So only two have ever been an issue at the end of the day, Astralworks and Xxael, since they couldn’t seem to follow vetexs, galagas, techlevel80s, or headless’s example of only using them for self defense and not jumping into attacks claiming you were being attacked.
So like, once the combat toggle is added, there’s no need for them. Just toggle off combat and they’ll be put into pve servers. If you don’t want to be attacked in pvp servers then don’t go in them, simple. And maybe don’t be in one of the highest lb clans then complain about getting hunted. Either they should all be removed, or just Astrals and Xxaels since they’re the only two who don’t know how to control them.
Also I swear on every fiber of my being, nobody was hunting astralworks bro is literally just known for ugcs and custom magic abuse I am literally signing a contract with the devil and my mortal soul will be eternally damned if I am wrong.
Yes, they should lose them. However, there’s one issue that they seem to care a lot about - their clan. Ravencrest, being the second most powerful clan leaderboard wise and one of the most well known, is not something one can just leave. You will not be able to (and shouldn’t be able to) toggle PvP if you’re in a clan, especially a LB clan. While an obvious answer would be “have them leave it”, they’ve been building it for years.
While a solution does exist for this, I’m sure they wouldn’t be happy to hear it. Transfer ownership to a holder account. Make an alt, let it in the clan, give it ownership. Boom, now you maintain control while also not being threatened by ganks! No more need for your custom magics. As for Xxael? Just leave. You can maintain ties with the clan, stick around in the discord and play similarly. You just won’t be able to do clan activities on a file where you have a custom magic.
Everyone’s happy. Well, maybe not Astralworks or Xxael given they’re the only ones taking a loss. However, this change ultimately works in the benefit of everyone else. Plus, if they would like to remain involved in clan conflicts, they can have a file without any inaccessible magics in the clan. No customs or losts, just plain old base magics.
The “harassment” excuse is a cover up anyways, plenty of players get harassed, but we don’t give them customs, why? Because you can simply ban the offenders. But instead of doing that, they made a crybaby story to justify using customs to have an advantage on a pvp scene.
Potential solutions:
1: Remove custom magics (very unlikely lol)
2: Give custom magics an anti-infamy gain status effect so their usage in clan wars will be counterproductive.
3: Transfer clan to another file that doesn’t have customs so they can still participate in clan activities, just only as a normal player, no black hole magic.
4: Give the custom holders the ability to turn off PvP in spite of being in a clan, they’ll have absolutely no excuse from there.
Mfs used to praise vetex for having aether lightning back in Arcane Adventures but now its seen as a instant sentence to death without parole.
Yeah seeing them use it in pvp or war situations is kinda exploiting their power abit but they were given these powers as a form of thanks from vetex for being apart of their development team.
Lets say we all get cataclysm what then? Is it balanced? Nope
Anyway moral of the story: Don’t try and poke the literal custom magic wielding god since they also fight back
It’s been explicitly stated several times and it’s even on every single custom magic page, they’re given solely to protect from ganking.
They are not allowed to use them unless it’s self defense, and did you miss the part where I literally told you they do shit like jump in front of attacks to claim they’re being it? And there’s several clips for proof you can just look them up at this point.
Also wouldn’t say it’s exploiting their powers a “bit”, not only are they in a leaderboard clan, but it’s one of the highest on the leaderboard and they use their custom magics on several occasions to get there, either for hunting or for claiming navy bases.
I’d like evidence before i believe that
Editor’s note: I have already watched alot of evidence videos and not once i’ve seen them jump infront of someone to claim they got attacked first.
Do any of you remember that time Xael got shit for abusing cataclysm cannons? And then they gaslit everyone by saying “well they’re just like dragonfire cannons!!!” And everyone forgot? i never forgot. Wasn’t surprised in the slightest that these 2 are abusing also astralworks has said some pretty heinous shit so yeah… not really thr greatest people to be around icl they both seem extremely full of themselves and toxic
