What was the halt on character creation about?

General Discussion General Discussion

When something major goes down, we’d like to know why. Why was character creation stopped? What was fixed during the downtime? And why is that all we got for this patch day? @Shadow_Fox , you seem to be wanting to communicate a lot. Could we get some answers to this? It feels really dodgy when stuff like this happens. Just like when you turn of TP without saying why (even if you weeks later tell us it is to prevent duping).

I’m hanging by a thread when it comes to this games development/direction, I need tranperancy, and I’m probably not alone in this.

I always make that damn mistake, thanks for pointing it out. Edit in progress :slight_smile:

My guess is to try and tackle the number of bot accounts being created currently. Perhaps this is a precursor for the Feb ‘Bugs, bots and bans’ update, or maybe they have an interim solution they’re implementing now.

Could be wrong, but I hope I’m right. These bots are invading the servers in huge numbers atm.

Why seeking feedback from a fruit?

Disabling of a feature followed by an unexpected patch and reenabling of the feature = fix for an exploit involving that feature.

There was an exploit involving character creation. The patch was intended to fix it. Telling players exactly what the exploit was would just cause drama/copycat attempts.

Ofc, they can’t go into specifics, but just liked they 'fessed up regarding TP being shut down due to duping, they could let us know what happened this time as well, just not 2 weeks afterwards.

Also, did they do anything else? Or was that all we got this patch day? If so, why were no bugs adressed? What did they do the past week? One thing this company is lacking is transperancy and comunication. There should be a weekly post about what they’ve been up to past week, and what the next week entails. Because right now, a lot of people are hanging on to the game on a week-by-week basis (if even that), and for each week that passes where we don’t get information about if certain bugs are being loked into, and/or balancing etc, they will keep bleeding players. Giving the information that “next week we will dedicate to deal with the desync issues” would go a long way. If they actually did it that is.

Since the last PTR update sometimes when you make a new char it resets your current chars to level 1.

Amazon will restore your char but not give you back your expertise and items lost.

Source please? I usually browse the forums every day, must have missed that.

Happened to a guild member and he was told it was happening since the last PTR update. Something went wrong.

I mean I don’t know if this is the only reason but it seems like a good guess.

In what sense? No need to be salty, I’m actually wondering what makes my post “impossible” ?
