Open Discussion about Bugs?

Quote from Sckopen

Yeah, there isn't a bug list even available for support members and they aren't really informed of anything.. What I know about the game is out of experience and I would say most support members are the same.

I could count with the fingers of one (1) hand, and I'll won't need all of them, all the support members of S1914 capable enough to explain all the bugs, that for example you(Sckopen) and I, know about.

Even with those 3/4/5 people, they(including us) probably wouldn't know all of them.

And here's the thing, Bytro doesn't either, not just those that we don't know, but also those that we know.

If you have access to the source(sckopen and I did too) and you can't tell which is a bug and which is a "feature" then how are you going to warn/ban for exploits?

Such decisions will at any point be made by bytro. Even if a list would exist bugs come and go as the game gets developed. As such a list would always be outdated result bytro remains the one taking the shots. And warnings/bans (don't forget I'm talking forum warning and bans not ingame as Smod I have nothing to do with the GO department how they handle the use of exploits is their matter, I respond to the initial question about the discussion here on the forum)

Will be given when bytro internally has made a stance. I and no mod will personally decide something is an exploit without discussing it with the higher ups. Anyway this seems to keep going on I'll try to put some effort into actually working out something that can work.

What about we try to apply

Quote from Arcorian

The fine line lies between:

Explaining a bug so we are made aware of it in order to fix it,
Explaining an advanced strategy (something in the game that is accepted, but is referred to as a bug by some players) to other players
And publicly explaining how to take advantage of an exploit (which is not allowed, as you can imagine).

When trying to discuss a bug you start by explaining a bug in a way we are aware of what is happening if we need more information we contact you etc etc. Then we put it up internally to see under which category it falls and green/red light the full explaining of it? would that be a way that works? It does put an additional effort both into the hands of the users and the crew but it does fix the contradiction of discussing something you might not be allowed to discuss.

50 mln GMs , HQ for a year and I will make full list of bugs for bytro with explenation why it happens.

I wonder if a bug allowing you to decide which place to take on the alliance game map is still working . that one was fun as you were able to decide who goes where in a map with random countries

there is a interestign bug

in general you do not take any damage

if I will be able to preproduce it - will I be banned for using that advanced strategy against Bots and Humans?

I am of opinion difference in exploit (bug) and 'feature' seems to be that a 'feature' is something you create with activity level of play, and is part of business plan where more activity creates more income for Bytro...this is smart business plan.

Can I get Sckopen and Nemuritor to teach me some of these 'Tricks" I like to be in the loop

If you manage to reproduce this situation. You are allowed to use it, and you will not be banned for it. This is also the case for similar situations in the future

check mate,

this is what I needed

anyway- on steam we can advertise Supremacy as the only game in the whole web that allows all kinds of bugs and exploits to be unleashed withotu fear of being banned .

That will bring more people to the game than all other advertisment gather together.

'With Introduction of a new BUG DLC Supremacy became firt MO SG in which have unlimited possibilities of creating new tactics and advanced strategies.. Everything that game engine allows you to do- is legal. Unleash you creative potential and join a game where you can create tactics and strategies unseeen ever before. Crush experienced enemies with totally new rushes and game changing strategies.

Bytro want you!'

something like that and you will see people floating liek a river.

it is al abotu replacing words exploit and bug with word innovative tactives, gamechanging strategies.

Everyone happy and no one complains. plus we save workhours on fixing exploits or readign bug reports....

win-win for everyone

Quote from Sckopen

Even more so when there is no information anywhere about these bugs. Could someone else please confirm this? as it's quite hard to believe..

I can confirm that Mr.Dutch answer came directly from Bytro officials.

we can discuss advanced tactics and strategies as I see it

share them with other players

but we cannot call them bugs and exploits, because they are not problem in a game engine, they are feature

Just to make this whole thing of an answer a bit more official...

Basically we allow players to raise any "bug related topic". So they don't have to wonder is this a bug or an exploit. Since we do not provide an official list of bugs and exploits, we cannot expect players to know whether this was reported already or is considered an exploit.

...in case the reported issue then indeed is classed as an exploit by us, Bytro will take action to fix it asap… otherwise it won't be considered an exploit
