Solarin posted:New dupe related to the tradeskill depot has supposedly been thoroughly abused for a week. I am not playing much at the moment but had to log in and confirm that yeah the price of krono on Oakwynd went from 50-60k to 500k (highest barter offer when I checked). The krono being listed for sale are all 1-2M. They were (still are?) in emergency maintance over this. The team took at least 4 days to figure out what the heck was going on.

Coolnezzz posted:Supposedly, GMs have an in-game command that can read a target's client and report back if it's running on a VM, according to some folks at RedGuides. The exact mechanism for this is unknown, also not sure if it's actually true. I think some EU privacy laws forbid this stuff these days? I think they just don't care about when you do it on live compared to a TLP, but is detectable. I coded up my own screen reading tool mostly as a personal exercise. Being able to read first pixle information and later screen locations to capture what buffs I have and things like that. More or less going for an indirect solution to creating AI bots that I can run in code. This can be super helpful as I'm not touching memory directly but instead using a solution that could be used in any game. Some of my models ended up doing some really silly things, like backing up when hit (and then backing up off a cliff) and forgetting if I am sitting or standing and starting to do a dance. But when they work they work really well like having an enchanter auto CC (or even a bard), cleric auto heal, and auto buff with a queue. But ya, really fun to see what goes into making that stuff work and creating quality of life tools to get around rules like 2 min clickeys.

Baconroll posted:Anyone else planning on playing on the 25th anniversary TLP in May - assuming they don't some up with some stupid ruleset ? Its on my watchlist. I am waiting for the rule set like most people for sure. My hope is they bring back the dedicated GM, When the 20th server came out having a dedicated GM eat the bot armies helped a ton from getting blocked on so many items that are basicly force sold for Krono (Jboots, Efreeti Boots, etc). The world in classic is small enough that bots and normal people are non stop fighting for the same pulls and few well known cash farms that even an intern can quickly figure out whats going on.

r0rb posted:What do you mean force sold for krono? Krono is just plat my man. Buy some from another player for plat, and trade the krono for the item that is "being force sold for krono", there you just paid plat for it like you wanted in the first place. My point is mages porting directly to efreeti and other key mobs and sitting on him 24/7 blocking anyone from going and doing it on their own. I'd really rather just kill the mob myself but at this point your fighting obviously cheating bots and forced to buy items. Note this is not the same as dealing with actual players.

shirunei posted:Bots = money so I don't see them loving over their own bottom line again. Aradune had a dedicated GM that blocked those mage bot armies, you could find frost giants and various high value mobs up much longer on that server. That said it's been years since they did that. But at the time it's population of live actual players was huge.

Malaria posted:They usually announce stuff in April and it launches around the end of May iirc. Really depends how well the mischief random items thing works, To narrow and someone sits on all level 37 named mobs. With no drop off it helped a lot actully since a ton of items got super cheap since normal people could get them far more easily then on other servers. Of course exclusive items just got more anoying since a few would drop from an easy mob then get taken away after people got them. Overall it does a good job of keeping the uber bots from taking over some markets however.

RCarr posted:I mean, that situation has played out probably hundreds of thousands of times in this games existence. I’m sure they can tell when people are shadow-stepped or summoned very easily. I’d bet that’s not what is getting people banned. The easiest explanation is usually the correct one. People are cheating. Pulling from the team who runs Quarm, they have a "port" detector that works fairly well, they are often looking for movment greater then 1 shadowstep however. So catching port cheats is almost trival for daybreak. That said i doubt the logs are good enough if 3 mobs shadow step you in the same server tic. That said, its labor intensive to hunt down port hackers and Daybreak just does not have the man power.
