It could somehow become the best MMO on the market and still I doubt I'd come back because of how Trion has handled everything. Probably the worst PR I've seen in an MMO yet.

right, the game is good but trion is poo poo

I wonder if people are going to get banned when there's largescale ship to ship PvP and someone can't move their boat out from the mass of boats

It's probably depends on which parties have spent the most money

I was being facetious when I said someone that was playing the game enough to feel a need to open a 2nd "premium account" was casual.

So, tell me about the griefing that goes on in this game. :3

months after you remove your payment info they continue to charge your card. Its excellent griefing.

Their anti-cheat put out more false-positives than actual detections. You cant talk to customer support without an active premium account so if you were caught in a banwave you needed to pay for a new account just to get help. What a bunch of griefers!

If you used the rocket boost ability on a certain common mount off a tall cliff the game would detect you were moving too fast for too long and suspend you for speedhacking or teleporting. This is in a game that encourages climbing up high and jumping off tall stuff.

Oh poo poo I forgot about the rampant client-side hacking poo poo. That's also why I quit FF14 (though I hear they fixed all that).

Devs so trusting.

lol yeah that stuff cant be fixed when its the engine that allows it. All you can do get better at detecting it. The more measures you put in place the more often you will falsely flag legitimate players.

FF14 and AA are still wide open to hacking compared to a game like WoW

Game is dead because all security checks and calcs are client side so hacking is rampant, thats XL's fault

xl fixed a lot of the hacks, but never included the fixes into the early patches they gave trion. Thats why all the hacks and exploits that no longer worked on the korean servers worked on the trion launch. They are both terrible and at fault

my most recent speculation is that trion originally merged server based not off population but on number of whales on the server.

do you think they are trying to group them to trigger a biggest dick spend off or separate them so they can each feel like the biggest whale on their server?

Is hacking still childishly easy to do and impossible to detect because every, single, last, thing, is client side or did they completely rewrite their client and server and netcode?

yes, you can still edit your hp, buffs, move speed, inventory via cheat engine. Trion is still running an old cheat protection software that was long ago cracked wide open. You just run an extra .exe with the game to turn it off. All they did was put triggers in place to detect if you were doing things you shouldnt be able to do. Resulting in more false positive than actual hacker bans. Such as delivering too many trade packs in 1 hour.

As long as you are never very good at any aspect of the game, you wont be flagged

7/8 my hacking accounts are still unbanned, I duped the item that lets you buy game time. I planted trees under the ocean floor, and I teleported around killing people from underground stealing their tradepacks with all of the accounts. The one I got banned for was from flying around unreleased zones.

I check back into the game every few months to top off my game time, but its such a hacker's paradise its not even fun

on the other hand, it was pretty easy to cheat in ff15. I had to hold off on getting the world first for the first 5? bosses in the bahumat content because it was so easy to no clip through the floor and disable the bosses while your party could still hit him.

If anyone was in my ifrit and garuda grps I ran as "GyaruGal" hit me up, I wouldnt mind ruining a new MMO

Credits attach to your account, not your character. So you could sell all your saleable stuff on the old server for gold, use the gold to buy to buy APEX off the auction house, convert the APEX to credits on your account, and then roll a new character with access to thousands of 'old' credits. Then use those credits to buy privileges on the new server.

This way if you want to buy privileges on the new server you'll have to spend new cash money. And probably some nonsense about fairness.

they are only doing this poo poo because the whales get pissy when the free players start to catch up. A fresh start is really the best time to spend tons of real money

I tried scouring the thread to no avail, but are there any goon groups or just some people to help a guy out/play with me? I like the game, I made it to max level on an old account that I gave away, but I gave up because ultimately it's kinda Korean complex and I couldn't get anyone to show me the ropes. I fresh started and am loving it, just putting the feelers out for buddies or a guild. My name is Shoryuken in game, feel free to hit me up.

is there only 1 fresh start server? will they just keep doing it as long as it makes money.

Thats the mobile game looking one right, no way. Too easy to hack, i looked into it. Not storing health and buffs client side easy, but very little in the way of anticheat preventing stuff like dupes and speedhack. Its only worth doing when its hard enough to keep out the casuals. AA you had to at least compile your own version of the anticheat and then you could do almost anything without getting flagged.

Im waiting for the Dark of Camelot reboot MMO

does anyone have any of my screenshots from AA? Im trying to convince a friend it was really that bad and he doesnt believe me
