It will be cold most places, I think that is for certain. CF COLD CUP
also I think it's not up to the community because it's caused by your rule that teams that ain't participating in cb season can't play in cf cup and not everyone want to take part in cb cups for various reasons.
why would you follow clanbase rules in crossfire cup anyway? 1 person force some awful software in his cups just to make it easier to him to identify players (because I doubt it gonna have some other usage and gonna bust anyone), and now you all gonna do what he tells you? wouldn't it be better to do some kind of encounter with respected and active players/admins/users/whoever you think suits for this job, and decide what to do rather than listen to a crossfire 3 years old member and let him decide by his own? 8)
I understand that some people are choosing to not use UAC but what's the issue with signing up to CB cups? assuming both CF/CB cups did or didn't use UAC, whatever, why would any teams prefer to play @ cfcup alone instead of EC? both cups run pretty much the same. also we believe in the use of dual signups to stop players playing for multiple teams across different tournaments, makes matches complicated as hell and an entire season can be delayed by shit like that (not forgetting stabs).
i've been playing et for 7 years and almost always I got a browser opened in the background while playing ET, because getting fulls/pauses/warmups/searching for oppos usually takes some time. And it's boring to look at the screen with ET opened for these minutes when nothing really happens in game just because I can't minimise ET because I'm forced to use UAC. And I don't want other people to see what do I do in a meantime, even if I just check some random sites, anyway it's my private thing.
Also I'm quite sure I would forget about deleting screenshots or stopping scaning system right after game 50% of the time. why? because i never had to do this before for years and I would rather spend these few minutes for anything else than going through some shit screens and delete them.
what's a good reason for using uac then? i can only see comments that state it's a good way to identify players. And if uac is only forced because of this 1 reason, we could as well use tzac for this, everyone got it, knows how does it work, and hardly anyone had problems with it. Please don't tell me it gonna detect some cheats and ban somebody. people that play active on some level are not that stupid to use some random hacks on the anticheat, doesnt matter if it's uac or tzac. and ones who use these random hacks were easy to catch on tzac. anyone else who think serious about cheating and would like to do this, gonna do this anyway, because chaplja does cheats for tzac and afaik he does them for uac also, and it's easy to purchase them from him, not much you can do about this.
I would understand using UAC if they wanted to support ET for next 1-2 years. But knowing the project gonna be closed by the end of a year, and still willing to support it just to know who do we play against is just crazy. I would rather suggest those people who want to force UAC so bad in their league to spend this time on looking for something more stable and more user friendly.
i wrote some nice wall of text and I got to go now , so I have no idea if it has any logic, but it should be understable what i'm trying to say :P
this pretty much sums up why everyone doesn't want to play with UAC. laziness (no offence) is what makes ET the hardest community to make changes to. new maps? soz too lazy to learn new positions. new AC? soz cba to delete some screens or click the stop scanning button. it's the same damn song playing over and over for years now. :D
and I highly doubt UAC "scans your HDD" - more likely it does something like what PB (and TZAC) did which was scanning your RAM to see what software you've been using recently. something along those lines anyway.
not sure if troll or serious
yep.
if supply had been released in 2009/2010 as a new map it would have never been adopted into competition.
understood it yet? the community doesn't like any form of change that involves effort from everyone as a whole. that includes a) adding a uac guid to cb b) practicing new maps (or even old maps that slowly fell out of the rotation) and c) the initial whine when slac was released that people didn't want to have to open SLAC every time they wanted to play ET.
pretty much.
bullshit. people like you claim that "Reasons have been stated and presented multiple times" for why UAC is a bad implementation but each one of those reasons has been replied to and you simply ignore those responses. :D I saw some argument where Cupra literally repeated the same sentence about the screenshots over like 4 comments because there was genuinely nothing more to say.
for one single season you and your teammates would've needed to delete unwanted screenshots or stop scanning while you minimise to chat on facebook. there's nothing more you have to complain about.
You're ignoring their reasons just as much as they are your counter argument. People don't want to put up with deleting 95% of their screenshots - every. single. game. You can't make people quit their habits of minimizing during the game.
We're at the point where even TZAC, as "bypassed" and "leaky" as it is given recent events would still be a better choice. ohurcool claims the sole reason he forces UAC for is to identify players, if that were the case... stick to TZAC, it has all that. UAC's detection and cheat prevention is near to non-existent, worse than PB even in its latest days or current days in rtcw. Global password reset took care of chaplja accessing accounts, the client he released is an issue, but not nearly as much as how many cheats are out there for UAC already, grzesiek claims to have bypassed it merely by making a tiny alteration using a hex editor, that's... utterly retarded. Simply put, UAC does not introduce anything we don't already have access to or can be made available to us by other and easier means, so.. why bother?
Fortunately that is not a problem, as UAC will be used this season. There really isn't much discussion in terms of its actual use any more people will always like it or lump it.
I've said it over and over: the only two possibilities are using UAC or using no AC at all. So, we are using UAC.
UAC has been used for multiple games (BF3, CoD2, CoD4, etc.) in multiple leagues (ClanBase, CyberGamer, TWL, etc.) for almost 8 years and has no security or privacy issues whatsoever.
We listen to every objection from every player, but it is tiring to have to read the same garbage every day from players who haven't even bothered to download the anticheat. That is why it seems like we are being redundant - everyone else is too.
I can't think of any situation in which a player would be in such a hurry to leave his PC immediately after an offi that he doesn't have the time to make one click with his mouse.
chaplja agreed and accepted the money, he disappeared around 2013 new year and didn't show up until like february whilst still accepting the funding. Marcus tried calling him etc then he started making excuses about running from the cops because of tax evasion or someshit, then around march roughly he decided to shut down the tz-ac.com domain without informing anyone.
chaplja is able to hack anyone's account and get them banned as he has every single tzac-user password and is abusing them.
