Built in cheat (PVP)

I know this is old. But to me its new.

If had known this before, I would have never ever gone into pvp4 again.

For someone like me, that is slowly trying to return to Entropia, this feels more or less...like a built in cheat.

There is even a thread on PCF about it, Cerberis spoiling it...because of... reasons.

1.) Set FL to Nearby only - Even NON Friends show up now. (WTF MindArk !?!?!)
2.) Enter pvp (if really needed, use additional radar bug) ;) (dunno if it still works and how)
3.) Run around with FL open ! :D
4.) Suddenly a Name appears ? Drag its Health Bar !
5.) Click Healthbar, spot your victim ! No hiding possible ! (or run for your life! xD)

6.) Use "Select Target" + Macro Mouse @10-15ms clicking on it ! Never fire into the air again !

Today MA Official Lupus said "6.)" fixed. You can no longer use "Select Target" in pvp :

Then again support Ulf said the following today about "6.)" (not fixed):

Why has this not been fixed yet ? Why even introduce the "Near" feature ? What for ?
Because MA is not loosing any money and some pkers are happy to shoot more now...

And those poor miners who still do not know about it...seriously...wtf... :'(

 

ofc i reported it, like (hopefully) dozens of others fed up pkers/miners/explorers.

But it is an "old" feature by now...

 

Today MA Official Lupus said that "Select Target" doesnt work anymore/now in PVP as he has tested it himself.

He wasnt amused about the remove "Nearby" Feature.

Back in 2004 we had no scrambled radar and you only could see a green dot approaching on the radar.
If you had no visible contact, because of hills and trees, you never knew who might be approaching you.
Some noob ? Pronstar ? Now you just drag healthbars and tp toward the avatar...or tp far away. If you havent been shot already, that is. :p

Hiding and sneaking was indeed way more fun/action then this "nearby" Feature.

 

Read what I write. Or if you dont like that, feel free to google.

Just for you :

While Lupus said it is fixed, Support Ulf said the following today :

 

Even if that would be the solution (I could drag hp bars of red names at Ashi pvp), Ulf wasnt happy that I posted the "Select Target" in public and claimed they were working on it, as it was their fault, while Lupus said it is fixed already. Now that makes sense.

Why I liked to find out everything by myself back in the days, such a "feature" should have been well explained to everyone by 100% on introduction. I bet the majority of the casual Entropia gamer is NOT aware of this "feature".

The 1st spoiler was Cerberis on PCF, 3 weeks ago.
I got lured there by someone else 3 days ago, as I stopped reading there.
So this was indeed very new to me.

@OZtwo (I got told you posted some really intelligent stuff in here, which I must read...so I clicked "show ignored content"...just to find your usual trolling attempts)
The next time you stumble across something "new"...which is old to others...think about your "intelligent" phrase you posted here. :)
And no, I wont read your reply to this, so keep it short. ,-)

 

No need to go underground, when you are safe inside of the pump. ;)

Just dont stick an arm/leg/head out !
