Midyear Mayhem Exploits

Altaire · January 2019

Anyone what to start a list?

If you have a list of exploits, PM them to ZOS staff so they're aware and can take action.

Who do you suggest @Turelus ? Gina / Jessica? Brian? Can you nudge anyone?

Obviously we can log a ticket too.

I'd be surprised if they aren't on the case purely from looking at data as abuse is RIFE this time

In the past I have mailed. Jess/Gina/Brian/Wrobel but that was about a skill exploit.
Be aware that Gina and Jess are not in the office as they're at the Twitch event. You can also PM me and I will pass it on to them directly.

I've seen the usual gap close into keeps while keep walls are all full health. The usual snipe spam exploit, some silver leash thing going on, some obvious AP farming and flipping. Swapping factions in itself isn't reportable, I don't think. During the event I have seen small groups to entire guilds keep swapping factions (they have #1 on both factions) to emp their guildie / keep from dethrone and to AP farm on both factions. They have the tabards on, and the @ names are the same so you can tell. They sit on a resource, share the quest to whoever wants emp and swap AP by flipping the colors on the resource, they just scoot away from the resource for a bit then retake it over and over. So for example #1 in blue and #1 in red are flipping the resources around and keep it up. They both emp in turns and to prevent dethrone the #1 goes to the other faction to help stop dethrone. Then their guild swapped colors again to farm the offensive ticks and to emp the other person. This has been around for a while, it makes fighting for keeps pretty pointless when people can just go take O ticks based on whichever campaign has the most ball groups or most people online.

What campaign? If it's one of the newer camps, that happens with emp. They go into a somewhat dead camp and emp trade. Happened last time and everytime before that.

That's why they need a faction lock until the end of the campaign.

I thought AP flipping isn't possible anymore ?

laksikus · January 2019

ofc its possible. just go around and csp ressource flags at 2 keeps. ahen youbare done with the second keep. the tick timer should have reset on the first

It's possible but not as efficient as it was at that one time. It's also against ToS now if it's clearly groups trading, so report them.

There is no snipe spam exploit. If the game lags it lags. It can happen with any skill.

If this person lands 3 snipes, light attack and a poison inject / silver leash instantly killing me then that's some lag isn't it? I know you can do a light attack, 2 snipes and a poison inject so it all lands at the same time, but really 3 snipes from stealth? On a 30k health toon?

There is some new thing going on where using silver shards/leash with snipe forces it to desync your health bar and you drop dead with no warning. It's an exploit that can be done at will, not the result of random lag.

Tinfoil is selling at an all time high as well.
