Instead to complain about EP, just avoid it and go to Calais since nobody goes there. It's only like 100km extra distance I think.
actuslly ive been noticing that both Calais, EP and IJ are getting busy at peak times, the only clear ones are up north in Denmark normally.
-
besides, without NCZ at EP youll just have tailbacks at peak times stretching back through Rotterdam and on towards Brussels, sure it would be more realistic, but troll heaven and lag central, at least with NCZs it keeps the traffic flow up and provides entertainment when two guys enter and exit at the same time and get launched to space, besides the amount of trolls you see on the stretch between Brussels and Rotterdam is crazy at peak times.

You realise not everybody has a hacked profile with billions and garages bought in every town, right? Excuse me, but this suggestion is very stupid.
idont know about that, its a valid point, its just that it wouldn't really solve the main issue we all can see and that's trolls ramming and trying their best to flip us over, believe me if there was a mod for MP where you can press a key and a hydraulic flipper deployed from the side of my truck whenever a guy tries to squeeze me or ram me, id be happy, teach those noobs a lesson, but a lot of guys I see without a trailer, 9/10 of them drive reasonably and don't try and wreck you, as I said a lot of the trolls have now switched to driving with a trailer because, well more weight= more damage that can be dealt.
-
thing is, people just wont wait, people just wont give you room, people wont play like that, its best if you want that level of realism to play SP than MP because to try and get EVERY driver on EVERY server to wait in turn for each other will never happen, people are too impatient and will just ram, pass and block just to get ahead of you so NCZ need to stay, at least until some other sort of system can be put in place to help straighten traffic out, besides, think of the lag youll have if theres 40+ trucks going in and out of EP and are sat there in queue, the lag will be horrible no matter how beefy your PC is.

This is stupid. I average 170km/h on the motorway and the only time I crash is when I'm not looking on the road. Also, the motorway has 3-4 lanes, it's not hard to avoid a troll if they are getting in your way.
please tell me that you aren't an idiot. speed limits are there for a reason, if you go 170KMH then youre just stupid, speed kills, im an experienced driver yet I don't go faster that 120KMH, safe speeds. if you drive at that high of a speed no matter your "skill" levei youre a hazard on the road end of, if you do that without a traier then youre even more of an idiot in all honesty.
-
Another way to sort out the raming and trolling instead of NCZs is to bring the speed on that section of road down, lower speed, less damagebecause trolls cant get up to speed themselves.

considering that avoiding trolls is harder than you think, seeing what theyre going to do, seeing if theyre heading for you and making the correct movement isn't as easy as you say it is.
@miss_nibody, I agree with you, ive been ramed and nearly rolled by bobtailers but most of the time it happens on single carriageways, but trolls are getting smart and are using trailers now to hit you because of the heavier mass they can do much more damage with at speed, I get annoy at them myself, especially when youre driving like you should, but trollers, rammers and blockers are now coming in all different shapes and sizes with or without trailers, on motorways or single carriageways
-
besides lots just trollers heaven then when they can turn off damage to their equipment and just ram people on and on and on without doing any damage to themselves.

Although ive been noticing that a lot more people have been using both Amsterdam and EP, its just more tiring to have to drive all the way up into Denmark or down to Calais to make it over the water, especially if your delivery point is close by anyway, although passing through Rotterdam isn't such a nightmare as it once was if you just keep an eye on traffic around you and be prepared to slam on the brakes at any given second, although if EP and Rotterdam were full NCZ it would reduce a lot of the congestion but can add the trolling principle of guys waiting on the edge of the NCZ to ram you or send you to space. although EP doesn't get so much traffic anymore nowadays.
using money mods just take away the whole gameplay element really, besides, if you have to use money mods to tackle rammers then you really have no driving skills, I run through the bad areas with a full load, legit cash and a truck that has very little damage done to it for over 5000miles, avoiding rammers is as easy as hitting the brakes and hitting your hazards or if someone's trying to squeeze you against a wall, its easy enough to do a good race driver move and trick them to try and squeeze you on one side while diving around, shifting down a gear and flooring it around them the other side, simple skills.i cant be the only one using money mod surely? since using i laugh at rammers hahaha

