WTF, this turned out to be 1.1.5.

07-20-2007, 02:28 PM
OK, now I am pissed.
The file name said 1.7, but it was actually 1.1.5. Motherf***ers.
Now this is the right file.

On the dl as we speak!
Drayu
07-20-2007, 04:55 PM
okay, so....not such a fast download :( even the torrent looks like 5 hours :( only getting around 100k down.
Drayu
07-20-2007, 04:58 PM
My PR DL is MUCH faster! Just looksy :)

07-20-2007, 05:24 PM
well, I guess I will wait untill tomorrow to make sure I download the correct file (I'm a little bit drunk right now.)
Drayu, props for using uTorrent:tongue::bonk:

I am glad this is out again, its been the most enjoyable mod for myself for BF2.
Drayu
07-20-2007, 06:59 PM
another 1.5hr to go, going to watch a movie with the woman....should be on after that!
Drayu
07-20-2007, 06:59 PM
Oh yeah, I hope this release brings back the POE of when WiH just started...those were good times! loved the BFV engine for POE :(

you guys let me know when you see servers, i cant find any.
1 hr at 600KB/s down...see you on the battlefield soon.
Drayu
07-20-2007, 11:16 PM
was fun guys, thanks. My computer froze up on the loading of olesko keep, so I just restarted and then shut down for the night.
Tykwer
07-21-2007, 02:02 AM
i enjoyed it, but it's a shame there isnt a WiH server where certain people are kept out. vbf2 server looks like it wants to play poe :dgrin:
Well I can't dl it from hypernia, the links are not up, and I tryed Gamershell, but will not fully dl. Can we get POE2 uploaded to WiH FTP?
Drayu
07-21-2007, 01:01 PM
get off of the torrent, it took me about 2 hours that way, but at least it had the checksum to ensure it wasn't corrupt when done.

07-21-2007, 02:41 PM
drunken poe night tonight? :beer:

I told him to just get it from FilePlanet but.. :slap: I wont get into why he wont DL from there. I think Kegg is afraid of downloading torrents. :hehehe:
My internet went down for most of the night. Sorry I missed the fun. Drunken POE sounds like a lot more fun though. :thumbsup:

just tell me when and where, I've had two beers already, a fresh one is in the fridge:D.

Errands are done. Too frickin hot to do yardwork, fresh beer in hand. where is everyone gonna be playing at?
Drayu
07-21-2007, 04:15 PM
I played for two hours today on TG, sucked b/c I kept getting TK'ed for the chooper and couldn't do anythign about it :(
Heatmiser
07-22-2007, 10:42 AM
I played a few hours over at TG too. The aircraft and chopper spawns were pretty well behaved. But then, it really takes only one smacker to get the ball rolling.
Admins might have been distracted by all the pretty toys... :D
Drayu
07-22-2007, 10:47 AM
yeah, the Euro copter was fun, didn't get to try the jets though :(
It is fun, but it still lacks that BFV atmosphere :( Not sure what it was, there was just something different in the atmosphere with BFV.
SnaKe
07-22-2007, 02:22 PM
As far as I can tell their are no changes to the jets.

team dissident server has been good. is american so low ping for me. the crimea map on 64 player is pretty kick ass.
LordBeer
07-22-2007, 05:49 PM
It's neat but did they change something on the tanks? I swear I got shot out of a perfect tank. Tank looked ok but I died from an AT rocket. :dunno:
Drayu
07-22-2007, 06:08 PM
yeah, same happened to me, I died, but the guy in the .50cal didn't. very weird.

i was gunning in an apc and 1 at rocket it us and killed us both without the apc blowing up. i've had it happen in pr too, though less often.

Alright.. Thanks for backing me up guys. I thought I might be loosing it there and couldnt figure out what I might of done wrong to have caused that. Got me a little grumpy to watch the guy drive off in my tank..
finally got it downloaded, and installed. looks pretty good.
However, I was killed in a tank by a littlebird (and not shot out)...something is wrong here.

nope, it's actually pretty easy to kill everything with the littlebird. the pilots have the guns (nice against infantry) but they also have a secondary weapon system (14 rockets, similar to the one of the hind). These can destroy tanks in no time.
The second person in the little bird can fire 40mm grenades which can also damage tanks.
Damnit, I love the littlebird......

It's bc the maps are so damn big in POE2. That's the problem I think.
Drayu
07-23-2007, 04:25 PM
too many flags. I really liked that one (we ran it 24/7 for awhile, but can't think of the name) with the two starting bases to the north and south and the one base in the middle in that canyon. Was fun :( OR the one that had a huge river down the middle with the two bridges and you started out up high on both sides.

i've had fun every time i've played so far. but if you guys think so, maybe there could be a wih 64 player on 32 player sized maps :thumbsup: :mgboxedin:

Hey now... It was one of the first IO maps. Lots of good inf fighting on that map.

Referring to the POE for BFV and the POE for BF2. The atmosphere in BFV was a lot different. Picture time :)
Drayu
07-24-2007, 07:13 PM
Notice the difference in atmosphere. Just something more appealing about BFV
POE (top) POE:2 (bottom)

Well is it me, or does anyone else like the atmosphere difference.
EdrrakNolat
07-25-2007, 08:52 AM
I agree with you, adding things like the fog, overcast sky, etc, def gave it a nicer feel. (Plus it kept snipers from picking you off from across the map)

i dled the game in 55 min the same day it came out. tried out and i need to play all the maps before deciding... so far i have played 4 maps liked 1. choppers are a lil too fast for me... plenty of bugs, like i got killed while driving a tank, and got killed by bullets. i know i guy who kinda made the game and tried out the maps like 3-4 months ago... so far the game did not grab my attention.
CHAOS
07-25-2007, 04:45 PM
The bullets killing tanks drivers as well as missles killing tank drivers yet leaving lightly damaged tanks is a bug and they are going to fix that..

I can't seem to get POE2 to work. I click on the POE2 icon and BF2 seems to start then the thing completely disappears and just never starts up. Any ideas on what my problem is?
Drayu
08-04-2007, 08:53 PM
yeah, bad shortcut it sounds like. are you using widescreen? if you are, make sure you copy the widescreen string from your BF2 shortcut and paste it to the end of the POE one.
Knottwobad
08-04-2007, 09:09 PM
Yeah never mind it was just taking a long time to load up. I just wasn't patient enough.

Direct Quote from DAARKEN over in the POE forums:
We are in testing stages of the hotfix.
http://www.pointofexistence.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15669&st=80&start=80
no change log as of yet.. i threw in some gripes about the HUDS being washed out in helos and AA when on the "brighter" maps (snow , bright overcast). that really throws you off when your reference points are gone..
I hope they make the HUDS darker on those map types..
I think the best reticle i had seen was in BF2:SF and the sniper had that nice red retical

What servers are you guys usually playing on? I finally got a seperate internet line for my home office, and i'm dying to shoot, er, play with some WiH folks
SnaKe
08-15-2007, 10:54 AM
We usually post in here when we're going to play. I would just keep an eye out here. I dont remember the servers we played on.

That is the MD5 check (I think that is what it is called), supposed to reduce hacks.
