Of course, you're right. A staff of two can certainly manage all the support issues that will arise that we already know about. :\
|
tell me this team that is taking over the online aspects of the c&c games isn't just a team of 2!
|
As far as I know, it is. :\
I'm the bawss.

well, how many people are looking after WOL? ...0 So, two people looking after XWIS is at least an Improvment^^
|
Yes. But when EA ignores thousands of complains and etc, no moderator is wasting their time. When XWIS "goes live", they will basically inherit all of WOL's problems (and in fact, quite an astonishing number of problematic people). They will get flooded with support requests very quickly and no longer have time to do what they want.

Well yeah, let's get back on topic, after I just replied to something that was going way off track...
IMO the worst thing that can happen regarding support is that they do as much as EA does no: nothing. Then nothing changes and well, that's all.
So as for service we are already at 0, then I don't think anything could get worse.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I didn't sign any agreements to censor my language when I joined up, so there's no reason I shouldn't be able to swear if I feel like it. It should be a client side option to turn on the filter if people feel the need to use it.
|
yes, you did. it was in the user eula that you electronically signed when you installed the games.
|
Wrong.
|
read it.
you agree to abide by the terms and the behavior set forth by EA and that EA can kick you off their online play at anytime if you break their code of conduct rules.

Listen, fuckbag. The reason it says "GAME CONTENT MAY CHANGE DURING ONLINE PLAY" on the back of the box is because they take no responsibility for what people say on their servers. Eat shit and die.
|
no, you useless piece of shit, that isn't why it says online play may change. the reason it says that is because things change and they may at some time decide to stop supporting online play or turn it over to a third party and by saying that to idiot children like you, they can not be held responsible if you buy a game for the online play and 15 years later try to complain because there is no longer any online play.
they can and do have the ability, right, and responsibility to control what losers like you say in their game lobbies.
they have always kicked and temp banned people for cussing in the game lobbies. they don't and likely can't do anything once you are in a game.

And how exactly was the swearing thing off topic?
I don't think they should be able to moderate the chat like that when there is (alledgedly) an in-built swear filter, and the games are TEEN anyway.
But hey.
|
people have been whining about that ever since the first person got kicked for swearing. it has always been ea's and westwood's position that you are in their game, you signed the eula, and it is against their rules so live with it or stay out.

I do believe the one who spots elmo was talking about Westwood Online IRC chat, not in-game chat. That's never really been banned before (except that one rare case where Delphi or Devinoch went into a server and banned someone for it).
|
in renegade i've never heard of anyone being punished for swearing. but, in games since ra2 people have always been kicked and temp banned for swearing. i'm just glad that they fixed it so that the word "idiot" isn't considered a swear word anymore.

My point stands. They don't care about what you do in the game, nor have they ever. Statistically speaking people who play this game spend 99% of their time in the game, not in a lobby.

Once you're in a server, it's the server owner that makes the rules. He's paying for it then... WOL is just a GUI to connect to servers, really...

Deathgod, stop being a "fuckbag". There's no reason to result to insulting eachother while having a valid (even if somewhat off-topic) discussion regarding swearing. In all honesty, what people say isn't exactly game content: what you play is. The vehicles, the characters, the maps, the storyline, even the interface. Ever watched TV? TV often has "The commentaries and/or interviews seen here are solely those of those which have said such bullshit. We do not support or condone bullshit." I'm sure if push came to shove EA would go that route as well. Besides, while I'm sure most people who do swear say that swearing is a right, they will also agree that you should not abuse it ("listen fuckbag ... eat shit and die"). I'm not a mod, but if I was, you'd be warned right now.

You just invalidated what you said about the game content by using an example that supports my point. Thanks!

I don't believe it's possible to abuse my right to call someone a fuckbag when they are, in fact, a fuckbag. And I was sincerely hoping that he was going to eat shit and die, so I think that was a valid statement to make as well.
As for the mods warning me, I don't really mind either way. I know where I stand with the people who run this site, and I've let them know where they stand with me, but I still appreciate the fact that they spend time and money to keep this place around so I can call people fuckbags.
