How to make S4 Great Again


    Since you guys unbanned latins how about lifting the ban from the other banned countries?


    This video would bring my old friends back to the game. But when they are trying to access to the game server they wont be able to.


    They have to use VPN and become lagging otherwise they wont be able to play the game


    I'm sure lifting the ban from the blocked countries will bring old players again


    S4 europe is a place for people who fight over a game and no wonder why people are leaving the game..


    When this game was available for everyone it was great.


    And also since you have unbanned a few players and gave them a second chance how about unbanning the others and give them another chance? instead of having them on your game using hacks etc.

    So they can use even more hacks?

    I am pretty sure they can make a new acc and just play in a legit way for once if they want it so much.

    You say this like they aren't using them rn.

    You think someone who spent a lot of money and got banned would spend money again?

    Like I said many times before, they unbanned "some" players with no valid reason. It's too late now.

    Ban them again or unban some other players. Not everyone.

    I don't have any banned accounts and I won't gain anything if they ban or unban others. I just want a fair community.

    Justice above all.

    You don't know why they got unbanned and probably never are going to because they don't are allowed to give people this information.

    I'm kinda sure many of those banned people never actually tried to negotiate with the S4 League team in the first place.

    The justice here is called aeria games/gamigo. Nothing else.

    Some of them even shared ticket screenshots on s4db to show "how they scammed Aeria" and got their accounts back.

    Not denying it. But that means some people negotiate with them and were smart enough to scam em while many probably don't even try to negotiate at all. Doesn't really make the part you quoted wrong.


    Edit: And by the way subscribe to PewDiePie

    How is it possible to scam it back if THERE IS NO WAY TO GET YOUR ACCOUNT UNBANNED AGAIN

    A friend of mine sent this to me a while ago:

    It clearly says "The ban is permanent and will not be lifted for any reason." right?


    They changed their rules for some people. Why and how?

    Why X person gets another chance while Y doesn't?

    Why K Person gets different replies from Marika? ;)

    Here's another one:

    "You will have to start a new account if you wish to play S4 League."


    ps: I'm not giving names or calling anyone out. I asked another friend of mine for this screenshot and he kindly accepted to share anonymously.

    Maybe ask them how they do it? I am curious too.

    Showing tickets in the forum isn't allowed on the first place. Just saying.

    I'm not the first person doing this and probably won't be the last. The staff can remove (or ask me to remove) those screenshots (and not the whole message) if necessary. I'm just looking for answers.

    Just because u use a small acc,and use a hack....ur main account is not safe...many ppl think they are safe behind a new account....wrong....

    In the past we were not allowed to hunt main accounts by their ip because shared ip addresses, only if the proofs were enough for that but only few cases applied like that.

    I used to permaban them regarding of their situation, if they used hacks, they must have to wait until 2069 :P

    Yes, it is unfair to unban just few people. Don't say that other people haven't tried as hard as them, because I'm pretty sure some tried even harder. There's no way of getting unbanned just by sending a ticket and apologizing. No matter how hard you try, there's always Marika stating that the ban is permanent and will NOT be lifted for ANY reason as they claim to have "zero-tolerance" policy, however you are free to make a new account and start over.


    If few individuals get their main account unbanned, why does not everyone? Ban them again or give everyone a chance to get unbanned. I mean.. their ban was PERMANENT, they could have just made new accounts, but no, they get their mains unbanned.


    Ever thought about lifting all the bans? I believe this would bring back a lot of players, and before y'all start replying with "No.. this will only bring more hackers back" and other nonsense bs, let me tell you something, where's the problem in banning them again? If these individuals deserved a second chance, then everybody does.


    It's Christmas after all, how about you for once actually give back to community and make as much people as you can happy.

    Because there are also legit players who plays this game as well (shocking, i know). What about those ppl who had to deal with your hacking over those years? Also hackers never changes. Once cheater is always a cheater.


    I can bet on the next ban wave everyone will be asking for another chance as well.


    How will ppl learn not to hack if everything is just forgiven and there is no punishment? If you want to play the game and be clean, you will start all over and think twice before using tools that you think are "undetected".

    I'm not a cheater myself, just saying it's unfair to give a second chance to just few individuals and not everyone. That's not how to treat the community. Some individuals, not dropping any names, have done some effed up stuff in the past, of course they regret (that's what they tend to say at least), but they got unbanned. Is it fair? Of course not. Why not give a second chance to others too?


    In my opinion everyone who was unbanned should be banned, the account(s) they were banned on. However, they would be free to make a new account, just like every other cheater.


    Giving others a second chance shouldn't be such a issue. If they cheat again, drop the ban hammer, problem solved and no more unbans.

    True. Stole the words from my mouth....... egys...

    How to make S4 great again?

