I want to know what everyone thinks about the css server being 24/7 dust2. I for one am definately not happy about it. I get tired of playing that map about 20 rounds into it. It has definately sucked alot of fun out of that server.
 
Sorry, we can't make EVERYONE happy. First, we need to make our CS:S division grow. That was one of the reason we switched to d2 24/7. If you've noticed we've gone up the ranks A LOT. This helps our server a lot. As some of you already know; we're trying to get the Zombie MOD server up and running. Mostly and other council members are trying to fix the bugs as soon as they can. Everyone has real life to deal with also. As our division grows. Don't be surprised that we will get some new servers.

Anymore questions?
 
um, I don't want to rush you guys or anything, and I really want you guys to fix all the bugs and whatnot, but when, approximately, will the zombiemod server be up and running? (I can't wait to kill some eGO zombies!)
 
If i give a approximation. It'll be largely false, so i don't want to lie. We really don't know. It depends on the amount of bugs that needed to be fixed by mostly and the council. They've somewhat had it up for a bit, but it had problems for some of the "testers." Most of the advisors were there to help if possible to what needed to be done.


Anymore questions :D? I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge :D
 
hate to break it to yall but there is more non ego players then ego players. really we need to get bigger....
 
Yes, I notice this also. That is why i have increased my A|R roster and I might have to increase it again because of different timezones and recent inactivity. So, i am trying to make a stretch to get more members. Remember that we want QUALITY over QUANTITY. Tell me how many of these PUBS actually are good recruits for eGO? There are some and if my A|Rs missed them. I personally recruit them. I got Pliskin to join :). So, understand we are GROWING a LOT since the change to 24/7 d2.

Since you obviously are full of VAST SERVER KNOWLEDGE, what do you suggest? Rotation server? LOOK AT GAMETRACKER. we hit a even plane at 500 with a rotation server. 500! i installed FBG and made it a 24/7 DUST2 now we took off like a bat out of hell and were up to 239. So, i ask you again. where are we going wrong?

Edit: i just noticed you have 1 hour of gametime on FBG and 4 hours of gametime on xfire. Before you sit there and make comments on our server. PLAY IN IT!!!!! HELP OUT!!!!! DONT STAND FROM A DISTANCE AND WHINE!!!!!!! end of line............
 
The fact that it is now a D2 only server doesn't seem as bad as some of the other problems I see such as:
- Ridiculous server settings (long round time, long time for bomb to explode, weapon restrictions)
- Lack of features (lack of team balance based on skill, inability to move afk to spec, no votemap, no votekick)
- Poor treatment of =(e)= players (second class in regards to vent, dont play any matches - even intra-clan and friendlies)
- Apparent obsession with increasing server ranking and catering exclusively to the noob-all-I-know-is-dust2 crowd, while at the same time ignoring the comments of clan members attempting to address how lame it is.

I didn't get CS:S only to play D2 and making the server D2 only is hardly supportive of the comment that we should play in the server and help out. I almost laughed when someone said "Remember that we want QUALITY over QUANTITY". D2 servers attract people that only play D2. Those skills will not transfer over to Nuke or Prodigy or Mill or Fire, or any of the dozens of high-quality CS:S maps. Its a disservice to member of the clan and players that want to increase their skills and diversity in CS:S.
 
There are many reason to things set the way they are. Do not think that council has not done the research especially MOSTLY who does a lot of research before we change and add things to the CS:S division. So, do not complain. Do you even know how MANY servers we have? Kendle and Dominion cannot get to ALL of them in a day. If they could; they must be GOD. EVERYONE has a life and we stress that real life is very important. If you can play a lot; that does not mean other can. This is a place to PLAY and have FUN. So, Kendle and Dominion HAS to take breaks also. Trust me that they've had enough experience with gaming and bringing this clan to where it is today. Look at our numerous sponsors emerging. =(e)= players are NEVER mistreated. Find me a =(e)= that is mistreated and i will deal with the admin or whomever who does this. We DO NOT put down other players ESPECIALLY our own. Read the server rules. VENT is opened to the public. We reduced it for a LITTLE like 1 day because we had an attack. If you like these attack i can show you how annoying it is. Since, we ALL don't know e's thats the point why we re-opened vent for e's to talk and get to know the leaders. So, they can someday become leaders within eGO. Inter-clan scrims are ALWAYS open. Tell me a time when you've been denied? Only events that you weren't able to go are the eG vs eGO because the title of the event already states this reason. Unless you cannot read, maybe i can record the vent title with my voice. We've been leaving the events OPEN to ALL public players for sometime now. About 2 weeks. We've done the research HERE and within the top servers who do host d2. D2 stays on the top for a reason. People LIKE it. You may not but MANY do. Again we TRY to make you all happy, but it doesn't work. Sometimes you gotta do things for the BETTER of the clan. Trust me that you'll get your numerous maps later when we grow. Look at TF2. They BOOMED QUICK. One reason; they host the main maps player likes to play. Look at DOD. All maps are the POPULAR maps. Both have GROWN A LOT. Therefore, they have Customs and Orange maps with their greater population community. We recruit A LOT; so you gotta weed out the herd. Thats why we want quality over quantity. You think some of the maps you suggest have better players? CAL people are not the nicest players around. They're the SAME as any other pub players. In EVERY GAME we recruit for quality. You don't believe me. Ask SixxGun, Tangerine, and Joan of Arc. No MATTER WHAT game, server, and map you may host and play on. There will be a lot of players, but they're not all good. If you do not know. D2 was originally a CAL map. So, don't talk about these maps if you don't even know that D2 is a CAL made map. If you're good you should be able to take on players on D2. I myself have gotten better playing D2. Its the SAME game. The only difference is that the CAL maps locations are different, so i practice with the CAL team. If you dislike the fact of only have D2. Talk to the CAL team and they may let you play with them. Also, since you're obviously not up-to-date with eGO CS:S Division. I'll enlighten you with some information. Mostly has gotten control of the server box for CSS. Its ONLY CS:S now. Not CS:S and TF2 on the same box. The new server will be ZOMBIE MOD and again that is a popular MOD. LOOK at the pole. This time there is NO CHEATING. ALL done through IP address. It may have a little loop hole but still its decreased and its MUCH more accurate than cookie based counters. Another thing to point out. How many clans do you see that gives free admin, provide events, drawings, prizes, and many other features. Also, the AVAILABILITY of advisors, council, and division leaders? Most other clan leaders probably don't go on much or they don't even talk to their new recruits. Mistreatment has NEVER happened to me and i HAVE been a =(e)= before. I began in august. Why do you think i put so much effort into this clan? I simply think this is a GREAT community because of the amount of involvement of all the LEADERS and the flexibility of the many games you may play, since you get admin in most of each division. Also, if i did not care about =(e)='s i would not even answer you questions and quickly lock this thread and not explain anything to you. We appreciate all suggestions and we TRY to fix things. But we can't make everyone happy.

