All Rankings Up since the Last meeting:
Hardcore Rush: 45th in the World, 25th in US
Conquest: 139th in the World, 52nd in US
Rush: 159th in the World, 58th in the US

Idle Kicker:
All servers have Idle Kick disabled, which means you can Idle afk in the server without being kicked. This also means admins will need to be on the lookout for AFK players and warn/kick accordingly, just like in other games. Try not to seed a server with more than 4 idlers, too many and it turns people away.

Team Kills:
The Hardcore Rush Rotation server has a Team Kill Kicker setting activated, currently its in the testing phase and is set to auto kick anyone who has more than 4 or more teamkills in one second, at a minimum rate of 4.33 tk's per minute or anyone who reaches 7 TK's in a round. It should be readily apparent when theres an intentional TKer in the server, if they try to bypass the TK plugin by killing people every so often to not up their TK rate then follow WKB as necessary, but this is in place to make that a non-issue 90% of the time.

Modifications:
Maps can be modified with more tickets (i.e. Atacama Desert having 350 tickets), not all will be modified, again this is another testing phase and has barely been touched. We'll also modify Rush maps as necessary but we're in no hurry to fix what isn't broken. We're also experimenting with respawn timers, although no changes have been made yet.

Spawn protection is being worked on, we'll announce when its up and running and give you details on what the consequences are for killing someone in those protected areas. It will only be applied to Conquest maps because in Rush Mode "spawn camping" (read: sneaking behind enemy lines) is part of the game.

The language filter has been disabled, this doesnt mean swearing is allowed its just to more easily identify what is being said and to admin accordingly. Admins read over the admin 101 forum thread to view the latest eGO rulings on language.

Well you've certainly made our lives a lot easier Duality. Now I can seed to my heart's content and won't warn people who said "damn" and not other 4 letter words XD
 
Awesome! Thanks Duality, this should balance out things nicely!

(P.s. it's July 2, not June 2 :P )
 
Great job Duality, the spawn point kill protection will be SWEAT... you can stay there tracing things :-D
 
OP Updated under Modifications.

Tickets on conquest maps have been modified by default from DICE, heres the break down...

Arica Harbor - 350
White Pass - 250
Laguna Alta - 200
Panama Canal - 200
Laguna Presa - 200
Atacama Desert - 250

some will be modified once a reliable (meaning permanent) setting can be placed. Currently it reverts every time the server is restarted, same goes for the respawn timers.
 
After some manual editing of the servers config file here are the new ticket counts for Conquest:


Atacama Desert - 250
Laguna Presa - 150
Panama Canal - 170
White Pass - 150
Laguna Alta - 100
 
More great work by duality!

I like those new ticket numbers, they should help gameplay on those maps. I'm looking forward to the spawn protection - Reminds me of INS slightly.
 
Where'd they go?

I can't find the =(eGO)= 24/7's on my fav's. They're greyed out. Does this mean that they're down, outdated, moved or what???
 
Make sure all your options (HC, PB, EA, Full, Empty, etc) are turned off, and try again.
 
Another Update:

Team Killer Kicker for the Hardcore Rush server has been changed. The rapid Tk settings were too rapid and not catching people, its been set to 5 in a round, weather accidental or not. Its just a kick so admins, if they come back and do it again go ahead and ban accordingly. And dont freak out if you get kicked for accidentally bombing your squad, just join again.
 
Rankings update:
Hardcore Rush: 23rd in the World, 13th in US
Rush: 151st in the World, 52nd in US
Conquest: 161st in the World, 54th in the US

Hardcore rush has broke into the top 25 in the world and top 15 in the US, Rush and Conquest continue to jockey for position around the 150 range. Great job everyone we need to keep it up, maybe we can get them all in the top 100 for the world. Show BC2 what eGO is all about.
 
That is my mission!

Lately all of the servers have been packed out with queues in the single digits - awesome.

Well then, let's try to get those queues into the double digits!

Take screenshots of any high-number queues you see (above 5)!
 
I took the liberty of updating the servers just now, when they emptied out for no reason, to a new intermediate server release which is supposed to fix any "admin commands not responding" issues. So let me know.
