Just chiming in to see how everyone is enjoying the resort, macro users and non-macro users respectively.

Bragging about botting on the official forums. Nice.

Hi Masuke! You need to make sure you have the option in gameplay settings disabled; "Prevent Attacking Innocents", as mentioned before.

The instant respawn technology, intelligent lighting and very-easy-to-exploit stage area, has finally been patched.

@AlienDiplomat

I politely point out that I'm not bragging. I politely point out that I understand Zenimax's stance on macro users, I politely point out that I understand the no naming and shaming rule; which I personally couldn't care less for, because users will always 'exploit' something that hasn't a rule saying no.

I make it quite clear that the instant-respawn, intelligent lightning technology stage is easy to exploit, exploit in the sense of allowing players to get exp without even being at their PC, not through botting technology, but a simple left-click macro. Fortunately it has finally been fixed, as this area still provides huge exp gains minimal downtime [you will have to repair your gear eventually].

I appreciate your post and contribution to the thread, however I'm certain you're aware you could've worded it much more eloquently and sensibly.

Hi Teiji, i did disable that. But my attacks won't hit them. Did you try attacking them yet?? Or can you confirm if it still works?

As said in post 35, I apologise for not making it clear so I'll do so with this post; you may attack all the NPCs in Five Finger Dance - except for those which were easy-to-exploit at the stage area of Five Finger Dance.

Zenimax found it easier to make them non-targetable instead of simply increasing their respawn timers.

I dont even know which were easy to exploit. All look same... I play on ps4 btw. So how do i differ the npc's from easy to exploit and those that are still able being hit?

Masuke8 · July 2015

Anyone???

dlepi24 · July 2015

This works perfectly for me. As someone who levels alts up quite frequently for BWB non-vet PvP, I just keep my character here and run this daily for the loot and spend my time playing PvP. Once he hits 50 he gets deleted along with his ridiculous bounty.

Masuke8 · July 2015

Seriously how you guys do it? I cant attack any of those dudes and have *prevent attack innocents on off*

Masuke8 · July 2015

Anyone on ps4 can confirm?

Well that sure explains some of the EP we have noticed in Cyridiil lately. Lol, good job ZOS on this one, this is what you get for not keeping tabs on xp gain to identify outliers in AP gain in order to research how they are doing it so fixes can be applied in a timely manner. I had wondered how people with 1.5k CP existed and now we know. I never believed they ground their eyes out day and night rounding up mobs in Cyridiil dungeons.

BTW, with 1.5k people who afk ground it out you have a pretty big problem. I'll bet a dreague wax you fix this spot but let all the folks who used it keep the gains. That will be even better for them. Get 5 years ahead than close the door behind you. It will be just like the AP in Cyridiil where it used to fall from the sky at something like 5 times the rate and now nobody will ever catch up to the people who got there first.

I should also mention that this is all only a problem because the CP system is a really stupid idea. Reaching max character power should not be a several year affair because it discourages new players. You now have to run around policing XP and just one afk grind slipping through wrecks all player balance forever. It used to be xp grinds were basically harmless to player balance as all they created was more V14 toons not more powerful V14 toons.

My vote is that they should just allow grinding & NOT nerf ANY spots.
HOWEVER, if they are going to nerf even 1 spot (they have nerfed plenty) then they should put a rule in "any CP gained while at a spot considered an exploit spot" aka "a spot that gets nerfed", that CP is taken away from all players that took advantage.

Masuke8 · July 2015

So i think, that they fixed this on ps4 before release. You can't attack anyone in there. Thx ZOS -_-

Understanding sarcasm is not your strong point, is it.

By the way, calling Khajiit "filthy" doesn't match your "poem-like" writing style.

I saw no sarcasm. Only irony. There's a distinct difference :P unless your "really" was the sarcasm o_O
Sarcasm is an over used word, especially in that context.

Bag space is only 170? That's a bummer. Only 5 away.

There's an option to -miss innocents- or something... check that off. Kill civilians to your hearts content.

On PS4 they are npcs with green lifebar. I think you can only attack yellow lifebar dudes?

and now my bounty equals more than my entire gold gain in my eso exsistence..... yay?

Is there a bounty cap?

I was trying to pickpocket there without much luck. Then I started killing and looting so fast I hit "serial killer" badge in a couple minutes. _Then_ I noticed I had a 56,000 bounty. I spent a skill point to save 10% in order to pay it off. Whew. Fast & furious, indeed!

Yeah, I don't see the magic here either yes they have respawning mobs, but it seems more of a way to get a really high bounty, in a very short time

This grind is not for everyone. This grind is for the connoisseur.

Instant respawn technology.

Before I got bored of the routine, I used to do this on three characters daily - within an hour, on all three characters I'd have two days worth of stolen goods to sell. So within an hour for three characters 45 - 60k gold per day, I'd then relog them 24 hours later and sell the second days worth of stolen goods to the fence for 45 - 60k once more.

90 - 120k over two days for less than an hours effort. Convenience. Not forgetting all the experience points you'll get from instant respawns.

This grind is not for everyone. My fellow murder enthusiasts enjoy it.

love it. I wonder if it is still open for business lol.
I do the same in other places as well but its getting crowded i now have a 200k bounty and growing which i dont mind at all haha
