The scary paradigm shift of Balmung.

[Kandraxx]

It's just funny how someone who uses a hair mod or auto-yes plugin is the same in their eyes as someone who one-buttons an Ultimate with full mechanics overlays.

You are so right, despite being a pg-13 game, BALMUNG is NOT safe for children under any circumstances. This was a really good call from you, you're a good parent.

If only square enix would WARN parents about the interactions their CHILDREN could be exposed to.

The game just isn't for kids in the first place. It may say that, and the recent expacs fit that bill. But don't forget costa del sol. Don't forget that the Astrologian questline makes several references to a pleasure barge. Don't forget that Sastasha has a side room full of sex slaves locked up (that you can free btw). And then characters that allude to rape in the msq of stormblood as well.

SE doesn't have to warn you about anything, if you as a parent give your child access to an online game and don't teach them about the dangers of the internet while also checking in on them, then you are a bad parent simple as that. Stop relying on corporations to parent your child. But don't for a second think that the game that does all of the above is made for children, if you allow your child to play then it is on you the parent to set the limits and ensure their safety; not the playerbase and definitely not the company; you don't need a company to warn you and if you do you need common sense.

They have a stalking plugin running loose and they will almost undoubtedly not even fix it for 7.2.

Right, i nearly forgot about that. Man what has this Game become...

[NaoSen]

Do you think Square Enix actually cares? They have a stalking plugin running loose and they will almost undoubtedly not even fix it for 7.2.

It's literally in the preliminary patch notes that they've addressed it and people will need to be re-added to blacklist.

I'd expect the fix to actually work given how much heat they took for it, information on how it worked on a technical level paired with the fact that they actually waited for a large change to implement it made it require something that actually take time.

The only thing stalker plugin did that cannot already be done is connect alts together and retainer linking, the rest of its been possible for years just no-one scummy enough to make one.
To solve the name history, location history, character look history, I cant remember what else in video they'd need to kill mods altogether.

Watch as the stalking plugin gets fixed in 2 days. LMAO

This is just like when they disabled waymark changing... then someone just made a plugin to do that once again.

You are so naive.

No I'm a software developer who read the code and the fix is actually not hard just feature was implemented lazily.

How did you get access to square enix's code?

[Sanserof]

I'm also a software developer and it's pretty difficult actually.

[Shezza]

Yeah I think this person was just making things up, literally nothing to back up what they're saying.

Do you also work at Nintendo?
