what the heck is "light luggage" now?Follow

Ok, short story here. I've been getting shafted hardcore with beastman/kindred seal drops lately in my merit partys. I go to camp and people are literally passing EVERYTHING except beastman/kindred seals. That alone isn't such an anomaly that people pass crap drops, but I've watched some people and they never fail to pass stuff and they do it the instant it drops. So I kill a mamool or a colibri and within 5 seconds 4 people have passed everything exept the seals, leaving me with trash. But get this, they never stop doing their job or playing. In the whole time I was monitoring them they just continued running mob after mob never interrupting themselves. Whenever I pass stuff I actually have to take the time to open the pool and pass, resulting in it showing visibly.

So last night I asked one of the people doing this what the hell was up. He said it's a new program for the PC called "light luggage" that automatically passes everything except seals for you so you can go to camp and get all the good drops without ever having to stop what your doing, and it's almost instant. The people doing this typically get like 5-15 seals a run and I'm only getting 1-2. Whats up with that? I play on PS2 so this is totally unfair. Is this in breach of the ToS? Can it be detected by the special task force and reported? Cause its pissing me off.

Light Luggage is a new windower plugin. It's worse than TP party and draw distance and exp watch etc etc because it directly affects gameplay. What's worse, the new windower download has it installed by default, so everyone who has windower post patch has it.

And I doubt its detectable. It was written by Taj. And you KNOW how legendary THAT guy is. Taj strikes fear into even s-e. They can't control him.

He also put in a timestamp which was a genius and long overdue item.

I deleted the timestamp plugin. That IS detectable by s-e if they pull up the chatlogs. If someone GM's your *** and they read the chatlogs they see the timestamp in the logs just like you do on screen, which is absolute proof you are using 3rd party app and henceforth begging for banhammer. If any GM ever pulls your chatlogs for any reason at all you will get smashed.

I just use light luggage and tp party. I like knowing tp, and I like seals. Other than that I dont use any other plugins.

Except it's client-side only, smart one.

Taj is fixing things in this game that SE has had 5 years to deal with but chose not to.

I should have known as much. When Taj writes it you KNOW it's gotta be good. That guy hacked into the POL servers and downloaded the update and did DAT mining over 4 hours before anyone else could, while the servers were still under maintenence.

So Taj broke the world again and there's nothing s-e can do about it. Nothing new. Move along now.

You got a little something on your chin there, looks like Taj's balls.

Wrong program, but still; I thought they fixed that glitch?

If the program does indeed lot while your dead, that's still circumventable by changing the profile. You can still type

//ll profile default

when dead and it'll swap the profile and turn the exp mode off. Heck you can even make an in game macro line with that text line and just hit the macro whenever you die, then hit another to turn it on after raised. Problem solved.

But ya, make sure it's turned off when you're in line to get an important drop or fighting HNM. It will auto pass all abjurations, god gear, osodes, w/e. You'll feel like a dipsh*t.



I remember those.

man, it's been a long time since i've visited the windower site. and boy oh boy are there a lot of cool new updates. ^_^ can't wait to get home and try em.

Yea...SE's new windower mode has nothing on Taj. A simple windowed mode is just not enough anymore. SE needs to up the ante if it's gonna convert Taj's loyal fan base over to the craptacular GUI and intricisies that we have now. Taj's next goal is gonna have to keep windower completly hidden from SE if they decide to go after it once the official one is released.

You could have still gotten it by disbanding from the party (making sure you are not the leader, and disabling the plugin), and rejoining the party. As long as someone was still there in the party that had not passed or lotted it, the item would remain pooled until its time expired.

The same thing can be accomplished by zoning, or even just entering the MH (which counts as a zone for lotting purposes but keeps you in the same zone).

Yeah I know ,but we had already started late and were getting ready to head into another assault- I didn't want to be that person. :x

(The only reason I left it on was to keep my inventory from getting cluttered with crystals and crap from Nyzul Isle Assault.)

can someone explain what the timestamp does?
