[Suggestion #2] Approved matches shouldn't ever be private

Postby Aervec_ » 10 January 2018, 00:52

I have another suggestion:

I believe that approved matches (regardless of being ranked or unranked) should not be able to be made private. I feel this gives players an easier time with cheating as well as annoying players when there is no other match with players on it except for private matches.

It is especially important to make it so ranked matches cannot be made private, because this is far more important in relation to cheating. This feature was once implemented, but it was removed at some point. I have no idea why it was removed, because it was a good feature to have.

Ex. clan wars.

I mean its alright to play private Approved matches.
But yeah cheating is quite the thing.
Why not make the Kills and Deaths earned in that not count towards the profile?
Just like a custom map, but approved.

I disagree. Why we should no play approved? Some persons 1v1 and stuff and they having fun. That's nothing bad about it. If they cheat they will be banned, and they can't get pp by farming.

That may be true depending on who is doing the 1vs1, Although I know what you mean by that.

Yes thats also true but.
If the private match only supports 2 slots available.
Then those 2 people may get away with farming kills even with or without PP.
Since it only has 2 Slots no one else can interfere with it. You may only spectate if you know the password.

Then let them cheat and farm. If they do farm then let them do farm. Anyways the farmers don't do anything to us. They gaining kills unfairly but that's all. I don't think it's a big deal until they do hacks or cheats.

And yeah, a hack/cheat detection system would be good

Umm ECC9, I don't think you're reading and understanding the PB2 Code right even if you printed engraved it on paper.

There should be no exceptions to the law and that contradicts what you say "let them farm..."

Intopic:

I think only Ranked private matches shouldn't be in ranked since they could go away with farming easily and can go high up the leaderboards while other people struggle to ladder up fairly.

We can't do much again farmers. Staff will not spectace 24 hours. So that's why i am saying this.

Also I still not accept the private matches inquiries.

Do not say that you can't do anything against farmers.
You can record / screenshot the on-going farming and send it to a staff member.
Now, you can't spectate if you can't enter a match with a password.

That's why matches without passwords can help decrease farming count.

Just a tip:
If you really want to apply to staff and get accepted, try not to be negative about moderation and how staff moderate the game.

Yes of course I can record and screen,but in private matches I can't. And you guys forgot about the user's who not farm on private approved, only 1v1 or having fun. Normal players matter, not only farmers.

(I didn't sayd moderating of our staff is bad.)

I may seemed to be guilty of creating matches that are in private, but I don't actually farm, since I didn't really care on having PP, I just wanted to get more kills, and otherwise kick out a player who's AFK, cheating, etc.

Never encountered farmers yet, since it is a lot hard on getting into matches that's encrypted with players' made passwords. Usually, why not put the pass on the title so more could join, and have the opportunity to kick players that's breaking rules?

That's why we need to remove passwords in ranked/approved matches because of farmers.

Normal people who likes to 1v1 can just change the player slots in the match settings allowing it for other players to spectate the game if there are any farmers and allowing them to play 1v1 normally.

Basically the reason why it's needed to be done.

We can't do much again farmers. Staff will not spectace 24 hours. So that's why i am saying this.

About the negative part, I'm not implying that you said anything bad to the staff. I'm just saying that you said there's farmers because staff wouldn't spectate 24 hours a day which means that because you are complaining about the staff not spectating and that is negative about their moderation qualities.

And you know who will change the slots.... None.

About moderating, I sayd to you, that they can't always spectace, not because I was negative about them.

Maybe people would change the slots if we remove passwords.

What would happen if:
Player1: Let's 1v1
Player2: but people might get in the match since there's no passwords

Scenario A:
Player1: Let's just make a custom map
Player2: great idea

Scenario B:
Player1: Let's make a ranked/approved match so it can increase my kills/ppp
Player2: but you can't private a ranked/approved match
Player1: we can just change the player slots
Player2: nice idea

ECC's Scenario A:
Player1: Let's 1v1
Player2: but we can't put passwords on approved/ranked matches now
Player1: oh okay lets not 1v1 then

What if private matches just didn't record kills, deaths, and PP?
