RabX2 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I yet to get one but wanted to suggest something. Cod AW, like many other games does very little for party management. It finds games based on party host, it does not find games where it compromises based on party make up. I know the router gives me the option to change the Geo location. Which is great but its up to the user to be proactive and ask all members where they are and then change the Geo location to suit. Everyone with this router may not know they can do this. It might be great to have a party management menu. It could consist of an analyze button to gather data on all party members and make a Geo location filter radius suggestion based on the resulting data. This would improve quality for all in the party. A menu for this will also encourage people to do so as opposed to no menu and users not knowing they can do this. Plus you wouldn't have to quiz party member on their location to gather input for a better geo location search filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabX2 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Plus if you can effectively encourage people to compromise and manage party to better all peoples connection, that's a great word of mouth marketing tool. The guy with this routerbwont always be online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buds Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 As you say the router does this already. Once people are in the party they will show on the routers geo-filter without anyone having to ask where they are. The Router owner could then just set geo-filter to a 'middle' ground. So for example I own the router, and A, B, C are my party members. Once A,B,C come into my game / party chat they should start to show up as data traffic to me. So I am in UK, A is in France, B is in Germany, C is in Spain. This would all be visible and then I can choose whether I want to set search radius to cover the middle of us all.

RabX2 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yes this router can do that. Its great with party management. What im getting at is to promote that it does this, state that it does this, and add something to UI to encourage people to do so. I have been telling my friend about this router for a couple weeks now and yet to secure one. Turns out another friend of mine has one and didn't say anything. He is quiet and he only used it for playing solo. I host party much of the time. A couple nights ago he tells me he has the router. Im like dude, you need to host and manage this party with that router. He never pieced it together that he could do this and we were playing a weeks worth of games with one or the other in the party suffering to lag with out using the routers geo filter. Hes in california, my other friend is in virginia and me in texas. Before, im guessing the host was flip flopping around. Now he sets the filter to OK City area and everything is peachy. I think they need to make this ability to manage parties and mediate ping a stronger bullet point. Some people think that its only useful to your location.

Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Really good point mate! We should promote it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm really busy at the moment implementhing this new feature. Its really important I get it done then I'll start addressing the backlog. But the options for optimising party chat are: Polygons, so you can draw where you want to allow instead of a circle It auto calculates the best circle based on your friends food for though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacamaker Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 When working on this like he said with a friend I will soon have a few that are getting one cause of my nice words lol but is there way to work with it as say in party with friends that have router it tries to find happy medium between everyone and their location? Also on the geo filter part is that a way down the road instead of having a radius as a circle something that matches states or countries towns example I live in California and if I want to game strictly in my state only I can just filter my state? Also on on circles for telling who host and servers different colors just to tell the difference between listener/hybrid servers vs dedicated ones. Other thank keep of the great work guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Cheers peacamaker I think the optimum solution is polygons, so you draw on the map what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means you can have a bigger radius and capture the west coast without the search going too far inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
