heh ?
The fingers are not being pointed out of malice, but because the nature of this issue is such that an admin spawning them is the most likely explanation.
No, the old purge system has been completely removed. Xevyr’s Purge Mod that puts it back in had to rebuild it from scratch.
Those two statements are not necessarily mutually exclusive. They may have played on other servers in the past, but are playing on only one currently.
Otherwise, please also try the solo mode.
And as for playing on official PvE servers and the possible use of cheats by other players: I don’t want to deny that it exists. However, I have not any personal experience on PvE-C servers and was lucky enough to only encountered it once on a PvP server. Those players weren’t exactly discreet about their abuse of using cheats and were consequently banned from the server relatively quickly. But yes, something like that can happen to you again and again.
Good luck! 
You’re right there. It’s a bug. Maybe I should have been clearer with that.
This thread remind me of another one, we still haven’t had any definitive answers from devs as they didn’t answer @Xevyr last question to them…
Heed this warning.
What you are experiencing is not a “bug”.
One thing I will strongly recommend as a precautionary measure.
Talk to your boyfriend to get his friend to change the password A.S.A.P. to a strong/complex password. Make it a password that is difficult enough that you must write it down on a piece of paper. That should eliminate the possibility of a hacker.
No excuses !!
Once that is done, go back into game and wait to see what happens.
Even better, change the password once a week but ensure it is complex each time.
Also for an added layer of security, get that friend to also change the Admin Password (since that friend is most likely the only one who should have access to it).
Hopefully you, your boyfriend and his friend who owns/runs the server will have no more issues.
BUT:
If it keeps happening or that friend just can’t be bothered with the issue that’s giving you grief, I would seriously question just how much of a real friend that friend is supposed to be. I would go as far as questioning the priority of friendships. In a word: Don’t be blind.
One more thing:
If worse comes to worse, you can run a server for the game on a mini-pc especially if it’s just you and your boyfriend. I do that for my partner and myself.
Good morning . It seems to me that the author of the post plays on the Xbox system, so the use of a PC to host a private server does not have an option for him/ her. For the Consolle PlayStation & Xbox we only have G-Portal.
To respond to the author, I am on to learn your mishap , but I join the advice of my exiled comrades, if hostile SPWAN creatures close to your systematic handling position this signifies that the server administrator appears.
I have it on a private server of which I am the administrator and I have never encountered the problem that .
There are two possibilities
- the administrator you troll.
- The administrator was the victim of a hacking / hack and the password of the law admin is held by this pirate / hack which then uses them for you troll.
You say that when your boyfriend held a private server himself, you have the same problems, there are high probability that your boyfriend or a person in their entourage is responsible for this and that this person continues on the new server or you are currently playing. Without wanting to be wicked or accusing a person wrongly, either your boyfriend you troll, or he is victims of the troll of a person he knows.
Exactly as I said… I don’t play on multiple servers now because my boyfriend doesn’t have his private server anymore so I can’t still play on that one… I only play with him on his friends server now and that’s It but this bug/issue or whatever this aggravating crap Is needs to stop and I still don’t appreciate any joke like or rude responses to my post… whatever the cause Is just needs to stop…
I will probably just have to deal with the bug/issue or whatever/whoever could be causing It and just continue to play how I have been even though It’s ruining the fun of the game for me… my emotions and my anxiety have already been negatively effected enough that the bug/issue or whatever is may be continues to happen and now I’m afraid of even trying to play on any official servers…
I’m trying to understand but this just made me feel worse… so I really don’t know what to do because no matter how It was meant to be said either good/bad or Is causing my emotions and my anxiety to just make me feel more upset because I’m really stressed out and struggling from all of this…
If your emotions are so brittle and that you have high anxiety whenever multiple people that has played the game for years in an environment where no admins can mess things up for them tells you that this is not normal and the only reasonable explanation is that someone with admin power is messing with you then… maybe playing a survival game of barbarians filled with violence & blood isn’t what you should do with your spare time and you should go touch some grass , grow a spine, expose yourself to the real world, to get tough and be able to fight your demons instead of accusing anyone that tries to help you that they trigger them …
Kanza, come on, there’s like a dozen of us left still using the forums. Is it really necessary to be so unwelcoming and drive away one of the few people that have come along to ask for some help? Yes, they are maybe being a little sensitive and misunderstanding that the majority of comments, however blunt, have been intended to help, but there’s no call to be nasty to them about it. We all have different levels of anxiety about different things and we all play games in different ways for different rreasons.
@UndeadDemon I’m sorry that you are having this problem and I’m sorry that nobody has been able to offer a satisfactory answer. Please understand that several of the users here (including for example mynotaure) do not have English as their native language so are trying to communicate, but are not always able to do so perfectly. I can assure you that no one (or at least very few) are intending to mock you or make you feel worse about the problem you are facing.
The difficulty, at least in part, comes down to the fact that no one has any experience of this same issue occuring, which means that there is little chance that it is just a random bug. (This game has plenty of those, but they tend to affect more than one person/server.)
As people have suggested, the most likely explanation would be if either the admin (your boyfriend’s freind) was doing this for a joke, or if someone outside your group has somehow got hold of the admin’s password and is doing this maliciously. The third possibility is, as Talyna suggested, it could be some strange interaction between the server’s settings and the ‘event’ system.
