[magic pond]

#📖・rules-n-info message not really a bug, but someone tell wiz to update the yt minimum here from 750 to 1k

[hollow cove]

too many people might not complain abt this but i think the grenade count speeding up sometimes, because i time the explosion but sometimes it explodes earlier

[kind lotus]

Your ping will mess with it sometimes

[hollow cove]

ok ty

[kind lotus]

Np

[kind lotus]

lmfao dont wast his time

[kind lotus]

=\

[hollow cove]

lol

[civic sky]

I AM a bug

[indigo token]

Thanks pusheen it counts! Updated

[safe remnant]

um

[abstract crater]

Whats the bug there. I think its the shield Hp

[vague marlin]

Thats an old bug, basically if you get a shield there is a sparkle thing that pops up in the corner

[karmic blaze]

phantom glimmer ⭐

[vague marlin]

🤩

[opal widget]

i see some people is using aimbot

why they not ban

[coral ginkgo]

Skill dif probably

[opal widget]

they are using aimbot so much

[wild remnant]

this game can't actually ban the hacker

[opal widget]

😭

i want ban all ppl use aimbot

so bad

[fickle marsh]

oh rly I thought if we report the hacker and the devs track him down with the details, they could ban his account.

[wild remnant]

we can report, but they cant actually get ban them tho

[fickle marsh]

thats depressing

i keep threatining all those fking hackers that they might get banned lmfao

[median gull]

just say ur talking to wiz about them rn

[prime carbon]

Welp if you find a hacker, send a report thru will all the info you can get and then join a new lobby! Problem solved 👍

It's all being worked on in the background

[junior charm]

then more hackers...

[kind lotus]

cheaters half of them who use cheats don't know how to hack

[kind lotus]

the staging weebstie is don

*down

yea good

[fickle marsh]

i don't think they'll believe me because 1 guy thought i was hacking when I midaired him and 360d him and he said he was talking to wiz and I didn't believe a damn word he said

[kind lotus]

techniaccly a bug!
#💡・creator-info message
it says for partner creator reach out to waldoh but above it says reach out to wiz directly

[indigo nova]

not a bug; it isn't expected for someone to skip all of the tiers and apply for partner. In all applications except partner, Waldoh is the one to message, so both statements are accurate

oh i guessss at the very bottom it says waldoh sure

I think at this point Waldoh is fine as well though

[kind lotus]

ok darn it 😦

[livid heart]

shell shockers won't load for me

[kind lotus]

oof

[livid heart]

It resets to Singapore when it is usually US East, which is supposed to be correct

[kind lotus]

thats not a bug tho lol
just ur connection

[livid heart]

I don't know what it is but it's broken bro and I need it fixed. my wifi is fine

[kind lotus]

nothhings wrong just hard reload

[livid heart]

did that already several times

[kind lotus]

clear cache then or else its ur connections

[livid heart]

It IS my connection because I don't live in Singapore and I can't put it back to US East

[kind lotus]

u can lol

[indigo nova]

You should be able to jsut click US East

[kind lotus]

yea

[indigo nova]

Some times if your connection is interupted, it can have trouble getting the ping and will jsut display it (incorrectly) as 1000, and the game tries to default to whatever the lowest ping is.

Please don't use this channel jsut to greet people or chat 🙂

[livid heart]

I go to shellshock.io, then I see that I am somehow logged out... wierd. Then, I go to see that it says "Singapore." After I change it to US East, I press play. That is when the never ending loading bar appears.

Thankfully, I cleared my chrome cache and data, then restarted three times, and I fixed it. I still want to know why it was like that though.

[indigo nova]

the neverending loading bar? thats odd.

