yeah this only applies to atlantic housing.. or maybe castle/luna house placing on some shards. I am sure the scripts will adapt to the cool down.

 

[Beleth]

I think this will jam legit players more then scripters

Scripters can setup these scripts for a perfect first attempt.

Non-scripters try over and over again to place.

anyone test it yet to see how long the cooldown period is?

just place a 7x7 in the middle to block them ???

Nice "fix". Sounds a lot like the same "fix" that now takes me 3x longer to switch characters while mounted.

Lots of detail on this one. Looks like one of my 2AM git commits.

 

[Anon McDougle]

What large amounts of complaints??

What large amounts of complaints??

Maybe scripts were paging on each other.

Maybe scripts were paging on each other.

Now that is funny, but if you think about it cheaters reporting on other cheaters, that is priceless

 

[skett]

whats really funny (pathetic) is that its true the cheaters turn each other in to gms all the time....

 

[Sylas Stormguard]

Well it was a valiant effort

Imagine if nobody purchased a house for like a year. All of these guys would be stealing from their mother's purse to hold these spots within a year.

12.99 x 10 accounts x 12 months.

I did a few hours ago. Found a spot on Siege that has decent spawn where I can lure them back to my house and cast EV. It took me several tries to fit the plot in the small area. I didn't watch the minutes but it wasn't too bad. Maybe 30 - 60 secs. Something like that.

Char had to use invis so was a little nervous about that, but the cool down time was not too long.
