Month: March 2013

A friend got me this earlier, he sent a report about a hacker, just to be threatened cause they are incapable of doing their job properly.

^ What does that tell us?

• They think there is a possible violation reflected in combat logs
• But they either can’t check the server data or don’t want to
• They will take videos which can be easily faked and edited before actual server data
• They are unaware most noanimation hacks can’t be observed in videos

So my friend replied asking why they can’t just check the server logs with the timestamps provided and match the data, since it’s not feasible to have fraps recording 24/7, only to be threatened by the staff as they know they are in the wrong:

^ translation: “we are clueless, dumb, lazy, and incapable of doing anything about hackers, and we’ll ban your account so we don’t have to admit it”.

From a friend earlier, playing Tera EU:

[12:11:33] x: check when i sent the ticket, and im still waiting
[12:12:43] x: and our server keeps crashing during siege, but the worst thing is that a very important istance spawn only if the players kill some bosses, but you have only 1 hour do to it, if u cant do in time, no istance
[12:12:53] x: server crashes, we cant kill bosses, no istance
[12:13:05] x: people asking on forum, why the heck is this happening, do something
[12:13:05] x: and they ban
[12:13:09] x: and delete their account
[12:13:13] x: permaban
[12:13:20] x: 5 friends already banned just for asking

[12:17:35] x: i know many people complained about not receiving the items
[12:17:38] x: but srsly
[12:17:40] x: im still waiting
[12:18:02] x: tera club lasts 30 days, i have 18 days left
[12:18:05] x: still no items!
[12:18:33] x: also they said – its useless to contact support about that cuz “sooner or later” the items will be delivered
[12:18:47] x: but no answer at all?
[12:18:49] x: and omg
[12:18:54] x: ok some hours/days delay
[12:19:02] x: but 12 DAYS LATER!!! im still waiting!

Let this be a lesson to everyone, don’t spend any money on shop items or club for any of their games, if you ever want a new publisher.

Update: the thread has been taken down as is Gameforge’s dictatorship policy: silence and threat everyone who oppose their abuse.

Don’t believe whatever you were told about the Sunakaya incident a while ago, that GM was fired bla bla, that’s all bs, I know the GM and he is still working at GF. Gameforge staff are downright lying about it, the GM was working for the Aion team temporarily while they lacked staff and is now under another games department.

And here we have another event today:

http://board.en.aionfreetoplay.com/board23-aion-the-game/board26-general-discussion/13363-yet-another-gameforge-corruption-story/

Copy/pasting, before they remove the post in the forums:

Yet another GameForge Corruption Story.

If you didn’t know, Gameforge decided to change most of the item names in the European client to all sort of weird and bizarre names of their own which don’t make any sense, and ruin the use of armory for everyone.

Take for example this item/quest:

Now you are wondering what this is about.. because you don’t seem to have a quest with that name, as the changed names don’t even match other related items in most of the cases, so you go to AionArmory.com as usual to find relevant information about the item or quest, just to find nothing..

Turns out the original English name for the item was “Fiery Heart”, and the quest name “Hearts of Fire”. (I found out the name by in-depth check of the logs by item number etc).

Or say you want to look up some drops from Tiamat’s Stronghold (GF calls it Tiamat’s Fortress), all the names have also been changed, for example, Tiamat Guard’s Greatsword:

is now called “Greatsword of the Tiamat Defence Troop” in the GF European client:

 

Another one, the new abyss boss that pops on Sundays, Moltenus, drops items like:

which in turn GF decided to rename them to “Fragment of Wrath Orb”.. ??? seriously? I think they must have been high on weed when they decided these names.

All the armors in TS are also changed, most quests, etc..

So all these changes only come to ruin the user experience even further since their “3.5” update, and also undermine the usability of ARM’s item library, which contains the original US client database names.

Gz Gameforge, you managed to beat yourselves once again in the rank of stupidity.

Final note, I will not be including a European client database for now to alleviate these issues, as I firmly object to all these retarded changes they’ve been doing which only break the game.
