Bonjour à tous ! Les choses évoluent très vite dans le monde de ROF et l'apparition de nouveaux gameplays attire de nouveaux joueurs . C'est evidemment une bonne chose pour NEOQB et pour l'avenir de ROF . Cela étant dit , je ne suis pas pour le mélange des genres et mon plus grand souhait est de conserver un serveur dédié au coop . J'ai sans doute du mal à vivre avec mon temps ! Mais je vote pour le coop .

I voted for both co-op and TDM based missions.
I don't think co-op is dead or will die as evidenced by the IL2 community.
People may eventually become bored with TDM unless it involves some strategy, which is what we would want to do in our missions I suppose.
It is too bad we can not run "mix and match" TDM/Co-Op on the same server, that would solve a lot of problems.
I am all for having two servers running on ToW but it seems our CPU could not handle it from what I have heard.
If we go TDM we would want to have missions interesting and fun enough to attract players to the site, otherwise we will be just another server, losing the uniqueness that has currently attracted players to ToW.

I guess I asked since the server is in an awkward state at the moment. As much as I would like to run both, lag seems to get a lot worse since the DServer is such a pig. If the server was a quad core, I think we could handle it but not at the moment.
The thing is, there are people that still play on ToW. Last night was a great example when we were 16 people on ToW and every other public server empty. As much as I like certain aspects of Coop mode, I think the main reason is because of Fuby's missions.
So if we go to dogfight mode, we are pretty much scraping our nice line up of 17 missions, and being like 10 other servers already out there (most empty). I know Squirrel is trying hard to make missions, but I would hate to dump what we currently have for a couple missions that aren't quite finished. If anyone wants to help out in anyway, it's appreciated. I know I keep saying I'll try to learn the mission editor. Hopefully I'll mean it this time.
For now I think it's best to leave the server in coop for now, till we get some more experience and missions with dogfight mode. Not saying to leave it that way for good, just a little longer. For now I can't see why we can test DF missions out running from our own computer. I know I've hosted 10 people where people said there was no lag. And I'm happy to host for testing missions.
I still would like to keep the same sort of theme we have on ToW now even in dogfight mode. Just missions that aren't really complex (like some of the on-going wars). Just missions that people can know what to do their first time, and aren't too long. I think it would be nice to have a mix of different types of missions that switch every 15-30 min.

I agree with you totally, mols.
I'd like to change my vote. After flying TDM and CTF for the last month, Co-op mode is vastly superior in the way of fun. Better dogfights, better team work, better objectives, with great stuff like trains and boats and bridges...
The majority of missions that are running now are not fun.
I'd like to see ToW return to it's Co-op missions, perhaps with a few of the new missions that smokin and squirrel made. Is that possible, or is co-op never to be seen again?

I like coop as well, but I think most prefer TDM. I kind of miss taking a break watching people when I die. Plus you're right, I think people do fly much differently in coop and the missions are far more controlled.
Seems like the consensus is to have TDM missions, with coop objectives/gamestyle. Just that it's a lot of work to get there. I know Squirrel is trying hard..

I enjoyed watching people fly after I lost my plane, and I learned quite a bit from it.
Right now no one is running a co-op server. ToW was the best!
Perhaps ToW could run its old co-op missions and rotation, while other TDM missions with co-op style objectives are being worked on...?
I know I'd sit in ToW for a while when I get home from work, and try to get a few people to join (I get home at 4pm, which is 10pm EST).

Mols and Darling are in control.. they decide what "ToW" runs on the server. If they want it.. they get it.
We both want what the majority want. The problem was mainly not having the custom mission line up to do so. ToW did very well with Fuby's coop missions, there was around 20!
The server has been running TDM for a week now. We have around 6 missions in rotation thanks to Squirrel, Smoking Hole, and Chill.
We were talking about putting coop back on now and then, but we are on our way for a great TDM server! Great to see!

I voted Coop Missions ... yet don't throw the dog-fights away.
