Ambushing yourself, bug?


1|2

AuthorAmbushing yourself, bug?
wow.you are ambushing the way<-> where your multi is moving.that is how you caught him.this is bad.
Is it even allowed for the main and the multi to be logged in at the same time?
for plzdunhurtme: no stupid comments plz, keep to the topic
extrachars management attempt detected (general rules par. 3.8.1.). Any attempt on making a turn wasn't succesful as the connection was cut: Nocconnection with server! Trying to connect. Error sending command to server. Try again later.

This is very interesting! A system is working to prevent multi abuse. I think it is something new, otherwise I cannot understand why that doesn't work in previus (reported) cases.

It is not a bug, it helps you to prevent punishment for games rule violation. To avoid this, you simply have to travel on different roads from those where you placed the ambush with your main.
Consider yourself lucky that it just prevented you from playing. Next time it could be an auto-ban/fine.

since 2 month after it started (when i started to cheat) :p
Definately we are not able to choose the victim for our ambushes, so I didn't break the rules on purpose.

Sure you have broken the rules on purpose because you travelled the same path as your multi ambushed and you are at same level, dont try to tell anybody it is a coincidence. Players from one computer cannot enter same fight, even if it is an ambush. Multis are not intended to be same level as main nor to level up their thieves guild.
"3.8.1. Participation of several characters played from one computer in one combat is prohibited."

To quote the rule. If an ambush was an exception, it would be stated there. When you choose an unpopulated path like ridge of hope <-> East bay, there is a good chance to ambush yourself if you travel back and forth.
To prevent ambushing your multi just cancel the ambush while your multi is moving on this path.

That still leaves a staged combat involving your multi, so you best report yourself in C&A.
for Omega22: i really thinking of insulting one on comments like yours. Return to comment 4 and read it, it's for you!

no, although i have no proof of what i am saying, i happen to know that Magistrus is a great player that never cheated. Immortius is multichar for PvP mainly, while i don't see Magistrus in group battles too often. that's why they are the same level. i know many players that have multichars for PvP purpose, and that's ok by me. imo, it is a mistake that won't happen again.

i am just sorry, Immortius lost :P
It is not a bug, of course. It seems like a weak system that prevents multi-abuse.

This excuse is invalid. You know the rules, ambush is no exception. You are supposed to leave NO chance that you ever end up in the same battle as your multi. Your multi should avoid travelling the same route that your main is ambushing. And when main met multi, you still tried to 'break' the system by repeatedly logging into both characters to continue fighting?

It probably wasn't on purpose, but at best, you broke the rules due to ignorance.
To Korzika: thanks mate.
To Skuwak: the chance of ambushing myself is low i suppose, as I never cared about choosing the direction for my multi, and I never had ambushed myself before, so it's just stupid to try to ambush yourself on purpose, you will lose ages for that to happend again. And you too refer to comment 4.
To all: can you read what the topic is about and comment on it!!! If someone wants to discuss me cheating or not, create your own topic and do it at your please.
Once again. If you think explaining the rules is stupid than I have nothing else to talk about. Is it off topic? You were asking why this happened to you, I explained why. Its a system meant to prevent multi abuse, thats it.
But sure, it has been only once, could happened by an accident, just dont travel to your own ambushes, problem solved.
My question is, if the system detected multi-abuse, why didn't it just let Immortius go on through, instead of catching him.

I doubt he even realized he was ambushed the same path he was traveling.

About trying to reconnect with multi, he just didn't want to be AFK
Oh, and Omega22, if he broke them on purpose, do you think he would post it on the forum?

Sure, I dont really believe he did it to cheat, I just say it can be done and is being done by ..players.
