Cyrodiil exploit at Aleswell

SkaraMinoc · October 17

I've reported multiple players for exploiting this spot yet it still goes unfixed month after month.

To be clear, there is no way to access these platforms except exploiting nearby terrain to get up top.

Arcanist can port up there. Not sure if it's really an exploit.

That shouldn't be possible. Arcanist uses the same 3D trace line intersect logic as Streak for teleporting. So if Streak can't get up there then neither can Arcanist portal. Also you don't need to teleport up there anyways. There's another way up there via terrain exploit because I watched them do it.

Let's pretend you're right and Arcanist can somehow teleport up there. That's a bug and should be fixed.

It's funny that i recognize those players, they've been doing that exploit for a while since they play 24/7, gotta feel sad for them, gotta feel even sadder for Zenimax for banning people for tbagging but not exploiters.

Players have been able to jump into enemy keeps for years. At the same corner you are showing in your picture for example. There are plenty of other places and keeps where you can do it. Now that might count as an exploit, but this one? Idk. It might be annoying and stupid, but it's not really game breaking.

Just like the people running around big rocks, "using the terrain" until nobody can (or wants to) follow them anymore. You might not be able to kill them, but they don't really do anything except from being annoying.

The sad part about all of this is that we are usually not allowed to show pictures like yours in this forum, because of naming and shaming. And we are not really allowed to talk about most bugs and exploits at all. Because apparently more people would use them to their advantage if we were allowed to talk about stuff like that openly. But without public attention, the devs don't really stress dealing with these problems. So some questionable things stay in the game forever, because of a very ineffective reporting system. And people who paid attention in history classes might know that trying to deal with uncomfortable truths in secret and behind closed doors can become a very nasty problem on it's own.

So instead of banning players for "playing the game wrong" i would prefer to be able to talk about issues openly, so they will get fixed, or at least someone acknowledges that it's just a normal part of the game. So we don't have to be afraid of the ban hammer (aka death sentence) hitting us for stuff we might not even know we have done wrong.

Plenty of spots like that in Cyro & as far as I am aware non of them were patched. North of Chalman there is a platform in the rocks that also should not be possible to get to, but people still somehow are able to place sieges there. Arrius mine also has spot that can bug out the sieges & cause the siege projectiles to be invisible & with no effect at all, so that keep walls seimply lose HP without reason. There is also a tower inside DC homebase that only DC players can enter and it is often used to "save" scroll in an unintended way. Aleswell also has spot between front gate & lumber that trolls love to place Camp at and it causes every player that respaws there to be stuck inside a ground & unable to move. Stuff like this used to be lesser issue in the past as for instance you could use NB shade to get out of situation like this, but ZOS changed how shades spawn and it is no longer possible. I would be non-issue if with the same update they patched problematic spots like that, but of course, Cyro is neglected, so right now there like a billion of tiny issues like that. Too late to fix it as players are for the most part no longer interested in Cyro PvP, with only a couple of players left.
