passwords

[Goad]

Passwords, Passwords, Passwords. What in the hell do these servers find themselves so special about themselves?? .... 1st TX-TX always moves 'em!. just the name of that server is a crock. Lee was "supposed to say that" but his judgement was wrong, at Antientam it was the 2nd MS that surpassed the TX regiments in that charge, by quite a bit actually. As a matter of fact, no TX Regt. outdid a MS Regt. at any time of the war lol. So yea, I'm fed up with damn passwords and such. I'm losing my desire to play the damn game anymore.

Haven't played in a while, are there so many PW secured servers?

Some organized events are passworded as both teams fill up each side. If you want to join those events join one of the units participating and it will guarantee you a spot. Some events are open to the public and advertise as such. If you have a unit and want to join the organized event system where these units go against one another. Find the larger units on the forums and message them on their threads to coordinate...

I'm confused, are you mad at the name of the server, name of the regiment, or passwords?

Join a regiment and find out.

[McMuffin]

So we don’t have to have you on our server.

[Bradley]

It has always worked for me to simply send a message out to the various companies hosting asking if it'd be okay for me to join whatever side needs help during an event. I think only two times I've been told I'm not welcome to join in, and both times I am pretty sure it is because the opposing team needed the help and the people I asked didn't want me on the opposing side.

[Oleander]

I mean you're more than welcome to shell out $111 every month to host your own server where you can let as many people in as you'd like.

[Poorlaggedman]

Behold: The Gatekeepers of fun.

If only someone could have predicted the community becoming event-oriented AF if no work was done on public gameplay :rolleyes:

It probably helps if you're a developer

I dont think all you people that are against passwords hate passwords. You just dont like playing with the mindless hordes of pubs who are on the public servers and you use the passwords as a scapegoat. During the NA/EU prime time, there is at least two relatively full servers that you can get on at anytime, and room is made when the regimental guys leave to join the server their regiment is going to. You would rather play with regiments who actually know how to play this game rather than the mass of pubs who might be brand new. You just dont like passwords because they inhibit you from playing with the competent players. It is not hard to get into these passworded servers, just join a regiment, or ask. But you will not because you feel proud to be independent and you wear it like a badge of honor. This is totally fine but then yall go on the forums and complain about how you cant get into locked servers. Literally every group is recruiting and would allow you into their regiment but I see why you havent joined any group yet, you complain all the time on the forums and many people dont want you and your entitlement bs. Your problems can be easily resolved but you refuse to because you want to feel special.

The nice thing about joining a Regiment, besides (almost) guaranteed you will get into a scheduled match, is you can also play on public servers. You don't have to choose one or the other. So you really lose nothing joining a Regiment, and can gain so much.

Saris, apologies for the earlier " harsh " words but, I feel I am competent enough to play with any damn one, that definitely includes yourself, apologies again. Take your entitlement BS accusations and shove it buddy. I did belong to a unit. There were 3-4 locked games last night and there wasnt nothing happening at other servers. Feel special huh?, not that, I just dont wanna be a part of a cliche that thinks they are.

I'll shove it in a passworded server ;)

Those 3-4 locked games you’re referring to were all pre-planned matches between regiments. The only reason they were password protected is a need to control who gets in so everyone is guaranteed a spot. Nine times out of ten, if it’s not full after the initial muster, the password is removed and anyone can join. It’s less about being exclusionary than it is coordinating the makeup of the groups.

Another point I’d like to make, at least in 1st Texas’ case, is we pay for that server out of pocket as a group. If you feel that strongly about it, you’re free to rent your own server where you can let in whomever you want.

Personally I dont have that much time and I spent 5 years in a semi-profesional clan, so I get the idea on how effort that is....also "join a regiment" can't be the full answer. I simply ignore the feeling special part, I am just a regular player and not a special regiment member ;)

That’s directed towards those who complain about not being able to join locked servers. If youre fine with playing 100% public, that’s your choice and that’s fine. Not everybody wants to join a group, but those who want to join locked servers and refuse to join a group that attends are just shooting themselves in the foot.

Every event our regiments have are opened up to the public after everyone in the participating regiments get in first. Lately, with the large influx of players returning and new players there has not been much room for public players.

Servers cost over $1,000 a year to rent. All our members chip in to pay for that so goddamn right we'll put a password on a server if we want. Passwords are one of the best things the devs added to the game, and I was leery of them at first.

