Why the **** would you sit in a server for half an hour doing jack ****, I'm sorry but you're a dumb ***.
If you don't like how a server is run, then start your own and stfu, kthnx.
Im not even going to reply to that.
IMO all this which map is good enough to be on whitelist and which not is kinda witch hunting and it reminds my youth when komunists were controlling everything and ppl couldn't just do what they wanted or were put in prison or killed if they did,
because right now it seems like this whitelisting and taking of maps that are IMO as good as others, pissing of a lots of pll and killing the game and entire clans are leaving the game including mappers and those are the ppl that would recommend the game to friends (new customers),but now they won't.
Well its up to you Tripwire its your product and you guys see the numbers not me (or ppl that plays on my servers) how many new customers you getting,but i believe there is way more ppl abandoning the game than buying it(when i look on server browser 90%of the servers are empty all the time)
Right now once again the majority of the players is being punished because of the minority and the majority will slowly become minority because if they would be forced to play maps that are not fun for them to lvl up they WILL leave
I just don't like to see this game to die
Seriously, why do you have to color your posts? To make sure they are noticed? Its extremely hard to read...
The only thing we are doing here is finding exploits and requesting them to be fixed. If the map authors refuse to fix their maps, they will be de-whitelisted and thats no longer our problem. However, you are still able to play the maps, you just cant level up on them.
Thats only fair.
No
well, for this part ,all i can say if you don't have admin or kick is not available in vote leave the server and let the guy waste his time not yours. I have no idea why would you sit there and wait
Sigh..
Let me summarize how it typically goes:
1. I open the server browser
2. I notice theres only 2 suicidal servers that are actually running a decent map, and not a grinding map like doom2
3. The other server is full or empty
4. I join the other, just to notice some guy is exploiting
5. I call a kickvote, but it doesnt pass because either the rest of the team are noobs and dont know how to kickvote, or they are also using the same exploit and therefor dont want to kick each other.
6. Im forced to wait until the wave ends, or just quit the game
7. I leave the game on and go do something else meanwhile
8. I come back after 10min but the guy still havent killed all specimens
9. After another 10min I finally join up
10. Next wave, the exploiters fail to reach their camping spot and end up dead
11. Im alone, trying to take out 2-6 man waves alone
12. I die too
13. Aaaand then they vote another exploitable map on
well if you guys are some sort of official ,why don't you get your own server?Or why don't you get admin rights on official tripwires servers,so you can kick the grinders
Well idk how many of you is in the "KEPT",but if its there only 6 of you it would cost you only about $2 a month
i don't believe someone that also pays for his server runs ONLY exploitable maps ,but i can't be certain since i really don't play on other servers (it just seems stupid to me, someone would pay money to run server like that,if he can grind in solo for free)
I wasnt talking about KEPT testing sessions there duh, why would we go test exploits on a public suicidal server? No, we have a passworded server with the right settings of course.
I was talking about my own attempts to have some fun in the game, but its being ruined by these cheap exploiters.
Well i hope the maps will get fixed too and all the maps will be exploit free,but i also hope if the mappers moved on, to some other games or if you can't contact them ,we as players don't end with 2-10 maps that are whitelisted,because than the game would be screwed and boring to play 10 maps over and over again, because that would piss of more ppl than just me and probably would kill this game
because right now it looks like there is more maps taken off then on
If the mapper disappears, someone else can always do the work for him, just giving him the credit. Maybe KEPT can work on fixing maps aswell in the future, I dont know. Its always a bit touchy subject when it comes to editing someone elses creations..
We have set up a new system tho, which allows map makers to fix their maps before we de-whitelist their previous one (which contained severe exploits). So basically, even tho the map has exploits it will stay on the whitelist UNTIL the new version is submitted, and then we simply replace it. Thats assuming the map can be fixed within a week or two.
