Finally! It appeared that Flag Ship Studios did take up my advise and opened a suggestions forum, time to bombard that area with my suggestions. ^_^

Original Link here.

However, you can only access the forum if you have an account there. So far, only beta testers and US game box Hellgate : London retail purchasers have access to the official Flag Ship Studios – Hellgate : London Community Forum.

Just bloody incredible!

No point playing it again until they do the bloody server upgrade and database wipe.
Back to fraggin’ for XP in Enemy Territory : Quake Wars I guess.

On the other hand, I just installed Bid for Power 2.1 on my gaming rig. Perhaps I will try it out and post the results here.

Just tried out Bid for Power, graphics are too dated, can’t seem to load bots into the game. Failed to impress me, uninstall-ed and deleted.

A week had passed since the official world wide launch of Hellgate : London, an over hyped PC Game developed by Flagship Studios, founded by former executives of Blizzard North, a division of Blizzard Entertainment.

Given that ArenaNet was also founded by former employees of Blizzard, why don’t we compare the two offsprings and see who got the better genes –

Hellgate : London vs Guild Wars, let the showdown begin! == flash games download link, click here for flash games download links and screen shots ==

A really cool video of a GDF Hammer missile intercepted with a GDF Rocket Launcher!

Been playing Hellgate : London on IAHGames’s Alliance server since I got my copy on Thursday, 1 November 2007. So far the ping with the game server is okay, and the internet connection lag is almost non-existent, and hence acceptable for an adequate online gaming experience. Not acceptable part is that IAHGames have yet to email me my pre-order dye codes, and the server is running a non-retail beta patch, as all the players currently playing on IAHGAmes’s Hellgate : London Alliance Server has the beta caps and limitations of them. i.e. can only level up until Level 22 and in game procession until Act 3.

Well, I guess pre-Patch 0 might not be that bad. Played on the Alliance servers for like, say 2 hours plus already I guess. I lowered the settings somewhat, disabled Anti-Aliasing, Textures set to high, View Distance set to medium, Shaders set to high, Shadows set to high. Frame per second does seem to be better after I lowered the settings abit, just type “/fps” to check your frame rate.

The ping with IAHGames’ Alliance server is quite okay, from my 2 hours plus playing experience. Ping ranges from 60ms+, 90ms+, or 150ms+, sometimes even hitting 200ms+, 300ms+, but 300ms+ is quite rare and not much lag spike encountered so far. Except for a couple of “server time out errors”, that would result in me getting “kicked” out of the server. No big deal, I guess, just log back in and continue with the demon hunt!

I finally got it! Yay. Boo. The bloody mofos – IAHGames, they dare to release the game to the public without implementing the much required “Patch 0”! Just incredible! Wooh!

Still patching the bloody client…

Can’t believe that the SEA players are actually paying money up front to “beta test” the servers! I strongly believe that we are actually playing a beta build of the game.

31 October 2007

Morning – Woke up 7:00am, drank lots of water as usual, went to toilet to unload my morning crap as normal, daily morning routine. Finished crapping, turn off Bit Comet downloads, proceed to turn on Enemy Territory : Quake Wars to relieve my morning fraggin’ kicks. Then I realized that a new version was out, time to update! No fraggin’ this morning, boo hoo! >_<

Visit the Enemy Territory : Quake Wars Official Community Site for the official change log as well as a list of mirrors to download the huge 283MB patch. I am getting mine from fileplanet as usual, maybe I am just used to using it, after using it for all these years.

There is also a developer blog update posted a few days earlier, apparently on 25 October 2007. Guess I would known earlier if I frequented the official community site often, duh. >_<

Other than the above, I am ranked 7k~8k now! Wohoo! Let the fraggi’ continue!
