and how are you building a stat page from a game that isn’t released yet ? the last website that tried this said there was no info to make a bf1 stats page ? and no i’m not going to sign up, i don’t trust this…
We are focusing on Battlefield 4 for now and when we have more information on BF1 we will incorporate that. Again, that’s fine. We hope that when it’s done we can change your mind.
yeah probably not… if you have to login, i’m not even going to think about it + the other site is still working ? but hey go ahead, we never have enough of the same sort of websites
So making more of the same purpose websites is just too much. But now i think you gonna tell me how the website you making is not the same. All the info i need to know is on those pages. So i’m very curious how you gonna make it different with things we didn’t see on those two other sites.
Yep, those are two good sources of statistics and the statistics there will be very much the same statistics on our site. There will be functional differences, however, which will make us stand apart. I can’t go into specifics as its not hammered out yet, but Anti-Cheat will play a role. And no, it’s not going to simply be someone gets reported and a badmin lays down the ban hammer.
“We are not affiliated with the original BF4DB development team, staff, or volunteers in any way and the new site will not have any ties to the original”
In that case they should have chosen a different name.
Hello Offical, Thanks for going to the trouble you did so we can gets some answers.
You mentioned in another thread " Yep, those are two good sources of statistics and the statistics there will be very much the same statistics on our site. There will be functional differences, however, which will make us stand apart. I can’t go into specifics as its not hammered out yet, but Anti-Cheat will play a role. And no, it’s not going to simply be someone gets reported and a badmin lays down the ban hammer. :)" so the way you make it sound Stats will play the lead followed by the anti-cheat. Myself I would like to see a no BS hardcore anti-cheat running the lead or both simultaneously.
I’ve mentioned Blizzard in other threads and maybe you guys could consider going down that road and maybe add a bit more as far as bans go and not just stats wipe or a account ban. Banning by stats alone will be rough with all the varibles involved. Sure you will nail the one’s going over the top but not the undetected (injectors) flying under the radar. You would need to go the way of anti-virus updating definitions all the time for them. That is unless you guys are very skilled.
As far as the statistics pages go like others have said we already have some that do pretty well. You will need to go the extra mile.
When you get your site built will you have a open forum for Q&A etc.? The temp page does look a bit spooky with the e-mail and not knowing your background.
I’ll turn this over to you and maybe you can add even though not set in stone what you are considering.
with an email adress, its enough to start searching for usernames and other information. If you don’t know the source for what purpose, never give ANY information!
Hi @GypsyTango, sorry for the delay in replying. Yesterday was a hectic day. To answer a few of your questions:
Statistics are important and that will surely be one of the main facets of the website, however Anti-Cheat, in our eyes, is just as important. A robust system is in the works that would probably fall under what you’re looking for in terms of a “no BS hardcore” system. For obvious reasons, I’m not going to go into exactly how it’ll do just that right now. The parts that can be automated, will be.
We will definitely be going the extra mile in terms of providing statistics and then some.
Absolutely, when we get a little closer, we’ll open the site up and allow people to take part in a Q&A or Town Hall-style meeting. Dates for that and the specifics are yet to be determined.
People keep saying the website is spooky and it’s “phishing”, which it definitely is not. I’d rather have a coming soon page than the domain routing to nothing at all. Once the final “what’s included” list is finalized, much more information will be posted on the website for those interested to take a part in. Frankly, we were a bit surprised by the interest we’ve generated, which has been a lot more than we anticipated. Newsletter signups are in the hundreds already, and the first weekly newsletter is slated to go out at the beginning of next week.
Lastly, in terms of things that are not set in stone that we’re considering, we will be developing and releasing a toolkit for server administrators for integrating various things into their servers, if they choose to do so. It’s not required by any means and is purely optional. But, hopefully when everyone sees it in action, at least a few will give it a go.
If anyone has anything they’d like to see specifically in terms of functionality, we’re more than open to suggestions and would love to hear from you. Simply drop us a line via email (the email button is on the coming soon page), and we’ll give it a read.
We’ve had more than a couple of inquiries about staff and volunteer positions and wanting to help out. While we are sourcing very specific positions to be filled at this time, they are mostly development related. Once we are closer to launching and are ready, we will begin a vetting process for those interested. More information on that is soon to come.
It all sounds great and I’ll be looking forward to see it up and running.
As far as the phishing comments don’t let them get you down just earn their trust.
On this:“Frankly, we were a bit surprised by the interest we’ve generated, which has been a lot more than we anticipated” The interest lies in many of these guys getting burned and lied to and they are foaming at the mouth to do something to help. Also there will probably be many from the other side of the fence. Screen carefully. So maybe in a couple of months we will get to see it. Until then keep us updated if you would. There are plenty of savvy guys (as you know) running their servers that will chat with you as more information comes in I would assume.
