Bug exploiting?

TaCoSlurpY · August 2023

Why are people allowed to exploit bugs when it isn't costing ZoS money?

Why has this not been an immediate fix?

Arcanist bug of never dying...

That isn't an exploit. I daresay third party software was used to achieve that.
Also you will probably get notified to remove the video because you did not blur the name of the player in question.

FYI this has been going on for a while and you can clearly see these two getting down to zero health multiple times.

This is PS5 and it's a bug on arcanist. You can't do it on other classes.

Ok when the arcainst came out I've experienced exactly the same thing. I've fought a guy playing arcainst, his whole guild was watching our fight in Cyro and I've brought him multiple times to 0 HP and thought what the hell? I was thinking it's because those massive arcainst shields and skill that heals him when he gets damage under certain HP threshold, but now I can see it was this.

its not a cheat. It might be a bug, but they're not unkillable. Its like health desync. Ive seen it on PC, and i killed the player. But it feels bad not knowing how much health they have left.

No, it is an exploitable bug on arcanist right now. I expect a lot of people are triggering it inadvertently, and I’m certain a lot of people are doing it on purpose.

I know for a fact that zeni support has been sent details and video on how to trigger this 100% replicatable bug weeks ago.

there's far too many bugs with arcanist at the moment. (stun that you can't break free from is another one).

I'm not using my arcanist at the moment for this exact reason, too many chances of inadvertently triggering a bug and getting banned because of it.

ZOS really needs to get onto fixing the bugs in the class and fast. While they're at it, a slight shift in power from fatecarver to runeblades would be nice, it's a fun skill to use, but it does so little damage it's not worth running.

I'm normally one to blame the server first and my internet second but with more and more reports like this I can CLEARLY see that is something else. You were smashing them for 5 or 6 or 7k crits one after another without being blocked or shielded and it did nothing. And that's not even counting all of the other players helping you. Bug, exploit, hack, or some combo of any of those it really should be confirmed publicly and then addressed asap by the devs. No ifs ands or buts.

You guys are mistaken, this is just health desync. Their health is visually not displaying it's true value, and is higher than it appears to be, which is why they frequently sit on 0% hp without dying. Something on arcanist is commonly causing this visual HP desync, but rest assured this isn't a hack, cheat, or exploit and this player very likely cannot tell what their exact HP is either.

If you think it's an exploit then why not submit a ticket to customer support...🤷‍♀️

No, it’s not. As I said above this is a 100% repeatable, exploitable bug. Videos on how to make it happen have been send to Zeni.

A lot of us have been around for a long time, we know what desync looks like, and this is something else. And so research was done to find out what that “something” is, and the exploitable bug was found.

People who are insisting that this is lag or health desync at this point are people I assume are abusing this bug.

I don't even have the DLC to make an arcanist. I've killed the player in this video while he was health desynced in this exact manner. It's health desync.

There was another thread where someone did investigating. There is an exploitable way to do this, though some may be doing it unknowingly. No matter what you claim, an explanation of the bug has been sent in. You musta missed that thread. But now you know.

No you didn't. I watched for another hour of thier game play. Both these mfers got zerged by yellow and red at the same time and survived everything.

A few different people showed it was an exploit and proved it. They shelved thier arcanist till it gets fixed because dumb stuff like this kills the already dying population of the game..

When I see an arcanist run into a tower I don't even bother any more. The sheer number of them that I see getting whittled down to nothing and not dying is getting ridiculous. There was one in Rayles last night with some friends and I hit him with a coldfire ballista when his health bar showed almost no health. Nothing. No damage, even though the 3 buddies next to him took damage.
