On old Icarus forums PvP-ers dominated. Most of the changes were pushed by them. All the combat changes, changes to the factions etc. In the endless chase for "balance" devs ended up removing all the diversity from the game tbh. I remember I even tried to cope with the combat changes, but worst change, after which I know many crafters left, was the change to the resource distribution. Making that random, meant wiping all the knowledge which people had gathered about the map. I had so many notes, about what resource was spawning where. To discover that took a LOT of travelling around.. But that knowledge was instantly gone.. and after that change to get some resources, you HAD to go to the PvP zones(before nothing was exclusive to the conflict towns, but you could get it quicker there). I and several others refused to play target practice for PvP guys. Even though on the forums everyone assured, that if you make PvP unavoidable, every PvE guy will go to PvP zones. The hell they did, it is entertainment, when it doesn't entertain you, you look at competition. The resource fiasco they tried to make good with those points of interests which appeared randomly on map and spawned goodies(can't remember how they were called), but that was pretty poor solution.

 

So, basically what has lead Fallen Earth here, has been extremely poor management, where those in charge didn't know anything about their customers and just let them direct by a vocal minority on the forums.

 

I guess this is why the majority of players I see today are PvPers... isn't that a coincidence 

[Cause of lag?]

Hello does anyone have any clue why FE starts to lag? e.g. chat delay, crafting delay, mail delay, etc. I've never recall experiencing this back then...

Well i think they did that job too well. They alienated a huge portion of their playerbase (pvers) to make a niche pvp game.

Well that didn't last very well, did it? 

Never was a fan of PvP ever since I first played FE.

Nobody EVER goin to do such a thing...thats...pointless, trust me. Never ever saw that implemented anywhere, btw.

To sum it up - NO WIPE. Mkay? LO not goin to wipe anything...massively. Like, server-wide...everything, and for everyone. Cheaters accs will be del from database likely, aside from that...nah, nothing else. There is a way for everything to work perfectly...its "under construction". The end.

P.S. - Almost. Dracio, forgot to ask - did u buy that shirt personally from market, or elsewhere? If that was "market case", logs saved for a pretty long time, and likely all info is still safe. U can create a ticket even now, if u care.

Note that this exploit was rampant for YEARS until finally GMs and devs listened. Who knows how many duped items are there. TBH with you, I don't believe there should be a wipe without a major update.

Bout duped items...welp, actually they're tagged...so, its not hard to find em...all of em. LO concern is (ofc, since they care bout players that have nothing to do with dupe), that some of them was more then legally sold to many players...del all, and u got a riot. And they will be right. Its not their problem. They paid for it, and fore grind chips, all fair and square. Its no matter, if dupers got items on hands, if their accs are all banned. No access - no more items to dupe. Works both ways. Besides, dupers accs will likely to be del from the base at all, not simply banned.

You can just refund all the G1C credits and reward points to those that payed unless purchase history isn't recorded. If that's the case then pretty much fix duping exploit and move on without wipe.

Stack splitting should obviously be reintroduced, duping is the issue.

The matter of the fact is the old company did not give a damn about the players or the game, the dupe was out in the open over 5 years and not fixed.

This is not a permanent thing, they applied a band aid and gave the game away as a part of the APB sale.

Many games have had this exact dupe and fixed it overnight when it was found, it is literally the most common dupe.

I duped of course as did many players, the dupe is actually as old as the game *I assume* so imagine how long this was being used quietly before 2013 and the developers were aware.

To sum it up, you will have your stack splitting soon enough and no more duping. I personally think we need a server wipe and all webstore coins refunded as "store credit". Maybe some other loyalty rewards to the old players who did not spend anything.
As the game currently stands there is always gonna be someone with 10,000 gingerbread, 10,000 DT serum, etc.

The game will never be balanced again without a server wipe or item wipe.

 

There has to be a wipe eventually if duped items can't be balanced. But at the same time a lot of stuff in this game needs to be fixed and improved so we can get more players and more population before a wipe.

Lag is only a factor in some dupes, the most common dupe was indeed with splitting which did not require lag.

Yet when I reported it, then bashed Tiggs for claiming it was still there... she dropped a ban hammer since nothing (still) was being done 5 years after the exploit was reported.

Split "is" broken, but not because it splits... it's what can be done with it.

She's gone now finally, hallelujah! 

Anyway the duping needs to be fixed pronto and splitting feature added back otherwise remove the weight limit.

if splitting won't come back any time soon, might as well remove weight limit!!
