Closed Requests / [Ban Request] Crashday_the_Pillager

« on: May 13, 2011, 04:07:50 pm »

I've joined the battle server and have seen that there are some new guys online (alts of russian players). They were teamwounding and teamkilling players intentionally, showing their bad behaviour. I.e. they TKed Lerva for hitting one of them once not on purpose. I TKed one guy, who was killing Lerva (not on purpose, just 1 hit with 0 wpf pike. I thought he was an enemy, and i got disoriented because he had red-white banner similar to Templars, and attacking Lerva) and without a second to say sorry another guy from that clan starts attacking me (Crashday_the_Pillager). I had full hp and he lend like 10+ hits on me. Here some screenshots. He didn't stop TKing people and he kept calling me bad names on russian.

Closed Requests / [Ban Request] Tercio_AlejandroFarnesio

« on: April 23, 2011, 04:45:23 pm »

Hello, i've never made ban request threads, but this player has really pissed me off. 20 minutes ago I was playing on EU1, the map was field by river. I was running in front of the whole team as always and suddenly i've been hit by someone from behind. I've rotated and attacked my enemy immediately but in 3 seconds i've found out that this player was my teammate (i'm playing first person and it's really not easy to see the banner of someone who is attacking you from behind in such close range) so i've stopped attacking him. After that he was threatening me to make a thread on forums for my teamhits, but really wth? He attacked me from behind and what was he waiting? My reflexes are sharp so I always attack back immediately when i'm getting attacked from behind... I forgot about that guy, cause there are a lot of teamhitters and i don't really care too much about them, but... here comes a new map and i'm going to tower and this guy is attacking me again from behind and trying to run away. He was saying that i have a bad reputation and noone will believe me. I have plenty of players who saw him attacking me on field by river and have a screenshot of him in that tower.

That's how he looks:

Here we can see one of the players, proving that he was attacking players on the respawn

Scene Editing / [Request] Optimize Blank 12

« on: April 08, 2011, 12:26:43 pm »

Hello, Blank 12 is not optimized. I have very low fps, when I look on the side with windmills (which is not used by players btw). I think, that it's necessary to remove chariots, dummies and windmills to have good fps (like on other maps)

«The truest characters of ignorance are vanity, pride and arrogance.»

Why you should not overestimate yourself

                                                            written by DaveUKR

This is the story about one man, who died a long time ago but his problem is actual. Nobody remembers neither his name nor his worthless life.

Difficult to say now but he was probably an orphan, because nobody saw his relatives. He was always alone, nobody could say a single word to him. People used to say that he was a very strange person. He was perfecting his sword every day from the early years of his life.

His dream was to become the greatest and the most respected warrior in the village. That dream was easy to become true, villagers were poor fighters and he could beat them easily. After a little tournament in that small village, where the he had achieved a flawless victory, he started to insult and scoff at villagers. He thought that he was a god of battle, modern Hermes and invincible warrior.

He was young and his blood was hot. He never stopped to say that he's better than everyone in that village. And one day he has lost his respect for good and all, because people were tired of his offensive behaviour. They didn't care about his fighting skills, that was a peaceful village, where the respect could be earned only being a good humble man.

Days, months, years passed and the arrogant villager didn't feel the respect of the people but he didn't stop mocking them. They refused to help him, so he was forced to work hard to maintain his useless existence. He decided to revenge them. One day he has broken a wheel on peasant's chariot.

Another day he has wasted old woman's garden

The last straw of villagers' patience was the day when he threw a dust in their dinner.

After some years of tyranny and offence villagers made a try to kick him from the village, but he proved that he was a better fighter than they. That day made his arrogance being as big as never before, even though he was pretty old that days. He wore his armour and went to King's army stronghold.

He shouted with offence that he's the best warrior in the whole mainland and he will beat their best warrior. Nobody has answered him, but he kept insulting King's warriors, saying that they're cowards and too weak for him. He looked shamefully and foolishly, like a naughty kid. And then the gate was opened by somebody. It was a knight with big scars on his face, that fellow looked like an experienced warrior. Our arrogant hero didn't stop shouting about his mighty hands and powerful hits, but that shiny warrior was calm and silent. Unknown shiny knight pulled out his sword, while his enemy wore a helmet with unstoppable bad words. With saying all that words, he was sure that he can beat everyone and a shiny knight was just an easy enemy, even worse than a dummy.

