Lets say I raise a cheat violation on an official server, will I even be kicked off of the server? I'm not talking by PBBans, I'm talking through punkbuster itself. PB Detects a hack, and attempts to kick me, does it happen?

wait wait wait. First off, you cheated and gave the bullshit response that you used it to monitor your comp team, not only that but you're globally banned meaning you probably PAID a hack site to use it, and you are wondering why people like me would want to keep you off our servers? Are you serious? I have no sympathy for you at all. You are the exact reason I have cross game bans checkmarked. Here's your ban for the staff member who will make your account restricted. http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-07e90c5c-vb263317.html It's simple. You download a hack, you get caught, I don't ever want you on my server again. I don't care why you would download a hack at all.

You can have the same username, just change your current username and when you create your origin account make it the same. Of course you could run into a admin that would ban you for that too..

I recommend you get a new origin account, you will be cross game banned. http://www.pbbans.com/forums/enforce-mbi-bans-cross-game-t147262.html

Yes this appears to be a cheating screenshot. However the server in question is not streaming to PBBans, do you happen to own the server in question?

Mechanical drives are going to be gone in 4 years IMO.

Maybe even a link to a bf3 guid from bf4 (mpi) since technically they are the same guid. Links based upon cross games (ea only)

How do you know it's R2?

Recommend that you consider a paypal dispute or cc dispute if they won't give back your $

I copied and pasted it back to them, I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall, because you know I haven't used punkbuster ever in my life, nor have I been with other server providers who have given me this access.

LOL NFO isn't giving me FTP access to the pbsv.cfg file, wtf? Honestly I was happy to spend my money with these guys until today, first they raised the slot price on release day, now they are telling me we don't have access to the configuration file via FTP??? It's in the server documentation FFS....

Yup still deactivating...

I'll see if punkBuster.activate keeps the server alive, but I'm currently on that version...

R2 is out?

Posted here: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2955064765921732489/ I wouldn't have an issue if the quick match option could be used for both ranked and unranked.

Server documentation was released today: http://wiki.multiplay.co.uk/File:BF4_R1-ServerAdministratorDocs.zip Not sure how many of you rely on "quick match" for ranked servers on BF3, but I can say our clan does. Official is the only type of server that will allow players to join through "quick match" If a server is set to official admins cannot: Move player Kick player Kill player Ban player Use reserve slots So basically, you can set maps, set a name, and play... That's it. The only thing I didn't see was punkbuster being disallowed to ban players or kick players, which maybe a way around this "issue".

MInd if you link to the site?

Alright First thing I would honestly do, cut the ram down to 16 gb, you're never gonna touch 32 gb. Second thing I would do is use the extra $ on a bigger SSD or a R9 290x, or at least wait till mid November before buying a GFX card. In all honesty with black Friday around the corner, and the new GFX card releases, I would hold off until then. Also look into if you can drive to a microcenter, they have amazing deals on combo items. Speaking of that go through all of those items and see if you can find you a combo that may save you a bit of money. Sign up for shoprunner (free 30 days) if you want free 2 day shipping from newegg (most items). Last but not least check to see if you can find one of the mobile coupons that will take off $25 or so.

where are you getting the ratings per provider?

https://clients.fragnet.net/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0

Multiplay - $1.41 a slot, comes with free bf3 server(matching slots). 3 mo 10% discount, 6 mo 15%, and 12 mo 20% MyIS - $2.00 a slot, limited to 16,24,32,48 and 64 slots. No month to month discount I can see I3D - $1.15 a slot HOWEVER they charge for certain US locations, they charge for "unbranding". They offer discounts for long term Gameservers - $.97 a slot (IF YOU AGREE TO TWEET THEIR MESSAGE). 3 mo 5% discount, 6 mo 10%, 12 mo 15% NFOservers - $1.20 a slot, includes 15 slot mumble server. 2 mo 2.5% discount, 3 mo 10%, 6 mo 12.5%, 12 mo 15% Hypernia - $1.95 a slot, discount on TS server. Monthly discount coming later (as per talking with chat) Fragnet - $.90 a slot (PREORDER ONLY, WITH COUPON). Free procon layer and mumble server. Additional monthly discounts TrinityGames - $1.18 a slot??? No pricing currently listed however support said it would be the same as BF3 Anyways that's the list of North American providers (maybe more, but I cannot navigate their sites) and their pricing. Also I noticed a lot of sites have 70 slot servers. I have to ask though, why is ausgamers.com a provider? They have never offered gameservers before this...

Hypernia just released it's preorder pricing per slots at $1.95...... I'm paying less than half that now for BF3...

suprised they've patched it twice now.
