Where to play 1vs1?

[R.A.T.Washing.M]

Hi Fraggers,

I'm new here. I'm playing Nexuiz since about 1 year.
I mostly frag on Dcc's servers. Among default public server list,
they seem to be the most serious servers so as to find descent players.

Mostly on the 1vs1 hidden Dcc server, i oftenly see amazing
fraggers who never touch the ground and have some 80% rates with the nex.
But i almost never see them on public servers.
And i wonder: damn, where do these guys daily practice to reach such a
skill??
I guess it must exist some private servers which are trusted by excellent
players. Could some of you give me a clue so as to find such places?

Thanks in advance dudes.

They normally play/practice on those hidden (private) servers you are on about

Hi. What Kojak said is right. There are a few of these hidden servers. Since you seem to play on DCC servers I assume that you live in Europe somewhere, as this would explain why you chose this server (as opposed to playing on North American servers).

There are a few of these servers. In Europe we call them "Ladder servers", because they are being used for the Nexuiz Ladders, as well as different Nexuiz tourneys that pop up 1-2 times per year . Anyways, the ladder is not really used anymore, but it still provides a unified configuration for these servers which is used by these ladder servers, so where ever you go on those, the game settings will be the same.

To see a list of these servers, go to the Nexuiz Ladders page, register an account and log in. Once you selected a ladder in the drop-down box at the upper left side, you will see a menu item "Ladder servers". Click on it to see which servers there are. The list is updated when ever another admin adds a new server.

1on1's which are not played as a part of a ladder or tournament match are usually played by finding players in the #nexuiz.pickup channel. If you have IRC and know how it works it won't be a problem for you to get there. If you don't, and you are too lazy to find out what IRC is and how to use it, you can go on the page http://webchat.quakenet.org and enter a nickname and the channel, #nexuiz.pickup and then connect.

Once you are in the channel, you can decide that you want to play a game by sending the text:

!add selectedGameMode

For selectedGameMode, use something that is seen in the topic, e.g. Nexrun1v1, or TDM, or 1v1 (what ever game mode you want to play). Once another player wants to play too, he will also add himself the same way. Once enough players have been found to start a game (e.g. 4 players for the 2on2 TDM, or 2 players for a 1v1), you will be notified to which server to connect. Then you play your game .

Hope that helped.

For further help regarding this, just ask your question in #nexuiz or #nexuiz.pickup, I bet someone will answer your questions.

My, that is some useful information you posted there, GreEn'mArine. Thanks also from my side.

...and welcome back from Canada (or where was it again), if you happen to be back ;o)

[GreEn`mArine]

no prob. Yeah, I am kind of back. Not yet back in action, but I'll play again in January

thanks for your complete post GreEn'mArine.
Just great that kickass players like you give to newbies such a detailed level of info.

Indeed, I know of several NA private/1v1 servers -- but those would be of no help to you, as you would most likely get 200+ ping.
