# 1 Please Fix Exploiters

Crytpic needs to stop overlooking herogames and start fixing/booting exploiters.. I have seen all kinds of obvious exploits lately.

Just today I came across a guy in a BASH match with AOPM, invul, and Regeneration.
I'v also seen someone with Ebon Wrath + Way of the Warrior

I have also recently seen a guy using some kind of powers that as far as I know off... are not even in the game. It was a hold that would fling people around in the air, before throwing them down for massive fall damage... animation of a whirling yellow string. I tried to ask him what kind of power it was and immediatly was put on ignore....

One more I'v seen is people casting multiple attacks at once, and I think I know exactly how that is done, the good old Lag Switch.. which I thought was easily worked around by MMOs these days, yet Cryptic can't manage to stop even the basics. =(

Lessee...

You cannot "see" regeneration. Just because his health was going back up doesn't mean regen. As for having AoPM and Invuln...were they both active at the same time, and if so, why didn't you screenshot it?

Ebon Wrath + Way of the Warrior...hey, if they want a stupid combo, why are you complaining?

Yellow string...sounds like implosion engine. Fun power but not really game breaking.

Multiple attacks at once...this is hard one to prove since what you see and what the server is doing do not always match up. And in a few cases I can think of off the top of my head powers with activation times shorter than the animation times "look" like they're going off at the same time as the power cast immediately after them. It's not that the powers are actually going off at the same time, just that the game client is drawing them on your screen at the same time. If you start parsing your combat log regularly, you can find these pretty easily.

This used to be do-able but was fixed. Based on the rest of your comments, there's a higher likelihood that you're just mistaken.

Circle of Ebon Wrath is not a passive and using it with WeW is perfectly valid. It's also a pretty crappy power.

Aura of Ebon Destruction is a passive so maybe you are referring to that? It has a team component so if you noticed it in a team pvp setting then it could have been stacked with another passive. This is also valid.

You don't know of them because they likely proc from power replacers, devices, or other items. The one you describe sounds a lot like the Lasso (http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/Lasso).

Some attacks are made that way by design (see Power Armor), so you'll have to be more specific. Other attacks have effects which are delayed...also by design (see the adv on Explosive Arrow).

Since these exploits are so common it should be easy for you to produce a screenshot of one or more of them happening. Just be sure to edit out the names of the players from your screenshot before posting it on the forums.

There are some things that have been in the game since Sept '09. I wonder, since they have been ignored on multiple bug reports, if Cryptic would be okay with a release on these assumed-to-be valid tactics based on inaction to tickets. All is fair? Right?

not circle of Ebon Wrath, should have been specfic, the Aura (passive) in other words people with multiple passives active at once. And you can see regen when it ticks on your target.

Implosion Eng, I looked it up and yes, that sounds right... except for one thing. It says you need to have completed VB crisis, this match that I was fighting in was 21-30, You need to be 35 to even do the VB crisis. So that still doesn't add up.

As mentioned by xav and kamo these are either you're mistaken or they aren't exploits, maybe do a little research on these before coming to the forums next time :)

As for AopM, it's possible you just saw the support icon. The player himself may not have had AopM, but a teammate near him did. You know how AopM functions, it gives a raw stat buff for teammates within 50 feet.

As for the ticking Regen, that might have been a ticking Necrulitic Elixir.

A team mate had the passive and the wotew player got the buff, simple.
As for regen ticks, you can see heal ticks unless you had been watching the combat log and it had said regeneration gives "mr.exploits" 500+hp. There are many many other things these healing ticks could be coming from.

As I stated, these are things I noticed in BASH matches, NO TEAMS so passive Auras from a teammate can't explain these ones, if it could... why would I be here?

This has to be the worst post ever, sorry. Your confusing exploits with a lack of understanding about the game. Not trying to be rude, and I'm no build guru by a wide stretch. Which makes the fact that this post looks crazy, even to me, well, not good...Reading the title, I expected to see IDF/Defiance/teleport on one toon, or maybe the DW thing again, or Holds? but this is saying all free form is an exploit, taking powers out of framework is an exploit...choosing mediocre powers in an exploit? lol really? There is no shortage of legit exploits to complain about, really....
