Lowered the MRV timer a bit. MRV begins to spawn 21 days after a new round and time to activation is 24 hours for V 0.1, and +6h time for each additional V 0.1

V 0.1 will have 24h
V 0.2 will have 30h
V 1.0 will have 24h + 54h = 78h

yeah, should click Cancel, then Ok

Yes, put a filter blanket on all of HP after we got attacked with XSS attempts, will improve / change some filter option as we go though.

Update completed.

That's a good idea, I'm thinking maybe several options to select when you start the IP Change task:

24h, no AP cost
20h, 600 AP
16h, 1500 AP
12h, 2500 AP
6h, 4500 AP


Might stimulate usage of AP a bit, and if you need a fast IP Change you pay with AP for it... sounds reasonable.

but the 1k HPD cost stays the same, so even newbie players can use it.

ETA is a few days. I've finished the IP Leech modifications and doing the PVP mods right now.

Expect an update in a few days.

We'll see we try with 24h for 5-inf first and go from there.

I think you can find them easy enough, just need a server farm with IP Leech and search for the 0.5-inf, that takes only 3 hours to recharge.

It will also give the server name and highest soft in there when it leeches the IP, so you have some additional info on the spot to try and find a specific target. Targeting someone directly is too powerful for sure.

I think I got a better idea, the IP Buster idea is too open to abuse.


Instead, the IP Leech can be improved to take over the purchase / IP Dealer functions like this:


IP Leech will work like this:

Chance to acquire IP from 50%(default) to 100% (with extra time, version)

IP can already be in IP Db.

min/max Version on target => Min runtime required:
0.1-0.11 => 15 minutes
0.11-0.2 => 30 minutes
0.2-0.3 => 45 minutes
0.3-0.4 => 1 hour
0.4-0.5 => 1h 15 min
0.5-inf, 3 hours
5-inf, 24 hours

IP Cloaker can protect against Leech, if it protected, the Leech says it could not penetrate the cloak. Leech version has to exceed the cloak version.

A log is created on the server that was leeched:
IP leak detected! IP Leech virus from [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] has acquired localhost IP!

So if the leech gets the IP, the target gets a warning in the logs, and the IP of the server with the leech vir.


Results look like this:
 Scanning for target IP...
 Found the target! Target IP is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
 Server name: xxx's Server
 Maximum version file type is #NAME V x.x
 File is hidden with version x.x
 File is encrypted with version x.x


I think that makes it more balanced, combined with the PvP changes in the first post. The target / victim has a chance to retaliate too, and because of the 24 hour limit to IP Change, he can't really change IP so much but he is at least warned that someone got his new IP...

So, you can have server farms with IP Leech on them, dedicated for gathering IP's I guess, should be an ok replacement for the IP Dealer, maybe with better potential even, if you're willing to invest in researching the IP Leech and dedicate a powerful server for it...

Alright, might be a short delay until update (a few days) until we get the IP Buster in place, but don't worry the new round will be interesting so prepare

PvP updates now available:


- IP Leech takes over IP Dealer find IP functions. IP Leech is very very useful now.


- IP Dealer
   -> Public server: 50 HPD
   -> Faction server: 250 HPD
   -> Secret server: 2500 HPD
   -> private server buy removed

- IP Change
   -> runtime is:
      24h, no AP cost
      20h, 500 AP
      16h, 1200 AP
      12h, 2000 AP
      6h, 3000 AP
   
- Change pwd
   -> runtime is 60 minutes
   
- Removed online status from top ranking

- Messages room shows online status only if sender is in your group or friend list accepted

- Friend list is two way, you get pending until the other approves your friend request.
   -> no neutral/enemy categ in friend list, just friend
   -> All one way friend list get removed
   -> if one removes a friend from list, it gets removed on other end too
   
- Rev damage
   -> when activated on a target, the Rev server takes 25% of the malware damage power inflicted, while the attacked target gets 75% of the malware power damage.
   - as it targets the server, both servers get damage in the blast.

- Damage Hacker mission
   -> give out primary IP only if the player has a bad reputation with the faction
   -> chance to get primary IP is diminished

- IP Cloaker protects against IP Leech. IP Leech version need to be greater then running IP Cloaker, when it encounters an IP running a cloaker.

- IP Cloaker protects against process tracer finding the IP. PT version need to be greater then running IP Cloaker.

- IP Cloaker protects against Virus Identifier for the IP. VI version need to be greater then running IP Cloaker.

IP Cloaker is a must to run on any respected hacker server. Higher version is better.

Yeah, I guess we could add installing virii to primary PvP mission rewards, maybe pay the AP cost or 75% of it in PvP points...

I guess I was thinking that it could be exploited to get free virii installs...