I am not sure why it was like that, maybe you had some extension that was reacting poorly to the website

I also am a server admin that can look into people who are breaking the rules. One of them, for example, is no alts, especially of banned accounts

[next flax]

Did staging die today

[indigo nova]

it died a few days ago

[kind lotus]

good no more cheating people ith leaks

[median gull]

Pretty sure you guys alr know about this bug, but i shot someone with a free ranger and their egg flipped, but they could play as normal, just looking wierd

[indigo nova]

that doesn't seem like it was caused by a free ranger shot 😛

[median gull]

Ik. Just letting you know what i used incase that couldve effected it

[indigo nova]

Was it someone you knew, or a public lobby?

[kind lotus]

.

Bubbleaxe has a video with a clip of it

[median gull]

pub lobby

[next flax]

Why is staging dead

[magic pond]

b-b-b-b-but the leaks D:

whyyyy

[kind lotus]

why the fuck are you wasting his time?

[odd parcel]

Hes such a goofy ahh NPC

[indigo nova]

we did

[kind lotus]

bruh don't have too pong

.

[gleaming stirrup]

yawn

Stagings ded

[gloomy wadi]

(staging returns a http 500 error)

[indigo nova]

Yes staging doesn't work anymore

too many people would go on it and leak things that weren't done, or exploit things theat we hadn't tested

[junior charm]

dev.?

[magic pond]

yeah what about dev.shellshock.io

[hollow cove]

lmao

[kind lotus]

It’s only happened a couple of times, but still…?

[next flax]

?

[kind lotus]

See the attached video

[next flax]

It’s just the nade not moving?

[kind lotus]

Yeah its just stuck in the floor

Again, not a big issue lol

[balmy turtle]

i once had a nade stuck on the top ladder at suap(red corner ladder thing)

like between the ladder and the top block

[indigo nova]

currently dev should still be accessible, since thats where we put stuff after we are done with it on staging, so THEORETICALLY it shouldn't be a buggy mess that people can exploit

[magic pond]

k

[kind lotus]

i know if this isnt a bug but make it a rule
here
that you can;t spam gifs

for the great or good mabye
u can post them just not keep on posting them on and on

[meager cargo]

There's clearly Rule 4 that says no spamming in general

[kind lotus]

true

[tardy compass]

idk

[kind lotus]

what?

[tardy compass]

Idk what happend i was playing then it despawnede me and went like that

[wild remnant]

The real problem will show when you click play button

[feral beacon]

one day i come back and i cant login and i cant join a game and login button does nothing pls help wiz

[nova edge]

Skin hack

[tardy compass]

i tried but then the game just like rest and went to home page

[next flax]

I’ve been a map loading screen but there was the play option lol

I’ve also been on a map mixed of cluckgrounds and four quarters

[next flax]

ummmmm

[finite tapir]

it seems you lost connection

[next flax]

I didn’t tho

[frank agate]

its bad timing

[next flax]

I was able to move and play

[finite tapir]

you tried reloading the page?

[indigo nova]

More than likely you have an adblocker going and blocked the background freeze when that message comes up.

so you were able to continue playing without dismissing it

[steady marten]

#💡・creator-info message there is a double space after "Waldoh?"

There is also a comma inconsistency amongst the numbers

#💡・creator-info message Accidental double space right after the second #🥚・shell-shockers

#💡・creator-info message Accidental double space before the "5000+"

Tier 1 has a period ending this sentence: "- Well edited, non-toxic, original, entertaining content recorded at solid fps and frame rate", however Tier 2 does not have a period ending the identical sentence. This applies to Tier 3 as well
(I will continue tomorrow)

[next flax]

We’ll I lost connection as I pressed play and a ad popped up but bc I was afk I lost connection as I pressed it

[kind lotus]

💀 💀

[wild remnant]

How is kilzo so serious 👀

[timber ginkgo]

I thought this was bug reports not kilzo just downloaded grammarly and is now going to correct every minor error he can find reports

[gloomy wadi]

He has to get the most out of Grammarly subscription

[karmic blaze]

😂

[next flax]

no x?

[little shale]

press f5

[next flax]

Refresh?

