I'm off on Fridays for a while, so should be able to make future Thursday evenings!
I now also have L4D 2!
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Caradir on October 07, 2010, 03:05:23 PM
Assume we are all on tonight for L4D2?

Post by: Goatboy on October 07, 2010, 08:17:54 PM
I thought Sacrifice was alright. The actual level can't compete with the trailer though. Maybe that was just too good to live up to?

I enjoyed punching Hunters in the face since reading you could actually do it. And killing zombies on the ladder. That was just silly.
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Mangala on October 08, 2010, 06:18:42 AM
Yeah it was a good night when we eventually got it going - go go fucked up servers.
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Warcold on October 08, 2010, 07:07:58 AM
Did you eventually get the level done (without me screwing things up)?
It was way past my usual workday-bedtime already, so...

Anyway... Had fun!  :)

I'd still be up for something, maybe we can get some other guys into the mix again? Gunnarr? Beth? Others?
Or come up with something that's fun with 2? LOTRO F2P?
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Mangala on October 14, 2010, 04:37:28 PM
Lotro still isnt F2p is it?  (although that dont bother my lifetime i suppose).

I'll be in around 7ish so I'll jump on voice and we can work something out.
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?

nope, tested it just now, LOTRO is a no go
see you in TS anyhow

*nuked*

This morning I realised that a shitload of zombie gloom and doom might not be the best thing for me right now. Will catch up on regular zombie killing when things settle down. May join in depending on how things go today.

So melee was the way to go? Nice achievement - troubled it was  ;)

Post by: Goatboy on October 22, 2010, 05:09:54 AM
Make a train with the first guy flailing a melee weapon and every other guy after that covering the guy before him with a gun, cleaning up the stragglers. It was a relative breeze compared to the shitstorm that hit us on the bridge multiple times before.

At my 'rents on my lil laptop - came for dinner and got "just take a look at this computer".   ::)

I shouldve known given some of the conversations ive had this week...

Annoyed too, as Ive been looking at the achies for Lfd2 and i wants em, precious, i wants em. Probably means an upgrade to a better laptop for such situations. i can run steam, but not most of the "good" games. Can run eve and wow and even lotro if I stay away from dx10 shininess, but not much else.
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Goatboy on October 28, 2010, 08:02:03 PM
Sorry guys, was in town. I was really late from work and the gf had a rough day and I took her out for dinner. Mailed Jon via mobile interwebs, but if he wasn't there either, that wasn't much help. Sorry for not being able to post anything!
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Mangala on November 02, 2010, 02:38:12 PM
Guys guys!

Lotro instead of steam this week?

While we may not have chars at same brackets or anything, we could shoot the shit on voice and just tumble around middle earth together?
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?

Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?

Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Mangala on November 03, 2010, 10:10:45 PM
As i said elsewhere, even if we dont do stuff together due to randomage of levels (and im sure the f2p guys dont have slots for a new char?), just shooting shit ingame and on voice together can work - and listening to saf bitch about f2p!

Im most likely gonna be on mangala though, nice and low there :)
(Cant remember the pass's for the 2 F2p accounts I have, so mangala is my lowest)

(And given RK is the only class i dont have and dont intend to have, theres not much let for me to start with.)
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Warcold on November 03, 2010, 10:28:34 PM
I'd like doing stuff together, and some of my chars being near mangs lvl, this might work.
Will see if this works out for all of us though.

Beer is nasty juice.

Drink beer while gaming. In fact, let's all get hosed both irl and ingame and see how that goes. Every time we kill a monster we need to knock back a shot of hard liquor.

Unable to make it at all.  Internet speeds went to shit about 4.30 for me and have been getting worse since.

I had no torrents open at the time, steam wasnt downloading anything (I turn off downloads when I on the machine as steam can and does rape my connection if I dont) so stuff is just messy.  Annoyed too as I really was looking forward to achies - still a few campaigns on LFd2 we havent done with each other iirc - also theres a free zombie game kicking about, I'll get info (uses the source/hl2 engine) that I wanted to look at.

