It boggles my mind how spending thousands of dollars on something still doesn't afford you a straight answer. The reason you won't get one is because Bort coded x-factor and now that it's gone horribly wrong he is trying to "uncode" it or should I say *cough* fix it. You see this is a mmorpg first of all and the goal of an mmorpg is to have the player on a treadmill with a carrot on stick just out of reach. Always having something to strive for and that carrot on a stick in this case is rolling a player with x-factor. What Bort failed to realise until now is that that's not the proper way to run a business. Why should one person get more entertainment value for his dollar than another person?

I also want to voice my displeasure with the mod that moved this thread here. Similar to how a ref should NEVER be the deciding factor in a fight, the best mods are the ones that encourage the flow of discussion and only step in when things get derailed. There was great progress done in this thead and it was moved here knowing full well that no one reads this god damn forum.

*glares* at Jed.



I'm not saying this is you, but this is a classic example of why everyone thinks THEIR build shouldn't be tearing it up. If it isn't working, then there must be a glitch in the game. For a long time, weight/height were the X-factors that people weren't considering.

Don't blame Bort for your players that didn't become superstars. No matter how he did it, 95% of players aren't going to be elite. Just laugh about it and try again.

As long as no one knows what the X-factor is and no one gets to test things out on the side, then it is all fair and equal.

Enough with the vague double talk - let's have some clear; well communicated answers....

Just like we saw whenever that bug was in place so supposedly SOME people had a crap load of extra skill points through exploiting - at that time - Bort gave details....he ran reports....he gave us the info gathered from those reports...he spent time massaging the community.....

Do that again Bort -

is there anyway to know who's players were bugged (per height/weight)?
is there anyway to come up with a number or a % of the player base that was affected (define the problem)?

Pretty scary that a bug of this magnitude (if that's what it is) survived 11 seasons without being discovered....pretty scary that this topic has been discussed ad nauseum for months and we've been laughed at by mods/admins; just makes me wonder - what other massive bugs are in the programming? I would bet some of the SA's are for starters.


It won't happen. Customer service for this game has always been poor. Bort is like the Wizard of Oz hiding behind the curtain while we all skip along the yellow brick road searching for our brains.

so -


did Bort ever come back with ANY kind of statement after he 'fixed' the 'weight bug'?
