What are your thoughts on the new server rewrite?

[asamortal]

AQW is currently undergoing a massive server rewrite right now.
The entire Right side of the server select screen is being used for testing.

If you wanna get that free bank pet now's your chance.
More info here.

Can't wait to get my accounts banned from the "better botting protection"
Really cba to play legit, but would be hilarious to see thousands of players get banned off of the artix server.

If that happens, then Artix would have less than 600 players sonce almost everyone (not all) have botted.

The era of botting is stopped then AQW's profit is lessened.

You can still bot in artix server

Everyone can, doubt this re-write is anything that useful to detect keystrokes that can even be considered botting.
SPEAKING OF BAD COMBAT REWRITES... I saw a couple things added, a "% parry" and a potential static 0.1% HoT during battles.
Can only speak for the parry, it negates a small % of damage as if it was evaded or whatever they're doing.

"better anti-bot and reporting functionality and more"
"like the better botting detection"
Sounds vague and unconfident. The most that will happen is a redesign of the typical bot's combat system (which won't be hard for coders like 133Spider, JamesRo, DV, etc).

[Dionaea]

Yeah, not at all seeing how they'll be able to prevent botters better considering that it's not nearly that simple.
I read it more as "better bot reporting", which doesn't mean anything seeing as how they barely do anything with the perfectly functional system right now.

That being said, everybody should use the test servers' auto-100% drop rates to grab every single low drop rate item they want.
Unfortunately, it seems like you're not able to overstack, so no 100 vouchers for me ;-;

Going to go get that damn Uni 35, though


Edit: List of things you might want to use the test server for:
Uni 35
Blade of Chaos from Ultra Drakath
BoA Runes
Scarlet Sorceress (maybe)

[asamortal]

There's an auto 100% drop on the test servers right now?
Dayum I gotta get sum o that action.

Nah just killed paragon of light in nyhtera server he didnt drop shining calaborg and no i dont have it already in inv/bank

[Dionaea]

I was on Safiria about an hour ago.
Looks like a ton of people got kicked off the server, so maybe they patched it.

Can't even get on Safiria right now.

I was having that problem before but now i'm just botting on left side.

I found out that you can dmg Escherion without having to kill his pet staff.
And he drops everything from his drop table all at once.

AND I KEEP GETTING 100% CRIT RATE.
But the dmg output is like using a static weapon.

Edit:
The rep boosts are gone but the class rep is always static.

Edit 2:
You can join tercessuinotlim without going to the bone room in citadel.
Neat.

Meh, they're probably bluffing.

That's what they've been doing since 2008, after so much practice, they're pretty good at it
