@MattScott This is the correct course of action, you need to prioritize correctly. The extreme minority of Vivox users will get pissy, but overall game health will be much higher for it.

You have all these rules and codes of conduct, yet you prove on a daily basis that you have absolutely no intention of actually enforcing any of it. Reporting stuff to support is useless, as report tickets are universally ignored. There's horrifically rampant verbal abuse of others, explicit sexual/pornographic messages in public chat, blatant dethreating, outright griefing of both missions and players, etc etc etc. The people doing this crap even taunt about it in public chat channels, because they know they won't suffer any repercussions for their actions. We have no GMs (wearing the tag doesn't make you a GM, sorry not sorry), support ignores tickets, and threads on the forum are unceremoniously censored and locked. This touted "district phasing and matchmaking overhaul" isn't going to do a damn thing, and anyone capable of free thought knows this. It doesn't matter how good your matchmaking is, as all forms of automated systems can (and will) be exploited for player gain. The only solution to this behaviour is to mete out punishment to those who engage in it, period. So, @MattScott. When are you going to start caring about your players? When will you hire a round-the-clock ingame moderation team, that can at a moment's notice respond to cries of distress from victims of toxic behaviour? When will you fast lane terms of service violation report tickets (with an accompanying punishment for those who abuse it, of course)? If you choose to ignore these problems as you have consistently been showing you intend to, the game will die just like before... and it's already started as can be seen by checking readily available public data. Incoming censure and account action for daring to speak up on this issue.

Incredible. Gamersfirst/Reloaded even fucked up on something that simple.

They aren't doing that though.

In what universe would that make any sense? Not to mention how much extra workload that puts on the devs for no actual gain.

Ohey, that was me.

By doing so, he has ensured the OP learns nothing about their mistake.

Or at least let us disable the fucking mails once the cap is reached. The spam is atrocious. Or just convert them into yellow mods, which would be the ideal solution that many have desired for a long time.

Yes, they're referring to rating. Only us old hats refer to it as rating, because so many people over so many years have spread the misinformation that it's called rank that it's always going to be called that going forward. It's unfixable, although it's a great way to tell the difference between people who've been around for a long time or not.

Then you are aware of how it's a dead server again. Maybe 20-30 people online at night, with 200-300 people during peak hours. That isn't a sustainable population, period.

That must've been added after I left, cause it certainly wasn't a thing while I was still around. Wouldn't be surprised if Tiggs added it specifically because of me.

These guns need a whole helluva lot more work than that.

A common issue that is easily solved by simply adding commas to the marketplace. This has been requested since closed beta, over eight years ago. @MattScott

Prevent forum activity until game account has a character over a certain rating (r50 would require all tier 0 contacts completed). Easy solution, albeit requiring extra dev work to get the framework set up.

No I am not.

Maybe on the EU servers where the game has always enjoyed great popularity. Here on Jericho the game is very much back to Gamersfirst/Reloaded era dead population.

Not enough racism, explicit pornographic ERPing, etc.

Oh you mean the districts that are completely irrelevant to this discussion, due to not having the altered weapons and therefore cannot contribute anything to the weapon testing dataset? Keep digging your hole, or put your ego aside and accept you fucked up in your original statement. Your choice.

It would require serious dev time, and they'd likely have to flex their research muscles to learn new stuff about how VoIP services work. It'd be worth it in the long term. Ultimately though, Discord rich presence is the true endgame.

Honestly they should just remove Vivox and work on integrating their own in-house service. Vivox has never been good, for many more reasons than simply just having garbage performance/quality in general. Post UE4, could integrate Discord rich presence so we don't even need the extra client weight of the game's VoIP at all.

Yes, let's completely skew the data collected by ignoring 90% of the game when testing.

There's also no cooldown or limit on friend requests, rendering both of those irrelevant.

Maybe they're finally realizing that karma systems are completely worthless.

Welp.
