We're back to running just one rookie server due to bandwidth constraints, and we've updated the name to 'Noobs ONLY (under 100 hrs)'
I'm taking another trip out to California, so we'll need help keeping an eye on things again. -

Vets shouldn't be fighting in the field at any point, not even to jump out of the chair and kill a lone skulk destroying your base. I understand how maddening that can be, but the goal is to teach the rookies to handle these … -
@casino99royal - If your steam profile is unfinished or set to hidden, we may have just assumed the worst, or otherwise you may have been mistaken for a smurf. E…

"Competitive and public balance - impossible to achieve both within one build?"
Pretty much, yeah. -
There's no server command to alert us unfortunately, but you're more than welcome to add me or Haplo on steam and give us a poke if you see something amiss. Between the two of us we have most of the hours of the day covered, but we don't always have…

If you look back farther in this thread @currently, you will see that we previously allowed vets to play support-only field roles, but it got unwieldy. Too many diff…

Ah, so you're not a complete wretch after all. Would be nice if that had been your first response instead of 'no comment'. All the same, I think we'll keep you on the list and probably never turn sv_cheats on again. -
I'll make sure your ID gets removed from our list, Ghost.

Yep, that's what we're doin.

Completely disgusted by most of the responses in this thread. Apparently it's okay to hack a server as long as you use really clever code to do it? I have no words for that.
We wiped the server and rebuilt it from scratch, issued a warni… -
There are some great people in this community, but after weeks / months of monitoring these servers, both Haps and I have become extremely bitter and disgusted by the behavior of most of the vets out there. I can probably count on my fingers the num…

So just because he does it for giggles, that somehow makes it completely acceptable behavior? You just made your opinion forever irrelevant to me.
I hope your bank account gets hacked by someone who does it just 'for gi… -
Had to take all of our servers down when they dropped 261 on our heads. Server started experiencing some major latency problems afterwards, we are leaving noob server #2 offline to reduce load while we investigate.
Update: Decided to ins… -

And I have to agree with Haps, this is about the least helpful response from a dev I'd expect after having our server hacked.
Noobs Only Server #2 is now online.(Quote)
Looking into cloning the server now. In general though, I think that 'rookie only' should have been an optional serverside variable from day 1, along with an increase of rookie tag duration. Our noobs only server has been hugely po…Yeah, I have to say that sv_cheats allowing clients to upload any kind of code to the server like this is... just, really stupid. Why is it set up this way?Server reactivated for the steam autumn sale. Vet commander / spectator coaches welcome!Agree 1000% with OP.@wolfsuitmischief
Basically what Haplo said. If you had less than 100 hours, the only reason you might get removed is if you had an insanely high …(Quote)
As far as I know, all the admins have been giving out warnings in almost every instance before activating the banhammer, and in most cases you wouldn't even get noticed unless your KD starts to look pretty lopsided. Furthermore, in…(Quote)
I don't know that I would use the word maliciously, but there certainly seems to be no shortage of vets that enjoy it, or simply don't care about or respect people who are new to the game enough to exhibit some measure of se…(Quote)
We had been allowing vets to play 'support only' for that exact purpose, due to the efforts of players like Joederp and a few others, but it's started causing problems with some vets' interpretation of what 'support only' means and…@Malavial
You can safely assume that 40-1 marine got banned too. The only times we've allowed vets in the field, we've stipulated that they have to play a…Oh, and I'd like to thank everyone who has jumped into the server to help coach the new players. It's been a great success so far, despite the ludicrous number of vets who have ignored the title of the server and admin warnings to go on rookie murde…We have no current plans to remove the rookie friendly tag from the main DFA server, as we still welcome new players there and will do our best to help them there as well.
