Regarding the "tree bug"

[Gear]

Film closed the other thread for better of worse, but however that's something which I thing has to be discussed.

Hiding behind a tree (albeit one which your opponents can see in a different skin/texture) shouldn't really be a problem at all. In fact in my eyes it's a strategy that a visual player will/should follow it order to camp a route/passage.

Apart from your (flame free) opinions, it would be nice if someone could direct this topic to a GM so we could have an official responce about it.

Nn all, see ya tomorrow




PS: Give me a good morning read

I don't think hiding behind trees never has been a problem. Like the original poster did say in his first post he was IN tree.

 

[Bluevixen]

What if a player hides within a shroom? Especially the new larger ML9 shroom. Or a player stands on another player?
Anyway, this guy was actually IN the tree, which is possible with Classic trees but you can still be targetted and killed there.
IMO if you can still be targetted and killed then it's not bug abuse.

hiding _behind_ a tree isn't an exploit so I'd be very surprised if that's what he got suspended for...

hiding _inside_ a tree is different

probably something to do with:

NEW FRONTIERS NOTES

- Players will no longer be able to run through any trees on Agramon.

Yeah, im quite shure he stood where he stood farming peole fully aware of where he was positioned and how he would be seen by his enemies.

Good ban

3 day suspension is too mickey mouse.
7 day to clear his head and a permban if he does it again imo.

OK, I shouldn't ask that but how the fuck do you stay inside a tree?! The closest that comes in mind, and that's why I brought it up, is with the different skin models when it looks like you're inside the tree.

If there is a certain bug, no need to mention it, don't want every fucktard doing it (see water-bug).

I think it's only certain trees, and as has been kindly pointed out to us by a certain someone - it's grounds for a suspension (or possibly a ban if you've been a "naughty boy" before).

 

[MaCaBr3]

If they ban uses hiding in a tree, they should ban all luris hiding in shrooms.

But to be totally honest, banning someong for hiding in a tree is just ridicilous.

Next time they gonna ban someone for falling trough the tower inside a keep.

 

[Herjulf]

Yup as Flim said "certain" trees.

There are even trees you can run through still.

I am pretty shure GOA made shure they knew exactly what they did before they slapped the suspension on him.

People can very likely use last attacker and face the attacker but they cannot SEE the attacker nor target the attacker by sight.

It is a map creation problem, Mythic did a nono.
It is most likely somewhere on a long todo list.

But just as Banshee nuke through wall abuse, or porting+nuking abusing, it is working outside of the "intended" game mechanics. Using it to your advantage.

So accept it, play fair and be happy.

All the haters calling him a cheater and bug abuser, makes me sick.

I have never myself seen a "tree" you could run through or even hide inside, if you can run through it then you should be able to stand in the core if the tree right, now why can you get banned for that?

banning paying players for standing inside a tree, wouldnt be the best customer-service, but hey GoA never had that so isnt a surprise.

I think when discovering new bugs, they should be rightnowed, and be looked closer on and report them to mythic for a possible fix, instead of banning people for discovering them.

 

[Rothzak]

there's goes our "shroom in the trees near alb keep, then pull some albs" trick

 

[Nomans Land]

But did he report it? Now so he deserved the bann for using it as a bug.

[General Statement]: Wth do people always bash Mythic and GOA? No one ever takes time to find out the facts like the US SB everyone defends him and bashs Mythic? When actually no one knows for themself because all they have is his word he didnt cheat, or Mythics that they checked logs and he did.

Or how people bash GOA when servers go down? Yes no one likes it but FUCK SAKE are you working in their offices helping them? You dont know why they have gone down and it could be a hardware fault so dont bash the people that work there for it

 

[Gear]

Fair enough if there are bugged trees then. I was having in mind the different textures. Still, since they're being fixed in 1.79, GOA should really make their best to patch it fast instead of banning people over it (tho I don't dissagree with a ban for a bug-exploit).

I got my answer, you can lock the thread
