  • (Quote) ...well, at the very least, I don't think the four mystery boxes actually do anything concrete other than being a sort of visual trick to make people feel like they have some say in the matter. To actually program it such that they "r…
  • If you tried all the steps in the Support Note, then you may need to file a ticket and submit your diangostic info (from the Tools section of the launcher). There really isn't enough information in what you said to suggest anything, nor enough info…
  • (Quote) I wonder if this started earlier than intended?
  • (Quote) VPN functionality is built right into Windows itself. Some of them use custom UIs to make it easier, but the core concept is an OS-level feature. If you take the "no third-party programs" line as literally as you are taking it, t…
  • (Quote) None of the actions taken have anything whatsoever to do with regular VPNs, and that isn't what they mean by "third-party programs." The actions taken were just in alignment with the EULA, which never changed in terms of what it …
  • (Quote) No, only if you're doing it to evade a ban. The official policy has always been that VPNs are fine unless people start using that VPN for illegal stuff, and then they may have to ban that endpoint. Edit: Support note source here.
  • (Quote) Right now, I can tell you that the council is quite diverse. Some people focus on hardmode content and raids, some focus more on PvP, some people focus more on in-game events and RP, and so on. Some live in North America, some live overse…
  • (Quote) I just never chose an avatar, as it was not a requirement to do. Partly because I didn't want that to change people's perception of what I say (which hasn't changed all that much from before the Council existed). This whole thread is blata…
  • (Quote) No but, it's not literally the banning (the 12 people), but... oh, never mind. It doesn't matter anyway, as you're arguing a parallel point. The point was never that those 12 people on their own were literally causing the lag, whether it'…
  • (Quote) Neither. But no one was ever claiming that the supposed "less lag" was literally because of less-than-twelve banned people not playing either. My response was because you were tearing down an argument no one had made, even if th…
  • (Quote) Well, that wouldn't be the actual argument if you were going to make the case. It would be that between a) these people being banned, and b) the fear of being banned discouraging people to use the tools they were associated with, and possi…
  • (Quote) Nah, it's been five per day per server since it was introduced years back. You may have noticed sometimes getting two sets on one day if you happened to be online at the moment it reset (midnight UTC / 5pm PDT)
  • (Quote) The problem on this specifically is that there's no clarification they are allowed to give, beyond the sort of vague allusions they've already said. Officially, all mods of any kind are forbidden. But, reading between the lines carefully,…
  • (Quote) I honestly think they really thought at first they'd be able to get it worked out, and at first some EME people who didn't know the full story thought it was a bug (since it was supposed to be there) until they were filled in on what had hap…
  • (Quote) Yes, I know what they said. That was the system they had in place and demoed on the stream (so it was fully working). And then, right before it was to be introduced on the live servers, they were told to pull it. The staff commented mult…
