Ranked / Unranked Server setup

Post » Fri May 03, 2013 11:05 pm

I'm not too good at servers administration/Rcon/setup but i don't undestand why is so dificult for Dev's to fix Rcon bugged comands (like kick time ) and why are not allowed too many changes to a ranked server. Practicaly is not autokick/ban for players who don't respect server rules on a ranked server (admins have realy hard life to make this rules respected and on many servers admin don't even kick any more , they ban directly - useless to kick someone if his back in 10 sec). I think Crytek should give more free hand to server owners to coustomize haw they think better their servers keeping at the same time the ranked status . I'm sure gamesas veterans and server owners can give better explanations ...

Ranked is supposed to be competitive, but almost most all the competitive games are on unranked.

Ranked is casual and unranked is for matches.

Problem Crytek?

The borderline betwin ranked / unranked is too small :( . Admins don't have liberty on the coustomization of a ranked server and this make it uncompetitive . I see a server with a hy score limit , posibility to pass to spec mode and autokick for some loadout . Was a awsome mach of 40 minutes ( and i don't like standard but was awsome ) . When next mach start we was left only 5 from 16 players becouse the others see was not ranked. Its a pity :( .

Because ranked doesn't let you change enough settings to make it properly competitive.
The only real reason why the whole server ranking thing exists is because of the stupid "progression" (*cough*grinding) system

Its exactly what i'm speacking about. Admins should be alowed to do more changes to their servers , to make them more competitive and mantain the ranked status.

Came on Crytek , why its so dificult ?

I don't think this is difficult at all. This seems to be purely political decision.

Edit: I have read the original post - "autokick/ban for players who don't respect server rules on a ranked server". Would you really want to have a game with the ability to kick/ban people for the loadout they use? I can imagine myself that I would grab some default loadout if I'm about to go play some game I've never touched before. And if I would be banned, that would be super strange for me. Would you really want Crysis to act like this?

Autokick for who have unalowed weapons or loadout can be verry usefull. If a server have a rule like no laser , no scar a player should be automaticaly kicked out in the moment he choose / use that weapon or loadout. Every player have the base loadout and the 5 coustom loadout , its impossible they don't have load that suit that server rules. Think too at CvsR , are servers with rule no OHK weapon (bow/gauss) , lol , did you ever try to play when is no admin online? To votekick someone out and in 10 sec to be back ? And again, +again ,+again...once we kick a guy 14 times in 2 mach , i need to contact the admin to ban him . And the votekick work only in good days , becouse if there are more (3,4 ) who use unalowed weapons they vote NO and is no way to kick them.
I was thinking at a sistem like in BF3 or other games : you used what you are not alowed then you get automaticaly kicked with message "kicked for X loadout use.". And realy is not Crytek who act like that are the players who don't CARE to respect a server rules who act like that. And let's be serious , a good and fair player alweis read what is at map load becouse all now there can be server rules. Fair player don't mean only not to use cheats , means to act with responsability and to respect others choice like you want other to respect youre's. Insist on missrespect and bad acting and ,yes , there the ban stay .


P.S. We have a server on CvsR who is administrated with CryLeague tool . At the bigining of a mach and in time of it , its a mess with big Yellow who say " NO BOW , NO GAUSS , USE OF UNALOWED WEAPONS WILL RESULT IN KICK OR BAN ". Some days ago we ban more of 20 people in 2h . The ban was the last resource becouse first there was the worning , then the kick , then they came back with the same weapons and more with bad linguage too ( something like WiAiTiH TiHiE FiUiCiK U WANT I USE WHAT THE FiUiCiK I WANT ) and there they got banned , lifetime banned and don't came to tell me is not right to do it.

P.S.2. And what about a ranked mach with 1000 kills limit , or no time limit at all ? Ranked mach with forced weapons or loadouts ? Custom the server haw you want , but keep it ranked ;) not bad...

I know what you mean. I'm tired of countering some specific loadouts myself. But really, imagine what opinion will have absolutely new player that has zero experience with Crysis when he joins the server and he's banned. He doesn't know what is SCAR, he doesn't know what laser does, he knows basically nothing about the game. He will most likely stop playing immediately.

You're saying that it is problem to play CvR because of Bow and Gauss. Well, I'm not surprised :-) But this is not something that should be fixed by banning people because they are using that loadout. It should be fixed by either adapting those weapons for CvR or removing them or ...

But it is so stupid to ban people because of their loadouts. Yes, when the time comes and Crytek stops supporting this game, I'm afraid that it'll be the only solution (sadly). But as long as there are people that can do something about it, this community should be trying to convice them to bring us intelligent solutions, not those most straight-forward ones.

Regarding the other things - longs matches, 1000 kills gap, etc... I would like to see ranked servers with those settings as well. And as I said before, I'm quite convinced that it's very easy to do.

I put autokick/ban , the all thing is haw someone give interpretation.
Its natural a ban for the loadout is not neccesary if there is a autokick who work.
Its natural too that if the autoadmin reccord he kick a player (with a more hy lv/status) for a certain number of times with the same reson , the autoadmin get tired too ;) and he can ban the specific player.
Its natural too that if a player get kicked by autoadmin for realy many times from a server then are 2 explanation : 1-the player is realy stupid and he deserve a ban in this case ; 2-the player try to bypass the autoadmin and again he deserve a ban ;)
Now realy , i put bad autokick/ban , the right way is only autokick (with working cooldown rejoin time).
I don't see the problem for a new gamer who get autokicked from a server. Even if he don't now the reson he will dicover first or after. Since then he will join other servers and learn like we all do.

Crytek need to get more flexible , for many reason this game is going dead easy , easy... I love this game like many players... Crytek give us the possibility to live up a little the play. PPLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE............


P.S. Crytek look around , the world is in Crysis , stop using politics who svcks....loooollllll

the problem is , they come with level12 , but they aren't level12
because they do most of killstreak .

in real , they have re-made a new account ;)

but crytek don't see what's happen on the servers all nights and days .


i say it loud ,
i never go anymore on other modes than hunter so long the staff don't fix modules / weapons / and ping response .
