How long will ZOS let Dawnbreaker exploiting run rampant?

Lava_Croft

Come and guess while you all jump on the bandwagon and exploit the living daylight out of it. (And out of the Vampires you kill with it)

Tankqull

just for clarification - wich of the bugs do you referr to?

Fixed in Imperial City and then left unfixed for the coming 6 months.

Cannot mention because the thread will be closed. You know ZOS cracks down very hard on exploiters right?

Yeah its the new fotm annoying as ***.

Does it have to do with the smiting morph?

It's the one half of Cyrodiil is safely exploiting since ZOS does not really care about exploiting in PvP, as long as you don't post about it on the forums.

Leandor

Well, how long did the siege dot bug persist? I imagine about as long as that.

(I'm just shooting the dark, here)

Iyas

It's working as intended.

for you everything is an exploit...

The other morph is Flawless, so it has to be Smiting.

I have never seen an mmo company not address broken and exploitable game mechanics as slow as ZOS, how long as nirn been broken how long has sharpened been broken, they wait for these huge patches that even tested will still end up breaking things, that's just the nature of the beast.

In my 18+ years of playing mmo's most companies have hot fixes to fix things that effect the game play of others, makes me wonder if they are running on a skeleton crew. In the end who knows when this exploitable bug will be fixed, now that it is out in the open and people know about it might get a fix in the next big update.

I see what you did there.

olsborg

Fixed in the next incremental patch and then again in Imperial City update.

DoT hits instantly with the initial dmg.

Xsorus

Not really an exploit, seems the dot on smiting tics instantly while the dot on flawless tics like a second or two later.
Chances are if you are a vampire you will die to either

I wouldnt exactly call it an exploit rather than a very powerful ulti that needs some adjustment.

dsalter

Fixed in Imperial City update.

might wanna rename title to put emphisis on the exploit

Yeah, it's probably just a coincidence that the usage of Dawnbreaker has exploded the last few weeks. This is probably not related to the fact that it's a bugged skill that you can exploit to make it do more instant damage than intended at all.

Probably.

Don't bother. Users will be users and defend their game to death. Same "waste" with animation cancelling, macros, 25k proximity builds, blobbing, lagsploiting and all the other stuff. I only laugh at their ad hominem "arguments".

Kas

i prefer getting smashed with dawnbreakers over getting lagged to death with shooting starts any day

Docmandu

Exploit early, exploit often! (tm)

Francescolg

They DO NOT close every thread about exploits, as this one (see below), which describes how to activate magelight (or any "permanently active skill", DK, Mage, etc) without having it on the currently active skill bar.. (which practically means: one more skill on your bar, so that you effectively have 6 skills + 1 ultimate, instead of 5+1)

http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/186166/mage-light-and-weapon-swap

So, don't be scared to describe it. I don't think that the thread would be closed!

We get it, you don't like dieing to damage.

So perfect. Q.E.D.

I will still use the skill even after the "exploit" is addressed because it is cheap, high damage, AOE, and vamp OP.

Reverb

Forgot option for "Attempt to fix it in [insert chosen timeframe] but exacerbate current issue and/or "fix" introduces bugs to 4 unrelated skills"

tist

It's working as intended.

There is no exploit. Cure your vamp if you are tired of getting 1 shot.

You know whats really funny. To all you guys saying its not an exploit, then why do the mods delete the threads about it and send messages to the OPs stating that the thread is against TOS because it is showing people how to "exploit".

Guy that posts build videos... you know who you are... starts with "S" and ends with "pher" come in here and explain it again so they can delete this thread too.

P.S. I like your videos

lol.

Ezareth

Would love to at least get some ZoS confirmation that they're aware of the exploit and working to correct it.

TheElementalPlatypus

Exploits are practically a part of the game, the meta. You see in most games people tend not to use exploits in assumption action will be taken against them and they wont last long anyway. In this game people abuse them for months on end as they know nothing will happen nor will it get fixed until a major update (which seems to be like twice a year other than these "sound fixes" no one was complaining about)

This cannot be overstated.
