I agree. This /report command has abuse potential written all over it. In my opinion, they should expand this:

to include falsely reporting an account for any reason. I would also like to see selective removal of the /report feature from accounts that abuse it, but that may be too complex to implement.

Can someone explain the HoS run to me? I saw people spamming for runners but I never enquired further.

It's a good thing I don't pvp. I'd get reported now just because I experiment builds. *rolls eyes*

Oh wait, I must have skipped over the line about I can only report 50 times in a 24 hour period. Whoops.

I'm fairly certain that the /report command will include a chat log excerp or screenshot to verify all claims (which is why following the offending target is required). This is a good way to pile up personal dishonor points submitting false /reports lol. It would be funny if the /report command were disabled while dishonor points are present. It also wouldn't surprise me if you can only queue 1 report at a time.

Basically people would set up as a running build and run trough all the levels.. then when at the boss spam him with the kegs that budger carries and that kills him in no time..

Yay the 12yr old kids have a new toy to play with ingame you call them noob and: /report You called me noob I'll tell my internet mommy. As already been said it will be abused especially in PvE.

bam23 · Sep 28, 2007, 12:03 AM // 00:03

I don't like /report functions since immature punks will use that with glee. We'll see how it goes though. The rest is awesome.

KANE OG · Sep 28, 2007, 12:06 AM // 00:06

Wow! Second update in 2 1/2 years that I actually agree with totally.

I think its PvP only.

The fears over /report being abused are overblown, I think. Like in real life, it is the threat of punishment that is the deterrent. I am sure if it actually gets abused it will be fixed.

Personally, I would have preferred dishonor to disallow entering all non-outpost instances period. Also would have been nice to make the characters wear clown shoes a shirt with the words "I R STUPID" in bright red, and a dunce cap that cannot be hidden while in their dishonored "disguise".

I like the fact that we can finally report those goddamn leechers in aspenwood which i do for leasure. It sucks though how I have a few innappropriate names such as: The Mtha Fkin Cripz, A Jew Took My Money, and finally- The Japslapper.

Mirikashitakuari · Sep 28, 2007, 12:15 AM // 00:15

Barrel spam the doors is what a guildie told me to do...

Seconded, way more constructive.

Acehigh · Sep 28, 2007, 12:22 AM // 00:22

The Charr battle plan update sucks. I just did a mini-mission to defend a bunch of Ascalon soldiers, and all i got was 70 rep points for it.

EDIT: I do believe the Charr battle plan mini-missions count towards ''The Eye of the North'' title track as i am now at 315 points and i haven't edged everything properly and still have 1 dungeon left to beat.

2nd Edit: I was wrong about it adding points, I just noticed the ''Joke'' dungeons like the Snowman Give points now.

Quantum Duck · Sep 28, 2007, 12:23 AM // 00:23

Looks like the report feature is only going in for a few days. I hope it works out and they end up keeping it, but we'll see. There could certainly be issues with it if it isn't handled right, which is probably why they're only doing a trial run for now.

The rest looks like a great set of fixes.

Darkhorse · Sep 28, 2007, 12:28 AM // 00:28

There's a lot to this reporting stuff, read it carefully before deciding it's the end of the game.

Quote:

* You can report a player for leeching if you’re in the same Random Arena, Alliance Battle, or Competitive Mission as that player.

So not in PvE.

Quote:

* An account may be given dishonor points for leaving a PvP match prematurely, for leeching experience or faction, or for falsely reporting teammates for leeching.

Quote:

* If a player is reported for leeching, that player will receive 2 dishonor points for each report against him. Players who report a team member for leeching without a third of their team also reporting that player will also receive 2 dishonor points.

And that's to prevent abuse in PvP. If my guess is right this means that even in Random Arenas you'll need at least two people to report a leech, and in AB you need four.

Vulkanyaz · Sep 28, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

So there will be a new title track for leechers then? xD

6am3 Fana71c · Sep 28, 2007, 12:32 AM // 00:32

Don't forget that large number of bugs are fixed and that there is many good things included, so even if this /report thing turns out to be bad, this after all is, one great update, imho.

2 and 2 actually since 4/3=1.33
(as you're actual group is 4 per) but yup, that's my unerstanding as well.

I'll withold judgement (sounds like Anet is also) on the /reporting, but everything else looks solid

HayesA · Sep 28, 2007, 12:47 AM // 00:47

Pleas enote: The HoS STILL STILL STILL WORKS!

All you have to do is kill the guards at the doors. THAT'S IT. And with the barroll guy following you around, all you have to do is spam drop the explosives. It slowed the run down a little bit, but it's still VERY possible.
