procreate Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 it would be nice since we know where and who CoD uses for dedicated servers [choopa/gameservers] that when one of their IPs comes up on the map that it is green or blue or something other than red, maybe yellow?

This is a feature available to the 'Canaries' and something I don't believe will be made publicly available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akic Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 This is a feature available to the 'Canaries' and something I don't believe will be made publicly available. A few staff have mentioned that it won't be publicly available, can someone explain the reasoning behind that decision. We can still see the dedis by the fact the update button is disabled so I can't really understand what adding a colour code does to make it such a no-no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procreate Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 It would save me frustration of not being able to ban the dedicated server sliding the ratio hoping the update function will show or still take effect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted May 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2015 We don't really want to draw attention to it. The update thing is an unfortunate necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procreate Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Why not? It's more than helpful at a glance to see so I don't have to rate it. I don't see it as a bad thing... And it's not like it's something that is "hidden". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akic Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Iain I can see you and the duma crew are being very cagey on this but could you please elaborate as to why it's such a big deal, seems out of character with the usual transparent nature of support here. The only thing that springs to mind is fear of ddos or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that springs to mind is fear of ddos or something similar I'm not sure if this is the reason Netduma don't show them but on one of Drift0r's vids, he said you run into legal issues when showing the location of servers. I'm not sure if that is true though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Iain Posted May 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yeah its not really our place to do that. The only reason the update button thing was added was back in late Dec to early Jan people were breaking the games for themselves by blocking dedis. So we had to address it as all support threads were non-stop lobby booting. Sorry if it came of cagey but I guess in some scenarios its better to play it safe.

procreate Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 All the more reason to color code them How about a triangle? I am fine with not being able to block them but it would be nice to not have to be bothered with not being tricked to try and rate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procreate Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 the great irony of people kicking and screaming for dedicated servers though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 If it is this bad with the Netduma can you imagine what it is like for players without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procreate Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 I don't know. Atlanta server is fine for me but I'm 12ms from it... And depends on who else is in the lobby. Chicago server sucks though. I just meant it's funny to see opinions of servers here vs what rest of community begged for. I dont see them as a negative... The color coding request is simply for convenience while glancing at the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
