Downtime Notice: several exploit fixes
Jan 24th, 2018 at 12:05pm
Print Post  
Thursday, January 25th from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT)

Notes: This downtime will be for extended OS and server maintenance, in addition to a small game update. The update will include a fix to an issue that was causing degraded game client performance, in addition to several exploit fixes, which we will not be providing further information about.

So... if Cordo doesn't want to spill the beans... anyone else?

I have given up on the exploits. I never find them and nobody shares because people are retards who can't figure out:

A) Private Messages or
B) Not to tell everyone in the fucking world about it (See A)

C'est la vie.

Fire Caves will never die, the devs aren't that smart or informed.

I can name some great exploits that need to be fixed. There are ones that make items not work. Like, Purifying Quiver not working after death. Or a raid trinket not giving Improved Deception.

Or the exploit where people who paid for VIP have their subscription canceled immediately after their payment is accepted? This one is a great exploit! Pay for Ravenloft -> get your sub canceled. Dope shit. Abuse at your own risk!

Maybe the one where Raven's Bane quest becomes uncompletable?

Perhaps the one where the devs use an exploit with mobs in the new raids that abuse a non-evadable Cyclonic Blast?

How about the one where Meld into Darkness goes on cooldown but doesn't activate?

Oh, I know, probably the one where undead mobs in the newest paid for content are healed by positive energy?

Sounds like they are setting up the "all the server problems the last few months were caused by exploits" excuse.

I doubt they do this... they aren't server problems... it is lag... and based on every post about "lag" on the main forums the response to that from the forum paladins is that "it must be something wrong your specific rig/ISP/etc. because I play all the time and never experience this"

Simply based on the maintenance duration, SSG is diving deep into the database to modify/remove items.  It's about the same duration when cosmetic armor set bonuses were addressed a few weeks ago.

My favorite is the Lama bug, where the Lama launcher breaks and you can't fix it, because the fix needs a working Lama launcher to download. And just in case anyone discovers when Lama is actually open, complete reinstall doesn't work either.

Next to that, it's where they broke Quicken Spell, so your spells get interrupted anyway. Bounce house DDO is the only true DDO.

Then there's always good times when your clicky skips the whole having-an-effect thing and goes straight to cooldown.

Or that exploit where they invalidate lootz, to punish those players who actually grind.


But these make DDO what it is. How can you fix them without making the game completely unrecognizable? Or fun?

That's the same logic I use to justify my disbelief in tornadoes and hurricanes. I've never been in one, so I'm pretty sure they don't exist. If people had problems with them, it was probably something they did.

I hope they dont fix the exploit where youre able to become deaf after picking up von 5/6... i need those disability checks..

Or like rev said, when you click on things and it goes to cooldown even though it didnt go off..

Or the exploit where it takes you like a fucking hr to empty a tr bank instead of it moving at an acceptable pace.

Ladder bug yet?

How about the one that causes 0 lfms to be up the other day? And lately only 3 or 4 at a time and 0 being epic?

How about the one where if you get too many lvls new people who join your group cant get into quests until you reform or everyone who leveled has to relog.. this happens every life when we get from lvl 1 to 4 in little time and leave the lfm up..

Oh and when you level to 20 it does the same shit where some people cant get into quests because youre considered heroic still so you have to relog once you take 20..

I have this exploit where my screen will minimize for no fucking reason here and there.. this is a dope one.. hope this isnt fixed yet..  Cheesy

What about the sploit where the new ravenloft augs wont stack in the crafting section of the shared bank and each of the 120000 of them take up a space each.. dope af too..

I know i gotta be missing more..

OK, there is one exploit I know, and since it's probably getting fixed now I'll give it up.

1) Go to house C, collect your "1 per day" free challenge token.
2) TR.  Any TR that sends you back to lvl 1 will work for this.  So Iconic, Heroic, or Racial.
3) Go to house C, collect your 2nd "1 per day" free challenge token.

That's right! You can get 2 of those free challenge tokens on the same day!  Abuse it while you can, for sure this one's going away.

You can feed them to gems.  And since they're level 30 (internally-coded, to get into Estar challenges), they're worth 300 xp each.

Just kidding.

Maybe.

Now you have to go check, ha ha.

Dumbass comment about fixing several sploits. Probably fishing hoping someone spills the beans.
  

My motto is: exploit early, exploit often

Or are they fixing that exploit where the assimar top tier stance keeps not giving the bonus even tho it looks like its on..

And if you turn it off then on.. it works.. but the best part of this exploit is that if you shrine or leave the quest or enter another quest.. maybe even go through loading screens in a quest.. itll stop working but still show that its on..

Better get on that one.. not sure if they will get rid of it today or not.. but if so you can use it while you can.. its a fun one..

Alternate Launcher ( PyLOTRO ) works wonder there.
