Telsiai server, 9.30am in the morning, SEA time. There were more but 5 in a single screenie should cement the point I’m trying to make.
If this is happening on a server with limited access, I shudder to think what’s going on in Varena.
That said, it’s a bit overwhelming to a month old player like myself, let alone a new one just starting out in town.
Was the banhammer sent for servicing over the weekend?
It has always been the case since early access… even though IMC took measures and banned a number of bots… another two will pop out to replace the dead one…
Seems like they need to implement a countermeasure to prevent botting… like maybe putting random immortal hittable objects where their hp dont diminish when they are hit.etc…well i mean thats my 2 cents.
Hail Hydra
Oh yeah…with regards to the topic on the spam bots… maybe captcha or restriction to general chat…
Maybe restrict the chat of a particular person lets say IMC implements a chat limit of 10 times per 10 secs(Only ppl to spam usually are ppl doing Rushes/ Trolls from what i see…)…Once the player hits the limit they get muted for about 1 min and placed on the IMC watch list…
There’s an addon LKChat that automatically blocks and reports these bots so you don’t have to deal with them manually.
I made a guide on Steam if you don’t know how to use it.
Ah i c…Thx for the tip…though i still dunno whats IMC stands on addons honestly…although its really beneficial if this addon is allowed…Any idea?
im in telsiai teneth church 1F with abt 20 bots running around. thats in ch6 alone. they shouldnt have open telsiai
Coming for telsiai i know how it feels =p…but im sure its the same for the other servers…maybe that’s why the restricted new players from creating accounts…
But what i’m concerned is that…by restricting the flow of new players …they are not only blocking necessary funds to themselves(i mean there are hardcore supporters but everyone has their tolerance/budget) …
Its really hard to say… now though… cause its kinda messy
yeah IMC is so stupid. creating their own problems. i expected them to atleast solve this bot issue before opening telsiai again.
Chill… there are other games where bots run rampant lol…
I rather they fix the other issues first and hire/recruit a few experienced GM to do some sweeps in game…
i am chill the most is i quit the game since i dont really like playing with bot and keep on reporting them. didnt play this game to report spammers and bot
You should try leveling up.
Early grind is very inefficient compare to doing quests, meaning that pure grind bots (especially when they only kill 1-2 things at a time) level much slower than actual player who do quests on both city lines.
At much higher level you might still run into a questionably bot character, but it’s definitely nothing like the low level.
Im hanging around the forums to till Tuesday and see what they gonna implement this maintenance…
Kinda doing other stuff currently other then playing ToS…
They said as long as the addon doesn’t become detrimental to the gameplay of others as well as exploit the game’s system then it’s fine. And all this addon does is just make the game playable for users. No messing with anything other than chat.
I personally use it and it’s been smooth sailing so far. Towns are free of the spam and I get to play the game free of annoyances.
Alright…Thx alot for the clarification!! 
IMC tolerate none intrusive/harmfull addons, LKchat do facilitate the job for IMC and make the life of player better. It also doesn’t give any gameplay advantage or cheats.
But I think IMC should definitly implement this feature on the game.
