If this has happened many times before and cant be checked and corrected.... wipe strat guys
I agree with this. This issue should be fully investigated and parties that benefited from this bug and did not report it should also be held accountable in some way. I would also like to thank the Frisia/Funbutler guys for being so honest and taking this to the admins right away.
Yeah, we reported it to Canary as he was the only crpgay constable on at the time. A strat wipe would be dope if this goes on a lot. Although I really find it difficult to believe this has happened plenty with nobody reporting it. It may be a fief-specific bug. Desire stated that it had happened to her, but it reverted back to normal after an hour.
It really sucks that Cikel is a bit stuck at the moment; we're a bit hesitant to put the gear up in a fief in case this can be easily reverted. I understand the situation looks a bit bleak with strategus being near zero on the list of priorities, but it feels damned shitty to sit on all this obviously illegitimate gear. GET IT OFF OF US.
Someone showed up to the general IRC the other day reporting someone got bumped to EU from NA and had thousands and thousands of gear on him. First time I heard of it.
If this bug is not new (and it seems to be quite established, in fact we may be the last people to know about it) then strategus should either be wiped entirely or an official word should be given that Strategus will not receive mod support.Last honest clan :rolleyes:
i hope devs get onto this asapBan for those who didn't report it & kept\sold stuff would be nice too :twisted:
perhaps even freeze strat till this is resolved,
it shouldn't be too hard to identify armies with lots of gear or gold which they havent had before, time intensive though.
Ban for those who didn't report it & kept\sold stuff would be nice too :twisted:oh u bastard! u want my kingdom after they banned me!&!?
i hope devs get onto this asapi think best way give to as time like 1-2 mounth finish that strat in bloody bath and then wipe EU and blanked ban NA :P

... blanked ban NA :P
Yeah, a few days ago we caught guy teleported from NA with 15 tickets and over 9000 crates. Mostly -2 shit but after selling we got over 1.5 million. We thought they are retarded and we are lucky as hell, but now everything is clear. Pfffff... I think that balance baner by UIF / antiUIF on public servers and continuation this war on cRPG servers is the only solution :evil:yep u or in UIF or BAN BAN BAN!

I have not seen anyone in our roster with that kind of gear. Has this only been happening to defenders? It would explain the massive amounts of cav everyone seems to have for every fight
It would be nice to make this bug know & allowed for all(since devs don't care anymore).
Every battle would be max plate vs max plate. Plated chargers, throwing lances, flambergs, steel shields etc.
& XP! 100-200k per tick :shock:
Only bad thing - ranged will be doing zero damage & would be constantly bumped by plated cavalry :cry:
Because the Strategus community is known for using exploits in fun, fair ways in order to get big battles that everyone can enjoy. :(
I hate to be the one with the ultimatum, but we're put in a shit situation with "hot" gear/gold. If no admin action is taken or at least instructions received by myself or cikel within two days, we will be forced to use the gold or at the very least store it in a safe place. If we hadn't reported the damn bug, we would have been in an amazing situation in terms of gear, but also in terms of effort expended upon this issue. It would in fact be a non-issue for us, but we chose to call the crpg police.
Sorry, but I really don't want to be put in a position where we are forced to defend a gigantic stockpile of gear that we're, in fact, afraid to even use for fear of getting a banstick.
If this bug is not new (and it seems to be quite established, in fact we may be the last people to know about it) then strategus should either be wiped entirely or an official word should be given that Strategus will not receive mod support. That way we know to take care of bugs and duped gear as a community and not hang on the word of the admin/mod/dev teams.
Note that we attacked the village that made them trigger the bug, and they had members flee with 500,000 crates and 1,000,000 crates each apparently while emptying out the village, to protect their duped wealth. Then the bug did not trigger for us at all. So I am glad that Strategically, capping a frontier Hero Party fief has benefited our enemies with millions upon millions of gold and duped horses with nothing we can do about it.
Strat, woohoo.
They asked for admin intervention and then stated they were more or less locked down until the issue was resolved. Instead of waiting for anything to happen, you attack immediately, hoping to capitalize on the situation, but they weren't stupid enough to leave the gear in the village. You then try to spin the story and make them look bad.
I'm just saying how the bug ruins the game. Lose and retake a pretty meaningless fief, and the enemy gets 1.5 million crates of goods and hundred thousand horses out of ~1000 tickets being exchanged and we get nothing.
I don't blame them for shit, but their faction no longer has a need to trade ever again, along with anyone else who benefited from the bug so far. No risk of caravans. Its just going to get stupider as time goes on.
Are you fucking kidding me Smoothbitch? I'm done being reasonable.
We have had NO WORD from the admins on what to do with this shit. You think we're going to leave it in Mawiti for anyone to take? I can trust nobody but myself, least of all you. Of fucking COURSE we're going to leave with the gear. This bug has almost certainly taken place before, now you're going to berate us for trying to keep this gear out of hands that might use it? After being the only ones (!!!!!!) to report it?
Yeah, fuck off.(click to show/hide)
Oh, and we gave you 40k more than was in the fief when we took it. You're welcome, bitch.
is the banking system still active?Its not.
if yes, sell your shit and put it into the bank, it is out of circulation and everyone can have a clear concinious.
Right now you should get 50% of the items used in the battle, but you end up getting like 5000%. Whole strat should be locked down untill this is fixed, it's just fucking things up really bad.
From EVERY battles ? :shock:
Or like Sandersson said, he logs into Strat from his University and a few friends houses, he'll probably get banned for multi accounting now. I access strat from my phone some times, will I get banned too?
seems battle are frozen atm. So there is something done.
Now when devs bring battles back online, please not all in a 3 minute intervall, but like 24 hours later same time they were supposed to be. We had that before but i believe the last time it was done with 24 hours later not sure.

Hey guys, is the bug fixed or not? Please reply, because we prepare something exciting for our mates from east :twisted:
with the gear you got from attacking that duped NA guy that got sent over?
that is the rumor going around
No. This equipment was sold because it was shit. We gained about 1.5 million. Source of rumors: http://forum.meleegaming.com/strategus-issues/fief-take-over-results-in-item-multiplication/15/ :rolleyes:And that gold will be used to feed poor children right or may i take it you do it like Sanderson and put it onto an afk dude?
Any word from our beloved developers or admin staff?
This REALLY sucks, having two of my most active people more or less locked down because of a glitch. Once again, we could have used the gear or sold it all and nobody would have been the wiser. Throw us a fukken bone here.
Our plan as of this time is to attempt to move all the gear into a fief that is unlikely to come under hostilities. Still really sucks that we are forced to use our players to drag the bugged gear all the way there.
Bale what was the FCC doing attacking its own city (nova curcaw) yesterday with dbrookz in some made up clan and the 3 guys on the FCC roster allowing him to take the city. Didnt make sense to me but now that i see this exploit it would seem obvious why they where doing it and of course now dbrookz and nova curcaw are back in FCC hands today.
Global PermaBan
Perma for 24 hours delay ? Rough justice.
Curaw belonged to kesh who is still banned for posting chat logs.
Not sure why this popped up in here but as matey said had to transfer it that way. no choice with Kesh banned. Hopefully he will be back soon. I know you all miss him.
That's what they were campaigning for smoothy and blackzilla.
I love how I can make a post saying I miss Kesh, and Kesh will +1 the surrounding posts but not mine.
If he gave you a plus 1, then you'd lose your 666 renown.
