it's not so much just an issue, as it is an inherent design flaw meaning the client isn't thin and server trusts it, which means that much more might be possible, and unless they rewrote the entire client server architecture for beta2, more exploitable stuff is still possible. norfleet is right. it shouldn't have been possible in the first place.
heh, i wasn't talking about save editing, i was talking about direct memory manipulation. thought your anwer was to that, not about saves.
Which aspect of this loses money? If I buy a crate of stuffies, and then I steal my crate of stuffies, I still own the crate of stuffies, but now the stuffies belong to my alt, yes? My total networth of A+B remains the same: One crate of stuffies. The only difference is that A bought the stuffies, but now B owns the stuffies, and can then reclaim the money by selling the stuffies, which must necessarily be neutral or even profitable given that you can trade for profit. What's missing here?
It's not about wanting the game to fail, it's about trying to figure out how to play it at all. If I'm going to play this, I need to work out a strategy to do so. Now, you might say something inane, like "Just play the game like a normal person!". The problem: If you play the game like a normal person, you won't get any results better than a normal person, which means you've already lost.
Heh, you haven't seen the level of crazy-boring things I've pulled. You ask Vaarna, I solo'ed a base, a task meant for a team of 50-100 people. If anything, I like it boring, it means I don't have to have FUN. I hate fun. Boring but lucrative is what I'm all about, Asian gold farmer stylee.
Lost? Lost how? I'm playing the game to entertaine myself, not to be the No1 best player in Elite.
Oh..... Sorry, I understand everything now.
Well, winning is my entertainment. There is no substitute for success!
Never! I am good sport, never ragequit or throw tantrums. If you genuinely play better, you earn your win. Just don't expect me to simply leave it at that. I'll figure you out! I'll scrutinize RAW for every angle to beat you if that's what it takes. It's pretty much impossible to offend me, since I am a generally considered to be a robot with no emotions.No offense, but you are probably one of those people who throws a tantrum if you are not at the top of a leaderboard in multiplayer games.
Hey, now, my dice rolling is entirely legal by casino rules. One hand, past middle of table, striking far wall if present. Doing this is a fine art and a skill of gaming which is entirely absent outside of real-tabletop.
Pssh, nonsense. First, like I said, it is totally legal. Secondly, the system wasnt "never built around it", it was originally tabletop to begin with! That *IS* the original system, I quite rightly see a change which essentially removes an entire portion of the game as dumbing down. Objectively speaking, it reduces the depth of the game by removing dice-shooting as part of the gameplay skills, since a game's depth is objectively defined as the difference between the best and worst players. Take, for instance, an example of a game with practically no depth: Flip a coin, one player wins, other player loses. Best and worst players are basically indistinguishable. No depth. In a truly deep game, the best tower as untouchable gods before the plebians.
Wait, wasn't your goal to get worse results? And you can't "lose" in this game. Jesus fuck.Norfleet said:
That's what we would call a move of last resort, because anytime you're doing things like a normal person, you'll only ever achieve NORMAL results, which means somebody else already did that, and so you've already lost.
Well, in the sense that you can't be eliminated from the game, perhaps. But I see it as more the opposite of winning, because if you're not winning, you're losing.
Already anticipated that, solved that challenge awhile ago.
Perhaps. Not every avenue pans out. But if you never ask the questions, the answer is always no.
Yes, but anyone can do that, which means everyone does that, including you. So that's baseline. Anything you gain over baseline is your win. If you can solve a resource-transfer problem, then you can go over baseline by adding income from farms. The very fact that they're trying to stop you is reason enough to try to beat it. It's an exercise in "They said it couldn't be done. They said I was mad to try. But I'll show them! I'll show them ALL!". I mean, the game doesn't even exist yet, so all of this is basically a theorycraft anyway. If I find a good angle, it might be worth translating that into a plan of attack. Otherwise, no point in bothering at all.
And how do you win in elite?
You can't win either. But if you want to be ahead of the curve, quit your job and your social life, try to sleep less and play as much as you possibly can. I bet you can gain advantage over all those 30-40 year olds that constitute the majority of Elite's playerbase quite easily.
