Rename the servers already

Yeah, it is already the time to remove Europe server and rename it in Arab server, cause it's already to hard to find someone who at least can speak english/german/french. Only some incomprehensible spam like s2ad 542fa s45dfd as4f2s ad54f. It is not like i hate this kind of code, but:

1. Abusing game mode rules and not even listen of complaiments. Block enterances? Sure

2. Even teammates is working against you just cause they teamed up with someone from another team. Like hunting at survivor in S&D together with enemy.

3. Abusing weapon gliches. Sorry, if you playing in HMX and due to some guys got spamming TMP you cannot ever leave your spot AS XENO WITH SHIELD. And this is not the problem with my skill, you know.

4. Lagging all over the room. Yeah, try to fight AXE user when his ping is in 3 digit. LBM is always counted first and you got your head smashed EVEN if you hit enemy first.

So transfer the servers to those abusive arabs and leave us some channels, where we can quietly spend our time and enjoy the game. Please!

  • Region lock is the only possible solution. Z8 just won't ever do this. Egypt and other Arab countries have to leave EU. They are not EU. They are Africa or Middle East.
    They have their own server. But they don't know what MENA stands for and I suspect they can't even read what the game buttons do so theit crossfire life is 100% luck based and random clicks.
    Z8 should just force them for a month to play in their region where they got all the advantages. But no, they continue to lag on EU and NA.
  • I so agree with you guys...

    Its a new game with same win rate as spinning capsules, try to find a lagger free server.
    In CFEU we had the chinese, and here we have the arabs.
    Soon i just give up...
  • There are barely any non egy or non arab players in this game. Their server would be full while our server would be almost empty.

    Then give them more servers. Nothing bad. Or you play on NA as EU. Our internet connections can handle even a ping of 300. But if you have som KB as download and upload in Africa, the same ping really screws you up. You spectate people flying across the map with a ping of 150 so many times and they're almost exclusively Arabs.

    They had a Region Lock a few Years Ago they Blocked the German Region out, but after they saw that a lot of the new players where was coming from Germany wanted to Play NA instead of Eu Version they removed it finally after i think 4-5 Years, i had the luck to have 9 years now my Official account where wasnt restricted then by the Region Lock because it was created before the Region Lock

    I don't think region lock is the only possible solution, there are 2 problems currently at play of which you already described one:
    1. Most players from the MENA region don't notice there is a server especially dedicated to their region.
    2. The MENA server is not yet error free
    The first problem is easily solved:
    • Translation, most players from the MENA region speak Arabic, simply add a Arabic translation on the necessary sentences so players that have a harder time understanding English can easily spot the MENA server is dedicated for their country.
    • Information, a forum thread in which is described what countries can best play on the MENA server + a link to this thread added in game.
    The second problem is all up to the GM's, the way servers are populated is heavily decided by the errors players receive in them. For example: players get Network Errors in EU Delta for like 30 minutes, they all move to another server for the entire day while the errors might already be fixed. Same goes for MENA, so it should be stable for the MENA population to actually move there.
  • Thought I'm the only one thinking like this, I'd be completely fine with servers only for players located in North Africa/Middle East and a server only for European players. And maybe a server for both, in case someone wants to play together with their friend from another continent. But oh well..we know that's not going to happen, we can only dream about it lads
  • I personally hate the MENA servers, considering most players come from this region the EU/NA server will probably be near empty if all MENA based players would actually move to their own server.

    Well let it be, I rather have less room with NA player than a lot of room with all laggers and hackers

    I was always wondering. How can all the Arabs not understanding even the simplest things like vote f11 or F12 (they simply ignore it) but at the same time install the game, make an account, open the game and even play. And even know which guns to use or what the modes mean. They don't speak a single word english but know what the game tells them besides anything actually useful.

    Let's not libel a certain nationality of hacking, but you make a fair point on the part they often lag since they're just to far from the server.

    What you seem to miss, is that the main reason this version exists is because of the Egyptian community. If they would get a region lock or their own version I'm certain CF West will meet the same faith as CF EU.

    Upon creating a account you can just fill in random stuff, you don't need to actually have to read it (though I would strongly advice against that).

    ​​​Other than that, it's just random clicking to find out. For example, at times I log in to CF China to check things in their version, I don't speak a word of Chinese but still can find what I'm looking for by randomly pressing everything.

    Well let it be STILL, if this game die then let it die, theres plenty of other shooting games out here. The community has spoken, every one is sick and tired of them, but yet still plays. What we need is a region lock for either their server or this game thats the only solution, 90% of them dont even speak or read english, they just log in into the game and join randoms game without even notice they SUCK and are annoying for all of us.

    Wait so you rather see this game death than to play with people from the MENA region..?
  • Majority of them are annoying but few that try to type in English to ask for gun which I like and give since I can’t stand when others spam crouch or follow. About cheaters yea many of them play this game so makes sense to see cheaters coming from there. But lately I’ve seen cheaters that are from NA or some that are NA/UK with an egypt name when they aren’t actually egy most times.

    I get mad to but at the end of the day it falls with z8 to implement a proper report system and devs to stop being cheap and get an anti cheat that works. Like for example that kid who was posting on forums literally cheating is not even banned he said he just got forum ban. Like what? How do you have time to forum ban but not account ban? Not that it matters he has accounts lined up probably judging by his forum alts.

    Hey its CF though get use to all the problems or quit like many others have already.

    You know CF since you have an english CF. You know what the buttons do by heart. But an Arabic or African player has no Arabic pendant to the english CF.
    I assume there would be fan translations, but z8 banned all .rez modding.

    Well the MENA region actually has a illegal version of it's own, but considering talk about that is not allowed in this forum we should let any further discussion regarding it rest.

    Not any game like CrossFire to my knowledge (Not that's free to play anyway), with the same modes and the many different weapons and weapon skins that you can collect. The weapon collecting are a big part of why i personally play CrossFire. To me a game that has 10-15 weapons, gets boring after a month, new weapons is whats keep me going.

    You also have to look at it from Z8 point of view = More players mean more money. Too little profit means servers are not worth having. Weighing 10 irritated non MENA players leave and 1000s of MENA players stay against the opposite, what do you think they will choose?

    Just because they are banned, it doesn't mean they are not used. If people can hack a game, using translations can't be that much harder.

    Banned as in they became server-side. You can mod your .rez all you want and decrypt them, they will be overwritten by server-sided ones.

    People always finds new ways if they want something really bad. I have played other games where people have manage to do the same, no matter what Developers and GMs do. If preventative measures worked 100%, there would be no hackers in the game either, which is definitively true. I've seen GMs and Developers in other games trying to totally ban Hackers with every kind of way you can block someone. A week or two and the same hackers were online again, mocking the gaming companies inability to do anything permanent.
