8v8 not 6v6!!

September 29, 2008 @ 13:56 PDT by Lucif3rhawk

patch 1.2 released!

September 29, 2008 @ 22:34 PDT by MyIS James

Getting six players per team is hard enough - requiring 8 would just cut the number of teams further.

September 30, 2008 @ 19:48 PDT by TV_12

K, I just think some of the maps are too big, but we'll go with it. Is there gonna be a "pro mod" or anything?

October 1, 2008 @ 02:29 PDT by Lucif3rhawk

The Map pool sucks! Why not, every Team wish one Map 2Rounds/Map!!!??? Most Tickets win!!!??? That would be realy cool for the Tournament. ALL Maps except Solarfarm(to big)

w00t need a #ffowScrim Channel.. Someone smarter than me doo eeet!

October 2, 2008 @ 10:29 PDT by EcKs

#ffowscrim is up and running (on gamesurge) Team leaders and league admins can pm here or on #ffowscrim for Ops.

Any chance on getting some rule clarity here? I realize its still a month away, but on the other hand, its only a month away. DOn't want to get too used to playing/using certain aspects of the game if they are not going to be included.

October 5, 2008 @ 03:01 PDT by Lucif3rhawk

Yeah, we need the Rulez to train a little!

October 6, 2008 @ 11:12 PDT by MyIS James

The basic rules are posted: http://league.totalgamingnetwork.com/burningnations/rules. We likely won't have significant modifications to the base game as far as weapons/abilities are concerned.

This Patch sucks! My Ping is going crazy! OMG!

October 19, 2008 @ 14:44 PDT by pgmoney

WHAT ABOUT CONFIG files for the servers, where can we get them? so the servers are set properly to be practiced on.

October 19, 2008 @ 14:51 PDT by MyIS James

We're working on a server config now, it will be released this week.

October 22, 2008 @ 10:16 PDT by EcKs

Anyone know if there is a way to login into rcon through in game console? If this is possible, what does the command line look like?

I found a rcon tool (3rd party) but it doesnt seem to work all that well and ends up crashing after every command sent.

October 22, 2008 @ 10:52 PDT by pgmoney

no the rcon tool is junk and made for the game before the patch this is why it does not work and is third party i3d.net had a place to download it. also the myinternetservices servers and many others are not up to date and bugged so they will not play correctly only found 3 companies that provide good workinf ffow servers. i3d.net but not us based and clanwarz.com but i highly recommend midnightgameing.net that is who we are with now after 50 support tickets with myinternet services and no results. midnight gameing.net support reacts in less then 2-5 minutes and will help you do anything you need asked for there servers. worth the extra .49 cents a slot. I am rather upset that myinternetservices.com is putting on this event but don't provide good servers just look at the ones in game and see how bugged they are. you'll fire blanks server freezes when capping a few points then all weapons will sound like one etc..gl and hf!

I'd like to see a removal of the Noobtube (Grenadelauncher) as it does not need any skill. Especially if you limit the amount of rocketlaunchers this should also be taken into consideration.

October 24, 2008 @ 11:48 PDT by shad

Ah, just another question concerning the rocketlauncher, is it just that a team is allowed to have only two at a time or is it the way that you have to point two players out who will be allowed to use it?

October 24, 2008 @ 19:01 PDT by MyIS James

"a team is allowed to have only two at a time"

That one.

October 26, 2008 @ 15:00 PDT by Lucif3rhawk

I agree with Shad! Plz reduce or stop the Noobtube in this Tournament! It would push the Tournament to a higher level of skill and its for the safety of the noobs, who are killing themself when they are shooting in the ground!

October 27, 2008 @ 14:04 PDT by Cr0w

Get rid of the grenade launcher please!

October 27, 2008 @ 14:07 PDT by Cr0w

I also noticed that about 50% of the enlisted teams are inactive or never played FFoW... is there a chance we will have just active teams in the bracket?
Maybe have all teamleaders respond to an admin via pm and have their enlistment and activity confirmed.
I really don't want to have inactive teams or teams that actually never played FFoW (you all know who i mean) have receiving some hardware prices for doing nothing.

