    From what i saw (and i was there too when this happened) he was " following the boss" that was running in circles i the big road (since i belive a thing 7 meters tall cannot go in the small ones because of a script) , i've got the aggro (for no REASON...) of that boss many times and his movement are heavly scripted, SO from what i saw (again) he was following the boss while casting the ultimate, and in addition i've runned tru his ultimate many times and i was'nt taking any damage

    Skipping the rest of this argument/bug report... That boss seemed to chase me a lot when I was only healing. Not sure if his script has him target healers after anyone who has taunted, but I actually kited him for 5-7 min, until the opposing faction killed me, while my faction tried to kill him and I spammed Mutagen/Healing Springs as I got magic..

    He actually doesn't have a script, from what I observed. He works like all other melee monsters in the absence of a taunt, granting an outsized amount of agro for damage or healing done based on the distance away the attacker is from him. In other words, if you are 20 meters away and cast a heal for the same amount as someone else who is 5 meters away, you would gain substantially higher values on the agro table and be attacked in favor of the closer enemy. Like I said, there are some quirks, as well as completely-unexplained-inside-of-the-game-proper mechanics that you can really only pick up on with very careful testing and observation... yet another in the long list of reasons from gameplay to community and socialization, that I have long advocated for a more transparent UI to allow people to see the gameplay happening underneath it all :).

    When the facts are muddied with misinformation and claims to the contrary, it's smart to make the reality clear for decision upon. If someone's accused of shoplifting outside of a store they hadn't even entered that day, do you also feel them stating "I didn't do it!" means they did it, because as you said "a defensible position doesn't require defending"?

    I gotta say that I had alot of fun doing it as a solo tank, if you like tanking bosses that one in the pic is a real monster. And I would like to reiterate that the spam caused no lag, a really good improvement from the currently live cyrodiil where this is a real issue with ultimates going off in large fights. I believe its because the IC is sectioned into instances to keep the population apart, really good design choice. This would be a great buff for someone to get as emp but only in the city.

    Is this directed at @Attorneyatlawl ?
    I don't understand the thought processes behind the criticism he's getting here - he noticed what he thought was a bug, and posted a censored screenshot and thorough explanation of events... the player in question decided to identify himself (hence was not named) and Attorney kept respectful despite some 'interesting', unconstructive responses (hence did not shame). Feels like a bit of a witch hunt to me.

    attorney you still have yet to edit the original screen shot. It still shows the player name.Standards apply to everyone or they apply to no one.Bottom most left hand corner in blue.Your intent may have been noble in cause but the execution has a flaw yet to be rectified.

    I think you missed the point.

    The point is that an Ambassador like @Attorneyatlawl has no power (and since i've named him he can confirm this).
    Right now the "name" of the player is hidden and it will cause no more problems but no... you have come here to tell evryone that it was you.
    I belive that if you don't do this anymore it will be no problems and the only "person " you should worry about is @zos i personally don't care.

    At this point just send a PM to @ZOS_BrianWheeler with how you have done the "exploit" and evryone will calm down...

    Huh?

    No one is saying you are not 'allowed' to do anything. No one is stopping you from coming in here and flinging poo instead of being constructive and reassuring the community that you reported an exploit you found.

    I was simply pointing out that all this drama could have been avoided if you had simply stated that you reported the exploit, since you did choose to participate in the discussion and identify yourself.
