I think this "update" is broken. I don't understand the logic behind it at all. 

Indeed. I to fail to see how this is a forward step at all. Why was this needed in the first place? Altogether very strange addition.

 

Please hoof take a moment to review whether this was truly well thought through. Thank you.

The cheaters shouldn't return at all but if they do, the only way they should return is at level 1 with no upgrades.  Make them completely start over from scratch.  By now, everybody knows what happened and everybody is watching to see how the cows handle it.

Agreed. The very least should be their upgrades they got as a result removed. But I would love to see these bans stick and them never return. We don't need people who think like this. Good riddance.

 

Yes eyes are very much on the cows and how they respond. Thus far I have to say I am pleased to see them doing the right thing.

Those that blatantly exploited this bug deserve whatever they got. There has been much chatter that "high levels and big spenders" should be given some leeway "because the player base is so small".... I hope that the cows see this as blatant bigotry against lower level folks and those that cannot/will not spend, and judge all on their own merits.

 

I sincerely hope those that were just testing (I know of at least 2 that were doing just that and also passed along the info) will be reinstated soon.

100%. Anyone that abused this bug deserves a permanent ban or at the very least the upgrades they received as a result be undone.

 

Some admin statements on this matter is 100% needed. Please reassure us the perpetrators of this intentional exploit will never be back unlike previously. 

This thread is an absolute mess. Can we keep overly personal boring drama off the forum by chance?

 

But seeing as the topic has been broached...

 

As everyone knows already including the poster of this thread people can take relics anytime they desire. People can also take any opposing action anytime they desire. Both relic combat and normal PvP are a part of the game to be participated in when anyone so desires. This scenario needs no admin intervention but admittedly just for the sake of putting out this dumpster fire it would be nice to have a definitive answer by an admin just before this thread is rightly locked.

 

No threats have been made of any kind. Merely an intimation that the relics will be fought for as many guilds surely would do. And as for the original poster being offended or upset by imaginary threats that does make me chuckle. I wonder how many times a purposefully obnoxious message sent by them could have been reported by others if they simply cared enough to. The hypocrisy here is somewhat amusing.

Thanks BG. Didn't see that coming for sure.

 

Though I wonder how many are going to start crying over lack of notice. Or that they hunted a few days ago. Personally I like the fact that you have surprised us with something. Why should anyone have ample warning.

 

Should be fun.

Glad to see the announcement.

 

Cheers HCS. Much appreciated.

 

And also agreed that 72 hours is more than enough. Used to be 48 I remember so having been extended already no need for more IMO.

It was a choice people made to scavenge at that time. Nobody forced you. I say fix it, write it off and move on. So many people are going to exaggerate their spend.

Personally scavenging is not my thing. Will leave that to people who know what they are doing.

 

But people complain so often about how sets are released and become almost immediately worthless. Selling for 1FSP a piece. This time we have 2 sets that are much harder to get and are therefore retaining some value for once. They can't win either way with you lot.

 

I like that the sets are harder to get / invent. A little bit of work has to go into it. Plus more gold sunk is good for the game. I'd like to see more gear released like this.

That kind of behaviour is not permitted and needs to be reported with the in-game report function.

Agreed.

 

Drama is dull. Talk with stamina.

 

All this relic stuff has done wonders for my team player medal. Appreciate that.

Sounds good to me.

 

Cheers BG.

No, the original intent was to allow those who had hits to make on Titans linked to Quests to do so even if the Guild is on cooldown. I personally think the blanket change should be removed.

~ Grim

Personally I like that it was changed. The prior guild cooldown was massively punishing on the bigger guilds. That means 1 person out of 100+ gets a chance at participating in a titan event per 7 days. This change gave every player a chance to earn one by themselves. Rather than 1 person gets a chance and then nothing for the rest of the guild for 7 days.
 
As the chance of a personal secure applies to every person I fail to see any valid reason for it's removal.

A gradual increase in the range every 500 or 1000 levels? +5 every 500 or +10 every 1000, something like that could work

 

    500-999 +-15

1000-1499 +-20

1500-1999 +-25

2000-2499 +-30

2500-2999 +-35

3000-3499 +-40

3500-3999 +-45

4000-4499 +-50

Works for me. EOC is fine for targets but for all those below it ranges can be very sparse. A lot of people have suggested it though already and it has not been considered much. Ah well worth a shot.

I would like to nominate cucubaubau.

 

A good personal friend and a truly kind and generous player. Knowing all the ways in which he provides for his guild I applaud his commitment to supporting his guild in every aspect. I suspect few dedicate such time and resources in this way.

 

One of the most genuinely nice people I have met here playing the game.

Stam gain increase would actually help those below EOC. Current EOC have no problem staying EOC with sparse content releases. While people not at EOC can capitalize on more stam per day.

Agreed.  Personally I would love to see the cap raised. Not massively. From 25 upgrades to 50 maybe?

 

Good FSP sink to. Drives donations. Could be a smart move for admins and players. I am sure hoof could be convinced.

The reason that happened I believe is due to the value of that item being so low. 3,000 kills to clear it and earn 4,500 TKP towards a 12,000 TKP item worth about 5FSP seems not to be very enticing. Can hardly blame people for that.

 

But then again the 2 recent spawns since that have been cleared relatively quickly. So perhaps it is suffice for a few.
