ROFLzek Confirmed more pvp & more fun @ lvl 30

[Koota]

Have 2 level 30's. Shit is fucking boring. Hackers and 6 boxers everywhere.

[Koota]

And by everywhere I mean ... everywhere you can find any other level 30's. So scarce they need a real time map posted on the website to locate PvP.

Agreed, but it's the ONLY feature that makes the box even remotely enjoyable to play. Because you can find people to PvP. Aside from that? naw

It is a 70 pop server divided by at least 2. So there you have 35 people playing. Assuming people are 3-6 boxing, I would say 20-25 people are actually playing.

I was in Defiant and we raided Lguk. We had 20 people. So we had 1/3-1/2 of the server just in Lguk. We only had like 7 unique IPs. We had a guy 3 boxing a cleric/chanter and main tanking.

No need to knock the box though.. its obviously for casual players who don't have time to invest 20 days played just to hit 60..

I prefer myself some Dark Souls 2 instead.. some goog PvP

Box is fine. I actually supported it and tried to get people playing. Hell, I GAVE them the idea for teams and I also posted Serena's team breakout (which they use). But the players, cheating and the way things are handled such as reporting cheaters, bind camping, griefing etc is out of control. Dev and Image rather run the box themselves without any help, they eventually play favorites (giving doomfist his own forum for that channel 9 news crap) for example, and basically treat you like a child when you disagree with them.

While I know some people are getting sick of seeing these rolfron posts I have to comment, so apologies for those who want these to just go away. We haven't made any GM's cause frankly we don't know who we can trust. It is so easy to abuse in the sense a GM could follow a player around and tell his buddies where the player is, we don't want that happening. You can claim we favor people over the others but I am pretty confident in myself in being rather unbiased in servers of late, it is hard to make decisions based on stories on both sides, we have to play cops pretty much and I know how much everyone loves cops.

I have asked for who was bind camped which started your whole spiral down, but I have yet to hear names. So called reporting of cheaters is unfounded, we take action on all reports, the problem is it is usually because the guy got killed by someone and wants vengeance.

We do have features for tracking and disabling certain features of MQ, one of which P99 doesn't have in a sense, the 'map hack' as most call it. Our server is setup in such a way that blocks out position updates (even their initial location) if you are zoning in when people are already there. So bardalicious it isn't like we shrug it off, we just don't believe the antihack is the best answer for us (Although I do have the code injection available, if you think the codebase is a trade secret you are wrong).

I don't know why you harp on Doomfist for having a place to post those 'news' articles or whatever you want to call them. It was devnoob's decision, but I don't see the harm in some fun just like Smedy makes some pretty good videos for P99 (which for his time and effort I think deserve some attention). I think everyone knows Doomfist at times is "FAIR AND BALANCED" FOX style, but its all in good fun. Plus its a forum lol.. seriously its not like he has moderation powers on it.


TLDR: This post was way too damn long.. will look into any bind camp/cheaters, typically reports are not valid, we take approaches to stop cheating as we can, it is not the same as P99. People hate us say we favor, we know it and we do our best to make it clear we are not biased. Doomfist has a 'forum' but no mod powers, this was just to get interest in the server not make him a news conglomerate.

Here is what happened...I logged on and saw Melyina going nuts over Merlin bind camping her. She said if he does not get banned, I am quitting. I cannot imagine someone freaking out as much as he/she was in guildchat to be making it up. Say YT that she got killed again and that was the end. Merlin claimed he was legit and that was all she wrote. So she/he reported Merlin, not me. I was just sticking up for a guildie.

As if letting passive MQ2 slide by is any better.

Code cave inside a proxy dll isn't something P99 came up with? WAT?!

So how's about you use it? I mean, you already had people downloading a custom eqgame.exe to break mq2 injection. I don't really understand why you don't take the next step.