Didn’t do anything

[karmic blaze]

the icon for it probably didn't load - besides, you still have the "Cancel" button that does the same thing so the missing X doesn't really affect anything

[steady marten]

To be fair I did that without Grammarly

[timber ginkgo]

Wow kilzo that is very impressive

[kind lotus]

Nice job Kilzo

[next flax]

Kilzo how come u left the palace sige map then rejoin the leave again and why were u on us east ik thisisnta a shell glitch but it could be a kilzo glitch

[kind lotus]

is this a bug lol

[tough idol]

what @indigo nova

a

[meager cargo]

Devs are off today

[tough idol]

ok

[median gull]

you click the cancel button :/

[median gull]

Nope. Simply just a gun glitch

[shadow halo]

bug

[kind lotus]

bruh thats discord

[mental dock]

The blue wizard devs will get right to fixing discord i promise

[indigo nova]

For sure, right after we fix the Chrome memory leak and the weird issue where some user's laptops won't charge

[umbral pilot]

Lmfao

[brave zealot]

shellshockers has been really dead and i keep getting only one map. even when i change zones.

[median gull]

Mist likely cause that the only map thats open. Its not a bug

[vague marlin]

yeah they took staging down for you to use, it's not a bug

[kind lotus]

Rip

[brave zealot]

it is a bug. its all the time

i can get on there right now and it will happen

and every server

[indigo nova]

What server and game mode?

[brave zealot]

all

[indigo nova]

if not enough people are on the server playing that mode, it won't create a new game lobby since it will prioritise filling the open one

[brave zealot]

ik that

but this was not like this before until the last few months

@indigo novaso this is right now

i will go back to home and play again and will get same map over and over

nvm

wow i actually got a different map

[indigo nova]

Progress!

[brave zealot]

maybe its only at certain times

i usually dont get on during the day

[indigo nova]

Possible, USC is about 1 hour ahead of me, so you reported it initially at what would be 2am for that server

[brave zealot]

huh?

nvm

i was thinking u meant right now lol. not initial report

[indigo nova]

yeah, initial report

so if thats when you experienced it, it would make sense the servers weren't super populated

[brave zealot]

well change that. its doing it again

[indigo nova]

Yeah i think CTS is usually fairly dead, so Im not surprised you're getting that issue with it. I WOULD be surprised if it was happening a lot for say, FFA or KotC

[indigo nova]

that said I just joined a FFA with like, 2 other people in the lobby on USC haha

[brave zealot]

ya

it was never like this before

[indigo nova]

Might just be a result of it being summer so people are vacationing/not inside during these hours

[brave zealot]

i mean with the repeat maps

[indigo nova]

yeah, like I said the repeat maps are mostly jsut trying to fill a lobby

[brave zealot]

nah cuz i will get maps over and over with like only 1 person

[indigo nova]

yeah, people aren't joining

[brave zealot]

10min later still same

[indigo nova]

yeah, CTS is an unpopular mode

[brave zealot]

its not the amount of people though

[indigo nova]

theres room in your lobby for like, 6 more people, so rather than create a lobby of 2 people, in MOST cases the game will just try to fill that room

[brave zealot]

here look. alot of people and free for all

and samething happening

[indigo nova]

Weird, i've gotten 6 different lobbys (admitedly 3 of them on Road) and they were all different people

[brave zealot]

idk. i even put it on singapore and getting the same 2 maps over and over

@indigo novanow one thing u guys need to definitely fix. this stupid pop-up about adblocker. that is so annoying

how does it even know u are using one?????????

i dont like that. thats like a privacy issue

[indigo nova]

It knows you are using it because it tries to show you an ad and is blocked

Thats not something we need to fix at all, it's a reminder to not block one of our primary ways to keep the game free haha

[mental dock]

adblockers read every website you visit. Thats more of a privacy issue

[brave zealot]

no they dont lol. they just block ads

[mental dock]

you make me sad

[indigo nova]

they 100% collect data XD

[mental dock]

Yeah people dont realize that nothing is free

[brave zealot]

ok so found out something interesting

when i use normal mode on chrome and get the pop-up i get the same maps over and over. but if i go to incognitio mode i get different maps with no pop-up

nvm. its happening now

[indigo nova]

Yeah, I don't think theres any issue with you or your computer, it seems to jsut be with the server/game mode population

[brave zealot]

now another thing. why did u guys get rid of nuke.zone on browser????

