Multi-Clienting Temporarily Disabled - Discussion

bye

oh and btw dont do the maint during xtw thanks

though it may not matter depends on how this turns out.

Honestly it's like you guys want to go out of business.

It is unclear why these changes. And so it was good. This will only complicate the entrance to the game.

If I am not able to multiclient at a minimum of 5 then I'm out as well. The one thing this game has above other mmorpgs is that and if you remove it I am sure the people who claim they are also leaving will in fact leave. From what it really sounds like is that the GMs want people to not abuse Arena with alts but instead of finding a direct solution that is targeted at arena, they decide to **** almost everyone up for the few that were the issue.
Edit: Since KalystC says that it not the case. I would what it could possibly be if it is happening to PWI and FW at the same time?

About 3-4 years ago I would log 4 clients to solo TT and help with other things such as self-buffs for PV, fill squads in EU and AEU, and multitask toons when one would be hanging around in delta or something similar. To this day almost 80% of the players multi-client and it is not simply 2-3 clients but usually 5-10 from what I noticed. I don't understand how it is an abuse since the same person could have 10 separate computers and he can play 10 clients and that is considered fair? If you were going to do something like this, it should have been done a long time ago before the game matured so that you would kept your desired audience and not make a complete 180 on your players that have been used to it for 9 years+.

And to be honest, everyone should already know the TOS says multiclient is allowed up to 2 clients but if that was really was strictly enforced, then the game would surely died 2 years ago. I admit I do client around to 6 toons especially when soloing Lunar for badges so if you want to go ahead and ban me for "abusing" the game. I am sure I am not alone in this situation. Even the catshops in Archo are like 10 or 20 toons to one single person, it is easy to tell when they all disconnect at the same time or have the same exact times for sell at the same prices.

The whole reason why people bypass Arc is because it was an unnecessary measure. If it was not, then why would they do it in the first place? Do we really even need Arc defender? I just don't tell my account information to anyone else and disable it because I have a computer in which when I clear my cache with CCleaner or reinstall Windows, the security system will think I am logging from a new device and I have to go through the measure of find my emails and getting access. Not to long ago, I had to even send a ticket because I didn't know which email one of my accounts were linked to.


Update: I found a way similar to the other people's method to multi-client however it is very tedious and slow upon logging on. I hope the issue will be fixed and we can return to normal or some would make a program that would start PWI as soon as you log into Arc and not have to wait for the Arc windows or the Laucher to check for an update. I watch my computer usage closely and it bothers me to see all that unecessary Arc related programs. I have it so my computer runs maybe 4-5 programs on start up and the ones I need to have efficiency. Before you say anything, if you are one of those people that download a ton of bloatware and have like 100 processes running in the background such as updaters, tools, and other things that are not needed daily then I sincerely hate you and don't need to hear what you want to say .

Is this to combat the person on Tidewells with upwards of 40-50 catshops running?

Change it back. You just killed farming and catshops.

If you want to be completely honest just post officially it's to combat 6v6 abuse, stop spinning it around in multiple ways to avoid this.....
it's legitimately to ban/disable accounts people used to abuse 6v6

I get the move but, why disable it entirely limit it to 2 per person like it always has been in tos

IF they do it because of 6v6 i find it VERY odd, a better decision would have been to just turn 6v6 off completely, it wasnt even a thing the first week it came out. I managed to get like 3 battles during the first week. waow.
Would been nicer if they could stop the JJ bots, that prolly had a bigger negative impact on servers.
Hell i would say even the login promo that gave charge reward points was more "abused" with logins n that

Guess ill see how the game looks like tomorrow when I wake up.

Remove 6v6 and punish those with final cape/ring (was impossible to achieve at this point without abuse). Better than disrupt all players.

Here's a question...... Will this affect those pesking JoJ botters?

i would advise to fix this quite quickly or this game really will die...and this better not be the 6 month in the works fix, If the game dies i would like a very good refund of all the money I have put into the game for the past 6 months. I would hope you guys can understand where we come from as this is a pay to win game and can be very expensive and so many people putting so much money into this game. You will have such a very hard time continuing forward if this isnt fixed rather quickly. As well I understand the need for the protection of us but at the same time such a change that will affect multiple customers so drasticly so quickly is not a very wise decision for a game that doesnt have much of a population to begin with. I am despratley hoping you guys learn from this issue moving forward and make a little better planning as far as your customer basis and protection.

I have no words for this, of all the things that have been done
you've officially signed the games death sentence

this game cannot run on only cashopping! we are in need of multi clienting from the way ur making it sound
seems this wont even be available to us for several months...

Learn your own game and how the game is played before shutting down ur business

Ur basically are making ur player base boycot cashopping activities and spam tickets, congrats id say

First of all, why did PWI switch over to a cruddy system like Arc anyways? I don't think we had severe issues like this prior to Arc being official years ago. Back when users actually had the option. Arc has been unstable for plenty of years, and if this was the sole reason of the accounts being messed up, I do not understand why the users are being penalized for a flaw in the program itself.

I understand that certain users definitely abuse the system, but punishing everyone for the sake of a few people is just ridiculous. Unless you decide to merge all the servers, I feel bad for people who aren't in big factions who end up using multiclienting to be able to sustain their member's needs. Especially with the new expansion where you need so many people to be able to gain points and rewards.

I really wish a fix will be done for this, because this is literally killing the playerbase from everyone's perspective. PWI already feels like a ghost town at times, and this just continues it. Here's hoping more care would be done for the company's flagship game.
