EPA 's Tag person , they are like each other thread ,lol :D for vote kick = Yes please
With votekick implemented (60-70-80% of players' votes needed), these are the possible scenarios that come to mind mind:
A: Kicked player is a douchebag (cheater, griefer, is insulting others, etc.). Job well done.
B: Kicked player is too unskilled and makes imbalance. He needs to play on a server with lower MMR. Better for him/her and for the other 7-9-11 people. Job well done.
C: Kicked player is too skilled and makes imbalance. He needs to play on a server with higher MMR. Better for him/her and for the other 7-9-11 people. Job well done. Player enjoys stomping? Then it is scenario A. Kicked player can't find other matches because he is probably in the top 20 ? Well, that's an issue, yes.
D: 60-70-80% of the lobby are douchebags and kick players just for fun/whatever? This has low probability IMO. But probably it's better for kicked player not to play with them and go to another server.
To sum up I think that votekick could be more beneficial for the majority than harmful for some people. If someone gets kicked frequently, maybe it has a reason and he/she needs to think about his/her attitude.
Are there other possible scenarios that I forgot?
There's no reason to cater the game to known hackers/griefers, and lose your main playerbase as a result.
Why even engage in hypothetical rationalization on that subject?
Player retention is job #1 for these new Devs. And hackers and griefers kill off the playerbase.
Pretty simple.
EPA_EnjeliaH_FOX - some questions to you man 1. how would you deal with person who abuse and destroys the game for other?
isn't the VOTEKICK the simplest and fast solution?
if reporting take to much time and programmers attention
2.
why we should play in private servers?
and abuser should continue abusing on public server?
why no vice versa?
Yeah, IMO this is a topic that has needed to be discussed by the community for some time now.
Mods, please, just delete individual posts if you don't like em, and not the whole thread :)
I hope that, when moderation comes to this topic, they delete only the unnecessary comments and not the whole topic... again.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I will always record aimbots.
I have no doubt there are awesome pilots out there but you are clearly not one of them.
You were a cheater.
You got banned.
Deal with it.
Says who? A person who's been systematically ruining matches for over a year now? Shut the hell up.
There are two great ways to prevent the majority of Vote-To-Kick abuse (since abusing it seems to be the only thing people are opposed to).
1. A set of circumstances that must be met before a player can be nominated for a VTK. Things like "No score within 3 minutes", "Two suicides in a match", "Players score is __% higher or lower than any other player.", "No time spent in objective after __ minutes of match time." can be indicators that a player might qualify for a legitimate VTK.
2. Limit a player to initiating only 1 single VTK per 30 minutes.
I'm not sure if VTK is the right solution for Hawken or not, but I do feel it is worth trying if it's done right.
