    The account's server has been "Unknown" for two weeks, since before PS2-universe became unstable. The topic came up 2 weeks ago, after which it was determined it was probably some sort of account for press or a developer account for server testing.

    Guys, you smoking good stuff? You'll never get to BR 100 in 22 hours.
    Cheater. Obviously.

    How does that make me a imbecile?
  5. Compass

    Ever considered the possibility it's a developer-made account where they gave it max level so they could let the press preview the game without grinding for 50000 hours to try everything out?
  6. Sprintfox

    Ever considered the possibility they have an internal build they test on. They OBVIOUSLY wouldn't do that on public servers.
    You should take more a look on FNOs. Thanks.

    Actually they do that on public servers and they have done that on FNOs.
  9. Sprintfox

    Simple -> No. Proof or it didn't happen.

    They cant test all stuff on their own servers with max 20 people on it.

    Sigh.

    Experience Points: 18886616
    Experience per Minute: 13979.73
    Certification Points: 642115

    18886616/642115 = 29 XP per Cert

    Experience Points: 18910003
    Experience per Minute: 441.44
    Certification Points: 77957

    18910003/77957 = 243 XP per Cert (7 XP missing due to passive cert gain per day)

    If it doesn't look like this dev-created char was expressly given BR 100 and an additional 570K certs to play with, I don't know what is. You can cert farm or stat pad all you want, but at the end of the day, it'll equalize out to about 250 XP per cert. The only way to bypass this would be to be magically gifted the remaining certs. Which would mean someone on the dev team was bought off... or it's a developer account for one of their reasons which they do not have to disclose, whether it be personal testing, moderating, or a press test account.

    Not a cheater.

    Devs do NOT use accounts on public servers to test stuff. And if they do, they would delete them. Otherwise, now that the ranked page is working again, they'll **** it up.

    There were a lot of cheaters already in the past (that was the reason why ranked boards were disabled) which managed to get BR 100 in under 24 hours.

    It has been removed from Miller according to the API dump. What does this mean? The Miller leaderboard associates SlowJerky as a player on Miller. The player, SlowJerky, does not associate a known server with its entry. Smells like an orphan database entry.

    http://www.planetside-universe.com/character.php?stats=SlowJerky

    Currently Online: No
    Server: Unknown

    Currently Online: No
    Server: Helios

    The Planetside 2 Stats API, which is still in beta, still has an erroneous entry pointing to SlowJerky, which is why he's been sitting on this leaderboard for about 3 or 4 weeks.

    Why is there still a reference to it? Probably because whoever made the leaderboard entry decided to only use the foreign key for a player ID, instead of also verifying if the servers matched up.

    Maybe it was their way of testing moving someone to another server without deleting their stats and their gear, which would be nice to do on a live server with an implemented statistics API. They wouldn't want to break anything again, would they?

    That could be even more probable.