    Second step: Nerf ap monkeys. ( Typical thing...people who spend more ap than how much stars are in the sky usually do a hell lot of damage,while they can hardly ever be killed,since every enchant and stuff is maxed. im not saying they are impossible to beat,but overpowered stuff is making the game less enjoyable...no one likes getting hit once ,and losing almost all HP from that 1 hit. (im not talking about the spy dagger)

    The railgun...its like a blue F skill from miles away...that effect should be removed(in my opinion,share yours if u want to or smth else,arquing with out trashtalking is normal)

    FIRST STEP: MAKE THE SERVER WORK NORMALLY AGAIN ASAP!

    playing 2 minutes with out DC means you are chuck norris...let me honestly say...this is too much...

    how much time did this go on? that is the question...and how much will this DC giveaway for free goes on ? how much time is needed to fix ? A lot of players love this game. not just talking about my own stuff...

    Bans: second chance? Why? if somebody gets a second chance,why dont others get a second chance too?Thats not fair!(quoted from a post)

    also...why would ppl unban hackers?

    -egys...

    -what about ppl who hacked back then?They should make another account,yes...no more hacking...sadly huh?then if they hack on a small acount,not the big one...they are not safe behind a small account,just saying.

    egys were the best....

    If you are talking about unbanning Egys then no no no omg no... Remember how everyone celebrated when they got ip ban, it was like best day ever for most ppl

    I'd celebrate if they banned germans since the one who's crashing the server and affecting everyone's experience is a german guy :)


    let's not disgrace any country :)

    Nobody is gonna hate certain community cuz of 1-2 ppl but if certain community consist of 90% of douchebags then...well... u understand that urself

    Not really i'm sure that u don't know 90% of them to call them that ;-;

    A lot of em......but gms need to notice all of them , and ban them... not to mention not much ppl will be allowed to play after they ban these ppl....but they enjoyed their freedom...for too long...

    i wonder why the f*ck anyone with relevent Inventory content would bother to Hax in the first place , But Then Again it's S4 so it's full of Shet anyways.


    like i literally havent played for a Year. i come back , first game is full of RG abusing , second i met a player almost S4 named "I_Use_Macro" who surprisingly was abusing macros and shet , Great Game lmao. Why even bother to struggle to make it run when it's so dead right now ?


    Where Shadow Lies , In the Corner of your Eye .
    Away from my Allies , Your Life i Deny .
    A Bloodthirsty Vampire , In my Bullet Hell Empire .
    Unrivaled Uniqueness , From your Eternal Highness .

    Yeah probably , anyway the game is rigged for me right now so as much as i'd love to get back to it with my new gaming gear i won't until it's Fixed

    Now to make S4 "great again" here are some random suggestions from Minor to Major shifts in random listing order :

    - Unban exotic IPs = > Channel them in an International Server
    - Change the way Channels works , possibly channel players to English main when say French for exemple lacks playerbase at empty hours ( which is always nowadays by the way , it didnt used to be this way , i wonder what happened :/)

    -Rename current BR mode to True / Solo DeathMatch and regular DM to Team DeathMatch
    -Invest into developpement of an S4 Flavored "Battle Royale Mode"
    -Fix the Weapons you Broke ( RG / HMG / HEAL / MS / LB and possibly some other shet )
    -Show actual Will to Balance maps , Skills , and actions , to limit the impact of Macros and Unlegit Behavior such as scripting


    - Modernize Financial Model and Art Direction aiming towards more mature content and something truly appealing to Veteran Playerbase or 2018 Gaming Era
    - Various Quality Improvements need to be done on the Client / Huds and Interfaces

    - Experiment with Competitive Possibilities over 3 Different Modes at least TD / DM or such / and reworked Battle Royale
    - Figure out wether or not Clubs should take an important part in S4 and if so Figure out wether they should matter regarding competitive and at which degree
    - Find a way for FFA to coexist with SO and Gun Only without any taking over eachother

    For reference i played actively for at least 8 years out of 10. and developped many Strategies and Gameplay Unique to me .
    There's still some willing players attached to this IP. don't let this Die as well as the rest , because once we Reach that point there's no coming back from That.

    It's 2018 we all have plenty of Alternatives IPs to play and the more we wait the more S4 becomes irrelevant , we cannot take sh*t from crappy dev teams / backward management and P2Win Overdose Anymore like we Used to , it won't work in the long run , it already Failed. y'all know this just as much as i Do wether you're from Aeria or any kind of Player.

    Now either we work together to reverse the Heat like it was never seen before , because S4 DO still have potential ! especially in this Battle Royale / E-Sports Era or we just let the Ship sink slowly but Inevetably. We still have a Choice but Time is Running-up and it Shows.


    Where Shadow Lies , In the Corner of your Eye .
    Away from my Allies , Your Life i Deny .
    A Bloodthirsty Vampire , In my Bullet Hell Empire .
    Unrivaled Uniqueness , From your Eternal Highness .

    S4 right now is at its lowest its ever been in terms of population and gameplay mechanics. I'd say stability to but this game been plagued with a long history of abuse so i am not sure lol.


    It will quite LITERALLY take a mircale to resurrect this game to ANY kind of saving grace.
