All I Want In Life

[StenO1]

All I want in life is a server that is:
over 32player
hardcore
no m320, rpg, smaw
no vehicles
grand bazaar (idk about spelling)

This is it. can we try it out sometime? i'd never leave the server.....

I don't think the EULA allows servers to restrict weapons.

While a server like this may work out, in my opinion it is far too specific. To your tastes, a server with these settings may be great, but the key to long-standing success is flexibility. Also, the EULA does specifically prohibit the restriction of weapons. We could do an event like this sometime?

 

[Tumblin]

I personally not a fan of huge servers. Too many explosions that lead to death.

 

[Leftenent]

I don't disagree with you in your ideal server, however, the EULA does not allow us to forbid weapons on ranked servers. I know there are dozens out there, but they are all technically in violation of the EULA and can get yanked by EA/DICE at any time. That's not a risk we are willing to take.

I don't think the EULA allows servers to restrict weapons.

Yet just about everybody is ignoring this and restricting m320, rpg/smaw, shotguns and even grenades(lol...people actually restrict grenades).

Dice isn't doing anything about it and this is the reason why Restricted weapon 24/7 metro is FULL around the clock.

This has been the definition of BF3 for the last month and a half.

I take it, that it is like when they told us in BF2 that the 1.41 patch would end dolphin diving and reloading while running?....yea it never worked

Your requested settings would list the server as "Custom". We have tried this before, not with your exact settings but something similar and it did not work. For about 2 weeks or so we had a custom server that was Hardcore, No Minimap and No HUD, Infantry Only. Sure a lot of eGO members loved these settings (Myself included) as it was reminiscent of BC2 HC without the Minimap but the server did not fill because of how Battlelog classifies servers. "Custom" servers will never work unless a very large community of pubs is built around it. I think on one day that were trying to fill it we had maybe 20 eGO members try to start it up and no pubs joined for hours. Also regarding weapon restrictions, we have discussed this quite a few times and until DICE/EA publicly changes the EULA to allow weapon restrictions, we will allow every weapon in the game to be used by players.

guess ill have to just keep dreaming :/

This is a misconception, read this tweet from a gameplay designer at DICE -

From the wording of the rules I understand that you are not allowed to limit the use of weapon which basically means that a server cannot run a code that does not allow a player to choose a specific weapon. For example you cannot run a code that restrict people from selecting USAS for their kits. You should be able to choose any weapon but whether that weapon is allowed to be used on that server is upto the admins.

However you can limit the use of weapons by applying autokick features that many servers currently run. Popular onces being knife only/ no explosives or no autoshotguns.

 

[Reylaark]

It would be fun to try Op Metro without smaws, rpg's or 320's but autokick doesn't seem like a very clean solution.

I don't know much about server side administration, would it be very difficult for DICE to code in a mechanism to toggle weapon choices? Not sure I understand their logic for not doing so :confused1:

Are we allowed to pick and choose which vehics to allow?

 

[LilShortstuf]

Why are we discussing this when our 4 servers are doing well?

+1

If you want you can probably find a non ranked server that you can play on that has these restrictions.

 

[ShawnJ]

As far as I remember the weapon/kit restriction was okayed for BC2 by EA staff or someone of such power.

I really really really doubt EA cares about weapon restriction like No M320 and no RPG. The rules are just there so they can take down servers that MASSIVELY EXPLOIT restrictions, ex banning RPG but having tanks and/or abusing admin rights to get control of tanks. In such case, EA will enforce their rule when reported upon. Otherwise they could careless.

I fully understand that you want to be on the safe side but please stop bringing up "ea does not allow restriction". I've heard it enough.

 

[LilShortstuf]

I see no point to this thread. We do not plan on changing our servers right now. They are doing well and seem to be working. If you have a suggestion please use the drop box.

Also if it is the game I see no reason to get rid of it. There are ways to get around the nade spam even on Metro.
