You'll know what they'll say Taz, we're not forcing anyone into buying anything, it's all player choice.

I just don't understand gamers today at all. The whole point of playing a game is to get better, ok we all suck to begin with that's to be expected but these aimbotters are so obvious to see. I think some use the cheat in the hope of getting caught then use it as some kind of bragging right on a cheat site, makes no sense to me at all. Why would anyone want to be labelled as a cheater? You're marked for life, so to speak. Maybe that's the appeal, to get some kind of recognition. It's not just PB Taz, every anti-cheat site is hated because you stop these people from infesting the servers and running amok.

Microsoft gone too? Never! ;) I remember that popup as well, had to disable it as it was so annoying. I'm using Windows 10 now and so far it seems to run much better than Windows 7. I didn't upgrade to Windows 8 as I believe that was a mess as soon as it was released.

Merry Christmas all at PBBans! :D This year has flown too :o

Seems very quiet in here for this time of year ;) Merry Christmas All! Have a good one and don't get too drunk, ok you can ignore that last bit :D

Did anyone apply for the refund now it's out of EA?

That is shocking! Dare I ask how much they're charging for that?

Nice speed, shame it's wasted on CoD ;)

I've not tried it so can't say if it's good or bad, I stopped playing the game before it was added. It might take off on the consoles but I think it was a mistake for the PC and for the game in general, the time wasted on it could have been better spent imo.

It was good in some ways but bad in others, their decision to go with MTs and crate drops was not welcomed at all, then you have the addition of PvP, what? KF has never been about PvP and I believe it's still currently dead and has been since it was added. Add to that some of the weapons, commando for example which is my fav perk, the weapons are so similar. When you compare it to KF1, pick up an AK or a SCAR and the feedback from the weapon is perfect, you know exactly what weapon you're using, I didn't get the same feedback from KF2. The weapons also feel very weak and sound terrible, like airsoft weapons. The new zed abilities are very good, able to run, dodge and block but the player can also block and run away from everything, I believe every perk in the game can outrun any zed, where's the threat if that's possible? You can even block or parry a Fleshpound, the most dangerous zed in the game besides the bosses :o I've seen FPs wipe a whole team in seconds in KF1, now you just run away :P

I've already spoken to Yoshiro Taz, wished him well for the game but said it's not for me. With regards to their launches, only they can sort that out, it might not be the fault of Tripwire this time in a way, player expectation for KF2 was huge and that can go either way once it's released as early access, players expect a certain standard when it's released and it only takes one player to be disappointed and post on the forums and other people will notice that and maybe start questioning that design choice/idea themselves. It snowballs from there. Bringing in a new team was the best thing they ever did, they seemed to take hold of the game and put more focus on what direction they wanted to go, top marks for that! Typo :P

It's not that the game is bad, graphically it's superior to KF1 in every way but I'm not impressed by flashy graphics and their launch did a lot of damage I think, it was the same with RO2, Tripwire never seem to learn and always mess up a launch. It's had updates since then but a lot of the long time players of KF1 had either lost interest or moved on. The sad thing about that is they wanted to appeal to a new type of player, these are the sort of people that expect and demand an update or something new every month, I hope Tripwire can deliver because these people will be gone in a heartbeat. Certain things I do like about the game but a lot of things I don't. I have over 3,200 hours in KF1 but less than 20 in KF2 and then I removed it from my Steam account.

I don't think a lot of KF1 players do, the dev made a post some time ago asking why KF1 players were not moving to KF2, the replies were more or less the same, casual, MT's, crate system, auto lock on, no atmosphere, etc. This was my reply in that thread: No disrespect but the fact that you have to ask is why a lot of your hardcore fans are not even playing. I've moved onto another game so hopefully the replies you get here won't fall on deaf ears.

You think so? I love KF1 but I can't abide KF2. The game has had a lot of changes since release but for me it was too late, When they start adding auto lock on and auto aim weapons I lose interest very quickly. I won't even get into the MTs and crate drops as they don't affect gameplay but it's something I really dislike in any game, even more so if it's a follow up to my fav game :(

:lol: I see quality control will be putting in some overtime ;)

Why have they taken this route? Surely the whole point of renting a server is so you have full control and can keep the cheaters off it. That makes no sense to me at all. I don't know Fairfight at all so just Googled it and found this: It does not reside on the player's computer and does not examine the players' devices or perpetually look for the latest hacks. Sounds useless to me :lol:

I don't know if you were on Steam last night but I logged in around 6pm ish and I believe it had been down for around an hour then, rumours of a DDOS attack because of these bans. I also heard a whisper that 4 cheating websites were affected by this mass banning, my heart bleeds it really does ;)

Don't know how true it is but Steam is all over the place at the moment: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/52reva/yes_its_down/d7mmq22

Yes always nice to see but the numbers is shocking, over 4,000 in one wave. Anti-cheat needed now more than ever.

The new update for Windows 10 is causing some PCs to hang at either 45% or 95%, I got stuck at the former, this will explain it: http://news.softpedia.com/news/how-to-fix-windows-10-cumulative-update-kb3189866-getting-stuck-at-95-percent-508281.shtml Manually install it if your PC hangs.

Out the way, VAC coming through :D http://www.valvetime.net/threads/vac-largest-ban-wave-in-years-rolls-through.257091/

Personal pride is my guess, they don't like another website doing something better than what they can do themselves. So true! Communities in general seem to be disappearing, it's only clans that seem to keep that community spirit. Players now play a game for a week, get bored and move on and the devs are giving them games that appeal to that type of player. I don't ever want to see PB disappear, people put it down and say it's bad but without it gaming would be a complete nightmare and cheaters would run amok.

Thanks Slayer but I've uninstalled the whole program now, after getting the link from Sammad143 above I'm now using PlaysTV and it works great. Forgot to upvote his post as well, which has now been done. I might check it out again once I buy a new graphics card, assuming it's an NVidia ;)

Yes, as Slayer has posted above, the UI has a had a major overhaul and personally I think it sucks. The last one they were using was so user friendly, everything you needed was so easy to find, now they've put everything into menus or moved it around so you're playing hide and seek with your options, totally unnecessary and it looks terrible, like a mobile phone app :(

Didn't know it was so bad, I haven't touched another BF game after playing BF3 and that was a nightmare with the server disconnects. If you're looking for a good team game I highly recommend Insurgency and best of all the devs are bringing in a 3rd party anti-cheat to run alongside VAC, I hope that's PB! To the staff, give the devs a nudge and tell them you want PB streaming alongside VAC, ARMA uses a 3rd party anti-cheat alongside VAC (BattlEye) so I don't see why we can't have VAC and PB :D
