Why is it this way?

I joined the forums around in the middle of October-start of November
But i was reading the forums for quite a long time.
The threads back then were nice. A lot of funny ones. People kinder.
Now some months after the forums died suddenly. A burst of racist against brazilians,QQing about hackers,Shouting against z8 for doing everything wrong,failed patch,kick vote suggestions,remove the kick system etc
I have one and simple questions.
You say you like CF and want to see it go better. But the heart of CF is in these forums. And you insist in destroying the forums.
People say always after a patch "fail patch" even though we get nice weapons and stuff they QQ because they see 1 hacker or 2. They also say we get stuid things because they don't get the weapon they wanted.
Brazilians are peopl. The are not the ones that hack(or at least the only ones). It's not their fault they lagg. They don't have their own server or version of the game so they join ours(the one closest to them)
Hackers are indeed an issue but GMs take a lot of reports every day and it's impossible to watch all the replays and see if the person really hacks.
GMs have a life you know, and hacking isn't the only or the main issu e of the company.
Z8Games does everything they can to bring good stuff.
Do we really need to be like the chinese version who has a million reskins of a weapon or overpowered ones.
Kick system is based in democracy which is the fairest system(majority)
It can't be changed in any way. Give host instant ingame kick abilities? It's becoming more of the rule-of-one. Give kick vote to high ranks/ZP buyers? This would be unfair for other players. So the kick system is fine as it is.
It's the people that abuse it.
Forums are the heart of the community.
It has now become as you call some people in game: "immature kids"
We made one step further. We ruined the game from the inside. The forums should be a place where intelligent discussions or nice debates/discussions happen.Even some funny threads.
We ruin the game from the inside by ruining the forums.
We must stop doing that.

  • People are going to be people. If they don't get what THEY want, right NOW, then they aren't happy. It's quite sad but that's how the world works. It's all about me, myself, and I, for the majority. The forums make up a VERY small portion of what is known as the CF community, but you are right it is an important part. We should focus more on repairing the broken spirit of the people here, but it's easier said than done. Trust me.

    +1 to your thoughts and opinions. Keep up the good work.
  • well we get all the noodle heads that cant go round a shop and get cod and they expect everything thats in cod in a free game. we just got to hope 2011 will change the way people are acting and they can grow up

    Wrong. When hack-ers get a kik vote 8/6 they stay even though 8>6...

    It's the community and are luck that fails. Hackers don't get kiked pros do. Such is life. I stopped cf (still try the missions). Will get zp when hack$ will be gone (obviously they aren't all leaving but at least get rid of the free hack$).

    That's all fokes. Btw nice thread
  • Even in real life elections there has to be an amount of people voting for the vote to count.That's what happens here

    Forums are the heart and the brain of the CF community the mos important parts. We need to do something right now though. There are a lot of people here who try to repair the broken spirit but htey are most times misunderstood and flamed.

    well most the people dont vote so a hacker is getting kicked in a 8vs8 the votes 9-2 and bang its 9-7 becuse 5 people didit bother voteing
  • There is a problem with the kick voting system though. The people who don't vote get counted as f12's, instead they shouldn't be counted at all.
  • OK. That's an improvement that could be made. But other Subjects such as QQing about guns and hackers is just killing the forums.
    Don't you think that all people must read the forum rules instead of this being optional?

    I agree 100%. I think this would fix A LOT of the problems where cheaters don't end up getting kicked because so many people don't vote. Unless the vote is at the start of a round, you're not going to get a full vote.

  • +1 Great thread hypername. <3
    Thank you very much

    LOL this has been quoted 100 of times on that forum and it is the same as it was since I play CF .Can you tell me why ?
    Now that you agree 100% with this , should we expect that it will get fixed or changed soon ?
    By the way , most of the time when I disagree with a vote kick , I don`t vote cause I know it will count as F12.;) So maybe many people do like me :eek:

    You do realise z8 is not responsible for which content is placed in-game. It's the developers.

    Of course this is another brilliant idea that hasn't been put in place. I really do hope the developers start listening to the players:).

    Actually M4A1 Silver and AK-47 Silver are only in our version of CF
  • Our version of CF is a great game and i strongly prefer it from other games.
    We have no overpowered guns and only a few stupid reskins.
    But we have one of the worst communities.
    Other games have communities helpful and dedicated to help the game.
    What we only have is the majority of the community being unhelpful,trolling and QQing.
    We havee to do something to help the community in any way possible.

    It's not going to get any better neither, unless they start listening to the players.

    I do agree however the community is getting worse. It's not just in the forums though. Like MOD Polleus stated. It's like how the real world is today, All about Me, myself and I.

    I don`t think that the DEVs. come on the forum to see and read . They probably take orders from someone to create what they have to create
    . That someone receives feedback from Forum staff ( Mods. Gms. Etc. )
    " well I think it`s like this it works lol"
  • Actually GMs have influence in what comes in the game and what isn't
  • personal opinion...when the 200+ ping started.

    I think the BRs found our game more attractive then anyothers...and the less mature (who would have kept their opinion to themselves at the time) gamers found it difficult to play, so started to rage. The majority of BRs themselves started to use hacks to help them actually get some gaming done...they got tired of taking forever to kill the normal
    pingers.

    The rage generated by the kids started to affect the more mature, but frustrated gamers.

    Thus leading to our current demise.

    I think the problem would be fixed if the BRs got their own server, yes i know it's not going to happen in my life, but once the laggers leave, than we can concentrate on the hackers, and when they go, the kick noobs will just be ignored.

    I have nothing against BRs as a nation or people. but the laggers and pings i encounter are really the reason of frustration for any person to turn hacking...they just want to play like we do...

    and if the game goes down...then so do the forums...

    " well I think it`s like this it works lol"

    So it's like Chinese whispers...

    No wonder all the suggestions on forums never get acted upon.
  • You got a point here
    This immaturity is the real problem of CF
    If the brazilian serve happens ever then:
    1)People won't QQ of brazilians lagg and hack
    2)The forum will get better

    Yep, thats right and that goes back to the DEVS not listening to the players:).

    They need a server for themselves. But yet, no server for them.

    Let us see what you stated in your main post at another angle .
    I remember when Xtrap came , all the forum were like " thanks Z8 " it was a happy community.then begin the era of the mission stuffs .From that moment the hacking problems took a bigger dimension . Why ? simple to understand ." People stopped to kick the hakers to be able to get the WIN for HIS mission ".So the hakers understood that they are welcome in those type of mission and they nested there.Then when there were tooooooooooooo many in the nest , they begun to spread out and the plague begun ." they are not wanted in other game apart from the mission , then people begin to kick blindly .
    Now that the plague has taken over the game and that people are getting mad at the in game situation , they come on the forum and spit their rage .
    And as things are not easy and fast done by the RESPONSIBLE PARTIES , the community has gone mad and now QQ for no reason .
    For me I don`t think that the community has change , there still some nice persons on the forum , jokes are still around . " Wait that the in game situation get fixed and you will see the some sunshine back on that forum ":)
    This was my personal angle of view.;)

  • There are STILL fun/joke threads and nice people in the forums but
    the large majority now is raging people. That's what we need to change.
    As i stated before the forums are the heart and the brain of the game if we destroy them the game will become worse and worse

    Nope look at it the other way broski :D People in-game come to rage on forums.

    Hence why there are so many threads identical. Because they have never heard of the 'search' button.

    Not quite...i think that the game itself affects the forums.
  • Not quite...i think that the game itself affects the forums.
    Forums and the game are tied together.
    If the one dies the other one dies too.
  • I think of something
    What can WE forumers do to stop these threads and the rage?