How many times do people have to ask for mods or mod maps to be made for MP? It isn't going to happen till at least beta or later if at all so people need to stop asking for modded maps in particular, if you want that, go play singleplayer!
-
there isn't the need to have an extra EU server, they cost a lot of money to buy, rent and even run let alone the amount of work needed to get it operational for people to use. besides all MP needs is for the Netcode to be strengthened to support more people on 1 server and then the servers can be upgraded to a higher capacity of people, simple and cost effective fix instead of buying a server for people who may not even play for ages anyway.
-
really its down to SCS to accommodate a fixed empty lot if you like, where people can just park up/ for convoys to convene at. till then just pick a non lag inducing area for convoys
-
we should have the option to have an ingame live map feed that can be brought up while driving.
-
it is a dumb thing, if youre multiplying the charge for speeding, I get caught by the cameras occasionally, yet I drive as legit as possible, don't jump reds and act like a civil human, yet if you increase the charges, all youre doing is screwing the little guy, do you really think trolls and cheats care if they have to pay fines? it don't stop them now so it wont if you increase the charge, yet for the little guy who hardly ever breaks the laws, he gets screwed by paying x high amount of money for ONE misjudgement, not a deliberate act of idiocy
-
whats the point of another EU server anyway? it isn't going to fix trolling and ramming issues anyway, not to mention not at all cost effective where EU1 and 2 are barely running at half capacity at the moment, besides lets face it, the map in some places is absolutely dead for other drivers, especially the further east you go, adding more servers for people to use will just make the roads even more empty, wheres the fun in dead roads? the thrill of trying to get passed people who forget to downshift for hills with heavy loads.
-
it should be from your pc as the time of the server is displayed on your trucks dash anyway so no need to have that up.
-
I also see the statement 'Jazzycat trailers are realistic'. Now last time I checked, US trailers are not generally used in Europe. Also, most trailers in Europe have number plates, whereas many of his do not.
but compared to stock scs loads, Jazzycats trailers are more realistic in terms of looks and weight for cargo, besides, so what if US trailers are included? you don't know what EVERY trucking company in the WHOLE of Europe uses to haul around, besides although 53"s are a lot harder to drive on our windy and nasty roads, they have the benefits of that extra size for more carrying capacity without the worries of height restrictions etc. besides its a GAME, not everything in a GAME is set to real world replication.
-
so if I stop because I need to take a phone call or make a text to sort something and theres no services, what is being suggested here technically influences driving while on a mobile phone which is dangerous driving, just think of that child in the car youll inevitably hit because "youre not allowed to pull over in a safe way" (I do not condone the use of a mobile phone while drivng IRL btw) but lets face it, its better to stop on the side of the road out of peoples way than drive recklessly because youre trying to do something at the same time.
-
then whats the point of it being called a simulator? may as well call it Euro Truck Arcade 2 for crying out loud.
-
It shouldn't be down to the admins to have to deal with traffic, if this were to be a thing it would have to be made up of credible drivers who have a low ban amount for dangerous driving, less work load on the admins, means reports can be sorted out more thoroughly and things can run more smoothly, besides EP doesn't get congested up as bad nowadays and if youre smart and need to go to the UK that way, turn off and head up to Amsterdam and cross from there.
-
The mod uses a lot of VRAM from your GPU. With all the jazzycat mods, I get half the fps that I usually get in MP. So those playing the game on absolute potatoes will have an unpleasant experience.
not to mention the sync issues with people who don't want the mods or cant use them anyway. better to just leave it as is until more work can be done or mwl makes us some killer MP working mods that wont nuke your PCs graphics card or cause gllitches

this is a stupid suggestion, what if you have to stop on the hard shoulder because youre avoiding an accident in front of you and pull off out of the way? besides unless people are pulling straight out into the middle lane from a standstill it doesn't effect traffic flow at all, as long as when you pull away you stick to the inside lane till you are at a safe speed to change lanes without blocking others, ive seen more issues and accidents happen from guys running reds and leaving fuel stations than pulling away from the side of the road. its MP you have to expect the unexpected and not whine about something that MIGHT be an inconvenience to you because you don't give people room when rejoining the motorway, all I can say is that if you stop on the side of the road, leave your lights and hazards on so youre easy to spot and when leaving leave indicate to closing vehicles your intention before moving off.

only mods that are APPROVED by the ETS2MP gurus are allowed in MP, besides, you don't know what SCS has in store for us in the upcoming months, we may see Oversized, Overweight or Tandem trailers being added to the stock game, besides, if you want to run with trailer mods, just fire up the good old Singleplayer and add as many trailer mods as you want.
-
ETS2 is being constantly updated but players want the MP up to the latest version as soon as possible. Adding features like this will make the wait even longer if it was even going to be put onto the latest version.
its entirely up to when SCS finally stops updating ETS2 and moves on to other projects where resources are more needed and the game itself is in a very stable place, then we may see MP enter beta and that might, and I say MIGHT, include its own economy and money system, but that could be 1,2,3 years from now. all depends on SCSs schedule for updating ETS2, perhaps by then we may even have an ATS2 or ETS3 or even a METS (Middle Eastern Truck Simulator), never know really.

although I don't run reds, (at least on purpose) its dumb to insta ban someone for running a red, if you either are late braking or the lights change just as youre about to get to them (that's the most common for me) its more logical to plant the throttle and go through than stop and potentially block the junction, simple as that, ive seen guys get rammed over lights, guys fail to get it slowed down, but if youre careful, use youre mirrors and all that, you avoid incident, common sense really.
