Hello,

 

We appreciate the feedback and contributions made toward enhancing the gaming experience on the server. The issue in question is well recognized and has been the subject of multiple discussions aimed at identifying an effective resolution. However, it is not a matter that can be addressed immediately. Implementing punitive measures against individuals for using a virtual machine is not the preferred course of action, as there are legitimate reasons for its use. The primary focus remains on prevention, which necessitates careful consideration and time to establish a robust solution. It is important to emphasize that concerns are acknowledged and taken seriously, and they are not being disregarded.

 

Best Regards,

Support Team

Why is VM allowed after all? What’s the point? Can someone explain it to me?

Just to clarify, VM use is not really allowed freely.

 

As per the The Wartale Rulebook, especially item 11 on Rules of Conduct - Game.

 

 

Also, as per Senpai's posts in this 2022 forum thread.

 

Which, if I'm not mistaken, was followed by updates that "blocked" some VM usage, except with permission, as the updated game rules.

Apparently, there are new technologies/forms of "virtual machine" that is currently not being blocked the same way and might be used by some people today.

 

Spoiler

 

This is a sensitive topic.

I mostly use 3 computers to play the game, sometimes 1 or 2 pcs just have stores open and I only play on a single pc. If I feel like doing a little extra effort I will go to HG or some bosses with 2 pcs to have double the chances, but I get easily annoyed by having to use 2 keyboard/mouse at the same time, so I don't really bother most of the time.

 

But, trying to control more than 2 computers with separate mouses/keyboards is a nightmare. I can easily do a bee cave dungeon controlling 6 accounts on the same pc, though. So I guess if people manage to achieve the same or similar type of control that you can with just alt+tab between games when having 6 screens open in a single monitor and still roll on bosses/HG, it could be considered an unfair advantage to people that can't.

 

Now, this is where things get complicated.

I have 3 computers to play the game, do I have an unfair advantage on people that only have 1 pc? Is the server suppose to control how many computers you are allowed to have as well? Or the configuration of your computer if you have more fps than other people?

 

Like Support said, some people have different uses for VMs, and not everyone uses Windows daily. Some people have Mac or Linux systems and just want to be able to play the game in those machines without having to buy a new dedicated computer for that.

 

I feel like some of the actions of the staff have limited the use of such systems, but some people just find different ways of making it work for them.

To be fair, my 14x characters sometimes don't even roll when I'm constantly hitting and actively playing/potting in some bosses, so if people somehow manage to control 6 characters, play full vit and still roll, congrats to them lol

 

I guess what I'm saying is, as long as these people are actually going through all this effort to move and control 6 accounts manually, and this is something that other players can also have access to (like everyone having the ability to buy multiple computers if they can afford and want to), I don't think this is that illegal/bad.

 

Now, that being said, if you tell me that every boss can (and maybe will) be multiple people with 6+ accounts, semi-afk, shift-clicked with full vit just to have extra chances for drops so they can sell, and sometimes not even to use and improve in the game through the in-game market (let's not pretend black market is not a thing), I don't think this is a good or the intended design of the game and it should really be changed.

"as there are legitimate reasons for its use."

Are u kidding me?!

 

Playing 6 or more accounts to get boss item drops!?!?!?!

It makes no sense to play with 1 account if people can play with more than 2/3/4/5/6

The use of virtual machine must be prohibited.

Take the case i sent, see how many relics the accounts dropped in a shot period of time
