GottaGo

Since we are in the roleplay section i would suggest focusing on your character first : - Who is it ? What does he do ? What are his goal and his situation right now ? - Once you start to have a vague idea, go to some RP room and figure out why you character would be here. - Then simply play it like that and engage others players. It could be a businessman trying to buy some property in a city map who got robbed on his way and will go to the police station to fill a complain. Then he will go to the local bar to take a drink and will ask a local girl for her phone to call an associate. Whatever give you reason to interact with others players and tell a story, somehow. If you just go to others character like "Hello, how are you ?" it might seems a bit weird.

Hello, I don't know if this have been talked before, but it would be nice to be able to wear the existing coat over other clothes. Maybe making it an accessory somehow, who hide dress / and top clothes when worn, but make them appear when you take it off ? With the infamous DLL, it was possible to use the coat with normal pants and it was pretty nice. Now it somehow require to mimick a pant with the existing stockings and it doesn't work that well (And when you remove it you only wear your bras). I feel like it would be way more used if you were able to wear clothes under it.

Your room should be located under -7meters and you need to move the sea level under this as well. The name will then disappear

Yup. There is only d100, d6 and d12 right now but it cover a lot of things already

This is a public test server. This means there is client side issues that will be fixed through patching and might not require to patch server side. And there is server side issues which need to stop the server, fix it and make it run again. This server wasn't ready at all. They rushed and do their best to bring the game back after some malevolent people damaged the old one after DDoS again and again. Right now you play for free, and yes there will be a bit of troubles over the required time to fix everything. Just be patient and give them some time. The server is already more stable than what it used to be.

If you want my opinion. Yes they will find a way. Some big companies have been struggling for three months with things like that without being able to do anything. They just need time. They took a risk to make the game available again as fast as possible. They probably should have waited a bit longer and take time to finish everything but they did their best to make the game available again. Complaining on the forum again and again isn't helping anyone. You can't play while theses guys are losing their business and doing their best to fix it. They are probably under a lot of pressure already and you are certainly not helping in anyway. Give them time, they will figure out something. They are a small team and they have an awesome game. People with absolute no IT knowledge can keep arguing as they want, but i don't think they are that unprofessional.

Thank you. At least one interesting and smart post on the subject.

Don't have enough time unfortunately, but the idea is great You can also use : https://rolz.org/ for the dice rolls, it works pretty well and handle easily the various dice rolling required for such a game.

They moved in emergency on the new server, without having any time to make further tests or adjust settings and you are already complaining again. And it have nothing to do with server security, DDoS doesn't work like that.

Whatever solution we can think about is irrelevant as long as we don't know what really happen and have more details.

I wonder though if MF poses and MM poses are compatibles, it depend if the avatars are rigged the same way. If so, programmatically, they could "force" the gender of a female character to male (or TG or whatever) when they wear a strapon or cock. And simply refresh the available poses. Should not be that hard to do and would be pretty efficient. Only the developers know here.

The most of the work isn't on the gender itself i think. But the way the gender is handled over poses. For each poses, the gender of the character is defined and you need to have gender who match the availables poses. If there is a male and a female, you have all the MF poses availables. If you had another gender, you have to rework all the poses settings to handle this third gender. Which mean disabling some for female today, and restricting several poses for TG. And then if you keep the flesh strapon, you need to disable the way it automatically appear when you play a woman. Otherwise the problem will be the same. Another way to handle that is simply to disable the active role in "lesbian" poses when you don't wear a strapon.

It's a game. What happen in a game, between pixels is a small disturbance. Losing your job or having a serious disease is a big disturbance. If it was only adding something to the game i will agree with you and would have voted for it. But there it's going to remove others players fun. Otherwise, if they are going to rewrite an important part of the game, which might not happen, they could put a "Disable futa" option. That would lead to the same thing for players like you, and let others players keep having their fun. But again, that might mean a pretty long time with absolutely no others updates.

I voted against it, mostly for the cons : "Some people with futa fantasy will not be able to grow a cock in the middle of the sex or switch futa/female in general." I hate it when a cock appear suddenly out of nowhere unvolontarly, but i have many friends which enjoy this fantasy and that would break the game for them (it's 10k to change gender). Another big reason i'm against this : this would require to rework the gender system, to redo / rework all the poses and would be a pretty big amount of work for what remain a small disturbance. I would prefer the devs to, for example, disable the way cock automatically appear for poses. It would require them to comment one or two lines of codes, and the main thing that would happen is that the poses might look a bit wonky because the girl is humping with no cock or strapon. But it would feel less disturbing. It would also be nice if the game was remembering wich character between two girls is the passive one and keep the good role in poses. I'm not sure it's actually what happen. Theses things doesn't take a long time to do and would let the devs focus on other stuff like server stability, more feature available for everybody and such, without removing any fun for everybody.

