New HTML/CSS rolled out two weeks ago. Be sure to check out the new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features.

We also added two new themes (first time in 4.5 years!). Thanks to seaweed for porting them over from OneeChan!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

In SWTOR if you pvp on a pvp server you will get banned. This is just laughable. I guess a group of players were attacking an enemy base in game and received threats of being banned by a GM if they didn't stop killing the enemy and leave the area. Pic related.

Doesn't surprise me. Bioware is absolutely terrified of their little player base having to deal with any kind of unpleasantness. They've actually said in the past they won't allow cross server LFG because they are worried people may be mean to eachother. They've also said this is why they don't want the game to be competitive and almost didn't add PVP servers for this reason.

Biodrones are accustomed to being coddled like an 8 year old that was just raped. It's part of their strange psyche.

The blame for this rests primarily on the naysayers and disruptive elements who from the first day on had no other goal than seeing our hard work and dedication fall apart at the seams. But, as we all know, this did not happen, and today sw:tor boasts one of the most solid and dedicated communities in the entire gaming industry.

So, lets summarize it again.

From the Gayware point of view:

They claims that they made best MMO ever released and everybody says so is filthy troll. And it's best because:

>There is no economy (banning people for utilizing "supply/demand" rule and buy low/sell high)
>There is no PvP outside specific areas, eve on PvP servers, which is just another named PvE
>There is no exploration (bans from visiting certain areas before reaching higher level)
>There are no people around you - even if somehow more people play on your server, they move them to some sort of "sub-server" and as a result you always plays with minimal number of people around
>There is no real end-game

My mind can't stand it. Its like calling sun moon and vice versa.

You know what? I played SWTOR on an RP realm, Shardin Tunnels, or whatever the fuck it was called.

I realized quickly I couldn't pvp, couldn't really quest (because of broken npc's and lag). So, I decided to RP. The RP lead to ERP/cybering, and just while I was getting some Jedi pussy, a GM sends me a message saying "I've been monitoring your private chat for the last 45 minutes and I have to inform you that you are breaking your ToS and I will have to suspend your account". I didn't even get a screenshot before I found me on the login page.

Now that in itself would be bad enough, right? I'm not allowed to have imaginary sex in a game I bought and pay for monthly, but the girl/guy/whatever I was doing it was also banned, except their reasoning was that she had broken the Jedi code by having "intimate relations" with another player. I wish I was kidding, I really wish I was.

I don't play tor, so I don't know how the game client works as a technical implementation matter. However, I can tell you that *most* serious MMOs (as well as obviously logging everything server-side) also maintain text logs clientside of stuff you've got access to, including all chats, messages and so forth.

Even if you didn't get screens you might be able to dig through wherever your client keeps preferences and shit, see if there is a log file/folder. Not as good proof or photogenic as a screenshot but it'd be something.

Seriously, "monitoring private chat" what the fuck.

That's standard procedure for most MMOs.
What's not standard is people getting banned for shit that doesn't get reported. If someone claims they were harassed through private chat, they'll go back through the logs and verify it.
I've never heard of people getting banned for ERPing in a private channel like that in any other game.
>>
>>140787390
Some EULAs actually state "we don't monitor private stuff even if logs are kept somewhere" because of purely smart and self-interested reasons (hint, this is yet another area Bioware is being retarded): explicitly stating that no monitoring happens unless someone complains also helps resolve them of any responsibility. If they claim stuff is being monitored, that can change things legally because now people can say they're on the hook. Being purely reactive, just like an ISP or whatever, is both a TON cheaper and legally more secure.

That said you're right, most EULAs have clauses that pretty much amount to "we can do anything whenever we want and we can change this whenever we want". Those clauses aren't entirely legally enforceable (certain matters are beyond contract) but at least for stuff on their own servers they're pretty tight.

It's the biggest problem with Bioware, they treat their players like children.

No competitiveness allowed.
No playing the auction house.
No obtaining gear above your level.
No calling other players poopybutts.
No cross server rivalries.
No PvP in a PvP server.

