Here's another possible solution. Put an announcement on Assist that exploiting the 18B slot to get an 18C will now be a bannable offense. This will deter most of them and the rest will get caught eventually by the community.

EDIT: Talked to roxii. He denied it at first. Then he tried to tell me he had an old version of assist, but agreed to stop exploiting it when I asked him, so we'll see. I told him it may become a bannable offense.

If he has the money to spend, going AMD for CPU is a joke. Yes, the 8350 is a damn good CPU for its price and can run any game, but it's still not really comparable to a newer i5, much less an i7 for gaming.

Note the 9590 is better than the 8350. Also note the 9590's ridiculously high clock and power consumption.
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/62166-amd-fx-9590-review-piledriver-5ghz-17.html
In other words, the i7 4770 pretty much beats the 9590 in every way and draws much less power and produces much less heat at a lower clock.  Also keep in mind that the 9590 is AMD's best offering, while the 4770K is not Intel's best CPU.

Hello,

Generally if you are building a PC for gaming, it can handle anything else.
This is simply not true. Intel has a HUGE advantage over AMD in the gaming department. However, AMD CPUs still beat out Intel CPUs occasionally when it comes to other programs due to more cores and different design. Of course this is keeping in mind comparative price ranges. I would go look up some benchmark comparisons that use more than just games.

There is something you might want to keep in mind though. The new consoles both have AMD CPUs in them. Whether this will affect how games are made for PC as well has yet to be seen.

For educational purposes i'd love to make a video with me having no recoil macros on my mouse+keyboard, contra not having it and recording that aswell, and pointing out what to look for. It is possible to spot, if you know what you're  looking for. Demos are the only way to catch these boys. Give me immunity and i'll go ahead.
Immunity? Just do it offline and not through assist or on an assist server.

Honor Claims / Re: Honor Claim
« on: Wednesday, March 05, 2014, 14:03:56 PM »
Using time played to decide honor is difficult as it's all guessing on how many point were earned, and I don't like that.
I went ahead and gave you 20 honor. If you ever find a screenshot or some other proof of your old honor you can always come back and ask for it to be updated again.

Hello,

Budget, yeap I should of mentioned that. My last system was in the 5K range and that is for all hardware and O/S's, so it is not so much of a budget. That is also very flexible but will be kept sensible.

I would like a pair of 780's or what ever is about when I build, but I also have to think about space and other boards.

Also, as this does effect what is available, I am now in the UK not the USA. Some thing are not available in the UK same as the USA.

Just a few other basics that might be important.

Case, big, black, nice clear side, lights blue.

It goes without saying, but will just in case, must be OC'ble, even if I don't. I tend too under clock a little for better stability and longer life.

My last system had 2 extra panels on the front, one for the Creative Labs sound card, I/O's and knobs and a second with fan control over rides, nice digital display with temps.

Have not decided about cooling yet, options are 1 - standard fans, 2 - CPU liquid cooled the rest standard fans, 3 - everything liquid cooled.

Have also run one system with 2 PSU's. 1 was for the mother board and the other for the mechanical devices ( fans and drives ).

Steve

5K? Holy hell you can build one badass computer for that. :P

PC hardware changes all the time, but pretty much you'll just be looking at the latest Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUS (unless AMD ever gets the price down on their GPUs). All of the high end Intel CPUs are normally very overclockable (the K models) but it would b ebest to look into that as I don't normally follow the overclocking scene.

GPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487003
I wholly recommend EVGA for Nvidia GPUs. Best customer service I've ever dealt with next to Amazon.
Have you ever SLI'd GPU before? They cna be a headache I hear. Games may not support SLI all that well and stuttering can occur. However, you can max any game with a single GTX 780 Ti alone so you wouldn't have to worry about that.

CPU
Like I said, any high end Intel CPU would be good. Their top CPUs are 6 cores, but cost over $1,000.

Motherboards are a bit trickier to pick the best one. It all comes down to preferences. I've only used Gigabyte mobos and they've served me well. I've heard EVGA and Asrock makes good mobos too but I haven't really looked into them much.

RAM
Without a budget you can probably go for 16gb of 1600 ram. You can get faster ram, but there really ins't much point in doing it.

What exactly is your PC going to be used for? If it's just gaming you could probably scale back a ton of uneeded stuff. Why spend more money than you need, right?

This is my quick advice.

Intel CPU. For gaming it's not even a competition anymore between AMD and Intel, Intel wins easily. Get the latest i5 or i7, you can't go wrong.

GPUs is a bit more tricky. The race is a lot tighter but Nvidia has an edge for one reason. AMD's best cards' prices have gone through the roof. Apparently AMD GPUs are amazing for litecoin mining so everyone is buying them up and the prices have increased dramatically. If you want a beast GPU, look no further than the GTX 780.

Ram is easy and it's dirt cheap right now. I'd recommend 8gb of 1600 DDR3 ram. You can go over 8 if you want, but it won't be needed for gaming.

