Runes of Magic US / AU

so it is an exploit to ss im siege. today? how bout winning is an exploit because its just so unfair and gives u an advantage. lolz, love the consistency dont yall?

no, read closer. it is an exploit, possibly bannable, to shadowstep someone who is on a wall, parapet, other side of a gate, what have you, while the gates for that castle are up. that is: using an ability to gain egress to a castle while it's gates are up.

you ss someone on top of the castle to kill them because apparently kill count is your top concern, you hop back off the castle. you do it with the intent to get you inside to wreak havoc, and follow through with that intent to wreak havoc, you can be frapsed and banned. you do it on accident, and choose to say 'hell with it, i'm in, ima kill buildings', you can be frapsed and banned.

it's not saying shadowstep is against the rules. it's saying that getting into the castle in any way short of a gate being destroyed and you walking through the void where the gate was, you are now a target for frapsing and banning.

it's a pretty clear cut thing, it doesn't matter what your ability is. if wardens had a pet ability that let you teleport to the pets location, and you sent your pet inside, through a gate that blocks players, to attack a factory or a library, or anything you could target, would it be ok to use that? no. it's getting you inside the castle through some way that is not 'walking through a gate that is currently down.'

i bet you'd raise a stink if you had that and weren't allowed to use it. but dink'll take care of all that.

Using Shadow Step in this way has now been deemed an exploit. If more guild leaders would warn their members about this...

Update: I have edited the above statement so that it is now factually correct. 01-12-2012




might want to edit this part as well chief

And as I said to Mart above, using Shadow Step on an opponent on top of a wall or parapet in siege is now an exploit. It is, however, an example of ignorance by the opponent.

Ignorance can be cured. Stupidity is forever.

First off

Why would it be to us to tell our guildies not to use exploits?

If we don't and they do it, could we also get banned?or the whole guild?

Instead of always posting buyin from gold blabla banner, put it there and say it, it is your responsability.

Also what happens when we gives you screenshot or FRAPS of players using such tactics?

Can we get for how long they get banned? slap on the hand, 1 week, 1 month? We don't want names , we want to know what actions are taken

For the new CM's and GM's , thx for being this patient with all the crap you been threw for the last 3 weeks.

Been in few sieges lately where players just run through flame towers and with lightning speed like they do not exsist. Almost lost 2 siege because of this. the worst part was, I am a hacker because I caught up and kill them. Total bs.

Sounds like a combination of Fearless runes and server lag. Or it could just be server lag alone.

or mage with shield up..warden immunes, couragious guard, calm heart, p/s immune, p/w immune even i think? vn ring fear immune etc. add a serentrum at end for even more protection.

ppl running stupid fast is getting more common...mad rush, escape artist, spell weaver, godspeed and u are hauling BOOTY. w/r even more booty moving

theres so many skills most dont know about since many combos were not fotm and obscure, wardens....<shiver>. since the crash fix ppl are seeing their siege potential a lot more now. sucks having to kill them twice when they do their total heal thing :p

more to learn every day it seems for me.

faces also have a cast time, if you aren't there when the cast finishes, you don't get knocked down. same with flame towers, though their flame will follow you if you are within range when it casts.

enough speeds buffs and rainman like autism watching faces, and you can figure out how to run through a minefield of FoT's.
