SEA server, being in Aus i cant play on the EU or US servers without massive ping. Ill be a happy lad if ya do

[hames123]

I would play on a SEA Server, just make sure that there are loads of trains and ttuck convoys to bomb, tank attacks to cover and support(40 T-34s attacking a line of 20 German AT guns, with a counterattack force of 50 Panzer 3s spawning if they break through the front). Just ensure that there are not too many objectives per map, as it really dissapates the players(each map should only have 1 key objective, like hunting and destroying a German column of Halftracks, or sinking a fleet of transports and gunboats crossing the Volga to Stalingrad). This will mean that the target area will have enemy and friendly planes doing stuff.

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]

Thats no possible withing the game limits..

There is only a limited number of objects and ai you can have on a map (nowhere near the epic numbers of like Total War series :D

Also
Background planning and preperations under way for SEA Server
Lots to plan/work out/Test and setup

Will eventually need some translators for mission files (As i refuse to use google translate as its not good enough for a game)

Initially to deal with lower populations on server the first few sets of missions will be on smaller maps
Also 1 map will be (for the lols) a 1-1 Copy of War Thunder Stalingrad Map which due to its limited size would make a very combat active and target rich map

It would be great to have a SEA server.  Part of an AUS group who get together - 4-6 pilots, so would look to support your endeavour.

 

Good luck with the idea.

[Smouch]

If you build it they will come...

 

I know I'll give it a run

 

Thanks for wanting to get it going

[Smouch]

Found IL2Australia in the server list last night.

 

Liked the settings and the fact I could play on a server with a ping under the 90's.

 

Hope we can more of it

So far all seems great with lots of changes to come

[Pail]

Will have to check it out.

[Helrza]

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]
