He had just mentioned custom clients in general but it all comes together at some point. Painhertz, I don't think you understand that there is no reliable way to simply detect if a client has had modifications made to it.

If I am a gold seller running hundreds to thousands of bots at a time do you really think I am running 1000 instances of the normal client? No, I am running a completely stripped down null client which means no graphics, no interface and no client side security if said client even utilizes that at all. If million dollar companies don't have a reliable method to detect these changes, I don't know what you expect Jorb and Loftar to do in this case.

Which is why I said the security needs to come from within and as far as anything server side related that goes beyond manual policing I don't know about that so I don't feel confident in commenting on it.

So yeah! 10 more days, who's excited? What is everyone looking forward to the most? I hope they actually designed those low visibility/hard stealth hermitages and whatnot. I love the idea that I could have a nice little place, maybe a Hobbit hole of sorts, that is fairly hard to find for the average mouth breather who likes to hunt me. Also: To my knowledge they have yet to give voice to anything new about sieging....which I remember originally had a huge part in them redesigning Haven.

I would love stealth too! I always put stealth on my characters even though it was largely useless

The most exciting thing for me is to discover how exactly they changed character progression away from just "watching the numbers go higher", as I think they suggested they had plans for?

Also horses.

Apparently his youtube videos are "still" bringing in people and will bring in a bunch more for launch. Also: there a lot of disinformation on there, stuff like "I downloaded it installed a bunch of spyware on my computer!" Huh? And it's been in Alpha for 2 years, it's never going to release! Someone from here might want to go on there and set these people straight.

[borka]

there are enough ppl setting things straight - and some even posted here when in trouble ...

@_Gunnar
stealth horse tracking ?!?

[_Gunnar]

Well when being stealthy its probably best not to ride a horse ^^

does anyone know if people fought on horseback in the iron age? Don't see a lot of it in the sagas I've read, anyway.

I'm hoping that swords, shields, and bows are rebalanced...

Edit: I remember that week, it was insane... every minimap had at least one new player. I think there were still charter stones then, and people were slaughtering newbies by the boatload to try and get the lag down, lol.

No Charterstones in W6
