#882870 Open letter to the Cows

Posted by lapdragon on 30 July 2014 - 12:49

Utter nonsense. Support bends over backwards to help people. Generally, the ones who feel they don't get help from Support are the troublemakers who do not see why rules should apply to them.

A huge amount of feedback we get from players is that they actually love just how much we do for them through Support.

I will personally testify that i have actually called the cows regarding things and have not only been treated GREAT and my needs met and taken care of, BUT also some nice little conversations to boot!!  (even taught me how to send something thru a support ticket!! with patience and kindness)

Good thoughts  BK! Maybe there is somehow to make the forum more navigable for the noobs. Heck I sometimes have trouble finding info in here.

#873426 New gear for high levels?

Posted by Wolfthorne on 15 June 2014 - 05:03

We definitely DO NOT need anymore defense/armor sets..or armor/hp sets. A ring and amulet set like the General BHaltairs set would be good i think, for starters. Maybe a shield and boots set or a weapon and boots set. Just throwing thoughts out there. Though i do hope any new sets are well thought out first and DO NOT kill other really good sets. Make any new 2 piece sets work together well.

After flicking through some of my combat sets (for hunting normally and hunting SE's), I've seen "gaps" that could be filled with decent LE sets as follows.

 

Damage / Attack Gloves / Shield combo

 

Defence / Attack Gloves / Ring combo

 

Damage / Attack Weapon / Shield combo

 

Defence / Damage Helmet / Armour combo

 

Just my 2c :)

I believe a good idea will determine something like as an example:

Gloves+Amulet - 70% attack / 30% defense. 

Will be easier for BG and Hoof evaluate those numbers with that.

#877764 New player with a few questions.

Posted by yghorbeviahn on 07 July 2014 - 22:28

Few advices:

- Check forums to search a 'Booster Pack', that is a code you redeem on your character, giving you a lot of things.

- Search about Epics Quests, we have some at the start, you can have enough to reach lvl 80+ in one day, the Epic Quests are:
- Present Darkness (EP).
- Signs and Portent (EP).
- Eternal Defiance (EP).
- The Ways of the Mages (EP).

The link that yghorbb was talking about - bonus pack - definitely look towards end of thread and read the comments from the Administrators (Developers) ie Grim or Hoof:

http://forums.hunted...ic=56924&page=5

Epic Quest
Worth the time and effort! Personally suggest you don't use the stam you accumlate to level until you've got to the very end of the quests. Note that there are more quests to come at some future date. Use the Wiki and Official Guide to help you find your way. Also use this map system to help you.

http://mowglik.livinloud.ca/

There's one part of the Epic Quests that confuse people - when you need to get "Wing of the Moon" here's what you need to know:

WING OF MOON - HOW TO GET IT!
Paladir Forest East. go there and enter the Secret Way. It should be right where your at now.
Once you enter the Secret Way, go the short path to the Hidden Grove. Kill critters using resource finder once you get the recipe for the potion. make the potion then use it. The potion will allow you to see the hidden critters, " elemental of paladin". Kill those using quest finder to receive " wing of the moon".

Good luck and have fun!

#875133 FSH - Ban, or Not ?

Posted by evilbry on 24 June 2014 - 04:27

some food for thought. (though some examples will come from my line of work as a developer)

 

A script, by broad definition, is a mechanism to reduce keystrokes or other manual tasks.

 

some examples,

- to periodically check to see if a state has changed, think along the lines of is there more or less gold in my bank (or a nefarious version, has a titan moved it's location)

- to update or modify a value/entry, such as to perform a bank deposit. (or to move to a square with a titan on it)

- to perform a common task to reduce the time/effort involved, such as how FSH allows you to extract all of a resource (or to attack a titan with a set time delay).

 

Detecting scripts is not always going to be easy.

 

lets look at some of the ways a script can be detected.

- The script performs an action many times in a short period in a regular pattern.

- The script creates a large load (resource wise) on the system.

- The script is used excessively to the point it's obvious it's being used.

- The script is not coded well and causes regular/unique errors that can be picked up by the devs.

- The Devs get their hands on the script.

 

 

The thing is though, when a script is created, usually, the person creating it is careful. A script can have variation between actions so it's not carried out with the same time delays. It can vary actions inbetween tasks, so as not to follow the same routine each time.

It then comes down to the cows to try to determine which is human input vs which is scripted.

 

 

Can scripts be eliminated?

Not really. even moving from a browser based interface to an application, would just change the way and tools that scripters interface with the program.

 

 

What can HCS do?

Realistically they are doing more or less everything they can at the moment. The only real way to stop a script from being used, is to remove it's profit source or it's advantage.

There's been some examples of this with changes that have been done in the past. If there's nothing to be gained from running the nefarious scripts, then there's no reason to run them. Just keep in mind, that some changes may make the game a little less user friendly, to stop some of the scripts.

 

If there's some form of scripting you believe is occurring, raise a support ticket with what information you can.

 

At the end of the day, HCS is just a small indie company, who do a pretty good job for their size. Many people are used to the big behemoths in the entertainment industry who throw masses of resources and can make significant changes much quicker.

#872930 Double XP Event Imminent!

Posted by LuxFerre on 12 June 2014 - 15:30

What an awesome weekend!  Double XP!  I am going to marinate some Rib Eyes, grill and have a feast this weekend.  It is clear.  With my big gut stuffed, I will relax downstairs in my cave, secluded away from my wonderful wife and children.  My phone turned to silent, totally void of all distractions - I will hunt.  "Hunt"?  No.  I will slaughter!  My bloodlust will grow with each kill!  Damn the grill!  Bring me RAW steak! Let me gut and feast off the muscle of the bovine while the carcasses are still warm!  Blood is vitality - let me live forever!  COWS run!  HCS hide!  ... Bring on a multitude of new content! So many new realms that the COWS may run away to in a failed attempt to escape my unsatiable hunger and thirst!  25 more levels!  50 more levels!  May the unveiling of new realms stretch as I conquer onward!  ... or regardless ... if in case new lands do not emanate ... gotta love steak!
