Euro FA?

[Xalard]

Is there any chance that any euro clan/person will buy FA server? Theres 4 or so USA FA servers (only CoR's is populated) and only 2 very poor euro-ghost new fa with 300_thermopylae 24/7 and CPCP server with cmp_arena 24/7 and completlly redone FA (uber mace; cortosis 2 sbd, etc.).
Playing with 180+ ping on FA 24/7 isn't very enjoyable. There was few euro FAs that get many people on them, but they are no longer up. Can someone host an euro FA server with rotation?

[Jack of Blades]

Woud probebly work beter than the others ifi t had a popular clans trademark.

[Entity]

FA is for lowbies.

[Mashirafen]

Get used to the ping. It's what I've done.

[AlphaFA]

DSI used to be on FA. Jedi Temple, Aliens and 300.
But its now part of the herd; The DOTFakes herd...

OH and DG are supposed to have FA fridays. ):<

[Zhao]

I like FA, but in variation.. I couldnt play it 24/7. Instead of having a 24/7 servers should mix it up a bit, open somedays, FA others.

[Yoshimitsu]

and only 2 very poor euro-ghost new fa with 300_thermopylae 24/7Hey, server will be updated soon . We requested Jedi Temple, Arena and Yavin assault to be on maplist .


CPCP server with cmp_arena 24/7 and completlly redone FA (uber mace; cortosis 2 sbd, etc.).Muhaha , there is Uber-Grievous \ Yoda sometimes and Dooku-Destruction spammer :D
They've made crazy FA .

[ixin]

Yeah! DSI get back to FA or we'll take over your houses and eat your babies!

And DG is probably too lazy to do FA Fridays, such irresponsible girls...

[agentoo8]

Imma make my server FA if yew gaiuz wntin?

[The Swashbuckler]

The only problem I have with Full Authentic is that, in the long run, most FA's just end up feeling the same. I agree that more FA servers certainly wouldn't hurt, but we could also use some more varied FA's in general.

Not to mention that we need less people playing Arena all the time. It's like the DOTF of FA mode.

[Necro]

agreed. FA's need more variety, we need more prison raid FAs and less basic gunner vs basic gunner with maybe some jedis there. We need splashes! destruction! deadly sight! some FA with everyone frigging overpowered :P

[UL-532]

Is that my cue to bring back the old Rescue FA?

[Smilez]

Yes.

DO IT.

[Metaguardian]

Uh UL no offence, but some of your new FA's have kinda ruined the originals. With Delta Prime, the map was horrible, but the FA was just so wacky and outrageously overpowered that it was fun, but now with the changes it's really boring and lost that novelty. Dust2 was also a lot of fun because unlike Open where people run all around on the roof, it was basically gunner wars down below, and if people managed to get up onto the roof it became a novelty. However, now the Mercs are completely overpowered, the Trando can get up onto the roof and spam his OP'd concussion rifle and even Asajj can get up there now. Perhaps you might want to fix these altered FA's, among others, because now these are just two former favourites, that are highly unlikely to be played on the FA server again until they are fixed.

Lastly, FA is liked by the community a lot, as can be judged by the popularity of the FA server up against their DOTF 24/7 counterparts, but FA inevitably gets boring after a while unless there is new material and new FA's coming out. Lots of FA's are always fun like Arena, Jabba, Tantive, Death Star, and so on, but with so many FA's being unbalanced or just not fun, it does limit our choices somewhat. If I can make a suggestion, the official map FA's are actually pretty good, but the CMP FA's need to be beta tested MUCH more so that overpowered elements can be removed or toned down.

I'm not quite sure you see my point. I'm saying that the main problem with FA's is that most of them pretty much do just that - toss anything and everything they can into one FA for the purposes of class variety, without ever once considering that, in many ways, they're doing exactly what every other FA maker is doing.

What I want to see if more variety gameplay-wise. The Aliens FA is a great example of a different kind of FA (or it was in the original version that I recall playing, anyway), as it put one team entirely on the defensive with their only chance being coordination against a seemingly endless army of aliens. I'm not saying it was a perfect FA, but it was different, which was a fresh change. I'm also a big fan of the Ascension FA. Once again, not perfect, but it does something that no other FA has done thus far, and it provides players with a unique experience that they can't get on another map.



