KayOneX-24 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hello dear community, because I don't want to get banned in this forum and I don't want to bother the Netduma crew by showing how to do the thing from the subject line which could possibly be against the terms of use, I wanted to ask first Iain, Fraser, Jack or Luke if it would be OK if I show our community how to ban dedicated servers once and for all? If this is not allowed, then it's no problem and I won't show it how to do. If so, please close this thread. Thank you so much in advance! Best regards, KayOneX-24.

BENORMOUS Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I'd imagine it will be against the terms to do such thing,even more so if you are pulling host in all games as some would/may manipulate the connection in there advantage Probably best left alone and kept to urself but hey that's just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayOneX-24 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Yup. You're right it could be abused. I didn't watch it from that side. Think it would be the best to close this thread. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7Legit Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I don't see the harm, I've had times where I temp ban a server & I didn't see it again the entire evening I played, it was only after a reboot that it was available again the following evening. You don't block dedi's because they run great anyway, you block them if the matchmaking is forcing distant players to game in your lobbies and cause rather stupendous high latencies, which breaks the game anyway.

Homie Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I really don't see the problem at all because some time you really have no choice but to perm ban dedi. I have a dedicated server 150 miles away from me, but for some reason I was connecting to one 450 miles away. Even if I temp ban the server, after a couple of games I would connect back to it and bypass the closer one. I think I have found a way to connect to the closest one all the time .... All settings are there, you just have to play with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayOneX-24 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hi buddies, I'm still waiting for a quick response from the Netduma crew whether this would be against the terms of use. If I get a positive respone, then I can immediately post it how to do it. I know a lot of gamers are getting nervous and my private message box is overflowed by demanding messages. I would really like to post the trick now and here, but I cannot do it if it's against the terms of use/service. Please stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00stg0d Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Is this the opposite of allow listing a dedi as in selecting the server and adding a name as well as percentage and hitting enter? Just set it in the deny range. I thought they created a global allow list to keep us from inadvertently locking us out of servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2016 The reason we didn't allow a full ban permanently was because it can ruin your game experience. So that's why we made temp ban as a compromise. I've PM'd you, can you show me the method first and I'll see how safe it is/the potential for ruining the gaming experience and decide from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALNAHY Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Well, I wish you can show me how to do it, we play in saudi arabia, and there is not dedicated servers here, only in EU, NA, and its terrible for us, I bought netduma so I can play on full connection and Netduma is famous here in my country because we can exclude servers and play host, sadly now with IW, we can't force host and I'm trying to find a way to do it because its a frustration to be matched with EU and NA players and die instantly without even having fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KayOneX-24 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hello guys, please note that I cannot send you a tutorial via private message. The decision is yet to be made by Netduma, but it needs time, because the crew needs to estimate whether this could be game breaking or useful... And then they decide what to do. It's not an easy kind of thing. So, please stay patient until there is an official statement whether I can or cannot release this. Best regards, KayOneX-24.
