Griping and complaining

[Brendan D. Winter]

Of course. If I used it for such thing, I do see the problem. Sad thing there is nothing Panther can do, as banning the damn item will do nothing. I mean, using banned item makes the person freeze, but how could he freeze if he's wearing the Warmer?

We should start a project to develop ways of dealing with hackers and other things... That's something higly needed here.

well the best solution is to ban it and have the server auto kick the people who have the item. Or make it so they cant leave spawn or shoot projectiles at all.

[Brendan D. Winter]

That's a good idea. Indeed, a good idea. Panther should see this.

Waaait... I didn't intend for this thread to convince Panther to ban the Hand Warmer, though you are pretty convincing and I don't care about the item one way or another, because I won't equip them, ever.

What I want is for the projectile cap to be raised to the point that Vampire Knives and Nettle Burst don't become totally f#&ing useless, but projectile spammers don't run amuck.

I'm pretty sure the freezing effect is a default TShock feature. We can't exactly get rid of it. As for the lag, most of it was probably purely on your own end. Whenever I'm on the server, there is almost never any lag at all, only during rare occasions. I don't even get lag when we have large scale invasions, such as the Frost Moon. Its either your internet connection or your computer, possibly both. Also, when you mentioned that today was especially laggy for you, that could have been caused by a number of reasons. For one, somebody in your place of residence could be using the internet and bogging it down. Two, it could be an issue your ISP is having, such as maintenance or an overload of sorts. Three, depending on the way your internet reaches you, it could be the weather. Now, I'm not saying that it wasn't the server, but the server isn't laggy that often.

Also, regarding the Hand Warmer; Only a handful of people actually have one on the server, and you can't get it now without hacked clients or finding that rare seller. Most of the people who actually have one legitimately have been here since December of last year. Chances are, said person wouldn't be willing to part with it due to the usefulness of the item, and server-wide-rarity. If Panther had an auto-kick in place for anybody who had a Hand Warmer legitimately, and had it on them.. Then that wouldn't be a very good idea, now would it?

I agree with zilophos, I have not been here since December, maybe the beginning of February and my computer is... how do I put this nicely, #$@%ing laggy on my computer, but a few days ago I played on the computers in my college's computer lab, and it was laggless, I am not saying the server is not laggy EVER, but it usually depends on your computer, distance from the mortem, compatibility of the mortem, and how old the mortem is, also I have a complaint of banning philosophers stones, unless of course if you use them with a charm of myths it completely depletes your cooldown time, but they have been using a philosophers stone too completely deplenish the cooldown time for healing potions so I am PvPing some hacker and he has like 1 life left and then uses 3 or 4 health potions... IN A ROW!!! so basically I am asking you too ban philosophers stones, not too kick but just too not let them equip it... Please... I have lost maybe 100k ss too those hackers, and well, I am getting #$@%ing annoyed. so please take my ideas into consideration
