    Well honestly I think I am just feeling more cautious of how they could mess up a winning formula than worrying about how it could be improved. I don't like DTB for example as it wasn't done right in my opinion and makes it harder to find FFA and TP games.

    Vicky box is a veteran from the time we didn't know about 2ch and their excellent players. He is very good, but we never met him in a forum. Then I didn't see him for at least two month. So he is back. enjoy... :)

    Yes something is very strange about the room management.
    I create a room, he is filled immediately... If I shoot the players too fast and too often they leave. No new players are coming in. Why? I leave when 3 players are left. And then the room is not visible at the room list, when I check right after I left it. Why? This makes it very difficult to meet friends in a room, because some rooms disappear from the list and you can't create the same one. There is a message which tells you, that the name is already used. But where is the room gone? It can't be full, because he was nearly empty. In early SoG days we had rooms which lasted for weeks... this was fun, because the good players did meet there.

    I wish they would fix that. Have you tried the new update? If so notice anything different? Did it fix the app crashes?

    Somebody asked that same question you did earlier on their facebook page. They replied to his question after you asked yours.


    Skies of Glory Hi Nick,
    Rooms are updated as necessary. Constant updating puts additional stress on the game client and servers - it is currently functioning as designed.

    I finished a frag limit game and everything was fine. Frag limit games are hit or miss for me so I don't know if that means things are fixed. Reaching a time limit always causes a crash for me but I haven't played in a time limit game since the update.

    Yes I read it. But after I posted my remark on FB too. So I had to write a comment to say sorry and to say that we don't like it as it is now. ;)

    This quick rooms got no soul:cool:

    Maybe SGN should stress the guy who writes the software, so maybe the servers don't get stressed by doing what the customers like them to do. ;)

    I did update to 2.1.1

    Nice smooth and fast. The first game was very nice. I killed like keebler. The second one was ok, but I had DDF in a room in his zero and he was very hard to kill with the mustangII. And he was hopping. He suddenly beamed to another place while I was shooting at him. Maybe a connection problem on his side.:confused:

    Yes GN-0000, that was me in the woodpecker. GG! Wow! :D

    I suppose I should just take all the names out of my signature, except for [SAB]Handy. Now that I think about it I rarely see any SAB's using the tag on a regular basis. Except maybe for Shern and Orion...

    Cool, I can't wait to try it out then... that would be a big improvement if it no longer crashes and runs smoother.

    Good for you man! It wasn't like this before... don't know whats changed for them to make it this way now. Thanks for being insistent, I don't think anybody likes it now. It really does get ridiculous sometimes. Sometimes all I see are DTB games and no matter how much I hit refresh it just keeps showing those DTB games. I have found that I have to enter one of those games, get a quick kill, then exit and as if by magic all these other TP and FFA games appear. It's getting annoying as hell.

    I don't bother about joining rooms. Most of them are either DTB or low limits in flag or time. Most of the time I create rooms and always without fail rooms will be filled up less than 10-20 sec. And when I entered the room i just created, they are already 4 players inside. I wonder how they entered before I do.

    I wondered if it was somehow about Mike Shanahan! There are so few of 'em. I'm a 49er fan. He did us well back in the early Nineties as an Offensive Coordinator (I never found him offensive, but hey). I liked him. Then I liked Mike Holmgren as our OC... and since then it's gone down hill majorly. (or was Holmgren before Shanahan for us? I forgot, and it doesn't matter!)

    Good luck with Mike!

    According to my intel department, Sola played this game 3-4 hrs per day. He still has his day job. He normally will start playing from 8pm to 1am. He would normally achieve 500 kills per day. His 1000 kills is done in weekends when he probably played 5-6 hrs in weekends. :D
