The console version (at least for me) has had issues for me. I can't even play drop zone, I keep getting "Connection to EA Online has been lost" every time I attempt to search a match for drop zone. However walker assault works fine, I enjoy it a lot. The graphics are amazing, I actually felt like I was in the Battle for Hoth and the loadouts are pretty good. The main problem is the balance, I haven't played Sullust but Hoth Empire wins 99.9% of the time. Overall I think the game will be very good, it doesn't have the classic SWBF1/2 feeling but I find it to be a very nice reboot in the modern era of gaming.

I actually play this as well. It's a lot of fun. What's your name Babyeater? I'll add you.

If we don't have enough for each individual clan to participate, I say we just break up into two teams (YAK vs ELK) and try it that way. We could do random assignments to each team or elect team captains to do a draft of a pool of players who sign up. Just food for thought.

That's a interesting idea. I don't really know if we should continue the ICW name if we did that though. We will just just have to see when the time comes.

I do not think that many players will go and abandon swbf1 just for the reboot (personally, I wont) and im gonna keep hosting until there is nobody online in swbf1.

I know SWBF1 will have those dedicated players but I'm just not 100% sure if there would be enough for ICW6. If there is then that'd be great and I would definitely play! We will just have to see I suppose.

Quote from: BOB.LION on August 17, 2015, 03:07:47 PMNot waiting until ICW6 before i can revive it lol.

I doubt that will even happen with the new Battlefront coming out. However if SWBF1 still has a player base and Joseph wants to or gives me permission to run it again, I'd be down to do a ICW6 next year.


Also Anyder, he has a point. The steam group doesn't have to be strictly SWBF only. If that was the point of it then we might as well not even have it and stick with just swbfgamers.com

[FC] was able to capture 11/15 planets!

Most importantly, we had a lot of terrific battles, some of which rank among the best in ICW history.  I think that's something to be proud of!

Thanks to the following people for making it happen:

Joseph, Phobos, Dark_Phantom, Shazam , Kiwi , Kelle -- Admins
Phobos -- Map compilation/modding/US Server Provider
Led -- Running this website and giving us a place to host this tournament/EU Server Provider

Also a thanks to all of the clan representatives and participating players who were able to make this tournament happen! Without you all ICW5 would have never been able to take place!

The times are EST.

Now that I have returned from vacation, I can actually do things. Since it is such a big deal, I removed 212 from the attack post. My understanding it was a clan alliance.

AR the clan is not participating, just because one member is playing doesn't mean the clan should be listed. Since he is on their list he counts as a member and not a merc. When he does play he could use {AR}Spieler1_En'Ten but I'm not going to enforce it. He's on the list so it doesn't matter.

Quote from: Black Water on August 09, 2015, 09:13:20 PM
Will I have to be asking every week for 212 to be removed? @Bomber, este niño definitely doesn't want to start something

The reason I removed it before is because he added 212 to an attack against Alpha, since it's a attack on En'Ten I don't really see the problem since 212 is participating with En'Ten. I will however remove {AR} since that clan has said nothing about participating with En'Ten.

Make attacks here!

Battles should by default be scheduled for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. However, if both clans agree, and an admin can commit to coming, then it's OK to schedule earlier in the week. Attacks absolutely must be posted by Wednesday at midnight EST.

Of course, clans may only attack planets which are connected by a line (in the tournament map) to a planet they currently control.

Format your attacks thusly:

Attacking clan:
Defending clan:
Planet:
Date:
Time (EST):
Attacker era/side:
Server Location:

In the beginning, each clan may make 2 attacks per week. Because the tournament will have a shorter week-wise duration than previously, we may raise the limit to 3 if the first week(s) go well, if the community consents, and if we have enough admin support.

If a clan forfeits, their planets become native held, and attackers will face a team of "native". Anyone may show up as a native. However in this case the natives may be outnumbered by attackers. But there is a limit of 2 members per clan on the native side.

Clans can make planet announcements i.e. "call dibs" before officially listing times, as before.

I read this entire thing, it's a shame I couldn't handle this sooner. I'm currently at the beach so I'm limited at the moment. After seeing the screen shots I still don't see the problem why the match couldn't happen in their server. It looked like everyone got normal ping to me but it seems Led fixed the issue so thank you Led.

Quote from: DEAGLE on August 09, 2015, 10:25:52 AM
As seen in this screenshot, the server is dedicated, has a reasonable ping and people can join. Just because the IP is not saved in some IP tracker's database, doesn't mean it is bad or not rooted.

Hope the admins recognize this, because your claims of this server not being valid for this tournament are ridiculous.

From this screen shot I see no issues. Can you provide a in-game screen shot of players pings?

As I said before, all servers need to be dedicated not self-hosted. Meaning it needs to be hosted from a company VPS or root server. (Any company, any server location) Not from someones house who has good internet.

There are also people who own and run root-servers from their home, if that is the case for this situation I will allow it if the internet speed of the persons home is above 100+ mb/s download and 60+ mb/s upload, which is the standard of company VPS's/root-servers.


@Siggi

Can you give proof that is hosted from a root server? Also maybe a speed test result of the internet speed of the root server?

@Anyder can you provide screen shots of your ping in that server & one of your servers? Since their both located in Germany there should be very little difference.
