Hi,

I feel that we are a bit unorganized with the playing time. I think we all agree that it isn’t really fun when you play with a low player count on most maps.

My idea is that we play on two days per week (one would be Sunday) and every active player joins at the same time and stays for about 1-2 hours. Because at the moment the players spread out a lot, even on events and sometimes leave during the first map. Therefore we’ll never reach a high player count which is crucial to attract new players.

Let me draw a picture to visualise the problem:

Current situation:


Preferable situation (imo):


Pros:
+ You don’t have to waste your time on the server waiting for other players to join.
+ Higher player count than before, better gameplay.
+ You can give new players a specific time when they should join.

Cons:
- It requires discipline from everyone over a long time period.
- Not every active player has an account on this forum or even checks the site. We have to get them to read here.

So please post here what you think about it, maybe I’m just dreaming. What would be your prefered day and time?

Also please post your name in this thread if you would attend at this „experiment“.

Confirmed players:

http://www.bf-games.net/forum....1601333
I had to create a list outside the board because you can only edit your post for three days. dry

I'm worried it's just an utopia. Personally I can't afford to be online everyday.

I stopped being naive, thinking that european fhsw server may works like the japanese does, we and Japaneses have different mentality.

FHSW 0.5 will not change anything. Who knows, maybe if FHSW would be released as an FH 0.8, and therefore infamous long loading times would be drastically shortened... But we know it's impossible.

Also I think we lost players due to MapTweak patch. Very often I see unfamiliar players who disconnect in mid loading, so I guess they have no patch and they are not smart enough to copy, paste and visit the www that can be seen in server name. Or these are Windows related crashes?

Stupid wars with PFC haven't helped too

One more thing - we have a lot of fresh brains over here but there is only 1 admin who can execute some of our necessary ideas. Unfortunatelly an Audi is more important lately cool

So, as a summary, a wunderwaffe for fhsw could be:
- RADICAL lowering loading times
- wide-range adverts
- A critical mass of players (refering to critical mass of nuclear chain reaction) that would push the server to live on its own. Actually, this is what you are talking about eYe. However how many constant players do we need? 20, 30? Virtually impossible...

Yeah I'm a pessimist

I didn't mean everyday but only one or maybe two days during the week. Theoretically we have enough people for 20 players, they just don't meet up at one point (that's why I made this thread):

Marduk
Sepp
Schulze
Asch
slobodan
Mr_J
Pum!
Vau
Marik
Junior
Vano
Santa-Anna
Robert
Lampo
Green Shift
RobBrown
ZZZ
eYe
Ploehti
Sturer Emil
+ maybe some inactive/semi active ones (mayer, El Vuelo,...)

You're points are all valid, as soon as I submitted my thread I knew it would fail. I tried though. sad

Hey don't give up. Pessimism is my national nature so don't look at me :P I think we could try this at weekends - Saturday, Sunday evenings, 18gmt+1

Determine a definite playing time and send personal messages to ALL registered forum users.

I would like this but I think reminder emails should be sent out! I check my email often but I dont check the forums as often so I missed the last two events sad
I think when events or just weekly things are set a mail should go out (even forum PM because I get an email telling me) to everyone on the forums as soon as the date and times are set then again the morning of the event maybe? But at least once ahead of time and I would definitely be there as much as possible, I always check to see if this servers populated before joining over at pixel smile

I sent out e-mails to almost everyone today, didn't you get one? I got one reply until now.

€: I like your idea, something like a newsletter would be good.

I got your Mail Eye, thanks for that. With one or two days during the week I would agree. I couldn´t promise that I participate every day but i´ll try. I vote for Tuesday and Thursday at 18 GMT that is 19.00 Uhr im deutschen Reich ;).

Well yes Mr_J my Audi is very important at the Moment cool My Goal was to put him on his feet again till X-mas but it seems I would fail sad . But to the end of the year he will be stored in my garage here where I live, so I don´t have to drive 60km roundtrip wacko to work at him. That will make me more flexibel to calculate the time if I work at him.
I have my regular job also and everyone want´s to quit his buildingsite before x-mas cry uff ... Time is so short atm and flows with lightspeed it seems ...

Perhaps I could do as a server admin, but as a moderater or specialy as a forumadmin my abilitys sucks shy sad but true. During my 4 aktive years in a FH comunity I spend 3 years in the staff of axis side including 11 month as axisleader, so I know what that job takes about time that I don´t have anymore. It takes about 6 month I remember, to get familiar with most features off the forum and my powers of comprehension in that kind off technic are ... slow dry . I didn´t managed it until now to put an avatar in my profile biggrin .

Well but I think Eye´s initiative is very good to push players to the maximum that is possible! And I support him as possible.

Regards, der Eberhahn

nun ja wenn ich was falsch verstanden habe verbessere mich!!wäre schön wenn einer nen tehma öffnet es auch in deutsch posten würde!weiss wir leben in der zeit englisch weltsprache aber ich bin dafür auch in deutsch cool weil jeder ist nicht so perfect in englisch! angry muss ich ja auch nicht happy thx

@Sepp
Also, mir gehts darum, das Spielerpotenzial, das vorhanden ist, besser zu nutzen. Wir haben ungefähr 40 halbwegs aktive Spieler, allerdings sind immer nur maximal 15 gleichzeitig online, teilweise sogar an Events, manche leaven da schon während der ersten map. Die Idee ist daher, sich auf ein bis zwei Tage und eine Uhrzeit zu einigen an der jeder pünktlich erscheint. Ich würde als erstes Sonntag 18 oder 19 Uhr vorschlagen, da dort die meisten Zeit haben. Ich denke, dass es durch die höhere Spielerzahl eben mehr Spaß machen würde, es erfordert aber natürlich Disziplin von jedem einzelnen. Ein Problem ist natürlich, wie du schon sagst, dass manche gar nicht ins Forum oder die Seite schauen. Die müsste man irgendwie hierher lotsen (ingame ansprechen z. B.).

Ich hab an fast alle (bis auf die Stamm-User) im Forum eine Mail geschrieben, ob sie mitmachen würden. Ich warte jetzt einfach wieviele hier oder per Mail antworten, dann sehe ich schon, ob es sich lohnt.

Die Tickets sollten auf jeden Fall wieder runter, da bin ich auch dafür. (ticket modifier = 100% wars glaub ich, also ca. 300-500 tickets pro Seite, je nach map)

I'm in everytime I can... I could also confiscate the famous AUDI if Stephan wento to Italy cool
Starting next week I will have more free time in evening so I will be often on line... even if I have a bad flu now.
I'm trying to persuade a lot of old italian BF42 players to try or re-join FHSW but a large part of them sold or threw their BF cd away... wacko
One of the big problem for new players is the loooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggg time. They hate to wait then prefer play an horrible game like BF3 or MW3 with a lot of nutella kids....
I heve my site on line too, but we have 10 visit per week, so i think it's unuseful...

Gelesen hab ichs schon. Sry, dass ich nichts dazu geschrieben hab.

Wie dem Sepp ist mir jeder Tag recht. Wenn sich genügend Leute finden, dann wäre wahrscheinlich eine Umfrage am sinnvollsten.

Hi Guys. I absolutely agree with the proposal. Weekday games and the game for me does not matter. My job - it's duty in the service of the accident at the gas lanes. My shift may be on the weekend. But I'm always happy to take part in the game. Unfortunately most of the players from the Russian team moved to the modern game, but I'm sure it's not for long.