Its hassle for anything - took 5mins for the forum to load as it was (and I had to update the forum on shitty latency too).

Edit: Found free zombie game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/17500/ (needs a source engine game to run).

It's just stupid that games that you have to play through Steam still require you to forward ports etc. (which makes my internet go SQUISH)

What I was thinking though, can't you pull the same trick as with GreedCorp (invite me through steam to join the game?). Cant think of any other way atm  :-[

So I figured it may be the name I'm giving to the 'application' I forward the ports for, so I changed the ports for one of the pre-existing applications that are preset in my router and assigned that to my computer and stuff is still working......  ???
All that's left to do is test if ETW will run now...

Update:

Gave my ISP a call and after initial raised eyebrows at my problem (modem/router disconnects to anything when I turn on uPnP) they suspected a faulty modem (according to forums the whole modem in general is faulty, but anyway...) and they will send me a new (different brand/model) modem, so yay... (anyway, hope I will finally be able to play games like ETW in MP with that one)

(Did you notice that I use ('s and )'s a lot (brackets they're called, right?)?)
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Mangala on January 14, 2011, 05:48:14 PM
Yes its brackets.

Fingers crossed the new one works out better - we shall have to test it :)

Thumbs up for my ISP for their fast service. Called them yesterday, new modem was in today! Because I was out drinking all day installation has to wait till tomorrow, but wow... they're fast!

Anyone got any clue?


(http://handsofjustice.co.uk/forum/gallery/18_16_01_11_1_05_55.jpg)



Above is the client log, which I think tells me that the IP 192.168.2.1 is assigned to my computer.
Below is how I set the ports. My noob mind tells me this should work, but when I test it, it appears it doesnt work.
Am I wrong or am I fucked? (reading the forums, my ISP sucks for portforwarding as they screw over the modems they send to their clients)
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Mangala on January 16, 2011, 12:33:10 PM
That looks to be correct - its how I do on my router (not a modem, but works the same as far as portforwarding goes) pretty much.

http://portforward.com/ (http://portforward.com/)

invaluable site, select router brand and model, select game snd it will give step by step instructions on how to set proper ports etc.
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Warcold on January 16, 2011, 05:23:19 PM
Yeah I know. Unfortunately the modem/router brand is not in there.
To make things worse, the model seems to be a one off - ready made for my ISP, as the only references I see to it are on sites where ppl complain about the crappy portforwarding support by my ISP.
Brand: Arcadyan (http://www.arcadyan.com/english/products/product_index.asp?PROD_L1ID=00000001)
Model: 7519 (notice how you won't even find it on Arcadyan's website - the one that comes close to it in looks is the 7510)

Thanks for thinking with me though! :)

Another plan of action is to mail/phone Arcadyan directly. Maybe they are more forthcoming with port forwarding support (as my ISP 'officially doesnt support it'  ::))
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Mangala on January 16, 2011, 06:46:01 PM
Your ISP needs stringing up, using a bespoke peice of tech and then locking it in like this...

Most of the ISP's over here that provide tech usually provide something standard at retail or at least tech you can get to do what you need it too.

also, we could try if we get NWN working in MP? or mebbe wednesday Jon? -> not play game seriously (yet), but just try if it works?
if you folks would be interested in that at some point? it's a rift surrogate for me really, but for me the issue of free gameplay is ruling atm.
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Caradir on March 28, 2011, 11:49:34 PM
used to play MP in NWN a lot,


only tried the original campaign in NWN2 ( i have owned it a while but bought it on steam at cheapo price for addons) and its not really MP friendly (pretty much like the campaigns in 1) not sure about the addons though. Id deffo be up for it as im a D&D geek ;)
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Warcold on March 29, 2011, 05:08:57 AM
also did NWN1 in MP a lot, but those were 'modded' servers that were 'permanent' (dont remember right expression for it), no clue if such servers are accessible through steam, but im sure such servers are around, given the community that existed back then

just checked and there are a few dozen persistent worlds around.
oddly enough, lots of them are french, but there are others around. now to find a cool one.

Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Mangala on March 30, 2011, 02:34:22 PM
All downloaded.

Seems someone can host games and stuff, so we can try the campaigns maybe in co-op. Im very rusty at NWN so persistent servers would be a bit beyond me.

Obviously if connecting becomes an issue then persistent world it is.
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?

I've set up a game, just for testing.

Gamemode: Story
Servername: HoJ
pw: wibbit

I'll be afk off and on for a few hours, but available (and on TS) more reliably starting 1900 your time or so.
Will leave game running till then. If you got time to test, see if/what troubles you run into.

In the meantime I have set up another game and put hamachi on, to try if we can go through LAN?

However, I am not sure if I set the game up correctly for LAN play. I unticked the box 'post to the internet', but that could just be for direct connect. But didnt see any other option for LAN?
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?

looks pretty ok so far
although xp and gold goes way fast, which is meh, the monsters are pretty tough (for solo rogue anyway) so lvls and magic items are welcome

No, cos I still need to finish the DL on that (4gb left) and as Im capped Im screwed coming and going till around 10pm my time, if not later.

And given my shitty capped shit, I cant host anything either. So any game requiring the that is out unless others do. And then I'll lag as Im not stopping these downloads now, Im not having them interfere with spaceships time.

borderlands tomorrow?

Will you guys have to start over if I join, or do I get bumped in stats etc or something?

This isnt a guarantee I'll be there on time - football at the pub tomorrow arvo - but I'll get on as soon as I can etc.

(kinda looking forward to a 3some ;D)

no bump so best if we start over.

FYI connection probs seem to be caused by not havuing a character ready so get through intro and move to 1st save point (thing that lets you change colour and name) and its all good.

I was thinking about that tbh, I am not a fan of voice activation, but needs must and I can always switch mike off (tiny switch on headset) in between :)

I'm still preparing food before I get to the cooking stage. 

But mainly because what I am having will take a couple of hours to cook - in time for some friends to show up for a very late dinner :) (Doing a casserole before you ask).

If poss, could we do this Tuesday this week?

I know its short notice for us all, but my connection isnt that stable at mo.  Ive reset router a few times, hard booted modem. EVE/torrents/chrome/ff all running slow (which is costing me ships). And I'd like to keep trying fixes rather than dcing/lagging out while playing a shooter (worst environment for bad connection).

That and Im not even close to having started dinner yet...

Still crappy I am afraid.

Apparently a new modem has been sent out to me - despite me saying id go buy one (that way i can get good tech), but still waiting on it.

I can try and see how it goes though as its not me hosting is it?

So 6ish is okay for me - just if I drop or whatever dont worry :)

The pve game Borderlands, that game with fucking gamespy in it, like its the 90s all over again.

(We need a new game, seriously).

Dont get me wrong borderlands is good (to play with other people, not alone no never), but in the style of most pve that means moarhp=harder is getting a bit stale.

The best games are were other people are your opposition and involve lots of thinkythinky, but we either dont own the same ones or they dont work right in steam/with our various firewalls and internets.

Lol, whiney part - its a post by me its all whiney :)

As for starcraft, im not in the business of giving blizzard any more money.  So wont happen, and if memory serves SC isnt really about thinkythinky its about being faster than the other guy at rushing to x fotm tech and pwning.

I think im just generally done with the majority of games, just seems that everything is so samey as something thats gone before, no real thought goes into stuff now - maybe with the exception of games with a sandbox feel to them or indie productions.  Anything with "levels" and what not, just doesnt grab me the way those things used too.

