how do you make it more than 60% though isnt that the limit at the moment?
Yeah I told prof about it too last strat. He already knew about it when I told him so you and others beat me to the punch. Thought it was fixed with 60% being the max but I guess not.
Oof. How much pp did you need for 66 then? I haven't seen it so I thought it was not available.
189? i think
Just reset entire strat. Learning about this silver laundering crap through this thread just took the whole enjoyment away I've had for strat.pretty easy to identify those scoundrels, quick sql queries will show me who has vast amounts of silver or equip. in any case, i'll begin downloading the backup from a week ago and hope that the discount bug was not discovered by then
Thanks for making it public though and also thanks to Prof for fixing it, but that's sadly not going to change the fact, that there are now people sitting on millions of silver or worth of gear to cover it.
The other three options won't really work imo. Option two would made things unbalanced, since both strat maps are connected. Option three, since the bug was already known way before the start of this round of strat, there's just no point to revert strat for just one week. Last option won't really work either, people who abused the bug could've already bought tons of gear. Beside that it seems to be a lot of work to identify everyone who abused it.
Gonna pause my strat activities and wait for a reset for now, plenty of people wanted already a reset beforehand anyway, because of the insane amount of PP and therefor insane amount of S&D this strat.
the max discount should be set at 60%. i'll recreate the bug and figure out where things went wrong, and fix it for good this time
fixed. will consider how to proceed from here with regards to abuse of the bug. either
- reset entire strat (pp is wack anyway)
- reset just eu strat (us goodboy na players haven't abused it)
- reset strat back to earlier in the week when the bug was not abused
- manually lower the silver gain of those guys to what it was earlier
if strat isn't reset, it's likely i'll employ measures to drastically reduce PP. in a way that is fair, so that people who invested points get those points back somehwat
thanks for bringing this to my attention. it turned out that some older pages (shops page for fiefs) used different constants than the newer ones do, which is just dandy to deal with. anyway, this should not be an issue in the future
It was hard enough finding the motivation to do anything this strat at all, would really hate to see all the work we've put in get wiped away cuz a few EU nerds decided to try and game the system.
Turning down the PP production is one thing, wiping all progress thus far and restarting strat 7 from the beginning is another.
You miss the point.This so much!
People grind money so fast -> people take their fiefs so fast -> people have no reason to leave their castles -> now its a siege me down if you want to fight game which sucks ass as attacker -> so they sit in their own fiefs too -> any field battle we get is the occasional "theme battles" " events" now which makes strat only a tool to hold events with and completely destroys its political and economic mechanics.
actually it was a nanerd who was the first to abuse this
it was a nanerd
give name
