Abusing the game mechanics to destroy the game experience.

    • Abusing the game mechanics to destroy the game experience.

      Greetings.

      I have been leading Martlock players for more than 1 year through the discord server I have set up for Martlock, I offer them at least 5-6 content a day and I do my best for them to have a pleasant time. Martlock Discord

      But for the last two weeks we've been plagued by a group of players trying to ruin our gaming experience by misusing game mechanics.

      Before I share the videos with you, I would like to briefly summarize the problem.

      The mentioned group of players use the E skill of Bedrock or Great Arcane weapon on the clumps we created, especially in Bandit or Yellow Zone ZvZ events. Thus, they prevent us from killing enemy faction players and poison our game experience.

      In the meantime, I am waiting for support from the game authorities on this issue and I am requesting that this situation be resolved.

      I have two suggestions in this regard:

      The first is to punish those players who abuse the game mechanics and ruin the game experience of other players.
      The second is to disable the Bedrock and Great Arcane weapon's E skill against players under the crowd control effect. Thus, they will not be able to abuse the game mechanics even if they wanted to.

      Thanks for your attention.

    • Maybe stop insulting everyone that does not want to join your content and demand from other martlock content groups and discords to join your discord.
      Maybe dont instant ban everyone who disagree with but who knows im already blamed for just be in the map during bandit without even doing 1 bedrock or ga on ya but hey keep beeing a toix person like you always have been and others will do the same.

    • Morcstar, are you serious? Albion is a sandbox game and it is what the players make of it. If the players fight within a faction, then that's ok. It's part of the game. That's called a true sandbox and that's what Albion is all about.

      I'm very surprised that you're crying publicly here now and pointing fingers at other people because you can't seem to defend yourself any other way. Why don't you change factions and "take revenge" in game or do something else IN GAME against this?

      Now a few honest and open words about your content. I've been thinking about writing this for a while, but if you're going to point fingers like that, you have to be able to take criticism:
      I've run with you a few times, at the very beginning when you started calling, and initially thought you were doing a good job. Unfortunately, I was wrong. You constantly escalate in a, how shall I say, not quite youth-free way. After two or three times I could no longer tolerate your choleric manner and to these days I wonder why people still run with you at all. You scream, insult and to make matters worse, almost every time you are completely drunk and lose control of your words. Even worse, you post on your Discord, publicly available to teenagers, how much wine you drink every night and how great that is. I think that's very concerning. Sorry, but it just needs to be spoken about.

      And now this. I hope you take this to heart and work on yourself. Everyone deserves help, you just have to let them.

    • You get cheesed by bedrock trolls at the same time when you abuse miner boots and avoid all kinds of risks....

      you shouldn't be salty and mald about someone trolling you in a sandbox game when you use the same kind of cheesing.

      Just taste your own medicine..
      Do it for instance content only!

      Each tick of a DoT now puts the original caster into combat again (currently they only get into combat on the first application of the DoT)

    • You said You'll do the same to us, but You won't leave royale zones.
      You said it wont end well for us, You couldn't do anything, You are trying to cry to SBI.
      Being the most toxic player in the game and You are surprised that some people will give that treat back. Even I'm surprised that it's only some of us, instead of every second player from Martlock.
      And calling your discord Official... I'm pretty sure that more rule breaking than the weapon that SBI made for us.
      Not to mention the imaginary King role, and being the Martlock itself. :D :D

      He should have been muted for this months ago. Not permanently, but a 'warning mute' of a few days. Unless SBI endorsed his Discord Server as official.... which of course they have not.

      Is he the same Martlock leader who constantly says racists things in the Faction Chat and elsewhere?

      Thats mixedCanadian as far as i know of. Morc insults more on personal level and bans you the moment you criticise him. He never makes mistake and everyone else is at fault when sth bad happens.
      Oh and he likes to write "fuck xy" in faction chat a lot

      Got it.

      But yeah I am confused why SBI never muted him for the false claims of having the Official Discord for the Faction. Everyone knows that's BS.

      This is true, only if factions could self fight.. however only one faction can do that. So there is nothing martlock can do VS other martlock players doing that.

    • Guys, it's not about me here. For this reason, I will leave your false claims about me unanswered and will continue to do so.

      Still, I respect your opinion, but the way you express your opinions goes beyond just expressing an opinion and extends to the act of defaming a person or name and lying about that person. That's why I advise you to be careful about this, but at the end of the day, the choice is entirely yours. Everyone does what suits them, after all.

