avf connections to gow ranked matches

kopchoir · 08-06-2007, 12:56 PM

hi guys as we all know we are having problems with finding matches i can very very rarely find eec`s games but find lees fine its all a mess but some of us can defo find some games, so i thought i would do just a little post to see who can find who.
So im going to post different posts of hosts and all you need to do is pop a thanks on the host you can join 9 times out of ten and lets see how we do everytime someone else hosts then post and see if others can find it think its a good idea
kop

anyone else that hosts put yourself up i cant thank my own posts so ill put a * on the ones i can join and lets see if we can fill a room good and proper

jason g · 08-06-2007, 1:47 PM

simple look on your name and the ones with thanks are from people who can get on your list.
ive put my thanks on lee's as i can get onto his room, but can only get into kops room 50-50 so im not putting it, and i havent tried to get onto the others yet.

so if u can get into codeheads room for example then put thanks on the post which his name is in bold letters mate.

Ive been thinking, surley if we preferred everyone on our friends list, that should improve our chances of meeting in ranked matches!! (as well as getting our rep % close to 100% again)

Good idea for a thread Kop, well done mate.

As things stand, AFC Lee is the Hosting King..what do I win???

You get to have your bandwidth quota battered by us.

Nice thread KOP, might have been better to let willing hosts post then do the thanks thing to tag 'em.

@ShuzzButt: Good plan, I used to do this but I've added a bunch of ppl recently who I've forgotten to 'prefer'.

Good idea mate but we did actually try this before and it made as much difference as using the hammer burst - in fact, there was a rumour it may make it worse. The line being that MS do not want friends / preferred players meeting up in ranked games but would use the preferred matching for player matches instead. Who know's - it's all bloody voodoo if you ask me.

jason g · 09-06-2007, 6:31 PM

ok ive added thanks to kop, and codeheads post as i can find both.

Zzebedee · 10-06-2007, 11:12 AM

i've found codeheads before with no problems.
Kop i found one game thn got disconnected and couldn't find his next one.
I jumped into one the other day that codehead sent me a message about (cheers mate

) they then decided to re-host straight after cos kop and codehead couldn't find it and i coldn't find the new one one

. Dunno who was the host of either of those (around midnight on friday night)

kopchoir · 12-06-2007, 12:40 PM

jason g · 30-06-2007, 2:41 AM

BENYAMEANO

got on bennys ranked games with dr.evilest.
found them easy.

Spinke · 30-06-2007, 9:25 AM

I'm happy to try hosting some again, got 1:1 ip mapping and all open ports (360 likes to call it open NAT) so it should be easily connectable.. just depends whether everyone else can find it

.

kopchoir · 01-07-2007, 10:32 AM

I'll give it a go, provided I can get my girlfriend off Carcassonne.

How do I go about finding the matches?

you tight sod that never happens in my house

Anodyne · 01-07-2007, 12:20 PM

She blames you lot for becoming a Gears widow.

Maybe we should set a WAGS match.

JusR23 · 27-07-2007, 4:19 PM

Thought i'd kind of resurect this thread as me, kop, mad, shuz, chuck and horatio (when the three scotsman rule wasn't coming into play) had some ranked fun last nite/this morning and must say it was a blast.
I was wondering if anyone would be up for this on a regular basis as the lads didn't have any problems finding the games I hosted (hope it weren't a fluke)

If so let me know as its nice to have some familiar voices on ranked games plus we can get closer to getting some of the ranked achievements

(or just add to chucks seriously tally either way someone gains

)

I`m up for that mate. Havent played ranked with many avfer`s, only splitter, beermonster, but I can usually see their games and they can usually see mine, so dont see it being an issue.

markwww673 · 27-07-2007, 5:15 PM

i'll give ranked a bash to

mark...

jason7579 · 27-07-2007, 5:49 PM

I have hardly any of the ranked achievements so I'd be up for some matches

EEC3 · 27-07-2007, 6:30 PM

I think it was the fact that we played execution - most people play warzone so there arent too manky games of exe floating around

Yeah good games lads
