Once and for all - Is flicker zone a reportable exploit?? Ubi? help | Forums

[Jarl.Felix]

Don't expect Ubiass to fix any exploits/bugs . If it's not a gamebreaking bug AND all the community uses (warden glitch) they won't even bother

Every player has equal access to it therefore its not cheating.


The use of minor glitches has been considered fair use in competition in the FGC for more than twenty years as long as it doesn't completely break the game. I see no reason that FH should be treated any differently. You are not special little snowflakes.

I play Orochi and I've been accused of using the flicker glitch when I didn't even know what it was.
It's just something that happens, it's not the players fault.

You could argue that players who know about it are then abusing it, but the Orochi already has so few options in combat that cutting out the zone would be fairly significant. Especially considering you already only have to block in 2 directions when fighting against an Orochi.

Don't play WL or LB and he won't flicker you. Problem solved.

So exploiting bugs for personal advantage is not cheating now? Just because everyone has equal opportunity to exploit it? So the Warden 1HKO was fine?

And this is not a traditional fighting game, and does not and should not play by the same rules. This is a team game, and I think it was a huge mistake of the devs to include duels and explicitly make it something they consider for balance. In a team game 1v1 should never be more than a casual side-show as it detracts from the team balance and only attracts people who want everything to balanced around 1v1 rather than the team modes.

Where do you get the notion this game is only a team game? What you said could go both ways. Like why would they add 4v4. Whats makes this game on viable for team modes?

Sure, they could have made it primarily a 1v1 game, but the vast majority of publicity surrounding the game, from the initial announcement up until release was focusing primarily on 4v4 (mainly Dominion) and very, very little on the 1v1 aspect. It is pretty clear the game was intended to be a team game from the start and not a 1v1 duel game. And they should keep that in mind for balancing, but it appears whoever is in charge now has lost sight of the initial vision.

We're working on fixing the flicker bug - and until that fix is released you are free to report it to us if you'd like.
We'll certainly investigate, but we're not currently treating it as something that can be sanctioned unless we see it's being severely exploited (ie: we see numerous reports for the same account).

So please explain to me why they're introducing ranked to 1v1 duels first?

Requires smaller testing population, which they need since they're only allowing PC players to test (smallest community). Also easier to implement and it's a good idea to start testing with the smallest modes to minimize points of failure.
