General Discussion / Re: Boycott the community servers.
« on: August 22, 2011, 12:10:23 am »
They do have a comment system, don't they? They can put in 'kicked for teamwounding' or 'leeching' or whatever. Some of them use it, but it doesn't really matter to me - I've never seen anything that looked like a 'powertripping admin' to me, nor heard any legitimate complaints about admin behavior on community servers.
Usually the complaints are something like "Well yeah I was team-wounding, but the other guy tked me first! And anyway, you could have just kicked me, not banned me for a whole day!"
I'm glad to see people like that banned. IMO, good admins are first concerned with keeping the game running smoothly for rule-following players. Being as gentle as possible with rule-breakers to sweetly coax them into behaving.. that's not something that keeps me up at night.
And this seems to be the difference between those people (and it's the majority, though most aren't especially vocal on the forums) who like the Community servers and those who don't. People willing to follow the rules love it because they don't have to put up with all the BS you find on official servers; people who cannot follow the rules or actually plan to break them don't like it because there will be actual consequences if they're caught.

I love the community servers. I think the only players who don't are the morons who like to be able to get away with team-attacking and trolling up the chat.
Community servers more often have admins on, and admins who aren't afraid to enforce the rules. I'm more than happy to play on a server where I know an admin won't be afraid to ban me if I break a rule - that means other people are more likely to behave as well.
I'm not sure why some people feel they have an inborn right to argue with admins. Let those types stick to the official servers; I'd be happy to see community server admins immediately ban anyone who does it, so they can be less distracted from keeping the server in line. Good riddance ;)

Community servers ban people who rage at admins?
Oh man, that sounds nice. I can live without those types of players

Well.. I'm just asking, you checked to make sure it was counting the gold/xp on the website?
I just thought it seemed funny with the 970 xp; just because a server is reporting xp/gold doesn't always mean it's actually counting it for the site, so I thought that should be confirmed

Note the 970 xp in the screenshots..
Also in the first one, the "You are now level 1!"
What's the deal with that? Isn't this what happens when a server isn't connected to the database, or isn't actually counting xp? I remember when the database was having problems a week or two ago, and when you tried to play on a server you'd be naked and level 0 - also generation 0, which I presume causes the 970 xp per tick rather than the normal 1000 xp for gen1.
I'd like to see some confirmation that someone can get xp that actually counts on the website by doing this, as that '970 xp gained' message makes me think it isn't being counted.

General Off Topic / Re: death of c-rpg?(maybe a slow death)
« on: August 20, 2011, 02:47:25 pm »
Err.. Star Wars? Sort of a different target audience isn't it?
Anyway - there are hundreds of games released every year. There are probably more than 100 active mmos out there now. (Many of them aren't very good of course, but people have different tastes.)
cRPG might be threatened by.. I dunno, Mount and Blade 2, if that ever got made. Though probably we'd just get upgraded to cRPG 2 in that case. People here are looking for a certain sort of gameplay, and even if many of us may also enjoy some other games, I don't think it likely that any other game could replace what we're getting here.

If you're wanting to play in a more civilized environment, I suggest sticking to the NA Community (the ATS-run) servers.
I only have experience with siege, but the admins are on frequently and do a great of enforcing rules, including no racism.

Suggestions Corner / Re: Failed Poll = Loss of Multiplier
« on: August 09, 2011, 05:01:14 pm »
Even if you're only at x1 multi, a failed leecher report will take you to x0 - no gold/xp at all.
Anyway.. I'm just saying, for whatever reason the devs think that is reasonable, so it should be even more clearly appropriate for failed polls. Polls are even more disruptive than leecher-reporting since they show up for everyone on the server. And of course, if someone makes a false leecher report against you, you can just hit 'M' and it's no big deal - whereas it is possible you may be kicked/banned even by an illegitimate poll.