A lot of people came to watch that duel and in a few seconds after it has started a shiny knight has knocked the sword out of arrogant's hands and poked him in his chest. Arrogant fell on the ground and kept lying, while shiny knight turned around and went back to the stronghold. That was an easy victory for the knight and a great shame for unknown squirt, who was lying on the dirty ground. Villagers came back to their houses, nobody helped a wounded loser. He has found powers to stand up. He came back to the village with a big bleeding wound...

He was knocking at the doors, but nobody opened them to help him.

He used his last powers to wear off his armor and after a few seconds he died.  Gone forever in disrespect and obscurity...

«The real fault is to have faults and not try to mend them.»

Why there should be database bans:
Why exploiting a broken mechanism on a server until banned and avoiding the ban playing on other servers is unjust towards the rule abiding playerbase.

                                                                                                                                                                                                         by DaveUKR

Here's the story of my ban.
That was one of usual days, I had just retired and decided to join a siege server. To be honest, I don't like siege servers and I prefer not to play there for some reasons: they are always full of people who don't want to play but want to level up faster without any efforts; too many peasants there who really can't kill anyone with lvl > 15; there is no real teamplay, unless you are a member of the clan (banner balance makes rounds predictable, clan teams win almost every time), etc. I was a low lvl useless player and I couldn't kill anyone besides peasants, so i've started making a mess: putting useless siege shields on our respawns, putting random ladders to nowhere, putting construction sites. I admit that most of the things which I did were just useless and they could not help my team to win. But at some point I've decided to be as useful as I can, and from that second I've started breaking rules by placing construction sites for defenders. Even though I can't recall that I've placed a construction site there (according to the screenshot) I'm pretty sure that it was me, because I was the only one, who had them (somebody could pick those which I've dropped but nobody used them, as I remember).

 I can talk about misunderstanding the rules (which say that blocking is forbidden) but I knew that my tactic may cause ban. And from this point of sight I understand that there should be database bans so the rule breaker could be banned from Siege Servers for placing construction sites there (i.e. for a month) but still could keep playing on battle servers (where he did nothing wrong). Database bans could help with the punishment of "relapsed criminals", so they could not play on the other crpg servers while being banned on official. From time to time I see people, who are hiding from NA bans on EU servers and vice versa. If they were breaking the rules on one server they can easily do this on the another one.

Database bans with the ending time of the ban on website could be a useful thing.

Furthermore, database bans will obviously facilitate the work of other server admins (one official ban can save the time of NA and other server admins, so they won't be forced to lose time banning a bad guy, who is banned on the other server) and make the game of other servers' players significantly better (admins are not always online, so a banned jerk with bad ping can make bad things on the server from the opposite side of the world without being punished). Database bans require a new simple ban system, which should look like this:

You enter the nickname of the player, choose servers where to ban (or global ban), date of unban (easy to determine the day with a interactive calendar). This can be improved with assigning a ban reason, the name of admin who banned etc.

This system could prevent banned players from playing on other servers, passing a ban with having a good time (or bad time for players) on the other server and other players. This will give official admins superior rights in comparison with local admins (Shogunate, Fallen and other unofficial server admins).

"Why exploiting a broken mechanism on a server until banned is unjust towards the rule abiding playerbase."
I can't really answer this question, because on the one hand we have "Glitching is allowed, being an asshat isn't" rule and on the other one "NOT OK: Using indestructible construction sites to block passageways". To be honest, the best decision of this question will be a hotfix of broken mechanisms. It's not necessary to implement something until it's not okay (I can't recall a single time when players used construction sites for their "prime mission")

The last thing I'd like to say to all guys, whom I've wasted a game or mood: "Sorry for being a douchebag, I wanted my team to win but didn't think about my enemies, who are players just like me. Such actions like mine are not suitable." And the separate thank to IG_Saint who forced me to write these essays by beating me in duel on native server (6-5 score, watch the video in my next essay)
