Bye Bye Bifrost

[Donkeyd1ck]

I wonder how long will they take till they restore it back again. Any bets?[/b]

Proooobably not next maintenance. The cycle it has to go through is this:
1: We determine that there's a problem
2: We devise a solution
3: We present problem/solution to Mgame
4: We work with Mgame to refine the solution
5: Mgame plans how to implement the solution
6: Mgame designs the solution
7: Mgame tests the solution on their end
8: Mgame sends us the solution
9: We test the solution
10: It goes live.

I'd say we're probably on step 6 or 7 right now (which, despite the fact that this process is divided into 10 equal steps, probably accounts for 80-85% of the production time. The remaining 3 to 4 steps account for the remaining 15-20% of the time). If I turn out to be wrong, however, and this ends up getting blown apart in testing then it will take longer. This is why me actually talking to you about this process is generally counterintuitive, and considered a bad idea, as any number of things could go wrong and need to be redesigned until a final workable solution is arrived at, but I wanted to give you some idea of why it takes so much time.[/b]

the bifrost's items will be deleted too ? that was similar one on forgoten temple[/b]

dont think they will remove.. they might. but if they do alot of people will be hurting if they bought lugi7,8 ava 7,8 so on ;((([/b]

Happened once before.

there was alredy BF wipe like 1 year ago (i dont remember now), but in those day`s there was 17825917859785 +3 shio/imir/flame rings cuz whole pakages of frags was duped( like 5-10 k each time).
But if they do wipe bnow, cuz some fuking chine koxpers killing ultima that will be TOTALY stupid, and i will be one of frist person that will quit from the game.[/b]

+3's is nothing now, bet there's a good amount of +4/5 on Ares now, but whether it's enough to justify a bifrost wipe, only K2 knows.

aq'ed

i hope they dont remove the eslant event coz the ninja looters :P

[Helseth]

wouldnt it be easier to remove ultima for some time?

[KrepiN]

think is best way is to make ultima die when it goes out of its zone just like cz bosses

[Boyce]

Kinda sucks , greeds was a lot of fun
However im glad they are tackling this problem, it really is fuckin the market. Hopefully they get on to isi/fela koxpers too.

[str8]

we all know what that means.[/b]

lol yea, in beramus when there was gem duping, they "temporarily removed" bifrost for about 8 monthes....

[min0r]

the Bifrost is a necessity at this stage of the game , waaaaaaaaaa!!

Or just make it like the Messengers and once it goes beyond a certain point, it spawns back in the center because the koxpers are not killing it in ultima's little area, its being lured away to somewhere else on the map out of site from anyone.
