Those guys were having some, mostly, harmless fun; and they tested server stability to boot.
I applaude the creativity, dedication, and sheer autism that this experiment required.

From my experience with the game so far, people always lose things. Sometimes, due to no fault of their own.TeckXKnight wrote:They caused a rollback. People get angry when they lose things. =)Styledatol wrote:I don't get the hate.

Re: GarbageDay!
Both points are very true. That won't stop people from being upset over their losses though, big or small. Traditionally, the people who rage the most are new players who have the least to lose, so I stand by my answer. People are upset because time shenanigans happened to their goodies.

Re: GarbageDay!
The ones that got items duped, amongst other interesting positive events, most likely are quiet about it too. News about it got relayed to us via skype.
Obviously they rather not come forward here on forums and from past experience its best kept quiet. Sadly that makes things look skewed on forums when everyone looks to be complaining.

Re: GarbageDay!
The fact someone got benefits doesn't really bring balance and make the whole thing neutral, on the contrary it only makes it worst. This would work only if losses and benefits applied to the same people. (don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining nor blaming anyone, I know you did not mean this to happen, even though you could have assume (and most likely did) this ending is possible, just pointing a logic flaw)

I've lost way way way more in previous world due to roll backs.
My post was more along the lines....misery loves company....
@Xcom dude don't sweat it I love your tests and stuff you do. that crazy ass pile of boulders. epic. Had an idea for something like that last world as a trap we could set off from outside view range....gave up after "dude that's like 50,000 block....errr" as we figured it not a single toon would survive that.

Re: GarbageDay!
Watching the vid you can see the far right most guy getting 8 cavins before dying, 6400 dmg. The other 2 chars got 4 cavins and the alt trying to escape barely even had time to get away. Its even deadly on lvl 1. Underground vaulters should consider support defenses outlining there inner walls.
I don't know why but I somehow thought Loftar had put in a Easteregg in the support mechanic. Was really hoping that many cavins would somehow spawn in 2-3 trolls in the midst of all that chaos. Maybe in halfen they should add unique events that are triggered unexpectedly where you would never expect it to.