I'm not sure what people envision when they think of joining a Regiment. It's not like drilling daily for hours, or people yelling at you. There's no latrine duty. It doesn't take up any extra time at all actually, depending on the Regiment you join.

You can join a regiment and play on passworded events AND still play in public events. I guess I don't understand the problem.

[Poorlaggedman]

Clans in a game like this are social groups for events. Peel back the banana administrations and take a gander. So there's no real-time commitment, of course, why the hell would there be? It's about control. I'm not too proud, I'm just not inclined to tie myself to random idiots who may or may not deserve respect at any given time.

It was no different in my last community. And you know what happened when the community organized by your's truly and it was pubs vs 'units?' The units were crushed. Every. Time. They were paper dragons. Nobody truly needed them or wanted them because what they were yearning for was just being funneled through the clan experience. Only a few small non-realism units were around after a year of that. It's kind of freaking hard to exist in that business when you get humiliated time and time again and people can freely go to events and have a good time without requiring membership. People were just too lazy before that to organize and to run proper events and the darn games keep getting made so as to necessitate events to everyone's downfall.

Hence the slew of standard introductions for noobs in this game and on these forums and on steam to just 'join a [clan]' because it's necessary to play the game properly and it's 'not really that big of a deal' to do so in the first place. I'm not anti-clan. I'm not a clan supremacist and you people get so confused like a duck hit on the head when someone challenges the idea that this is not a normal or healthy state of affairs for the community to exist in.

I promise you I will do the same to all these units. I will sit on you. Screenshot it, share it with your buddies, have a laugh, rest back on your loins. I will make it my business to break the clan monopoly on fun in this game.

If the devs could only do us a damn favor and either work on public gameplay to make it organically flow better or just embrace it being an event-driven experience. This limbo we're in is completely detrimental. How the hell are you going to run an event right now if the host can edit starting morale values and it not be transparent? How are you going to have crashes and server kicks that are indiscernible from one another? Heaven forbid we can put announcements in the center of the screen because it breaks immersion. You have to come with your own army to do basic things with a reasonable expectation of success and the clans are naturally vehemently opposed to many such improvements because they are what they are.

I have played passworded events with 1st Georgia, 1st Texas, 9th Georgia Cav, and 9th NY prior to becoming a developer (I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple, sorry). It really is just as simple as asking nicely to join the server somewhat before the event goes live.

It's not really that big of a deal. It's easy to join one and it's easy to still play on public servers. I suspect private servers will be here forever regardless of weird threats to sit on them.

And yet, that is by definition what pub play is.

[Soulfly]

Pretty much why I turned my back to WoR. In Squad/ Post Scriptum the "regiments" are totally different and a lot more open towards public plays, imagine they even support newbies and offer trainings....

WoR is walking the complete other direction, at least that is my experience...I have been cursed and met a level of arrogance so far unchallenged. Just my personal experience, this must not reflect all regiments before you hit me with that.

[SUWAROW]

Again against password? Really? Maybe it's not a problem of regiments that public servers are empty? we sometimes play there, but honestly we don't get any pleasure from insulting us on the basis of nationality. So don't fucking ruin what you have. And this is a stable community of players consisting of regiments that continue to play it no matter what.

[PeytonT]

Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.

[Pvt.Williams]

I was hoping to find some passwords, actually. there aren't any public servers that have people on them , and the servers WITH people are passcoded. I'm not a troller or some spammer, i just want to play the game.

Then I reccommend to find and join a regiment. There you will have both - password and a lot of players. And sensible ones too...

Well check this out, I cant even get into a II Corp 5thVa & 6thLA drillcamp server, its telling me "admin decision"..... Like WTF???????

[Jackan]

That means you have been banned Goad Shots

[Redleader]

I'll try and see what is the issue.

[Goad]

Thanks Redleader! .... I only came there to see if I could run into some old buddies. Jackan, can you give some more specific details why I would be banned? As of now, I say you're full of BS

[Goad]

Got it now, the "Goad Shots" come from the incompetent 6thAL. You guys were teamkilling like crazy and then would retaliate whoever spoke out against it. Great job 6thAL

it's really hard to imagine a level of arrogance in a game that doesn't keep score. Who can really know if you're any good or not? More than half the shots you take in the game, not even you know if you hit the target.
