PvP Tournament - Every Sunday

[Nemesis-T-Warlock]

Seeing one or twp people. Couple of OK fights. PLEASE turn off crime reporting. Now I have Fed Fighters after me.

 

[bassman]

Have rejoined in open, not a soul around apart (humans that is).
Am there now (20:51)

 

[wstephenson]

Seems like the group has vanished.

Erimus disbanded it as it wasn't working. Open play now. Heading to the RES now, myself.

 

[Skaldy]

Just got blasted by Nemesis Didn't think my loaned pulse lasers would be that good... I saw several craft there, so it's a success in that sense. I'd prefer to do this kind of thing outside of open play really. Like some kind of simulated arena setup.

 

[Erimus Kamzel]

Seems like the group has vanished.

Group wasn't working unfortunately so it was dropped for Open play.

Got creamed by Nemesis That rail gun stripped my shields right off with one shot! gg

Note to self: don't trust Voice Attack in a fight. Was left as a sitting duck with no thrust...

Well at least someone got some action :smilie:

Couldn't see anyone in open play or private group.

Have to say - the multiplayer side of this game is barely working. I'm beginning to wonder if 32 players in one instance is ever going to happen.

It might explain why the game seems bereft of players when travelling around.

I agree. Supercruise seems fine - I see players everywhere. But when you drop out it seems to create an empty instance and separates players instead of matching them.

I was just there destroying cobras lol only one other sidewinder..I'll b there again in a few mins so add me or say hi if u see me

At best I see maybe 3-5 people at a time in SC... I suppose we should ticket this private group problem.

 

[Erimus Kamzel]

Its good to see some of you getting some pvp action - so it hasn't been a complete write off.

I asked you to dance first

 

[tornadojoe87]

I did notice there were plenty of eagles there... Will they intervene?

Now there's only cobra and eagles.. There's a few NPC sidewinders mining bit no players

So I just checked that on arrival in the RES, and discovered it was off the whole time. Perhaps that's why NPC pirates have been attacking me and I got a bounty for responding!

 

[M3SS3NG3R]

Got creamed in all of my fights so far Good fun when it works, problem is it doesn't work all that often...

I am beginning to notice a trend, namely everyone seems to connect to certain individuals (in my case, Kentue and Nemesis). Perhaps it has something to do with firewall settings? Anybody know anything about the ports ED uses?

Also, resource extraction site has a bit too much sensor clutter to find players quickly due to the number of NPCs and asteroids. Hopefully in the future we will have a distress beacon for multiplayer so one person (the host) can use the beacon and make it show up in supercruise, then everyone can just cruise there and drop into the same instance with the host. Kinda like how the red soul sign works in Dark Souls.

 

[wstephenson]

Well that's chalk me up to Nemesis T, his first rail gun took out my power dist and then i was stuck with all pips in shields...

 

[MadMat]

Well I found another commander there, but don't think he was from this list as we ended up teaming up on some NPCs . . . .

 

[Nemesis-T-Warlock]

Back shortly. Got to go pay off my fines. It's a bit pants when two NPC eagles keep coming after you.

 

[Captain N]

I crashed in the middle of my fight with Martock... looked like you were winning, it was gripping fight. (Even if Cobras weren't strictly allowed in the rules...) Just to let you know I didn't Alt-F4 on you!

 

[Erimus Kamzel]

I guess attempting group events is a no go in current beta.

If there's interest for another event next week it may be worth trying just friending each other instead. I've had more success in being matched with friends in multiplayer. It could be a more reliable way to hold events until grouping gets fixed.

 

[bassman]

Still not seen anyone. I even tried progressively blocking each server in windows firewall (there seem to be 6 of them) and despite joining the game on each of the 6 servers I never saw anyone.

 

[M3SS3NG3R]

It's a good thing we are doing this. This is exactly the kind of thing we should be testing for in beta.

I am all up for another go next week if there's an update addressing multiplayer connectivity.

I'm happy to be friended by anyone on this thread. While this was flawed to hell it was still fun. Kentue, you sly dog.
