  1. As someone who has been following this very closely since the announcement, I am a huge fan of what they're doing with it, especially that they are involving the legendary Mike Pondsmith with the development  and that they're releasing a new edition of the original Cyberpunk 2020 game to coincide with the new videogame. Just, phenomenal. Very excited.


  2. I should respond to this somehow, specifically because I think I'm already partly to blame for at least some of this...

     

    First off, I do want to thank you for writing this. It is actually reassuring that you'd consider this a matter that requires bringing some attention towards.

     

    My first days back, witnessing both Ratchet and Salem being dealt with is quite unnerving. I feel like, even through Salem did present the resignation in an inappropriate manner, it also voiced genuine opinions.

     

    Something must be done about events like these, however. My burning question is this: "What can be done?" Personally, I'd recommend outright deletion. If it is not fit to be for the public eye to see, why keep it there? Once again, it leads to that ever looming silence among newcomers to leave such things up for all to view... Not to say that has transpired was wrong on anyone's part, I simply wish that there were better ways to deal with occurences like these without being called out on censership or adding fuel to the fire.

     

    The reason I left SLMC last year was because no matter where I went, there would always be the simple fact that it was easier to break the rules than to follow them. Such were the woes of the ROE, and the reason I concluded that SLMC wasn't for me. Now that your group moved away from that Archaic system, all I see are positve things. But some things still need work if we're to truely grow as a community.

     

    I hope I am not offending anyone with writing this, that's the list thing I'd wish in spite of all this...

     

    The reason we don't outright delete those kinds of topics, is because we wouldn't want to take away someone's right to say they're leaving, and furthermore we wouldn't want to make them feel any sort of validation if they try to claim we're censoring them and their accusations. Optimally, we would like for people to feel like if they're uncomfortable here, they can just say their goodbyes without writing out a entire letter about why they feel valid in trash-talking our group/members. If someone can just be mature enough to accept that they dislike the changes we're making, or that they're willing to put past their differences with individuals, and simply say "It's my time to leave, Goodbye", then we wouldn't see any threads like these.

     

    The problem comes in, when they try to argue and throw out accusations or trash talk on individuals, while trying to leave. It's cowardly, for starters that someone would basically take their time to talk up a bunch of shit, and then leave and cower away from any retort. There have been many members of our group who have left that have been more than welcome to participate with us (Ethan, Karlhockey, Aelus, and many more I could list from the Aeternus group), even if they're just visiting or still participating with us unofficially, because none of these members saw fit to throw out accusations at Aryte or others on their way out.

     

    None of us in this group have ever enjoyed seeing our members leave, we don't want them to leave, nor do we want to fight with them on their way out, but when they go out of their way to talk down on us as individuals or as a group, we as a community are going to defend ourselves and our members. That's just how it is.

  3. I think Scarlet is looking to head up BF3? Not sure. I know the fella plays the hell out of it.

    I'd like to. I'm mostly just looking to figure out how I'll be able to fund a server. :V

     

     

     

     

    Would I be allowed to make a platoon for MOHWF? I know some people have it and play it. If I do, is there any specific uh... structure I need to apply? As far as like name, etc?

    We already have one.

     

     

    For reference, here's our Platoon for Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor: Warfighter

  4. As of current, it is still listed on Steam, however it is unavailable for purchase. http://store.steampo...com/app/226700/

    Because they lost their trademark on their game title "WarZ" (see my post above), they will now have to change the title entirely, which means eventually either steam will remove it, or rename it. Either way, it's gotten so bad that they're already being hit with lawsuits from people over the refund thing, which is illegal.

    In all likelihood the developer/publisher are going to have to pay out to their customers that they screwed over, and chances are they aren't going to without kicking and screaming and making themselves look worse, since they are clearly incapable of even the most insignificant of apologies.

    Kinda sad really, they set out to make a shitty pandered knockoff cash-grab of a successful mod of ARMA2, and they end up ruining their careers in the entire industry.

  5. Yep. Steam has been handing out refunds left and right.

    Also apparently their official game art uses stolen photos from the internet that they didn't pay for, including some taken from AMC's The Walking Dead.

  6. Also, for anyone who might look for a refund if you bought it through steam; If you want a refund, file a ticket directly through Steam, nowhere else. Do not request a refund on their forum on their page/forum on Steam, you will be banned. Do not send a email or support ticket through thewarz.com or their private forums, you will be banned.

    If you bought it elsewhere, you're Ffffed.

  7. What's the company name? I want to make sure I never purchase anything from them, ever.

    "Hammerpoint Interactive", which is a fake company created by "Arktos Entertainment", who created a game called "War Inc." which "WarZ" is a direct port of, all of which are published by a literally nonexistant publisher (seriously I dare you to google any of these companys) called "OP Productions".

    Also, they updated their TOS for their game so that it now states that you are no longer allowed to request nor recieve a refund

    ONCE YOU AGREE TO THIS TERMS OF SERVICE AND THE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR THE GAME (THE “EULA”) AND SERVICE FOR THE GAME COMMENCES, YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND FOR ANY AMOUNTS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION PAID BY YOU FOR THE USE (OR FUTURE USE) OF THE GAME CLIENT OR THE SERVICE.

    Which is is a violation of US FTC Agreement/Law - http://www.ftc.gov/b...s/redress.shtml