>That's standard procedure for most MMOs.
Actually it isn't, although it's totally understandable if you glossed over the post you're replying to slightly. There is a big, BIG difference between "automatically logged/archived somewhere" and "active monitoring".

Naturally, most MMOs (or online services *period*, not just MMOs) log fucking everything that crosses their servers. It's both a matter of CYA and sometimes an actual legal imperative (some places have laws mandating archival, usually for a 6-24 month period). So yeah, when there is a dispute they've got information.

But usually only a few people can access the full logs, and there are procedures in place (it's not too hard to have a system where log access can only come through a complaint ticket for example), precisely because it causes huge fucking issues when any random creepy GM can use it to stock people, or to secretly monitor private convos in real time. There is no need for them to have those powers in order to do their jobs, giving it to them is
A) Sloppy coding
B) Sheer stupidity
C) Both-oware

Haha, I cancelled my account a month ago today. The reason was that I was playing with my cousin, to whom I said "fuck this shit, I'm off to bed" after killing an extremely hard douchebag in an instance who didn't drop a mission item any of the three times we killed him.

In WoW I had a GM tell me that they were sitting in on our raid and asked us to refrain from using a glitch to take down a boss. He was at least reasonable and after watching us try and fail several times because of retarded mages he let us use the exploit. It got patched the following week anyway.

What scares me more than Bioware thinking their brand of "moderation" is acceptable is that their drones are okay with it too. What the actual fuck?

This.

In Wow and every other MMO I've ever played I can do and say whatever the hell I want without limitation in the game I PAY $15 a month to play.

If I piss someone off or offend someone and it is reported... Then a GM looks into it and takes action if I crossed the line. Actively monitoring EVERYTHING and taking action against things that no one is complaining about is an entirely different thing.

Wrong.

It has absolutely nothing to do with cooperation with friendly/non-threatening players.

This plus there is a whole 'nother level as well: most MMOs support more shades of grey then "you can do anything" and "entire account banned". Taking EVE for example, I played for a while back when /v/ had a big active corp for a year or two (made for some pretty good times, although I think it's all long since disbanded at this point). Naturally there was a great deal of faggotry and people shitting in local and such, and the corp did get warning mails about it. But they were mostly funny and understanding nice warnings, and also the GMs had an important tool: they could just ban people from *chatting* in local or public channels, or even block messaging and such, rather then having to do anything to their accounts. Is someone talking like an ass in local? Easy, natural response is just to globally mute them. Doesn't cause any drama, fixes the problem, expires after a while. No one got butthurt over it since everyone knew when they'd deserved it anyway.

That sort of fine-grained enforcement is really useful. It means it can target just the problem, so it can be used more easily and safely and doesn't cause all the trouble and resentment of actually destroying a paying customer's investment.

Apparently though Bioware's only tool is not merely not a scalpel, but it's not even a machine gun, it's a nuke from orbit. That's it. Do anything at all? Account fucking suspended. It's completely stupid. Suspending accounts/characters is Serious Business, and srs as it gets in an MMO. It should only be taken for the most serious of violations (like true mass economy exploits or directly hacking the game's servers or shit like that). Bioware has zero knowledge of MMOs from start to finish.

I started a Jedi councillor character a few days after getting the game. But I kept having some really weird graphical issues. Whenever I saw those laser-gate things, the laser would seem to shoot off in the distance as far as the eye could see. I could not understand what the issue was, so I tired asking in the public chat if anyone had ever seen something similar.

I have never in my life been so insulted, flamed and generally hated in such a short amount of time, and I once told /b/ I was black.

It started out with "Never heard of anything like that so it's your computer, not the game". Then someone added; "Don't you just love it when idiots don't know how to google something?", followed by "Listen, I spend my ENTIRE DAY solving people's computer problems for a living, what makes you think that I want to solve your problems for free?". It escalated from there and they all began telling me to leave if I thought the game was so bad and eventually that I should go kill myself for having such a shitty computer that I couldn't run the game as intended.