@indigo nova

[indigo nova]

We wanted something more from Nuke Zone, so we took it down and are hard at work on it to release as a steam game (please check the #cybergeddon channel for information on it! The name seems to change daily)

[brave zealot]

ok but not everyone like me can use steam

there was no reason to take it down. u can have both versions

[indigo nova]

well, it's a different game now

much much different

[brave zealot]

exactly. and u could the browser too

[eager helm]

if that chromebook isnt a school issued one, some chromebooks have some support for linux (which you can install steam through) along with android support (unrelated)

[brave zealot]

ive tried using but it doesnt work very good on linux

[brave zealot]

so what is wrong with having both versions?

nuke.zone and nuke zone 2

[indigo nova]

they kinda canibalize eachother

so if we have two, we would split the fanbase when we want all of the fanbase on the new one

[brave zealot]

why

[mental dock]

More games = less players per game

[brave zealot]

what if people dont want to play the new one or cant play it

[mental dock]

That will happen no matter what they do

Browser games are much more accessible at the cost of not being able to add alot of content without it becoming a laggy mess

[brave zealot]

exactly. so there was no reason to get rid of the browser version

[mental dock]

Harrison already explained that part

[indigo nova]

If we had 10000 people playing shell, and there were 4000 playing FFA, 4000 playing Teams and 2000 playing CTS, thats one thing. Now we introduce KotC and suddenly there is 3500 playing FFA, 3500 playing teams, 1000 playing CTS and 2000 playing KotC. Same amount of people, but now the CTS players have less people to play with and keep getting thrown into the same maps all the time

if we were to say, get rid of CTS altogether, thats 1000 people who then go populate hte other game modes. if we lost half of the people who still were unable to play other game modes or chose not to, thats still more people in the areas we want them

not that we have any plans to get rid of CTS, just using an example that may have relevance to you

[brave zealot]

but having a browser and steam version is like having a pc and mobile version

[indigo nova]

yeah, but they still have the same issue of splitting the fan base

[brave zealot]

not really

[indigo nova]

and, once we did split that fan base, we would have less people on the browser, and then we would have to account for if the server costs were worth it, like how Killstreak and Raidland proved to not be

[brave zealot]

not everyone has a phone and computer

[indigo nova]

true, but if something is costing more than it's making, it isn't worth keeping up

[brave zealot]

ya if people play it

[indigo nova]

now, I don't know the state of Nuke Zone at the time we took it down, but the projection would place it in that red area once the new one came out

but not ENOUGH people would play it

[brave zealot]

ya and ive seen alot of people complain about taking down the browser version

[indigo nova]

I do not doubt it

[brave zealot]

then why take it down???? that does not make sense

[indigo nova]

Ive seen people complain about Killstreak or raidland being shut down, and we understand some people lost a game they enjoyed, but as a business, if it's losing us money...

[mental dock]

He's explained it like 5 times. It wouldnt be making enough money after the new steam version was released

[brave zealot]

who cares about money. if its going to make people upset its not worth it

[indigo nova]

I cannot begin to describe to you how much I would love for Vanilla Coke to be constantly sold in stores, but it jsut works better for Coca Cola to do it limited release

[eager helm]

usually people who its costing care about the money.
you can exactly go negative in a business

[mental dock]

😐
😐

😐😐

😐

[indigo nova]

as a person, I can see that viewpoint. but we are a company and a business, so we DO care about money

we obv care about making people happy, too, but not if it's at a loss

[brave zealot]

why do u think so many people quit shellshockers

[indigo nova]

Lots of reasons

no game will ever be PERFECT

[brave zealot]

ya and the main reason is because of you guys getting rid of games they enjoyed

[indigo nova]

so we strive to make it the best it can be for the most people, while acknowledging that for some people those choices will put them off.

