Plutonium

Hi,

I am the clan leader of [V3X]. We have hosted the #1 ranked Black Ops 1 Server for years [on the official steam version of the game]. We have a clan of over 100 members from many countries around the world. We have clan meetings once a month, over 500+ ppl in our discord and growing rapidly. There are hundreds of thousands of people that traffic through our black ops 1 server that we host.

I am a very strong advocate for player hosted servers, as we have not had that option mainly since black ops 1 (plus mw3 - which a lot of ppl didnt even know had server browsers). I have labored intensively by posting things on twitter, reddit, new cod forums etc, to hopefully bring back a little of what went missing with player hosted servers.... The community, the clans that would form, the ability to manage game modes / maps, the options for maintaining a free hacker free server, post server messages and admin the servers as we see fit. I have even posted a long description on change.org to help these causes.

I just found out about 3 days ago that plutonium exists. I was surprised to find that there was a larger player base than I expected. I immediately became excited bc I love lots about what bo2 offered but just couldn't get into it without having player hosted servers. Since we already have servers we run for bo1, ark and soon to be others, it is very feasible to say we will host / run at least 1 server through plutonium for bo2.

There are some concerns I have about doing so though. Things I do not want to discuss openly on forums and would like to request a audience with the owners, if possible, before establishing a permanent presence. If we are able to make this happen, I would also like to extend my services and expertise for free, to help promote plutonium & potentially be part of "staff".

There are vast potentials within what you guys are doing here, that I support. I hope it is worth your time to meet to discuss some things. Preferably in voice for efficiency etc but I am open to any venue.

Forgive my lack of knowledge of proper place it would have been to post this. I had sent a couple message in #support in discord, yet no one replied. I did not want to attempt Pinging ppl or dm them unexpectedly. I appreciate any time you are willing to extend.

Regards,

Vexbane

I like the idea you are suggesting in part but also agree with not splitting the player base. That said, if there was interest, I think both are possible to do @KillerRose83 re; having separate servers. I don't agree with a separate client, but in the same browser window that lists the servers, one could be named for example: unlocked weapons & perks (or something similar)

Sure I like to grind for things, maybe some would like to start over, but personally I wouldnt want to go through all the prestiges again and just play the game. I just finished going through 15 prestiges (again) in official because of the rank reset bug. What would be nice is if somehow your suggestion was ever accepted and implemented, perhaps there could be a way to see the progress / rank / level in official steam account / game. That way those people could play in either server (locked or unlocked), without losing their progress already earned. I believe the Northstar client for Titanfall 2 has a way to see rank / level on official and transfer that over.

This has happened to a few ppl I know.

I can not verify the validity of how they fixed it, as it did not happen to me, but I will list some of the solutions or explanations they gave.

• "Australia players have a issue viewing the server list" = do not know the reasons why this would be, but it might be a region issue... try playing with a vpn in place and see if that helps you see the server list. If it works, you have some kind of firewall on pc, router or ISP that is blocking / preventing communication with plutonium servers to see the list.
• If you have too many antivirus or anti malware programs on your computer - it could be interfering with plutonium working properly or downloading all the files it needs to run. Windows Firewall and Anti-virus program is sufficient for most people these days. If you need to run extra. I would recommend running them then uninstalling them when you are finished cleaning your pc. Examples of these extra programs would be AVG antivirus, McAfee, MalwareBytes, CCleaner etc.
• Make exception in your windows antivirus for C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Plutonium and....where ever the game is installed

Good luck, hope that helps

homura IPR legality, anti-cheat, admin controls to fully manipulate server game modes / ban hackers / promote other admins / similar to structure we are familiar with and works so well to help make us so popular in bo1... Many of these and a couple minor topics not posted, lead to follow up questions once answered. Then requesting to be part of staff to help the cause + methods of helping to advertise within our own community on discord, our black ops 1 server & steam forums
