Felwood
Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2016 12:37 pmHi everyone,
Just a qeustion for the GM's re felwood. Before I ask just want to say thanks to all the GMs for doing such a good job on this project.
This is the first time I have been on the forums, I had a read of a few posts then saw something re felwood.
"Varth is correct - countdown clicking is a clear sign that the players were aware that this was an exploit. The item in question was meant to give a buff to a single person. Abusing lag to gain that buff for multiple characters at the same time is exploiting.
The GM team."
I was not under the impression that getting the buff in felwood was an exploit. I have only done so one time, under the instruction of multiple people on the server.
If it is an exploit, that's fine. But I would just like to say, from the quote above, countdown clicking is not a "clear sign" players know anything. How can you assume someone knows they are exploiting a server for clicking an item before it despawns.
The item takes 3 seconds to despawn, you dont have to "abuse lag" to synchronize a group of people right clicking with 3 full seconds of each other.
I have never intentionally abused game mechanics in any game I have ever played, I didnt even use cheat codes from the age of 10+ as it felt like it ruined the game. So having someone in a GM position say I know I was abusing a mechanic as I right clicked at the same time of other people is not only false, its presuming and down right rude.
I will no longer be getting sunflower after reading the forums, but Pottu, please don't assume just because someone right clicks an object in game, they are "aware" they are abusing a mechanic. Most people learn of these buffs through guildies and not via yourselves.
There are no warning messages when you log in about how sunflower is meant to be usable by one person, there is no message from nostalrius staff knowing this.
How exactly do you expect someone, such as myself, to know that this is an exploit? You have given no information to the contrary to most players such as myself, so assuming anyone who does so is intentionally exploiting is not exactly fair or intelligent.
Once again, you have done a great job with the server, and I am sure alot of people pushing
questions on legitimate bands are annoying, but your statement I quoted is way out of line and false, and I think you should review how you came to your conclusion on that subject.
Cheers
