BTW, its already proven that rules are only thought up but not followed, unless it is convenient.

Yep, same as the patchnotes, last notes can only be found on discord while this is the forum where they should be posted. I dont really like it to find out i need to update DU while nothing is posted here on Patch notes, probably if we really want a response on the market issue we need to overflow discord, twitter or fb but not the official forum. We are being too nice.

Whatever the reason behind this is, Or the reason behind not fixing it. It is just bad if you make rules and uphold them to everyone but a select few.

your the best

Sorry cannot help, As a backer i do not have to resub Yet.

Nope, on an economical civilization building noting this is a large thing that cannot be corrected ever again. If the roman empire had gotten a gold injection of their totall net worth times 100 we would probably all speak latin now. If the Germans had an overal industrial boost of times 100 we would all speak german now, or russian. it was not the icecream maker that got a free shop to sell more ice. And since there is talk here it should have been tested on a test server before, we do not know if this was tested on the ATV server before. Thee is no transparency on matters and that leads to speculation and distrust. If they really do not want to roll back the most simple solution is to adjust all prices to the 100 factor from today onwards and if possible compensate people who bought schematics between the event and now. Why not just make all prices as they were during the incident and be done with it? Should be a 20minute thing tops

To answer your question: just answer me then: what is NQ stand on cheaters, what is their defenition of one and do they act according to their policy? If using information gotten in ATV to profit in the real server is not classified as cheating then NQ should do nothing, If it was told previous to ATV players there would be consequenses, they should act. But then why only throw critical people from ATV and not the people who use gotten information for personal gain? Only reason i can think of is that it is stated in the agreement that you may use the info but are not allowed to be critical or disclose issues. I have been in alot of closed alphas but never have i seen one that still was active during beta with only a very small select group. normally there would be a test server where everyone interested Could test new things and a full disclosure on test server patchnotes was given, Or testing was done completely by the company itself and payed testers. In Dutch we would call this contraption Binding the Cat to the bacon.

ignorance is bliss, we see that in the response to this issue. Assumptions are the mother of all fuck-ups and i do believe nobody here thinks every ATV member does it, But it should not be possible at all. Between every group of rightious players are a few rotten apples, and even some applepies. the point here is that if information is used for gains the NQ rule-set should be set in action and that does not happen. The only people i know that have been kicked from ATV all were critical to NQ or their data/account/database/login systems. I have not heared once about a kick due to missuse of information.

The rules Just went out the window, Since they do not act now any next incursion on rules they do act on is simply seen as favourism.

From the NQ post on why we nead a anti-cheat system: In short, If you make Rules, Act on Them, or do not bother to make them at all What is authorized or forbidden Modifying the game files is forbidden, (except for the "Game/data/lua" folder (this is the only location where you can add or modify files). Modifying the game cache is forbidden (by default it is located in the directory C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\NQ\DualUniverse\) ; Reading or modifying the game memory is forbidden. Disabling, modifying, or attempting to evade the anti-cheat in any way is forbidden. Playing at the same time with two or more accounts is authorized, but please note, that any form of automating multiple accounts is forbidden Helping someone, or driving someone, to do forbidden actions is obviously forbidden too. Discovering or knowing an issue, bug, or exploit and benefiting from it instead of reporting it to Novaquark is forbidden. Sharing accounts between different people is forbidden. Any action performed on your account is the responsibility of its owner. The Customer Support team won’t be able to help regarding any issues happening due to account sharing. The owner is responsible for any action made with the account. Trying to degrade the game performances of other players for any reason is forbidden. Creating new Lua files for debugging purposes is authorized as long as these are new files imported from in game scripts. In this case, you should put the files in the Game\data\lua\ folder to be able to import them. Using macro programs (like AutoHotKey) or similar hardware tools is authorized as long as you don’t automate gameplay. We consider gameplay as automated (and, thus, forbidden) when the macro or script: - Takes decisions based on game feedback - Executes actions for more than a few seconds - Executes without any user input or when not actively playing the game. For example, using a macro to keep a button pushed instead of maintaining it is authorized. But using a macro to send a message every hour is forbidden, especially if you are not even in front of your screen. What happens to cheaters ? Our policy is to not issue automatic bans. There is always a human review when the anti-cheat system detects any unauthorized behaviour. Nonetheless, you may temporarily be kicked out of the game if the anti-cheat cannot initialize correctly. Sanctions include (at the discretion of the Novaquark team): - Removing access to the game, temporarily or permanently (aka ban), - In case of recurring offenses, the player may get a hardware ban (in this case, the player won’t be able to play the game with any current or future account, even if those accounts were never used for cheating). - Plus any action required to revert any change made to the game world (removing Quantas or items, restoring constructs state, etc.). - This list is not exhaustive and may be updated by Novaquark as the team sees fit.

You know that this is just the same as saying, indeed you are right? "Barely ever happened" is the exact same as "It happens just not so much" Dont want to go into the "Barely 18" Thank you for the confirmation that data/information from the ATV is used in actual Beta to profit.

