I feel there is a need for more people with power on this server, as i have been on many times, where there has been many hackers, team killers, and immature people, just breaking rules. In fact, i was on today, and there was just hackers, people trying to piss you off, by jacking your car for no reason, even when your on the same team, and people that are breaking the rules, by driver drive bying, etc. Maybe, im not sure, that this is due to the lack of European people, that have the power to /kick. I think there needs to either be an increase in the Admins or Testers activity, or and increase in the amount of people that will be on regularly. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that the other Admins or Testers can't deal with the people, they sure can. But, I think there should be more Europeans with power too, as usually, there isn't any Admins on in the day, when I am playing for example. Having no Admins on to stop these people, just creates frustration, and stop the enjoyment in the game. This could lead to a loss of players or more people hacking, after all, "If you can't beat them, join them." Thankyou in advance. Alex.
Yeah, I had this problem with hackers yesterday too, it forced me to /q in the end. We'll just have to wait and see what happens, the tester applications are open at the moment though, so get yourself one sent in .
We're in the process of trying to gather up more testers and/or administrators on the server. Right now we're lacking the amount of testers at this point. I get where you're coming from tho, how it can be annoying to the point where you want to log off. Right now, we're trying to be more organized with everything we do around the server. And for now, we have to wait it out until we get more dedicated people to help administrate the server.
It's always been an issue that we lack admin/tester power at certain points of the day. We're human, we have stuff to do and all have a certain time when we go on through-out the day. Like Aero said we're working on gathering more staff from timezones and such to make shifts or something to happen.
Alright, this is an issue, but like Aero said, we are still in the process of adding new testers. Go ahead and apply if you think you meet the requirements : Tester Application. Oh and if see a hacker, don't hesitate to use the Report Player Section with the proper evidence: Report Player Section. Solid evidence (screenshot) will be the best, just hit the F8 button.
You just need to add some around the basic timezones that ain't covered. E.g GMT+ 9.30 through to GMT+12.. Cause when us Kiwis/Aussies play there's rulebreakers and no staff team online. Soo..
As I said earlier, if there is any hackers on the server and no admins / testers online, query me on IRC (#focotdm or #foco) channels. I will get on the server ASAP.
Exactly. It's not up to us to bring in more testers/admins, it's up to you guys to volunteer. We have a report player section too for a reason.
Tsar, you can't be all the time logged in, waiting for cheaters to appear. I mean, all users needs to have a routine, which couldn't be less easier as it is now. Blizzie already mention what and how to do, so follow these steps and we will have less cheaters, rule breakers on server.
Understand your pain, as I'm commonly online during these hours ;(, always someone fucking about breaking rules, or hacking.
Mmm, it annoys me too, only because i feel like i could be stopping those people, just pisses me off that i can't do anything to stop them :/
I'm an aussie admin and I'm probably at my computer just as much as you are, if I'm not in the server I'm always on IRC, query me and I'll join as I've done on numerous occasions.
