[EU Siege Mode] Recruit Admin(s) to Siege Mode servers.

  Siege mode is abandoned by supervision in a extreme level, more and more players daily say to me and/or to the rest of the player base that this is something problematic.

  The siege mode, instead of being a mode where tactics matter in order to save your castle/keep, or to assault it, is now a place (2+ servers) where the following is constant and recurrent on a hourly rate (please ignore the fact that I'm a known liar, or so it seems):

  • Massive Leeching;
  • Grieving;
  • Opening doors as defender;
  • Auto-balance bypassing (I have 2 tickets opened regarding this);
  • Intentional and/or careless Team Wounding and Team Killing;
  • Racism;
  • Construction Materials spam on doorways and ladder places;
  • Other lesser infringements.

Whenever I ask an admin on IRC to check an occurrence, after checking ingame, almost always I get the reply that I'm lying, and as soon as he leaves the server, it happens again.

We shouldn't need to ask for this so many times, our quality of game time should be a priority in this mod (and everywhere else).

PS: When/if you decide to take actions regarding this issue, please for all that is sacred avoid doing by the same method you've been doing, aka self nominations and random voting. It's been proved it counts for anything, and that way humiliations are avoided, even though the community feedback should be one of the most important decisive factors.

PS2: It is now 10 months later after the OP creation.


Thanks in advance,
André

I can confirm that siege has been, in all my recent experiences, a lawless and barren wasteland.  I will often inform people of which rules they're breaking, and am asked if I'm an Admin.  Not learning from ghostbusters, I give the truthful answer of No.  Needless to say, I try and try to clear my thoughts after nearly being tossed from the building, but it's too late...

I think that's why nobody plays it anymore.

We can't force admins to play on Siege, but we can give admin status to players who actually are willing to it and that play on siege. Kinda makes sense.

I really agree. The amount of broken laws/min is just unacceptable. I've been playing with players who are admins on a siege server and been talking with them at the same time in ts3, and I've heard several times that it's quite impossible to see all hits and such, it's hard to know if it was intentional and so on (though this was before the patch that applied auto-reporting teamhits). Which means that the admin easily get bored and leaves. We should have like dedicated siege-admins, who really enjoy siege-mode.

I play mostly battle, but I play enough siege to know that this picture you describe about siege is exaggarated. I can't even recall spotting people breaking rules, let alone the complete chaos you seem to notice.

Still, there are very few admins on Siege and there probably admin rights should be given to a few hardcore siege players.

Might not be that horrible, but since Khorin and Randomdude are the only admins i see on a more or less regular basis, totally agree with koldborn.

  Actually, if you spent some time spectating and looking for these things, you'll change your argument really fast. But don't worry I'm used to get that feedback and been called a liar several times before.
  Luckily I have my own "folder of preciousness" regarding the usual lawbreakers, random law breakers, prospect lawbreakers, and the kings of it, and also eyewitnesses, which are common.

Nuffen did the work of 10 admins. 2 of which were corrupt bastards and the other 8 pretty cool guys.

Tears was our Nuffen... but our GTXted... nothing else needed to prove which one is worst...


also, as a social study, why not putting a completely random guy to siege admin to see how he'll handle that?
that could be funny or cool or awesome or plain fail...

let's do it!

oh and :

give that poor koldborn adminship, he deserve it.

So the new response to ranged ragers is not "get a shield", it is "learn to chamber ranged nub!"

Admin status isn't a reward, it's a duty. Some ex-admins renounced it cause they failed to understand that very fact.

All I want, and for sure everyone else, is some quality time and peace of mind when playing in Siege, like we have in battle with those constant 3+ admins. It's not like we're asking the impossible.

Cheers

So maybe devs chose the wrong persons for admins ? .....  [no offense]

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

This thread is about the lack of supervision in siege servers, not about previous decisions. Please don't deviate from the main issue here. Thanks.
