Time to look into the spawn cams

[BardMal]

BardMal i like what you have said in this thread. Seem like you have your hed on strait. Nice to know we have some decent people on legends. Nice to know there are like minded people there out side my guild. Would like to meet ya in game some time.

Thank you for the kind words. There are plenty of good people on Legends. Even though he has an opposing view point, Ironhand1 is a good guy, and he plays on Legends.

I was listening to a really beautiful girl give a speech once. She said something that really stuck with me,
"I used to go through life loving things, and using people, which was really easy for me. One day my life collapsed, and through a series of events I discovered that I had it backwards. In life we are supposed to use things and love people."

When we keep these in the right order, we live more effective lives, and are happier. In game, out of game; the mentality is the same. But when you associate with those who have this order backwards, they will splatter mud on your favorite cloths.

All humans suffer from a terminal form of mental illness. Revenge, the need to "get over on someone" and the desire for justice are symptoms of this illness. How we treat someone's character in a game is not a reflection of how we feel about them; it is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves.

When someone uses a "cheat program" to "get over" on someone else, what they are really saying (quietly to themselves) "I am nothing of value, but if I can get this person to be below me, perhaps I can find my value in their subordination".

The truth is, our greatest value is when we lift others up around us. What ever you do to someone else, you, quite literally, are doing to yourself.

For me, participating in game play where people act cruel, and use cheats, makes me as guilty as them, even if my participation is as their "innocent" victim.

Very true bard. I also have read that speach. I play by the concept of you may nock me down today but i will learn from it and not make that mistake(much) in the future. I got stronger each time i die in a spawn, at the gate, or at the base.i play with minor amounts of gold on my accounts. I give away about as much as i keep lol. and am always around to help those in need. I find on legends that those that you help appreciate it and those that see you help some one ridicule you for it. But thats just me lol and i will take the ridicule

As for your "FIX", as mentioned, the server can't differentiate between a logout and a crash. The result would be fixing five shards with SCRIPT issues and adding all shards to the whining list of "I missed out on my spawn when I crashed" people

Err right and that's why you have a log out timer when your not in a safe logout location like an inn or your house...derr the server does know a difference because it makes a check to see if your somewhere that allows instalog or not or if your combat flagged or not...It's just a matter of tagging on a region flag after that like they are doing with the invasion cities, so that if you reach the end of your timer you get zapped away! It's not rocket science.

The issue I think most are concerned with is it allows those using cams (any type) an advantage, they know when and where players are going to be by checking cams. It's not really an advantage you can work around either, so you kill a cam and exorcise him...well his mates still know you are there. By the time the raid is over you'll have time to take a cam back and get them set up again.

Even if you eliminate all these supposed cams, there is nothing that will stop larger guilds from stealthing around dungeons (or for that matter, just sending out scouting parties) to determine what spawns are being worked. If you want to work a spawn, get a large enough group of players together to defend yourselves from these raids...it's pretty simple stuff...la

That's what they are supposed to do to begin with...so let them do it.

That's one of the stupidest things I think I've ever read on stratics...and that's saying something....

God forbid they might actually have to PLAY the game.

God forbid they might actually have to PLAY the game.

So they aren't playing the game? ROFL...I suppose they have bots that raid the spawns too...la
