Not sure how feasable this is, but i for one would like a way to *adjust* the power of my anti-virii programs as it were.

As of current, whilst a v0.3 anti-virii can dis=infect a v0.3 virii, if you only have say, a v0.6 anti-virii you MUST run it at the full program requirements, regardless of virii-level.

This is annoying at the moment because if i wanted to dis-infect two v0.3, i would have to do it one at a time as i don't have a specific v0.3 to counter the virii. I would need to over-kill it with the v0.6, which AFAIK does not grant any time-reduction for using a higher anti-virii software.

My suggestions:

Time for disinfect is relative to program strengths
or
Ability to adjust the power level of the anti-virii program.

I vote for option nr 1.

Problem with one is that it allows the top players the ability to eat up all the AV missions leaving nothing for the newer players.

You can run multiple instances of the same AV program as long as you have the resources for it.

When I voted for option 1 I thought you meant that it depends on the streangth of the virus and not the AV and that the AV is automatically running on the minimum requirements.

@virus man, hence why i had an option 2: Ability to tone down the program's strength.

you didnt mention your view on that one =P

I would willingly settle for option 3 with maybee 1 exeption.

whats option 3?  :confused2:

Heck if I know. Thats why I put a "maybee" in it. But "mayhem" or "my ham" would also work good.

 :confused2:

i'm not entirely sure we want too know........

Lol nos xP!

For option one I support that because the higher level AV should cost less time to disinfect but I am happy at their current speed  :5:

Okay let's see, a problem with option two is that many high level players can just turn down their AVs and completely hog the missions ( just like what virus man said )

so lets just make it more useful to have a higher AV, have it so that it goes quicker instead...... and have the time it takes scaled to the AV virii levels, and have it take, say, half the time for a AV 0.2 to take down a virii 0.1??? or something along those lines.......

too fast, it wont be fair for people competeing

maybe a limit? like 2x is the maximum, even if you have a v0.2 or a 1.0???

no, thats why i brought in option 2.

the *higher level* players will be in teh same boat as everyone else.

It takes the same time to disinfect a virus, mcuh like having more Mhz doesn't mean faster delete times.


besides, AFAIK the top players don't bother with anti-virii missions

we're going to try to adjust the AV resource eating to the virus level, so use an AV 0.3 on a 0.2 vir will eat like a AV 0.2 basically.

Seems like the virii are winning the battle out there  :laugh:

thanks :D

Guess this makes my other thread unnecessary, this is excellent!

It's done.

oh god am i the only one doing them then..? haha also what does AFAIK mean?

as far as i know

i'm no e-chat newb, but i can't decipher that one O.o

decipher what? o_O

your weird AFAIK thing

Google is the master translator? =o

it doesn't trans slang to normal wording......... tho someone needs to make a chat room dictionary, including LOL ROFL lMAO brb and all the various abbreviations used in chat.......

they have that <.<

where? and why have i not heard of this before?

search on google i found it before xP

you mean  you don't proxy search??? wow........ i know i live in a state of severe paranoia, but this amazes me............ especially since most who would search for it would be computer newbs and would be the perfect target for crackers..........

  :17: :19: :21:

why do you think so few people have cracked me????

Are you talking about in real life or what xP?

yeah i was wondering that too o_O

both actually.........

lol  :14:

FYI AFAYK You're the only one doing any missions, since I think most people posting here cover up their IPs so you don't really know what any of us is doing, right there's exceptions.

right ignore that, on topic:

I'd vote for option two, since the higher level players can just run indeed multiple instances of the same software while wasting the same space as the full version while they still have to rip their hair out because someone started the disinfect earlier.

My vote: option 2

 :17:

Heh lol. I dont like it when im 30 seconds behind someone <.<

lol I somehow missed the solution on this one

 :17:

huh? and i've seen the waving smilie in like every post of yours  :laugh: :13: :17:

it's his newb emblem >.>  :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17:
