Experimental low-level autokicker

[Deadbolt]

i think it happens both ways, noobs not looking at filters, and their arrogance. ive seen a lvl 1 on suicidal and i remind them this is suicidal and they should play on a lower difficulty. theyre response is that they like it to feel real even though the die in first 30 seconds and proceed to rage quit

i think it's more the ignorance/arrogance of new players who think the game is going to be a cakewalk and join a suicidal server thinking they'll have no problem surviving....til they get killed after only 20seconds

Also known as Teenage Invincibility Syndrome. They think they're good enough for Suicidal because they think they're good enough for anything.

They're wrong.

Some of them are. I'll take a level 1 who knows how to aim and work with the team over an ignorant level 6 any day. I always give them a chance to prove themselves before voting to kick them.

Hi,

I've deployed an alternative low-level kicker on the following server:

204.45.15.59:7907

The server is in the US, in Woodstock, IL.

It's running Suicidal/Long, and has a minimum level set for 4

This kicker requires less infrastructure, and if it works well, I'll be looking for volunteers for a wider test.

Hi,

I've implemented a high-level autokicker version on the beginner servers for GSCOL.

Also, any server admins interested in this should see

Pros
- It makes people happy that low levels aren't playing suicidal

Cons
- It would kick a player if it changed to a lower level
- If it made them stick to one class for the whole game... that's player restriction and would never fly
- Helping your friends with dmg scale perks on harder modes would be impossible
- Rage because most people don't read server titles
- Rage because Beginner it way boring and people don't want to be forced there
