xContex Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Even once the latest bolster bug is fixed, how are we going to determine that screenshots submitted after the fix weren't taken before the fix? Time stamp type deal on the upload page? Time stamps on chat log? Cross reference the warzone? Trust people to not be male genitalia? This exactly. I will ask for all players to activate time stamps on their chat log if they want to submit records to validate the date it was taken.

xContex Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 that only gives the time, not the date? Ya I just found that out >.<. We have a few options here A) We can trust people B) I can request for parses attached to each submission to validate it C) None of the above!

We have a few options here A) We can trust people B) I can request for parses attached to each submission to validate it C) None of the above! [suggest your own suggestion] Parses can easily be falsified by anyone with a plain text editor, e.g., anyone. I think we should just ditch the concept altogether. No sense providing a catalyst for more drama. You'd think that trusting people'd be the way to go, especially given the 'just for fun' nature of the thread, but the reality is that this forum is enough of a tinderbox as it is. Cheers for the time you've spent on its maintenance, but I think we should take the humane route and just put the dog down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikon Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Ya I just found that out >.<. We have a few options here A) We can trust people B) I can request for parses attached to each submission to validate it C) None of the above! [suggest your own suggestion] E-Mail the screenshot so others can validate the original date/time it was taken? But I guess you could just re-save a screenshot and it would then show the newly created current date/time... I'd like to trust that people would be honest with their screenshots, but we all know there are some people that would go the extra mile (or two) to make something appear as it's not. Maybe have someone else also take the screenshot so you have two references? Or have someone from the match (preferably someone the player doesn't "know" or someone from the opposing team) confirm that they were in the match at the time that the screenshot was taken? You can verify the time since the time is on the mini-map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetMegan Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I agree with Gunsmoke. Was nice to have and interesting to see, but I think that any way to confirm a SS is too complicated at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsbrad Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Scyn wishes he could stay alive. http://i.imgur.com/2sfaPRx.jpg lol, looks like Scyn got more dmg on him than he dished out for once Nice healing numbers too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syberduh Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Could be a system as simple as "at least one/two player/s not in the record-breaking player's guild must post in this thread to verify that the match happened recently." Should be very easy for ranked matches. Most normal matches should have enough players who frequent the forums to verify as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelliMelon Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I like the idea of other people verifying. It will likely suck, and be a headache for Scyn, but it's probably the most reliable way. If it were me though, I'd just be lazy and take people's word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheistChurch Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 This would work if people were active about it. I have a feeling people will stop posting leaving me in the dust to decide. It has the potential to work but also could have some flaws. For instance, I could go through any of my old screenshots, find two random people on them and offer them credits to say it was post 2.0.1. If people were willing to go to lengths before to cheat, who says they won't do this now? In my opinion, you should either trust the people posting, or stop accepting PvP records. Do you guys know how do the other servers deal with this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xContex Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 I appreciate everyone's concern over the complexity of verifying screenshots. To answer the question other servers are simply ignoring the fact that there are glitches in this game and counting everything. At this point in time it seems that is the only available option. And TBH to those telling me to stop updating this thread, I appreciate the 2 cents but people enjoy threads like this for a reason. Not to build their egos up, not to point and laugh at others below them. But to actually look at the SS and look at the ridiculousness that just happened. That is the beauty of this thread.

hulcalan Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Well, ya know numbers are supposed to raise when we level up, and better our gear. Raising Dmg is one thing... another thing is entirely how pvp works... I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of over 4 mil collective healing going out in a match ... that should not be a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khalhazar Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Full duration voidstar, with decent dps and heavy healers sufficient to overpower the DPS and prevent tank death, is a rare and exceptional game. It likely involved a lot of tight 8-7 group fighting for spreading AE taunts and guard-swapping. I'm not at all surprised to see those numbers. This kind of game has happened to others on other servers pre-2.0 (see the pre-2.0 gamewide records thread; contrary to popular dogma, the top 2 or 3 slots are held by assassins!), so it's not the patch, it's luck of the draw in game and teams, and having the skill to take advantage of it, which Airenar clearly does. :-) Grats!
