Urgent Hotfix Required

zenmogwai

AD players are now able to get into the DC spawn area. They are ganking people as they zone in from the "safe" zone. I have no idea what the exploit they are using is.

On maps where yellow owns all the keeps they can camp the North and South spawns and there is nothing DC players can do but quit the game.

There are also no DC guards spawning at the gates to their safe zone (Alma etc). Bring the servers down and fix now.

That would be a sight to behold, i recall in planetside we glitched into the enemy warp gate and killed them in their sanctuary... priceless

ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Okay, so the only way to do this if the gate is closed is to have an enemy character pull you in. We're going to fix this as soon as possible, but just because it's currently allowing exploiting doesn't mean it's okay to do. If you see players from your alliance actively pulling people over the gate to bring them into your spawner area where they otherwise would not be able to go, please report them for exploiting.

While i truly feel for you and hope your faction recovers from this, i also think this is a somewhat funny glitch xD

To be clear there are 2 issues. One is no guards at the gate. The second is players in the spawn.

When I say spawn for the second issue I'm talking about the actual base camp not just the area behind the gate.

I'm pretty sure in the past I saw people hit an invisible wall when they were pulled up near that area. We have been camped outside our spawn/base camp many times on AB and I have never seen an enemy in this area before.

Why are you so upset, you got to fly!

On the serious side, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌, please have this fixed immediately. I'm AD and it shames me that someone from my faction has done this. This is clear exploiting and griefing.

zenmogwai

Confirmed they are not using chains. There is an area of terrain they are using to climb into the base area. You can see the corner in this image near the wall they are glitching up.

Tintinabula

I could not possibly guess which ADs are doing this..nope..not in a million years...oh wait!

This was reported by another player earlier was was told by the GM that there is NO safe place in PVP.

They are NOT being pulled up by chains. They are climbing the rock face and getting in past by going around where the wooden wall and rocks meet. I have screenshots of AD players doing it if needed.

Does anyone know if the AD players can discover the Wayshrine in the back of the DC area? Even if they fix the gap, it won't stop the flow if they can.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the details, Bryn.

Just so everyone is clear. It's only an exploit pulling members of the opposing realm into a place they could otherwise not go unless pulled. Every where else is fair game.

If all the walls and doors are still up BUT if they ever decided to knock them down they could get there so pulling them all in while they're all still up is OK!

It was an issue back in beta. They were supposed to make the shrines of an enemy alliance undiscoverable, as well as teleport you out if you were chained pulled up into the staging area.

I don't know if this was rebroken recently, or left unfixed and just not rediscovered until now.

Probably isn't widely known. I heard about it during the first Cyrodiil test weekend. Was a victim of it on the PTS before launch. Player doing it claimed to have reported it. I also reported it with mentioning the player just to be sure. It's possible it just didn't get fixed, but only found again recently. Again, I don't know.

Tintinabula

well that gate between chalman and bleakers has DC camped on the very highest tower..no way to get up there..how? Wabbajack

well!! we got little sounds with our death recap..guess we will just ignore the exploits!!

Ifthir_ESO

Saw DC doing the same thing on Bloodthorn in the Ebonheart Spawn Area.

Tintinabula

Do something about this please. Anyone in their right mind could have foreseen allowing the community to make mods and cheats as problematic. The game is quickly becoming a joke.

Pretty sure this is a non-issue. The way shrine is only for porting into PvE zones. The transitus shrine (sp?) is what gets you around Cyrodiil. Everyone has access to the transitus network whether you discovered a keep or not. However, you can only move around to things owned by your faction. So I'm pretty positive they won't be able to transit into the base no matter what.

Based on previous comments this isn't something that broke with the patch but something that has been there and only recently discovered.

The patch definitely took away the DC gate guards though. We used to have fun fighting at the gate and using the NPCs on Alma Ruma to compensate for the wildly imbalanced population. Tonight we pretty much just fought at our spawn. This isn't giving people much reason to continue logging in...

I remember being able to travel between the two wayshrines in your base. Is this no longer possible? Besides which, I can also travel to either wayshrine from PvE. If you could discover a third wayshrine in Cyrodiil travel to it as well should be possible.

Hate to burst your bubble... but there is plenty of ways to get into starter zones.

Anybody else notice that the DC mage guards at scrol lgates are missing?

On volendrung..its as if the mages on top of the gates have been deleted

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌

So why arent there GMs in-game atm banning exploiters like you guys did to PvE bots? It seems like ZoS doesnt care about PvP in this game.

Tintinabula

Reports coming in that DC are doing this to EP on wabbajack.We have DC in our rezzin area please [Snip] fix the [Snip]
