Should is a really important word there. Old EQ addicts should have access to relatively bot-free servers and a semi-aggressive GM staff that professionally beats down cheaters like people around the world should have access to clean water as an essential human right. Just like everything else...

As a third party, even in this totally contrived and not realistic scenario the drama is totally worth how unprofessional it is. And this is a better scenario than the developers being disaffected and being happy to let the game go to shit because their game and tech ignorant boardmembers aren't...

I agree. If they are sure that a person is using cheat programs with enough confidence to permanently ban them, they should publicly post the banned account's characters and all the guilds they were in.

Having fun with Space Exploration + Krastorio2. I haven't gotten to space yet so I guess I'm just having fun with Krastorio2. I'm disappointed there's not an equivalent to FactorioBox Maps for SE+K2 (and other mods that add tiles) or I could show off my spaghetti.

Yeah, gotta imagine AAs will also be easy to get compared to other TLPs. Interested to hear where groups are getting their gear at 55 also.

I know nothing about the internals of DPG but this rings the most true to me. These kinds of developer outfits are driven by individual developer's motivation to do something more than a cohesive strategy passed down from management. And that's typically a good thing with this anti-cheat move...

I don't use any of the programs people are getting banned for but it's not as simple as "don't cheat". Many people using MacroQuest are playing a fundamentally different and very fun game than the designed EQ experience. Effective boxing of 3+ characters is pretty miserable without something...

I knew EQ2 was a mistake.

Secret's post earlier in this thread goes into detail on one mechanism they may still use for detection. That information discusses not just the .exe, but the other libraries that get linked at runtime. But that's an incomplete picture of what they use. What they use is likely poorly understood...

Yeah but then you need to run a VM on your PC. I don't know if they'll get to a point where they start using the presence of vmware (or whatever) in action against your account, but it poses some risk whereas running show eq on another PC (which, for the record, I've never done so maybe it's...

Seems like they're mostly cracking down on show EQ and macroquest and leaving Gamparse, GINA, inner space boxer etc alone. If they start going after ISBoxer users they'll lose a lot of users without really hurting botting much. ISBoxer makes life easier for manual users than it does for someone...

You guys take dat dere celltech?

I'd be impressed if they had a heuristic detection system that cleanly segregated macroquest users from people running inner space boxer, programmable keyboards, autohotkey etc.

I want to sub to redguides to see the drama. I can't tell if only the chaff is getting hit and all the real botters are using custom compiled solutions that don't trigger DPGs library searches or if being a macroquest user is becoming increasingly infeasible. I still wish that when they...

I liked asmongold vids because when someone like honest trailers producing high quality content what i really need is some guy putting his two cents in so I know what to think of it.

I hear rampant is rough on your UPS and misbehaves when you start maintaining bases on multiple worlds, but i really like the idea of it and the other evolution mods.

DPG is so disorganized trying to suss out their detection capabilities from their actions is impossible. They've ramped up their actions against macroquest users this year, so if you use any form of the kind of mq capabilities you're at risk and cheating in their eyes.

I'm going to run that + Krastorio 2 + whatever other random mods in Recommended Mods I think I need. Debating on what difficulty settings I want. Am thinking research costs 5x and Deathworld with a really large starting area because I'm tired of the early game.

Shadow of War 2 when?

I'm bitching about this game and have never played it.

This is amazing well edited.

No offense to any current devs at DPG but I have zero trust in anything they say about why they do what they do. Maybe the house of cards we call Everquest did indeed have a 32bit limitation that precluded rulesets like Vaniki to be formed, but there's no real computer computer science...

No, i don't see why the two would be connected.

Level req should be abolished game wide. Level recommended should be dropped 10levels game wide. Level recommended should be abolished on vaniki. Level rec / req is a pain in my dick every level increase expansion where i get bags of loot on my boxes that are upgrades that I can't use until I'm...

from: [Vaniki] Bind Rush | Page 2 | EverQuest Forums Would you say Blood of Ssra is the toughest boss beaten at level 40?

I read he is doing new artwork instead of programming, but it'd certainly be interesting if they created a space expansion. It definitely feels like a logical extension of the game. Probably a lot of new things they could do that modders couldn't.

Hmm... Looks like I'm going to start a new map next month. I think I'll play around with circuits until this is released with whatever mods.

HDMI/USB can go quite a ways without issues. I did this once to hook my gaming PC to my TV in a different room. I wouldn't do wireless for latency reasons. Good thing about moving it to your basement is more heat will sink into the earth instead of being displaced by your AC. But it's probably...

Depends. If you've got enough airflow for it to be pointless, you probably don't need the AC unit. Other option, for those with basements, is to move the rig there. Bonus points if you move the rig but keep the monitor and keyboard upstairs.

Yeah, I don't trust that they won't tip the scales to get people to BUY BUY BUY. It'll be obvious if those reviews start to differ from other places like Steam. Especially if there are statistically significant differences for certain publishers.

I kind of like that policy. I don't know how common it is but fake reviews and review bombs are a nuisance to casual consumers looking for trustworthy ratings.
