Exploit : People going into outposts through doors when walls are not breached

Kupoking · April 2015

Just saw an enemy player use chains into a guard that is targetable through the postern door to get into the south-west side of Nickel

Blame ZOS, but then again this post will be removed in a few minutes gg.

Nothing new, it's been like this since uh.. launch. The only difference is now w/ the change to chains, DKs can pull themselves in there instead of being limited to NBs ambushing.

they must've been sneaky.

I once saw a few players (red and blue) jog in and out of the northeast corner of Aleswell at ground level. It was so odd watching characters run toward the wall, do a little jump and then go through the wall both ways, that I thought there might be some problem in the client-server communication and that in fact the characters were somewhere else.

But the way that the characters moved was just like they were trying to go right through that wall and all of them went right through the same spot both ways. Has anyone else seen this or have the lead toys from my childhood finally caught up with me?

the door on the southeast of nickel ... is not a door to everyone. It's more like a cat door.

Joke...
When is a door not a door ?

How about when your latency rockets to 999. That's a joke too :-P

PeggymoeXD · April 2015

Yeah. This glitch pisses me off. I won't lie, I've tried it before, but I never really found it beneficial as I was immediately focused by every player inside.

But when an entire group does it, then takes your outpost from the inside without you knowing, that's when it's not fair. @ZOS_BrianWheeler this has to be fixed. It's definitely a game-breaking mechanic and most certainly cheating.

@Teargrants never needed chains. It's doable with both morphs of Dragon Leap.

@PeggymoeXD the flags can't be flipped unless the Postern walls have been completely broken down, so even if forty people get inside, they can't do anything except camp the transitus.

And set up oils and siege all over to kill anyone coming in while sieging from the protection of the inside

possible but not probable of course

DK SCRUB OUT

WarrioroftheWind_ESO · April 2015

I brought this up months before when Ntel did it and I was cheekily told by a admin that they don't allow threads discussing exploits for fear of everyone else doing it.

But people BEEN doing it. They STILL do it. This obviously has not been addressed nor is it liable to be anytime soon.

With NB you can ambush through closed doors if timed right as another player uses the door. Don't know how this is any different that using DK chains (and, yes, blame ZOS for coming up with the whole "get pulled to target" thing).

You don't need a player you can do it to the gaurds on the flag

Hey now. Don't be pointing fingers.... Not like I solo capped the outpost or anything.

Walls don't have to be completely down. I think it was something like 60-ish% when flags started flipping, when someone did it to me when I was in an outpost

Tintinabula · April 2015

all they have to do is: Make a person invulnerable to attacks after pressing E to enter the door and make it also so that person cant attack..for like 10 seconds

Jumping to a player can be done but the bigger issue is you can jump/chain etc. to the gaurds in an outpost where no players are even present

PeggymoeXD · April 2015

There was siege outside, but I am 100% certain no walls or doors were down when it happened. Which is complete bullcrap.

kewl · April 2015

Happened to my guild this evening in Azura's. Bunch of EP cheaters thought they could surprise us at Nickel. We had a big party after that fight: scones, jam and tea. I hope they try it again because we like tea parties, cheaters always get a tea party.

HeroOfNone · April 2015

This has been around since beta, about the only way to report it is to record it unfortunately.

Still, everyone was worried about how Adding grappling hooks, ladders, and siege towers with a debuff would be game breaking =s

Arito · April 2015

So, zos... if we manage to get a video of this behavior will it be addressed? Because now I am camping nikel and waiting for you ***.

This used to happen to me all the time sometime back in 1.5. I would enter in a campaign but none of the walls would load. I could walk right through them like a ghost. One time I entered and npc clothing would not load, so all the keep guards were nekkid.

Kelleton · April 2015

If a target is unable to move, chains pulls you to the target. Working as intended

themizario · April 2015

Aw yeah. Going to go try this.

That is because the walls only have to be 66% for the flags to begin flipping.

DKs and NBs are stuck exploiting through doors.

Templars get to wait outside.

Sorcs just fly over the walls.

PeggymoeXD · April 2015

Killed a sorc that bolted inside Sej today. He was dumping oil onto the transitus shrine. It's one thing to exploit and gain access to an unowned outpost. Its another to literally grief oblivious players because according to the game, they should be safe in a friendly, unbreached outpost. Pissed me off so bad. I too had a tea party afterward.
