REARMING TRAP EXPLOIT PC

When is the hotfix going to be implemented on the Rearming Trap exploit that is allowing groups to kill the bosses in VICP and VWGT in minutes? The DPS sneak, someone arms the trap the tank pulls the boss to the trap and the healer heals the tank while the trap bugs and multiplies over and over and over killing the boss in less than a minute?

Thank you below for the reply about console. I should have specified PC

    They instantly hotfix grind spots when they hear about them, but gamebreaking exploits are apparently not as important? It's so stupid too since everyone now assumes you are cheating when you beat it legitimately ..

    As explained on ESO live, only number tweaks and on/off stuff can be hotfixed. EXP awarded in grind spots are number tweaks, exploits are code tweaks. They need to shut down the servers for a Patch or Update to implement the changes.

    Saturn I completely agree with you. It was a huge fight in our guild last night with players justifying that it is ok to use the exploit because of the set piece drop rate. I was so proud of my achievements until I seen them cheapened by exploiters posting them in guild chat. I don't care who gets mad at me L2P. We spent hours and hours getting our strats down for Ire of the Storm, First to the Top, etc, and started to take other guildies through to hear "Oh you're not using the exploit, yea that takes to long"

    It usually takes 2-3 months for ZOS to get around to fixing a skill exploit in PvP. I outlined some previously fixed exploits in this thread.

    Caltrops bug - 3 months

    Lethal Arrow 100% heal debuff - 3 months

    Purge bug - 3 months

    How long did it take them to fix dawnbreaker or is it still one shotting people?

    I agree...I am still finishing up all my healer and tank sets. Then I will swap my NB to stam and start leveling trap. So I need at least 2-3 more months so I can get my exploit on and get all the stones back I have lost to bananas due to these little dandies.

    I know this though, I am no longer the scout out in front of the group going through the sewers anymore. That job now gets assigned to random pugs!

    I don't think the exploit works on consoles anymore. Before I would die to someone who did it but now I just stand on it laughing. I tried it myself and it didn't work on enemies nor players.

    I have some that bug on me and others that do as the skill is intended. I guess there are certain requirements to get it to exploit right. I found a really convenient one placed the other day as I was going from the nobles district down to the DC sewers with about 20K stones. Nice 5 minute load screen and I load into a death recap with nothing but rearming trap dmg and -16K stones.

    Since this seems to be the new meta, I suggest everyone go set them at any enemy entrance and exit points for free kills, cause I know I will, so covet your stones and proceed through doors with caution!

    The fact that you carried 20k stones with you through enemy sewers or just sewers in general... I'm not sure if I should call that being brave or stupid.

    Only had about 5K stones on me to start. The other 15K were my net spoils from a sorc it took me 20 minutes to kill. Got that fat loot and was making for the sewers (my own faction's sewers) to go bank!

    I was at the DC base tonight in the IC Azura's Star PC/NA server, here's what happened . . .

    1) AD grouped placed trap beast traps in the corridors near the DC base and they infinitely trapped some DC players

    2) Some DC players killed in this manner were glitched out and slid around on the floor flat in their dead poses just moving around

    3) A wandering horror got glitched at the DC base and was trapped near the corner of a wall effectively pinning some players near the base

    4) My character got glitched and I was unable to attack anything or enter the DC.base

    It was a NIGHTMARE! !

    If you get that many stones you dont run home lol you kill yourself or sigil out

    killing yourself is 10% but its better then losing them all

    So explain then why they didnt atleast do something when they took the servers down to conveintly push the glass motif in the corwn store?

    ZOS said they hope to have it fix with the next major patch on Oct 12 I think. The said they appearntly have to break it first by removing its 2nd damage and then they can fix it.

    Ad abusing the heck out of it? no it is DC abusing the heck out of it. Every. Single. Day. There's a group of about 3-5 blues depending on the day, another group of about 3, and two full raid groups that all they do is go down into the AD side and set it off. So don't tell me that AD abuses the heck out of it. It's to the point where at certain hours we cannot leave or return to the base through the sewers because of the DC exploiters. Whenever these exploiters get told they are being reported, or eventually killed, they spout off tons of homophobic slurs and stuff. It's gotten so bad that there are lists of DC being kept on a reddit thread, along with the comments they made, the exploits they used, as well as their ip addresses as well as all information gleaned from backtracing those IP addresses. So if you wonder why AD keeps coming down and cleaning the scum out of the bases, that is why. Except we do it without using the traps.

    The crown store item is already implemented in the patch, thats a simple on/off thing like the guy said.
