AT's Dedicated BF3 Server and Origin List

[Fanatical Meat]

Back to the server, how can you find your ping? Mine are always blank for every server.

How much does the AT server cost a month?

It's a shade under $50/mo. The Mumble server is about $7/mo.

I was only able to get to play on the AT server for a little while last night. It was always full.

Anyway we could get a reserved seat? Donations or something?

You can bet that as soon as they get the stupid thing working, we'll have it. It'll probably be a 'throw a couple of bucks at the server and get a reserved slot.' No minimums or anything.

Thanks to everyone for their generous donations so far. We've got enough to keep it going for another few months! AT is the bestest.

A fiend of mine had this issue. Switching from Firefox to Google Chrome browser fixed it.
Alternatively, try running the browser as an Admin.

To check ping while in game, I heard Alt-Ctrl-A showed the ping in the beta. I haven't tested it in retail yet.

I think they fixed it for Firefox, ~2 nights ago it suddenly started showing up for me.

 

[minmaster]

that said, is there a way to check your in-game ping?

Just tossing my name in the had

TalkToLee Add me bitches...because I have no friends to game with and hate the silence

I'll be trying to fill up my Conquest 64 man server again tomorrow night at 7 P.M. or so. It's a NY server, so only really good for east coasters. If traffic remains low I'll probably move it to Chicago or Dallas.

Stupid server stupid crashed. What was happening when it went down?

Not much, I don't think. Middle of a round, IIRC.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

My server was going well tonight even w/ 64 on Caspian, then at the end of a Damavand round it went crazy rubberband until the next round started. Mem leaks?

 

[GullyFoyle]

Damavand Peak Conquest.

Fun gaming with you guys tonight. I finally feel like I have the hang of the game... after almost 9 hours. Now it's finally time to get my KDR out of the dumpers, common 2.0!!!

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Where's the party tonight, tug boat or the previously mentioned 64 man server?

Last night I saw lots of people in Parties, but no one on the Mumble server except Nizology. It's been that way the last few times I joined.
Is it because you don't want to load Mumble (was new for me), or are just too shy?
Is there a better way to organize the Mumble server, besides US and Russians, since the game switches you between teams often?
Would it attract more people if you had the ability to create channels on the fly (not sure that it doesn't, ATM)?

There were about 8 of us in a party voice chat. So to some extent, the various out-of-game VOIP options are competing.

I'd say that unless others see a strong need for the Mumble server, JSchmuck could probably skip it next month to save money.

That being said, even the party voice feature leaves a lot to be desired. For one thing, we were on opposing teams since we joined a server as a huge party, which is one of the drawbacks I initially saw with Mumble, and secondly, because the voice isn't associated with the player's names on the screen, you actually can't tell who's talking. That's pretty problematic until (well, if) we actually start to recognize each other's voices.

I know it's kind of slow, but I still think text chat is pretty effective for some things within a squad (and I was using that with you last night Gully, before I crashed).

Text chat isn't ever reliable (at least for me). I see stuff wayyyy after the fact.

Soldier name is Boozler, add me to the list please.

Large parties are ok for just hanging out but for playing, You want just your squad.

I agree, this is one of the worst parts. I like having a lot of people on voice so we can coordinate.. but not being able to tell who is talking sucks!

And coordinating with the other team...well, that's counter-productive! (but everyone was a good sport about it)

forgot about mumble

There was an update for the browser today and now my IE shows pings, plus there's more options listed for joining servers.

 

[akahoovy]

I have a feeling voice chat will be implemented in a future patch since it is so problematic, but you gotta wonder at what Dice was focusing on to ignore squad and team voice chat and leave it out...

On that note, I don't think I will be joining the Mumble server or any voice chat, as the quality of my connection prohibits me from communicating entirely. Otherwise I'd be on there right away.

Heh, we were talking about this last night on the party chat. Problem #1: the Mumble server was never prominently advertised in this thread. Problem #2: it's hard to match channels to teams, much less squads.

BF3 does veyr well(atleast for me) with alt tabbing.

there is nothing stopping us from re-partying up with squadmates while we wait to spawn at the beginning....

yeah it will be sort of annoying, but it will work

just sucks that it will kill some of the smack talking with paqster and greg and others




seems there have been TWO battlelog updates in the last 24 hours.

infantry only was added yesterday and so was custom I think, all the detailed additions are great:

Map rotation
Game mode rotation
Password protection

in addition to free slots changes(1-5, 6-10, 10+ and empty now)

we have game size additions too 16 24 32 64


I really think battlelog is now the best server browser to grace a BF game

Awesome night on the AT server tonight. My stats were not great, but I still had a blast. Good things like this are worth paying for... $20 on the way mr schmuck