You know what I enjoy most in games lately - apart from the odd fun fight in EVE when reds are not being fags and staying docked - is driving around in Burnout Paradise and doing stupid stunts, I can literally play that game for hours and giggle like a kid all the while.

Love you too :)

But yeah, burnout isnt the best game by far for thinky, but its the one holding my interest nearly as much as eve does - and despite hating on ccp alot, eve provides me with pvp, thinky and thinkypvp (in how to out fly/out fit the other guy).

730 - 830ish for me - and thats walking in, logging on, not having dinner first.

Tuesday got busier then planned.

Also - Alien Swarm or Zombies?  Im really not into  borderlands anymore (only play it cos you guys are, not cos I want too) - and my rig is still doing that stupid slowdown thing that causes you guys lag (despite being dust free now in all orificies) in that game too :(

So, ended up on Lotro on a level 22 Lm with Saffys 22 Hunter.  Burned to 24 on both doing quests and deeds and stuff.

I managed to not bitch about lotro too much, was a fun evening thats for sure. (Given Ive barely played it in months helped).

Will do again :)

its alright however i do own it just not on steam, being that i used to buy stardock games directly from them as they were good, but they sold out, and arent offering a way to transfer purchased content over to steam.

:(

Just said in shouts, howabout civ v? not sure how the mp in that works however (I know saf has it on his wishlist...)

quick check on forums seems most of the issues fixed, just need to play on lower settings to prevent turn lag if your system cant handle it

I do 'own' Civ V, just not on steam, and I don't have 'access' to all the patches, if you catch my meaning...
Might give it a try sometime?

id be fine with any of them, assuming my non steam Sins could work, and i do already own Arthur, others i would purchase


also tested civ V briefly and it has indeed had performance improvements, seems to be a lot better.

Post by: Caradir on April 04, 2012, 02:52:12 PM
i guess if it was sins id just buy that too, as iirc i didnt buy the diplomacy expac that is included as part of trinity
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?

I'd prefer to avoid anything zombie or scary.
Slower paced games are fine as long as we don't have to spend an eternity waiting for people to finish turns and it can be played within 2 - 3 hours max.

Not Steam, but still good: www.playcatan.com (http://www.playcatan.com),
Private multiplayer games possible for le free in le browser.

Sorry for slowing you down at the start. DD interface drives me nuts sometimes.
Felt it was a tad too easy overall? Or was that just me ignoring everything important and slashing through mobs.

Medium. But kiltwearer looked a bit overpowered compared to my higher lvl squire. Unless I suck at the game (realistic possibility).
We'll crank up the diff next time?

we is hard

so difficulty should reflect that. Barbarian is a bit more powerful being able to equip 2 weapons for stats and damage
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Goatboy on April 07, 2012, 09:12:32 AM
Barb from that night had a dps score on training dummy ranging from 1900 - 2400 at the end.
Meant for cutting through mobs. And that's it. No towers. No group auras or buffs. Just hack and slash.
So while he's strong in that area, that's quite literally al he's good for.

Overall the game seems very doable. I say crank it up a few notches. We'll find out soon enough if and when it gets too hard.

Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Mangala on July 03, 2012, 02:59:58 PM
I can make this if we start early and then leave early too - another training night on SISI for the AT.

(I was so close to being in the lineup for the first match this saturday gone, but couldnt get back to RvB space in time for CCP to move the pilots, so am trying extra hard to not fuck up this week!)
Title: Re: Thursday Steam night?
Post by: Goatboy on July 03, 2012, 03:06:30 PM
I shall strive to be there. Time?

Does L4D have friendly fire? If so, I'll happily make room for someone with better aim.

I'll try, but will happily make room for someone without a newborn and inevitable accomponying hiccups in playing time.

Was good. And no nightmares yet!

So new dlc is made up of community made campaign/maps and improved graphics? I find the info on cold stream a bit confusing. :(

I also have a feeling that I haven't played all official campaigns/maps by far.
