Unlimited Heavy Stacks? ZOS FIX THIS BUG!

xcaptaintjx · June 2016

So i was in a delve grabbing a sky shard and i noticed that the heavy sacks were re spawning really quickly... So i decided to go around the delve a few times... So i recorded it.... Apparently in Delves that don't usually have a lot of people... and have about 3 heavy stacks, find a delve like that... and you have unlimited heavy stack farming.... I don't know if this is game breaking but id assume so.. ZOS you should probably fix this before people start exploiting it...

Next time you might want to PM the video and information directly to someone at ZOS, rather than post it here.

That is if you are really concerned about this being something that can be exploited...otherwise it's just advertising the fact to those who will take advantage.

That's the way they work, treasure chests also. When one is opened another spawns, and in small dungeons, you can run the circle and hit all the spawn spots.

That's actually just how heavy sacks work. Was expecting you to be standing in the same spot for a minute power-farming heavy sacks, but this is just the normal way they function. Same with chests. I guess it's a marginal benefit for when you're farming up something like Crypt Jar in a dungeon and need to kill tens of thousands of monsters to get it to spawn.

Just curious, what add-on you use to show them on the map?

this is a nonsense thread. I dont think op is used to farming these.

You can go to most places in cyrodiil (underpall cave, temple distric, etc ) and farm them endlessly. Its how it works.

hell you can run AA every few minutes and get like 15 sacks right off the bat. I often do it as I use AA as my central hub between dingeons and crud.

As others have said OP this kind of farming is a normal part of MMO gameplay.

Now if ZOS look and see too many materials are being injected into the game via this they could adjust the spawn timers. Although I think that most crafting materials are so worthless now any way, only potion/poison, gold tempers and the latest materials seem to hold their value.

I would love to see them add more uses for materials so we have sinks for them and give them value again, but that's heading off topic.

They spawn the way they do because people are normally just running through these small delves for the shard/boss/quest (to whiten that torch icon basically).

Most are such short runs that though I have the markers on my maps (due to finding chests/bags on a different character), following others through (even when mobs have respawned) the bags/chests are not there.

Working as intended afaic.
