Lets not have server restrictions upon release
There are a large number of TFC servers which currently employ restrictions on things such as bunny hopping and in clan servers whole classes are removed such as sniper and pyro. FF will be more accessible so skills such as bunny hopping should be easier for most people to pick up, so there seems like theres little need to disable it. The sniper and pyro are by no means the same as their TFC counterparts so their inclusion in a clan setting needs to be reevaluated upon release.
When servers set up for FF upon release would admins consider not placing server restrictions at least untill the game has been in the wild for a few months? Discuss |

It's futile to post something like this. Server admins are going to do what they want. Hopefully there will be enough servers out there that if you come acros stuff like this you can promply disconnect from it and join a different one.

Let's just hope ppl won't fill empty servers with bots from the start.

Kind of hope not... I realize why bots are useful, like when a server is always empty and you enter it but it usually doesn't, in TFC anyway, keep people for more than ten minutes unless other people show up. |

Personally, I doubt most of that willh appen on release...
Alot of the class restrictions in TFC are to help balance out the game, and unless its one of the beta testers running a server, noone will know said balance, so good server admins won't apply class restrictions are the start (except for maybe snipers, a pub should always have a sniper limit imo, to keep the game from becoming 10v10 sniper wars) I doubt anyone will have a plugin to disable bhopping immediately upon release as well Now, as for classes in clan play... again, only the beta testers and devs know how they play, so restricting them is just as foolish as class limit Last edited by Fjorn; 05-07-2007 at 11:32 PM. |

It worked better when servers were completely empty without bots filling up the space. I'd enter and within a couple of minutes a few people joined.

as ghost said... server OWNERS will do what they want with THEIR servers. it is not up to the FF devs what the server owners do with their servers. if they are paying money to have and own a server, they should be allowed to do whatever they want. want a server ran how you want? buy one.

i started my tfc server. no one wants to come in since there are other server that are busy already. without bots no one will ever come in. when FF comes out i will take out the bots. since it be a new mod alot of players will look for a new server to play on |

The only people that join a server full of bots are usually the ones that don't realise they're bots.

I kinda hate bots.. but what I hate more, is bots with 'realistic' names. Its ok if a server operator wants bots, but I think they should be named [BOT]1 and [BOT]2 etc, so everyone knows they are playing with bots and not being 'tricked' into playing.

no need for having bot in the name |

I think for someone to restrict BHOP in this game they would have to design a plugin to do it first.

The biggest fuckin annoying problem is in TFC servers with bots.. the bots aren't setup to leave when humans start playing.
It's horrible when you've already got 5-6 real people on the server and there's another 5-10 fucking bots in the mix screwin shit up. Grr.. I had to go all the way to the 80s in ping range the other day to find a TFC pub server with humans and no bots. Was an o-t server actually. And it was funny cause some retard was hiding the flag on Casbah, and nobody else had developer on to see from the flag messages that it was him.. And I got kicked for telling him to knock of off.. And the admins were clueless! woooo good times! You guys got some horrible admins, jeeze. :O |

depend on how the server is set up bots will leave
for say if the bot is set at 6 lets say 3 human joins. 3 bots will get and have still 3 bots playing. when 6 human players join. all the bots will be removed. |

Yeah, it's annoying. After 4 or so players are in there, the bots just get in the way.
I know tons of people have in the past and currently avoid servers w/bots. Having it setup like that makes things worse. rip TFC pub scene I guess. |
