Vacation mode received messages

    Simple suggestion

    While a player is in vacation mode they cannot receive shared espionage reports .

    From Alliance members or their friends list contacts.

    they can get ally chat messages and normal conversational messages but no espionage reports.

    Understand where you are coming from, but most will just send the info through other means, so I doubt it will address the problem.


    I will upvote it if a vote happens but I doubt it will have an impact.

    I'll support it if the suggestion that are currently voting are in play (approx. 30 min timer upon exiting v-mode)

    v-mode warriors should not be excluded from their friends/ally group :)

    They can still chat with their ally and in game friends just no espionage reports can be shared in game is all.


    As much as it may not be much while in v mode if you cannot see galaxy view to hunt from vacation mode .

    you should not be able to receive any espionage reports as well.

    Even if they are sent via other means out side the game that is still not in game

    most are a half day out of date not fresh from the last few minutes.

    Nor does every one always stay logged into their other chat room group or discord page. to check for that either.

    it's simpler and simpler is usually better.

    Less parts to break or go buggy.

    This also includes in game api keys being shared across private in game messages the system will auto block the message from being sent with an api key included in the message

    and as said before most all out of game shared esp. reports are half a day old and useless.

    And game forge can make it so api keys can't be shared out side the game. unless using an approved game to discord link. that keeps it hidden from v moded players on off site platforms

    Can't see why we should even bother GF with this. No matter what you do or suggest regarding to this, it's always possible to receive information in Discord or whatever. Even without sharing api key. No need for useless suggestions to the game please!!

    I call this event, ogame's spring. the masses have risen to outcast the evil VM warriors.


    let it be known.

    As long as GF uses a digital library set up for the users and servers that api keys go thru if it is not an approved GF tool which they can block it and prevent the v moded player on discord from seeing the esp report or api keys so they won't get them with many having logged into GF discord channel GF can tag your machine and copy your HD serial and discord identity profile to do that and use that via the library function and block it from you even out side of the game via api encryption encodement. YT content creators can block their material from being viewed on off YT sites.

    true a cell phone photo does the same thing. and out side the game or discord.

    But this is far better than punishing every one. as suggested in another thread.

    But it is better to try something than do nothing.

    I just believe it's not useful at all. It will always be possible to bypass. Period. It will take 5 seconds and everyone have a way to go around the "issue". As of now, vm warriors exists and plays that way. It has been like that for a loooong time.
    If just the other big vm proposal goes through we would not need anything changed regardless.
    And even from my perspective, I vm once in a while if RL is busy but if a mate shares a hit and asks for help, I can pop out for a few hours and I would hate not having that possibillity when I have 340+ active days on oGame a year.

    If people just took care of their shit instead of blaming the mechanics of the game it would be far more peacefull =)

    I wish that is the case with previous trade rates and pull rules, but since that changed, everything else is fair game.

    Edited once, last by Apostle ().

    Well look at it this way we cannot see galaxy view in v mode so we should not be able to get any shared esp reports or api. keys also.

    Other wise v mode should be go in and out when you want. but no less than 12 hours in or and hour out and and able to see galaxy view in v mode again.

    And yeah it is part of the game.

    Thing is we got players crying about it. that never had to deal with a unhindered v mode warrior

    That could see galaxy view while in vacation mode. So they have no clue about how much that one little thing did help the issue

    even with the extra account on that server that's lower ranked and played on while the main account is in v mode. To gather their own esp reports and data.

    Discord


    Whole thread is now a moot point

    naaa not at all. just because a dev popped in or a discord mod on another thread means nothing.

    this suggestion still has far more merit than one that punishes every player for 18 players blue shield play style.

    and as I said while in v mode you can not see galaxy view so no esp reports should be seen even if shared or api keys. while in blue

    and using a digital library set up the api can be hidden from the blue players discord. account as well.

    Quote from threeflipskat3r

    I literally can't remember the last time someone shared me an API key in game

    Yeah and with a digital library application running esp reports and api's it can encode the api so the api it's self blocks the player from seeing it even off site as the game team has your discord log in details and that's all they would need.

    and yeah it could still be shared of site another point is in game block esp reports from being shared to v moded players.
