To anyone abusing a bug it the Barrows

[old.LandShark]

exploiting the wizards bug involves sitting on top of about 4 fast-spawning easily aggroed mobs. It's not exactly free exp.
And tbh who the fuck cares, I'm sure the mobs don't feel annoyed that they're getting stuck and nuked.
/em cuts the high-horses' legs off

and no btw i have never used this bug or in any way benefitted form it being used. But I don't blame anyone who does.

 

[quinthar]

*Sigh*

I'll stick my hand up and say that I have have used that bug for a short time 1-2hrs before I stopped but used it nonetheless, I have also used the hole in the wall and chain pulled, even pwr lvl'd.

If people are going to bitch and whine about a bug(s) in the game then you had better be cleaner than clean.

1. PWR lvling - Sorry but wtf is fair about this?? Its not natural its not right and its out of order. I dont see you holier than thou's bitching about that? What so fair about capping a lvl 16 in the barrows for 10hrs?

2. Just because many people use a bug does not make it ok for everybody else to use it.

3. Chain pulling is as fair as the Wizzy bug, as far as the game is concerned its not natural nor was it designed to be the case therefore its a bug.

4. Wall bugs, I have seen hundreds of people using them, both middies, hibbies and Albs alike, before GOA start being idiots perhaps they *should* fix thier bug ridden game and prevent these exploits. Not everybody is gonna stop doing it, in fact I saw people doing it there tonight, but I'm not going to shop them because thats pathetic.

So, there we have it thats the bugs I know about, people have differing opinions of the issue, but posting the fact that you shopped people here is simply attention seeking, you know it and so does everybody else, all you had to do was to send a message to GOA and stfu, but nope you had to post it here.

You were never popular at school were ya?

I used the bug for a couple of days to go from 49.3ish up to 50 (feel free to point this post out to goa if you so feel like it)...

Then again, maybe I wouldn't have used it if they hadn't screwed up the pathing of the advisors up the top so that they keep diappearing out of view all the time. I wonder if c0ngo xped on those addies at a time when the pathing was okay and they stayed on the ledge. So much easier to kill them when you always have a line of sight to them.

Anyway, who gives a monkey's...

the wizards bug involves sitting on top of about 4 fast-spawning easily aggroed mobs. It's not exactly free exp

I agree with Landshark about that... well, not the number, but to use the bug you do have to sit on a spawn point or two, hardly risk free. I died less times doing a week of trees than in the day or so doing wizzies. Funny that.

 

[Arthwyr]

Hmmm did you see how they "Fixed" the bug ... they zerged the top shelf at the advisors with, well, advisors. And they agro in 2s when attacked by a single player. Well big thanks for redering the room totaly useless for solo players. I used to walk the shelf smacking up advisors with my paladins for some drop requests, guess those days are finnished now too. Instead of fixing a bug below they add mobbs ontop so you cant get into a position to trigger the bug.

 

[c0ngo]

@Arthwyr when I saw the cheats the spawning was messed up then so nothing to do with me, and I've not been to the barrows since (IF I hunt mobs it'll usually be for drops in Dartmoor or Barfog where I last saw u, but it's ok I don't expect any thanks for a rezing u not u offered any ). There were 2 at the door and 3 advisors together in a few of the spawn points. The fact that u chose a class with no ranged attack is nothing to do with me either. A Cleric could handle that room easily solo. I seem to remember you working quite hard on ur way to 50 so don't lower urself by condoning cheating.

@quinthar it was u that I saw and ur a twat. The post was to show that GOA do respond to a report and to ask people not to use it. I guess ur popular at school NOW from the ridiculous excuses u've made for your actions, maybe when ur a big boy u'll understand what I'm on about or you could get mummy to explain it to u now.

@Bilf if u did it from 49.3ish up to 50 but died less times than doing trees then y do it and not a tree grp or just kill the advisors or even do the Wizzies from below, where I've never died solo ? And the pathing has always been buggered there's one advisor spawn that has always disappered since 1.44 not sure about b4 that cause I was only lvl42 then and had never tried soloing them. Quite what that has to do with killing stuff in the room below from a place where the mob can't get to I've no idea. Oh and if u feel GOA should know how pathetic you are go here http://www.camelot-europe.com/en/aide/popfaq.php and follow the instructions it's not that hard.