So, anymore LOVELY complaints/suggestions/wambulance/questions? :)
Post here!

BTW just a FYI. A LOT things will be happening with these coming days as we get the ZOMBIE server set up and running.

The fact that it is now a D2 only server doesn't seem as bad as some of the other problems I see such as:
- Ridiculous server settings (long round time, long time for bomb to explode, weapon restrictions)

The round time is five minutes, thats standard. The avarage round when a team works together is 58 sec - 2 min. Since camping is frowned upon i dont know how much shorter i can make it.The bomb explode time can and will be fixed. As far as the wepon restrictions, well thats been discussed several times.

- Lack of features (lack of team balance based on skill, inability to move afk to spec, no votemap, no votekick)

The teams are autobalanced. if the team is off by skill , switch teams. The afk to spec is how sourcemod is set up, there are several scripts from sourcemod. They dont work correctly however. Since you are not an admin yet that doesnt concern you. When you do become one you May kick them for AFK instead of moving. votemap and vote kick we do not use on any of our servers.

- Poor treatment of =(e)= players (second class in regards to vent, dont play any matches - even intra-clan and friendlies)

e's are RECRUITS! they are not full fledge members yet, therefore you do not have certian privlages yet, in time you will. We do have inter-clan scrims, they have been postponed for the time being and will be up and running soon.

- Apparent obsession with increasing server ranking and catering exclusively to the noob-all-I-know-is-dust2 crowd, while at the same time ignoring the comments of clan members attempting to address how lame it is.

Popularity Brings members, Server ranking Means popularity, We only have one server for right now. And ya know what Mix, Some people here ARE NOOBS! we dont promote based on skill or how much you pwn. we want a respectful community where people can enjoy playing a game they like with out all the nonsence and poor attitudes. So, yes when you say it sucks or whatever we will ignore you ingame. we have to start somewhere and for now its D2

I didn't get CS:S only to play D2 and making the server D2 only is hardly supportive of the comment that we should play in the server and help out. I almost laughed when someone said "Remember that we want QUALITY over QUANTITY". D2 servers attract people that only play D2. Those skills will not transfer over to Nuke or Prodigy or Mill or Fire, or any of the dozens of high-quality CS:S maps. Its a disservice to member of the clan and players that want to increase their skills and diversity in CS:S.

i didnt buy CS:S to play one map either, What everyone is failing to realize is there is TONS of servers for people to play on. we only have 1 right now. the 2nd one is coming soon. followed by another. things are always changing at eGO. Im glad you stated you opnion in a Somewhat non-negitive way. As time goes on and things improve all your concerns will be relieved.

all my responces are in bold. i hope this helps.
 
Is there any kind of time frame for the other servers popping up? or is that an excuse to kill the issue. Look, I know you can't please everyone, but even a 3 map rotation would be better than 1 map 24/7. It really makes me not want to play css when all I see is d2. I really think we should discuss this in vent.
 
Not to be mean or anything but if i get tired of play dust 2 i just go to a different server. But also i had funny i dont mind it being 24/7 Dust2.
 
This weekend. There will be another. Im doing the best i can. The problem the new server is having is out of my hands at the moment. i have been told that by this weekend it should be ok. The order will be like this. If zombiemod still is not compattible with sourcemod then it will be gungame, if not gungame it will be a 3 map rotation or a 24/7 office.
 
i wish we would reduce the buy time to 30 seconds to prevent nade spammage...

also i wish we would diable bank for the first round so that peolpe with rifles just dont kill everyone
