Lately i feel as if Badlion has become based off making money instead of making fun, specifically in the UHC area, several times this week i have tried to get into just regular ffa games to find that despite there being 350 slots from the beginning, there were less than 20 slots at the time of the whitelist coming off. Now my connection is average, so i didn't get into any of those games. My point is that donators have access to Prewl, but that is taking up all of the spots for players that do not pay money to the server. I don't have any ideas on how to fix this or if the Owners even care because all they need to do is keep the donators happy, but it would be nice that every once and awhile there were popular games that regular non-donors could actually have a chance at getting into.

Badlion is one of the least pay-to-win servers lol. I know several faction servers that you can barely get any diamond armor without donating… cough* Archon cough*. Besides, badlion ranks are really cheap lol. Some ranks in other servers are actually pretty expensive… cough* Archon again… cough* but badlion ranks can even be 5 bucks/month, and I think once you donated for 3 months, you get donor perm :P Not so sure tho

You think it's "pay to win" because you can't connect to a UHC since It's full to the brim. The UHC servers can only handle ~350 people IIRC, and it just so happens that a vast majority of these people are donators. If you can't connect, befriend a lion that can whitelist you on it, or just donate yourself.

I mean they need money to run a huge server like this……..

Archon is pay to win kits/commands/respect .-.

If this is about uhc use time.is and join the game the exact second it might help

Conclusion: BADLION IS NOT PAY2WIN

He didn't say it's pay to win guys, he said pay to play. Which for some uhc games it is. But donators did pay to have that perk and it won't change. Non donators can still play everything including uhc, it's just a lot harder to get in during peak hours.

I am concerned about this also. It's a real problem.
What are your thoughts on automatic UHCs?

How do u think they will get donations from uhc if the whole reason uhc players donate which will be to get in uhcs will be taken out..

Posted on 25 June 2015 - 08:09 AM

Honestly they'd be shitty without moderation

Posted on 25 June 2015 - 09:55 AM

First off, he said "pay to play", not "pay to win". You are all discussing a wrong thing in this thread, except a few people. Second, it's super easy to get into the UHC if you use time.is and join exactly at the time. When I was a "normal" player (non donor), I used to join following the time.is and I got into games every single time. So, my recommendation would be to start using time.is since Badlion UHC's open based on that time. Hope that helped.

Badlion kinda needs donors, otherwise there would be insufficient funds ti keep the server running with decent ping. Given all the people who type "Laglion" in the server chat, there really should be no complaints about the donation system

Posted on 25 June 2015 - 08:26 PM

considering 60% of the time it's nondonors saying it

Posted on 25 June 2015 - 08:29 PM

can confirm

more like 95%

I personally feel like the Donators still don't get enough perks for the money that they give us to run the network. We have some small additions we are going to be giving to Donators soon, but they do not affect gameplay at all. More ease of use stuff.

Said it many times, UHC's were never expected to get so big. We will not take away from what people donated for. We are still investigating the 1k player games.
