When starting up a server, don't rage quit.

[mad pistol]

This morning, we attempted to start the new 1000tkt Op Metro server. During that process, it became obvious that one team had an advantage over the other. Because of this, there were at least 4 members of this community that simply "rage quit" They did not voice this in server, but they did voice this in chat on vent.

Simply put, this is unbecoming of an edge gamers member. When we are starting up a server, work on starting the server, not your KDR. That means if one team is heavily favored, and you're on that team, swallow your pride and switch teams. This will keep the server active and growing. Nobody wins when people rage, especially members of this community.

Also, when starting this server, you'll find that your points per minute will skyrocket due to the lack of players and more tactical play style of a smaller server. During the first 10 minutes, I acquired nearly 4000 points on that map, and that was with about a 1.2 KDR on the losing team. You should NEVER for any reason rage quit in a situation like this, even if you're on the losing team.

Please keep this in mind in the future.

I just left that server a few minutes ago, but not out of rage. I'm still getting random 2 minute punkbuster kicks on our servers and got ejected.

I wasn't accusing anyone of doing this. In your case, that's an understandable scenario.

IMO op metro is the best map there is, especially with rush.
None of the sides doesnt really got advantages, you just need to know how to play that map.

I dont understand why anyone would quit, it still records it as a loss.

rage beats all

bookmarked metro server. they are like real easy points. my only concern would be 1000 tickets. game is still far from stable...it crashes a lot...and losing all that points would make me a bit cranky lol

isnt there also a "quite" stat that shows the amount of times you quite out of a game?

 

[Varibash]

I join that server then the "losing" side had like 400 tickets left, even if the teams are imba, you can still rack up a huge amount of point, I just finished a 20K point game on that server and I was on the "losing" team. Just play your cards right and regardless of how well the team is doing, you can still racket up a huge amount of exp points.

Yeah, it gets really annoying losing a lot, but it'll happen and you just stick to your guns.
I was on a HC Conquest last night and we were losing almost every game, but I racked up points and achievements, so fair trade off.

 

[Boo-Yeah!!]

I got 3 medals on one round one time and got a high score of 47000+. I have seen people get MVP and only get like 3 kills because they just run around reviving people like crazy. Its a great way to level and to hone your aim because the few times when the russians get down past B into the tunnels are closing in on C there is some good places to get some sniper practice in. ITs also one of the few maps where team cohesion and working together really pays off and is crucial to win. Especially on the US side.

Is our 24/7 metro server a hardcore or normal one?

 

[Vertago]

I defiantly agree with this thought and sort of because of this issue and balance of teams, we are debating on whether we should do a trial run of the active auto team balance. Basically it actively checks if the teams are even and if they are not then it will switch the person who last joined on the opposing team to the team with the least people to balance the server.

Pros:
Teams will always be even in #s

Cons:
The plugin-in will switch the last joiner whether he is alive or dead (but you will not gain a death)
Squads will be separated.

Thoughts? Comments? Concerns?:mellow:

I like that idea, since it keeps people from trying to switch to win. However, it is detrimental if a player has just joined and immediately is moved to the team getting steamrolled.

Thank you eGO Leadership, Council, and most of all Lefty and Shorty.

I just quit a game. Mainly because there is no management on and the entire other team was in our uncapped spawn wasting us. I asked them to leave and they didn't.

An Unmanaged server is a hell hole. I guess I'll go watch tv or something instead.



...and no, I did not vent my frustration in chat.

Did you contact an admin about this?

This is one of those situations where you get an eGO admin to help you. Coming here and venting your frustration doesn't help us.

 

[bodayga]

i think we deffinitly need team balance :thumbup:. if a person wants to join their friends they can wait until someone leaves or next map :crying:. also helps mix up the ego players from totaly stacking on one side and dominating server . even teams are a must on these maps. the always give one side the upper hand as it is.

questions: can admins tun it on and off, when there is a admin on ? maybe they can turn it on and off upon requests ?

 

[Asuryan]

Vertago I would think you should try it our in bad company 2 servers like pensive suggested just to kind of test it out

 

[Sexy Smexy]

I dont understand why anyone would quit, it still records it as a loss.

It depends how far in the map/tickets you are... If you quit early it doesn't record the game. Hence why alot of nabbies and baddies out there have a very high quit % along with a high win %.

 

[AoiMaiden]

I actually end up rage quitting sometimes. But it looks like I ragequit a lot due to the fact that in 10 boots of the game, one will be stable. And then I start raging from all the crashes and then RAEGQUIT.

Do I think its unbecoming?

No, not really. I mean I get frustrated at crashes more than getting camped, but either way, if you're frustrated by something, walking away isn't a bad option.

If they weren't being douches in chat or server, and just left, I dunno, I just can't see the complaint in that.

My 2 cents
