Agree with this. Didnt say the ban is justified. Okay, that means he was not supposed to let the Pendo wait in any possible case as it was on time, right? Edit: nvm i read all the posts now 😛

The distance between Opoczno and Olszamow. is very, very long. If it took the Pendo 5 Minutes delay it was the wrong decision imo. As well it's much easier for the slower train to keep timetable than for the Pendo due to pt's in Strzalki I think

I'd be mad. Surely your fault alone and not what you decide when someone goes 180 for some reason.

Thats what i really really hope for. In the last weeks skill levels have decreased. That is a good sign that new players follow but it made my personal experience so much worse.

I love it. Give us the same for goats too. For the horns i want random versions of this:

I agree with the need of rules, but there's more to mind when it comes to those. Beside servers that are for beginners and advanced players (advanced not joinable before reaching e.g. lvl 50). On Beginners server no RP and events should be allowed. On advanced i think we should have RP allowed and in best case not some weird stuff a players thinks of but system made incidents. To not have too many incidents on the map there could be 4-5 available and dispatchers choose if still available. The list of active incidents you provide to everyone on the server (maybe in the "tab" menu) then everyone see's how's allowed to do which incident. When a dispatcher accepts an incident it alert that the job is to keep everything as normal as possible and waiting times short. With some cooldowns after someone had an incident it should be well regulated. Some Incidents (like a track closed) could be permitted for stations that cause problems with it (sosn glowny - katowice zabkowice, around gora, etc.) The thing is, that SR is actually pretty boring with the same timetable and only 1-2 good dispatching boxes on the map. I understand, why some players are bored after some time and start RP. The problem is, that new players copy this and then cause real problems for drivers. Imo its not a problem when incidents are handled well and losing few minutes on your ride of 2-3 hours is what i expect the game in multiplayer to be. Also, if some of the boxes would be combined as one (maybe the three lazys) to make them more challenging, that would make players want less incidents and they could handle them better if played well.

I am totally supporting your idea. Though i can't see the advantage of two People having a Stalin and Hitler avatar becoming friends faster. Not that I mind too much but I think it's better they never meet. No one would ever care if Donald and Daisy Duck Avatars fall in love quickly and play together every day 😉

Was ich absolute nicht verstehen kann ist, warum man sich auf den vollsten aller Multiplayer-Server einloggt und dann erhofft, dass jedes Stellwerk wie die KI arbeitet. Das Problem ist nicht, dass sich ein Fahrdienstleiter eine Störung ausdenkt, die er gut bewältigt und man als Fahrer gut informiert ist. (im besten Fall schon vor Ankunft von den benachbarten Stellwerken). Das Problem sind Spieler, die eine Störung verursachen, aber entweder nicht merken, dass sie das tun und/oder nicht damit umgehen können. Für mich ist es genau das, warum ich auf einem vollen Server spielen will und ehrlich gesagt glaub ich die handvoll Leute, die den Sinn eines Multiplayers nicht verstanden haben, sich am Ende ins eigene Fleisch schneiden werden. Bald werdet ihr allen, die das MP-Szenario mit eigenen Ideen und Vorfällen ausgestalten wollten, auch noch den Spaß verdorben haben und wie Bots über die Strecke fahren, auf der immer das Gleiche passiert. Jede fahrt wird ident sein und ist es quasi schon. Solange das Spiel keine eigenen Vorfälle generiert, auf die die Spieler dann reagiere müssen, erhoffe ich persönlich mir sogar ein paar Störungen. Dafür brauchts aber auch eine paar Leute, für KI-Fahrpläne nicht. Und nur ums klar zu stellen: in Depp, der dich mit einem Ersatzsignal mit 40kmh von Gora bis Zawiercie auf der 200er Strecke schickt, ist ein Depp und gehört irgendwo hin, wo er keinen stört, bis er gerlernt hat, was er tut. Wenn dich GD richtung Bedzin auf dem Gegengleis fahren lässt, weil eines der beiden Gleise gesperrt ist und ich vor meiner Ankunft in DG informiert -> Top. Ein FDL der mich auf einen anderen Bahnsteig navigiert, weil ein Zug mit höherer Prio dann besser durchfahren kann -> Top. Alles in allem sollten die Voraussetzungen um Stellwerke mit höheren Ansprüchen drastisch erhöht werden und dann sinnlose Regelungen wie die "Keine Gleissperren" Spielern, die genug Erfahrung haben, wieder eröffnet werden. Und um Spieler auf Server zu verteilen gäbe es einige besser Möglichkeiten, wie z.B. ein Server für Anfänger, ein Server für Lvl 50+, oder auch gern anders.

It can also remind you of topics you don't wanna think about while playing a simulator. That makes my experience worse.

This could also be done combined with a suggestions Van Webby made earlier: DE1 - Driver: High-Level / Dispatcher: High-Level DE2 - Driver: Mid-Level / Dispatcher: Low-Level DE3 - Driver: Low-Level / Dispatcher: Mid-Level DE4+: Any Assuming that the first 3 Servers are available 24h while rest gets shut down during night. Also Skill-Levels for boxes should be adjusted as different skills are required in all boxes. A skill order could be Lvl1 - Timetable, usage of EDR and basic functions only, first steps with no special kills needed (DG) Lvl2 - Train Priorities & Bypassing (Gora Wlodowksa) LVl3 - Blocks And Changing directions Lvl4 ... another basic skill --- All Baisc lvls mastered, u should also spend time in boxes with all skill levels, not just in anyone to reach Lvl X1 X1 - combining multiple of the skills X2 - anything before + system generated errors (track closings, etc.), maybe add custom trains and/or edit timetables If we had servers for different skills you could also adjust the possible boxes for each server. So if u were X2 on DE2 and DE3 u could still be X1 on DE1. In addition that would probably help split players on all available servers and stop having EN1, DE1 and PL1 being always full while all other servers are almost empty.

Exactly this. I think its pretty much everything you need to know. When I'm driving a Pendolino i expect dispatchers treat me as prio 1, if not, then not. But the game is missing a simple info about who has prio or not for new dispatchers. Also i would suggest to higher the needed dispatching times for high-level boxes. EDIT: and also adjust some levels of existing boxes

Maybe there should be a manual destruction function for users to delete trains if they haven't moved more than X m in last X minutes to free a blocked area instead. I think that would enable users to solve these current and future problems on their own without having to wait hours for a server restart.

this?