Actually they *are*, but it's genuinely not their fault too. For a really scary read, go take a look at "Escape from Camp 14".

People genuinely get terrified at the mere mention of words like "escape", they get actual rapid heart beat and shit, because it's been drilled into them.

Of course in milder forms Stockholm Syndrome and the like shows up everywhere. It's just one of the uglier bits of the human psyche we all have to deal with, and some do it better then others.

there's different levels that i believe /v/ has established where there's a game and fun and finding an agreement between having fun and having the game, especially with pirating involved

with this game, you don't need to pay, you don't need to pirate, you don't need to aggressively search for downloads or any of that shit, because everything that's genuinely entertaining is already free or any equivalent thereof. theoretically, this is -the- greatest deal of fun you can have with any game without acting upon it in any way shape or form (disregarding scouring their forums for fresh information ala OP's image and forum link)

Well yeah, North Korea pretty much is the product of a ton of indifference and aggression at the time. Problems between South and North, South attacking first, UN backing the South because Stalin didn't participate in the UN council like a retard, tons of killings and atrocities by both sides, and in the end an enclosed nation ruined by war. Probably Kim Il Sun had some loose screws and his team of like minded people killed all of the military and political staff that were not hardliners like them (alongside their families) and started mass repression on the populace. Right now you really can't blame anyone in the system because all they know is a life like that.

Thankfully no one died because of ToR.

Might be one of their actual plants. I recall a couple got revealed a while back, people who were straight up being paid to bacterial their own forums, although maybe that was a different game.

When i get a kid i'm going to name him Bioware. Yeah at first people will think its a joke. He'll be quiet and rather nerdy at first and occasionally even draw a bit now and again, only a few people saw them but they said they were all of astounding quality. Given time he'll reach highschool and more than likely and up joining the "in" crowd. It will start off well, i'll be glad of his new big group of friends. One day he may even show off his art again but its been a while, he probably just put the drawing aside for a while and now he can't draw for shit. His friends will stick close but soon, as more drawings release, they start to turn against him. First he had 40 friends, then 30, then 20, then 10 and finally he will have to admit defeat. In glorious combat him and his good Asian compadre RINE Jr will try to fight of the hordes of angry teenagers but they didn't plan. They had no idea. As they run from person to person stamping DING DONG BANNU on each head they receive numerous fatal stab wounds they fall to the ground in a daze. Looking to the crowd around them my son will gaze around him and merely ask "Why?". It is at this point the biggest kid in the class steps forward and glares into his eyes before lying atop of him and enveloping my son into himself. Nothing remains after a few minutes of squirming he begrudgingly stands once more. As he turns to walk a way RINE Jr see's his last words engraved on the back of the kids lunchbox the size of a construction box. Property of Gaben Jr

It's the reason I stopped playing after my group was pretty much stopping any horde from entering Area 52 for about 2-3 hours. They bitched to the GM and he told me to stop or I'll get a ban, I told him it was a PvP server and continued, 10 minutes later 48 hour ban.

so jump in dragons breath (by the grace of god I got them all) spam living bomb like a motherfucker, run away using every engineering trick I had and watch the motherfuckers pop

then a blastwave for good measure and all of them were scattered all over the place and dying at separate intervals

That's what happens when the job of developing an MMO falls upon a company that has zero experience in multiplayer (that I can think of).

EA had no idea what they were getting into.

Nah dude, BioWare didn't even do the majority of development on this, EA cannibalized Mythic and founded a studio in Austin, TX originally called EA Austin or whatever, now BioWare Austin. They handle all that shit and did the majority of the work, BioWare wrote some storylines and did a chunk of the voiceover work previous to their taking over development.

As you might imagine a group of douchebag nobodies hastily assembled under directors who care more about stroking their ego than the game leads to a terrible game.

If you're stupid enough to pay 15 dollars a month for a game of SWTOR's quality, you're welcome to. That doesn't mean it's a good idea.

>Mythic
That explains why Roosterteeth was praising this game with no regards for actual quality. I think one of their big Achievement Hunter guys came from Mythic.
