PRTA EU{1,2} - [CLOSED]

[Wicca]

How are you supposed that community if you don't even expect your admins to be able to take care of players disrupting the gameplay?

Herp. I just thought you meant that we were being disrupted by players. But if we are not being disrupted, how are the admins supposed to deal with players disrupting the gameplay?

And why would I not expect my admins to deal with it?

[xambone]

CO would be more important if the game were going to last 4 hours instead of 1-2.5 hours

[saXoni]

Seriously, an admin's job is to help other players and their stay by warning, resigning, kicking and banning. If they're not capable of that they shouldn't be admins.

This is what I wrote.

Thats your oppinion, as the owner of the server I have a different view.

This is how you replied.

why would I not expect my admins to deal with it?

Apparently you have a different view on how admins should deal with stuff (or not deal with stuff for that matter), and you seem to disagree with me on the matter. So yeah, you tell me why you don't expect your admins to deal with it.

Herp. I just thought you meant that we were being disrupted by players. But if we are not being disrupted, how are the admins supposed to deal with players disrupting the gameplay?

There are no certain players disrupting the gameplay, but there will always be players out there disrupting the gameplay, and when they do your admins are, according to Sweedensniper, too swamped and unable to take care of it.

[Wicca]

I dont think our admins are swamped. Really, they are quite lazy tbh.

[Wicca]

We are doing a revision of our rules, which will be posted here once its finished. It might change somethings that people feel were wrong, but i still feel strongly that people who have the power to warn and remove people. More easily can assume command, due to that power.

This goes along with having some etiquette in dealing with tactics and strategies, as it is a game. And you cant always win. So banning someone for losing is obviously a big nono, and I think our admins can dechipher it as such.

But please do report it if, they do anything like such, or in someway violates the trust.

[Wicca]

We have simplified our rules. Please read the following to update yourself on our server rules.

1. Communication

troublesome meme removed

[Web_cole]

Ok, a) changing your server rules every other week is stupid and is just going to lead to confusion with your players, and probably your admins.

and b)

2.5 Players in the Commander spot are not allowed to dicate what squads should do, the Commander position ingame is only to be used for placing the area attack and using the UAV/Spotting feature.

This is fucking stupid. If SLs don't like the CO there is a goddamn mutiny button. Admins need to stop playing game designer, because apparently they are bad at it.

Shit. Should I change it?

Look, take a chill pill. And let it play out. If its shit ill remove it.

PRTA decided that they want to use the Commander position as a UAV operator position and have the admins do the actual commanding, as an experiment. Ya'll will just have to live with this for now, or complain, as usual, in the PRTA forums. If you believe this change conflicts with the server license, contact the red tags. But cut down on the swearing here.

[Jafar Ironclad]

I'd say, let PRTA try the "commander doesn't command" rule. I know, that sounds very strange coming from me, but I believe in the power of shits and giggles within reason. If they feel like there's a problem, let them try to solve it.

It's a pretty severe change and implication, though, and I'm not sure it'll work myself. It would be wise to revert it if it doesn't help.

I would play on PRTA more often (and thus command for them more often), but PRTA has reserved slots and is outside the US, and CIA doesn't/isn't.

People who lead the teams are admins. People who use the command post use it to man the UAV or call in arty. Its how the game has become.

The thing is, I want admins the deal with problems ingame without having to warn so much. But actually contribute to the gameplay. If you want a reserved slot you can just ask jafar. Anyone in the dev team should have one on all the servers!

Cool. Made a request on the PRTA support forums. Had a hard time finding it, but then realized that google was my friend.

[avskum]

How come the server isn't up?

[Wicca]

Noone seeded it. or the attempt failed. Will try again tommorow.

[Stealthgato]

You should enable VOIP. Now, for example, mumble is messed up and we have no way of voice communicating with squad members. I don't understand why you disabled VOIP.

[Brainlaag]

I don't understand why you disabled VOIP.

To reduce strain on the server and indirectly force people to use Mumble, from what I recall.

[ExeTick]

I disabled VOIP so I dont ctd so often. it worked for me