I don't think many people quit shellshockers because Raidland got taken down

but if there are people who did, well, thats within their right, but we werent catering to the shell audience by keeping raidland up

[brave zealot]

oh u would be surprised how many say thats why they quit

[mental dock]

I feel like its not this difficult to understand that money is sort of important for a business

[indigo nova]

Maybe i would! always room for surprises in life, but we definitely have not seen a noticeable player drop for shell around the times we made those choices

[brave zealot]

lol

[indigo nova]

Anyways, I do have other work to do, hopefully I've explained it well enough that your questions are answered, even if you do not much care for the answers

[brave zealot]

theres definitely alot less people since u guys got rid of games

[mental dock]

Can i tell you a secret

Harrison has access to the player stats

[brave zealot]

ok?

[mental dock]

So you dont see why you telling him that there were a lot of less players after the games got taken down (right after he said the opposite) is a problem?

[brave zealot]

and ive been playing ss for years and have seen the drop

[mental dock]

You are sort of difficult to talk to

[brave zealot]

well i have

[median gull]

Ive been playing shell for just over a year now and compared to back then, there are way more players

[gloomy wadi]

Most people care about money because they would like to eat food

[vague marlin]

I don't think it should say the Taking The Day Off thing too

[gloomy wadi]

You are in the very small percentage of people who quit shell for that reason. The reason they removed those games is because close to no one were playing them.

[indigo nova]

sorry, why not?

just cuz it has a timer I guess?

[median gull]

Kinda. Maybe you could change it to something “taking some time off” idk tho. All up to you guys 😛

[vague marlin]

It normally says this

[indigo nova]

yeah, thats what Im used to

[vague marlin]

It's not a big bug or anything I just wanted to point out that it was saying that instead of what it normally says

[kind lotus]

I've created an account, but when i try to set my username, it says "Not authorized to change username"

[indigo nova]

whereabouts?

[kind lotus]

this is for merczone

[indigo nova]

yeahhhh you're kinda locked into your first name on Merc Zone

not like Shell where you can change it on a whim

[kind lotus]

i've seen people with custom names tho

[indigo nova]

Yeah, they did that when they started

[umbral pilot]

Yeah

[indigo nova]

when you create the account you can set it, and thats your name forever

[brave oasis]

Speaking of Merc Zone, I haven't played that game in months

[kind lotus]

it did the same thing when i started too, though

[indigo nova]

did you use an innapropriate name?

[kind lotus]

nope, tried to do "724VEN"

after that i tried a bunch of things but nothing worked

so i ended up just doing the "skip for now" thing

[indigo nova]

so on this screen, it didn't work?

[kind lotus]

yes

[indigo nova]

Worked for me

Did you use gmail or email?

[kind lotus]

gmail

[indigo nova]

hmm same for me

there were no steps really, so not sure where it could have gone wrong for you

[kind lotus]

hrm i can try making another acct

actually i mightve done signup with email and then entered my gmail acct

[indigo nova]

I wonder what that would do 😮

but yeah, give it a shot

[kind lotus]

i think thats what i DID do

[indigo nova]

can confirm the process works, so hopefully it works for you next time 🙂

again, you cannot change it though, so make sure it makes you happy 😛

[kind lotus]

welp just tried it again with a different email. same problem

it looks like it already decided on a username before i even chose one

[indigo nova]

and you're using https://merc.zone?

[kind lotus]

yep

[indigo nova]

hmmm very odd. Try it in an incognito window?

and if you have a video or screenshot of the issue, that would be grreat

[kind lotus]

i have one, how do i paste it here tho

[umbral pilot]

Click the plus sign

[indigo nova]

You may need to go to #🔓・unlock-channels and get the Media role

[kind lotus]

ah

[umbral pilot]

@indigo nova

[kind lotus]

huh

[indigo nova]

only thing I can think of is that your name selections are somehow hitting a spam filter

[kind lotus]

since i literally tried stuff like lion, sheep, dragon, and star256, i dont think thats the problem. thanks to both of you for trying to help, though.