So no, I wasn't really calling for UL to bring back the old Rescue FA. I'm calling for some FA's that do something more than just pit a team of Rebels against a team of Imperials and have them go at it. I'm calling for creative FA's, which doesn't necessarily mean creative classes, but focuses instead on creative gameplay. Yes, these sorts of FA's require more testing than the cookie-cutter type, but by all means, if an FA is good, testing it is going to be fun.

And no, I'm not just directing this towards the CMP team, contrary to what some may believe. There's a reason people don't care much for DOTF FA, among others. And no, I'm not chock-full of FA ideas myself, but I've made a few attempts at overhauling FA's when I had a decent plan for them, and I doubt I'm the only one. Hell, if somebody out there doesn't care much for making FA's and has a good idea for one, send the idea my way, because I'd be more than happy to give it a shot if the suggestion strikes a chord.




Nah, hadn't caught on. :p Still, my post was directed towards the devs and CMP team as a whole (and to mappers in general). Since Necro didn't quite seem to understand what I was getting at, I felt it necessary to explain.

On the main topic, I don't have reason to play on Euro servers very often, but having a good FA running on one would definitely draw me in.

[UL-532]

Uh, you know I was kidding, right?

[Tallfire]

Good, more people for us.

"The DOTF of FA"? That would be less suited for Arena and more suited for 300. I don't know two FAs that are relatively the same. They almost always have their own little things about them.

[joulupaska]

would be great imo, tho it should have a decent map rotation

[Mashirafen]

I very much agree with you Judson. I play FA a lot and I find that I often enjoy the FAs that require a different style of gameplay to the regular ones.

On a semi-unrelated note, I have a few ideas for what I think would be interesting and fun FAs, and I spend enough time poring over the contents of the map pk3s that I could probably make one myself by now (I think). It's just getting the map that's the problem.

[F-200 Efreet]

hai, efreet here. We europeans do have a lack of fa servs, but cpcp is a good one, it does have votes to change it to open too. Yes, we do edit fa's but heck, a little spice wont hurt, would it? At first we were doing some possibly TOO uber stuff, but were making it gradualy more fun, balanced (orly?) and more like how the characters were in star wars.

let's just cut it short: 85.14.216.23:21011 CPCP People's Server (votes enabled)

that's a good euro fa AND open server, mostly fa currently.

Haie....you just make some big mistakes in gameplay, try asking players of their comments, and I'm not talking about Mega-Grievous\Yoda . I'm talking about classes .
*Hint-true Jedis dont use Destruction and Grip, only Dark ones*

a server where only admins or admin's friends can get to use some overpowered classes isnt exactly a good FA server....
not to say that editing FA's without permission isnt exactly a good thing...

[L3ros]

Just played on CPCP Server for the first time...and really, those changes are bs.

We need a REAL Euro FA Server.

I like playing on the CPCP People's Server. One of the few low ping servers, the ONLY server in MBII with votes, the ONLY server that you won't be kicked from for chatkilling (Hai CORD), or TK'ing, or speaking a language other than English (Hai ignorant MBU Brits), or for being "disrespectful" to the almighty admins (Hai AOD). Tbh the new FA changes haven't really affected balance that much. They've just buffed all the classes so that it's more fun and less frustrating when you get killed in another BS way.

IMO, Arena is the best one. The old FA was poorly thought out and made so that everyone could spam the droid solds with no motivation to take another class. The Jedi run for the tower EVERY round, and Dekas/SBD's/Padme/3P0 don't stand a chance. I'm glad you changed that horrid FA. The only problem is Dooku's destruction spammage, and the Unlimited BP Grievous Kyle.

The JT changes are more biased in favour of clones, but at least more fun. The Healer class finally owns.

Btw, it's annoying how the admins spam Uber-Kyle-Grievous classes, so you may want to think about that next time you decide to ruin everybody elses gameplay.


