The Kick Command

[AGGInator]

Is it that hard to release a fucking beta version without the kick feature for test issues?

Actually it's harder to keep calm when reading such f****** comments.

and in bnet its the same you can hear and read all the time..

And another qualifying game screwed up, I was the 3rd player getting kicked.

It took nearly 10 seconds after one player disconnected until the first vote "for balancing reasons" (WTF?).

Two minutes later several votes were started in my team. I was more concentrated typing "-no" than on the game which was very frustrating. I did not get any answer to questions for a reason for the kick-votes.

After several failed kick-votes the other team managed to get rid of one of their players (don't know their reason). So the game was "unbalanced" and the kick-votes started again ("Your team got rid of the noobs and our team will get rid of them too").

I managed to prevent the weakest player in our team getting kicked with typing "-no" at every vote. So they tried to vote against me. Unfortunately the weak player voted -yes against me and I got kicked out of the game. This was the third time in the last 6 games I got kicked in a qualifying game.


A kick-command in a map is sometimes useful unless there are too many assholes and low-lifes in a game who see theirselves in the finals of the World Cyber Games.

I really like the kick command and i kick all Players with unplayable Setup and bad stats. Last game a Heli with 4 Energy Torpedos and NO hull ... i bought heavy tank and farmed him 10 times. i was so overfeeded in 10 mins game was over! I always said kick him, no Response! Feeders and Noobs have to get kicked ... Pro Mode is not for noobs!

Mybe you should read all postes here before talking... if you kick everyone who is new at the game... when will they learn to play correct and have good stats?

Removing the -kick command was a disaster. We just have one early feeder, followed by a pissed off intentional feeder. Game ruined, no kick. I'd rather get unfairly kicked sometimes but know that other games will be fair and reasonable. Now this game with the intentional feeder is a joke so I just -afkai until the end. And guess what? I wont get kicked.

I play to have fun, not for rank. I never even logged on these forums before. I just set up this account out of shock they decided to ruin public games like this. I played BTanks because it was fun; we could usually kick out nubs or feeders before they ruined games. Now every 10 year old (and yes, 10 year olds play), drunk college student, and gamer with a bad day will ruin games anytime they want. What's worse is they will be able to stay for 100% of the game and look good when they join the next game. -Kick was the biggest reason BTank games were consistently fun, and why I quit DOTA after years to play BTanks. I sincerely hope the developers bring it back; without the ability to self-police, there are far more games ruined.

Or to put it another way: An abused kick command could ruin a couple people's game, and usually early on. A lack of kick command can ruin 8 people's game for 1-2 hours that they can't leave without consequence. I'm shocked that's what the developers chose.

If you ever play with intentional feeders just save the replay and post it here. We will watch the game and if we agree on one being an intentional feeder we ban them and delete the game from the database.

Is that possible to ban user for using afkai whole game? I played game with person who played only few mins at start than whole game afkai that feeded everyone, other two players leave from my team so it was only one afkai, me and one teammate.

PLS FIX THIS STUPID BUG OR WHATEVER WITH AFKAI
THERE ARE SO MANY GAMES RUINED BY AFKAI DUDES WHO WILL FEED AND DEBALANCING THE GAMES.
THATS BULLSHIT AND I DONT KNOW WHY IT LAST SO LONG TO FIX THIS "LITTLE" BIG PROBLEM!!!

AND NO, MY CAPSLOCK ISN'T DAMAGED.

I GET MORE AND MORE ANGRY ABOUT THIS S****T !!

IT'S UNFAIR, DESTROYS BALANCING SYSTEMS AND LET ME THINK ABOUT WHY I'M STILL PLAYING BTL BETA.

IM REALLY PISSED OF AND I'M NOT ALONE WITH MY OPINION 'BOUT THAT. :x

[PaPPa_D]

Ill be watching forum for updates on this matter, because I normaly like playing this bot...but not any more.

U guys that voted for AFK kick only are FUBAR!

I am out 8)

[eSVau]

We are reworking the votekick cmd (again) more towards the way it was before the last change.

I think we all underestimated those destructive idiots just killing the fun of other players, even so we tried to follow this voting

edit: you might be interested into how the votes will be made.

keep in mind, that kicking noobs etc doesnt solve the problems of a good game, because kicked players are simliar to leavers and thoose ruin the game too.

in my opinion, the problem need to be fixed right in the lobby. there are already bots for palyers with 15xx points and the qualify bot, but i think, a good way to fix the problem would be to implement a team based league. problem would be, that its quite hard to find 4 other players for a team, so there need to be a less-than-5-players-league. how to realize something like that, would be very hard or maybe impossible.

Conclusion: A team-based league could help players, who are looking for high-qualitive games. How to impletent a system, which allows to make teams less than 5 players would be difficult.

Yay, I like colorful posts, too. :-P


PS: Maybe make a System, which assembles 2-player teams with 3-player teams. would need to be done in a channel or on the website.

hi ^^
if there are some guys in the game who dont accept the -giveup command although the game is over anyway and its just a question of (wasted) time, i will ruin the game with extreme feeding because i dont want to w8 5 Min. and get bad stats in my leage %. Thats my opinion. I am voting for getting the old kick-system back. Everyone in the team should decide if someone get kicked. This is no criticize just an opinion ^^

[eSVau]

There is a connection between -kick and -giveup? Didn't know that
