Another Ban for quest Bloody Pit: Unchained (old Blood and Sand: Unchained)

robertthebard

I actually played this today for my Daily, hope I'm not banned too...

I enjoyed it.

I put it in my questlog when I found it. Haven't run the new version yet. If it is anything like it's predecessor I don't know what the problem is. They really need to be open about what the problem is.

You made Blood and Sand? I played it the other night, really enjoyed myself, hope this gets resolved for you, good luck!

I haven't played your quest yet, it was going to be my daily foundry for tomorrow. I've been hitting different popular quests each day for the daily. It sounds like you really didn't make an exploit quest, I'd try maybe calling support, other games I've played making a phone call has gotten answer much faster.

I am hoping for any answer from devs/mods here. We will see

Well, if I don't misunderstand, they said that part of the end game fun is the foundry... kinda "never end dungeons etc."

Ok so they rely on people to make dungeon with the Foundry... well they better put in place a good policy and moderator because of people start to understand that they can spend days creating a dungeon and have it banned without any reason after new hours.. well it really doesn't sound great and people will just not use it anymore.

just my 2 cents..

Seriously, PWE, unban this quest post haste. It's better content than a lot of what Cryptic has produced. And I can see nothing that violated anything. I've ran it like 10 times for pure enjoyment already. Wonderfully balanced and combat heavy but still with a backdrop. Don't nerf your own content, BWE. And kudos to Blood and Sand's developer. Really awesome work!

I suspect it's utterly, morbidly, ridiculously stupidity on the part of some mod who would rather ban any quest that even sounds like it might be in violation. This way, he bans the ones that need banning but doesn't actually have to spend time doing his job of actually evaluating them. He just bans everything and goes home early.

You'll never get a response from a dev here. You'll only have a community manager, aka Rental Cop, answer with whatever they think sounds right. Cryptic never provided much for customer support, and probably could care less about the issue at hand.


My honest thoughts on why it is being restricted is the automated system they may have changed in the foundry to detect certain maps that are exploit maps, and it just so happens that whatever they've done to detect said maps, is tied in with whatever you have going on in your map. I know this is somewhat similar to what a rental cop already replied with, but it really does come down to reasons unknown to anybody, and we can only imagine that it was done by a computer and not by an actual person.

Name it attack of the fuzzy bunny arena.

Bloody Pit: Unchained is using part of Vellosk map, avilable in foundry + another 2 rooms from foundry.
Nothing special, really.

The only response you'll get will be from a moderator closing this thread, the same as last time. There's not much you can do, unfortunately.

My friend told me about this quest back when it was still called Blood and Sand, played it and liked it a lot. I hope it gets sorted out and unbanned soon as it was better then any non-foundry quest out there.

Too many scantally-clad ladies in it most likely...

kiralia

They really should get some better organisation on this. If they don't tell authors what they did wrong how can they learn not to do it?

sockmunkey

Well, it was mentioned before. And that got dismissed completely out of hand. But the whole half-naked girls and the slavery aspect are probably the reasons. They have said very clearly UGC needs to be teen rated. The slavery alone makes that border line.

We have a few hardcore feminists wandering around the forums (see my 'pants and shirts should have an option to be invisible' thread). Wouldn't be surprised if they got together and reported the map for being offensive.

Slavery is in vellosk common thing, you have even quests to fight with slavery market in questline. Same as gilrs locked in cages, just watch carefully when you level up.
You have half-naked models in foundry too to use in quests.

Nothing to be reason of ban.

. . . . . Please do not re-open locked threads. Discussing Moderator actions is not allowed on the forums. Neither is discussing any sort of Ban. You will need to contact Support for only through the official means for Support on Bans and Infractions can you gain assistance. Continued posting about it on the forum will only make matters worse.

. . . . . It would be safe to assume your UGC Violated the ToS, possibly one of the following:
