AMA Kronos Staff

Grizzly is telling people they are rerolling kronos. Please tell me you guys will stop it. With the duping and exploiting they have ruined every server they have joined. Please just don't even let them get started here.
 
Is someone, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE PRIVATE SERVERS' SCENE, going to take care of pets attack speeds?

take 1 hour of your time to replicate blizzlike values. For god's sake, if i see defaut mangos attack speeds once more, i'm gonna vomit

Pro-tip: it would take far less than an hour of your time to login to beta and check for yourself or do a quick search in the bugtracker. It's fixed. https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issue=2552
 
On Nostalrius, the health of mobs is shown in percentages. Will it be the case here? It was really annoying.

Furthermore. As I know, DCs and rollbacks cannot be avoided completly. Do you think the server is more stable than on Nostalrius?. Assuming we (hopefully) will have a lower population.

Are you going to be strict against players spamming channels with racistic and homophofic language? It's not the case on some private servers.

In vanilla, there was no option to see enemy health without %. Although there are mods that can let you see enemy health, like 'MobHealth (mobinfo)'.

I would also like to know the policy you wish to enforce on world chat and to what extent.

Nos mod team has stated that they will not touch world chat. I find this extremely lax. World chat should especially be moderated and anyone who wishes to spread hate and disgusting language targeted at any demographic should see harsh punishment...or at least a mute/ban on the channel.

I realise I could just /ignore. But that isn't the issue, people should not be allow to spread that kind of attitude or hate on a friendly server.
 
If Kronos population will exceed lets say 3k maybe 4k, is Twinstar willing to open a second vanilla realm to deal with overcrowding ? Or it will try to keep 5k players on the same server?

Flame, flood, racism etc. in the chat are handled by the general TwinStar rules, which also apply to Kronos (HERE and HERE). I think it is going to work the same as on other TwinStar's realms: there will be GMs in-game watching the channel, plus if there is somebody behaving contrary to the rules, you can take a screenshot and report him using the Blacklist here on the forum.

ps. can mods clean this thread up? it went from good info to people posting like it was any other thread
I hope to do it today or tomorrow before the launch.
 
OK guys, I have deleted a ridiculous amount of posts here (22 pages?). I have removed answered questions, useless posts, spam, any discussion etc. The only things that have been left here are the answers and the questions that have not been answered yet.

I want to remind you that this is not a discussion thread! The ideal scenario is that there is a question and then there is an answer from a team member or from somebody who is sure about the answer. Nothing more. We are of course glad to discuss your ideas, opinions etc., but not in this thread.

Questions, answers, questions, answers. Thank you for your understanding. :smile:

If you can disclose, have certain IPs been blocked from the Kronos website? I can no longer access Kronos' website or the twinstar forums without use of a proxy.
 
Is the countdown timer on the home page incorrect? It currently says 12 hours until release, but if it is being released at 5 pm CET, that would make it 13 hours from now.

Edit: Also, I just noticed the minutes are off as well. It is currently XX:16 right now, but the timer says 19 more minutes until the next hour. That would mean the server is releasing at XX:35, instead of directly on the hour.

Edit 2: Also also, the timer above the forums is wrong. It's 8 hours behind.

Yes, it's off, the timer does not take timezones into account. It has been reported, but apparently nobody cares :huh:

Try this one: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20150328T17&p0=204&msg=Kronos+start


I have a question. I searched all 13 pages as well, and I don't think this one was asked or answered.

On the List of Violations page http://forum.twinstar.cz/showthread.php/67441-List-of-violations-Last-update-1-March-2015
there is a rule against abusing LOS to kill players or NPC's.

"Abusing Pathfinding and Line of Sight bugs
- It is forbidden to abuse any Pathfinding or Line of Sight bugs in order to kill a player, boss or whatever else. For example, a player shall not kill an NPC in a way that would prevent it from getting to the attacker and reacting properly. This rule applies to all in-game areas (world, BGs etc.). Players shall report every bug they find into the bugreport and never abuse this bug again."

In 2005 a Blizzard Rep named Caydiem stated that rooftop camping in certain areas (Booty Bay and Gadgetzan as examples) was no longer tolerated by the staff, and action would be taken against players.

http://blue.cardplace.com/cache/wow-general/2336291.htm

Eyonix, another Blizzard rep, affirmed this ruling in 2006, several months before Burning Crusade was launched.

Would it be safe to assume that this sort of tactic used by players to ensure PvP kills in similar situations would have consequences, if reported with evidence?

Yes it will have consequences. If you didn't notice, there is a section of the forum called Blacklist, where you can report abusers and it has a form to fill for each report http://forum.twinstar.cz/forumdisplay.php/507-Blacklist-(Kronos)
 
Hello dear Kronos Staff,

i am a new Player to the Private Server concept. Like many others i am totally disappointed with the current WoW (in all terms) and kinda nostalgic towards Classic. I think i played with the idea for playing on a private vanilla server around 4-5 times, but never really started because of the negative image an server like that has towards the public.

Now i have made an account, downloaded the game und am really exited to play it! i even plan to donate, if the server comes up to my expectations.

But what i am really afraid of are hacks, p2w, and the other "nightmares", ones hear of from other servers, Youtube and other media. I red the "Information"-Section on the Kronos side, but i just wanted to here from you, what's your attitude to the above mentioned "fears" of mine and what we can expect in the future?

My main point is: I am willing to play and pay (if it meet my expectations) a lot, but only if i play in a "non"-p2w or "pay to get game related advantages" environment with equal chance for everyone.

I think a lot of new player struggle to start to play because of the sometime massive negative feedback (from other server) and the trolls from other media and it would be nice to hear a official feedback, aside the "one sentence" answer :)
 
My point of view is that none of the abovementioned "threats" can affect you, and most of the time you won't even notice them. The anticheat system in place detects basically any detectable hack presently available, and any bug which would be discovered being abused can and will be punished appropriately.

Since there is no 100% guarantee that everything wil work flawlessly, it comes with the great counterweight that you don't have to spend a penny to play.
 
Will we see more pre-60 dungeon development anytime soon? Specifically BRD still has quite a few issues in the bugtracker.

Dungeons reward blues and epics, and broken areas of dungeons may allow people to access these items fairly easily.
 
Dear devs,
I love you and thank for all your great job. But I wanna ask about the particular "bug type".

Why things like https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issue=4744 and https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issue=5147 are happening? Well, I can understand if Onyxia's threat system was "wrongly overwritten" by some global threat changes like that in the old showcase. But how the escort quest might get broken..?

I mean - I know that this is general p-servers rule: something is fixed => something is broken. But... I thought the escort quest is just a separate script...

How're K2 players impressions generally? Sometimes I... sense in the people's tone that unexpectedly a lot of things became worse since May 2014. But I'm quite sure that such a "disappointments" are rare :)
 
Well ... it's been a couple of days since the first calculation of ranks and it seems that I have been overlooked somehow. I've inspected a number of ranked players and have noticed that I had more honour and a better standing than many of them yet I have yet to receive a rank (still Rank 0).

I submitted a ticket in-game regarding my situation and received a reply telling me that there is a problem with the PvP ranking system and that the devs are working on it. This is great news as I'm sure that I'm not the only one with this problem. I can't seem to find anything about it in the bug tracker though and this makes me wonder about the current status.

I would also like to know how you plan to proceed once a fix is in place. Will the ranks be recalculated from day one or have I lost my rank for the first week?
 
Donation Mounts Question

Hello,

I have an undead character. Am I able to use any of the mounts offered by donation points or only faction/race specific? Example: Can my undead character use a sabre (night elf specific) and/or raptor (troll specific) mount?

Thank you in advance.

Will Kronos hire mature GMS to deal with complex issues that current GMS are unable to?

It is hard to find good GMs. It is even harder to find a playerbase who sticks to a servers rules.
So far we are pretty happy with the work of our GMs. With minor problems of course, but thats just natural.
 
Wow, filvorja is back! Downgraded a bit, but still nice and helpful! Good to see ya :)

First of all, I wanted to ask about this thread. Is it gonna be revived at last?! But that's a rhetorical question, my real question for AMA is below.

It's GM-related as well. Are GMs able/have rights to help players with "too-despawning" objects? I mean, something like https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issue=6041 or https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issue=4957, when the group do something and some group members don't get what they deserve.

If they solve such a problems - do they need some additional proofs, or they all have necessary logs, or witness is enough?
 
You can display all availible commands by .commands (or .coomand ?). The one for xp is .experience on/off