Haie....you just make some big mistakes in gameplay, try asking players of their comments, and I'm not talking about Mega-Grievous\Yoda . I'm talking about classes .
*Hint-true Jedis dont use Destruction and Grip, only Dark ones*

Actually, Captain Fish (one of the admins, even though he never kicks when we ask =\) asked all the players in Arena if there were any changes we wanted. I said less Deadly Sight spam, and so did everyone else. Now it's been removed and replaced with the slightly less TK-licious Destruction. He asked so many times I just told him to STFU (and he DIDN'T kick me =O ). And I think if a Jedi is slightly Darkside (i.e. Sora Bulq) they can get away with a DS power. Plo Koon has lightning, after all.

[Xalard]

I like playing on the CPCP People's Server [...] the ONLY server that you won't be kicked from for chatkilling (Hai CORD), or TK'ing
Yay. All tkers rush cpcp server! You won't get kicked!

Lies in bold.


everyone could spam the droid solds with no motivation to take another class.
IMO making all other imp classes uber overpowered isn't good way to fix that problem.


The Jedi run for the tower EVERY round
On CPCP they don't just cos they can easily slaughter every enemy (I saw Mace Windu killing 4 droids in a row, mostly by swingspam).


Dekas/SBD's/Padme/3P0 don't stand a chance.
Teamwork anyone? If all Jedis rush to tower and leave padme, don't expect her to survive.


Actually, Captain Fish (one of the admins, even though he never kicks when we ask =\)
You expect admin to kick someone, just cos some random player says so?


I just told him to STFU (and he DIDN'T kick me =O ).
IMPOSSIBLE! HE DIDN'T? Srsly, only bad admin would kick you for one 'stfu'.


And I think if a Jedi is slightly Darkside (i.e. Sora Bulq) they can get away with a DS power.
Slightly darkside means you can give him deadly sight/destruction 3? ;O Then what you would give to him if he would be full darkside?

Plo Koon has lightning, after all.....no, no...you will....hmm:) well Plo Koon's lightning is Jedi Lightning, he is one of the Jedis that can use it on lightside as some others and it is rare occasions . It was proved by Jedi vs Sith official book .
Other Jedis can't Use Darside powers not getting closer to it, so other Jedis cant use any dark side powers at the moment of Ep. 2, because they on a lightside - including Anakin .
Force Destruction for Dooku - it's a total crap, he is a saberspecialist after all not a forcewhore .

[L3ros]

Thats the reason they gave him forcedestruction and purple style :rolleyes:

[F-200 Efreet]

Fish wanted me to say this :P

The CPCP server is where any players can go to escape DOTF, escape abusive admins, and play the game how they wish to play it. I (Captain ><FISH'>~) have asked for suggestions on these FA's many times and I will continue to listen to the wishes of the people, as long as they address me politely and constructively (Efreet: yea right Xd). If you have any criticisms for the CPCP to consider, then you may voice them on our website (CPCP.new.fr), contact me via x-fire (hastetothewedding), Chirac (captainchirac), or Efreet (lummpy911), or you may enter our server and make a suggestion to use there. I think you'll find it to be a very open server where you can say what you like and not get kicked. In fact, I only ever need to use admin powers to restart the server and place AFK'ers in spectator.

Xalard, TK'ers on the CPCP server ARE kicked, but they are kicked by the players, not the admins. Even I have been kicked from the server a few times. oh and it was destruction 1, not 3.
Efreet: well, it turns out that sometimes people vote no for funnies even if they know they are tkers, but well, atleast it's THEIR oppinion :S

Anyway, you don't have to worry about Dooku's destruction spam or our own silly special classes spam anymore. Dooku has been nerfed slightly, and our special classes have been erased.
Efreet: yea, it was a mistake and we corrected it, simple enough.

However, we are making special classes that all players are welcome to download and use, which will be displayed on the CPCP website shortly.
Efreet: have fun on the serv and please do consider sharing your thoughts.

Remember to correct forcepowers .

[F-200 Efreet]

what's your gamename yoshi? i havent seen a yoshi on the serv :P and ya we fixed the forcepower issue for dook, cause he kept spamming it 24/7 = dead flying jedi and dest 1 stays for sora, it's just something for funnies/coolies.

[Necro]

i think i like this guys lol, as long as you put the edited FA files public on your website im fine with the 'added' classes. Also editing FAs to make them funnier is....well...funny (but yes, arena needed CHANGES, it was totally overpowered for imps)
