SF vs Ace

craigp · Post by **craigp** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 6:09 pm

Hey, there was a game on my server on Sunday.

As always, you can find the stats here and a reconstruction here.

A much shorter game than my previous one, this one was won by the WildCards.

What's interesting to me is that the WildCards simply have more tech and builds, buying upgrades much more often than SF. Similarly, it looks like ACE simply had more people, as MadAccountant had MadAmountsofCash compared to God. ACE also dominated the kills, damage, treasure grabs, scans...

However, I think this may be an artifact of the way the teams worked. For example, it looks like Wizard dropped and rejoined eight times, and recon at least five. This would split their accomplishments up, since each session is an independent character in the current (temporary) way of viewing things. So they may be at the bottom unfairly.

Even given that, however, it looks like the game was dominated by ACE. But, of course, I didn't play. Any comments?

PS: Sorry I'm late. I for some reason thought someone else would start the thread, but I finally got asked to do so, so I did so.

Afternoon:

I haven't had a chance to write you my PM regarding our latest experience. However, since you posted, we had too many people who had connection issues the entire game. We ended up having to go back to to the main lobby and join a European server because of the ongoing issues.

I'll write you a more detailed PM sometime in the next 24 hours. =)

Hmmm, I'd like to know more. I don't see any reason why our server should have been dropping people or having significant lag: were the ones that were dropped in a specific location, or known to have a specific kind of issue? For example, is SF mostly based in Germany?

Ah, well, I imagine that will be in the PM.

In travel by sector, what does the Sector Traveled column mean. Like:

Target---------Sectors Traveled
Blenhem -----------25

What exactly does the 25 mean?

I can't look at that, not allowed.

And Spidey recalls correctly: it's how often the sector was viewed.

This stats system will be revamped completely soonish. Currently I've got most of the playback features working...ish... and I'm beginning work on the new stats aggregator.

Craig did you ever figure out how the money stuff was sorted?

It's going to be a fairly useless figure for a few weeks. I'm going to redo much of the collection system so it won't be quite so brain-damaged, but I have to work that time around our office schedule, and lots of people have vacations coming up.

If anyone has significant ping or framerate issues, I'd like to hear from you as to where you are and how good your connection to other servers usually is. It looks like it's pretty scattershot, with a few people having issues and most not, but I can't confirm that since I can't record your framerates. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Well I have no idea how the game went I couldn't even connect to the game server. From the lobbey I would click on the server and it would time out giving me the " failure connecting to server" I could connect to any other server in the normal and beta lobbeys. My ping rate floated between 19 and 35 so not really sure what the issue was.