[kind lotus]

oh, i misread your comment. it's possible that it might be a spam filter problem, I can't think of anything else it might be -v('-')v-

[vague marlin]

u should take a video of you trying to keep a name in, it might help him

[lime moth]

Hey, not sure if anyone is aware yet, but shell shock staging is currently down. "500 Internal Server Error"

[median gull]

Staging is dead

They shut it down because it was really glitchy and people were starting to exploit it

[wild remnant]

yes the staging is now down

[balmy turtle]

days ago

[indigo token]

We also wanted to test stuff and have people not know about it 😄

Dev still gets updated ahead of time

[placid fractal]

zamn

[placid fractal]

Is it going to be back up soon though or no?

[vague marlin]

no

[placid fractal]

😔

[kind lotus]

good!

[steady marten]

Faith Q & A... Am?!?!?!?

[finite tapir]

sus

[strange tree]

Zams ?

[indigo nova]

lol no, it's PM

[old flicker]

It's not opening

[fierce heart]

that is when u have bad connection 🤣

[old flicker]

Tf I can play other games on 20ms ping want proof?

[solid willow]

[wild remnant]

its actually not about connection

[fallow wing]

FIX IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

😭

[vague marlin]

😬 Yeah thats hurts

[kind lotus]

[fallow wing]

The pattern what else

[kind lotus]

ik i realized it but slowmode

[timber ginkgo]

Thanks a lot now I can never unsee that

[fallow wing]

Me neither 😭😭

[tacit urchin]

@indigo nova I was trying to get a decent thumbnail for a vid and I came across this. Look at the bottom right

[indigo nova]

what am I looking at in the bottom right?

[tacit urchin]

There is a little wizard there

[indigo nova]

oh thats really odd 😮

[tacit urchin]

Is this some sort of competition related to anything?

Do i send this to wiz to redeem something 😄

I can see one on the porch too

[meager cargo]

Shadowfigure's twin?

[finite tapir]

lightfigure

[vague marlin]

The first one idk what is really happening, the second one you can see I just keep on falling and can't stop, u can see in the kill log thats is happing to another person too named Art

[indigo nova]

Yup, we are aware of that; how long ago did this happen?

[vague marlin]

Which one?

[indigo nova]

either, really

the oldest one

[vague marlin]

Oh yeah both few mins ago like 5 - 10 mins ago

[indigo nova]

Okay, thanks!

[median gull]

Spawns in merc zone are spawning u inside stuff meaning u can't play

[kind lotus]

merc without ramirez or murphy

[placid fractal]

Yeah nah I can't even spawn bro it spawns me under the map 🤦

[placid fractal]

Exactly what was happening to me too

[hollow cove]

merc zone is so glitchy smh

[indigo nova]

Currently, if you end a round and alt tab until the next one, your spawn will be messed up. It's known, but we felt it was better to get it out and fix it after so the actual gameplay would be better than it was on live

so jsut remember to tab back in before the next round starts

[steady marten]

Stuck on this in the new.shellshock.io thing

Bad ping pong on US Central new.ss.io. Usually 25 now 90

[timber ginkgo]

im going to cry

[wild remnant]

oh wiz and harrison nice

[wild remnant]

what are you even doing

[indigo nova]

not the channel for that (there also isn't really a channel for that in the first place, tbh)

[solid willow]

fix wat - AYYO THAT IS GROSS

[fallow wing]

the pattern...

[junior charm]

For http://new.shellshock.io/#PK6QZJE , the ping is higher then normal, and if i go to a SYD (my main) i would also get higher ping

[jovial smelt]

whats this

[karmic blaze]

same here, my usual 90ms turns into 180-200 on the new servers
