::VTRX:: vs. 5th

**supercarl1** · 05-06-08, 03:15 PM

Well does anyone have the big question answered? Is the match this weekend (10th of May) and if so at what time (zone)?

**Phaedro** · 05-06-08, 09:55 PM

OK this is funny, but it's come to our attention that certainty about the start time is lacking. 8 pm CDT? or EDT?

**DJ Ms. White** · 05-07-08, 01:50 AM

CST I believe.

Here's hoping EA removes their collective heads from their collective asses here before Saturday. The disconnect issue here lately has been BAD. Last night I was disconnected twice and then the server crashed. Could make for an interesting dynamic...

Well, if it's going to be on the match server, will we actually have to worry about EA?

**Cebelius** · 05-07-08, 08:32 AM

Actually yes. We could get all kinds of trouble because all of our stats/weapons/ranks are stored on the EA Master, which the game references throughout. As long as we're online, the master server plays.

Hopefully the match server will be patched and ready to go. I know Commander and others have been working on getting this taken care of, but I haven't heard whether it is ready yet or not.

Cebelius nailed it. On the old match server we would run into the same type of problems you get on the main servers.

Well, as long as people come back we should be fine

dropping 4-8 people in a match this small could have a serious affect on the turn out of the match...well short of everyone grinding to a halt when groups of people get dropped. If a whole squad assigned to guard a flag gets dropped and leaves that flag open for the enemy it will be bad.
