[COMMUNITY] Exodus Gaming Community wants your feedback! (Page 1 of 2)

Finally a U.S.A. sever!
My favorite mods are: DDrace, Bomb and war3.

Highlight mods you might want to host: Instagib CTF, Zombie, and RACE.

Hi all, I'm an admin in ExodusCommunity.com too.

We already changed the limit to 1000 a few days ago, should be alright now

AMN, Thank you for your feedback. We have been running the CTF, DM and TDM servers for quite a while but the playercounts were not more than average. We had some peaks but the games didn't last long, which is why we're looking into expanding, and that's why we're requesting feedback for possible new servers and suggestions for changes to our current servers.

I hope you understand our point of view a bit better now, but I understand yours aswell. We just want to see which mods are popular when we host them and which ones simply don't work.

Thanks for your feedback. Like I have said, we've been running the servers for around 5 months with no particular sign of interest showing from both the TW and our already existing community. After 5 months, only one player (yem, as I said earlier) has joined our forums and that's the only sign of interest that we've recieved. Not that I blame anyone except myself, because I have barely put any time into this.

We were discussing if we should continue the project or shut it down as we still have a lot of things to develop and TW didn't fit the schedule, as the community interest for it was low and so was the activity. If we stopped running it, there would be noone who would miss it. The only reason we've kept it running for 5 months without any sign of interest in it was because it demands very low of our server's resources. Though, the arrival of yem put a halt to that discussion and we were wondering if there's any chance for us to proceed with this.

If you think that proceeding as a vanilla based community would be better than running mods makes me wonder what else we, as a community, can do to attract players, except for the low USA pings. After all, a basic vanilla server is just.. a basic one, with nothing special to make your server(s) stand out from any other. And, as you can see when you open the server browser, the amount of servers is a lot, so we have to stand out somehow to get our name out and make our servers more successful in terms of playercount.

I'm still eagerly awaiting any feedback. We indeed want to provide a good service with excellent quality for USA players like you suggested. You were talking about advertising our servers, but I was wondering where we could do that. This seemed like the most logical start for me, but if you have any pointers for me, then I'm all ears.

Most of the population is NOT USA, therefore, some people may find playing on this server kind of inconvenient. Good work Exodus, now I can play on a non lagging server:). If you would make a more "popular" server (I see you are trying to do so). We must create an American Community.

All this information can be gained from the server output/log. It's not necessary to mod the server.

1on1 servers might come in the future, can't tell exactly when, but we do have them planned.

Also, for the pure server, we did not modigy the gametype. It is normal, regular CTF, but we run a second exe alongside it that parses the server log and outputs it in a modified way to make it easy to read. It's not modifying the server executable, nor is it infuencing gameplay, so there should be no problem at all to run it as a normal gametype.

Last, but not least, when you quit the server, the log also shows you kill yourself. It's just the way the game behaves.

Fazer, which server is this about? I'll see if I can add the vote option

Thanks for the feedback!

Hey people,

I'm still eagerly awaiting feedback by Fazer for the vote option. I'd also like feedback on the Assault mod, have you played it? Liked it? Why (not)?

Thanks

P.S. The 1v1 server will come online later this evening.

[EDIT] 1v1 Server is now online, exoduscommunity.com:8315

OMG! 1on1 server! thanks you alot! but one thing: make the numeb of players 16, but spectator slots 14, so other people can watch the 1on1. hm?

Sorry about the wait, I couldn't come on for some times. I believe the one server I am talking about is the server called [Exodus] USA - CTF. Its great for practicing and all but it has a time limit

sorry about the wait,
fazer!
