Here is the direct link to the Map pack d.l for those not wanting to have to decipher any of the front german pages. Make sure to turn off your pop up blocker, or allow the d/l when it gets blocked.

A page opens in German with this link, but the d/l should pop open in a cpl seconds. If not, click on the 'hier' link.

[ninken]

Noooo..... I Don't make excuses, but I can't be there for the CTF on Sunday 24th it's my first year wedding anniversary. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Plus you made no comment on What to do with our wifes?

[DarkStar]

How about we make CTF day both Saturday and Sunday. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Personally I'm free all weekend, except for Sunday. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Why not post a Saturday -Euro Convenient Time & Place-

[MadMax]

I think for Wednesday it should be before 0:00 European Thursday, i.e. 6 PM U.S. time. On the weekend I have nothing against 9 PM U.S. time = 3 AM European time, but some others might... if we drop that back to 1 AM = 7 PM U.S. time, I think more people could handle that.

[phxTOM]

everything after midnight i don't like (i'm not 18 anymore). /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
what about 9-11pm cet - 3-5pm eastern?

[fjl]

I understand adding the patch, But why would you need to add the skins?

because many of us (like me) have their own customized skins.. and its more fun to be running around and see the dude in full white and know "hey! there goes thedarthjedi!" or see the guy nakked with but a leaf covering his.. bit.... and know that either someone is using Big Nasty's skin.. or he's back........

and lets not even bother mentioning the nude elexis'es...

its all about personalization!

and fun!

/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

dont load them if you dont want..
that is, if you WANT to see a bunch of identical BLADE's running around, then yea, dont bother.

as for me, i consider them as important as the patches /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[fjl]

What happens if i dont install them and try to connect? Will it annoyingly try to download them all?

[badman]

There is no auto-downloading of skins, so if you don't have the files, you'll just get the default skins.

[Grandpapa]

I'm sorry, but i'm on the road 24/5 so i can't join to dm, but i can join ctf part, if it's on saturday night (european time) So for me it's only weekends when i can play, during posting this i was a quick showering at home since i happenend to be here in my hometown, loading cargo /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[MadMax]

Will we need to download any maps for DM too?

[T0ssu]

I got few problems with SIN but i think that i can solve them and I'M READY TO KICK ASS!!! oh one question.. is LEVELORD coming? i love to kick HIS ass =)

[MadMax]

Got any fixed times ready? Wednesday has started here and I'm waiting for a signal... who's with me?

Oh, by the way, I just connected to the DM server and I had a terrible lag of around 700 ms... I hope this won't be the case tonight?

Read the first post Max. 9PM Eastern

[MadMax]

That's fine with me, but I thought we were going to change this for some other European gamers.
Oh well, I'll be there at 9 PM.

Thanks for flexing for us. I find if we start changing times then we confuse folks...next time we can try for an earlier saturday or sunday time to accomodate a more globally united SinDay....

[ninken]

Seems like im not the only one complaining about the date set for the CTF, Maybe Do it Saturday & Sunday? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I plan on being on the CTF server on Saturday and I get the filling there will be others. So let's just say both days.

If it's empty come find me on ETG #xeno or quakenet #ritualistic

We can atleast snipe on Zor /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MadMax]

No ping excuses


Well, that didn't do it for me - the ping tonight on the DM server was horrible, it jumped between 200 and 1100 and I couldn't even move. No Sin DM for me, maybe I'll have better luck on Sunday.

[JezzyBall]

Sorry you had the problem. I did not. Thanks to all who came around. Hopefully that was a good warm - up for the CTF match this Saturday!!!!!

THAT i'll be there for!

(totally missed the correct time.. unexpected dinner engagement had me down the street drinking liquor..... hey! i cant pass it up when its free!!)

[Lord Byroth]

That was fun yesterday--someone even was bitching about there being too many people on the server /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[TWISTER]

I`ll be there to ping rape you yanks /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[JezzyBall]

Posting from Lollapalooza Lounge. No one on the server for CTF. So I'm gonna go back and watch the Pixies finish up! Frag on!

[MadMax]

CTF is scheduled for Sunday, not Saturday.

[JezzyBall]

I know I posted it. I thought the guys from Euro were trying for Saturday too.

[MadMax]

Late reminder for those who live in countries with summer/winter time changes: we have summer time, that means for us it's TWO A.M., not 3 A.M. as it would normally be!

EDIT: Dammit, I just connected to the server and again I get a horrible ping of up to 1400; I CAN'T PLAY! Stupid... *goes back to his pinball machines*

EDIT 2: Now it works... after turned off my BitTorrent download... but I KNOW I tried this with DM on Wednesday and it did NOT work... oh well, I hope it will work at 2 AM...

[Rogue]

going to bed now setting alarm for 1.50am

[DaVirus]

Well the server you guys picked really blows 180 ping /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif count me out have fun though . Btw next time have it on a server worth playing on not some UK crappy ass server Thanks

[MadMax]

Okay, here's my feedback after two hours of Sin CTF, my FIRST Sin CTF ever:

First, the server was great for me; ping 80, what more to ask for. Played soft like butter. Then all of you guys were very nice; the team worked well together. I actually managed to make some captures although I blew most of the time. Sin is just so different from UT and other multiplayer games, it takes getting used to.

It's been a great rush, I look forward to next time, and especially to Sin Episodes MP!

Now there's something I really don't like; why don't tech powerups time out? I had regeneration for like ten minutes and nobody could stop me, I made three captures in a row with that without dying... it's a little unfair to other players.Also, some of the maps were hard to oversee... but I guess that's what comes with the "first time".

Anyway, it's been fun.

[mindphuck]

k sinday shoulda been planned better... it sucked... anyways... we should do it again next weekend or smth... my servers (the last ctf server and sincity 24/7) will continue to be online 24/7 and when players r on i will shutdown all traffic on the lines to maximize pings and illiminate lag.... i will also give the rcon password to a select few people so the servers can be controlled at all times... the servers are there for the community and if any1 wants the deathmatch flags changed they just need to come out with the number and we can do that... if the majority of online players at that time agrees of course...


anyways my vote as far as official CTF server goes should be the only one that is truely dedicated to it... and not just some 1 day server... anyways lets do another sin day... the right way :P

and btw... maybe we could post this in SIN AND WOS and not SIN2... huh.. whatya say

Those of you who have servers (and I thank you) I encourage you to set up the next one and coordinate. I posted times and servers just so we could stop talking and DO IT!. There never will be a time when all are satisfied with only 5-6 servers.

MindP- Go for it! and I think WOS DM maps are a MUST!

DV - Man your so good. Too bad your such a whiner man. Just play or set up a server.

Glad to have you out Max. I think once you play more you'll relaize that the runes all have thier pluses and minuses and weapons or attacks that can counter them. The Death Quad and Empathy Rune are good attacks against the health Quad.

I've gotta say, There are Sooomany excellent snipers now that my opinion may be changing for CTF (this is gonna be controversial) but I think the Sniper Rifle should be set up with a flag to remove it if the server admin wishes...

[TheDarthJedi]

ahh
that was fun!!
