    i'll try keep it simple and short and on topic:

    it's an exploit

    you amongst others exploited it for purely selfish gains, not to report it to ZOS as you hint at in later posts

    devs have commented on it

    it's being fixed

    end of discussion

    short, sweet and civil - no trash talk - just facts

    we done here? or we going to twist this around more?

    am more than happy to let the thread die

    "just facts"...ok let's see here...

    "you amongst others exploited it for purely selfish gains" - Please show evidence of where this fact came from.

    "not to report it to ZoS as you hint at in later posts" - please show where I said I was planning on reporting this to ZoS.

    "devs have commented on it" - This one i'm not 100% sure, since the only 2 comments i have seen are from Brian and Jessica, which I thought they were more customer relations than dev's, but i'll go ahead and give you this one.

    "It's being fixed" - Now I know there were comments, and they would look into what was going on, but I don't recall them saying this is currently "being fixed", so unless you have inside information that others don't, please give evidence of where they said this particular issue is in fact being worked on.

    Out of the 5 "facts" I only see one possibly being an actual fact, but I'm pretty sure even that one is not a fact.

    *sigh*

    am done here - wish you nothing but safe travels and much fun in the game - in case you think it's some kind of 'victory' for you, add up the 'agree' and 'awesome' for each of us

    goal was to get devs to acknowledge and work on fixing it - mission accomplished

    be well

    D.

    p.s. you might want to be aware that Brian Wheeler is the LEAD PvP dev for the game - but you're right - his comments and opinions must be wrong also since they don't match yours

    I wish you the same, Sir. I do believe your goal was accomplished. I wasn't aware of who Brian Wheeler was, but that is good that the Lead pvp dev is responding to concerns of the public. As I stated in a past post, ZoS seems to be doing well on how they approach things. His comments and opinions are not "wrong". Even if they don't match mine, it's ok as someone in his position will be one of the main people involved in making changes (for better and for worse" for the game.

    I don't consider anything a "victory". Again these "agree's" and "awesome's" you point out do not matter to me.

    Someone posted a video with me being the key point, with multiple people attacking said video/player so I stepped in to give my thoughts and opinions on the situation, nothing more.

    We are aware of many of the tactics noted here, and are actively working on solutions to them without removing the effectiveness of ability usage or siege weaponry in combat situations that are within the spirit of Cyrodiil warfare against enemy Alliances. There will be more information on this as they go through the entire internal approval process, and eventually get pushed to Live.


    Just to be clear, B Wheeler doesnt state pulling people into keeps is an exploit. In fact, I believe pulling people into keeps has always been fully intended. What they didnt intend for was people trading emps, and utilizing pulls as a means of effectively speeding it up.


    You guys are trying to beat up on Bigz in this thread over a minute issue. Fixing pulls doesnt really change the big picture. People have been trading emps with other factions on multiple servers for awhile now.

    The back in forth of different threads debating the psychology of these people and their intentions is nothing short of hilarious. The real issue is with the construct of the game. People say some players will always be cheaters. Id rather have these innovative thinkers challenging what we have to make it better than the people who sit back bitching about how people should subjectively police themselves according to the other persons conscience.

    If youre looking for someone to blame, its the developers. This issue, as has already been pointed out, was reported in beta, more than 3 months ago. It, along with many others issues, are still present in our game and acknowledged. Yet while they are acknowledged, there is not a clear stand point on what is to be done and when. This is frankly the biggest issue in this game. Gaping holes that go unattended to for weeks / months until a forum riot forces a poorly implemented fix.

    Im not saying I could do their job better than them, but Im pretty sure I could make better decisions than were seeing Zenimax developers making. Until theyre willing to step up and address/fix issues in the game, you can complain all you want. It doesnt mean a damn thing at the end of the day.

    well good sir, with the nerfing of DK chain pulling not only up, but down from walls, I trust you to make good on your above words

    you were warned in game and in the forums that those of you (I want to make it clear that you were far from the only one, and not all the blame rests on you alone by any means) that your exploiting would result in the nerfing of this fun aspect for legit DK's

    as i had stated before, I personally neither want, wish nor expect an apology, - but perhaps one is due to the people you screwed over with this nerf, the people you screwed over in the campaign you used this exploit in, and the people that left the campaign/game as a result of those of you using this exploit

    hope all you former emp farmers think your fake pixel title is worth it - because there's a good chance that is being nerfed also

    the stage is all yours sir

    D.

    p.s. once again proof positive that just because you can abuse a game mechanic, and not get banned for it, it is NOT equal to 'oh - it's in the game therefore it's intended' - probably amongst the most selfish, inconsiderate juvenile reasoning i've come across

    They did in fact remove the vertical. There is actually a discussion going on about it in a different topic.

    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/118784/you-lied-to-us-fiery-grip/p4

    I am a man of my word. Per the comment I made about them adjusting it, I apologize for using this ability for something it was not intended to be used for. I also apologize to those dk's that used it for other than how we used it, and are now not able to have fun with it.

    I would also like to state that ZoS has yet to reply to the above thread as if it was intended or not for the vertical change, or if it is broke due to the exploit for pulling through walls. if ZoS does come back saying they didn't mean to remove the vertical, i'll retract my previous apology.

    ty

    you were for sure far from the only one using this exploit, and as i commented earlier, received a disproportionate amount of the blame since few/none of the others using it in terms of chaining/being chained in this manner voiced their support of you and the exploit

    as far as i'm concerned the issue behind us, case closed, and hopefully some of the community has learned that just because something can be done, doesn't mean it's intended, or because ZOS is sluggishly slow at responding, doesn't mean they endorse it

    i respect your apology Bigzz and we're all square from my side

    As one of the people affected, thank you. Right now dragon leap is on the same road of destruction as DK reach. If players can learn from this mistake perhaps that collision can be avoided.

    I hope you will examine the epistemic cause of your prior conclusions about DK reach, along with the strict requirements that must be fulfilled before you will alter your belief, otherwise the situation will likely repeat itself.
