Tips for GM's from your average rocket scientist

[jnt]

You do realize that those he is asking to monitor the Arkfalls are also monitoring these forums...neither of which they seem to care much about.

After all, Rocket Scientist or not his claims are valid. Especially since Arkfalls are pretty much the backstory of the game. And if abused by hackers, the designers should be doing something other then adding lazy content like pursuits.

Forum mods are not GMs. Lol. I can also personally attest to the consequences of hurting people's feelings on the forums.

The OP doesnt get that the Defiance's Trion team is not a proactive but a reactive policing system. As well he doesnt get the fact that due to the way that they've implemented the design of the game, almost any preventive measures they throw out are made obsolete in a few hours or days by new versions of exploits and then the lemmings download them from there to use. Their team just simply doesnt have the resources to stem the tide even though they like to spin that they can/are.

I hate that such is the case but given the scope of how they ignored warnings on so many issues in alpha; and then post launch Oveur spends so much time writing worthless blog posts reminiscent of Bill Roper to patronize and misdirect from all the issues, it doesnt take much to realize then that no lasting solution to this problem or others are in sight.

While I am glad that you all seem to latch onto the "rocket scientist" part which as I described before is irony for "every moron alive can figure out that to catch the biggest cheaters you goto the biggest events in game and monitor them"

I have to say I find it crazy that out of all the responses only one person actually saw the merit in my suggestion and the rest of you don't have any opinion about the rampant hacking or lack of GM's

I mean first of all there is no ticketing system or bug tracker so I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't any ingame monitoring at all.

You'd think a rocket scientist could find the ingame ticketing system. But I could be wrong, as this dumb grunt found it after his first bug.

Y'know there's not like a RAMPANT amount of damage-hacking, so why get so mad? I mean hell most of the DPS comes from simply having prettier guns they probably paid IRL money for.

Orly you call that a ticketing system? It has no public access to view what open tickets there are, so we can go "I have this problem also" and upvoting certain issues or add additional info.
It has no listing of whats been fixed or whats being worked on.

And for the LAST DAMN TIME!!! http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...et%20scientist

But hey who cares about the problems in the game, lets all instead say things like threads pointing out obvious solutions to real problems need to be locked.
Or attack the people that mention problems with the game with all kinds of nonsense and ignore the bigger picture.

@SWFTWLF You know maybe in your timezone or w/e there isn't an issue but every arkfall for the last few days that I've been to everything died in seconds. There is no way in hell a monarch bug can be killed in 2 seconds with no crit zones exposed at all with a single swarm cannon.

Someone else mentioned how Trion does not take any proactive measures in their games as if this "fact" should be obvious and the way things are supposed to be. You know what good sir, maybe it's time people speak up and ask "why is there no proactive 'policing' of the game" to deter hacking in the first place rather than just responding to issues after they are already widespread and caused a lot of damage to the reputation of the game and the company.

See I'm not sure if you're trolling or just unaware that when there's 20-30 people shooting the same hellbug, of course they would die faster.

Also as I'm in the US, I'd probably say my time-zone is roughly the same as yours, give or take a couple hours.

Now who is trolling? You do realize that I said: WITH ONE SWARM CANNON SHOT. Or did you conveniently forget to read that part?
Also you do realize the majority of weapons do <50 damage to the monarch unless you manage to get its crit spots which is only visible for short time periods.

Also do you think its normal for the red crystal to be destroyed in a matter of seconds with none of the little openings provided by the skitterbugs?

I guess people like you that are blissfully unaware the only solution is to make some recordings with fraps, which I will happily do for you ignorant ones this weekend then.

@Jenn: Lol good one, that bailiff's look sums me up perfectly when I read some of the responses here.
