Servers

(Apoc) #1

May have already been discussed but i was wondering about the finer details of the servers. For instance:

[ol]
[li]Are there going to be ranked/unranked like in etqw or in crysis 2 where there are ranked, unranked, and official ranked…whatever the difference is with them?
[/li][li]Can people host their own servers?
[/li][li]What sort of flexibility of server setting are allowed (assuming you can host your own), im sure there must be some caps.
[/li][li]Reserved slots available?
[/li][li]Ability to kick/ban players from servers?
[/li][/ol]
Apologies if these questions have been answered elsewhere, i was just playing crysis 2 and the servers annoyed me to hell and made me panic about brinks xD
Crysis 2 is a massive buggy mess, but it still could have some sort of kick vote or admins around to kick…that game has a stupid number of aimbots (actual blatantly obvious, flicking across maps from head to head, in seconds with a scoped weapon ones) and the players can do absolutely nothing about it, unlike in etqw where you could kick vote them off or admin ban them. Also continuing my crysis 2 rant, having ranked and unranked servers is bad enough, but then having a large number of official ranked servers aswell…pretty much ensures everyone will play on those due to the shiny official logo that is unexplained yet shiny. Meaning most clan servers and others are left unpopulated :frowning:

Anyways, discuss…

What would the difference between ranked and unranked be?

(crazyfoolish) #3

One might think that the difference between the two would be that one is ranked and the other is not. That’s just a stab in the dark though.

I think this is the one topic I don’t mind seeing so many threads for since I’m curious myself. Server info is important because it’s going to be one of the building blocks of the community. And I don’t think it’s too unreasonable to want some preliminary info to prepare with before launch.

I would like to point out, off topically, that I appreciate Apoc. Most duplicate threads start and end with, “I’m sorry”. The OP said, “I (implied} Apologies”, that is a whole hell of a lot classier then, “I’m sorry”. Thank you Apoc.

Also: I’m also interested in the answer.

Since the only stat tracked is XP, I don’t get why you wouldn’t play on a ranked server unless modding disabled it or something.

it was mentioned ONCE that there were no ranked servers, but a long time ago

Actually, I’m pretty sure that all stats are tracked. For balancing purposes if for no other reason. It’s just that most (if not all) the stats are not going to be officially displayed publically.

Ty, well if there arent any ranked and all servers record xp, are sd putting any caps in place or is it pretty much, make your server how you want it i.e adjustable spawn timers, insta gib option, higher jumps, etc etc etc
That is if they are customisable at all…

Right, and they said you could actually have access to things like K/D if you really wanted to. Might be private per player, might be server setting, etc.

server admins can access the log files, these can be used to calculate any stats a clan may want to track on their server
