Funcom Response to Blue Ranger?

far cry primal is up towards the top of my favorites list. there are not enough stone age games, or stone age works of fiction in general.

I never made it as far as Valhalla (Origins was as far as I got, because I didnā€™t enjoy the gameplay as much), but I was never a purist, so I think itā€™s good to hear something positive about them :). I started with Black Flag (so the real purists donā€™t much like me either, lol) and then went both backwards and forwards from there. Still love that sun-drenched caribbean piracy :slight_smile: (Hmm, maybe Iā€™m nearly ready for another visitā€¦)

Iā€™m currently working on the Jedi games - finished Fallen Order recently, which I thought was great, and Iā€™m all ready to start on Survivor as soon as I can find the time.

Is this only happening on EL Officials?

Because we can.

We donā€™t have to fill out some stupid paperwork and kiss the a** of some power tripping Admin (like you).

Typical Admin Private Server response.

I donā€™t miss all of those extra rules and BS with Privates.

You can only build here. You can only have 10 thralls. You can only have a 5x5 footprint.

Blah Blah :expressionless:

P.S. If it wasnā€™t for Officials you probably wouldnā€™t have players. Where do you think they come from? They play on Official and realize for whatever reason that itā€™s not for them. Thatā€™s cool. But donā€™t come here acting like you donā€™t need them, because you do. Iā€™m willing to put my $$$ on at least half of your population coming from an Official.

There are reports from Official and Private, on all platforms.

I agree with you.


Maybe Funcom could hire this guy to stop Blue RangeršŸ˜‚. In all seriousness though, maybe if Funcom took the servers down for maintenance once a week and had staff that actually played on Officials on a regular basis, the hacking chances might of been lower.

How?

What would taking server down once a week accomplish?

Pick anyone from funcom Iā€™m pessimistic any of them could play through the game.

I often wonder if the people working on the game actually know how itā€™s played.
I mean beyond the little piece they are working on.

Imagine they just hire volunteers who actively play on the official servers, make them sign a contract or something for legal reasons ofc. And their only job is to ban cheater, somehow give them the only opportunity to only ban people or stuff like that. I know this sound crazy, but just imagine to hire some people who is active alot of the time as ā€œsecretā€ admins, so no one know that they are actually the admin.

Im ready to sign a contract to navigate around the different official servers, just to ban people like them.

It must be SO easy, if you are admin, you can just ā€œinvisibleā€ teleport to players to spectate them if they are speedhacking or something else for funā€¦ You get the point.

Itā€™s a nice looking idea. But it will cause great difficulties in practice.
For example, spawning a crocodile boss next to someone I donā€™t like.
or provoking someone into swearing and taking a screenshot and blocking them. ban

Who will you choose for such a job? Is it the right person? Would it be unfair?
I think admin commands are dangerous. The consequences of abuse are obvious.

And I donā€™t want any invisible admin to watch what happens between me and ā€œdalinsia snowhunterā€ while Iā€™m behind closed doors in my house :slight_smile:

This is why you need contracts that you sign, if you do anything other than agreed upon, then you will get a gigantic fine or something. :smiley:

What we need is a real time admin response to hack reports.

If anyone impacted by the Blue Ranger hack wants to start over on an Official PvE Siptah Server, DM me.

I can give you Crafters, Fighters, Mats, 1k Obulus Tokens etc.

Just DM me and we can figure out a time to meet in game.

I made a new ticket to report what happened and got the same tired, canned response about the investigation being concluded and how they cant share any disciplinary action taken. RIP to everyones time and money spent playing.

Please share this. Last we heard they had ā€œmultiple teamsā€ working in it.

This is simply in response to my specific ticket made regarding MY thralls / items / etc getting nuked. All it means is they looked into it and banned the $5 accounts these guys use to do this stuff on.

There is no information to be gleaned from me posting the copy-paste response they gave me.

Okay. Thereā€™s been no official response that Iā€™ve seen ā€“ beyond claiming that thereā€™s a big investigation. If theyā€™ve finished, I think weā€™d all like to know what steps theyā€™re taking to secure their servers.

If its safe play on now, Iā€™d like to know. If all my in-game stuff, and God knows what personal information, is constantly at risk ā€“ Iā€™d like to know.
