In-game Troubleshooting / Re: Elements domains down?

« on: July 16, 2010, 11:10:00 am »

Your welcome... and I have no idea what the you are talking about. What the heck is a 'trace route'? (I must be getting old).

lol, open up your command prompt (on windows click Start menu>Run> type command) then type:
tracert elementsthegame.com

It will display every hop through the internet from your computer to the domain name, and how long it took to get through the hop. An * means a timeout...

For more info:

Cheers!

ugh, it's fine now...
I am using FF 3.6

But I did a trace route, and there was a blockage... here's the last few steps:

In-game Troubleshooting / Elements domains down?

I can't access elementsthegame.com or elementsthegame.net, they both timeout. Also, I have tried playing from kongregate.com, and it just says (after a couple minutes) "too many connections to the server"

My internet is just fine, and I know there was an issue with .com for a while, but .net was accessible, what is happening?

General Discussion / Re: Hacking or Bug??? ( duel with redowl)

So this game can be hacked as easily as changing the stuff on your own machine?

Isn't there at least some kind of data retention/requests from the server before commiting an action that is invalid?

(thanks for the reply btw)

General Discussion / Hacking or Bug??? ( duel with [REDACTED])

« on: January 08, 2010, 10:34:30 pm »

I just played [REDACTED], and he had a graviton fireeater guy and I killed it with a fire bolt. It had stats of 7/5 or so. Then next round it just reappears, with full stats +. There is a blank space on the playing area that shows another power up, and then it reappears as if I hadn't just fire bolted it

Then, I kill it 2 more times. and it comes back with full stats + another few points!!!

What gives???

Edit: Redacted the name of the opponent, who probably wasn't cheating. -Daxx
