Scar Debuffs.

How does this work on the first two debuffs? A dishonest player who gets caught cheating gets 14 days (the Botter Caught! debuff) where they are penalized and - in effect - can't sail their boat at all, without getting sunk by even the weakest player. Then, the Scar 1 debuff is applied to them, and they get back 98% of the penalty, and can sail for a month with a boat that is virtually as strong as an honest player's boat? Is this correct?

Hello Dream~Crusher!


Yes that's correct.

they still get to sail around and take items and event points and get last shots away from the rest of us

 

Thank you for the reply back. I thought about this a bit more: so when a player gets penalized the first time, they, in effect, get about a 6-week penalty (the Botter Caught! debuff for 14 days, followed by the one month Scar 1 debuff), right? The reason I wanted to be sure I understood this, is I thought (after making my post) that maybe the Botter Caught! debuff was only for the first time a player gets caught, and the Scar 1 debuff was only applied after a second occurrence. But that is not the case, if I understood you correctly.

I know this is a sensitive topic, so I only want to add that I wonder why the "Botter Caught!" penalty (which is appropriate in punishment intensity) is not kept for the full 6-week period, but is lightened so much after 2 weeks? Do you have any idea? (I wish the penalties were much more severe; these players who are caught cheating are virtually unaffected with the Scar 1 debuff).

 

Hello Dream Crusher,

Everything is described in detail within this thread -> https://board-en.seafight.com/threads/scar-4-debuff.184362/

Since there is nothing further to add on the subject of debuffs I will close this thread.
