-Dan- Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Really Let`s say a guy is on twitch playing ETS MP and he is sober af and a moderator sees his twitching Can he get banned? I mean,European Driving laws are one of the game`s rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorkal1ty Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Well, if the driver says it or shows clearly while streaming that he/she is drunk or drugged... I suppose he should. But I dont think admins should care about streamings too lol. Anyway, in case there´s a coincidence and someone caughts him/her, I hope so. It´s just ridiculous in my opinion to play that way online and annoy others, and streaming looks insulting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirestarteR93 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ehm, the European traffic laws are there, so players won't behave like angry apes and will obey e.g. signs on intersections, also I believe its not a problem as long as the player doesn't mess up others what if he's drunk, we'll send Burner to the player's house to test if he's drunk and then charge him for being drunk or something?

MashedPotaton8r Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I think if somebody caught and recorded you driving drunk, there is a chance of you getting banned. I would avoid doing it though just to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It's not a good idea, pretty sure you will break rules while driving around drunk. From the in-game rules: Administrators reserve the right to kick or ban you from the Euro Truck Simulator 2 Multiplayer servers at any point if they deem your behaviour unsafe to yourself or other network users.

Inthernet Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Streamsniping's kinda low, shows you've got way too much time! That said, I would only streamsnipe after an incident with a person whose name included the twitch address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I have to agree with Firestarter93, sorry. It makes no sense to ban a person from a game because he/she is playing drunk (or on drugs). If I come across someone driving his truck like a drunk, I'll just keep a safe distance and try to avoid crashing myself for LMAO. And probably record video to have some laughs when offline. Only if the drunk or drugged person is causing problems to other players, then of course a ban or at least a kick is deserved. But because of the problems, not because of that person being drunk.

Guest Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 If you are visibly influenced by drinking (ie. swirving all over the road), you can be banned for that, checking your blood-alcohol levels is a bit far fetched though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people driving without steeringwheel and swaying all over 1 lane is OK because they can't actually drive smooth over 1 lane... It just makes no sense. If you're drunk playing this game, who cares? As long you're not a troll and start blocking others it should be all good in my opinion. Nobody will ever notice that you've drunk beer or shit like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles! Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 As mentioned above, If it effects your gameplay then Yes you can get in trouble. I've never tried drunk driving IRL and I don't plan to, but I assume I'd mess up quite badly if I did. However i have gone through loads of beers and still played ETS2 fine, My driving itself was completely normal for some reason, it was just parking the trailer that only took me 10 minutes and had a few others in the area laughing. EDIT: You know what, I'm actually gonna make a drunk ETS2(SP) video soon lol Hmm, got the day off, might do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Wazawai Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 ^ and that's why you have as many bans as posts it seems Not like I can talk I drive in mp usually half tired which ends up being the same as being drunk half the time lol... I just avoid populated areas so I get awesome crash video w/o the bans XD Signature removed by a wondering ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgpch1983 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 please dont drink and drive, please dont text and drive.. not in reallife, not ingame.. you ruin the fun of living and the fun of playing for others. dont be selfish! edit: *offtopic* btw. the dont text and drive is one of the reasons we need cblike radio ingame (teamspeak cant do that!).

It just makes no sense. If you're drunk playing this game, who cares? As long you're not a troll and start blocking others it should be all good in my opinion. Nobody will ever notice that you've drunk beer or shit like that I dare to disagree. I know some people who only play with keyboard as well as myself and we have drives as smooth as most players who use a steering wheel (sometimes even smoother. I've seen plenty of people playing with a wheel who sway around more than a dizzy snake). Keep in-lane is absolutely no problem if you know what you are doing. Drink/smoke/text and drive is bad in real life and it is bad in-game. Don't do it, kids. Some people should really get a license before even thinking about buying Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator.

Miles! Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I prefer keyboard. I personally find it has better reactions, For example if you have to make a sharp movement, with a wheel you have to go from one side, back to the center then over to the other side. With a keyboard you just switch sides. When play games like racing games or GTA V I easily out perform my mates I'm playing with in terms of manoeuvrability. Maybe I'm just better with keyboard than they are with controllers, I'll never know. Everyone has their own preferences and mine is keyboard Plus, I bet your wheels don't like up different colours and react to music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sysgen Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I will say without a doubt that driving with a keyboard can never be better than a wheel. Come on, they would put keyboards in trucks if it were I'm sure your friends wheel are not configured correctly and yours either for saying that.Years ago when I started with rFactor and then onto iRacing me and my friends had lots of trouble keeping up with others until I took the time to read and adjust my wheel correctly, this made a world of difference.A keyboard better than a wheel Hahahaha...cough.cough. Hahahahaha I would challenge you any time in a contest ! Keeping in the subject of this thread, I`ve often played not drunk but with a few drinks, more than I would IRL driving and I enjoy the game more this way, go figure.

aaaMArtin Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 [...] and he is sober af [...] No one noticed this? xd But seriously, there is no way for anyone to check if you're drinking and driving. Unless you happen to be best friends with an admin, and playing in the same room as them while beeing drunk. Point being, you won't see anyone banned for driving under the influence, but that doesn't mean that people have not been banned for other things that came as a result of being drunk. Because that has probably happened. We just don't know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARLEY QUINN Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 In fact there is no rule that prevents him from playing drunk. And you can not be banned for just being drunk. But being drunk is one thing, is another cause accidents. It can not be banned for being drunk, but can be banned for causing an accident or break the rules of the game. Repeating: Being drunk is not a banishment condition but cause traffic accidents is. I take this game very seriously and try to take him to the maximum possible reality, but personal conditions out of the game can not be considered. ------------ If it were considered, then: • You can not use the phone while playing. • You can not smoke a cigarette while playing. • You can not play without a driver's license. • You can not play without having a vehicle insurance certificate. • You must have a warning triangle to play. • Ah! And I almost forgot. The minimum driving age is 18 years. And just to know: • If the trailer weight exceeds the car, the speed limits are lower: 65 km / h (40 mph), the excess is less than 30%, or 45 kmh (28 mph), the excess is greater 30%.

Miles! Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 ^Wait, You can smoke and play you'd just have to play in UK the whole time, I'm not sure about the rest of EU's rules but UK it's legal, just not recommended. If the rules were 1:1, I don't think there'd be many people left lol. I think the best option is, If you wanna get drunk, Go out and party, but If you want to play ETS2, then play singleplayer, that way you can crash all you want and you wont get banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
