Marking off Mobile, Alabama as a place NEVER TO VISIT! Thanks for the heads up! In any case... if I saw a leprechaun in RL I would totally punt it.

Ping is 380ms? If so, that's pretty darn high. Even 250ms is high.
-
I understand where you're coming from. I too spent money trying to get a nightmare and never got one. The one question I have is this. Would it be fair if you logged in, had or bought keys that day, unknowingly opened a lockbox, got a nightmare, just to have it taken away from you? Would that even be legal? I honestly…

Internet speeds look decent. Not sure what the chasm is but it almost sounds like you're overheating. Try Coretemp for CPU and Furmark for GPU.

They should do what many other MMOs have done. Have sub model alongside a f2p option. I can't see the harm in that. I've personally never seen a f2p model surpass a subscription model in quality of content. I think that's a reality publishers are still struggling to accept, but I think the end is near for the f2p…

They truly believed those people were innocent? Let's just say, if they're banning people for sharing a quest, they can ban people they think took advantage of the bug.

40 Minutes what are you joking?

Welcome to the fray fellow "white knight". LOL 2/1 First Strike punks!! We totally need an Exorcist in here!
-
Conspiracy theories incoming! But yes, I agree.
-
No man I'm being sarcastic. No worries.
-
I don't agree. I think they have an empirical view on the matter that we do not, and I think they handled it professionally.
-
I'm a sinner.
-
You could have been on a different server. Those people might have had a lot of keys?? Still not their fault. Keep in mind it was the last day to get those lockboxes.
-
No I didn't, stop being emotional and present the facts please. Don't post crappy photos that mean nothing.
-
I agree, and I think that's the stance Cryptic is taking, professionally. They're not going to come down on people who probably got the nightmare innocently. They can prove it by looking at the logs, otherwise we have no idea. It's up to Cryptic.
-
Right, but that's an assumption and still doesn't prove it was an exploit. Come on. Anyone can go out there and find it... on Reddit, Facebook, even IRC! Show proof that this bug was published and anticipated!
-
I understand this could be a loaded question... and I'm fine with that. Why didn't I? A) I don't want to destroy a game I support. B) If I wanted to, I wouldn't have enough time anyway, it takes a while to purchase anything from the cash shop. Anyone who's actually bought yen knows that. If someone was that ambitious, to…
-
Really? Or the simple FACT that the drop rate was increased so that ANYONE who opened a box was getting a Nightmare 8/10 times. If I bought 10 keys and decided to open boxes, and got a huge percentage increase because of a bug, that's not my fault. I didn't exploit it, because I didn't know about it, I just happened to…
-
No. You need to be conscious of a bug to exploit it, otherwise Cryptic owns responsibility, which is what happened - players aren't to blame. Cryptic admitted their mistake, and we all need to move on.
-
I was logged in when it happened. I didn't see any one name being targeted. I didn't see anything that would lead me to believe that anyone was exploiting the bug. Of course Cryptic has the final word on that as they can see more than any of us here.
-
The first week I started playing this game I bought 3 keys and used them in rapid succession. If I had waited until after the patch to use my keys, I may have been lucky but I didn't and I wasn't lucky. You have to consider the thousands upon thousands of people that play this game. There is a very good chance that they…
-
How would a player use something that is unknown to their advantage? You can't exploit something - that is, take advantage of it- if it's not known.
-
I agree with reality, no matter how relative. However the reality you refer to is not actually legitimized. Please prove me wrong. Don't show me pictures that could pertain to a multitude of different interpretations. Those pictures wouldn't even hold up in a court of law let alone a theoretical discussion.
-
It wasn't an exploit. It was a bug.
-
Based on what criteria?
-
The nightmare lockbox bug wasn't an exploit. An exploit means that a loophole has to be known or published in order for it to be exploited by end-users. Otherwise it's just happy accident or discovery. MANY will argue that the loophole was known on test servers based on ONE very vague post (which had only a few pictures)…

Hehe, you mean when websites were educational and written by hand in notepad or vi, etc? 9600 .. you speed demon you. If it was US Robotics you had some real horsepower there.
-
I haven't felt hustled yet @ lvl 35. The way I see it, coming from subscription based games - if I like the game, I'm willing to pay some money each month... but I haven't found that it's required to enjoy the game. Once I hit lvl 60, I'll probably either start an alt, do Foundry quests or maybe build some of my own…

I started out with a 1200 baud modem on a x386 with 4megs of RAM. I was a sysop on one of the biggest BBS systems in the US... before the internet even existed. Wow... am I old?

What map are you getting lag on? Maybe it's your ISP? Google speedtest and give it a run.