      Returning to the subject, the subject here is the deliberate misuse of game mechanics.

      Because, first of all, we should understand that all the weapons in the game are about neutralizing the opponent player or supporting the action of our teammates to destroy the opponent players.

      For example, Bedrock aims to prevent attacks by opposing team/faction players on friendly team/faction players.
      The purpose of the weapon is not to protect opposing team/faction players from attack by friendly team/faction players.

      The same goes for the Great Arcane weapon. Because I think the operation of the weapon has been changed for this reason and it has been made functional only on the opposing team/player.

      In the meantime, as we can observe in the videos I have shared before and the videos I will share now, some players are deliberately and consciously trying to save the opposing team/faction players from the attacks of the friendly team/faction players.

      Video: (First GA used by OducoDe at 0:04, then Bedrock comes on our clump from his guildmates and saves the enemy players) streamable.com/3lb0de

      And they do this on purpose, especially when our offensive tanks crowd control opposing players.

      In other words, they destroy friendly player/team/faction clumps in an intentional and organized way. And they've been doing this on a regular basis, almost every day, for the past 2 weeks, nonstop.

      This situation poisons the enjoyment of the game for us Martlock players, undermines our desire to play and causes us to have more stress than having fun in the game we play for fun; and the solution is not to change the factions of me or other players participating in our Bandit content.

      Even if we change it, the same malicious names or other names will come to that faction and continue to do the same, and this problem will remain unsolved.

      However, I'm trying to make this issue public and share it with the game authorities and find a solution to it, and that's exactly what I've done.
      And while I'm doing this, of course, I will point some players or names with my fingers. Because they are the ones who do this and I also report their actions.

      And I already have a solution to this problem.

      1. The first is to punish those players who abuse the game mechanics and ruin the game experience of other players.
      2. The second is to disable the Bedrock and Great Arcane weapon's E skill against players under the Crowd Control effect. Thus, they will not be able to abuse the game mechanics even if they wanted to.
      Thanks for taking your time to read. And please feel free to share your suggestions and solutions.

      So, to answer this Morc, sadly SBI won't punish trolls in the game because that's apart of the game and trolls are everywhere in every faction, when i mass i always have a GA or 2-3 GA that watch me and GA my engages, it can be in bandit and in Yellow zone, and for the case of bedrock maces then take another engage tank with you, since they know you, you can just make your party engage with another clump tank and they will get confused on who is the real clump tank, i know when you are 12 it's horrible to play with 2 clump tanks but sometimes sacrifice need to be made and for the case of your second point, then why have a great arcane or bedrock in the game ? it's not because they troll you with it that SBI will disable the bedrock and Great arcane weapon's E skill because it's still extremely used in ZvZs to watch bombsquads and stop engages, the only thing you can do is adapt to those trolls and stop giving them your position, spread in a map and just all regroup 2-3 maps away from ML, i know it's annoying but i do this too sometimes, not every day or every mass but i still do it sometimes (I'm thetford main caller btw)

      Of course You are trying to parry subject when it comes about You. If You wouldn't be that toxic and wouldn't have that greed for power, nobody would even care about You and there would be no crying in forum either.
      And why would anyone lie in a video game, we have recordings and screenshots about your toxicity.

      The problem is my friend Martlock has three exits that can go into the red zones; and they watch every exit and they follow us as soon as they see me or someone from my guild. Even if I somehow manage to dodge them, they somehow find us because there are at least 4-5 people.

      We tried every way.

      We also tried a second or third offensive tank event. But again, because there are more than one, they use the E skill of Bedrock Maces in clumps in turn, and they continue to save the enemy from our clumps.

      And in this case, it undermines the desire of dozens of players to play. And yet, it is impossible to adapt to it. Instead of trying to adapt, as I mentioned above, if the Bedrock or Great Arcane weapon's E skill is disabled on players under the influence of Crowd Control, the game becomes more playable and those who use game mechanics for malicious purposes will be helpless.

      Still, thank you for taking the time to share your opinion and comment.

      Good luck with your events!

    • Maybe you should stop making false claims about your Discord Server and people will take this claim serious.

      BTW, I am not involved in the tactic you are describing. Just a bystander here.

      Bedrock Mace is trash. Make the Faction Bosses immune to the E is probably the best solution. That would be what I suggest to fix this.
