Hey folks,
Now that some big battles have come up, we knew eventually problems would arise (although personally I was expecting feedback to be more so to do with players going power mad or something of the nature) but as it would happen, staff have become concerned with the manner in which Sentinels (and the Von Damme bots) are being treated.
Staff have discussed it, consulted members for their opinions and feedback, then discussed it again to take these opinions into account. We have decided, that from this point on (and being activated retroactively, which will require some members to edit posts) pets,assistants and robots fall under the owning players protection in terms of god modding rules. That is, to make it clear, attacks made against pets (a term used to encompass anything under the control of a player that is not the player's character) are to be treated the exact same way as when attacking the character itself. This means the owning player shall decide if an attack hits, and if so what damage has been suffered. As is always the case, this should be decided with common sense, and staff will accept and deal with complaints of power playing/god modding just as if it had been done to the player character.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Magneto,
