    That's really interesting. Are keen's stats now random?

    It takes us to question and answer time.
    How many players have found the missing raptor? If it works sweet and neat, why don't more people have the achievement?
    When will the many achievement bugs be fixed? Or is this another stall in the works?

    If you look at the link, you'll see that both had initial level 50 Keen's Fist, so both were new Keen pieces. ( you can tell because both require level 50 and have not had glyphs put in them) One had +457 for both armor and health lines, the other had +481 armor and +482 health.

    Another two differences that I spot. The one on the left has durability 50/50 and a higher selling price; the other one durability 40/40 and a lower price even if the stats are better. The one on the left has one gem slot more than the one on the right. This maybe justifies the price increase.

    I guess I'll check back, "in the future." Two years off wasn't enough I suppose. Good luck to those that are still sticking around.

    Mix well with promises and intentions, post 1 every 2 weeks until all are used, then repeat.
    1. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
    2. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
    3. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
    4. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
    5. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't care.
    6. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
    7. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?
    8. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
    9. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
    10. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
    11. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.
    12. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
    13. No, my powers can only be used for good.
    14. How about never? Is never good for you?
    15. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.
    16. You sound reasonable. Time to up my medication.
    17. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
    18. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message .
    19. I don't work here. I'm a consultant.
    20. Who me? I just wander from room to room.
    21. My toys! My toys! I can't do this job without my toys!
    22. It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy.
    23. At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.
    24. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
    25. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
    26. Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously, and change the subject.

    You avoid questions, you create (useless) mechanics that NO ONE asked for. And yet you don't focus on the things the community is asking for... Are you still wondering why you keep losing old-school players? I have been here since open beta times... THOSE were the good times... with the old team. The game is ruined, and if you can't see that yourself, then I have only one advice: Better replace the team again!

    That's all from my side, won't waste more time in here.
    Cheers

    @CM Haruki I am just amazed that we still have not gotten an answer on this matter.
    Truly unforgivable!
    Do we all have to repeat this question again? Or how many times do we have to spam this thread and why the heck do WE even have to do this and not Bigpoint acting on it immediately?

    Now that's just funny. It truly goes well with the "We are listening" line that gets fed to us on a semi regular basis.

    Are there a certain number of players that have to quit before we get crafting 2.0 or extra ess slot or any of the other player suggested ideas? My friends list is really starting to look like a memorial for those who have already left.
     
  14. CM Haruki likely simply missed this question, but I will address it if you are desperate for a response

    1) "Cheating" in the game is not always clear cut. There is a fine line at times between "making good use of a game quirk" and "exploiting a bug"

    2) Where an exploit appears to have been abused, Big Point has to follow procedures to investigate the severity of the exploit (i.e. impact on players) and the frequency of the exploit (how many players have abused the exploit and how often). If the impact is potentially large (i.e. those who are abusing the exploit may gain a large long-term advantage over the more honest players), then the next step is to identify exactly who has been naughty and determine whether the ill-gotten gain can be feasibly reversed. This is not always clear cut - some exploits can be accidentally (ab-)used.

    3) Depending on the "innocence" of the exploit and the impact on the players, appropriate steps are undertaken. This will include closing down the exploit and may include a penalty for the obvious abusers.

    4) When a potentially serious issue is detected with a payment, the a/c can occasionally be temporarily suspended. This is not a punishment. This is to protect the player's game and financial data in case their a/c has been compromised. This is a case of Big Point acting in a responsible manner towards its customer base. If Big Point did not give a rat's bottom, it could just let the dodgy payments go through. But that may well not be in the best interest of the a/c (or credit card) owner.


    Down to some specifics:

    1) @tothmartin Your a/c is Hungarian-registered. If you have got concerns about your a/c having been suspended for a payment issue, you need to contact either Payment Support or the DSO Hungarian Language Support. Neither Haruki nor we mods can assist you here in the forum

    2) Regarding the "OMG! Everyone is opening the Xmas pressie over-and-over and getting uber strong!!!! Won't someone think of the children??!!!!!!": Big Point detected 17 players who opened the present twice. That's it. 17 players across all the servers. Not one player was detected opening it 3+ times. Appropriate action was taken against those 17.


    3) If all the unnecessary "My character class is sooo under-powered/every other class is to strong", "Dear Santa, I've been a good boy/girl/indeterminate. I can haz freebies?", "Big Point is a stinky-pants!!!", "I didn't find XYZ unique within two boss runs!!! This game is BROKEN!!! I QUIT!!!!!!", and all the petty personal spats were omitted from this thread, the six or seven reasonable and intelligent questions/concerns could have been addressed in a timely and thorough manner. There are a multitude of other threads in the forum where such questions/statements can be posted. Sometimes, it's hard to see the forest for the trees. Or the windows for the lickers.

    Thank you for the answer and comforting news that BP was/is investigating the case.
    The information fist came from, in my opinion, a trustworthy source, honest players, our forum veterans on here. People were showing off sets of 5 armor/travel speed/and skills cool down jesters' gems of the highest tier. In order to obtain those, it takes an enormous amount of cash (approximate figures mentioned in post #2381).

    Whoever figured out the exploit, would never stop after using it "a couple of times".

    Gaining a major advantage over honest players with the amounts of valuables and in-game currencies is the most severe abuse possible. Even thinking that they could get away with that was very bold and silly.

    My post was in relation to the above mentioned exploit (crime in my opinion, crime towards the company and towards fellow players) only. PvP balancing, BP being "stinky-pants", uniques rareness etc. etc has no connection to my post, yet, it was entertaining to read :)

    That's a nice list, I especially like #15, since it seems to represent the BigPoint team viewpoint very well.

    Hi Haruki, with the release 161 there was a special offer package containing two onyx sculls: is there any chance that someday soon there will be a package selling JEWELS OF RAGE?
    Because there are people with six of them, and people with less or none, and the seconds have no chance to reach the others: that's kinda unfair, is not a person fault to have started to play this game later than others, and the game is not offering a way to fill the gap; that stone is a powerhouse!

    Selling them for ander won't make it fair. Drakens, perhaps, some good amount. This is a event item, event currency will make most sense and allow to catch up if you work hard=deserve, not just spend few more dollars.
