Quality of players?

Post by obZen »

Where has it gone, when I used to play 1-2 years ago I had a good time practically every server with any squad, these days I really don't know what's going on. I see people wasting HATs to kill 1 inf walking down a street...

Just now I joined a Muttrah server, first Cobra spawn, the pilot crashes into a Huey on the carrier, the next spawn within 2 minutes of takeoff he gets taken out again by a HAT.

I was flying a Huey and a BDRM attempted to ram me which resulted in him blowing up and me getting a kill, which I thought was pretty funny, at the same time it damaged the Huey...

Then I joined another server, spawned at a FOB on the damn at jabal al burj, I threw a hook to go down, the second I got to the bottom, someone stole my hook, I was kind of trapped in my position, and then I watched him as he tried to hook down a different side, and ended up dying because the hook didn't go all the way down and he tried to jump...stuff like that just makes me frustrated when I want to play, and it's the same everywhere I play.

i know the last event was being tardish, just report people like that, it doesn't happen often i think you just got some bad egg's good servers to play on for rules afaik are :
- hardcore servers
- MERK and UKWF servers
- TG servers
German servers are also good but i don't play them often

The quality of players has never been significantly high, you'll find people are either teamkilling griefers or overbearing armchair generals, with a few in the middle somewhere.

some days, some servers are better, if a server is having a bad day player wise, either someone needs to take charge/ an admin needs to kick people/ you should migrate to a better server.

the best player quality level in terms of capability was .75 imo, alot of newer players have joined since then and continue to join so just bear with them :P

the hook thing is defintely something you want to report to the admin in a calm and reasoned manner, such as on the TG server I'd put !reporting asshatX stealing grapples, acting in a non-team orientated manner, then the admin will handle it from there with warnings/kicks.

I find PR is better enjoyed when you find a server you like and stick with it, making friends of its populace and admins, it helps you work better with them and also means you can get assistance fast.

Any way, welcome back to the PR community, cya ingame :)

There are lots of good players out there, the problem is you don't really recognize the good ones, the good ones go with the flow and play the game they don't stand out and are not memorable. Griefers and such stand out because they do stupid stuff and piss us off. Well administrated servers keep bad players off them and that is the key to having good games and not having to deal with the bad players.

some players always find the caches and hideouts faster than anyone else

maybe it's because they're good.... or there was a one man squad clan guy on insurgent team standing on caches entire round while every other clan member playing on regular army.

seriously,a chopper came from no where and dropped troops on unknown cache and blew it,sometimes a rambo dude drove a truck all the way from regular army base to insurgent weapon cache without running into enemy.

things like these become more and more common on insuegency mode.

Maybe the problem is the times you play?

I know for a fact the times I play have a whopping choice of 2 servers one is a team stacked its ok to cheat if your on the clans team type of place and one is so over admined im afraid to fart incase I get kicked :|

I belive theres a good few of us unable to play because the servers just aint what thay used to be :sad:

Also 100% agree with Rudd on the .75 being the best quility of players days but all those guys left for .........some reason

Also, I recommend you keep an eye out on these forums and other server forums for passworded/special events :)

e.g. TG runs PW nights alot, and posts the information at Battlefield 2 - Project Reality Mod

UKWF might have something this saturday afaik, but I dunno :P

these nights are really great, they aren't generally super duper omg serious, they just eliminate the random griefer problem and encourage teamwork orientated players to come to the server.

Bonjour everybody. :-o

Is it possible to fixe a central rules in all server ? Like no steal vehicules , no APC alone , no baserap etc etc ...

I know for the older gamer of PR it s a respect question and team play to dont steal vehicules and APC alone an the rest... , but perhaps during july and august we have a new gamers?

And they haven't team or play not so long time ?

I propose to my team to fixe a noob server .
Like this we can lurn to the new gamers the rules and attitude's play.

I like to call this server "Noob and Learn" , ok you tell me they have the coop server , but nobody explain to nobody on it.

I think , if we want to have a good game play for the futur , it's not a bad idear to propose how use a HAT , how to use FB , and asset etc etc .

For the rest , i think the admin have to do theym job , i know french server have not good reputation but i try to fixe a promess , when i come from hollidays i try to fixe my server with a good rules and good team play like my friends german and english , and the HOG :razz: ..



Hope you like my proposition .

Those are reportable offenses on that server I believe.
If you see somebody griefing or TK or w/e and you DO NOT report it, then you are part of the problem.
PR Admins work very hard to deal with idiots but there are so many levels of idiocy possible in this game that they need the players to help.
@ OP...Get in a squad.
It is not the answer to all the problems but if you aren't in a working squad the chances of having a good game go down significantly.
The other side of that is that if you see somebody having some problems, give them a hand.

In my experiences =HOG= admins do more harm than good.

Gamepolis has always a good sphere, though when you speak Russian ofcourse, and had no problems at all playing on that server. Other good server in my opinion are HOG 24/7 Muttrah, MeRk and some of those others UK-based servers.