@LandShark while we were there 9% of lvl 42 however long that is and an advisor only spawned once on them but it did nearly kill the 2 i saw there, mainly cause they they were crap, but they were saved by a wiz who'd just arrived at the advisors. If u think abusing it is ok why not do it urself then ?

 

[Khalen]

So the advisors down below don't go up? Hmmm I've pulled some from below the stairs and there they do come towards you... Don't know if that's it (and frankly don't really care about it). There are enough places to solo very easily. Like at echo bridge. You see wizards pull Tomb Keepers from the other side and nuke them before they even reach the end of the bridge And there are many more good spots to hunt solo enemies

Not always which is the point. Sent u a pm about it.

 

[Arthwyr]

Uhm congo me not saying thanks for the rezzing had nothing to do with this, believe it or not but i am not someone who holds grudges unless some repeatedly proves he is a total prick. We had a chat group running - alliance chat was going and i was getting numerous pm's regarding recruiting so if i did not say thanks, nothing was ment by it. Add to that that we failed to kill mordred because I was lead thank, lagged going in and came back dead with one healer and myself already down on the floor without mordred even being scratched. My last post just indicated the inability of the game designers to fix a bug, instead they just make it impossible to exploit by adding a rediculous amount of mobs.

 

[c0ngo]

@Arthwyr I was joking I've spoken to you often enough not to think u were like that. Lag spikes on the Epics are a mare we lot out BT through LD on Afanc last night and got wiped

If they've tried to fix the bug by ruining the room then that's a shame but blame the bug abusers or the coders and not me.

[offtopic] Is this still the same Mordred from some time ago, because we had a damn hard spawn when we were there like 1 week ago. Even GoL tried it but they died as well. Maybe we should combine the forces for once to get that real hard spawn out of the way so further LB hunts can try Mordred once again...[/offtopic]

Tanx for PM Congo. Makes it clear now what you mean about this thread And I agree with yah.

Hmm, more than an hour or so of twees give me an uncontrollable urge to stab myself repeastedly.

or just kill the advisors

Pathing is now (or was, haven't been there for a couple of weeks) screwed.

or even do the Wizzies from below, where I've never died solo ?

Lucky you. I'm afraid some of us can only aspire to be half the player you are.

And the pathing has always been buggered there's one advisor spawn that has always disappered since 1.44 not sure about b4 that...

Hmm, one bugged spawn... All bugged spawns. Not really seeing the comparison here.

Quite what that has to do with killing stuff in the room below from a place where the mob can't get to I've no idea.

Where the mobs you're killing can't get you anyway (unless you lagged off the ledge of course), you seem to be ignoring the fact that you have to stand on a spawn point to kill the mobs.

Oh and if u feel GOA should know how pathetic you are go here http://www.camelot-europe.com/en/aide/popfaq.php and follow the instructions it's not that hard.

I thought shopping people was your department, I just made it easier for you.

The simple fact of the matter is, when you saw these two people (from your original post) using the bug you had two choices. Inform goa about the bug and let them do what they have to do, or inform goa, grass on people who are exploiting a pretty harmless bug and make a post about it on here so everyone can say how wonderful you are. Speaks volumes really.

Don't let me stop u doing that one less fukwit in the world is no loss.

Rest ignored cause it's already been said and replied to but read the original post and work ur way down (clue start on page one and work ur way down)

PM I sent to Khalen was explaining how the bug worked, as u've used it no point PMing u really.

<giggle>

You really are quite a dislikable chap, aren't you.

 

[c0ngo]

Added a smiley on previous post just incase u chose 2 actually do it

 

[Bilf]

Good job you did, I came so close to doing it on your recommendation.

 

[c0ngo]

Good job, but if u can't even solo Spec Wizzies properly without dying u'd have probably cocked it up anyway (plastic knives are unlikely to work btw)

 

[Javai]

Another thing about people exploting this bug is that they can get highly abusive to people sat in the little passageway pulling wizards in the 'normal' way, not a problem to have two groups there doing regular pulling only a problem if one group is bug exploiting.

I've had abuse myself and know of friends having same problem....one person even had the gall to suggest the room was designed to help AoE'ers level...the person I was with summed up the perfect response 'Presumably there's a room somewhere with level 50 mobs with AF0 and no hits for the tanks then

 

[elbeek]

Oh dear, isn't this sad.

At the end of the day no one can stop bug abuse. GOA produce a buggy game and if people are clever enought o find these bugs, then fair do's to em.

