Always good games on merk!


although I agree with Inspektura.

There would only be 3 reasons you would be kicked, PB being a total PB, if we consider you to be inactive for too long and (of course) if you have broken the rules.

Thanks for the feedback, a kick only lasts 2 minutes, and if we have kicked you by mistake then tell us and I'm sure the admin responsible will apologise

[Loller]

Hate when they kick ppl without warning..

You always will get a reason for when you've been kicked , reading it can give you an understanding as to why the action has taken place , we give warnings frequently. So I dont understand where you and Acko are coming from. Can you elaborate at all? Its all good giving feedback thats seven words in total , but if its ridiculously general and short , how can we target areas you feel we need to improve?

[Acko]

I like MeRk and most of it's admins, but ofcourse not all admins are equal in their job.


The other day I got kicked for ''lameswitching'', while I was playing on Ramiel, USMC in Sgt.VinZ's squad. I died and I got autoswitched to OPFOR, I switched back to USMC ofcourse cause I wanted to play with my squad.

I got kicked.
Finally being able to rejoin after 30 mins due to no reserve slot I asked the admin why he kicked me and he said he saw me earlier at the begin of the round on Insurgent and kicked me cause I was on US.In fact I lost connection in the beginning of the round, I tried to rejoin and when I finally got in again I was on Ins. I decided to play INS for a bit instead of constantly asking/trying to be switched.


The kick was not neccesary, it ruined my game, really frustrating to rejoin and get on the same team again but still I prefer MeRk over other servers. He could of have asked me why I was on the other teams
constantly.

This is annoying ofcourse but I don't mind it, No big deal. I didn't complain about it, I only wrote this down cause you asked why.

I like to play on MeRk!

Well last night on Jabal, I was waiting for a friend to join and was idle on the ship..just messing around.And simply got kicked because of that, yeah I know when the server is full everyone should be in a squad playing the game, but imo you should warn people before kicking them for being idle..I like your server good people and some teamwork.

btw I didnt tried to insult you with my first post, sorry.

I was the admin that kicked you. Check your inbox.

You're putting Muttrah on too often :/ Seeded with Muttrah (as always), then came Burning Sands, server crashed and you put Muttrah on again (with another server with 50 players on Muttrah aswell). Come on.

This. Asad->Muttrah->Burning Sands->some-map-crashing->Asad... happening too often
I know that's how democracy works, but "safe" start can be boring when it used so much.

[=MeRk= BluFFeR]

To be honest gents in the last few days our server seems to have been attack quite alot,A fix is in place and seems to have cured it, that explains the crashes part.

As far as the maps go,get onto our forums LINKY and tell us what you want to play.We are more than happy to play any map and try our best to please you guys who actually play on MeRk, We will listen and we will do I promise you that but if you do not tell us how are we meant to know.

Hope to hear from you all soon,lets us know what you want

[Mongolian_dude]

I agree that Burning sands gets overplayed across all servers in general, including MeRk.

Thankyou for your feedback guys. I would like to reply to a few things that have been commented on.

We warn people 99.9 % of the time before kicking them, for what ever reason. If someone is suspected of being AFK they are warned, then kicked after 1-2 minutes if no response is forth comming. If the person is Afk when the warning is issued but then returns without any action on the map it will seem asthough he is still afk and will then be kicked. If you were kicked without warning please except our apologies, we are only human and mistakes can and will happen.
Being kicked to make room for anyone ( including admins ) should not happen. This will be relayed to all the admins as it is not something that we think is necessay.
Sometimes we will kick people who are not on mumble. Again this is usually after a warning.

Our map list and seeding maps have changed in the last week. We have added more skirmish maps to seed on, so asad skirm isnt always played ( it is the first map on the list and so will always be on first ). We usually wait untill enough players are on before then having a vote for an AAS map. If the server is filling very slowly sometimes the admins on will make the decision to run a map they think will fill it faster. This might not be a map that some idividuals may like but to be fair the admins will have been seeding through that time and will uasually make the correct decision to fill the server.
Burning sands is over played in my opinion but when running the mapvote system some maps will fall under this "what is popular ATM" sydrome. We try to vary the maps to vote for but somertime, somewhere in there, will be burning sands which due to democracy will win its poll

Anyways once again thanks for your feedback fellas

Best server there is by miles. And admins actually do their job fast.

[Tarranauha200]

Could you include INS maps in the mapvotes more often? There is often only AAS and minimod maps.

[_Fizzco_]

Currently MERK is the best server in PR atm, admins are good and the teams are usually balanced resulting in better then average rounds.

Lets just hope this issue with the server ends <3

[Loller]

Thank you very much for the compliments and feedback so far everyone. Tarranhua ill look into us running a few more insurgency maps in our votes, i reckon its in everyones interest to vary up the maps we play and prevent things getting too repetitive. Obviously relies on the public voting for those maps though ^^.

I have to fill a complain here. It just happend 10 minutes ago.

OD-S kept joining the server and unbalanced the teams even more (they were stacked already). We all know they constantly do that on any server, so far not your fault. But what really grinds my gear is that - due that teamstacking- Guys from =GS= getting switched on the other side and not switched back on request is NOT okay. You should have told OD-S maybe to join the underdog side. No, you just let them joining on the BLUFOR side - and said "no." to =GS= on their request. That's definitly not cool.

And then warn atom9 for pointing out exactly this ingame is also not the way to go.

[Loller]

Unless im mistaken your posting in the wrong place to file a complaint.
If you want to file a complaint you should head over to our forums mate heres a link:

http://merkpr.co.uk/

We can discuss this issue further with you there rather than discussing this in this server feedback thread.

Every OD-S player that joined was put on the US team. I know if we were asked to switch we would have. Later on half of us did split on Marlin INS when it became clear that it was extremely unbalanced team wise.

That's why the smart balance is not a good thing in my opinion or at least to some extent. Seriously, as a clanless player it's just terrible, you get autoswitched more than half the time and can rarely instantly switch back, and admins won't switch you not to make the teams uneven which is normal, so it's not really convenient. Not everyone has a clan and wears a tag on PR so the smart balance will always go against us in favor of clan people.

I cannot stress the validity of this statement enough. Sure, there are players I would like to play with and none of us are in a clan together. But we always seem to be getting split up. I find myself never pressing the give up button, even if it is beneficial for the team and the squad for me to respawn - purely because I dont want to risk spending the next 4 minutes waiting to switch back. about 80% of my !r reports are asking to be switched back, which must be such a hassle for admins too.