1200 watts is way overkill unless you're triple SLIing GPUs. 650-700 watt PSU of a reputable brand is perfect. I run my system off a 500 watt Corsair PSU with a Phenom II X6 GPU and a Radeon HD 7950 and it works.

What's your budget though? I can't suggest actual parts until I know a budget. Will you need Windows? Or do you already have it? Mouse? keyboard?

Honor Claims / Re: Honor Claim with Youtube Video as proof
« on: Wednesday, March 05, 2014, 02:00:17 AM »
That is sufficient proof for your honor. I updated it to 49 and it should change the next time you log into Assist.

As far as training goes, there is currently no way of updating training so I'm afraid you'll have to do it again.

« on: Tuesday, March 04, 2014, 18:26:11 PM »
Once again do you have any proof of the PUF guys crying please show us all or shut your face.
The PM to Engineer saying he is too good so they're banning him is basically "crying" in the same way you say Engineer is "crying". Not literally, just like the Engineer isn't literally crying, but you know what I mean. I don't see anything wrong with a player pointing out an unjust ban to the community. It happens all the time. If anything, it was a warning for players not to play very good in the PUF server or risk a ban.

Like I said, feel free to ban whoever you want,  I'm not trying to tell you who you can and cannot ban. Just don't expect everyone to be happy about it.

The Engineer, why don't you just tell them to examine your "FR" a little more closely. With just a little bit of analysis, it's easy to deduce how you're playing ingame. The_Engineer has 8 recent sessions in which he has 0 kills and 0 deaths, and each of these sessions are at least 16 minutes in duration, and some are even as long as 43 minutes. Roughly, on average, in these 0-0 sessions, he spent about a half-hour in the server with no action. And he wasn't merely waiting on people to come in the server, because he has a positive score in each of these 0-0 sessions. Then, take a look at how in ALL his recent sessions, his highest kill count is 15 kills. In that very session, he died only twice and played a total of 46 minutes.

Basically, PUF clan, what The_Engineer is doing is pretty much nothing but waiting -- waiting on clear, clean shots. He is inevitably camping, certainly playing it very safe (perhaps to an extreme degree), and maybe even letting E take the OBJ (depending on the map and what side he ended up on). I think I've only played with The_Engineer once, so I haven't really seen him play, but these types of tracker stats cannot manifest without doing some of the most hardcore camping and patience ever witnessed in AA pubs.

Personally, I wouldn't call that being "too good." And if there's any subtle suggestion that he's hacking, then that'd be awkward, considering his stats, which show he doesn't like getting up in the enemy's face. Just change the way you approach him while in-game and force him to play differently; or maybe force him onto assault. :-)

But banning him, based on what's been said, is a bit odd and unnecessary.
I noticed this on his tracker too, but like you said, that's not really a good reason to ban him either.

I am dissapointed at the attitude of the forum regs against the PUF clan. Who in MO are a very decent server admins. In such a small player base I would have banned his ass to if he was emptying my server. Engeginer dry your eyes and stop bring ppl down for nothing. There a cost to being a good player. grow up and dry up.

The best you could do was bring him down because English is not his first languge. Speaks a lot of you.
Your the first they banned in two years. If ou were mature its a compliment. But no you ran crying and exposing your self in public. You should have just said I am so insecure I need help to build me up.
Any one who looks at this should have seen it. But most missed it completly.

Wait, let me get this straight. PUF banned this guy because he was too good, and yet he's the one that's crying? Sounds to me like PUF is crying about being killed all the time. "There's a cost to being a good player" Yeah, only if the server admins are complete morons and ban anyone better than them. Most of us recognize that the only way to get better is to play against better competition. I play against better players like noofy or even Jared and get rolled all the time. However I don't cry about it because I know that I'm not going to get better if I don't play against better players.

It's ridiculous how anyone could defend a ban placed simply because the player is "too good."

How long will this process be? And what is the purpose? I been a AA vet since 1.0, I woke up last night thinking about AA and wondered if I could still play the good AA. Its been a grip.
It's whenever an admin gets the chance to check the awaiting accounts list (which is right now :P). Your account is now activated.
Have fun!

I don't normally like to stick my head into these situations, but this is just ridiculous.

Lol Are you saying that we ban him because he kill us????
That is exactly what the PM he received said. Go read it on the first page.
Your clan mate pretty much said "You're too good so we're banning you."

old members and new members were  not really happy when com into our server including me! becose you are to good.

Who are you? Are you giving lessons of how to admin a server? I can buy some lessons from you. Oh master. Who are you too give moral lessons about Who is killing the game or not. We made a decision its our decision in our server.
You're not going to win any fans posting like this.

In short, I'm disappointed that PUF would ban for such a lame reason (unless you had some other motive as well you didn't tell him).I've only played and talked to Midget, but he seemed like a cool guy.
It's your server and you can ban whoever you want, but don't expect people to just be OK with it.
This kind of behavior is never good for the game as a whole.
