Euro CoH : HeroStats forbidden to mention in the boards

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.coh (More info?)

Hi

Are the Euro CoH forum admins nuts or what? Somebody from NCSoft posted
in the German boards that HEroStats (he didn't mention the tool by name,
but the corresponding threads in the forums are gone now) is considered
a forbidden tool and postings about it will be deleted from now on.

WTF? What are they up to? Is that their idea of satisfying the user? Did
this happen in the English, French, and US boards as well?

~T.

It hasn't *yet*, but it may well happen sometime soon. It's not
surprising. On the American boards, it's already been explained that
it's verboten to discuss

- map patchs
- replacing annoying looping sounds with empty audio files
- using pigg viewers and other tools to sneak peeks at game graphics
files

because these all fall under the "no derivative works" and "no reverse
engineering" clauses of the EULA. (More realisticly, it's because
doing some of these things may mess up one's game install, in ways
that Cryptic doesn't want to be called on to fix; therefore, to avoid
the appearance that they support using these works, they forbid their
discussion on the coh.com boards.

Go to www.vidiotmaps.com, download the CoH map patch, install it, and go
look around. If you don't like it, delete the files. I predict you won't.
I'll bet you 250k Inf that you don't.

All the "patch" does is install files that the game will look at in
preference to the integrated ones. No modifications at all. You can simply
delete the files and you're back to OEM.

If they're the ones from http://www.vidiotmaps.com then definitely.
They fix so many omissions from the game maps it's not even funny.
