*ears perk up*

Did they really though? 'sales are down 82.4 per cent compared with the previous game in the franchise - 2015's Fallout 4.' Those are confirmed numbers from Bethesda based not on overall sales, but on the launch itself. Not to mention the fact Fallout 4 retained its price for years, hell if I was like new and wanted to buy a good Fallout that didn't give me some sort of incurable cancer I'd still have to stroll over to steam and pay 30 dollars. A month after fucking release people were selling it for less than that just to get rid of all the extra copies as they saw Bethesda net worth plummeting. Plus, if you look at what is the new model of the gaming-business world, you basically develop a free game that has tons of micro-transactions people are willing to waste their money on, or you develop a reasonably priced 40-60 dollar game with the promise of quality content and future content for lets call it another 40 dollars a year (i.e. yearly passes etc.). Yeah good luck selling that Bethesda.

@Nishok ;)

people still play minecraft?

You guys get a government contract for hiring [REDACTED] or something...? Just wondering, completely unrelated to this thread. congrats nerds

16 mill 8 digit. Who's next @Caution

Yes

SOMEONE CONTACT THE TECHNICAL TEAM!!!!!

I would play as well, great way to hone skills and warm up before a scrim or MM.

Bring back 1v1 server!!!

Its not the same

Sooo....discord party when?

Soooo who's drawing the short stick?

oh fuck yeah, this map was so fun back in the day. I remember it getting kind of clusterfucky at spots, but what good map doesn't!

Why the fuck would I wanna play with you @Prez? Lemme know if @Black Rain shows up

Half the shit in the CB is incomprehensible anyways. Sure people are using the english language, they're just typing like some uneducated inbred morons. Sometimes the CB is just people telling each other to neck themselves. I don't see how binary could be any worse.

I know everyone is being kind and courteous and just liking the thread....but I gotta say it: fuck yeah This is awesome, really cool to hear you guys are doing this!

Your CPU is looking mighty toasty friend. should check that out.

Glad you clarified this

@Wawa @tides the scrim server still has min/max of 80000 rate. Maybe people won't hack on there if we fix that? Nah jk, people will still be dumb xd

New years resolution: Drink less redbull....I'm off to a bad start.

Right...thanks, I know about player complaints and how to call an admin. Was trying to express that it seems like a bigger issue that might benefit from a rule adjustment regarding freedays. Like for example : only having free day in with the 'days plugin' and limiting its usage there, having a rule in place that says you can only issue freedays that way. Standing purely behind the rule of conflicting orders and just the concept of being able to call an admin at any time with the current low amount of admins will hinder gameplay until we get a lot more active admins. Once the holidays are over and people have less free time to be in there you're looking at a lot of potential situations where there might not be an admin available. Establishing a more well defined rule or building it into the plugin allows you to teach the playerbase the rules over time, making them less likely to abuse. Often times people will break the rules less purely because they know even if an admin isnt on that they could get recorded and banned that way. In JBs current state with how the rules + players are even if I was recording to complain it probably wouldn't end up being solid proof, plus it ends up being different kids everytime. Having a secondary rule or layer of rules regarding this would prove much more effective at building a mentality among the playerbase that can be carried on long term.

Just to clarify, while there is a lot of mic clutter from Ts, what was being talked about here is Ts switching to CT and spamming free days. They either want to cause chaos or they think the CTs are bad...not handling it right, who knows really. Giving text orders wont fix that, someone on mic will just yell a different order (freeday) and children will follow. Also it's not really against the rules...currently, outside of contradicting orders which gets pretty convoluted when you have 15 CTs each one calling a different order at the same time.

I've seen most everything described here happen in JB as recently as a few days ago, not sure exactly what the solution would be but I do agree the First Order plugin does shit all to help. I like your thoughts on making rules about what the first order should be, which clicks together well with CTs having to give orders in a reasonable amount of time. I think that if we have been able to train people into having to give orders in a timely manor, we could do the same with having to give..a reasonable order? or set of orders? Its been talked about here and on the other thread, but Freedays are absolutely out of control. What you described here about Ts switching to CT and then aggressively screaming is exactly what I've experienced every time I've tried to play JB. Now you can come in and tell me that like maybe it was just a bad time or no admins were on, which I disagree with. I've been playing JB for near 10 years, and for many of those years I ran the fucking show on CT, didn't need a plugin to claim warden. I remember back to days where 3 people (myself included) could handle an entire server of (roughly 18-20) Ts with near no problems. Now no matter how much I raise my voice or try and take command of a really shitty situation or set of orders...its just muffled by screaming children on both sides. I know times have changed, but perhaps something needs to get tweaked around so we can get back closer to what was an incredibly fun server, not just one that maintained a good rank.
