blocking towers is not even a close comparison to using a rule to your advantage by milking a deputy to prolong a wave.. cmon now... blocking roadways, entry points, etc with cars is a legitimate tactical strat... milking a deputy is an exploitation of the rules.. very different things.

You all @PURE P.K @KrispyK and @whoeverelse are missing the point.. if you mass log 30 people on a consistent basis, APD will be buffed to balance 30 man feds... staff/apd isn't ruining feds for the little man/regular sized gangs, YOU ARE... I literally said day 1 when civ mass log started happening that if it continues, apd will be buffed... if you didn't see that coming then you're very short sided. Like what did you expect was going to happen? The only feds APD has won is when there were ~20 civs and a sAPD stack... so are we supposed to just accept the fact that civs win 90%+ when there is a stack of 20 civs or more? @Bloodmoon I was rounding because of the gold buff. sure that amount will go down.. (and ofc the amount of gold spawned varies) Either way civs arn't supposed to be winning 90% of the time. (ps. with blackfish it does not take 15 minutes to sell gold..)

So you have confirmation that he discussed being unblacklisted when he met with pledge? Or are you speculating because his immediate response to an APD wasn't wasn't NO? Vans used at fed for jump spots orobably wasn't an intended result of giving APD vans (wasn't there for that meeting) but, to be fair, the van is a piece of equipment that is being used, not an exploitation of a rule.. Balance comes when situations are unbalanced, civs mass log for feds, APD needs a counter... Feds are supposed to be hard and APD sided, your reward is literally 20mil in gold for 30 mins of work....... We are well aware "gang life" isn't what it used to be, this is because the majority of people who taught cartels got tired of the repetitiveness of fighting cap and moved on.. I'll have you know buddy I have over 1K hours on civ when I was just a regular civ doing runs and everything anyone else does... Also, calls my gang bad, won't push arms, or war us..we're just playing to have fun, perhaps that's the approach you should take to the game... Keep your bias beef with me out of this topic, thanks...

How is that exploiting a loop hole? The comparison doesn't even come close to being relevant.. c'mon now your just reaching Not the civ rep head olympus wants, but the civ rep head olympus needs...;) I can get on board with this, there should be criteria that limits neutralization to 'milking' ie clearly trying to just break legs without reasonably trying to kill the officer or something similar.. I get why it's worded the way it is, given it's simplicity and how rank snatch happy Olympus is right now.. but still, should limit the change to effect only how it was being abused. .

sure, not initially intended, loophole finally closed

Its not a tactical strategy, its a loophole in the wave rule...

Facts! More challenging to milk now but certainly doable

I mean I did warn that beating up apd on over 90% of federal events was going to force the hand for changes and that you'll bitch "what about the little guy"... Well that day is today..

Let's be honest here guys, milking deputies / POs was never an intended by product of the wave rule... I'm actually surprised it took this long to fix...I've literally seen deps milked for 8-10 minutes before with body blocking / ifrit blocking If it's clearly op then other things can be done to balance

id fight someone in NJ or NY area, but not flying to do it lol... @Ryan

lol

Wasn't even my ghawk And that second part should be common sense... and is a long standing policy that dates back years... if you take/use something that is knowingly hacked/duped, then yeah, you will face administrative action (also didn't say perm banned, said either banned or administrative action.. but that doesn't really matter..) Anyway... this convo is going nowhere, since the rule was enacted for those that are intentionally breaking faction rules to ruin other players experience...(in other words, nothing has actually changed, just now its documented)

basically people were ordering medics to revive people who hadn't requested, then killing them when they didn't (because they couldn't) This change is more so, when an enemy denied a revive on your gang member, you can now threaten violence on the medic to revive him/her countering the denial. don't @ me. I'm not the one that banned you. So my job was done just fine.

what rabeed of course is leaving out, is that he was accidentally banned which was meant for the titan 'shooter' and was immediately unbanned before he joined ts..

I was there for that, and without the counter evidence the ban looked legit (rex concurred with that too), im sure, as per usual, you heard the civ side only which isn't very surprising

This and maybe try not being an entitled prick and maybe you'd be shown leiniency.. you got what you deserved..

I honestly couldn't care less about this.. don't dislike or like him... But have heard him be a prick..

Look mom I'm famous! O7

There are many infrastructure security updates and changes we will be making to better secure the servers backend. I can't speak for the front end stuff (Arma side) but I know Fusah and Co. have security on the top of their list! IP whitelisting is a good idea, except most folks have Dynamic IPs which kinda messes with that. There are better options, which include but certainly is not limited to 2fa. Needless to say, we are working to fix things and have the right people for the job looking into it!

this post doesn't need anymore posts on it... o7 hackers, now i can go back to arguing with civs and cops about feds and black waters...
