There are AFK problems

[explosion]

I usually don't care that much about this issue since admins are usually around and they do their job well

but today I had this crazy incident in which one of my team mates went afk with mg about 10min

I told admin then he joins for another 1,2 kill or death then go afk again then again I told admin

then he joined again and camp the shit out of it at least he wasn't afk so I didn't say anything

but when admin left he just went full-on afk he stayed afk at least an hour with a mg

as time goes by there were less and less players and it went to 3 vs 4 but as that guy

stayed afk it was 2 vs 4 or even 2 vs 5 for short period.


it really annoyed me and that kind of actions don't help server popularity either as he/she makes others leave

I didn't liked it but I wasn't going to post this but again I encountered almost same problem

if they wanna go afk they can join specs plain and simple I don't care much about short period afking

so I'm not complaining about those and I'm not talking about honest mistakes that sometimes happen either

I'm saying there are players who goes afk repeatedly for a freaking long time as an axis or ally,

and even worse they do that as a mg and sniper.


this kind of afk ruin the team balance and make players join winning team and players in losing team more likely to quit

when there are only 6~8 players left 1 afk is a big deal this happens quite often but it seems like it doesn't really get your

attention since they do it when u guys are not around I saw the post that auto kick is not available due to technical difficulty

so I'm not saying we should have it but I'm urging u guys there should be more severe punishment for going afk long time

they have no good reason to do that repeatedly, they just do that cause they don't care and I'm telling u

it doesn't help the server I'm not saying u should ban them for life(or even a weak for that matter)

but imo they need to know that kind of actions are not appreciated

this may not be a serious problem but it sure can use your guys' attention

Thank you for the server feedback! I am not a part of the DOD:S division, so I don't know much about this problem, but I am sure that a DOD:S member will reply to this shortly. Also, welcome to our forums! It seems to me that you like the server alot. If you would like to join and get a shiny =(e)= tag to put in front of your name, click "Home" on the top tool bar, and then click "Join." We would love to have you as apart of our community. Welcome to eGO!

Since the new system, no ones knows who applys anymore

 

[ENFORCER_GAMING]

i do

 

[UrLostDog]

And what about his =(e)=?

 

[Simon]

And what about his =(e)=?

He never applied as a member. Day of Defeat is a VERY old game that see's very few to none eGO recruits to it since the players on it have been around a very long time, they are either already part of a group or are not interested.

Let's try and get this topic back on topic now, thanks.

 

[racing88]

yeah some players really like do that when they lose few points maybe you should add some eG?s and eGO?s your steam friend list also u can fill up BR if they do that all the time

 

[BebeStars]

Well (The People have Spoken) has a good point it does happen ALOT and quite frankly it should be taken seriously. This server AFK thing kick is a good idea because alot of the times in European hours no one is around to help us out.

You may get new recruits if someone actually tried to recruit them which I haven't actually seen happen since I came back either in game. I never see any of the EGO's talking to anyone on any of the teams about joining EGO..

Just feedback...

before I get told to go play on another server.. I've started paying to play on EGO servers..

I think the biggest problem here is the type of weapon that is being squandered by
AFK users. The MG can be pretty vital to a team. If one person goes idle with it,
or its parked in the wrong places, and if the other team is set on advancing... it
can get pretty discouraging.

I wouldn't be surprised if some people are doing this intentionally as well, do just
enough activity so that they don't get the boot, and then just squander it.

I've heard a lot of reasons why we don't get an AFK management module, but honestly
they kind of sound like excuses from someone who just doesn't want to hassle with the
technical details of setting it up.

I've heard that they try to keep the modules to a minimum, well that's a good practice,
but it shouldn't stop us from incorporating ones we need.

Also, I've heard someone suggest that if they ever update Team Fortress, or CSS, that it
would break our module system... well, that is always a possibility, but I think it unlikely
that valve is going to do a complete rewrite of basic system protocols on a few older games
that they've half given up on. And even if they did change something, it would just take
a little time by someone technically proficient to see whats been changed and make the
necessary adjustment... meanwhile the module would just be de-activated until the problem
was resolved. and any server down-time would surely be alerted through messaging systems.

I hear a lot of reasons why NOT to make improvements, and I just don't feel very many of
them have much merit... sure, we've been doing the same thing for quite some time, but it
shouldn't mean we should give up on making improvements to make our lives easier.

at very least, we should prove that our tech staff is still up to the task of making modifications.
this might sound a bit harsh, but the only thing i've seen created lately, is excuses. lol

 

[Broadsword]

They should at least be tried, it shouldn't overload the box much as the other servers are empty

Nothing happens because we aren't alerting the right people. If we want tech to look into a solution then there needs to be a post made in the "Dropbox" section. Perhaps try posting there. Otherwise, tech will never see this post and add it to their list of things to do.

true broadsword.
we shouldn't have to give up any of our servers either,
we should at least experiment with them if we just plan to give them up.

alright simon

Well a player going afk to often and for to long is actually cheating, so w/k/b. I warn all regular afk's and I have permanently banned for cheating. I let admins sit as afk just a few minutes longer than normal players then I call them, no reply they move on the same as any player..

I think the whole point is that people are asking for an afk plug in to kick the AFK's with capital classes like MG, Sniper & Rocket..

Just because DOD is an old game shoudln't matter. It should still be treated like its a game being that people do have an interest in playing it.

London does a fairly active job in policing the system.

Surely we can't just inform the 'tech people' to look into a plugin and implement it into the servers, I would have thought it would need to be talked about by the people in charge of this 'VERY old game' and then be passed through the right channels.
If it was a simply case of using the drop box to change the way the server is set up then I am sure it would be bombarded with applications for the kill cam to be turned off, the no prone plugin to be installed, take the pistol out and the afk management plugin put in.
These are bread and butter plugins.

If this is such a dying game with no interest attached to it then you have to make the servers as automative as possible.

All this negativity is getting the community no where

 

[explosion]

first thanks for all your attention and response
I wanted to call your attention to this matter and that goal is more than fulfilled
I don't know what's the right solution to that matter since I lack both game server and administrative wide experiences
but I know I can count on you guys to figure out what need to be done and once that is decided I'll help what little I can
(if needed)

and about applying, I registered to MAUL but didn't apply to join Ego not because I wasn't interested but because
I wasn't sure where player ends and admin started, would the stuff I do as a player(like suggesting or even telling
others what to do, or how I react to players who called me names) acceptable as an admin or admin candidate?
now I know u guys might say with kind smile that "Don't worry TPHS You'll never make an admin
so there would be no conflict like ever " but with my positive-negative thinking I was worried XD
anyway thx again for taking interest in this matter I already feel more positive now it has your attention

I am sure someone from the recruiting department will be along and put your mind at rest, why they haven't contacted you before will remain a mystery, how is this Very Old division suppose to grow if no one invites anyone

Feel free to add me up on Steam

 

[BebeStars]

Broadsword makes a valid point here..

It also echos what I said earliar about if you guys want to grow the division its going to take some effort by the current admins and the ones posting on this board that its so old no one cares to actually grow it.

Negative attitudes about a game being to old aren't going to help. The same as the negative attitude of people being told to go play on other servers if they dont like it.

Constructive feedback is happening lets see if people actually take the time to ask people to join EGO or not.

I remember when Krazy recruited on the server on strand, he did a very good job of it. Since I started playing steam games again sadly I've not seen him.
