    Yes, and there is another one that probably only gets attention after this one is fixed.


    There is a glitch where you can be technically in cover while you're walking around. Getting in cover bonuses all the time.

    Retrospectively this explains so much. This exploit has always been around that is for sure.

    What is even more obvious is how the many PTS we have had have been a complete waste of time and how UBI and Massive have been let down by testers, and their testing strategy.

    Time and time again we have come across exploits like this only to discover that people have known about this for ages and kept their mouths shut so they and their crew can exploit it until it is leaked.

    I'd like to urge UBI/Massive to employ in-house testers in future who actually play their own game and to abandon the idea that the community can help with bug finding and exposure.

    I really don't blame UBI/Massive too much but I do think that some members of our community are utter scumbags and should be punished retrospectively.

    So the issue isn't that the set is OP, but YouTubers like Widdz is showing everyone how to cheat. If that is the case I think what needs to be done is fix the set without nerfing it and then give Widdz a lifetime ban for all Ubisoft games.

    Lol why do people want to ban Widdz so bad?

    He contributed more to the game than this whole forum combined.

    LOL no, Widdz is exposing it in an effort to get it fixed. People have been exploiting it since the set was first introduced and kept it quiet. As I said some gamers are pure scum and should be punished but I don't think Widdz fits into this category.

    D3 doesn't need to be banned. The fix is simple and universal. When an item is changed the set is reset and recalculated OR no item can be replaced while a skill is deployed.

    1st off, I'm not one of the Widdz groupies, I play the game and learn stuff on my own. Rather then watch all those YouTube videos and being told what I like and how I should play. Just a little old school there.

    2nd. Problem I have is, Widdz made a video to point this out. Great! Now send it straight to Ubisoft or Massive. Let them figure it out. No instead, he pumps up the YouTube channel and gets his legends of undead followers out there either doing exactly what he showed or looking for someone elses YouTube video showing how to do it.

    That is the curse of bringing things out to the open. For those of us who are trying to play the game will get crushed under those who want here and now crowd. The CMs in these forums have said if you have videos send it to them and they will pass it on. No not this generation, it's all about "Here's how I cheat and so can you!" As where my generation was more, "DO NOT lead me into temptation, we can find it ourselves!"

    This post started with a player wanting it nerfed and instead it is more an issue about cheaters.

    People have discovered in the past that silently exposing these bugs has resulted in nothing being done. Widdz did the right thing IMO.

    Did he? Now more players are aware and using it themselves. Was that the fix? A new meta, based on cheating. THANKS WIDDZ, you are a hero.

    Doing the right thing isn't always going to make us happy. Letting everyone know how to do it doesn't fix a thing. Letting Ubisoft and Massive actually do their jobs, can be stressful and time consuming, but that's the right thing. Especially seeing how they moved onto the next game 2 years ago.

    Edit: He did it for personal gain, not to do the right thing. That is my opinion. Maybe that wasn't his intent, but that is how it appears.

    I first read about this bug a couple of days ago on reddit and god only knows how many people have known about this for ages. I remember reading a post a few days ago about some some secret game-breaking exploit and I bet this is it. I believe that UBI/Massive have known about this bug for quite some time and, for whatever reason, haven't got round to fixing it yet. Now they will have to get their finger out and roll out a fix ASAP otherwise their reputation will suffer.
