Response to the Veteran Hard Mode Asylum Sanctorium Trial Exploit - Nov. 10
ZOS_JessicaFolsom
Community Manager
Recently, a small number of players discovered a way to kill Saint Olms + 2 (Hard mode in Veteran Asylum Sanctorium) from safely outside his room where he could not attack them. This is not only unintended and an exploit, but it cheapens the time and work put in by players who have legitimately beat this fight and earn a very difficult achievement and reward. As a result, we have permanently banned all players – 34 accounts in all – who used the exploit to complete the kill and earn the special achievement and skin in this way. We will not be considering overturns for these account bans. They are permanent and final.
We are working on a fix for this exploit, but we will not be able to deploy it until Monday at the earliest. We will be watching things closely over the weekend. After we deploy the fix on Monday, we will do another audit of kills for this fight. Be warned: we will permanently ban any additional players who use the exploit over the weekend.

Finally some rightful punishment thanks ZOS.
Also for those that do not understand it: there is a HUGE difference between finding a bug and purposly abusing it.Edited by Alcast on November 10, 2017 10:03PMhttps://alcasthq.com - Alcasthq.com Builds & Guides

Haha no. This was deliberate and you had to be trying to do it in this fashion, and know what you were doing was wrong.
You're blaming aerosol can makers because some people huff the fumes.

Nope. Considering this is clearly something that's beyond broken and nothing you can "complete" by accident. If you fight a boss and he misses a few hits, fine. But just clearing an encounter without the boss ever being able to hit you sounds like just too much.11 -

There is a nice little Terms of Service we all agree to when we join the game. In there we agree it's not their fault and if we abuse them we're subject to any punishment they deem fitting.Perma bans way too harsh imo.

It's very simple to not abuse bugs like this, and it's very clear when you're doing it. These actions are for the better of the game.

lol
The people who did this didn't accidentally exploit something.
They figured it out on normal and then went back and intentionally exploited it on vet HM.
And then some other people found out about it, got the details, and did the same thing. Some of those people are long-time players with 700+ CP who are regularly on the leaderboards. Who then were advertising in zone chats that they were selling vAS HM skin runs.
So on top of exploiting and getting a skin and title that all end game PvE guilds covet, they then tried to use the exploit to make a bunch of in-game money.
Can't imagine how dumb you have to be to risk a permanent ban for something like this.
But I'm sure they stashed a bunch of gold and gear in a guild bank somewhere and they'll be back by the end of the day on new accounts.
@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom it'd be a real shame if you guys took a look at guild bank deposit transactions from the banned accounts and made all that money disappear ... most of which was probably earned via exploits like this one anyway.
Good riddance. GG ZOS.Edited by LiquidPony on November 10, 2017 10:05PM30 -
Lascelly✭✭✭As someone on Xbox EU, I'm happy that you are taking this so seriously. The few guilds left standing are putting in hours to complete the trial legitimately and the exploit was just a smack in the face. Thank you ZOS!I do stuff, and things happen!

I know that we've very much enjoyed vAS HM, and I'm glad that the incentive to try the content and to push for clears won't be ruined by exploiters. Thanks, ZoS. (:Unfortunate magicka warden main.
