Assault Merc

Heya, anyone offering assault merc on Asura

Pm please
Thank you

Assualt? You mean like the Lv50-75 content in ToAU?

translation: I need a DP to get into a Dyna-D shell (so I've been told) but don't wanna play ToAU.

"aint nobody got 4 hours to run through all the assaults"

Mythics suck. I hold it against no one for wanting to just get it over with by any means necessary.

If I could pay-skip all the redundant ***I'd make more.

I have seen people selling assault runs, pretty uncommon though.

Assaults are fun.

Now Nyzul Tokens is another story...

Really nothing fun about luck based mining, that through no fault of your own you can fail.

Or finding that damned ring.

Being found by lamia isn't really fun either. Nor is relying on enemies to break jail cells. Or Fishing.

20M

Shiiiiiiiiiiiit if you run all 50 for only 20m your whole game life just ended. You'll have a queue of thousands.

I think there might be people selling the whole package nyzul points, NMs...etc. not sure if you have to give them your account log instead though. I think they would simply use one of those programs to bypass certain points in the assaults and nyzul.

I don't think anyone would sell assault only though. The think takes a long time to do. Like 7-10 hours if okay normally.

4 hours, 7 hours both seem obscenely low. You have a guaranteed 450 minute wait for tags if you start with 5 and never fall behind so the fastest possible would be 7.5h.

I do it in about 10 hours, and I know all the little *** client side tricks to do every assault as quickly as possible, though I don't speedhack or use maint mode.

Scheduling around people is probably the sticking point. If you could get paid 20m per person from 4 people for 10 hours, that's 8m/hour for something with minimal gear/jobs required. But, you end up spending forever coordinating which is garbage.

What about the hack of sending server the info you completed the assault without doing it?

That's not actually a thing, there's a way to complete assault books without completing it, but you can't get the actual assault clear that way if it's your first time through.

Plus, it's ****ing HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE to post ***like that in public.

Obviously doesn't want to build a mythic on an account that can get banned.

They are easy to automatically detect server side from a programming perspective, and there is strong evidence they have been automatically detected and banned for in the past(around rhapsodies launch).

Thus, I don't use them. Any benefit measurable in percent is absolutely horrible compared to the time lost if you get yourself banned doing it.

There is a solid chance they'll never turn the autobanners back on, given the state of the game, but I still don't see it as a smart choice. It only takes one ban to lose everything you've done.

Just because they don't care right now, doesn't mean they can't flip a switch and go full banpocalypse 4.0

No, it's very simple code that a first day intern could implement. You send your position every 350ms, calculate the square of the difference from last position, compare it to character's current speed * 350/1000. If it's higher for several intervals in a row, the person is likely speedhacking. Add a certain number of hits to trigger autoban to ensure any stray weirdness like person d/cing with flee active so it doesn't wear doesn't create false positives. Done.

Maintenance mode through anywhere you can't normally traverse can also be done with little server load by generating a table of coordinates that are not legit from the zone geometry and checking each coordinate you report against that list. If they were ok with greater server load, they could also check your z coordinate against the geometry directly.

It isn't complicated stuff, and no nobody has to see you. It's just a matter of whether SE cares to have the autobanners active, or determines banning people to be a net negative.

The more likely explanation is they created it thinking they'd have a nice change to a clean game with rhapsodies, then it banned far more people than expected, and they decided they want the subs more than the cleanliness.

You can very accurately detect whether someone is speedhacking with even as little as 5-10% speed if they run in a straight line for 3-5 seconds.

Technically detectable? Yes. Realistically, very unlikely they would detect that. However, they could also add other checks if they wanted, such as in imperial agent assault when you check a holding cell, check if the matching gate has been open. Again, a single amateur developer could likely add that sort of check to every assault where maint is beneficial in a day of work.

The server has EVERY advantage when detecting any cheats that bypass the rules of the game. The client has the advantage as far as automation and botting.

If they banned everyone for using any third party stuff, there would be like 3 people left. It's doubtful they'll start banning people from the tiny population of folks who are willing to pay over 15$ per month for a game that's not going to expand.

I am not telling anyone else not to speedhack or use maint mode. I am defending why I do not, as a person who obviously has easy access to those tools and understands the detection methods.

It is not likely they will turn the autobanner on again, but it is also not impossible. They could also toy with lighter consequences, such as a 2 week ban or something. There are a lot of possibilities that cannot necessarily be predicted, and I just prefer to err on the side of caution.

Thread is barely an hour old and all these replies, I knew once I saw the title I was in for 10 minutes of entertainment

Google ffxi all seeing eye, don't need to do anything just trade book to lamp and sj blm to warp to assault hp.
I'm hungry for liberal snowflake tears.
Feed me!
