Maybe we should change the thread's name to "The Conduit Wi-Fi Meet Up Thread"

Yeah, I am going to be getting on soon. Probably about 10 minutes.

GK · « **Reply #127 on:** June 25, 2009, 09:55:40 PM »

Been on & off for a while now. Playing with my settings & testing them. The whole dizziness thing doesn't seem as bad on wi-fi.

kraken613 · « **Reply #128 on:** June 25, 2009, 11:35:23 PM »

Who is up for some online? I have a room open so please join!

EDIT: I'll keep the room for 10 more minutes if no one comes I will play single player.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #129 on:** June 25, 2009, 11:47:17 PM »

I won't be on tonight, but I'll be on over the weekend (possibly tomorrow night) for sure.

I gotta power through the single-player campaign.

Alrighty! We have to play L4D this weekend even if just for an hour!

I am off to single player too! Or maybe rank up in random matches.

That's right, you're reviewing it, yes? That means we get to help you review it because we played the multiplayer with you.

Let us know when you are online so we can continue to help you in your 'review' process

Also, if you are having WiiSpeak issues, Lindy, try playing the game on headphones. I found that a lot of the extra noise is canceled that way. It made it feel a little like podcasting actually. And if I felt I wasn't getting picked up properly by the mic I brought it close to me and at one point even stung the mic from my headphones so it was right on my face. Pretty crazy.

I would venture to guess that moving the mic away from the TV in general would fix the issues as opposed to headphones.

kraken613 · « **Reply #132 on:** June 26, 2009, 12:02:28 AM »

Yes everyone do what Stratos did! I played with him in that setup and it was clear and no feedback!

Stratos · « **Reply #133 on:** June 26, 2009, 12:06:39 AM »

Those Drudge charging guns are the worst culprits because they just cause static to flood the mics. And that is almost all that people use on that setup.

kraken613 · « **Reply #134 on:** June 26, 2009, 12:20:14 AM »

Lindys mic was by far the worst of them. It sounded like you had a party going on!

I think that was Maxi's. Or maybe both of theirs. I know Mrs Lindy was with Lindy. I also heard someone on Maxi's end shout out about his birthday.

kraken613 · « **Reply #136 on:** June 26, 2009, 12:36:38 AM »

Well my strength in multiplayer doesn't correlate to single player! I am doing awful!

I thought it was the echo of Lindy through Maxi, either way it was a mess....

I can hear you Stratos in a public game.... Sighing....

Yes that was my mom.

Yeah, I remember Statros coming in pretty clear when we played. I was already using wireless headphones but I may try moving the mic next time. Not sure how well I sounded though.

I had my mic sensitivity turned up to 6 at one point, turned it down to 4 when I saw constant noise being generated.

Having the sensitivity that high would do it.

And it is that charging Trust gun that makes the static, not the Drudge gun.

LOL, I didn't even know it was on at first. It only works between friends in public games. So you joined and the mic turned on.

kraken613 · « **Reply #141 on:** June 26, 2009, 04:20:05 PM »

Everytime you would kill me I could here you cheer with a quiet "yes!"and everytime I killed you a sigh..... I owned in a couple matches but then got worse as I got more tired.

My KD Ratio is 1.39 right now. I have never been this good at FPS's before!

Yeah, everyone was sleeping in my house so I was trying to be quiet. You are a good challenge. I so wanted to chatter but I have a fairly deep and loud voice and if i remove the bass in it the mic tends to not be able to pick it up.

It's funny, you can watch people's skills decline across multiple matches. There was this one guy, Jim -I called him Jim the Alien since he played as one of the bugs- he was unstoppable early on. I think you joined part way through his reign as well. But in some of his later matches he was obviously losing his edge because I started killing him constantly. He then quit.

I think people's wrists get tired from aiming the Wiimote and using it for melee attacks and that impacts their performance over a long stretch of matches. I know mine was hurting last night. Course I also played several hours of BWii that day as well so I guess my wrist was boud to start getting tired.

kraken613 · « **Reply #143 on:** June 26, 2009, 07:18:28 PM »

Yeah, I played with him too.

I will be on from this point on. Just post and we can play private if you would like.

I totally agree. I remember Rize getting eviscerated for stating this as one of the things he didn't like about Wii's controller setup, and I have to agree with him. I finished off the single-player campaign this morning, which required me to sit there and play for four hours straight. By the end my right wrist was killing me. Most genres don't require you to hold the Wii and Nunchuk suspended in the air for prolonged periods of time, but first-person shooters are the exception. I couldn't rest my wrists on anything either, because responding quickly meant that I had to have my forearms free to move them around.

I still prefer dual-analog controal to both mouse and Wii motion controls. It's not as responsive/accurate, but it's much more comfortable over the long haul.

Stratos · « **Reply #145 on:** June 27, 2009, 04:59:21 PM »

My Nunchuck wrist I tend to rest on my leg until I need a grenade. The only option for my Wiimote wrist is to take breaks from time to time.

kraken613 · « **Reply #146 on:** June 27, 2009, 05:12:34 PM »

I rest the wiimote/nunchuck on my legs. I mapped punch to Nunchuck and grenade to +. The only motion to the wiimote is the ASE.

Like so....

Stratos · « **Reply #147 on:** June 27, 2009, 05:22:22 PM »

Actually, now that you mention it, I think i do that instinctively as well. I find it is easier to rest it when your sensor bar is above the TV. If it is below the TV you tend to cut off the IR signal with your knees and legs.

kraken613 · « **Reply #148 on:** June 27, 2009, 05:24:44 PM »

I always have my sensor bar above the TV. Thats how Nintendo showed it in press material so when I got my Wii I just put it there!

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #149 on:** June 27, 2009, 08:45:24 PM »

Is anybody else having problems with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection tonight? My connection is borked. The game either freezes up during player adding (after which I get dropped into a game frozen), or I can't connect at all.

Everything was working fine last night, so I doubt it's a problem on my end.
