We use platforms and several of our strats call for them. We made some changes mid-way through the night to cut out all platforms because of the bug ... whereas previously we felt the random chance of it occurring didn't outweigh the legitimacy of utilizing them. Obviously, DigitalSyn owns a few of our hexes now due to that (not blaming the lack of platforms, that'd be silly - just saying we cut them out entirely and that DSyn beat us in a few matches due to no crashes). What did occur, however, earlier in the day was OBVIOUS platform abuse on behalf of Vanquish. On occasion one or two members would join a defense, spam platforms during pre-match, and lock down the hexes. When both DV8 and Power were open for production last night, Vanquish constantly caused crashes during prematch (whereas DigiSyn did not - props to them) and then went on the attack. You stopped doing that later in the night and won a few defenses, good job. That doesn't justify the earlier purposeful exploiting done by your team. There's a difference between playing to win and bug exploiting. This was obviously a bug exploit as a patch was coming out to fix it. There really isn't any justification for abusing it, which Vanquish clearly did with full intent. /rant _________________

They ended up bringing a bunch of platforms to hold you off while we finished our fight with our main strikeforce. btw, if you want to play that game I can recall at least 3 games last night where we had you at third point on a steamroll and got DCed as soon as we hit the 3rd point, like clockwork...

Re: Hot Fix Notes: July 27, 2010

Awesome changes. Next up for consideration:

Crash Issues abounding
Bonuses not being granted when earned in a Raid
Poor loot quality given raid difficulty

Also, EXCELLENT revert with High Sec giving rewards again.

I advise reading the thread first as I do not use it myself as Steam just downloads the patches for me, not the whole game.
