Dam, i guess that means bots are logging back in!

RE Bots - they are ruining our lives, and are hurting the market prices for items, and farming the hell out of useful maps.

These people don't care, and they justify it by saying, others are doing it and i am only "making the playing field even"... well not really.

 

Anyways, are you not able to implement a recaptcha to prevent bots from logging in. Google provides a free one which you can imbed in http pages, so maybe the login app, can link users to that before authenticating. Googles recaptcha is very sophisticated in terms of how it prevents and detects bot analysis, I think it does interesting things like capturing response time to answers, and movement speed of mouse.

 

So what you could do, which shouldn't cost too much dev time is the following.

 

1. When I launch the ragnarok app, the play button will take me to warportal captcha login page.

2. Once i confirm the captcha, you store a token on your server against my UID to say, this person has authenticated.

3. The app is constantly checking once launched (every 30s) if the authentication has been enabled, and will then take you to your regular login page.

4. Once the user disconnects, that token is cleared.

 

That token cannot be recreated by hackers, its something you have on your system.

The http recaptcha can't be faked, as it uses interesting hueristics to determine botness,

 

I 100% guarntee that your users will NOT have any problem with this. your userbase will 100% accept the 2m extra to login, if we can ensure there are no bots.

 

 

This would only require the player to authenticate before they start botting it fixes nothing.

Server is open

This battle between openkore and WP is as interesting as Cersei vs Daenerys. One try to play by the rule, the other one is willing to play outside the rule.

Separation of state and church? Ask Cersei how to do it. Wildfire them.

The files we received were mismatched and did not create a stable client in testing pre maintenance. Were staying with the same client files this week while the issues are sorted out. Mount block is properly working on WoE castles and WoE will start at 6. Servers will be open in about 3 minutes.

 

Well thats a letdown.

[Esux]

Massive letdown. 

 

You should consider doing another maint just for the antibot. Can't hunt in most maps due to bots. Get your -_- together please.

[Dalaftl]

Have you considered just restarting the server and banning the 20-30 shops that pop up within 2 minutes of the server going up again? Obvious bot vendors are obvious.

[Amongluttony]

you should do this antibot updates every friday, to at least play on the weekends without bots!!!

 

every 2~3 days.

...maybe is time to the dark side then, is impossible to play right now and you are saying 1 full week of this nightmare more...

 

There are last 2 options here open a new P2P server (i dont like this one but is better to play a ghost server than dont play at all) or close the server and open when you get a good shield for bots and a decent amount of staff...

Poring Pipe would be nice. =oP Camp did say on the fishing thread that the headgears could be available during other events, and not just by fishing.

Well another week without playing

 

Same. Just PoE and wait for WoE I guess. Since can't really farm anywhere.

I don't think there will be a npc for confirmation this time. It seems they implemented an auto detector

[Ashhen]

how does the auto detector work? Get inside a castle and hit something?

 

[manoelsilva6666]

when I get into the castle I get an add quest and remove quest warning

maybe is it

 

anyway Campitor said to enter castle in the main entrance and try to enter in some fights, so I think it is it

[rhexis]

Welp... Another week of bot then..

[ZolpidemSleep]

Please, put like another VIP weekend who has no VIP. Or atleast no death penalty weekend. You don't know how frustating when you have a 90+ character without VIP to die over lag time and time again. Help us, GM.

Can a GM confirm if sanc heals the emp in WoE currently?

[Jolen]

Would be nice to know for sure because when we tested it did not seem to work at all

[Esux]

Can't say I'm a fan of the breaker spam, but it's certainly effective. 

 

Despite that I still think it was pretty fun.

[Xellie]

sanc shouldn't heal the emp in renewal mechanics

[Grissel]

So what is prize?
