This is the official Meeting Room and Voice/IM comms system NBC has adopted. In addition to NBC meeting lobbies, NapLrd has created an open HLG lobby available to ALL players.

Xfire is a free unobtrusive program, offering custom lobbies, Voice and IM comms, video and screenshot capture etc...

It is good to see how many are joinin Xfire. It is essential for the progress of Interclan, that we can agree on one meeting place for voice. If we are splintered it will not work

Hello Cavalier. If you want to join a team for Histwar League they are listed here- http://nwg.freeforums.org/hwlg-cw-league-representatives-20-08-2010-t1241.html with team site links and the representatives.

Just to help you guys. Xfire seems to becoming the preffered meeting and voice/IM comms system.
Any Clan/Club can create their own lobby an sub lobbies.  I have included 2 screens, one shows the lobbies I currently use.
The other is a step by step of how to find, create and save Lobbies for ease of use.

Hope this helps :p

Thanks NapLrd

I've joined both groups now.

Had my first MP last night with fellow NBC crowd (Gunner, AJ and ges).

Had a great game. The lads were very patient and supportive.

Xfire helped a lot and if you can tolerate listening to AJ talking to himself  ;) then I would recommend trying a game out with the lads.

Cheers fellas :D

Grog, I just can't help it. I swear and curse when my lads run away, cheer em on when they stand fast. Yesterday I was verbally fending off the wife who had a 10" Henkel chef's knife in her hand whilst i'm in X fire. Gunner 24 and DougieJ are so bloody funny anyway, that I find myself laughing at them for half the battle. The absolutely worst, was my 10 minute fit of Laughing, when G24 discovered I had attacked him with a 3,000 strong regiment of Horse Guards and he declared " What the *******
Aj's invented Napoleons version of a Nuclear Bomb"

xFire looks like the place to be for multiplayer. I must admit i am not that interested in joining a clan or a ladder competition. I just want to be able to find other like minded gamers and play games. AJ amongst others is doing a fantastic effort on getting things coordinated. I would recommend that we all get on board with this to get the largest mass of MP interested Les Grog players out there. The more the merrier in my books.

I'm sure many others feel the same way, which is of course is no problem whatsoever, except for : please bear in mind a "clan/club" that is arranging MP games will normally give priorty to it's own members over other people who are not interested in such things.  

NBC will always try to help others, and make room in games for them, but sometimes this is not possible, so my advice is join one, it's free, your will get a lot more games, it makes for more enjoyment and mainly, there is no dis-advantage.

He sure is, and NBC are very pleased to have him working so hard for us, and the general Community - why not join in with NBC and give us a try....if you don't like it - you can leave at anytime.

Cavalier, I would add one thing more. At NBC for example, we have members who don't fight in Interclan or any League type MP.
Generally we meet everyday at 1200 - 1300 hrs pst on weekdays, and many times we just fight an MP for fun. I'm sure other Club/Clans do the same too

Has anyone set up a place where people who aren't interested in clans can go to meet and find other players?  This would go a long way toward getting more people playing MP.  I can't do this myself because my Internet connection does not support voice chat.

People need to make sure that they set xFire up to automatically start when they turn their PC on. There are people I know that are online because they are on steam but are offline on xFire because they do not have it runing.
Titre: Re : Xfire- Histwar Les Grognards
Posté par: Gunner24 le 04 novembre 2010, 14:26:44 pm
I often check into xfire, and see people there, but away from the pc......if I'm in steam for ntw3 I have xfire closed as we use steam voice chat in steam.

If I'm staying at the pc I will stay in xfire, but if I don't have time for a game - I normally close it down.

There are getting more registered, at some point soon we may have enough to "bump" into each other.

It really looks as though Xfire is becoming the meeting place of choice.  It is not a lobby to hang around in to find a game but does provide an efficient meeting place
Titre: Re : Xfire- Histwar Les Grognards
Posté par: Hook le 01 décembre 2010, 14:50:20 pm
When I installed Xfire it did not automatically detect HistWar, although it did detect a dozen or more games that are single player only.  I couldn't find any option to add HistWar to the list; everything on the area of the screen where I could browse to a game is grayed out.

I also haven't seen anyone who had HistWar in their gaming history. 

The few times I've seen anyone in Xfire at all, they were playing NTW.  And from the looks of the last login dates, there are only about 10 to 15 people doing any online gaming at all through Xfire, no matter what the game.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get HistWar to show up in my installed games?

Not me, I wondered about this as well.

I would say there are not many people logged on to xfire for one simple reason, there are not many playing HW MP, but for those that are, xfire seems by far the best option to me.

i think its not possible now Hook as Histwar is not an official game for Xfire. You demand it on the forum and if the admin see real interest includes the game. We have it on the forum but cause of interest lack our topic disapppeared so it didnt open.

But as AJ and Gunner mentioned there are times people become online from time to time .I know i can meet 2-3 people interested in MP gaming if i become online at 12gmt or you can meet some people at 20gmt etc. this is like a meeting place instead of a lobby as there are not enough Histwar MP gamers around.

I expect [DI] arrive to Xfire on January so there ll be more interesting MP games i am sure !

Well sumed up in one sentance.

How can we encourage more solo players to play MP ?.....and see what the game is really like - solo and MP are about as different as football and golf.
