For 2 weeks now there are people on server 1021 that are exploiting the purge to destroy and loot other player bases. These same people have been doing this on other servers before with the same steam id as one can see on YouTube videos like the one from 1155. Others on my server have reported them, I have reported them but Funcom stays silent and the griefing continues.
Now from what I gather from others these people are probably collecting resources to server transfer. I do not know if there is money involved in this or if there is a sever transfer route to the PVP servers with what they have stolen on PVE.
But most of the older bases on 1021 have now been raided and soon they will move on to the next server where they will do it all over again.
But 1021 now has a problem with the core player bases destroyed. So can you please do a 14 day rollback so that we can enjoy what took us years to build again?
Sadly, there is no recourse to this. They will not do a server rollback, only a systemic rollback of all servers if the code they release ends up crashing the game.
I would look to a private or hosted server, even using the Stand Alone Server App to host your own game, thus not incurring additional costs.
Well, as far as I know, at least one server has already had a rollback, but that was due to technical issues.
This won’t be the case here, though. Funcom just ignores these things—unless they happen on a truly massive scale (Blue Ranger)—and even then, the most they’ll do is say they’re sorry and send you somewhere (guess where).
we had the same issue on 1036, 2 french guys in a clan called Inspecteur Doofy, that came to the server, purge griefed a lot of players, layed down foundation spam claims around sinkhole and warmaker and now keep refreshing this for months.
They have been reported by a lot of players from the server, myself included, 3 months ago, but their spam claims are still there and get refreshed regularly.
Get your team to do what they are supposed to do and stop evading the hack issue. If your team had taken even minimal action against this problem, there wouldn’t be so many victims.
Do you have an update on this Dana? Over the weekend quite a few very sad players that have been logging on for years to spend what little spare time they have building their castles or updating them with the newest items from the bazaar, if they fit their build, expressed their dismay when seeing the destruction done to their bases.
To see the server going from being the busiest official PVE server a few weeks ago to hardly anyone playing on it after some “new” players decided to abuse the system, be that either because they get of on grieving or to collect resources that they somehow have found a way to monetize with the new server transfer opportunity, the impact it has had on the core player base on the server is disheartening.
Some have even filmed and posted the method used by those people to youtube. What scares us now with the headhunter event coming up is that this might lead to the “it has been so long we cannot do a rollback because it would not be fair to others who played in the mean time” line even though people have been reporting this for weeks now.
I remember some months ago they said purge griefing is now fixed! Was this a lie or are they incompetent to prevent golems and other purge npcs from attacking other peoples bases!?
So earlier today they took out my one remaining base on Siptah. None of my current portals were breached so that means they scouted me out beforehand or they by chance ran into my base.
On the second picture you see how deep they destroyed fully build in lost dungeon (t3) tower to get to the chests that were under water.
The balls in your hand Dana, is there a reason to play or is it just a matter of time before exploiters hit me anywhere? I got nothing left on the server anymore.
