Is it me or are there only 10 people on at any given time, i'm pretty sure i'm using 1.1 but what gives?
Everyone on the forums say they play but, I go to find servers, about 7 of 10 are empty.
When i first started playing, I was expecting a flood of players eventually (it's Goldeneye after all) but,
it's pretty quiet when trying to find a server. Is the game going to be announced(to the media,etc.)
when Beta 3 is available or is this game doomed to a life of underappreciation?
If you have played within the last three days, please post.
-
I have, but I've been doing school work and messing with the wiki more.
-
It isn't the most booming TC at the moment. I mean, in big-hit FPS standards.
However, there is almost always someone playing. You just need to catch a wave, as it were. There tend to be busier hours.
I was playing last night.
Beta 3 is on the way this year. 352 days tops. ;)
When it happens, things will pick up like never before. Help spread the word!
(Seriously, I'm wondering what the initial reaction of people is going to be when they finally read "BETA 3 is out".
...How am I going to react?)
Heh, 123rd post for me.
-
You can usually find 10-12 people on a server around 6-8 EST (That's also when I usually play)
-
There will be a big surge of people playing, and we intend on doing alot of PR, and Media before our upcoming release, and continuing after with more exposure, more media, and of course continuous patches to BETA 3 will come with future progress. This will all help grow our community base, and most importantly our user base playing.
-
I just played tonight, well not with you guys but tested beta3 tonight with people. Was rather fun but like sean said look for media release and stuff then you will know a slight idea of what we are so excited to be releasing for you all.
-
I was playing Beta1.1 and Beta3 today, both had 10ish people on at anytime I looked.
-
I'll certainly be spreading the word. In my forum for my extremely bad until I get a scanner comic strip, I'll have a news thing for it, as well as mouth to mouth to friends.
-
I haven't play since november 2008 as I am waiting for beta 3. It's only a question of months... ::)
-
< 351 days.
-
I know there are around 10ish people but that doesn't feel like enough (for me). I'm not expecting Counter-Strike levels of players but with the amount of people on these forums, I'm expecting 20-30ish people because those 10ish people tend to hang around in a single server and most of the time, it's a high ping server (for me at least, I live in Canada). I suppose I could wait for Beta 3, provided I don't get sucked into my 360 that I'm getting.
Also, do you guys mind if I shamelessly promote this game every chance I get? I mean everywhere (forums, Facebook,Youtube, word of mouth,etc.). I want to get the word out, all I have to say is Goldeneye and everyone would freak out and flock.
Regardless, Thanks for the responses, just waiting out Beta 3 (after exams are over, school gets easy, too much free time).

Saw this thread and had to register. Been lurking for a long time now. 8)
I love this mod. I loved the original, and you guys pay it justice easily. Heck, you've IMPROVED the legend in multiplayer FPSs. Not many people can claim an achievement like that! Yet when I see this thread, and when I see the active number of players, I can't help but think GE:S isn't getting the attention it deserves. So I went round a few friends of mine, and got them to try it. They loved it too.
So then we introduced it to our gaming community, TDR. We really want to see this mod up there in the limelight. We BEGGED for, and we've been granted, a test server. If all goes well, we'll probably add several more to accomodate different game-modes.
On check we've got 400 active members, and Goldeneye Source just became the #1 thing around on the forum board. 20 people installed and began playing just last night alone. No complaints, only sheer lulz. ^_^ Hey, we get a good mod to play so you guys should get more players. Win/Win.
We aim to try and populate servers whenever possible by any means, so essentially, you'll now have an extra 15 players at any one time playing GE:S, at least once we've got it properly set up. Multiply that if we get 2-3 more servers. ;)

I really liked your server, had good ping all down the player list.
BUT NEXT TIME GET RCON!!! lol
With a little more server tweaks your server could be one of the best... as long as you get the damn RCON! (or install Mani-Mod, so you can Rcon through Mani ;)
Ever need any help ingame name is "MaJoR", or hit me up on Steam, or PM here.
Good to see more players!
-
Ha ha, we've already got it! Though the higher-ups ain't giving anyone else admin access just yet, they wanna toy with it themselves and hog all the fun. Once they're done, they'll decide on other admins, meaning people can ask for gamemode switches, paintball on or off etc etc.
And glad you liked it. ;)

