Shapeshifting not allowed anymore in raids?

It seems that when ever i crash on many shifters i have it seems to come down on my buffs. If I have all my buffs up i never crash the server, but when i have few buffs up {from getting dispelled or low lvl shifter} The server crashes. Maybe that helps.

Can NS4's be simplified? At least until the offending code is identified?
How many lines of script are we talking about anyways?

serisouly though, i know that this is being looked into because i did a bit of helping to identifiy the problem a short while back. however to think that someone would make/play a shifter for the sole purpose of crashing the server is very bothersome.

Agreed,

Our use of the Dragon use was to combat a HiPSer that we had been defending against for over 30-45min as part of the -Slaves- attacking team...we had finally had enough and were trying to counter their team with the proper builds..not as a let's crash the server tactic ... just to clarify our intent.

Shifters can raid, I believe there was some confusion today so I'd like to clarify that.

However if we have a suspicion that a shifter could be trying to cause crashes there will be consequences. Also I have witnessed many shifter deaths recently that have not caused crashes so hopefully this holds true for a long while.

Thank you for your understanding!

lol, this hole shifter thing was way over complicated.

all that was needed was a post saying..

"if you intentionaly crash the server you will be banned."

thats all, nothing more nothing less. all that over shout stuff just caused confusion. maybe for future rulings the staff should have some kind of meeting to come to an agreement before one dm or another goes on shout and threatens to banned all shifters if they die. i mean come on.

i deleted 3 shifters all in their 30's mostly because of this hole debacle. i both didnt want to crash the server and was worried that i would be banned if it accidently happend.

i am just trying to hammer home the true power that every single staff member has on players. confusion is not a good thing to have.