Not that hard to do. There is a few populated RP room, like the Police precinct for example, where new players are welcomed and can easily fit. Opening a room with the [RP] tag and some theme, even if you are looking for one shot RP, also work. Tend to be easier and more efficient when the theme is pretty common and people can easily know what you are expecting of them (for example psychiatrist/doctor office or dark alley or whatever ).

Well, you are wrong And that's not an assumption. A lot of really big companies in my country suffered a lot from DDoS, and we are not talking about a game handled by a small team, but e-commerce websites with cache features, CDN, load balancing and the ability to ban others countries connection. DDoS have nothing to do with how secure a website is or isn't. It's about handling an heavy amount of connection. Either you have a strong hosting and an heavy server architecture able to handle all theses connections (which cost an helluvah big amount of money) either you don't and you have to find fixs here and here. An international game is probably the hardest thing to protect against DDoS, there is almost no way to put cache as every request is dynamic. Each IP send a great number of request as you need to refresh stuff like chat, players positions, players poses, so you can't even ban people when they are doing too many requests. You can't exclude some countries as there is players all around the world. So yeah, big companies invest tens of thousands of dollars each months in their servers. I don't think that the 3dx team can put such an amount of money in their servers unless they simply want to sink their business. They are working on this to fix it however they can. They need a bit of time and are probably under a lot of pressure. It's their game in the end, and the way they make money. I'm not sure that throwing assumptions like this one and constantly insulting them on the forum is going to help.

What lies ?

Pour résumer le forum en quelques mots : "Ce jeu est nul, les développeurs sont nuls, ils nous volent notre argent, on veut jouer ouin ouin ouin"

I love the work out poses There is a pretty big roleplay community on 3dx and all theses features are appreciated The way the game is designed open a lot of possibilities. Of course the sex part of the game is important but it also can be something else. I have absolutely no fun switching between poses, i don't find this interesting I have way more fun with RP and i don't use the sex poses that often, only when it fit in my character story and that it make sense Then you could tell me it's not what the game is about but well, i guess a game is always about fun and having theses possibilities doesn't prevent the people here only for the sex poses to enjoy themself as well

I agree with you somehow. Though DDoS is something really hard to counter for a game. Websites can resist using cache / CDN and such, but on a game all request are dynamics and different, it's impossible to cache. If the game was restricted to one country, they could easily ban all others countries and they would be pretty safe, but then again, their game is open to the entire world. You might heard from some others IT guys that they can work on the server architecture, they can invest in some system to prevent this, but this couldn't be compared to some companies who invest 50K per month in their hardware and IT team. Sure they could have reworked the software before to handle DDoS like they have done with the new server, but it would have take them maybe one or two entire months to do that, and then people would have complained again for the lack of content.

I can give you several reason for that : - The game is their baby. They invested time in this, it represent a big part of their life. Come on, 8 years. Why would they sell it just because some people are unhappy with it ? - You do realize that if another company wanted to do something similar, nothing is preventing it to do so ? I mean, several people have created more complicated multiplayer game from scratch. If this game exist it's because of the creativity and the willingness of it's creator. Another company might chose to bring the game somewhere else, like making the game free but requiring you to pay for clothes, poses and such. And then the 6 to 15$ you pay each month would go to 20 to 30$ for the same exact amount of content. I hope my answer doesn't look aggressive as it doesn't seems to be your point. Personally i'm more afraid they would end up giving up one day because i don't think anyone would make a game like this one before a really long time.

By the way, maintenance in IT isn't always something planned. It happens that a server get filled with logs file and you have to enter "maintenance mode" in emergency to make the server work again. Why some logs can fill entirely the server ? Because there is many abnomarl connections -> DDoS It's just some assumptions of course, i don't know what is actually happening, but there is plenty of examples like this one and having some unplanned maintenance happen almost more often than cautiously planned ones.

There is no good way to do this. Nowadays bots can easily pass for normal user. Almost anything in the headers can be modified, like user agent and such. On a standard website you will count the number of hits on the servers or look for suspicious country but the game client make a lot of hit on the server as it's a mmo, and there is no suspicious country as 3dx have customers all over the world. You can't even ban some specific IP as hackers use thousands of different IPs today.

I spent three weeks dealing against DDoS at work . I would help as well, but i understand why they prefer to keep players out of this. There could be some legal issue and considering how some players already react just because they pay monthly, i can't imagine how crazy they would turn if they started to bring real help. Sometimes the best way to help is just to wait patiently and don't harass people already in trouble. Also there is no way to know how serious this is, no matter what experience you have or how much skillfull you are. It's presomptuous to think the ideas we are several to have here wasn't studied by the devs already and they are just looking at the ship as it sink because they are helpless.

Well, 3dx offer a wide amount of possibilities. Several players use the dick on female avatar as a RP feature for all of them playing "fantasy" character. So, yes, the way it works today is really annoying. But starting to remove stuff because some players don't want it doesn't feel like a good idea. Though maybe a simple option in the settings to disable/enable this could be nice. But i personally prefer to see devs focusing on content rather than disabling some.
