    There will be a roll back and anyone involved will get banned regardless. Don't cheat. It's not good for anyone.

    How long has this been in the game? I was told it has been in since markets were implemented, if that's true then don't you think others have exploited it before this and the economy is ruined even if you roll it back?

    Roll back combat changes, roll back loot tables to DFO loot, spend a few months to work on TC (THE FULL SYSTEM AT ONCE), work on new player experience (binds/tutorial), wipe and re-launch. Make a poll about this, let the community decide. It needs to happen if you want this game to stand a chance.

    A bit drastic for my taste ( keep dev time and resources in mind )

    I don't think they need to change combat anymore besides the relics for now.

    What they might do is:
    • Taking out massive gold drops from demon/devil will help.
    • Add a Gargantua to Niff
    • When the Full TC System is released consider doing A full Bank/Leaderboard Wipe and a potential Holdings Wipe ( Keep all Characters, Houses )

    - TCS
    - NPE high secsafezone/tutorial implementation.
    - rollback of combat to pre-destro removal - remove destro, work with this as a baseline for relics/combat changes.
    - Increase effectiveness/cost of robes
    - Increase cost of bone armour to FP tier.
    - Increase cost of studded to plate/FP tier.
    - Fix bugged champion weapons
    - Increase grind back to launch levels > introduce tasks/quests to help level skills (along with changing/locking spell schools)
    - Remove runebooks/increase cooldown and keep portal chambers.
    - Change menu on Enchanting to a more streamlined version
    - Fix 7k/High end mob loot tables
    - Increase seatower loot tables
    - Fix various annoying minor inconvenient bugs that add up to overwhelming frusturation.
    - Revert gathering to an afk/semi afk task
    - Come up with a solution to low durability gear
    - Bring back selfbuffs/xbuffs as the combined buffs we all asked for
    - Revert PMist

    THEN WE CAN RELAUNCH

    Did I miss anything? I think that all those would bring us out of beta testing...

    I know my faith in BPG would come back and I'd start playing again.

    completely agree with everything you listed, doing this would show that BPG learned from their mistakes and might make people come back and try again

    There would be a complete wipe anyway.. Everyone saying the dupe is old and has already been reported.. I guarantee it has been abused and can't be tracked..

    The server should've stayed down until it was fixed.

    Besides the game is so incomplete, and has been through so many crazy changes already it only makes sense to wipe.

    Honestly, BPG doesn't really have the ability to patch anything that isn't number changes. That is not knocking them but that is all they have shown. TC is a troll and nothing that is beyond a number change will be implemented.

    I mean...

    - Champ mechs
    - VCP changes
    - Market
    - Tasks
    - Hotbars
    - Mount sprint


    They can, just dont have the manpower to do it in a swift manner.

    Please tell me what of that is not number changes? The only thing good there is the hotbar functionality. And as far as that hotbar functionality goes, we all had this in DF1 with autohotkey, very easy to implement.

    You do realize they have to come up with new GUI implementations, code in the mechanics behind waves for the champs, the mechanics behind points system and capturing of points for clans/rewards being dished out, tasks menu, titles, runebook functionality, buy orders, sell orders...


    I mean all of that is more than just number changes, so you're either trolling, or legitimately stupid, my money is on both though.

    Ohh, there is a lot behind that isn't just numbers. They've actually done quite a bit of changes that aren't just swapping numbers... Drawing boundaries for territory to be lawless or lawful and creating triggers for crossing such boundaries isn't just swapping numbers. Adding spawn locations to the map isn't just swapping numbers. Even scaling spawns isn't just a matter of number configuration. Maybe you should look into the SDLC and see what development takes from design to implementation. It's quite a technical process and needs to be that way to minimize bugs and defects. The RoA implementation of the hotbar blows away any of what people had for DF1 btw.

    As for there not being much if any word on behalf of BPG, this is rather standard operation procedures for this type of thing in the gaming industry. No game company comes out and divulges what the exploit was, or the significance of its disturbances to the normal gaming experience. A lot of places don't even give a banned list.

    What hurts this game the most is the cancer that is this community. Let BPG do what it has to in order to fix this issue and let us move on. Be thankful that this was caught before freemium.

    libtard response, quite typical for folks like yourself.

    Forget the bans and cheats etc.. explain the heat map....does it still work? I don't see any heat the entire map minus a few(very few) spots have even the smallest bit of heat happening, it is sad to see.