I would suggest that the most likely solutions would be as follows -
(you know your boyfriend, and he presumably is aware of how anxious this situation is making you, therefore he should be willing to help)
- have your boyfriend ask his friend to change the admin password for his server (as Vahlok suggested, this could help lock out any potential outsider who may have gained access).
- have your boyfriend ask his friend to turn off ‘events’ in the server settings (as Talyna suggested, this could help eliminate that as a possible culprit).
- have your boyfriend ask his friend to provide a list of all server settings that have been changed from the basic settings (this might allow us to detect something in the settings that could somehow be causing this strange result - unlikely, but there could be something there).
- check with your boyfriend that his friend is not the sort of person that might be doing this to play a joke on your boyfriend - he should be able to make his friend understand that it is having a very negative impact on your experience of the game, and if it is something he is doing ‘for a laugh’ then he should stop. (The fact that he is being asked for the first three points should help to impress upon him the seriousness of the request and should make him own up if he has been doing it).
Hopefully following these four suggestions should solve the problem for you, or at least provide more information so that we can try to narrow down what is going on. I’m sorry that your experience of asking for help has been so negative - I assure you there are nice people here and many will be willing to help in whatever way they can.
I just don’t see that happening unless those players suddenly becomes friends. It’s not automatic, and who are we to judge beyond that for this game? I would like to share a narrative, but it seems useless among an ocean of change requests.
That you need to take care of. It may be for a short time or long. I used to get stressed out every time I opened my mail. Just breath.
Don’t name yourself Undead Demon , two categories of beings that are emotionless apart for the joy in brutality and horror if you are not able to take a serious advice , I’m not trying to be mean at all it’s a honest concern for that person , if they feel in distress for as little as this and what happens in a video game , it may be good for them to stop gaming for a while and have other more sane activities like sports or reading a book or any hobbies. And be sure that it’s in their best interest that I say this. Catering to everyone won’t make the issue improve it will just make their situation worsen over time. you need to be able to speak in society (or as here on a public game forum) without being offended by everything or there is no more society , cause that is what society is , being able to speak to anyone about anything and understand that others don’t necessarily have your worst interest in mind but to know that some small minority of people do.
Now I feel stupid for even posting here to try to get help for what has been happening… and that one person that Is saying extremely rude things in responses on my post isn’t helping so I guess that I’m just going to give up and never post here about anything again… all I was looking for is help for whatever Is happening and I’m trying really hard to understand… but that person is going way too far with their extremely rude responses and they need to either understand that they are making me feel worse or they need to get off of my post and stop saying anything on It… I will say thank you to everyone that has been saying not so rude responses and are trying to help… but people here like that one that doesn’t seem to care about how their extremely rude responses are effecting me need to leave me and my post alone…
I’m sorry to hear that you feel you cannot post here any longer. If it is any help, the forum does have an ‘ignore’ function that will allow you to block anyone that you choose so that you no longer see posts from them (you will still see that they have posted, but you would have to click on it to choose to view it, rather than automatically seeing it - though in a case of anxiety, that might not actually help, as I can imagine that seeing they have posted might still make you anxious, even without seeing the post.).
In case you do want to try it - if you go to your ‘Account’ (click on the yellow ‘U’ icon where you also get notifications and then from the drop down sidebar, select the bottom icon marked ‘profile’. Once in your account, select ‘Preferences’ and then ‘Users’ and you will be able to add any name that you want to your Ignore list (and select a time period, days, months or forever, whatever is your preference).
As for the actual problem that you came seeking help for - please do try the suggestions that I (and others) made - hopefully they might solve the problem, or at least reveal more information that we could then use to try to resolve it. If you don’t feel comfortable coming back and continuing to try, perhaps your boyfriend might be willing to try on your behalf.
Either of you is welcome to direct message me (simply click on my account Icon) - though your boyfriend might need to spend a bit of time in the forum before the system allows him to, if he has to make a new account. I would be happy to try to pull together a small private chat group that might have some suggestions if that would be a better way for you to continue.
All I can say is what is happening isn’t natural and it is not part of the “normal” (unmodified) game.
What you describe happening can only be done through the Admin panel, and then only by someone who has access to that panel.
What angers me the most about it is whoever is doing it seems to be directly targeting YOU and you are suffering the consequences of their stupidity and insensitivity toward you.
You mentioned it happened before and that by itself should trigger your personal alarms.
Protect yourself above anything else. Care for yourself.
It alarmed you enough to come here seeking help.
Going on the information you provided, looking closer to home is where you would start.
I’m going to recommend playing on one of the public servers.
The only explanation for what is going on is something you are not at all comfortable with, but some one with admin powers is doing this and you are the target. The only solution is to get out of the situation.
Let me tell ya a story. My late Uncle Lou was just 3 years older then me. My mom’s baby brother. When ever we come over to visit he’d have to share his toys with me. He didn’t like that and learned if he mimiced me I’d lose my temper and pummel him, get in trouble, get a spanking, and grounding to a chair. And he didn’t have to share his toys.
I’m saying get yourself out of that situation, play on a public server with no one with admin powers but funcom; and whichever hacker has bought the… never mind.
Ask anyone, this is about as nice as I get.
That should tell you more than anything.
Open your eyes.
