No PB support for ET anymore

[equaLz]

Evenbalance/Punkbuster has discontinued there support for 6 games:

Enemy Territory
Prey
Doom3
Quake Wars
Quake 3
Return to Castle Wolfenstein


Save your ETkey. If you loose your ETkey, you might not get one.
Seems like Activision contract with EB has expired.

End of ET near? or atleast end of Rating?

A majority of servers will probably move to Tzac. No one really like PB anyway, but the standard of cheat protection will have to be changed, and may cause some problems.

I hope Tzac will also gona support Jaymod.

Point is, tzac is mainly for the competitive side of ET and will probably stay like that. As such, you still cannot make a real "tzac-only server" outside of etpro. Also, to get your own tzac ID you need to register to their website and manually download and configure the ac software, something you didn't really have to do with PB (at least not in normal cases). Now, while this isn't a problem for many of us "experienced" players, it sure is for an ET newbie who has no idea what this is. Yesterday I had a quite hard time teaching a noob friend of mine (who has played this game for quite some time now) how to configure it and that says enough. Tzac is far from being the right solution for pub et gaming at this point, because it doesn't have an easy-to-use ID registration form like PB did. I'm worried this game will lose many players in no time.

I doubt TZAC will support jaymod. Thats way too big for them. They already have trouble just with etpro ID spoofing.
The only chance to rate now is Servers like #Epic, who donated to trackbase to get the rating for non pb servers.

Is there any chance to see a list of those servers?

nice way of making little bit advertising for epic clan hehe.btw are u more concerned bout future of et or bout future of epic?as much as i see it and i already said it many times,servers like epic without any real protection against hackers are as good as expensive toilette paper:it might be expensive,but it s still toilette paper.don t get me wrong,but u really have no chance in tracking down all hackers unless u spend 24/7 watching closely ppl and u still going to make a lot of mistakes even so.yes pb not supporting et anymore is really bad news,and i more concern bout that than i m bout the alternative cheat protection epic server use which dont protect anything at all anyway.

I dunno if you just are slow at thinking or still didnt got it, but there is no Server anymore with Protection. This is a rating Community, so of course we are concerned about where we can let our Members rate.

And btw, this is no Advertising for Epic Server. Its just the only Server with TB rating for non pb Server i know. If Jay2 will get it, i will tell everyone as well, cuz i like the Server alot and be active there.

And why should i be concerned about Epic?
I have a own Clan to care for lol Epic got great Leaders, nothing to worry about that.

u dont have to get on personal attacks.what i said about the type of servers like epic,i said it already many times in the past not only today,and for your understanding ,i m not saying this out of being mean or something.god forbidden,i ranned a nd server for 2 years so there s no way i m bad intended when i say that.i m just evolving and change my oppinions based on facts and experience that during time i achieved...video gaming or not.about the rating comunity,i respect everybody who put effort in showing his name on main page,but et is not all about rating mate...make sure before u secure the rating system,that u also secure a clean game and that u also keep et alive.with this being sad,i just want u to be sure i have nothing against u ,epic or any other no download server.as a matter of fact i suggest u read what i said on the other reply on this topic.

there are alot of admins with brains left who can caugh cheaters. clans with servers should train their admins more now in catching hackers, but i dont see a big problem yet. evenbalance and pb was okay, but since they stopped real bans and just kicked ppl with hacks, its not a real big support anyways. there was still many hacks left which eb and pb didnt caughed.

and why do you think the etpro community is so small? i know many jaymod players who know about etpro, but they just dont care and they dont like the mod. you wanna force everyone now to play on tzac server? thats bs in my eyes.
