Servers with Abusive/Hacking/Boosting Admins

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 3:11 am

Some people probably have the experience of joining a server with an abusive admin that kicks/bans people when they do well. Some admins are both abusive and hacking, some are just boosting.
I think we should make a list of these servers so we can avoid them as much as possible.

I'll start with the owner of the "24/7 Lighthouse #1" server.
Their admin has energy hacks, and if you're someone smart enough to use nanovision to kill him while he's hacking, he WILL ban you. I already know several decent players that got banned because they were pwning the admin even with his hacks on. The admin is not always online, apparently, so the server's still playable when he's not around.
Unfortunately, I cannot name the hacking admin since we have a policy here that protects them.

He also has several other servers with the same name, such as "24/7 Lighthouse #2" or "24/7 Lighthouse #3." How many of them are there, I'm not sure.

Note: I realize that posting boosting servers will let people get the wrong idea, so they'll just check this thread for boosting servers to boost. But hopefully we're posting these so Crytek would do something about it.

Current list:

Abusive & Hacking Admins:
24/7 Lighthouse #1
24/7 Lighthouse #2
24/7 Lighthouse #3

Abusive Admins:

Boosting Admins:

Since all the servers are dedi, doesnt that mean that all of them are hosted by companies and stuff?

Then how do admins kick/ban/boost if you do well if they can lose their jobs or patnership?

No, you can rent a server no matter who you are, as long as you're willing to pay the money to keep the server up.

And if companies were hacking this game and preventing Crytek from doing anything, well this game is screwed anyway, if it's not already pretty dead.

I've heard of people saying that the MP is dying pretty fast. My modules for an example were reset to level 1 from a glitch and i am a noob amongst pros....stupid if you ask me.

On topic: I havent found any admins to boost infact i don't know how to tell if there is an admin playing..

If you see a guy gong 20-0 and he's legit, but all of a sudden he's out of the game, chances are there's an abusive admin around. You don't need to identify the admin, even if you did you can't post his name here because there's a policy here that won't let you post other people's names, I think.
So just tell us if you see one of those messed up servers.

With all the present bugs and hackers, this game's dying faster than ever. Abusive admins don't help this game a single bit, although compared to the other problems this seems trivial. Well, it's better to iron things out starting with the small things.

Well, i can't report such a server since i don't know, but i've seen servers forcing you to play by removing or setting the voting for a server to extremely low since when i finish the current game and see my awards i won, it immediately starts the new match thus making you lose a match by qutting in game. But i don't have any names.

Oh yeah those servers are annoying as hell too. I guess we should add that to the list, since it's a list of servers that we should avoid as much as possible. That is, as soon as we get some names.

Some people just join the games without looking at the server name, so this isn't really a fast growing thread or anything... But at least we got 3 servers down on the list, I certainly wouldn't want to play in any of that admin's 24/7 Lighthouse servers.
You gotta be a real turd to hack, and still get owned by legit players, and then just abuse your admin powers. What a load of 5h1t, eh?

He could have easily gotten disconnected. It happens more often than abusive admins.

If you see anyone with less than 10 ping, then you can be rest assured that he is an admin.Yesterday i was palying in fragnetics.com singapore server[Officail] when a dude with like 3 ping was boosting in capture the relay game.He was admin for sure.

Hmm that is the case sometimes, but then it's not absolutely always the admin. I usually get around 10-40 ping, and I don't own any servers. I just have a decent connection, and unlike those d0u(hebags that play in servers that give them 150-400 ping to annoy everyone, I always join servers that would give me as less ping as possible.

But well, it's a start, at least that's a lead.

For example: Capture the relay --> a few players sit around the relay and one takes it, drops it, another takes it, drops it again, other player takes it, drops it, ......and so on....they don't kill each other, they just gather points.

So I'm guessing that gives them quick exp?

I've been to 24/7 Lighthouse #1 & 2 server before. I haven't encountered anyone abusing the system or kicking/banning people. Most of the time, I was doing very well, especially with a pump shotty.

Aye. I once joined a Server where four player were boosting.
Everyone of them had around 10.000 points just trough carrying the relay. Not even one kill.

Ah OK, now I understand ;P

Sometimes while waiting for players on my server, somebody joined and asked "Don't kill, pls"

I: "wtf, don't kill pls, so what are you doing here"
He: .... - and left the server

LOL

... so obviously he wanted to boost XP ... BUT NOT ON MY SERVER !!! :)

Yeah, like I said, the admin doesn't seem to be online all the time, so the server's still playable when he's not around.

I've seen that retarded admin in Lighthouse #3 myself, it's probably the same guy for #1 and 2 too, or at least we can tell they're associated. Exact same name except for a different number at the end.

It's just a list of servers we should AVOID AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Not telling you to not play it at all. Cause I'm pretty sure Crytek won't do anything about it so those 3 servers are probably going to stick around for a loooong time. So I play in those when I want to play Lighthouse (one of my favs) very badly if there's no other options available. You can count on it that I'll leave the moment I see a sign of a hacker or that abusive hacking admin, though.
