making CloD a success

[BH_woodstock]

if it was not for steam dropping the servers I think there would be more confidence with people using Hyperlobby.Has there been any progress in steams commitment to Cliffs of Dover support?How long has it been since the servers have been down?
I dont see Dover ever getting Global chat.And with all the problems we have it would sure help.that is the most important thing.If it had Global chat i would have had my game dialed in a long time ago and would be flying every single night and have a squad going by now.The numbers we see online would be tenfold
Yes hyperlobby may be old but there is a saying where i come from
"If it aint broke.....dont fix it"

And it has been updated to support Dover.

The lack of chat is a big issue.

The lack of CO-OPs is a killer.

I really hope they look in to the latter at the very least.

You can easily combine the DF style with the coop style with the mission menu, which is claimed to be working after the latest patch.

That existed already over 6 months ago. You just need to find enough player interested into that kind of gameplay.

And there lies the problem.

There are servers which already use the mission menu call up of missions on dogfight servers. Methinks "king1hw" is trying that concept with introducing a "new server" in the online section.

Unfortunatly I cannot spent my time into further developement of this at the moment, due limited sparetime and other priorities.

And frankly spoken, the game is not in the state yet in which you could fly coop-style online wars anyhow. The network issues are too dominant to use significant AI online, the crashes are too regularly experienced by a too many players to motivate squads to dedicate their time. It is simply too frustrating to organize a squad of 12 pilots bring them in formation, just to see that the half of the group, has to quit because of CTDs midflight.
