Pools Closed (Asura Is Full!)

100% troll, do not feed the troll

Rrrrrrrepost

At least I got stuck at a nice even 50 characters.

With Asura being locked down, that should make the $cost$ of current characters pretty valuable, ya? Race Change, you can be a new man tomorrow (have to deal with the name).

It is possible to name change, without a server jump.

Delete. Make a new one with the name. Call square and say oops, restore plx. It will come back requiring a new name.

That said, I don't know why anyone would want an assuran account after closure. Buy it and it gets banned in the sweep two days later.

Wasting your one time restore just to change a name seems incredibly dumb.

Are you going to be deleting your characters multiple times, really?

Also; Never said it was a good or bad idea, only that it exists. Can be done is not a recommendation to do.

The real problem is, people are complaining about the Ambuscade line for Vanabout on Asura to the official forums. which is true the line is stupidly long, but not for the reason people think. There is currently three people bot farming Legion for Penelope's Cloth which shares the zone with Ambuscade. Anyways the problem lays with the one person that has all there bots solo farming taking up an instance each for 30minutes, where the other two guy keeps all there bots in a party.

The sad part is multiple people have called GM's over this. The really sad part about it is, there gonna close down character creation to a sever because they think there 23yr old game is more popular now than back in its heydays. This shows you how much SE is out of touch with eleven at this point and/or doesn't care about this game and its clients.

If you would like to take back some of Asura you can help by filling out a STF forum about his matter, I would say calling a GM would help, but I swear they are clueless when it comes to eleven most the time.

P.S. Please report the Legion bots on Asura, to help with the Ambuscade line, Thank you.

Reporting the legion bots is all well and good, but there's not really any basis to believe SE is mistakenly shutting down the server over ambuscade queue times. Asura's had performance issues for years, and the population has risen by well over 20% following the bonanza kupon handout and FFXIV crossover.

The amount of cpu load per user is vastly larger than it was 'back in its heydays' because of additional tracking such as RoE, additional movement calculations for trust, increased speed of attacks and actions by both players and monsters. The server likely utilizes 3-5x more resources per active player now than it did in 2008.

I get that it's fun to hate on them, but the real issue is that the server code is single-threaded on at least a zone basis if not a zone cluster basis and there's no way to scale that with more hardware. If they're pushing up to the limit of what certain clusters can handle, they have no way to fix that besides an extremely costly and risky server refactor or reducing the amount of players there.

They have have ban 4,101 accounts this year alone, taking a wild guess in saying 95% of those were probably from Asura, with the sever being locked, I wonder how long it will take for the performance issue to be resolved than.

I think they've definitely upped the policing on Asura in response to the closing, a long time multiboxer friend of mine was permed on all 6 accounts two days after the announcement, yesterday I was transported to mordial gaol, formal warning for calling a Scrub a Scrub lol,
I've cancelled my sub for awhile, if you cant call the kettle black anymore, all that's left is snowflakes, anyways I'd be careful doing anything on Asura at the moment, it could be anything that gets you at the moment

Has anyone else experienced GM brutality over something stupid and small?

Stop being so blunt, MrBlunt.

Part of the TOS, be happy you got GM jailed and a 10 minute time out and not a 3day. Keep your opinions to your self until you get them in a discord where you can tell them how you really feel with no repercussions, other than feeling like an *** afterwards when realizing that wasn't even worth it either.

Or be more passive-aggressive. Something along the lines of "Going forward, you can only impress me."

good luck my friend, those bots have been running for probably 5 years by now. surprised they lasted that long though because it was always the same characters unlike the constant stream of new chars that do salvaqe then ambuscade during the wait.

at one point you could remain in legion indefinitely and keep the zone occupied 24/7 without ever zoning. and either SE has/had no clue or just didn't think it worth addressing, which is sad.

not nearly as relevant as when adhemar gear was truly BIS, but still the only place to get reasonable amounts of things like palladian ore for ioskeha belts, as well as regen v and gravity ii scrolls. one of the easiest ways to create new gil, too, just npcing all the crap. can also npc gear bought with legion points for more money.

We just got to get enough people on board with the reporting, until SE address the issue. One *** should ruin some content for greed.

The irony of being butthurt and going public over someone else being butthurt and going to gm. At least that person had a real reason to be irritated :) You shouldn't call anyone a scrub, because of good manners, not because of TOS in the first place.

Accept Mr. Scrubbles

I mean, I'm not denying it's related to bots in legion (just the other day, someone in my new linkshell complained about the price of a couple scrolls being exorbitant, they both come from legion). But I just had to complete that completely ridiculous "take damage" objective last night. So I went on Monk/Dancer in VD1 and spam cured myself for a half hour with trusts, died, raised 3-4 times (no exp loss) until the objective was done. Took like 23 minutes. I'm sure there's people like me in Ambu who need to complete that dumb objective just sitting in the zone for half an hour letting mobs wail on them.

Well your a GALKA so your brain is not your strong suit, joking... I feel you could just go in on RDM on a lower tier, never died and take less time. VD is not the best for everything, need to balance your DMG taken with your heal power.

Lol man, you're pretty Michigan Mad about legion bots if you keep editing all your posts with more and more *** about them.

I mean, if he's sitting in a 30 min queue in Mhaura he's got plenty of time to think about it.

pretty sure frod had access to if not outright ran some of the chars that botted legion, although none of the names nsane listed are ones I remember. maybe some did get hit after all.

***man, outside of the initial runs for the vanabout wave timers have been sub 5 minute waits.

may this love for a game never find me

I can honestly say i've never once botted legion. I am way too *** lazy to get ***like that working. I barely have a functional smn or whm gearswap half the *** time.

apologies then, I must be mistaken.

You're not, but if he wants to lie about it, it's inconsequential and will only lead to pointless posts.

bros i *** love legion

Lmao man. I have logged in maybe once this month to shitpost. Keep slobbing that knob thinking that i'm some mastermind multiboxing bot guru

Alright, the people arguing against reporting are intolerable. You've convinced me, I'll chip one in.
