  1. Cisco is the industry standard for 5+ wired connection. I have tested several switches and routers in the past and Ubiquiti comes close to second having the best throughput, first being Cisco. With that said, Cisco is expensive and they never release new firmware.

     

    Ubiquiti is a great alternative for switches and router for having a great industry standard UI plus a compelling price. Even their home products have industry networking feature (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1EA0TX6677)

     

    With the faster internet we want to go from the modem, to a router (I guess it's required), then to a 15 port switch

     

    Can't you connect the switch directly to the modem instead of the router. Using your setup, if one of your computer from the switch is communicating with a computer like a printer or shared drive connecting to the router or one of the computer connecting to the router uses the internet bandwidth heavily, you will be throttling the bandwidth. In addition, home router is not built for 5+ connection. Router is not a 1 to 1 throughput so there will be an additional delay. And no, router is not required for switch setup.

  2. Just throwing out there but is it possible to say dangerous witch applies to the first say 3 witches then purchasing again will add another 3 to it.

     

    I don't like the 2nd as we will see survivor staying in one spot before moving forward often

  3.  

    Come to think of it, are we all here underestimating how useful propane/air can be? Those are NEVER EVER bought before.

     

    exactly, propane tanks are so under rated.

     

     

    Same with air tank. If one can kills jaws, it should be able to kill a tank easily.

     

     

  4. Isn't there a mod to prevent people from a complete rush job? Other community servers are using it. I don't really see people rushing right out of the gate very often, it's more of a middle/last ditch effort when half the team is dead or will be dead soon enough and you are going for points (since versus is all about points). I think the only ones who should be kicked for rushing are the guys who do it right out of the safe room all the way to the end without any regard for team play.

    Hi, although this server do not allow rushing, we do, however, allows say if majority of people went down and a tank, then in this situation, rushing is allowed if they are main.

  5. I favor upgrading hordes to fire-proof over limiting the amount of fireworks. Some people always spam firework so it will hurt the team if one do it unless you can set the limit for each survivor instead.

  6. I going to go out of my way and say this game is the most grossest, sexual, funniest game I have ever played. I won't spoil it, but there are parts where I have to pause the game for a good 5 minute for laughing so hard.

  7. I have played for 3 hours so far, but I highly recommend this game if you have watch South Park before or enjoy comedy genre game.

     

    The gameplay is turn based rpg with some mini games outside of battle. If you like South Park, you will notice a lot of easter egg from the show.

     

    I wish this game has coop though

  8.  

    I want a new option for the infected where it announce a fake message about a player buying a tank.

    That would actually be pretty funny.

     

    I like it.

     

    Anyway, the weather purchase is a cool add-on. Since many people have played the maps so much, it makes it challenging if survivors can't tell where to go.

  9. hahaha. l4d3 is no more.

     

    they are now focusing on new game called "Evolve" :happy:

    L4D2 was not made by Turtle Rock but Valve. They were only in charge of the dlc. Also, i think left 4 Dead franchise is sold to valve so l4d3 will most likely be develop by them

  10.  

    unless you are trying to bulletproof your build for future upgrades (which has never really worked for me since the PC market changes so quickly)

     

    Agreed. My suggestion is get a great cpu and mobo, thus you won't have to upgrade them in the future. With every new generation of CPU, there are a high possibility that the newer cpu will not be compatible with your mobo. The socket always changes and even if not, the chipset might not be compatible with the newer cpu.

  11. Suggestion

     

    mobo: ASUS brand

    >chipset: if Intel, go for X79 for LGA 2011 or Z87 for LGA 1150

     

    cpu: if intel, go for LGA 2011 or LGA 1150. Based on statistic on Intel marketing, LGA 1155 will be discontinued next year, LGA 1150 will be discontinued 2016, and LGA 2011 will be discontinued by 2018. Use this as a guideline so you know if you cpu will be discontinue soon

     

    AMD is cheaper, but not as good of a performance than Intel. Intel is built for everything. I don't use AMD cpu so I can't give you suggestion on that

     

    cpu cooler: If intel, go aftermarket cpu cooler like Corsair H60 (cheap and great performace) or Hyper 212 plus is great since Intel cpu (i5 or i7) tends to get hot really quick

     

    ram: Corsair DDR3 8GB should be enough for gaming. If you use virtual machine like VMware, go for 16GB.

     

    Video card: Market price always changes, but for now, I say go for Nvidia card. AMD is very good, but due to bitcoin, everyone is buying AMD card for bitcoin mining, so price has jump super high. For example, I bought Asus R9 280X card for $309 USD when it was new and it has jumped to $600 USD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121803).

     

    Use this link as reference: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html

     

    SSD: If you want, 120GB Intel, Samsung, or Corsair should be enough for OS and any other software. Games will need to be installed on a secondary drive

     

    > Intel - Most reliable

    >Samsung - Fastest

    >Corsair - great, not best

     

    Optical drive: If you don't mind, I say get blu-ray since it is a matter of time before all media will be released on blu-ray. However, dvd is always good.

     

    Chassis: mid-tower or full-tower, but note cpu cooler like Hyper 212 Plus might not fit in a mid-tower chassis

  12. I just told you where I've been Turbo - staying away! It's true what you say though - why in the world would anyone listen to you? ;)

     

    Anyways, proto, my issues probably went back to well before you were an admin, and you shouldn't feel like I meant my last post to disrespect you in any way. Considering Turbo actually vouched for admins (wat) perhaps I'll come back and give L4D2 another shot here soon.

    No, I am not saying you are disrespecting me or anyone, but more like I want to assure you that stuffs like these shouldn't happen and no one should feel intimidated by it.

  13. San,

     

    Your 300 day extended decay is not working. I just login for the 1st in a week and my base disappeared, so they spawned me in mid-air and I fell to my death.

     

    It is funny, because I built a wood shelter for over 2 weeks and it stills hasn't despawn yet.

  14. Hi Leone,

     

    Even though I haven't been an admin long, I often keep an open mind to everything. I don't side with any admin if he/she is wrong. If they did something wrong, then they are obligated to apologize. An admin is not about dictating policies, but rather keep the server balance.

     

    I didn't become an admin because of power or anything, but rather want to keep the community balance so everyone can enjoy it. Jackie has made a rough detail guideline for us admins to follow.

     

    If you feel any admin has overuse their power, please pm to Jackie or san'.
