Everything else said in this post is reasonable but this line is one of the most pointless things I've ever seen staff say.
Hah He laugh.
That opens up wonderful possibilities for people to be places they aren't supposed to be, without people being able to call them out/report. I'd say it would be better if staff would be able to /dynhide players, so that a player can ask a staff for it and give whatever reason they have.
A better way of catching people of doing things that they aren’t supposed to do is looking at their logs. Most people are in places that they shouldn’t be because they look to see where players are.
There won't be any motivation to check logs if said person can't be seen doing the thing that would prompt log checks, though.
Staff mostl catches people when they are reported. It is a undeniable fact that there is a large presence of meta gaming due to the map it’s called the meta map for a reason.
So you complain about war rules and say that you can fix everything about them, but when staff says "Ok, feel free to offer your suggestion", you get mad and demand payment?
I do understand your justification for wanting players to have /dynhide. But, I think that players will, at some point, use it for unnecessary or unacceptable reasons. As such, it's a safer bet to have an "ask us first" thing going, where a player can be hid, but has to ask a staff for it and give good reason why. Not only would this let staff keep track of who is hidden when, but it also would prevent people from abusing it. While players can for sure be reported, if that player is hidden and can't be seen? No one knows that they are doing something that should be reported.
Wrong. You can see that people are hidden or at least in the sorrows because their name is greyed out on the side. And you can always check on people if you think they are using it for the wrong reasons.
There's nothing incongruous about pointing out problems and offering to fix them in exchange for compensation. That is, in fact, the entire nature of my business as a freelancer.
We had some folks from council working on it like two years ago, and were going to open it up for "beta" so we could refine it, iirc. I doubt it would have ever been "final," just various working versions. I imagine it's just been lost.
The server has changed a lot from two years ago.We had some folks from council working on it like two years ago, and were going to open it up for "beta" so we could refine it, iirc. I doubt it would have ever been "final," just various working versions. I imagine it's just been lost.
That said, I know folks think this rule is dumb, but it is just stronger consequences for rules we already have. Hard to enforce, sure, but that's not most of our problems~ Although screenshots always help.
Apparently not that much if y'all are still wringing hands over war rules.
That's just additional work that is unneeded. Why go through the hassle of looking up who is hidden, then messaging them about "hey hm what are you up to?" when instead you can just have that problem solved from the get go? There is no need for people to be suspicious of hidden people if the only way they can be hidden is by telling staff why they want to be hidden. The only reason that I can think of for one being opposed to having staff control hidden privileges would be if they think staff will metagame or if they want to abuse the hidden command.
That’s like saying America hasn’t changed much because we still can’t find a solution to health care.
Look, kid, all I was saying was that there is a starting point somewhere that you can work off of if anyone wants to go find it. You don't need Lannis, if he's not around or responding to things, you just really need Solus to give her blessing. Don't come at me and expect to make sense if you ignore the entire gist of what I was getting at. And when what I see are the same damn stupid arguments that people were having when I left, maybe that means those things haven't changed in ways that other things (plugins) have. I'd say they haven't one bit, when people are grumps about staff strictly enforcing an existing rule during wars.
