News and Updates

A few days ago we made a couple of adjustments to the way attacks on fresh victims work. It became apparent that some players were logging in thousands of alts a day to game fresh victim achievements and farm free blood. This presented a risk that a) the achievements would become meaningless and b) metrics would be come worthless. As always we commend people on their creativity and motivation in getting these achievements, but we obviously have to take the measures we can in order to prevent cheating, gaming, and exploits.

The two changes we’ve made are as follows:

• Without Payment Info Used (not just “On File, but “Used”) in a profile, that player will be unable to gain metrics from attacks on fresh victims. All other attacks and achievements will continue to work fine for these players.
• While any player with Payment Info Used will be able to make as many attacks / achievement attacks a day as they like on Fresh Victims, they will get a max of 50 attacks worth of metrics for that day from fresh victim attacks. Normal attacks on non-fresh victims will works as normal.

Hopefully for most of you these changes will not affect you at all. We do realize that by preventing the extremely bad actors from being able to game the system, this will affect some who did not intend to harm the community. All we can say is that in order to protect the integrity of Achievements and the value of metrics in the system, we have to shut off avenues where exploitation is possible.
