32 Player Anarchy on Friday?
I think we should all get together and pack as many people as possible into one Anarchy game! Why not get together in the same game? Can you imangine how much fun it would be? I've played in a 20 person game with little lag. This can be done.
Quadsomniac, would be an excellent map choice.
Thoughts?

I personally do not find bi3 boring. The level is fast paced and in my opinion very well designed for game play.CDN_Merlin wrote:Build a new level with 3 cubes, pack 32 players in it and that's what you want?

Here's a revamp of Burning Indika. No corners or doors.

I disagree with you on two points, Stryker. I don't think you really need an outside level for so many people, just a good sized level. And concerning BI3, there's something to be said for a little crowding.
My first thought was that Apparition - No Terrain would be a great setting for that kind of game, but when I think about it, that large mirror in the floor of the lower room might be a problem for some, with so many players in there.

32-man anarchy in BI3 would be... don't even make me think about that. Fusion bug galore; one fusion shot could *EASILY* take out 5-10 players. Ouch.
On the other hand, yeah thorne, you're right, it doesn't need to be outside, but it'd need to be a danged HUGE inside area though. See Swamp Kings for size reference.

*****Warning!!! 32 player Bi3 not recommended for n00bs!!!*****

ive only played polaris with 16 peeps... ive played d3 for like 6 years or 7 years or something but i only got on the internet like 2 and 1/2 years ago... i missed the "good old days" ...
fury level 6 might be a good level... is it the level where it has symmetrical sides... no underground paths, just a giant level, and a glitch where if ur in one room, you can hear things in the identical room on the other side of the level?

Sorry to say, there have never been any 32-player games in d3 ever. The server always requires one spot. So, the max is 31 players in one game.
In the day when I ran my servers, the max I got was around 24 (still good) even when the server max was set to allow 31.
You must have a perfect, high bandwidth connection to play a large game without lag. That's why I couldn't get more than 24. The small-piped players would leave because it wasn't any fun.
And, the server MUST have at least a 1.6 megabit upload or else forget about it. That's more than a T1, FYI.
Good luck... I'll be there if I can.

Or you could just make a mod that lets everyone carry 43542736 rounds of rapid fire MD...and have them play it in Apparition...but make a way so that no one can fly inside, only outside....that would be about as fun as AIDS.Stryker wrote:Actually, 32-man BI3 WOULD be good for n00bs. Anyone can duct-tape their trigger and secondary fire button an get a kill the instant they spawn.
Its just that wide open outside combat just doesnt seem like Descent to me....

Quadsomniac
Is Quadsomniac avalible @ Planet Descent? I am not sure i have that on my machine and will need to get it. I have never done that manually, I haven't added a level since PXO.

Re: Quadsomniac
No wonder I couldn't find it on any of the mission archives. I was trying to answer phlegm's question, and I had the same problem myself.Trackball wrote:It comes with the game.
