What content in the demo would make you decide to purchase this game?

xNikex · #1 02-05-2009, 03:27 AM

yes i agree with guiltyspark on all of the features.

i also hope after game releases we can hope to buy maps and maybe additionals planes in the marketplace a while after release.

I wonder if anton can comment on my idea for region selection?

That would be an amazing tool for the players who live in countries like AU and some parts of europe who dont know what kind of room they are joining

and im sure it would be easy for the devs to implement into the game

Guys, that's not up to developers.
It is solely decided by Publisher, so I cant tell you anything certain now.
I will know, when we make Final builds with region locks.

no no no , you misunderstand anton

This is an in game option to have a little flag next to your server name showing where the host is at

so that players from that area can enjoy lag free games

Oh, I see.
I'll ask then.
Probably, just ping info would be enough?

That would actually be *preferable*!
Just the number, no rating necessary or colored dots. LOL
All MP games should have that.

honestly ?

No , i dont think it would be enough

Having the player (when he makes a match) select the region he is from would be a HUGE HUGE Thing for some of the gamers from other countries that have trouble organizing matches

I know that gamers from Australia have HUGE lag issues joining games from any other country

and it would be essential imo to have the best connection possible for those people.

Not to mention it would be quite innovative on the team's part to implement something like this to help gamers choose the right rooms for better connections

And i dont really think it would be that tricky to implement into the game

They have trouble ("lag") due to distance---if connecting to another country, which obviously means anyone other than AU.

Distance itself is a factor in ping, but not the only one certainly.
Ping would be good because it isn't just dependent on geographical distance, but also the line condition and distance of the route itself. If there are other factors influencing the connection, ping can reflect that. I don't want to connect to someone nearby just because they're geographically closer if there are line conditions resulting in a slower ping reply.
If I see a ping of 120ms, I don't want to connect to them regardless of where they are. However, if I get 55ms, I couldn't care less. Realistically, geography will come into play though, so it will all take care of itself.
