ROE Update from EA/DICE

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

Wow. Nice display of ignorance, Switch

GFY gimp. You have no idea what you are talking about. If you owned a ranked server you would think differently about these guys. Almost every ranked server has been reported to them at one time or another. I run a clean server, but was reported by Indian himself for no good reason. Luckily, he has no power WHATSOEVER over privately rented servers.
You defending this ignorance is really making you look stupid. Are you bucking for a job at bf2rs aka(combat studios)? Want to be a BF2RS ADMIN? WHEEEE!!!!

There was outcry. The rule was reversed

If you think that BF2RS had anything to do with the reversal you are sadly mistaken. Enough people bitched and EA/Dice noticed. They TOLD RS admins to revise it. Thats all I am trying to do here. Get this TK punish rule reversed.

My problem is not with all of BF2RS. Stat padders should be reset. They do a good job there. They should keep out of other affairs. Many trusted partners are not even being consulted when RS decides to update the ROE including mine.

Having the punish report script running on the server is a big help.

Please tell me you aren't running 3rd party scripts on your RANKED SERVER gimp. OMFG. From the official EA server settings page

Ranked servers must be entirely "pure" with no customization outside of the default content shipped by DICE/EA.

I like the R2 guys, so I'll leave this one be.

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

I am currently involved in a ranked server.
Infact, I was present when someone made a complaint about said server to BF2RS and Indian Scout came to talk to us about it. I wasn't directly involved in the conversation, but he proved himself to be a very rational guy.

The charge was dropped in short order.

Why not take your case to BF2RS and state it rationally? Be clear about it and back up your arguments with logic. It's true that some elements are being brought down by EA, but I've seen IS go to bat on behalf of the community when he felt is was justified.

Smack talking him just isn't a good idea.

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

It's cleared as not being a problem.
As I said, IS dropped by and had a chat with the senior staff.
It's also not a Python script and thus cannot impact the server in any way. It just displays messages.

You must be kidding me? Right? What do you think tk_punish.py is? You have modified a default PYthon script. Just because the guy who wrote this says it should be ok to use on ranked servers you believe him? WOW. All I can say is WOW.

You're an idot.
This is clearly demonstrated.
Until you learn to comunicate like a grownup, have fun being ignored.

World Of Warcraft isnt that good... i still like diablo better :laugh: anyway if it doesnt harm the server/players in anyway i dont see whats wrong with it

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

I see no problem with it either. There are plenty of scripts out there that would actually improve the game. http://bf2.fun-o-matic.org/index.php/Scripts to name a few. I have tested alot of these and many work perfectly as advertised. The only issue is ATM modifying the .py scripts is a big no no.

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

sv.ticketRatio 100=Boring, it should be set to 500 much more fun then

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

why not 8 for 32?
whats the reasoning there?

lol ur serious? should be 20+ for larger maps so you don't get threads like the one where Mr. 400 point per round was boasting about his new best score - lame. Real gameplay occurs on near full servers...

As far as the python script, if its the one I'm thinking it is, it gives a text message on how many punishes/forgives the person has when the action happens....something EA/Dice should implement - it publishes it for everyone to see who the auto-punishing noobs are...

fun i dont know but very productive, it sure is, the other day i happened to enter a game that had 40 something ppl in forst round and on the second it started with 12 and it maintained with that ammount untill the end, this was a 64 player map of course, i tell ya it took ages but most of the ppl had 170+ scores heheheh one of my clanmates was commander for our wining team and he got 290'something.


but then again, with the time that took we could have made alot more rounds in a norm al server and get more then 300 playing normally XD

Switch we have had this approved by EA to run on ranked servers. You may notice that since then "heaps" of ranked servers run the tkpunish announcement.

Anything is possible, as long as you get something approved by EA they give the thumbs up "before" you attempt to run something then your good to go.

Back to topic.

I really can't see the point of allowing FF off and then you "have" to have tkpunish on. Think about it, if FF is off, then you can't tk anyone can you? :laugh:

It is silly really and sure make it have to be used on EA official servers, which they all do anyway but let the people like us who pay a lot of money per month, in fact we have paid over $2300+ since day 1 BF2 for our ranked server, decide whether or not we want to run tkpunish or not. I think after paying that kind of money we should get a say in this area.

yes i totally agree with you, why dont the ppl that actually waste alot of money for servers have the last word? cause its actually ALOT of money that ppl pay for ranked servers usually, EA is being like a bad server admin wich says "THIS IS MINE AND U DO WHAT I WANT!" they should ban themselves off the ranked servers XD

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

I don't have a problem with the revised ROE. The problem I have is it is abundantly clear that the TK is a HUGE problem in the BF2 world. The best thing EA did was adding the option to turn FF off on mines/clays. The reason this is such a good thing is because of the idiotic punish system. Yes, those people that enjoy ruining other people's games by purposeful tk'ing should be kicked/banned/never allowed to play again. That makes the punish system useful. What makes it idotic is because of accidental tk's...especially with those mines/clays. There is nothing worse then getting 5 tk's because a full apc rolls over you mine and gets blown up, and then having all 5 punish and you get kicked off the server for too many tk's. The skull/crossbones is quite visible for friendly explosives, yet it's like it's ignored. The rule to not have tkpunish off is great of those people who love to go in and tk the entire team. The rule is lacking when it comes to the accidental tk's.
