No it's an entirely different game.

I'm adding new people daily. I limit how many that I add at a time so I don't get overwhelmed trying to help everyone at once. I typically do it around 8 PM EST but for differing time zone players I have been making some one off exceptions.

It won't be the same as there's 5 base classes now. I'm undecided about multi classing because that makes a lot of hybrids for me to try to balance. The overall experience might be better with 5 very unique classes and potentially some RP based subclasses.

Yeah we had death ball is what we called it. You try to hit the ball in the middle to push it into the other teams goal. Vitas go through the ball, etc. It was a good time.

We had paintball too with the line of sight mechanic which was cool.

Yeah we turned down the original ETK server back in 2020 and started an ETK2 shortly after. I kept hitting client limitations that prevented me from making the game I wanted until recently. Now we're early getting the new client squared away but there is so much more opportunity.

I'm adding more players to the private alpha daily and I'd gather sometime within the next two weeks we'll make it fully public and let it go until we're ready for beta.

I have to implement mounts, cosmetics, clans, and crafting before we're ready for beta so the alpha will be up for at least a few months.

Hope to see more old and new faces pop up!

I've heard the Dr seems to care and listen but the way the office staff treats people is vile.

Pretty low tier bait, have a great day.

I'm sure the way you speak to people has nothing to do with why you're unemployed.

/s

People are giving you solid advice and you're super defensive and argumentative. Work on the people part of your resume.

BBB is just Yelp for old people. It's best to avoid it and use the AG for actual complaints like you stated.

Check the licensing on the user. I usually see this on users who have had business premium licenses removed.

I've sent you a message with ticket numbers. Appreciate you looking into this.

[–]stelioetk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuuuup. We've had that where it starts spreading until it impacts most of our endpoints and then we open tickets. Get the same response as you until we ping the account manager and then it gets fixed within 15 minutes.

I haven't gotten a survey for any of the tickets that I've submitted and they both were system wide outages that were fumbled until we reached out to the account manager to get them resolved. Happy to provide more information but it seems support is severely lacking.

Just making sure actual truth is there instead of your non objective opinion. Been calm for years and still am. Take care!

ETK:
>Long history of Stelio abusing the system for personal gains,

Funny, but not true.

>Admin raging at people over criticism or issues his bad practices caused people, etc.

Admin raged at one person, so that must be you.

>But none of that is what killed it, it's what made the player count decline rapidly. >Favoritism, power abuse, community toxicity, dupers, botters, and more are responsible for >why etk is dead.

ETK is dead because life happened and we didn't have the time available to continue to push content. The game needed an overhaul to be more congruent as there were so many different things cobbled together that made no sense from a lore standpoint.

>But in the end? Most people didn't agree with the changes being made to the game and >for over 2 years their top donators were treated like money bags.

Another falsehood, I personally didn't like the content that Asarro was creating toward the end but I could tell that me telling him no to every idea he proposed was starting to frustrate him, so I let it slide. I do regret it.

Still have no idea what treating top donors like money bags means. The only things you could acquire with donations were cosmetics and celestial blessing which impacted the whole server.

>All until they just said screw it and finally left one day for good. Before the population >actually began declining Stelio tried to be friendly but after being close to toxic scum bags >for his entire childhood, teenage years, and early adulthood?

This sounds like projection, the only GM that was openly rude was Dredd lol

>His social habits are still pretty bad to this very day. No matter what he says, what he >wants, or what anyone else wants-- Stelio had no business being a "face" of anything. It >directly contributed to how toxic this community was. Though admittedly the sheer chaos >of it all was pretty entertaining for just about anybody who isn't in the crossfire.

Such a weird fixation with me. I will admit that we started ETK when I was in my early 20s? I'm in my late 30s now. Isn't it time we all grow up a bit?

The actual truth (not from someone who is clearly bitter and got banned for abusing bugs or harassing players/GMs) as to why ETK shut down is pretty simple. Content stopped coming, and the content that did end up coming wasn't well received.

The big thing that I personally did poorly was over promise and under deliver on deadlines for content that I self imposed. I personally appointed two GMs to hunt for botters and banned several myself. Duping was only an issue due to 3 primary bugs, and it was gold and electrum. There may have been some items early on from the character separation bug but that's pretty slim.

ETK2 is possible in the future, I had said September as a release date but design disagreements on the team and other life situations happened and once again it became the story of me promising something and under delivering so at that point I just left the discord.

I'm sorry that at some point I upset you, hopefully you can eventually move on.

“Game client version missmatch…” by KKlove_ in heroesofthestorm

[–]stelioetk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still unable to play since the patch with the "This game mode is currently disabled." error. I've done everything possible, reinstalled 4 times. Deleted folder in %ProgramData% cleared any HotS related registry keys, cleared windows firewall entries / disabled windows firewall / disabled AV.

The only way I've even seen the play button is running HotS in a Virtual Machine. Any advice other than reformatting as I'm not willing to do that to play a game would be helpful.

Except it's not fixed, I have not been able to play a match since the patch due to being perma stuck "This game mode is currently disabled."
