Farming HLX stats

[Cyanide Suprise]

I dont do this, i normally just take a flag whenever I can....even if it means running (or trying to run) across a steady stream of .30 cal bullets and some nades shellshockin me lol

Farmin' stats is basically, for example, capping flags for points on the server (per say an empty server). Anyways by capping flags, I mean that in order to trigger HLX Stats you need 4 people active to do so.

As an example 2 team mates on Allies, 2 on Axis, they decide to get together at one of the flags (whether it be Allies or Axis side) take turns and such to cap for points. I hope I explained it clearly enough.. excuse my poor ability to state things simply.

Exactly Time, we just had some players do it and we have 18 pages of events in HLX of flag caps. Thats 450 flag caps at 6 pts a cap. You do the math, thats 2700 pts in a matter of a less than 20 mins. Anyone that thinks this is ok you should really check your priorities about this clan and what it means.

what constitutes farming?

what constitutes farming?

Read through some of the posts in this thread, there are examples here. Farming is any questionable way to gain pts. Swapping flag caps with other people without killing each other is one example. Exploits in our strand server, like going into the water and changing class to keep from dieing. Comitting suicide, map exploits things of that nature.

*sarcasm* Nobody would ever do that!

Dontcha hate it when idiots do stuff like that? I personally just want to play the game and accept the stats that come with my skill level. That gives me a more secure idea of where I stack up next to other people.

I don't beleive it is, its sad it even has to be stated in a mature gaming community. Cheating in any fashion is not acceptable.

I agree, but I'm confused. Why would anyone do this in the first place? Points aren't valuable except as ranking and who wants a ranking based on cheating? It wouldn't make you feel good to be declared the winner of a race if you hadn't run so why would cheating to 1st place in a contest with no prize be worth anything?

i hope killing novices in dod:s doesnt count as farming xD thats how i mainly get my points up =D

The cleaner the game the more fun it is and I just love capping their first it makes them panic a bit.

I can see why people would do it but its just not right, if you get points by cheating what fun is that?

 

[SleepyMe]

I am in full agreement that this type of cheating is unacceptable, but I would like to add a side note: I would sure love to kill those that do and get some free points, because it most likely means that they'll be losing those points fast to anyone that plays above average.

In other words, I'm not sure what the cheating really does for them. Look good temporarily on the server rankings? In the end, they just let us take their points for free when they really do play. Either that, or, they just never fire the guns ever, except cap flags by taking turns and getting high rankings that are completely meaningless.

Then why do they even bother playing? I really don't understand what the logic is behind doing all this. In any case, Annihilator, you are one hard one to take down, but I'm sure we'll keep killing each other in sewers. See you down there!

Edit: Never mind...

I dont do stuff like this... its pointless and takes away the fun. I have done 1v1 knife fights but I personally doubt that counts.

 

[ZombieMarkTwain]

Good idea to have an Admin in the Kalt server then Bcause i was in there about 25 min ago and ppl were farming like crazy

 

[VizierKane]

hahah... i did not know that taking a flag was worth 6pt. I should try to get at flags instead of sitting in the back sniping ppl!! lol.. I hope none of you even try to do this!, Even if you just whant to see how it feels like!...lol

Well the issue is there are several that have been on top who cheat by changing class to avoid being killed. That way they never lose points but dieing but gain pts for each kill. Also there are some who will arm a bomb, change class and then pick up more bombs rather than taking the time to go back to the TNT dump.

HLX has been bad for the game it was never intendet to be a farm game but a sprint and shoot game .......... YAY i got killed for 25 points by a dude thats 0-2-223 now i hawe to kill 25 worth 2 points:blink:

 

[BraveLittleToaster]

Wow, that's just appalling, I didn't even know you could do this, for that matter I don't know why you would.

(BTW Annihilator I am often also found in the sewers lol Nothing wrong with that ;-) )

Hopefully we can find a way to knock this off, I'm sure the honest members of eGO will do what we can to help catch these people.

BLT

I agree with B Man I think this should be on the MOTD. I also agree that we should not HAVE to put it up but we have the no cursing information but people still do it. So I think putting it in the MOTD would just cover any questions and discourage non members and some members from using this form of cheating.

 

[Animal_Mother]

lol. ya instead of constantly killing me with a pistol

 

[KrzyMoke]

I second Waffle, or is it Third, Fourth Hmmm Whatever it is, I'm with the team.

 

[Nonarac]

I agree 100%.... Over the years of playing many games, my dislike for this type of stuff has grown strongly... Anyway, perhaps putting it in the MOTD?
