We NEED marketing!

Im pretty sure you’ll be too busy making spiteful comments to assert your sense of belonging in the interesting threads they make.

No, i don’t have a degree in psychology, im just awesome that way.

Dammit, I was really hoping that you were a one-day event.

(LyndonL) #23

I don’t have a problem with anyone else on here. I just really dislike arrogance. It’s very unbecoming.

Well he got banned (finnaly).
SD should keep a lookout for any new accounts in the next few days to see if it’s the same ip.
(Or is a ban linked to the ip anyway?) They should link the ban to his MAC Address or something :smiley:

it’ll be a temp ban, it takes a little more to get a perm ban.

(Herandar) #26

What I don’t get is what satisfaction one gets from geting banned from this forum. He was actively seeking it. Griefers gottta grief, I guess.

There are always exceptions. :slight_smile:

(DarkangelUK) #28

I’m under the suspicion that he was somehow herded in this direction, was too blatant and obvious.

This is why we need some sort of anti-friend list in games or more likely the gaming platforms. As least give the users some say in whether they want to join or be on the same server as someone that’s a total nob.

You have that on the Halo games, you can choose to avoid a player and you’ll never be entered into match making with them.

(SockDog) #31

Bungie do seem to have a lot of unique features to handle interactions with other players. Strange that so few other games follow suit.

I’m crossing fingers and hoping it’s something Steam brings on board at some time. Social interaction shouldn’t stop at friend lists.

(actually, it’s a standard feature of Xbox Live and not limited to Halo)

(SockDog) #33

Interesting.

When you say feature, is it something that the game needs to support or is there something on the dashboard where you can flag/block people? (I don’t do online with Xbox)

Now I want this even more on Steam. <platform envy!>

afaik, XBL has about 2 gig of stuff on every game

(Herandar) #35

On XBox Live, you can select to ‘prefer’ or ‘avoid’ any other person on Live. If you select prefer, then the system will try to match you up with that player. It works too: I found myself in a BFBC2 game against ‘G a K e I R’, the (then) number 1 BFBC2 player on the 360. That night, I selected him as a preferred player, and found myself in another game against him within a week and a half. (Utter and wretched failure in my attempts to get his dogtags both times, but I did kill him a couple of times.)

If you select ‘avoid’, you have to give a reason, and it will affect that players reputation too, though reputation is pretty much ignored by most people, same as on internet forums.

With gunzo out I can finally I can get rid of my sig

(SockDog) #37

I won’t derail any further but this would be nice on all platforms. Thanks for the info.

(Murderous Pie) #38

Sorry, but can we get back to the origional discussion?

(Auzner) #39

There’s only so much we can pretend to know about marketing. I know somewhere out there there’s someone who could refute every post I’ve ever made that has the word ‘marketing’ in it.

that’s awesome

:wink:
