So, apparently I missed something...

What's up with GuildWars?

Crythen · #3 04-15-2003, 02:50 PM

I fail to see how signing a petition to 'get guild wars back' will in any way change images mind about bringing it down, OR in any way speed up the recovery of the server itself

Recovery? Well itd be cool but i really dont know how they're going to get a copy of EQ-live's stuff. So far this kinda sucks since no other server is legit, and more importantly, accelerated.
But i only played for 1 day, so i guess its a lot worse for people who trusted guildwar with weeks of their time and effort that are now lost.
I dont know how you can NOT take advantage of the bug since you always regenrate faster no matter what you do, and I'd honestly take it off if i could. They could at least let the server run until they find the solution, if they ever do.

Since you were only playing for 1 day, I guess I'll let you know:

Regen wasn't bugged, they sped it up. They upped it to like 5hp/sec sitting 2-3hp/tick standing and accelerated the speed of regen (I believe its actually faster than 1tick = 1sec.)

The HP regen bug that most are talking about is not that. The HP regen bug is about 100-400hp/tick where 1tick < 1second. Understand? THATS the mega bug they were talking about. =)

The accelerated regen was only for warriors who were tired of soloing 1 blue, waiting half an hour, and then soloing another. It just wasn't conventional. They had to up the speed of regen due to lack of healing classes.

Errg, Im sorry but this is bull. It was just as much bull last night, when gms were telling everyone not to use class defining abilitys as well.(IE necros couldnt use lifetap over time spells WTF) I understand the point of trying to keep the server legit and exploit free, its a noble goal, but I also know that , before i even knew this was an exploit, I was doing this, and i was STILL getting owned by white & DBlue cons.
And whats worse, Last night did smack of Mcarthy ism,

"If you see someone exploiting, make sure to inform us, who knows, you might even get a cookie" The jist of what 1 gm said last night.

Thats about |____| this far from being a witch hunt.

Now with my lil rant out of the way...

Image please bring the server back. Frankily your server is a testamant of EQEmu as a whole as no other server came anywhere close to allow the stability found there. I mean come on, 100 + people on at a time, and actually being able to log in. Sure the bugs were there, we all delt with them, like not being able to sack citys, or the pet bug, I think we all managed. The regen bug was a little harder to control, seeings as many classes had spells that it was a natural part of the casters abilitys. Should people be able to get 100 hp per tick, of course not, But utterly laying waste to the server, to never be opened again, cmon. I think everyone would agree, to put the server down, while there is time to repair what needs to be repaired, would be a much better resolution here.

I agree whole heartedly, exploits are bad(never could figure out why everyone wants to race to get to a point where the game is no fun to them any more) But there are a lot of people who were trying to be decent, and trying to not use exploit tation to advance themselves. Its your server and you can do what you want with it, But you are kinda giving the cold shoulder to the people, if im not mistaken, you originally set the server up for. Those good people who wanted to play to enjoy themself, and be fair upstanding citizens of this virtual community.

Please, bring it back. The world isnt perfect, but things can be fixed, but only if you try.

"bug is client side" or something as stupid as that is in the topic of the irc channel. biggest load of shit ever.
if you can't fix the problem, don't blame your users for your mistakes. no other server has this "client side" exploit and they all use the same client.

New_Shoes · #9 04-15-2003, 10:33 PM

Actually the bug could well be client-side. 100+ HP per second regen has happened to me before on most of the servers I hop around on, including semi-legit like FHing and totally non-legit like MoonPhoenix and LSS (I'm talking about abnormal regen with normal items, not hacked items). On those server, however, it usually went away whenever I zoned, much to my disappointment hehe.

Anyways, the server was great just before it left the list, and it was about to get better (nearly everyone was ready to start Waring). The GMs didn't deserve the amount of abuse they were getting from players that expected a trained, professional staff to service their every need 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

. They were doing a great job until people started complaining for no reason. So kudos to the GMs, and kudos to Image aswell. I, for one, appreciate your work. Come back soon!

The gm's themselves were creating the tension that you claim they were recieving. It was a "witch hunt" as someone put it. It is unreasonable and disruptive to have gm's throwing the B word around. It is better to have no staff at all then those who have no initiative to keep players playing.

There should be alternate methods of forming a guild and a #stuck command. Fix the exploits and keep the drooling, angry gm's out.
