2h/Exploits and how they break PvP

sereneimp1337b14_ESO
Seems Legit.


Im really hoping the Banhammer is being tossed at people utilizing this exploit.<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020507/uploads/FileUpload/c0/27c18a0070819a248201d6db2047c4.png&quot; />

    Did you bug report it? That is what PTS is there for to test these things and fix them before they go to live.
  • sereneimp1337b14_ESO
    Yup, reported ofcourse. Just annoying when your trying to duel. Oh well, back to live!

    Hmm might be better then if found similar things to keep them to itself not risking getting banned on test server. Maybe then use later without being that obvious.

    What I find funny is that people talk about exploits and banning like it would be live server and that their quest to claim emperor or alliance victory is ruined because someone uses 3600 cp or has found exploit.

    People are ruining testing by oneshotting people who are out in Cyrodiil to test stuff, thus they get banned for it. Nothing weird about that. No one is getting banned for oneshotting a few people without knowing what's up, but after 3-4 times you would start to realise that something is wrong, then you report it and relog. There are people on the PTS who have been running around for hours oneshotting every single person they see, and continuing to exploit the bug further and further to get more and more damage. They are completely aware of what they are doing, so a ban is well deserved. :)

    No, it would be better if certain players didn't go around 1 shotting other players repeatedly while they are trying to test stuff.

    The abuse of bugs like this prevents people from playing/testing.

    This past week there has been about a maximum of 15% real testing. The rest is people bored of the zergs on live so they log on PTS to 1 shot people every chance they get.

    You actively see people running around and buffing themselves up on purpose to be able to do it. Ive given up on PTS until its addressed; its a shame they cant hot fix it.

    Funny you should say that, it's just what ZOS thinks:
    You're correct - an exploit is an exploit regardless of which server you're on. The purpose of the PTS is just that - to test content. If you find an exploit or broken feature, we expect you to report it and not abuse it, or prevent others from testing.

    We'll take care of this.

    Can someone explain to me the title of this post? I see that a Silver bolts was used as an exploit but what does that have to do with 2 hander? I must be missing something.

    It should. We're helping determine the contents of a patch that will hit live, with bugfixes and balance tweaks and other things that are more important than whoever just took Alessia Lumbermill.