So then we introduced it to our gaming community, TDR.
Just be careful and remind your boys to not joke about dead people... Good to see more players, hope you guys will stick around until ges 3 is out :)

We've already dealt with them. Just a while after you left, they tried to bring it up again, and a higher-up present then quickly enforced the fact that it was completely insensitive, distasteful and not appropriate on the server. We tolerate "drunkeness", and tolerate minor offences, but we draw the line when it comes to clearly unacceptable matters such as that.
We don't mind people having fun. But we're very strict on rules too. We want to provide the mod with an extra mature, friendly player base and we intend to do whatever it takes to do that.

Beta 3 will definitely hit the LAN gaming community hard. It is completely focused around team based and round based gameplay while also promoting individual players to play hard and get better through awards and achievements.
As you can tell I am extremely excited. If you can get 400 people to like Beta 1.1~ you can easily get 4000 people to love Beta 3. Welcome to the revolution, where indie mod teams surpass major production studios with ease

A few friends of mine and I play relatively frequently. We're going to look into having a server once Beta 3's released and see where it goes from there.

Ha ha, believe it or not, hearing that Beta 3 would induce competitive and team-based gameplays, whilst revolving around the legend that is Goldeneye, is exactly what's persuaded us to come and hop on your bandwagon. We only go for the team-based games, and the small glints of Beta 3 that I've come across throughout the forum board look oh, so promising.
Just wait till VALVe looks at you and goes "Yeah, we need to hire them all." ;)

Pfft, did you see the people they got to test Left 4 Dead? Did you see the number of bugs and glitches that were released because their testers sucked?
You're in there, laddy. Get in.

Well, I'll try and leave a listen server up as long as possible, but it's terrible compared to a dedicated server due to the fact that I can't really edit anything unless I use the console and I don't know a lot of commands(I'm not blaming anyone, I know Beta 3 will add listen server options). Anyways, I'll keep spreading the word

Quoted for great justice.

Listen Servers are broked by OB SDK... for some reason it refuses to exit from sv_lan no matter how hard you try...

monkey you just have to change map and sv_listen will change

Joking about passed loved ones? Or a Heath Ledger joke. If it's the latter, get a sense of humor you fucking pussies, jeez. I'm one of the most patriotic people you know, and I still chuckled at my father's "two biggest birthday candles I ever had" joke. (His birthday is 9/11.)

It was an insensitive comment about GE:S' most loved, Nickster. I too can have a laugh at things such as what you suggest, but when it comes to someone who people actually knew and can relate to, and people take offense to it, a line must and has been drawn.
Anyways, enough about that, it's taken care of. We need more servers! More players! More GE:S legendary fun!

Oh, wow, that is really fucked up then :( sorry i'll drop the subject
-

Yeah, sorry about that. But I really enjoy this mod, especially now that I have edited the gun sounds to sound like the original goldeneye 64 sounds. :)
-
just got done playing. dl today not finished but already like more than any other online fps.
keep up the good work
-
Yeah, I played a few hours ago. I completely sucked on the Cradle, but did well in Facility. Can't wait for Beta 3! Also.. can't wait for rockets and grenade launchers ;)
-
can't wait for rockets and grenade launchers ;)
Unfortunately, both for you guys and for myself [as they are my favorite weapons], Rockets and Grenade Launchers won't be in BETA 3, both for production reasons as well as gameplay balancing issues.

Too bad, I loved the Grenade Launcher, but given the quality of the work you have done so far for Beta 3 (it must have taken a LOT of work, in my humble opinion), I don't mind waiting more time, if that's what it takes to make it perfect.
Perfect; we can see from the feedback the devs give us (with the media releases and others things) that there is a lot of work and perfectionism behind this mod. In fact, I think there is more than in some commercial games, and that should be taken in account. And it's not only the maps being well made, the models well made, the sounds well engineered, its also, as killermonkey said (I think is was him) about the fun factor, and this mod has a lot, even in the buggy Beta 1.1.
I'm sorry if I veered off-topic, but though of saying this here, now that I was writing.

For the past week, I've been playing pretty much every night. A few buddies and I myself are working on a dedicated server, and we have one already up. I know that at least one of you know about the TLP server.
