News Tidbits [9-1-2016]

• It is now possible to AFK stall, If a player wish to AFK stall, They must create and setup their stall before proceeding to logout (or close client) and the server will hold your session until the stall have emptied. The system will allow players to overnight stall or create stall without worried about getting disconnected meanwhile. If you are AFK stalling, As you try to enter the account of this AFK stall character, You will first be prompted of "Account is already online" which is perfectly normal, As server will disconnect the AFK stall so you may re-enter the account and load a character. This offering is quite incredible as it will allow economy to be stabilized and reduce the stress when players experience intermittent network connectivity issues.
• Due to botting epidemic, We've went ahead isolated most common botting and begun to roll out captcha-based solution for those characters who deem to be botting due to usage of common botting skills beyond regular game play usage. In simpler words, If you bot, You'll see captcha come up and if you don't comply within, You'll be kicked. We've placed very high setting of sensitive, So getting captcha prompt should be almost never happen, But however if you do feel free to create a topic in the forum and elaborately explain what you were doing at the moment of captcha. We expect to see improvements in terms of locating botters quicker and reducing prompts to non-botters.
• Sea commerce was faced with some problems when you tried to open up cargo trade with certain NPCs. It is now fixed, You should be able to speak to any NPC and perform cargo trades without any problems.
• Persistent states improved to be more reliable especially when it comes to changing between maps.
• Some of the story quests had incorrect parameters, Especially at "The Runaway Shroom".
• Chaos Argent sometime did not store users's last entry and allowed re-entry if they logged out, We've fixed the missing object and ensure it exists before allowing admittance.

Thank you! Enjoy! More to come !!!

I like stall idea, not sure about captcha idea it was always stupid which y its not even used on websites even more (now we just use google recaptcha) and im sure no matter how you try to tune it normal players will be bothered.

So getting captcha prompt should be almost never happen

Thinking about it, instead of having the system analyse behavior and determine if the player should be shown a captcha, it would be easier if you gave players the ability to tag botters (just like you invite a player to party you rightclick and click and option called report botter) which would then tell the system to analyse the players attack pattern and then determine if a captcha is required.

basically works the same way but in this case its the player and not the system that starts the report botter system. This way the system wont unnecessarily bother anyone and it cannot be abused by players since the captcha comes up for you to clear yourself of any wrong doing.

If it was exact science he wouldn't have to say this... maybe you should read before u post

Sounds cool, but if this is implemented, please don't forget, should work only in battle zone, players in safe zone shouldn't be able to get "reported"

the stall feature is awesome

About this captcha.
It is a bad thing for NSS FARMERS(it is a tool system of the game
not a freaking bot 24/7 farming) and game economy. You know why? Because the money that are in the game is mostly because of the farmers. NSS is by far the best thing in the game to make money for the game. Farmers get money by the system and buy things from MALLERS and Mallers obviously buy RUMS with real money that help the server to keep on. Not only that this helps new players to get money and buy some cool equipments for them to make them stronger and get at least close to the mallers. I have tried to farm after this change but i got dc every 2 minutes even when i do the captcha thing. I don't know what you're trying to do there but it's not good for economy of the game. People are selling UG at 15m at stall how we suposed to buy this without this system? Yea, manufacturing is a nice way to get money but players are now with less money to spend on manufacturing and other thigs. This will not after the economy for now but later on it will be impossible to buy expensive things and make the game playable.

Auto-magma is not a freaking BOT is a tool from the system that make it possible to farm while you leveling your main character and that's it.
I do this to have some money to buy things from mallers to atleast be strong enough to defeat someone without Rums.

I know you guys will disagree a lot with my opinion but at least fix this freaking captcha. Make it like every 30 minutes because it's freaking impossible to farm even when we solve the captcha every freaking minute we got dc.

Botter Spotted:

You do realize That it was made to Fight the "easy" pixels you get from such actions?
This is HARD Server
So be Grateful that IT warns YOU about your illegal actions!
Unlike, in Fox
Where They Just POST banned all botters and all connected accounts

I'M NOT BOTTING! JESUS CHRIST! I AM USING A TOOL SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS ME TO FARM! GODDAMN!
I PUT MANUALLY MY CHARACTERS AND ACTIVE THE AUTO-MAGMA EVERY 15 MINUTES. BOT IS AUTO-HOWL.
I DON'T USE ANY ILLEGAL PROGRAM TO DO THIS.

 

[Shinon12345]

What's a tool system

 

[blankalack]

nothing will change, just find another way to farm nss if you dont like captcha thingy

 

[blankalack]

BTW , people still botting, they avoid captch by using 3rd party program so they cast the skill in the ground without using auto skill.

 

[SkyChaser]

Great job!

What would that mean?

Edit: Question about the AFK stall. If we leave a character with Fairy on, set up a stall and go offline, will the fairy give Coins and earn Growth?

Definitely, I think it works in a way that the server is simulating or running the server

BTW , people still botting, they avoid captch by using 3rd party program so they cast the skill in the ground without using auto skill.

yeah I agree, they're probably using autohotkey for automating it. @Zankza respond

 

[MadRage]

great job. zank. hope alot of good updates will come and not like what happened in hexa where there are alot negative feedbacks.

 

[Zankza]

There is no correlation of auto-cast and anti-bot.

 

[kinginamoves]

there are still botters...lots of them!!captcha doesn't apply to those who use third party program...

 

[Zankza]

captcha doesn't apply to those who use third party program...

Server has no concept of "client" nor it can view/control your PC. The whole system is server-side, there is nothing on the client side that determines captcha prompt.

 

[kinginamoves]

but..you can change the condition of when to prompt captcha, right?

 

[blankalack]

rework it, make it to show captcha if magma (not necessary auto magma) is being used more than 3 times within 1 minute then prompt the captcha

 

[kinginamoves]

how about prompt captcha to those who doesn't move in place(disregard the choppers and safe zone area)

 

[aquaricky]

rework it, make it to show captcha if magma (not necessary auto magma) is being used more than 3 times within 1 minute then prompt the captcha

idea is bad.. because using magma, or using magma without moving doesnt constitute botting since auto magma is not botting (Even if the person is afk). So u cannot pop up a captcha to annoy some1 who isnt doing something wrong.

how about prompt captcha to those who doesn't move in place(disregard the choppers and safe zone area)

Bad idea, suppose i want to afk in battle zone while getting plvled ?? or suppose i want to auto cast an AOE heal or debuff while some1 plvling me?

 

[Zankza]

It seems that everyone is speculating quite a lot. I've seen everyone describe and complaint how this so called anti-bot would affect their scenarios when I know for fact it won't.

It doesn't present the captcha if you are AFKing in the battle zone. It doesn't present you captcha if you are auto-casting heal skill. It doesn't present you captcha in most of common scenarios. Even then, if you ARE presented captcha, you are REQUIRED to comply it, otherwise game will politely kick you off. This is our way of telling you, "Hey... what you are doing right now isn't okay".
