[Bug] that attack losses bug

Is now fixed
those who would like to write a post about it know what i mean. everyone else, no need to know the details

that was one hell of a nast bug, a reeeeaaal bad bite to it

Thanks for fixing it so quick.

kudos to vesper for reporting it himself after having played around with it

Ohh i know, i was the one playing around with him We had our fun but decided it needed to be reported pretty soon just in case it was something really serious. I mean for a second we did think about taking out anyone with a defence worth looking at

I am sure that it was pointed out that it was fixed or did I miss the first post...

LATER EDIT:

i feel like deleting and swearing everyone because of this bug

allot of time, units and kuwal i spent on test server was lost for nothing

it's the test server
you do realize that, right?

test server on which i spent time, which was lost for nothing

why does people play a game? i doubt you know, if you gave me the answer above

anyway, i deleted from test server

cheers

but you did expect something like this to happen, right?
considering that's what happens when things get tested

hmm, how long was the test server been running?
a month or so?
how much free stuff did admin give to test with?

which was exactly my response to at least 1 person who asked for resources

Actually they are right, i should fix it.

Ok open suggestion to everyone who got affected by that bug:
I will gladly return everything you lost, however in return you will give everything back from the free packages

It's not about test server, it's not about real server... it's about having fun

So take from those that attacked me and others on the test server what they should have lost doing so, and let me know if they will say it's just a test server.

If it's just the test server, try ruining their accounts like they did with mine, and see how much they care... i will tell you, most of them will be also very affected because the time they invested playing will be gone

As for the solution you're proposing, if you wanna be fair, do that not only to those affected by loosing, but also to the attackers.


LATER EDIT: i bet everyone will be happy not to give back resources to those that have lost, but to take from the attackers what they should have lost... that would be a fair solution from my point of view... if you do that, i will feel sad that i deleted, but don't worry, if not for me, do it for the spirit of justice

fair solution?

ok, just explain to me which part of the updates that needed testing involves stat building?
the ones who attacked spent their time doing what I asked everyone to do and used the resources I gave out for free in perfectly the way that was intended and found a serious bug that would have made me later on main server:
-waste a lot of time returning resources,
-get someone banned (who would then argue that there was no way of knowing that massing any def with no strike can be considered a bug, making me instantly call them THIS)
-and result in many people whining to get resources back, annoying even more the crap out of me (because that's like an insult to me thinking that after such a serious bug I wouldn't fix the accounts which were affected).

All of that because there were 4 incorrect characters in the code that shouldn't have been there anymore.

If anything I should give them extra resources and you should thank them for them finding it. Unlike some other nubs who took all the resources and spent the kuwal for up, trained farmers increased their def, and obviously have failed to understand why the test server exists in the first place.


explain that in a reasonable and concise manner and I might actually give you the resources back.

you just don't understand why MOST people played the test server

i rest my case, there's no point in continuing this conversation


LATER EDIT:

i suspect you are not talking with me, because:
1. i deleted so i don't need any resources back
2. i did not asked resources... giving resources back it's not a solution, it's dust in the eyes, like i said, make those that took advantage of the bug loose as much as they should have lost that would be a satisfaction

Then they dont understand why it exists in the first place.

indeed deleting was wise

they did not report a bug, it was inevitable when they used the bug on active players, after a long time of using it on inactives

so they did not report you the bug because they found it, but because if they would not have done it instantly, the attacked active players would have

so don't come talking about finding and reporting bugs, they done it after it was no longer need it

PS: i have to stop writing here... omg i don't know what's in my head... probably nothing if i am arguing over this silly game...

Hence the test server is a complete success


Oh yeh and there's plenty of defs left standing that could have been wiped out too, not like it matters in your impression that they reported it because there was nothing left to destroy.
Besides, if you had massed a couple of people you might have found it too and had fun with it

Well lemme start by saying im definitly cheating on the test server - ive gotten many many people to feed me their resources all so i can play around with ridiculous stats and see if there are any holes in admins coding. So yeah when we found one OFCOURSE we abused it!!!! The only reason we play test server is so we can do stuff like that!!!!

If you want admin to check our logs youll see that all in all we stoped abusing it rather too soon if anything! I wanted to carry on but we realised this could have been a serious problem to fix and admin was online at the time.

I hope to find more glitches in the future, shame you wont be around to stat build for us to take down

The fact that you quit over it is makes me smile - it means it was one hell of a massing

*EDIT* also it was invaluable in learning how the changes he made to the wep system affect the way massing works as we didnt have to waste our strikes taking down defences first

For the record: Admin your one of the best admin's i ve seen run these sort of games.

@ selling_UU - you seem to be hell bent on criticising admin because someone found a bug on the TEST server, one which they then used against you. Your now winging that you lost everything on the TEST server... and that you put a ton of time and effort into the test server.

My question to you is this - just which definition of TEST didn't you understand? EVERYTHING on the server is suppossed to be *tested* before it is released on the main server. That means everything and anything on the test server is liable to be blown up by other players *testing* the coding, or wiped out by some previously unknown bug.... it kinda comes with whats to be expected of using the test server

Admin won't say it - but I will - You, sir, are a first class idiot.

[quote="ian"]You, sir, are a first class idiot.[/quote]

this is the first answer in this thread that actually made me feel good

you said that with the same tongue and lips with which you kissed the admin's behind

LOL

nc lol

this thread kinda gives me headaches

can't the option of changing the username on this forum be turned off??

weird

Seems to be a self inflicted wound?
