Exploits in PVP

Calrid · March 2015

Now I know there are probably none yet, and no I am not trying to troll all the decent players out there who are not looking for them so they can cheat. But I think in a good old PVP smash up their should be a zero tolerance policy to exploits, cheaters and the sort of hacks and *** that some players indulge in.

So as a pre-emptive strike let's mention them; hard to tell some times, some people are very good, some people are very lucky, but, before the exploits - which we all know are coming soon as they always do - start, let's proactively start a thread where we can discuss them, be they exploits or not. Just so we can keep PVP more exploit free than it otherwise would be. 99% are not, 1% that are deserve a lively debate on how to get rid of all the scum from this game, no?

Anybody who hacks succesfully operates on such a low key/moderate level that you'd likely never know. The ones that dont adhere to that are obvious and tend to burn out/get banned rather quickly.

So all in all, pointless thread.

Let's start with one:

Are DKs allowed to chain themselves to the top of keeps? I know, I know, it's smart use of game mechanics. My question is if it's intended. Cause if it is, why the hell was the DK's dragon leap ultimate 'supposedly' changed to the point where it cannot 'normally' be used to leap onto keeps.

Here's another one:

Is it intentional that Nightblades can use the skill Teleport Strike and its morphs to enter keeps THROUGH doors? Again I know it's smart use of game mechanics, but still...cheesy as hell. And clearly an exploit.

There's also another exploit that has to do with mistform which reduces incoming damage to virtually nothing, making the player immune to damage.

Those are the ones I know of off the top of my head.

Edit: Just remembered this. Does anyone know if the one of the weapon traits is fixed yet (I think it was sharpened that was bugged)? Or will it remain with us for a prolonged period (like the Nirnhorned trait bug was)?

There are some exploiters who cant be killed unless they're afk.

This appears to be acceptable so if you can find this build instant win.

I shouldn't be sharing this one:

Go atop a large keep. Spam equilibrium until you are almost dead and then jump off. Your stamina regen has now doubled.

Please do not abuse this!

Biggest exploit in PvP:

Get more than 20 people in a small area.

Broken PvP.

You are welcome.

this post is fail.

Nightblade Teleport Strike allowing you to glitch into keeps is a confirmed exploit.

How does that even effect stamina? This game is so dang weird. Scalding Rune used to have a bug that made buffs stack on you. People had like 20 igneous weapons stacked up on them. I thought that was weird but that one is even more bizarre.

We appreciate that the intention of this thread was to collect constructive information for the betterment of the game. Unfortunately spreading awareness publicly can also have the unintended consequence of causing more widespread use of lesser known issues before they have a chance to get fixed.

As such, we will be closing this thread, although we do encourage players to report any discovered issues through the appropriate channels.

We take exploits very seriously, and do what we can to resolve them as quickly as possible. If you come across any cheats or exploits we strongly encourage you to create an in-game support ticket or /bug report.
