Well, i was looking at epvp today, and noticed that there was a topic about these Statues. Turns out, that someone quoted joymax's notice, on their site, and it said, that if you get killed by the statue, you will get banned. Is it true? cuz looking at rev6, and none of the server are full (*only ARAL)

so, do ppl really get banned or??.

Ask stupid people ho made partyes and try to kill them for 1 xp .

If they do get banned its rly unfair, since some people are knocking other people to those statues. Joymax certainly know how to fck up the game.

But I think they'll ban u if u get killed by statues many times in a row. Since bots just think they got killed and walk back the same way, get killed, repeat etc. Would sound just mad to to actually ban players for one kill.

But in the other hand, why am I worrying about this when im not playing the game? Anyway enjoy empty servers when u still can, bots will be back in a week or two.

no it's not. go pvp somewhere else.

problem solved.

exactly

So you have to adjust your normal play habits because Joymax can't do shit right? Seems...logical.

"Can't do shit right.." I guess the statues would be so Farking useful in middle of Farking nowhere in the map. I guess that not a single goldbot would be killed by em..

Shit IS right when the statues are placed by the gates of cities.

stop pvping and go lvl or logoff

friend of mine starting screaming in caps and bitching about how joymax was gay, when they put up those anti bot mobs, cuz apparently he died 277 times that day, he didnt get banned...

he is pretty damn stupid

So who would fail more... the guy spamming he got killed by a bot killing mob 277 times, or Joymax who ignores him...

maybe he was botting lol
how can u die 272 times handgrinding it...

he does bot.. thats what im saying lol and he didn't get banned

I guess you're right. I shouldn't blame the company, I should blame the community.

Because Joymax cant do shit right? /phail

I'm been killed by every one near DW on accident. There are still some idk where they are at and so now I can't use 'cruise control' anymore and i have to click on the ground a lot.

There is no 'cruise control' feature in SRO!



"do things right" != "to .curve's standards".

Sure, these mobs are not quite the way a lot of people would handle the situation, but it is the way Joymax has decided. Maybe they have some other things under the hood that we can't see, checks on the server, etc. One good thing about these bot mobs (I suppose) is that they are visible to the SRO community. The players can visibly see "anti-bot" activity in the game. Maybe the activity would be better in the form of GMs running around in the map banning people, but it is visible activity nonetheless.

I'm pretty sure the announcement said players "may be banned" if killed by these statues. So maybe on the server side, Joymax is marking accounts that get killed as "suspicious" so GMs can investigate those accounts further for a possible ban. Active, live GMs can only cover so much of the map and can't be everywhere at once, but these mobs can... regardless of how effective they are.

It'll be interesting to see how this all turns out.

by cruise control, do you mean - clicking on the sky like I do and then your char just runs there?

Untill a wall or sumthin on the floor stops ur cruise, ive used to do that while trading, when trading was worth/fun.

Yes, cruise control sounds funner. I do it if I know I'll be running for a minute or 2 in that direction. 1 click is better than a bunch of clicks cause then I click into my browser real quick or change my music.

the statue attack trade ?

everything that ignores the sentinel warning mobs get killed,
no exceptions

Actually It only killed my wolf when a bot was running through it. I can attack it with a pet and it didn't kill it. Either that or it lagged super bad on the attack cause my pet hit him good 4 times.

These mobs are nowhere to see at Tigris anymore. Is it the same at other servers?

I think the location of the anti-bot mobs changes per server. On Iris, there were 3 outside of west gate hotan when it started. One day I came outside and there weren't any there at all. Last night there were 4 mobs in different places.

I ran into one of those statues WAY out on the road with no warning mobs by Pamir Plateau a few days ago. Last night it was gone. I think Joymax is just constantly changing the locations of the statues.

I can't find em either. Wtf!! They were working.. They better not be gone for good.

joymax is actually doing something smart by chaing their locations. So that bot creaters can not just avoid 1 space

Actually they are back.. and seem to be same place.

I think they made them like any other mobs. They have looked where the bots are and they have created many spawn coordinates for them, like normal mobs. And those mobs spawn randomly, sometimes several will spawn. I don't think that GMs are there spawning them by themselves.

doesn't matter. whether it kills all bots or not. if it works, it works. at least in the meantime. and by work, i mean freeing server traffic. what's left to see is the long run effect. so enjoy it like i'm doing.
