Chat blocking
 

Allot if people complain about chat blocking and it been around for ages, so why hasn't it been patched up yet ??? Like I wanna be able to stand in front of a door and use gc for a sec and not be accused of chat blocking ......

So it there a particular reason it hasn't been patch yet

The best way to solve problems:
Stop complaining.
there its fixed.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I know of at least 1 guild leader that does this on a regular basis on the stairs at mod and yet never seems to get banned. According to admins and other ppl blocking isnt illegal unless its the door to get inside the tower itself. and unless your a hacker and cant take any damage.

I fail to see how chat blocking and slowing down your damage rate to keep a guild from defending or getting to the flag its fair and allowed to happen. The only reason I can see that this is allowed is because even the gp's don't have the time to deal with it. Maybe they should allow you to attach pics to the user feedback when reporting the issue so they have proof of the offense.

I was thinking of being a bich and make a thread about blocking,and start uploading screen shots of ppl blocking just to show all of the offenders. Just to see if that would get something done about it.

cool thread

I don't get why people make a thread to point out the obvious

its a way of spreading the word @Ryan.

I was informed today from a former admin that a big problem with the blocking is that by the time they get to the report,and respond. The player doing the blocking is not there at the time because they got pkd or something. So a lot of the time they don't actually see the player doing the illegal activity and move on to the next report.

This is why I am going to start campaigning for them to add a feature that lets you attach screen shots to feed back reports. So they can see physical proof of the issue and can warp and warn or ban the player. Hopefully this will speed up the process and make it easier to ban repeat offenders. As part of my campaign I have started collecting screen shots of doors being blocked at towers. After I get a few more I will start a thread and post them their.

Obviouse yes YES MY POINT , if it's soooo obviouse why not fix it ? Is it the engine ? Well they should get a new one by now

ok first of all, put the chat bubble things back into towers

^^^

lul...

Rufus pls

I think they took it out so people wont report players for chat blocking staff believe
"Oh I cant see the chat bubble over their head they most not be chat blocking"

They just need to set a warp bubble for doors at towers or make it so you can't stand in the door way and just make it flat walls.

Deadwood 2nd floor room you can just block those doors by standing and chat blocking. even with the first floor stairs.

Ok I don't play classic, what is exactly chat blocking?

its when 2 people are having a conversation in front of a door in a tower. This is annoying because if you're attacking you have to wait until they finish their conversation before you could go through the door and attack.

Can't you just kill them?

chat blocking is when people stand in front of the door and hit the guild chat button. This makes them lag and it takes forever to kill them and if you have an older ipod its even worse.
lol I was messing with you

Chat blocking is when a player stand infront of a door and peresses the guild chat button , this make that player flash allot slower and longer before u can attack him again. This gives a Huge and un fair advantage to defending a tower or even sometimes attacking it

Chat blocking is mostly used in Mod,Sardons,and Snow. They need to widen the Hallway doors at Sardz,and Snow(ooooOoooo is constantly chat/lag blocking the hallway I have screen shots to prove it) to fix it there. then widen the stairs or add another set of stairs at Mod.

I think Swamp really needs it's entrance changed to a duel entrance like DW. How many times have you seen a noob blocking the swamp tower entrance trying to get in with out a tag? Or boosters blocking and Pking causing big pile ups at the door. Snow should be duel doors as well. I have seen guilds blocking the entrance there a couple different times.

BTW I think by simply allowing players to push or drag other players out of the way would solve a lot of the blocking issues.

Wtf

I can't even begin to explain the number of problems with this.

Still, I like your ideas that you posted above this.

lol yeah time in time I feel like when he gives ideas hes high

I have been drunk for a few of them,but never high......just say no to drugs kids
:D

Lmao now a days kids get high of soup

I was thinking something along the lines of:
if you are using guild chat you will be paused or something similar, so players can run through you. Thus eliminating chat blocking. I agree about it being an unfair advantage.

Maybe they could do the same thing for ppl when they lag. More so for players who lag freeze up and block there own guild members from getting to the tower flag.

I guess I have been attacking swamp a lot lately because I'm seeing door blockers there constantly through the day,and pk mob pile ups consisting of several attacking guilds as a result of it. I would think the Gp's would get tired of having to go to swamp and warp out the door blockers and would just add a 2nd door.

Also half the time the door is being blocked by members of other guilds idk if there pk boosting or just being jerks but its annoying as hell and its giving the current defending guild unfairly gained minutes.

The other blocking issue-A guild will take a tower then a well known member of that guild will "randomly" go offline 2 minutes later. Then a minute after that a "random" noob ends up blocking the door to that same tower. It seems pretty coincidental to me. I know this is probably impossible to prove,however aren't the admins able to see the users accessing points? And if multiple sources feed back report that would it get thoroughly investigated? This is probably done a lot more than ppl realize.

IMHO the only real solution to the massive amounts of blocking is to allow multiple access points to enter towers/rooms. Yet the admins don't take the time to make small changes to some of the towers they would rather let the Gp's deal with reports and warp ppl away all day.

Why don't they just solve all flag room blocking points and add two entrances.

I've been saying that for weeks. multiple entrance doors at snow and swamp, widen or add second sets of stairs in mod, add a 2nd flag room door in Sardz not that it would make it any easier to take. Kick SON out of castle (ok so I added the last one).
