Bat Country: PLANETSIDE (Emerald, Vanu faction) ROLL CALL! 2/17/2007

[Merusk]

What kind of connection are you using? After I found a CRC error on my 2nd original install disc, I just downloaded the patcher. Took about an hour and fifteen minutes, I just watched Surface and read a little and it was done. I can pull about 6Mbps on my cable modem, though (on a good day with the wind at my back).

Cable modem, 300up/ 600down.  The patcher isn't lying because even after I had to wipe the computer and re-ghost last night (don't ask) it was still telling me 8:15:22 this morning.  The wife's at home with the kids and I asked her to keep an eye on it.. sure enough it's now at 4h remaining.

I'd suspect network issues on my end, but everything else I've downloded has been its usual quickness.  I'm wondering if it might have something to do with using the Reserves patcher.  I didn't re-up my sub quite yet so I'm marked as a mooching loony rather than a paying customer.

[Chenghiz]

Is there a port I need to forward or something? Mine started showing 14 hours and now, after leaving it up overnight and all morning, it's at 76 hours.

[Der Helm]

Maybe the timer is messed? Mine patched in 1 hour, 30 minutes and it seemed to count it correctly.

I hope so, because now I am sitting at 12 hours 30 minutes ...

[tazelbain]

I am a moocher also, but it only took me a little over an hour.

[Cheddar]

Ditto.  I would say flush your ARP cache, but you said you reloaded.

[Der Helm]

Hm. Restarted the download, now my DSL monitor tells me the launchpad is downloading with 1500 kbit/s. 

I usually download at much higher speeds, but that is much better than the 300 kbit/s I was getting before :-D

[bhodi]

I think it's on their side, my bandwidth stands at about 3mb/sec down, and I wasn't getting anywhere near that.

[Evangolis]

PArts of the core internet got mail bombed yesterday, might be part of the issue.

[Chorulle]

I think I still have an Vanu character on Emerald, BR 10 or something.  I know he was certed for a BFR when I last left.  Name was Aradian or Naidara I believe.  Guess I'll download the client and start patching tonight

[Lantyssa]

Rollcall: Ailuridae - Vanu, Emerald

I still need to do the VR room and a tutorial or two, but she's made and ready to be made a part of the outfit.  If the roomie is around I'll likely be playing NC.  We'll see how this shakes out.

[Evangolis]

My second char is Sklar, MAX/Armor driver.  I'm going to make Evangolis a support char with stealth, advanced hacking, and basic engineering.

[Merusk]

Made Merusk last night.  R4 focusing on heavy weapons.  Since my station account has me listed as a 2-year vet I also get to use the vet reward sniper rifle w/o a cert.  Buahahah.

[Der Helm]

Ok, I am in. DerHelm. Emerald Server, Vanu.

And now for a little bit of target practice ...

[tazelbain]

We don't have an outfit yet.  We need ten people in a squad first.  Most we have had is 6.
When you are ready venture out, log into vent or say something in IRC so we can add you to the squad.

Didn't I see you piloting Lib yesterday on Emerald/Vanu?

[Jimbo]

JimboF13 or something like that, just finished with the VR and at BR4.  I'm a tank driver, wow I get to actually shoot while driving the barney boat.

[Nija]

Crap, don't change games until I get a chance to play. Won't have any time tonight either, but tomorrow should work.

I guess just show up on F13 TS and see if there's a PS channel?

[Chorulle]

All patched up and ingame.  Character's name is Naidara, BR 13

[Viin]

We're using the Vent server instead. See here.

Aye, I did wave but Calandryll was the only one who responded  If you didn't notice i was also taking fire for you in my mossie at times while you were on your bombing runs 

[Merusk]

What times are the peak here?  I'm working at -5gmt (est) but I figure most of you are MTN/ PST (-7/-8 gmt)  If you're all getting on at 8pm local then no wonder I  haven't seen hide nor hair of anyone.

 I popped in for about 10 mins while doing the taxes last night and Nebu/ Tazel were the only ones on my friends list. 

- p.s.  - to set-up the friends list hit "p" then go to the appropriate tab.

[Sky]

I'm eastern time. I can usually get online a couple evenings a week, but early for the left coasters, like 5:30pm-8:30pm (eastern). Next week it will be tuesday night. Some nights if I'm not too tired I can get on around 10:30 or 11pm for an hour or so. Weekends are up in the air, maybe next saturday for a while (I mentioned elsewhere I'm skiing tomorrow). Sundays are usually shot, unless my buddy gets his hours changed now that football is over.

As I said in another post about playtimes, there are valid reasons why I like to solo in mmo. I'm just not reliable for playtimes because I don't have a lot of free time available, and rl always comes first.

I was going to jump on last night around 10:30, but I was beat and just went to bed. I've played a total of 55 minutes thus far.

[Tragny]

Just about to hit the BR 6 cap with Tragny. Did a little ANTing today thanks to Blixey's advice from last night. Fun at times, but as was posted by someone else earlier, I'm not entirely sold on the game. Worth the price of admission so far, though.

[gimpyone]

Cadwin
Couldn't seem to do anything as there seems to be a connection problem between me and planetside

[Strazos]

You might want to try talking to either their CS or someone in IRC. I remember having to do some port forwarding for my router back in beta. No idea if you're having the same problem.

[Sky]

My account still has my old friends list. I forget everyone on it, but it was folks like Darniaq, Geldon, CHICAGORANGER, Chorulle. What ever happened to Chico, is he still around somewhere?

[Slayerik]

Somehow my account says Trial Active, and its letting me play...hollllllla :)

[Nija]

I'm on finally. I'm walking around in circles and this school bus with wings lands in front of me full of names I recognize from here and a few random dipshits.

Nijasan in game, but i really suck so maybe put me on your friends list to know which areas to avoid.

[FatuousTwat]

Hmm... I tried updating an old install in it keep saying download canceled... As soon as I figure out what the deuce is I'll log in. Name will be f13Twat if it's allowed.

[Surlyboi]

You're gonna have to delete the install and re-install it. I was having the same problem and the only thing that fixed it was a clean install. The tech support forums were utterly useless in that regard.

[FatuousTwat]

Ah, I fixed it... Looked at the patch log and deleted the file it kept dying at. Didn't like the word twat so the name is Fatuous13.

Big shocker there ;)

[FatuousTwat]

Lol, I figured I might as well try.
