[QUOTE=Shelly;473546]Even though I cant disagree with each point you brought up about the remaining servers you forget to mention that its due to the admins/server owner´s efforts that we can still play QW AT ALL after the ranked servers disappeared and authentications werent possible anymore. So dont go blaming admins for âruiningâ it.
[/QUOTE]
i was not going to answer this, but since nobody is playing right now âŚ
what i was trying to point out, is the fact that nowadays everybody seems to be playing a diferent game. and who can we blame for it ? admins ! the game is awesome, but some think that it would be better if ⌠(whatever). and just because they cant be bothered to learn something about it (either using vehicles, trickjumping, xp related stuff, etc âŚ) we end up with all these new mods and server rules.
just as example, check out villa server rules:
- Respect other players. Provide a fun, competitive, and fair atmosphere for everyone.
- Spawnkilling at the main base are strictly prohibited*, why waste your time at a fixed spawn? Fight for the forward spawns and objectives!
- Taking out turrets in main base is allowed, but limited to weapons & vehicles. No violators or airstrikes.
- Spamming in game chat(voip/text)/votes will result in a warn/mute/kick.
- You may not deliberately hinder your own team by team killing/wounding, destroying friendly vehicles or assets.
- Players with offensive and/or vulgar names will be removed.
- Switching team/join spectator/respawn in fight to defeat lose are unsportive behaviors, and will result in a warn/kick.
- Game cheats and exploits will not be tolerated and will result in a kick/ban. This includes sniper/reload glitch.
- We donât accept players using inappropriate language. We have joined the server to have a good time, donât ruin that.
- Donât stay too long in spectator mode when the server slots are filled up. Spectators or idle players will be kicked to make room. Unless reasons for being spectator are provided.
- Abuse the server for statspadding will result in a ban.
- Stacked up teams will be rebalanced by a vote or our admins. Donât switch back!
- Donât file a complaint for accidental team kills.
- Other clans are not allowed to recruit/advertise on our server.
- Admins can decide to disallow diving on Quarry for a better balance and/or playing experience.
they have been used for long. so far they seem to work (since the server has been the most populated for last years). so, why am i bringing them here ? because everyone has the right to have an opinion. and i am about to present you with mine (i could have done it when i was villa member, but didnt because my presence there was controversial).
-
lacks objectivity. i could give a few examples of the respect i get there, not to mention the âfair atmosphereâ. but lets leave it this way.
-
any rule with the word spawn on it is not objective because where does the spawn end ? in another server i got kicked once for killing an admin right after spawn protection ended. it was ark map and he was defending 1st objective. so, was this a fair decision ? how do you define that the spawn ended and that you can kill an enemy ? btw what is main base ? considering last example, he was in main base ? or the main base is the other one with the anansi ?
-
how do you preceed when someone goes afk ? i still remember the 1st time i didnt call a kick vote for someone afk. a long time ago, when the splatterladder was still on, i was playing ark map on strogg side. after 10 min without 1st objective acomplished, people started to leave from strogg team and it got even more unbalanced. to add to that, i notice someone afk, and decide i cant lose more time (calling the vote). so, thanks to that, things got even worse because next respawn there were 2 afks. if i didnt want to lose time previously, now i had to lose the double amount.
-
many of the times i called a vote kick for intentional teamkilling, the admin came after me, not after the teamkiller. go figure.
-
so why did they bother to get a ranked server ? and what about those players that have their own mental rank, where kills are everything (except in vehicles, or not), using strategies that they know will mostly cause their team to lose game, and at the same time, giving them an huge number of kills ?
-
and if someone leaves after the shuffle ? i know i got kicked for that: shuffle, someone leaves, i went to his slot, and got kicked.
-
complains work better than any rule. example: after losing a map because a well known rocket launcher kept spamming rockets everywhere, i decide to complain every tk. next map, he got 3 complains from the 3 times he teamkilled me. we played a few more maps, and he didnt tk me any more, not one single time !
-
this one is hilarious. not only you can get kicked or banned from simply playing the game (due to all the other rules) this one allows referees to change rules in the middle of the game.
i really miss OMS server
