slow response times (or no response at all)

[Shadowmere]

?help calls about that spec trick where you can spec between two players

Tick a players name and press ctrl+c. Then tick another players name and press F4. As long as your screen can reach the two players by being in the middle of them, your screen will spectate the middle of those two players. When they go out of reach in your screen, your screen will jump to the original player that you ctrl+c'd, but when they reach eachother again, it will jump into the middle.

I wonder if you helpcalled how to do this or had other questions about this, but at least now the guide of how to do it is on forums for other people too.

Yesterday there was an obvious wallhacker, which a moderator would have seen if he came in 30 seconds or so, but it took him 3 minutes to come, and guess what, nothing happened. The wallhacker stopped after hacking through one wall. I guess he was "just" testing his hacks.

EDIT: I guess I need to start reading other peoples' posts a bit more carefully, lol.

just wanted to see if a zh knew how to do it, and surprise surprise, nope

Don't need to do the +c :P Just ctrl is enough :P

Or just F4 twice?

subj, i suppose you could say it's ironic that i would complain about slow and/or no responses when i asked a question that i pretty much already knew no one on at the time would be able to answer, but eph sees where i was heading. :]

[DJSlayer]

Perhaps they actually need to think about getting ZH's that are somewhat intellectual and know their stuff?

Either someone who has been playing a long time or someone who turned out to be a quick learner. (Get's ready to reapply for staff :fear lol

[Edify]

Bolded for Absolute Vision

I just Tab one person's name and scroll down or up and press F4 on the person who I want to see (usually the two terrs in base or people in duel).
Psht what is this Ctrl+C stuff. Never heard of that.

[Jerome Scuggs]

man, life is so fucked up right now

i just logged on today

sorry

[roxxkatt]

Or just F4 twice?

that ftw ^

also, ctrl, tab, or anything that fires works for speccing or staying in a safe

I don't know if staff respond time is slow because I have no experience with it.
What I can say is this, ofcourse people have lives and have to eat, sleep etc... but ain't the point from staff to try to recruit players from all time zones and make staff so helpfull as possible? I mean I see enough players that are staff worthy and all together they are enough online to forfill every time zone.
Saying that people have lives and can't play this game 24/7 is fair enough but saying that ?help isn't a 24/7 helpdesk ain't solving this problem (in my opinion).
Ofcourse it can happen that by some reason no staffer is available for some hours.
But I think I can say that I know Jason good enough that he won't make a post like this after having this problem once or twice.

Not trying to stamp people into the ground just putting my opinion into this.

Challah,

Creepy, I was just thinking of that animation earlier today.

Staff are usually quick to tell you to stfu if you spam "host hockey" enough.

The Help function is used mostly for basic TW related problems or TWD Op requests. As such we are not recruiting people who know every single detail about the game, more so about the zone. That's for the majority of the ZH we do recruit, there are other factors but to best serve the public having people who know a lot about the zone and the zone population are more valuable then someone who knows what an .LVZ is or can run and operate their own zone. Not every Zone Helper is going to know the minute and obsolete details of Continuum but they should know where to find the information and help people find what they need.

We are also in the process of finding a new person to take over the training SMod position formerly held by Nycle. So to Jason and others who have some free time (and don't want to join staff) consider making some material the new training SMod could use.

As for the slow response times, we do try to keep active staffers from all time zones, the 12-5 PM Est period tends to be slow both in population and staffer activity. I know this issue is important when Kim/Predator decide to recruit people so it is a known problem.

you're shit out of luck unless Mootland or any of my other Australasian counterparts are hanging about.

Problem solved, me, sertifi, and lizard fuel will jump on a plane and hit up Australia within the next 24 hours. You wont be able to keep us out forever!
