Can we have an official statement on the VAS+2 cheese/glitch already?

EL3ZD33 · May 2018

Can we have an official statement already? This is ruining your game. Fix it or at least say something. [Snip]. This obviously hasn’t got enough attention yet. Pug developers.

Vinegar vs. honey.

I know I sure am motivated by being flamed. Plus, doing that gives them a great excuse to just shut down the thread.

EL3ZD33 · May 2018

At least we know they read it then.

If you've found a 'game-breaking' exploit, do the following:

Message a ZOS employee, (IE ZOS_GinaBruno) using the Message function (Your Profile -> Inbox ->New Message)

Describe the issue in as much detail as possible, how to recreate it, etc.

Do not expect an immediate reply, but that will likely get read.

DO NOT, post it on General Discussion, as you will only cause more players to become intrigued and aware of the exploit (myself included), which may lead to more players abusing said exploit.

Most likely they will get fair and resonable bans!

JK. Perma bans or nothing at all!

Pixel_Zealot · May 2018

What's the exploit? I don't plan on exploiting 'cause perma-bans hurt, just curious.

Let them exploit it.

The more these players are banned, the more stable the game gets.

I don’t expect them to do anything, it’s the forums where their posts are 0.001% of total posts and it’s zenimax, that’s why I’m here trying to cause an uproar. To make it known. Plenty of people have ‘messaged’ them directly. What are they going to do about it.

Go take your scripted corporate statements elsewhere. I don’t care who knows, enough do already. DO NOT tell me about boring crap which hasn’t worked so far.

I want a statement of acknowledgement which they have failed to provide for a couple of weeks and multiple forum threads based on prior reading.

The exploit is getting outside the map and caltrops sniping Olms while avoiding mechanics for a +2 clear granting the achievement skin, title and perfected weapons that you would for a regular hardmode asylum sanctorium clear.

Yesterday our guild experienced some major bugs while farming vAS.

Basically when we started HM everything was lagging and we had a couple of disconnects etc. which lead to a wipe. Because the tank was inexperienced we decided not to reset and just practice a bit. When we engaged the boss again we got him down to 75% without any mini bosses spawning. Only then did the POISON BOSS spawn and Felms remained absent for the duratiob of the fight. There was also no execute phase, no fire spawned.

Everything was lagging horribly and nobody was able to die somehow, except for 1 or 2 people. Once the boss was dead we got perfected weps so it must have registered as HM. All of us already had the skin so we didn't get it through exploiting but if this is a regular occurrence it greatly devalues the HM achievement.

Honestly i don't care either way.. If people exploit and lose their accounts more power to them.. if they exploit and get away with it more power to them..

Cheating in a virtual game is just dumb imo.. defeats the purpose of gaming, but again i don't care either way.

This is still a thing

I agree

Rawkan · May 2018

They're obviously aware of it and the same thing will happen as the other times, everyone will be banned in a wave when they're ready to fix the issue.

Yes they are very much aware, I personally contacted them about it weeks ago before it became this bad.

But it needs to be addressed in an official statement such as last time:

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/380210/response-to-the-veteran-hard-mode-asylum-sanctorium-trial-exploit-nov-10

Especially considering their new tougher stance on these issues as said here

. This particular exploit and the repercussions were particularly severe (unlocking an extremely difficult-to-get achievement and reward.) We also recognize that we have gone too easy on cheaters/exploiters in the past. (But not bots - bots get nuked on the first offense.) We're taking a stance to crack down harder, especially when the exploit is as deliberate and severe as this one was.

Isn’t it sad that you have to resort to that?

Massive problem on PS4 eu as well.. I’m just going to keep upping the threads until this is responded to by someone official because it’s unacceptable...

Thank you for your service, this needs to be addressed already

SASQUATCH0 · May 2018

I’ve already reported multiple people, hopefully they see the massive influx of cheater reports

Nope keeping it at the top

Hey, wow, last month this happened to my guild too! Only we stopped the fight, reported it, and restarted the instance like a group of ban-fearing raiders ought to have done. Not out of some unusual sense of righteousness, but just plain fear for our accounts that we had been in the presence of a possible exploit. We hadn't gotten skins yet though, nice to know it would have ruined our progression if we had completed... as we suspected might happen.

On topic, man, there's always something day-1 huh? Glad I was asleep for this one. I might've gotten pulled into such a run without being told what was to happen, had I been online without being warned first.

And what do u think killing the boss without him even moving by only using caltrops does to the HM achievement?

In what way is this ruining the game? How exactly does this impact or take away from your experience? If you're going to let other people have so much power and impact over you, you should definitely stick with single player games. MMOs are not and should not be bent to the will of player who claim that the gameplay and style of play of other people impacts them when they are in no way being infringed upon. The game has other issues to worry about than banning people who others claim are exploiting. If people like you ran the world it would be all complaining and no real work being done. If you dont like something, dont do it. It really is that simple.