October 27, 2008 @ 14:11 PDT by H4H_Blue

It would be nice to see the Grenade launcher be removed as I see almost anyone who is going to play use it exclusively and then switching over to gun to finish you off if they didn't quite kill you. It' a shame really.

October 28, 2008 @ 10:16 PDT by shad

Yeah, please remove the GL totally, there is no need for this weapon.

Register link is broken.

October 28, 2008 @ 11:19 PDT by MyIS James

"Register link is broken."

How so, it works for me???

October 28, 2008 @ 11:27 PDT by mgmidnight

The page just reloads and doesn't change. The link just goes to the same page.

October 28, 2008 @ 11:54 PDT by EcKs

There is a BIG red banner at the top of the "register" page, click it and it will take you to the sign ups.

October 28, 2008 @ 12:03 PDT by Cr0w

I want to know how anyone should track the number of GL and AT used ingame, especially in the heat of the battle?
I hope you review this rule, because there is a huge potential for abusing it in a negative way for all participating teams.
In case I will loose i will just make a protest and accuse the other team .. you simply can't proof it, except someone is tracking the serverlog and an admin will have a look into it...just takes you hours to review )

October 28, 2008 @ 12:07 PDT by Cr0w

- and I can edit the serverlog as well to my advantage.

There is one simple solution: BAN GL totally and allow as many ATs as the teams want.The Mappool is favoring inf only battles anyways, so no need for an Antivehicle Kit restriction..just makes no sense to all participating players I know.
And maybe think about downgrading role upgrades as well, I know some guys love these toys, but it is a huge loss of skillbased gameplay .. 50% is way enough - thank you.

October 28, 2008 @ 12:39 PDT by MyIS James

To file a dispute, you need proof. You can't just file a dispute and tell the admins to go find the proof. Editing server logs = lifetime ban for the individual responsible and your team forfeiting. We will work with server providers as needed to confirm log editing.

October 28, 2008 @ 12:52 PDT by dep

You miss his point Jamison. There is no server variable to enforce the amount of Assault class you listed in the ruleset (2). So, what exactly happens when a team uses (accidentally/intentionally) a third assault class? Is the round over? Also, there is no warm-up time in the server config so whoever loads the fastest gets to play the earliest.

October 28, 2008 @ 13:23 PDT by MyIS James

You should all have a new private message. The rules and server config have both been updates as a result of considering all feedback received.

October 28, 2008 @ 14:17 PDT by shad

My suggestions would be allow as many ATs as a team wants to use, in inf battles this kit will lose against a goog assault anyway. Then you could allow also as many assaults as a team wants to use and forbid the GL at all. If a team uses the GL you can proof this by uploading screens of GL kills and the problem is solved. In my opinion this is the best way to have fluent gameplay and less conflicts.
Please think about this as the current ruleset is far away from being optimal.

October 29, 2008 @ 21:58 PDT by mgmidnight

Is there a list of teams who have already signed up?

October 30, 2008 @ 05:27 PDT by atticus

9:30 pm eastern? It's about 3o'clock in the morning on monday for us -.- omg...

As explained in the rules, we're based in North America and must cater to our primary geographical area. We don't believe it's fair for US teams to sign-up for a US tournament, and than play at extremely early times on servers where they have 150-300 ping, just because they were unlucky enough to be paired with a foreign team.

October 31, 2008 @ 01:11 PDT by Cr0w

We don't have a problem playing in a US based tourney.
I KNEW EXACTLY what I did and what times we would have to play when signing up...it will be something special waking up at 3 am, having some coffee and start the engines...and go to work with some toothsticks in my eyes right afterwards..hehe
So we don't care, bring it on!

October 31, 2008 @ 20:14 PDT by peacemak3r

ive tried for about a week to patch the game and get it running, different error every time. 1.2 patch wont even open. extremly buggy, wont be able to compete along with many who couldnt get the game to patch. gl with the tourney

November 1, 2008 @ 14:24 PDT by Cr0w

Why is there still no BRACKET visible?

November 1, 2008 @ 17:53 PDT by MyIS James

"registration ends on November 1st at 10:00 PM Eastern!"

The bracket can only be created once registration ends. We're still a little over an hour away.