Add research for schematics and loose NPC for that too, no bots whatsoever, nothing that can be manipulated Again

Yep and exactly therefor it is kinda unforgiving to let this go by with a simple, we do nothing. If a select few made indeed 200Billion Quanta over this per individual, Then with nothing done we can really just stop playing or pretending this is fair. Simply, there is no way in DU to make up for this and as in normal life the rich will become richer and the poor will stay poor. Its not just a small handout, Hell if i get 200 Billion today in DU i cannot only build what i like i can Own the place. just needs some strategic deployments and some good market buyings. And do nothing radical, just let the cash grow and start owning stuff and Territories. This indeed does not kill the market, it kills the foundation of DU. Build civilization just became Own civilization

Please just add it to the know issues. Due to this issue which i told support about on day 1 I have been broke since day 1, I got a reaction that they know about it and are working on it, But i still dont get anything and it is not on the known issue list.

Frankly, when they promoted the game with Build large, Spacestations as large as the moon, play alone or with others, Freedom rich PvP Player driven Market, build civilization! I did not think it would turn up like this. What we got was something totally different: Build on large cores what is very small, spacestations very small and large is possible by placing more cores that you cannot link or merge with eachother so you have a borgcluster and not a station, Do not play alone or we will Find you and limit you and also we give out gifts to large organizations but dont tell, Freedom within limitations and boundaries, Plaer driven to NPC markets, rich through exploids not PvP, build puzzles not civilazation. @NQ-AdminI (probably we, if i know the others who are critical as well as i think) still love the original concept and do think NQ has some really great developers but the strategical desicions made do the project more harm then good and when you look at what it Can be verses what it is going to be, the road we are walking now leads to a limited vanila modless SE server with Clanginized PvP and defect B&R and only lvl1 handdrilling allowed with extra restrictions on production blocks and progression steps cost an exponential factor per level. I already have SE with less restrictions, why would i need one with more? Please live up to your potential! Do not linger in satisfaction for dreams half progressed, Be what you Can be, Live Life Die another day, Roll Back instead of growing molds, Be Brave and go there where No Company has gone before! Reach out to the community because We did hear you, we did read your posts and we do see the strugle that is there. We Do want to support, But Damn you make it so hard for us to actually do so. Critizism and comments are easier given to those/things you carry close to the heart as you want them/it to flourish. You do not punish your kids because you hate them, you try to teach them ways to be glorious adults. Dont see our comments and critizism in any other way, We love your game, we love your work. But the direction this leads to we have seen fail before and we want to keep this glorious project from going into That route.

Ignorence is bliss, I dont see firefighters anywhere to be honest

Yeb all true but my daily quanta is set to: 000000000 Maybe i criticize too much here

I would not bet my money on you being wrong indeed. Past time since begining of Beta there have been somany fishy errors and by wonder always it seems to profit the same groups. It kinda started already with the first ban waves where some were miraculously Not banned while others were, there even was made a new form of non-banned-but-time-off for some players that did not even exist in the whole DU rule book.

Indeed thats why the stuff is already being sold for 150 dollars...... Luckely this is not gamebreaking and Goldsellers are hunted down daily and banned, oh error, thats in FF14, not here. Please go take care of Goldsellers as fast as you can, in general they are a menace to the community in Any MMO

Option 2: They approve the existence of gold sellers

Please tell me more how to actually do this, i am playing since day 1 beta and i am hearing this for months now, I tried to do this from scratch even with no daily quanta as i am bugged. And Guess what, attempt 1 to 7, Fail. It is not possible to do this. The only thing you Can do is put a STU up, mine the living shit out of you, sell it to a market, buy stuff, try to build something and see that the stuff you bought and the lack of talents, as you put all in mining and cargo, made it so you cannot even escape the planet. So I guess this "a couple of sessions to mine you silly is about a month fullscale mining. Something is definitely wrong in this aspect of the game, the whole road to space should be manageable without the daily quanta. Especially since there are people who do not get it and are ignored a solution. But I just took on designer jobs and already designed a few offices, a city, few ships, bridges, hovers, almost everything that goes. Andit is alot more fun then just mindless mining. Maybe the best advice would be, If you cant do the grind, another profession you must find.

So I guess still not a single word from NQ on our comments? And this error is still ingame profiting some regulars and disadvantaging the rest while so many players complained about it? I wished i had my daily quanta but that bug is still not resolved, else i might have a reason At all to log in..... Next step, reducing primary container range. After that the weapon range gets nerfed to realistic ranges so we get more wanted dogfights.

Nobody, maybe one of the complaining people but surely Not the people who did this.

Indeed, and nobody will pay for playing Beta, and all players frustrated now will also stop playing beta, leaving only the few who always get the frackup news about 1 hr prior to it happening in their mailbox so they can get their ships ready to exploit.

NQ Please sent us a "we hear you" Topic on this!!! Incent to play at all has seemingly declined by alot of people due to this issue
