TV1 Max!!!

Well you all probably noticed on tv1 the player count went up to 28. If you were playing on it when the server got full let me know how the ping was... To me it looked pretty good for the most part on every map except warpath..

Just got done a 13 on 13 game of Warpath. No lag to report.

I don't think you should. The server might be able to handle it, but it still gets a little annoying. While I was playing, I kept getting about .5 second spikes, and my ping was near 100 (that's high for me compared to the 50 or so I normally get). Warpath was worse the Acrop, not by much, but still annoying. Plues, the extra spam you get with 8 more players can really ruin a game. On something like warpath, where spam is the key most of the times, 2 extra sg's and 4 extra mirvs could just be the thing to make that map like rock2, an all defense map. Cause offense just wouldn't be as fun, since it would be pretty hard to get anywhere.

Just my thoughts...

Twenty-eight is imo way too many. I pinged over 100 whereas its normally like 60, but that I can deal with. What was annoying is it gets kinda spammy and turtling seems to start up.

22 would be better.

You can't get better than a 16 player limit. 18 and 20 are also okay for pubs, but anything over 20 is too overwhelming.

No! The ping isn't nearly as bad as the spammage..

It's just too much traffic.. it makes O too tuff, and just promotes ppl yard spamming

I'd go with no more than 20 public spots.

I pretty much agree with what everyone else says. My connection was just fine on a full server tonight, but there were about half a dozen people who mentioned lag spikes. Plus, that many people freaks me out. You have 3-4 people attacking you wherever you go!

No need for all those slots while the other servers sit empty, I say. And let's get those loony bots running on all the TFC servers! You can find a handful of humans on TV1 pretty much any time of day now. It definitely draws people in.

Yea, i agree it was a spamfest!!! Pings were still pretty good and playable. Only ones i really heard complaining were the HPW's.. At least now i know the server can handle it. Maybe we can do a really kick ass Spam Fest Fun Nite on it one of these days! Im gonna drop it down to 22 players tonite. 2 of those slots being reserved. Ill tell you one thang it was fun for while!
