Dev Tracker - Discussion

Gee thanks for that 1hp/tick poison, that was super useful.

Now get back to healing.

need a sch/rdm trust give me regen v, regain, +stats, en-elemental, heal, and -na.

Ok, but the regen is 10 potency / tick.

I hear your Luzaf, & raise you Lhu Mhakaracca.

BST trust with no pet is wild.......

The devs hates BST. Don't let them know you can one shot mobs with Fantod > Heel > Fight > Hoof Volley under Unleash. Those 60 seconds are gaming breaking......

BRB, off to official forums to report!

Remarkably candid about how pointless the system is.

Another adventurer survey planned.

This cracked me up:

Colibri Scythe...?

I mean there is precedent

Amusing post
Yes, they are lying to you.

Does this apply to content that matters? I.e Sortie NMs, Ody NMs, HTBF?

I got bopped recently for (what I assume) being reported while ezfarming cards for spheres. They aren't not doing anything!

Unlikely. "just botting"

But they're not doing nothing. Just essentially nothing. As good as nothing. 1 is more than 0 nothing.

Murdokk nailed it btw

I'd love to know what it actually was, if not that. Always thought they only banned for pos hacking/speeding/clipping and whatnot, but apparently not!

Theyre never going to ban someone ezf mlvling obviously, but apparently there is a line somewhere on what you can bot/who they'll listen to.

Did you pos hack or do anything via addons that moves your character to a different location? It didn't have to be the last day you were playing either, its in a weeks span of time. Did you do it at all even once in a week?

Never heard or saw anyone in recent years get banned "just botting" either.

Reminds me of another scythe, maybe misanthropy? That had a similar model

I also know someone who recently bit it for card farming. Might've just been the area they decided to survey this time around.

More like the Redemption. DRK's empyrean scythe. It has often been compared to a Colibri and the models are incredibly similar.

This is 100% joke reference to Redemption. There is like 0 doubts imo.

Does basic superwarp count? Otherwise, no. Even stopped using fastfollow because of the potential weirdness. I know of Tako, but have never installed it, or wouldn't know how to POS hack even if I wanted to lol.


Suspicious! Mine was at the fomors in rakaznar. All 3 accounts banned at the same time for the same reason, all in a party together. The only thing I can think of was the card farming since it was the only out of the ordinary thing I did in the game for a while, and something I could imagine upsetting another player.

It isn't detection they have a problem with, anyone who thinks x is risky while y is safe is naive. Enforcement is just Russian roulette, though. So when you see a ML bot party running for months/years on end, you start to think it is fine. In reality, you just got taken out by bad RNG (you got the Crep. Cloak to finally drop, basically).

Not always been the case. So basically nobody knows 100%, but a lot of people have actual data to go off of. There are times they turn on auto ban system that does pool names and get the RNG. I highly doubt they randomly check people botting based on reports. There is literally a thread on OF of someone reporting the same bots for years. People have been botting for literal years on end. Many who are popular or known names get reported constantly.

Most likely, they turned on the system due to the fact they are paying people to stream for that random phone game. So I would avoid most activities if you ask me. Where individual reports are taken into account when this system is in place, is something I don't know.

But you can't really claim after literal years, to say someone is naive for thinking x was less riskier than y, when for many many years that is exactly the case.

Yes they definitely have ban waves and all that, no question. I'm talking about the long term approach. Remember when stuff broke every patch (not just the bot api, gearswap and lots of benign Windower stuff too) because they constantly changed memory locations? Eventually someone said nah, not worth the effort.

I don't think the signature changes were intentional obfuscation as much as a symptom of a fragile integration with a game whose fundamental systems were under active development.

It always seemed intentional. Even now when they add a new NPC in the middle of the ID list and not the bottom, that's a choice.

It must be (slightly) more work to shift 200 NPCs down one slot to slot a new one in than simply adding the new one last.

huh... What's even weirder is that it's there on the JP side too.

https://www.playonline.com/pcd2/topics/ff11/detail/40397/detail.html

There's already a post on the jp side of the OF asking if they meant I-Seal or if they are serious about this.

it's definitely a typo, I-seal is the best part of that campaign.

Imagine getting a bonanza weapon per mob drop rate the same as I-seals, crazy as ***.

The description of I-seal says bonanza. The AI who wrote it up doesn't know the difference.

You definitely know far more than I about that sort of thing, but it did reduce in frequency drastically. Maybe they did just find a better way to make the changes they wanted without breaking a bunch of 3p stuff.

I saw the post about Bonanza kupon and came here immediately lol.

If they do drop bonanza kupons, even at a low rate, I know what I'll spend all month doing. I've wanted all the bonanza weapons for so long.
