dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The ATS servers are mostly dead outside of the cities even with roughly 600-700 players on. With that many players you will probably find a player about every 2-4 minutes outside of cities. I think they should add AI traffic only outside of cities and remove the speed limiter outside of cities while keeping it 55 mph inside cities because there are a decent amount of people inside cities. This would be a good thing to get people to play ATSMP more because it will make it more lively outside of cities and allow people to travel fast if they want to when there are barely any players around. Make sure to vote on the poll and if you don't agree with these suggestions tell me why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucking Gekco Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I say add AI because then we could get the special transport DLC in there, unless there's a way to disable that part of the DLC. However, adding AI will still be a difficult task because they need to sync the traffic with everyone on the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ersma_n_Bier Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 and in the ETS 2 Europe 2 you are running out because there is no idiot in every corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 @Trucking Gekco Yes that is true about the difficulty of syncing the AI traffic, they can't even sync rain or random events yet. Also maybe they could add special transport too because unlike ETS2 it won't cause many problems with the lower player count. Could you imagine special transport in ETS2MP with the AI escorts on CD road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason M Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I would have to say no to adding AI into the game one because we already have the players and I believe the game is good as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The problem I see with adding bot traffic is that it would need to be synchronized for all players in order to avoid chaos and that would probably require NASA grade servers. About removing the speed limits, I wouldn't care, because I usually play only for WoT jobs which have their own speed limit. But keeping in mind that this is MP, I don't see it happening. The way to be able to see lots of traffic everywhere and drive without speed limits is already there and it's called SP. Agreed that something to lure more players into ATSMP would be a great thing, but IMO, it's better to keep it pure MP. Removing speed limits and allowing Special Transports to be used would probably make many players to spend more time in ATSMP, but it would also make it a lot worse, many of those "new" players would be trolls, reckless drivers who only want to race with the 85 tons trailers, etc. Add bot traffic to this equation and it would be chaos in any "human crowded" areas. Finally, there are 2 ATSMP servers and the American one has shown some "erratic" behaviour several times in the past, putting more load on it would only make things worse.

ShadowWolf2k7 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 @dragonslayingmaster1000 adding it to ETS wouldn't be a problem either, due to the fact that there are 0 ST loads for the C-D road. and adding in AI traffic, specially on EU2 would cause more problems so if they set up servers with AI, be it with any of the current servers, I don't think EU2 will be one that gets AI traffic. as for your pole there should have been a third option and that being adding ai traffic with out removing the speed limiter. since it is set to 100 mph and that is plenty fast enough. for myself and others 80-85 mph is fast enough.

dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 @ShadowWolf2k7 That is true but in some other popular areas there are quite a few ST loads and after Germany rework it's not just Duisburg that has players. Take a look at this list of the routes: https://www.reddit.com/r/trucksim/comments/7jkwfu/list_of_special_transport_routes/ As you can see, these routes include Brussel, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dortmund, Hannover, and other places where there will be over 20-25 players.

Hairy Goober Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Keep it the way it is, I've been hit or run off the road at least three dozen times since the VNL came out, all but four of those times was by people speeding. If they can't manage to stay in their own bloody lanes at the 80mph most do they sure as hell won't at triple digit speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowWolf2k7 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 @dragonslayingmaster1000 the issue isn't the ai, or where the loads go it is the server such as EU2. don't put ai on EU2 and it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 @Irrelevant One Give them more room then, in ETS2MP when someone is overtaking me as high speed I give them as much room as possible so they don't run me off the road.

JJM8 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I think there should be no speed limiter but AI traffic might make some issues. But I say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALCRY Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 As far as I know, in Truckers MP were going to do separate servers on which there will be a game traffic. This information appeared about six months ago, but I do not know about the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
