TNC -> Account Security idea (12/12/2012 3:50:48)

once again im not a flash programmer so im not sure how flexible flash can be
but heres my suggestion for player that have confirmed there email or generally just signed up with an email is to log the players last ip and if the ip changes they need to verify it in there emails in order to do certain things in game e.g
sell items
buy items
retrain

basicly anything that cost credit/varium /sells items

this is my idea to prevent accounts from being hacked from all those youtube keyloggers and such that promise free creds and tbh i think at least 1/2 the time im playing i see at least 1 player who lost all there items and claims to be hacked



TRizZzCENTRINO -> RE: Account Security idea (12/12/2012 4:24:12)

this would be a good idea, but what if someone was dumb enough to giveout their email username and password?



TNC -> RE: Account Security idea (12/12/2012 4:30:18)

well it doesnt change the fact that the email being hacked isnt any safer then the current system nor worse but terms towards the user and pass it is since generally most people dont go for email accounts and artix doesnt require an email login



TRizZzCENTRINO -> RE: Account Security idea (12/12/2012 4:37:27)

to me it is player's own fault if they choose to giveout their account details and goto a suspicious site that offers them free things, so basically they deserve it and shouldnt even complain about it.



The Incredible Hulk -> RE: Account Security idea (12/12/2012 4:42:48)

Not supported.

I can't be asked to go on my email and verify if i want to sell a weapon (Just takes too long to go on your email and check ^^)

I have been hacked once by giving a user and pass to a friend.
And yes I did deserve as I will never give out my information to anyone.
Basically you learn your lesson from it :).



TNC -> RE: Account Security idea (12/12/2012 4:52:59)

i was refering to the level 20-28 area where there some what desperate for varium and the 11 or 12 yr olds and under who are dumb eough to fall for em

for example it doesnt have to be compulsary but if im not sure hwat its called but the thing that requires a parental account like on aqw how they have canned chat this way it would be unless the parent changes it

EDIT:besides generally people complain when there acc gets hacked would cause less hassel on dev



TRizZzCENTRINO -> RE: Account Security idea (12/12/2012 5:11:47)

with omega you will not be so desperate for varium because every weapon is balanced, varium only lets you to get the item faster.



TNC -> RE: Account Security idea (12/12/2012 5:39:08)

none the less people are still dumb and will complains to devs and im suggesting this for only accounts that require a parental acc or as a security measure for confirmed accs dont forget u can swap between a static and dynamic ip quite easily (changing from modem restarts and non changing ever)



Scyze -> RE: Account Security idea (12/12/2012 5:54:07)

Your IP Address doesn't change. This is an awesome idea but, how are you going to program the Flash Player to find your IP Address?



TNC -> RE: Account Security idea (12/12/2012 6:39:29)

that would have to be done by epic duel staff but like i said before im not a flash programmer nor am i artix/ed staff ive done this kind of thing in c++ before for testing but i dont know how flexible flash can be either

Why not in order to log in?



TNC -> RE: Account Security idea (12/13/2012 5:00:06)

because this is all they can basicly do to make u lose anything on your account also with the fact that dynamic ip's can randomly change ur ip this could get anoying for some player as quoted by blaze wing



Lycus -> RE: Account Security idea (12/13/2012 5:06:08)

Nice idea, and thank you very much for thinking about player safety, however, to state it bluntly, this is impossible to do. Not due to the coding behind it, since that part could actually be done very simply, but due to the fact that a large and growing amount of internet providers have rotating IPs as a security feature. This means that the person using that provider has an IP address that changes every now and again, which with this system would prove incredibly annoying. Every 3 days or so players would have to say yes to the change in IP and make sure that it is verified, which would be fine to start, but it would be a very tedious process and extremely confusing to new/younger players who do not understand the concept.

Again, thank you for the suggestion though, since it is certainly a great idea, sadly it just would not work, and for that reason, going to lock this up.
