Haze 250 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Why would we reset war pts, people who used the war system got the points, therefor if you don't got any too bad. No one has it either than others. War points should stay the same and let everyone grind for more:D Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/17412-war-point-market-wipe/?page=4#findComment-203405

Vcx 1039 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Ok so i think we should wipe warpoints due to the points you just gave because people like trident Kev will have access to high shit immidietly and he already has everything there is to get on the server tbh, If it is to be wiped and a clean fresh start everybody can have a good fair chance at buying what ever will be on war points market. I also think that nothing should be to underpriced what ever you guys are adding to the WP market it shouldnt be so low for say some like lvl 5 vest that you can only get from BW if things like that are on it , yes it would take longer to get war points but it would incourage more gang warfare and it just shows you want to work hard for the gear you want by killing enemy gangs and just saving up war points for somthing good like the example i gave. Notice that i said EXAMPLE. Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/17412-war-point-market-wipe/?page=4#findComment-203421
TheRealKyle 1232 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'd honestly like for anyone to name 1 valid exploit that skewed these numbers so hard it warrants a reset. The 2 I can think of both were resolved very quickly and the points that were exploited were taken away. It blows my mind that you release this system promising this market, then after people have grinded for months in anticipation, you considering taking it away for no good reason. Don't give me the bull shit about killing in restraints. Staff explicitly said this would be okay, then changed there mind sometime later, therefor, THOSE POINTS ARE LEGITIMATE YOU APES The fact is that some people have more free time to play the game, or spend a lot of time on the game compared to others. I haven't been able to play Arma for about 2 months due to computer issues (new computer due in about a week) and do you see me complaining about my amount of warpoints compared to others? No. I earned those. You earn what you work for. People play this game for hours a day at cartels getting these warpoints. They should be rewarded. They didn't exploit (if they had they would've been caught. and like above, the points would have been deducted.) So please, anyone. Show me 1 person in that top list of names who exploited (legitimately) for their warpoints. 1 person. Oh you can't. 4 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/17412-war-point-market-wipe/?page=4#findComment-203445
colourfulcube 50 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I don't want the war points to be reset in all honesty, but I do remember when they first come out, a lot of gangs grouping up and killing each other in a way which earned them warpoints. I don't know the status on how that was dealt with, and if it was dealt with. At the end of the day, the majority of the points people earned were done through hard work and were legit. I do however like the idea of having the people over X amount of points having them reduced by the calculation that someone suggested. The square root x10 I think it was. This is just my opinion. I am delaying my vote until a third, or more, option has been added to the vote. Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/17412-war-point-market-wipe/?page=4#findComment-203457

Not sure if this has been brought up, but it mainly only happens when you get more than 1 kill in a short period of time....basically you get a double or triple kill and you somehow manage to lose the warpoints you get. for instance you have 34 warpoints kill 1 guy u get 2 warpoints says you now have 36, kill another it says you get another 4 but you instead go down to 34 again... and will we be able to see our war points at the stats menu or something instead of having to kill a gang member youre at war with to find out how much you have? Or are we leaving it like what it is right now where we cant see the number of warpoints we have?

Yes, this is simply due to the server and the dead guys pc basically opening up 3 "threads", essentially running 3 versions of the same script to process those 3 kills. So depending on how quickly it could run those scripts to keep up it would display an "outdated" output or mathematically wrong statement to you. However the actual numbers in the DB were correct. This has been shown/proven a few times now to people in their complaining status updates. Hence why it was removed on August 10th... so I'm assuming you haven't been playing much since it no longer even outputs how many points you have. Since the script was running an additional two queries to the database to get just simply your total and at the end of the day was more hassle then it was worth. Here's how a single war kill gets processed: The dead guy dies Dead guy fetches killers primary, secondary, sidearm, vest, uniform, position Dead guy fetches his own of the above ^ Dead guy processes a "gear score" for both of those above. Dead guy passes scores to the server Server verifies data to all be there Server ensures no negatives Server calculates the kill distance and applies bonus Server verifies that the player wasn't killed by the same killer in last 15 minutes Server adds the player uids to an array to verify on next kill Server then sends 7 pieces of data to the database to be processed by a stored procedure that does the adding/subtracting WHILE #10 is occurring the server broadcasts messages to the killer/dead about how many points they got A log of the kill is sent to the log file(s) Yes, when in the shop it'll pop a hint window up displaying how many points you have to spend as well as after each purchase it tells you how many you have left. Probably going to change it to display up in the red header or something. Gotta remove dollar signs as well.

So take the square root of how many they have then multiply that by 10 to give you a reduced number. An example using myself. Take the square root of 244 then multiply by 10 to give myself 156 war points.

That way most people wont have access to all the good gear instantly and will still have to work towards it. 10/10 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/17412-war-point-market-wipe/?page=4#findComment-204924
