CrossFire Rant!
Why is CrossFire unplayable and broken on most CrossFire regions? Such as CrossFire Europe, CrossFire North America & CrossFire Philippines.
Hello, Pirate Slaughter here. And i've a couple of question regarding the game CrossFire, and it's issues it has had ever since release.
I've played crossfire since 2009 on the NA servers. I switched over to Europe in 2012. I've seen how the how CrossFire has lost their player base over the years, and how unplayable and less enjoyable the game has become.
I'm not the only player experiencing this, many are having the exact same issues as me. I've done my research and i know whether it's my client side or the server side fault. Please give us a reasoning on why this stuff happens to the servers. The game is not fun to play anymore and the amount of money you spend to support this game doesn't help at all. You guys have the money, but goddammit the servers are poop. From my perspective, it seems like you guys cannot fix the server at all. And you keep releasing these pay 2 win stuff and more useless weapons. We don't want these type of things, you think adding more weapons and broken gamemodes gonna make everything better? You're making the game more unplayable, you're stacking more errors and problems with adding useless stuff to the game. (You're literally trying to extinguish fire with gasoline, you continue adding more problems without fixing the old ones.)
If the game is in this condition forever, then yeah. Supporting this game is not worth it, especially with the overpriced items in-game, it's ridiculous. I loved the game, but now i'm so done with it, i expected the servers to be fixed in every new update. And i've done this for the past 2 years now, and it has just become worse and worse for every new update. You guys had me hoping that the game would be amazing, but you guys always let me down, always......
It seems like CrossFire Europe will soon be shutdown, due to lack of players and players barely buying any microtransactions. And it seems like CrossFire NA is going down the same road, but much slower then CrossFire Europe.
Questions
Where does the money go to?
Why are the servers lagging, and why does it take you guys forever to fix it?
Why are we losing players? Is it because of the servers?
Is the lag suppose to be like this forever? Because it has been a problem for a long time and many other game companies can fix it within a week.
Why does this registration problem occur so often? The game makes me flip out, because i should've had that kill.
Why does it take you guys 4 months to patch a glitch on a map? I've patched glitches myself on a map editor program before, takes only seconds to do it. How difficult can it be for you guys?
Why does it in some cases takes 10-20 seconds to click on any tab in the lobby?
Why do we get disconnected from the server so often?
Issues with CrossFire NA.
1. The game lag literally every 10-20 seconds.
2. UK servers makes everyone unable to join the game "Host error" (Making everyone need to play on NA servers)
3. Registration system with the bullets has become much worse, it has been like this since release but it's way worse now
-> You cannot deal any damage to an enemy that's in the air, you see the blood spewing out but no damage taken. You can test this on the toy castle map, or just let an enemy jump from a place will you shoot him mid air.
----> You can also just play regular match and shoot them on the ground, and still the bullets does not reg.
4. Hackers in ranked and public match. Ever since CrossFire NA got their new Anti-Cheat system, more and more hackers has come. X-trap was a good anti-cheat system, Europe version has rarely any cheaters. Last time i got matched up with a cheater on Europe was 6-7 months ago.
5. Poor ping. Players experience heavy lag within the game, that causes everyone to freeze and all of the sudden teleport around the map. This make the game less enjoyable, because nothing register and the game is just a cluster F***. This is very common on CrossFire NA/UK servers, everyone just get 500+ in ping.
6. Getting disconnected from server for no reasons (The whole channel or server gets disconnected, and players need to rejoin the server or join a new server.)
7. Error codes happens so often on any gamemode.
CrossFire NA had 1 and a half full servers NOT CHANNELS, but servers. (1 and a half server = 15 channels). But from January they've lost 15 full channels of players.
Issues with CrossFire Europe
1. Server lag every round.
2. Lag on the last man standing on S&D (The last survivor has no chance to clutch, there's a bug that makes the last man standing lag)
3. Server registration is 10 times worse then CrossFire NA registration system. On average on 1 match, 20-25% of your bullets does not register. (Those bullets can have a huge impact on the game if they did manage to register)
4. Error codes, game freeze and error crashes are frequent occurred.
CrossFire Europe has lost 2 full channels of players since January, and now has only 3 full channels on average.
Please fix your game.
Best regards, Pirate slaughter.

First off, love the title. Gets right to the point.
Most if not all of your questions have already been addressed by a GM. In addition, your "letter" is directed to the wrong people. There are other people than the GMs working to bring Crossfire to the world, people in charge of server maintenance, content creation, security, etc. A Game Moderator is not an all-inclusive, all-knowing support/creation/marketing conglomeration.
They generally let us know whats happening once they know its happening. So sit tight, and find something more fun to distract yourself in the meantime. I STRONGLY suggest the game Munchkin.m12_sprayer wrote: »This could be a [poorly written] school paper

Hey, 7 year veteran here.
There are very good reasons to why this region of the CF franchise has fallen. Let me list them for you.
1) 80% of player base is VIP/armor/wallspammer chinese or dumb/incapable egyptians.
Its a real big turn off for american players and theres nothing we can do about it because they are literally almost all of CFNA's revenue stream.
2) There are better games out there, especially in the American market. Why play CF which is old, p2w, and has VIPs when you can play an even game such as league or CSGO? Both of which you can only get skins of characters/weapons. Not weapons that reload 10x faster or have some ridiculous overpowered long range slug bullet attached to a shotgun.
3) This game is P2W. When is VIP armor coming out? Nuff said
4)Management is horrible. We have no input into when comes to this game. All updates come from CF China which is one of the few crossfires that has a licensee to make their own content. The game is Chinese after all. The Suggestion thread is literally a waste of time. Recently with the overhaul of the Z8 management team, things have gotten a little better. But they are still terrible. The CF franchise has the most awkward and weird systems in all online gaming francises.
5) Hackers.
6)VIPs.
so many more, but those are the major reasons. Its not because we lag or the servers suck lmao. Its because of those reasons^. It's just honestly a bad game. But idk why i still play it >.> .I guess nostalgia gets the best of me. -
Nice read. Damn you pointed out all of the major issues of this game. If i was running this game then i would love to focus on these issues rather than releasing new VIPs or guns or maps.
I hope they buy the new servers because they already wasted soo much time restarting the god damn old rusty servers again n again. -

Exactly, VIP system has ruined this game in every possible way. look at the Ranking system. In past we hardly see any colonel in the lobby let alone in the room but now every room has 5-8 Marshals running down the streets with more than 8 VIPs. -

And their accounts are barely a year old and already missing the HSR... Yet they're still able to play. -
There is no love or communication between community (us) and admins. Why can't you listen to your community? Why don't you take our advice? Why don't you give us any info on whats happening to servers and why you can't hire capable people which are able to fix those laggs? Why can't you just close your servers for like a week and work on that lagg? In the meantime you are working more on new ZP stuff and new VIPs just because you want to make more money... and that is sad.

Best regards, Pirate slaughter.
Consider the effort the devs and employees put on fixing the game.
Consider the ammount of weapons they're developing ( for $$$$$ )
If you divide those two, you'll get the ammount of money i'll put back into the game.
If this keeps up there's nothing anyone can do.
All it needs is commitement, period.GeneralZezo2 wrote: »You made an effort on this thread and unfortunately they don't care.

"Today" they don't get banned instantly unfortunately
Also I HATE that you do no damage when the enemy is in the air. The amount of times I've died just because I did little to no damage on a jumping/falling enemy is infuriating. -
