I happen to think orbs are not implemented very well to begin with (the bonuses they give are far too powerful) but with the absolute epidemic of fly hackings letting single individuals in a couple minutes ruin the balance of wuvwuv for three entire servers…some sort of immediate emergency action must be taken.

Just disable the orbs and leave them disabled until a method to deal with the hacks can be found.

I would also like it if the downtime could be used to make the orbs have a bonus that doesn’t lend itself so well to snowballing.

Also, when orbs do come back, it should say in map chat the name of the person who has picked up the orb, so that in the future the specific people exploiting (if future exploits are found) can be reported.

As it is people can generally only blame a whole server, which is not ideal.

Hi Vorpal.

Thanks for your contribution. However, at the moment the dev team does not contemplate the solution you are proposing.