I think we get the idea that some people are pissed at the Barrows bug. Can we now move on to something a little more exciting, coz at the end of the day IT IS ONLY A BLOODY GAME.

The point I was attepting to make (apologies for not explaining it clearly enough) was that at lvl 45 (rough guess there) you used to be able to solo advisors as a caster due to the pathing taking them around the ledge, therefore giving you enough time to get the extra smite/nuke or two in, if pulling from the lower lvl then you didn't/don't have that time. Now however the pathing is screwed up top, which means more often than not you get "the target is not visible" message.

As I said tho, I haven't been to barrows for a couple of weeks now and, from what I can gather, goa seem to have fixed it, albeit in a cack-handed way.

 

[appollo creed]

You guys r funny

hehe, this soooooooooo funny, plz keep it up

 

[[BF]kate]

Way to fix the bug...

Just in case anyone is wondering, it's still pretty easy for a small group to abuse the bug, but it is pretty difficult for a single player to handle advisors in the old (nonbug-abusing) way. Just go to the barrows any night and you will probably find a small group camping the ledge...

 

[old.m0000]

whats worse, the person who jumped thru the wall or this guy who obviously camped at the wall waiting for ppl do jump thru so he could get a screenie.


You sir need to get out more.

You, sir, need to return to the RvR forums to support Karam.

 

[Killgorde]

Hmmm....

If I understand this right (confusing trying to cut through all the bullshit posted by "the usual suspects" from the RvR forum)...

...Congo has drawn attention to a bug whereby a peep can sit out of reach of mobs (once they get to it) and nuke all aggro without fear of retaliation? (Apologies if I have this wrong)

/salutes Congo for having "scruples" and starts an Albion "Respect List."

By the same token doubles the number of peeps on the "Albion Shit Shovelling Battalion Duty Roster." (We do have a few of the ASSBDR types in Midgard, btw. But thankfully unlike Albion only a few).

 

[quinthar]

fwiw forum DB was shagged and I couldnt respond.

From Congo:
16-07-02 09:46
Reported it last night and the two people I saw abusing it.
---
See Below!!


16-07-02 12:27
There is no risk in killing from where I'm talking about ffs, the mobs are unable to get 2 u, one wizzie can give 60 mill xp solo at 50 so the blue cons I saw using it were capping every kill with 0 chance of dying on mobs they couldn't have killed without cheating. So what if there are other bugs where u loose out ?
----
Afraid youre talking well out off your arse there mate, but then again we already knew that didn't we!. It is not safe it is not easy, the risk of dying is quite high, not specifically by the mobs youre killing, but by the way GOA have "fixed" it, and yes I was at Addies after they fixed it "not" before.


16-07-02 13:41
Maybe u didn't work for lvl50 Konah but I did and some sad fuk lvling up with no risk of dying kinda pisses me off (the mobs CAN NOT GET 2 THEM).
----
The wizzies cannot get to you I agree, and I will say to my defense that I was not there for long, however, it is not without risk as I have already stated, but you dont want to report that, because it makes you look stupid and incorrect.

19-07-02 12:07
@quinthar it was u that I saw and ur a twat. The post was to show that GOA do respond to a report and to ask people not to use it. I guess ur popular at school NOW from the ridiculous excuses u've made for your actions, maybe when ur a big boy u'll understand what I'm on about or you could get mummy to explain it to u now.
-----
Ummm, Nice, I wasnt there till the night you reported this "bug", therefore it wernt me that night. So, you have successfully convinced the rest of the forum users you are clearly lying and just using me to justify your point, I'll happily admit I was there, but not the night you suggested.

Actually I was popular at school when I went to it, I have to agree, re:Rediculous excuses for my actions? where pray tell was rediculous, the fact that I consider other "exploits" out of order?, the fact I dont agree with you per chance?

 

[Khalen]

Btw another note. Sometimes those mobs get stuck at the stairs.. Had that a couple of times when I was invited into a group over there. If you get in a certain position it will stick to the staircase and won't move on... sigh bugs..

 

[quinthar]

Pathing is so screwed now its insane.

I see mobs all over the shop now, half the time I just kill them to see if they have just lagged to totally the wrong place.

As far as I am concerned GOA have stuffed the Addies to such an extent that practically anything is fair game there now.

There is a big risk in playing there (Addies), contrary to what Congo would have people beleive, but that does not sound so good in his argument does it.
