It is really out of hand...

Glitching - Abusing an in-game bug to gain an advantage over other players.

I had to sit in base 1 trying to work on a map and at the same time kicking out any players that glitched by going beyond the walls of the base 1 bunker. It started to take its toll, until they started glitching in other bunkers (Which was hard to keep up with). This made it hard for me and very frustrating trying to keep things orderly. It's been going on for around an hour and still going as I type up this thread. *At this point in my thread I litteraly just kicked another one. This is a fact not me trying to emphasise my point*

When GPs were first requested by other players, I didn't really think glitching had a strong hold of Zone. Now, as my title states, it is really out of hand. An overwhelming population of Zone has started to glitch and they sure want to make a habit of it. Some of my friends tryed to help me out by PMing wherever a glitcher was found, yet it didn't help much. I've wasted so much time solving a problem that shouldn't be there. Firm rules need to be set for these glitchers. I would take a screenshot but I really don't think it would make a difference. There are far too many *Sorry another one I have to kick*. As I was saying, it wouldn't make a difference as there are far too many glitchers to deal with alone. I'm afraid now that when I have to log out, the glitchers will be able to roam free spoiling the players fun.

Something needs to be done. NOW!

Agreed. In my opinion every ET should actually be a GP, ET, and FAQ. They should get a tool for jailing naughty players, the jail would have it's own dropship where people can visit/laugh, etc. The jail can have options such as muting the player, timejailing, etc.

Another bug that has been abused by almost EVERYONE at one point in time or another, the infinite proximine/explosive glitch. The easiest solution I see is to make all explosives 2 handed. That's the cause, the reaction would be that they use the 1 handed glitch and glitch more proxies than before. It would help though, only one glitch would have to be fixed instead of two. The bunker-space-void glitch could probably be solved by infinite proximines being placed in space, these would be nuetral and would blow up both teams, or occasionally on KOTH all 4 teams.

I don't like the idea of proxies being neutral. Imagine the team killing on purpose!

I agree. It used to be hacking; now it's just easier to glitch. GPs are most definately needed.

Indeed I agree but we need Vulcan to decide who to make GP.

Aye, it should all be up to Vulcan, so I don't wanna hear crap from any of you making purposals. I just heard why somebody thinks they'd be perfect for the job. In under 2 minutes of hearing them rant about why they'd be best, I'm already sick of the topic. GP's are needed. It's up to Vulcan so don't start begging, please.

I will talk with Stefan about having something done about this. I'm not sure what our solution will be yet though. I'll also close this thread so people don't start making posts asking for a job as GP.
