WOW! Thanks dude! This is awesome! Server's are great. Hopefully I'll be able to drop by some time this summer!! =)

well, judging from suncho's reply, they're east coaster friendly, so I'm stuck with instig8 and SQN servers still...

dfsaslkhdlgkh!!! thx for the effort TB, I'll check 'em out if/when I have time.

If the servers are at the lan center in Richardson TX I don't think they would be all that east coast friendly.

I may have to stop in when I'm in the area in June.

How about switching out Skybox with something else, Elysium (sp?) perhaps? I also hope you didn't do stupid server rules stuff like taking out the vauss cannon but leaving in 33058920 napalm rockets like I've been seeing a lot lately.

Other then that, looks great and the ping looks awesome too!

Ancient of Days ? Please ? Thanks a lot for putting up servers !!

Your Vamped server just had some lag. It kept spiking to 1.5 seconds and 100% loss. I thought my connect was having problems but turns out it was everyone. I thought it would go away but it didn't. Just thought I'd let you know.

Bunny, get rid of skybox. =P

Skybox is great!

athena?

Yeah, put some Athena up there. ^_~ And Nysa. ^_~

Any more comments?

Yes goto Server Ops get suscribed and ban all the hackers

Thanks, TB! You rock!

nice to see new servers up.
I do find it funny that you dis on stadium and abend but serve the absolute worst secondary whoring level(skybox)

hey TB next time i make it to DFW zone i would like to check it out

Sweet! I'll prolly drop in from time to time when my main rig is back online. (Stupid newegg sold me faulty RAM, so now I'm stuck on my spare box.)

Skybox is bad, but it is in not worse than Stadium or Abend.

Bad: Skybox
Worse: Stadium
Worst: Abend

heh... I think both Stadium and Abend are fairly decent levels. A bit heavy on the secondaries, though.

ahhh yes, I forgot about the S.A.L.(Suncho approved levels).

Heres the way I see it.
each level is built for a certain style of game play.
If a certain level fits your style of play, you will like that level and play it more often.
The bad part of this is....
when most people dont like the style of play in a level, They label it as bad or non playable level.
Now im not saying there isnt levels out there that really were not good levels for D3. but in most cases it's just pilots labeling their favorite and most hated levels accordingly.
I guess what im trying to say is just cause you hate a level doesnt mean its a shitty level.
You of course are entitleed to your opinion as much as the next guy. But that entitlement doesnt include bashing server ops for what they choose to serve on their private and graciously provided servers for a dwindling community.
Just sit back and look at the server list and think of all the good servers we have lost over the past couple of years.
It would be interesting (to me at least) to get ahold of some of the Ops and pick their brain as to why they quit running servers.
anyway, its too early to continue ranting on. I need coffee.
just my 11/2 cents worth. -Hat

Off topic:
Stadium is one of my favorite levels by far. It's a really good dogfighting level. I agree with Lothar that it is heavy on the secondaries. Team NuB will often practice in stadium with only blues and concs. Sharpens the aiming skills.

On topic:
Very cool site. I look forward to playing on some of the servers when the semester is finally over and I actually have time to play.

Hattrick, I fail to see how what I said is any worse than what you said. You said a level sucked:

Then I said some levels sucked:

Then you went into this big tirade about "Suncho Approved Levels" and how each level is special in its own way and must be loved equally...

Do you even know what SAL means? All 3 of those levels are SAL. There are plenty of non-SAL levels that are better than them too.

Here's the way I see it. Some levels are not built for any style of play and they're just sloppily put together. Pretty much all players recognize this and then don't play those levels. Newbies come into the game and they get owned on every server except one... the one with the crappy level playing on it. The crappy level then becomes their favorite level.

How can I objectively tell that a level sucks? If I join a Stadium or Abend server, everyone leaves the game more quickly and I have a higher chance of getting called a cheater. Newbies play the crappy level because they like it better because nobody of any skill comes into the game to play against them.

And why is it bad? Newbies get a place to call their home. Oh, you're right, it is bad... because all newbies are playing *crappy levels* and they're our future!

I'm not stupid. I know how to tell the difference. I hate Halcyon, but I don't think it's a crappy level.

I'm not bashing server ops. I don't even think it's their fault.

Doesn't matter. Servers come and go. Just be thankful to the people who are hosting now, and if ya see the people who hosted before, then thank them for all they gave. =)

I'm sure they all have different reasons.

TB, ignore them. Great servers, run what you want dude...

Don't be hatin'!!!
