Bug abuse

[Slinker]

Ok , first off this is the first time I've actually seen someone doing this and I'd like to know first if a 44 ment can solo dullahans in innis , that way I dont accuse but from our conversation it seems he was bug abusing . scenario , ment pulls dullahan , ment runs and jumps onto big rock , from then on I dont see the dullahan after it reaches him , but ment is casting over and over again till finally it dies . Could be wrong but it certainly looked like it ended up in the rock . When I asked the guy about it , he replied "well the mob is a bit too hard" so I said it's a bit too hard so you cheat ? turns around but he'd ran off . So all you 44 ments , are they soloable ? .Like I say , once on that rock he did'nt move until it died , then he'd be off to pull another . Got screenies of it happening and from the conversation but theres a chance it was'nt abuse .

Seen lots of this type thing in hib, especialy at walking rocks, seems rangers or anyone with ranged attack, can jump on rock. If rock is high enough mob simply cant reach you so your free to keep blasting it. Long as you didnt screen jump to get up there then supose its not your fault mythic cant code a mob smart enough to climb a bloody tower but to dumb to jump!

I really don't see that as bug abusing, but hey, just word from a fellow ment

Like soullessminion already pointed out it's not your fault if Mythic can't code it right.

 

[-yoda-]

imo its bug abuse plain and simple its exactly the same sort of scenario to the advisors in barrows . u can attack/nuke the feck out of them and they cant get top you . Gao reaslied this was bug abuse and took measures to stop it . and also stated they wil watch for people abusing this bug and take action against them .

p.s @ Main poster . please send the screenshots etc etc to rightnow and get the bug abuser in trouble . all cheats/bug abusers need be gotten rid of

tbh i disagree that this is bug abusing but, to put the record straight it is not the mob coding it is the landscape coding. afaik from testing the bug myself at rocks with my lvl50 bard (no flames plz as i did not benefit ).

theres loads of places in hib where you can do this.....

I was just checking this out for myself... just to see if the rumours were to true....<coughs>

Rofl.... dampwood mites... the ones before inniss near merchants camp.... there is one of those stones that you can jump onto (same stone as the greenbarks in gorge, cut'n'paste) and mass pull dampwoods... to my surprise though I climbed up on stone and stood in the middle of it, then without moving I fell through and landed in the siab city right next to the queen.... I didnt fall through a crack either, cuz I tested it again... mythic have stuck a big hole in the rock to piss the cheaters off....

There are loads of em about.

Another on is the DF portal in Connacht.

Recently saw 3 people stood on top killing the demons without being touched. Told em to get down or I would screenie and report em. Was then flamed for 20 minutes by some ex-Pryd Alb who told me that in Albion on Prydwen everyone abused bugs and helped each other!

I don't like bugs in the game and do my damnedest never to use them.

What is with the Holes in Corus Mines Cjkace, dont tell me you never used them to get quick out of there after your long hunting sessions.

And guess it isn't our fault that mytic made it so you could stay in walls in RvR and hit people (or brigde in BG) - so we can do that also.

well there are bugs in this game, and there will allways be!!!!

But it is quite easy to see if it is a bug or not, and when you find out that there is a bug, then report it to a member of the E&E team. That way they could pass it on to GOA and get most of them atleast fixed. Like if you jump on a rock and no mob can reach you, you are hopefully smart enough to see its a bug!!

Or report it through RightNow....

If yer getting xp without being touched (and yer not bolting greens ) then it's probably something dubious

 

[Slinker]

So how do you find out who the Eyes and Ears team are ?

will be posted on http://www.camelot-europe.com very soon

If a character can stand somewhere and pull a mob from where it cannot reach him and hit him, he is exploiting a bug - bug in the monster AI or bug in the landscape geometry, whatever - which is cheating and is explicitly against the rules.

http://www.camelot-europe.com/en/infos/ccomport.php

Players undertake not to make use of any bug, not to use any undocumented functions and not to exploit any possible design faults. Players also undertake to notify the presence of any bugs, undocumented functions or design faults they may discover to GOA personnel as soon as possible.

You'll hear the following excuses: "It's not my fault, it's Mythic's fault for crappy coding, I'm just playing the game the way it is," "I didn't know it was cheating to stand where they couldn't get you," "it's not hurting anyone so it's not cheating," and my favourite, "Mythic made it too hard to level so I'm just evening things up." They are all equally pathetic, and don't believe it for a moment if someone tells you they didn't know they were cheating... more likely than not they had to cheat (probably by screenshot-jumping) to get there in the first place.

It didn't used to be possible in DAoC, really, since no matter where you stood, mobs could always warp up to within melee range like superman and start bashing you. But based on the recent increase in complaints about people doing this and the increased number of gravestones I've noticed on top of every big rock and half the buildings in Hibernia... because it doesn't work perfectly every time - I would say that something has changed in recent game code that makes monsters less able to zap through walls and up to the top of a rock or building to get at you. My guess is that Mythic altered the code somewhat to try to make it harder to send pets into places they shouldn't be able to go in RvR, which has always been a big area of player complaints.

Anyways, if you see someone doing it just get a screenshot, write down their name, the time and the /loc, and send it to RightNow. They'll get warned, and if they keep cheating, they'll get their account closed. And one word of caution to people who like to exploit this bug: I saw on the French DAoC forums people complaining that the top of their favourite Hibernian hunting rock had suddenly turned into a magical one-way teleport to the middle of a siabra spawn in the Bog of Cullen. I have never heard of Mythic doing that, it's a very GOA solution, so if you like to cheat, don't be surprised if you get to visit some high level zones of Hibernia a little earlier than you were expecting.

Hehe as I said I do my absolute best not to use em.

I stopped using the infamous hole the day they made it possible to solo your way out. The thing about that hole is that it can be used by every single person where as exploiting ingame terrain is only by a select few.

Ok, let's be clear on this...

Using the so-called "magic rocks" IS against the CoC and you can be suspended/banned for this. If you see someone using such cheap tricks, please:
- Grab the /loc and the zone.
- Grab the name of the player, time & date.
- Report everything in RightNow (the /loc, the zone, the player, the time & date, etc).

 

[noob_pride]

kemor forgot one thing.. Grab em by the balls and pull hard.

 

[Flimgoblin]

nah that's what GOA do
