TL;DR - reinstalled pc, eagle is active once again, can play halo or mc any given time when I'm not on my mtb or in the gym, yeah we will need hamachi too, my net forsaken me few times but it is working again properly, nice ping, etc, wait even tl;dr is too long, okay i will stop cya have a nice day
So I'm sure we are rather inactive nowadays (I will never consider ourselves as 'dead') we lost contact with several members, others quit or left, etc :c
But I don't want this to ever happen, and I'm sure all of you agree on this one.
A week ago I established my internet connection somehow, and it's rather long story, skip the italicized orange text if you don't want to hear it.
So, after passing final tests, etc, my usb stick just fckn died. Oh the reason for this is because I bought a tablet, and back in the days, when I had like 300 ping on lead servers, I used my nokia 5230 with a pc suite to get internet connection on my pc - it was rather laggy, bat stable and long-lasting.
The thing is, the download speed is terrible - I can't use Hac or anything to download custom maps automatically, but the ping is.. well for a limited time, solid as rock. On XG Gulch Snipers I managed to be 1st on a server after half year of inactivity, regardless being outnumbered, or my teammates being afk, nevertheless, we won these matches. Thanks to the ping, since few weeks ago I couldn't hit shit *ask pyro about my rant* All I did was get a tablet, put the sim card in (oh, it had to be cut down to a micro sim to fit insire) connect to pc with a micro usb cabel, enable tethering and voala, 80-120 ping, with 32kbit/s limited dl speed if I run out of data to use (8gb per month, quite large for my usage, yet mc server take like 100-200mb/day - oh 5mbit/s when not limited, perfect for halo)
The thing is, the usb stick still required a normal stick, so I had to buy a cheap transformator.. a card with the size of a normal sim, and the micro sim could be fit inside. It was nice and cool until one day it fucking ripped the bronze or idk what is was cables out. So after using the micro usb thingie few weeks after that, it stopped working (yesterday) and I could only charge my tablet if it was turned off.
Somehow it fucking fixed itself (the fuck is going on with everything i own) and here's the best part - I was using personal enb for my portable halo. After I visited Jimmy to get gtaIV, he told me he wants the DaftPunk#1 and #2 back on track - our "fun" characters for youtube videos, shit & giggles. So I searched for the 1.10 patch, got him the official copy, and it was working on the first try. Since I had my pendrives with me, I brought it back home, installed it, had to delete hac2 since mobile internet connection always aborts update somehow, copied custom UI in the maps folder so no more "checking for updates" bs, and it was working.
The best part, is, the fact that I can't aim was because of enb. I just can't find any intelligent answer to it.. had enb, hs wouldn't count, but when I shot someone on a nolead server 2 meters after them, it was a kill - something like blackbird's "reverse ping" video showed, but it was weirder.
So, got official copy with patch, ui everything, tablet fixed itself, I can finally play again even when my net is limited, and we got an mc server running most days. Everything I could ever ask beside that I want XG will be more active again. Yeah I know how it works, and can't blame anybody. I just wish :c
So, I'm finally active once again, (oh, also reinstalled my pc, win7masterrace) so I can finally reach the forums without mental breakdown yeah
I've got a minecraft server (we were testing with 1.5.2 with limited internet - turns out its laggy only when players are far away from me), got halo going, will download Star Conflict again (get ready pyro) thinking about Arma/DayZ, everything we can play together.
If we can round up like 10 active players, I will rent a minecraft server for a year, and we could start this god damned serie of ours. I know I won't get any replies soon, but every kind of feedback is appriciated guys
love you all
