Should AD be punished for queue bug?

Knowledge · February 2018

Ban the players for exploiting.

Blood for the pact. Ban them all.

No, they couldn't have known it was a bug

Try Sotha Sil, AD is always punished by the purple alliance and DC wins by not being online at all.

No, EP and DC would have done the same

AD spends one night taking advantage of a depopulated server to run up the score and everyone's heads are on fire. DC does this every single night on Vivec and nobody starts polls asking if they should be banned for it.

Don't tell me that "it's different because it was a bug" because no the heck it isn't. AD players who logged off that night weren't able to get in; the bug happened to everyone. AD just happened to have a lot more people sticking around because of the planned points push. Cry moar.

That said, I wouldn't mind if the affected campaigns got a fresh start. Even if AD wins Vivec this time around, the other alliances will just tear up the forums with "AD won through cheating!!!1one!!eleven!!" and nobody's got time for that.

No, (other reason)

First, it's a bug.
Second, AD on PC/EU Vivec morning/night-cap every day for at least 2 years, not a big change for EP and DC players (I'm EP by the way, on ALL my chars).
Third, how do you recognize guilty players (because I'm sure some players exploited the bug) from innocent players. A massive ban would be unfair in my opinion.

you bet pact would've steam roll pvdoored every last bit of the map. besides that i don't care, it's neat to win the campaign, but i'm having fun in cyro and enough ap gains, even if we loose.

Send the boys round to duff them up.

But seriously - can't blame anyone for being lucky enough to be able to play.

However, if the start of a 100m was screwed up by a faulty starter so only half the runners actually set off, I'm pretty sure they'd call it void and restart that race.

But then with AD morning-capping every day anyway, it wouldn't make the blindest bit of difference - since (EU-VIVEC), no matter what the majority (primetime) results are, EP always win.

There are bigger broken things with the game than a false start, when every day, the slowest runner keeps turning up before the other 2, and saying 'look - I've already won'.

I also agree with "Rollback the campaign to before the bug took effect" though.

But please, everyone who called AD "cheaters" and other stuff look yourself in the mirror and say that EP/DC wouldn't have done the same, just LOL.
Specially EP, masters of zerging.

Just for the record, if i saw 3 bars on AD side and 1 on the others i really wouldn't think it's a bug. I would also leave cause there's no fun on taking an empty keep. (unless another alliance nightcapped us before)

Nope. Not unless they decide to do a hard push to even the playing field by changing everyone's faction at random to equalize the server or make it a queue system to where each player can't get in until a player from each opposing faction ques up to keep the numbers the exact same at all times.

I saw this weekend a screenshot about the bug - the map was entirely blue. I don't remember which platform was the source. So AD was not the only one alliance which made profit

Why is it always AD same thing on xb NA prim time I'll sit in a que of 300 while AD is pop locked and AD friends tell me they have a 10 que. While there is almost no blue on but huge que.

Yellow was pushing for emp this last reset thats why. So basically all our skilled players hopped on and we had emp first no problem, while team purple has 50 queing on yellow alts sitting at home and we still won 1v2 population wise. And it also depends on the time. Its not that blue wasnt on they were getting held on in the map.
