Divine Intervention: Balls Bay et al vs. Dev Team

[Fostik]

Do you know if this works with wrecking balls? Last I checked during W11 or W12 it didn't allow me to fix palisade damaged by it

You can't place wrecking ball to siege someone anymore.
You also can't keep repairing palisade as there's a cooldown between repairs.

What do you mean? Do game mechanics disallow that?

[vipes]

Bug abuse is explicitly allowed by the devs: "report before you 'sploit" When did that turn into "never under any circumstances 'sploit"?

At this point it's not even clear what the rules around bug abuse are. Is 'sploiting OK or not OK? What's the official way to report a 'sploit? We need a massive clarification from the devs here before we start handing out permabans.

BTW I'm a PvE'er who's been raided by both snail and his victims here. I don't really have a dog in this fight.

thanks, I had no idea about this change

What's the official way to report a 'sploit?

PM to the devs (ideally both, maybe in the same PM). You aren't obligated to publicly disclose the bugs you report directly over forum PM.

Came by to laugh again at all the malding, nice job Jorbtar!

[ChomikBBT]

Jorbtar did not intervene in any of the cases you described except for the well.


All of this is entirely irrelevant, however. If I should've been banned for those things, then I should've been banned for those things.
Depriving somebody of an inventory of paintings for less than 8 hours and reporting two visitor bypasses in a week should (very obviously) not result in a ban.

Ahh you forgoten about Coinpress what you stole

In which game can you exploit bugs just because you reported them before? Come on. Do you really need to have everything clarified?

It’s common sense that bug exploiting is never okay. Doing it repeatedly, world after world, actively harming the community, is even worse. The only thing that surprises me is how many years it took to take an action.
