Aboooooooo, he means the water thingie, you move as fast on 100% as you do on 1% on the water surface and afaik its not abuse.

 

[shermi]

Well my english is not very good i try to explain.

When you are at less of 30% of life beging move more slow, but if move in the water in rvr not move slow, if you are less of 30%.

I think is a bug than some people use to run and run away (the most evident is Cylian than always make ).

 

[shermi]

yes

 

[eggy]

Of course it's abuse.

 

[shermi]

Well i report 2 m8s some times and continue in game, can any Goa or Mythic say if is abuse or not?, is for know if i spend my time to report or not.

Thx.

Sorry i delete the names

 

[Neffneff]

mentioning their names here will get you no where. except a closed thread.

Didnt someone get banned for this a while back?

Purposely doing anything which is clearly not supposed to be used that way, ie water bugs, bugged boats etc, is bug abuse. Get caught/warned multiple times and you'll feel the ban stick.

When you're low on hp, the game says you should move slower. If you are doing something purposely to move at full speed, you are bug abusing.

It's hard to prove that it's being done with malicious intent though.

Edit: Oh and people are constantly banned for various things like this - just that nobody finds out.

All I know its not a bug abuse but it is definitely a bug that some people tend to use all the time. They cant really ban people for swimming in the water or trying to run off with under 20% health. This is why I rather continue on my way than fight some of the people I know that likes to abuse all the other thingies in water too.

Some time ago there was someone claiming he was banned for this in US but not sure what the end result was if he got banned for that or something else actually.

Greetings,
Currently it is as designed although a fix for this is under review. It is not exploiting as a player cannot choose to move slower than normal.

That had NOTHING to do with that bug tho ^^ Atleast not according to Sanya and the gang.

If that's true then maybe I'm not thinking of the same 'bug'.

 

[Wazkyr]

Just today skald swam away from me at 5% swimming backwards.. would be nice if they atleast flagged the acces using bugs like this

 

[eggy]

The backwards-in-water thing IS a bug and IS abuse.

 

[Cylian]

nope

 

[griralith]

dont think mythic really know what the other hand does sometimes tbh...

 

[Cylian]

just sometimes ?

Didn't Ciliviel Civiliel whatever SB get banned for that? I imagine he did it a few too many times perhaps - I dunno

But I can see both points of view - in theory you can't do anything about it, but in practice - if you do it ALL the time, then yup - it should be classed as abuse.

no, he got banned for speedhacking or some other 3rd party shit, atleast thats what Sanya said on the Herald.

 

[Cylian]

or it was the reason he got banned, and being Mythic, they couldn't admit they screwed up

Conspiracy theories for the win!

Maybe it was just an ant ?

I cant see how they can ban someone for swimming away at full speed if thats what the game lets them do tbh without them doing something "cheaty" as well to make it happen - if you are low on health surely its your choice to stay or flee - if the game isnt coded correctly once damage has been taken then its their fault tbh - dont get me wrong I hate bug abuse as much as the next person who hates bug abuse but that surely cant be considered one - how on earth are you meant to swim slower ? just tap your keys only if you are below 30% health to simulate slower swimming?

Maybe its the currents in the water that keep people moving so fast - bet no-one has thought of that eh? Maybe Mythic are master coders at water current simulation !!
