    But they do report the exploit as fixed as of this mornings maintenance, and in their patch notes they say that all who exploited the glitch have a warning on their account. I think that is fair. Not sure what a warning on an account means. I presume it means they got sent a notice of a breach in the terms of service and/or EULA, and their account is flagged so that in the future if they use any exploits that would be taken into consideration and probably lead to a ban.

    Well thank you tcarlisle2012, that's very informative.

    As for this warning, I don't care about warnings on accounts, I care about GOD MODE gamers in the DZ conflict and cheating raids.

    Have all of these people had their armour pieces removed or these armour buffs negated? (Please say yes as my D2 developer confidence is approaching Anthem-like low levels at this stage)

    This screw up literally broke the game for me and as a gamer which hasn't completed the raid, the thought that these cheating peeps probably have Eagle Bearers to spare and I haven't got one leaves me a little sore.

    My gut tells me this maintenance probably prevents MORE peeps enjoying this exploit rather than fixing, removing the gear pieces that have been modified as a result.

    I may be wrong, but I guess when I get home I'll see.

    player1234 killed you 3 times in row in conflict? Report them as a cheater as revenge.

    If you don't understand/accept this then imagine if I created a new thread about some player called FL3XX2007 who is exploiting asking that they be banned.

    You CAN however name and shame in private comms with support if "grassing them up" is important to you.



    Forget the liability of Ubisoft, how would YOU feel if you were the one accused unjustly? The rule is a good one and should be in place.
    ER bro did you just CHOOSE to overlook the whole accusations backed with photographic evidence part????

    yo Tanaki, have you exploited this glitch? Your absolute lack of condemnation for these low life game breaking insects intrigues me.

    Tell me more

    No, but you did CHOOSE to not read my post properly.

    A "whole accusation"? Woah, what does that actually mean? And you didn't actually provide photos as you didn't know how to include them from your phone. It seems I am more aware of your situation than you are.

    No, I have not exploited this, I rarely go near the DZ so am not as passionate about the situation as you are however I am firmly behind the no naming&shaming policy for the reason you chose not to read in my previous post.

    Yup.
    Can't count the amount of times I've been accused of cheating just because I'm better/smarter at PVP than most people.
    Without video/photo proof it's just plan defamation and libel.
    That being the main reason " naming and shaming" isn't allowed pretty much on any forums/sites.
    The people running the sites are actually smart enough to understand what that can lead to so they don't allow it.

    I'm seeing LOADS of people running this glitch in DZ on PS4 (kojack19702018 taking the ultimate p*ss I might add with 796699 armour) and this NEEDS fixing.

    Ubisoft please just delete all instances of this percentage based armour stat

    If it hasn't been fixed or is not a simple fix, bite the bullet and delete every instance of these percentage based armour stats from every account otherwise these insects will simply transfer the boosted broken stat onto another item and another and this will haunt every encounter in the DZ and conflict.

    Or you could simply introduce a genuine armour level cap (eg: 330000) and anything above that is ignored (like above 60% crit chance)

    This needs fixing like yesterday.

    The worst part is this exploit is so rife that players are thinking more "it's better to have it than be the one player without it"

    Players in DZ arguing ubisoft can't ban players using this as too many using it.

    Ubisoft please either figure out how to delete 168% instances from players accounts or maybe reverse this stat (-168%) or worst case, ban the lot of them.
    Looks like the armor exploit was fixed in the patch.

    I was fully willing to support any allegations I made (or make) with photographic evidence.

    By your own admission you don't really play PVP as you would truly understand just how game breaking this actually is.

    Players exploiting glitches such as this screw the game beyond reason and should be exposed to prevent repeats in the future and also as this game is all about making builds, if you can cheat, what's the point?

    Well if you should ever decide to play DZ, conflict and bump into someone exploiting this and get shot down repeatedly, maybe then, just maybe you might feel the need to tell someone.....

    .... then again, you sound like you would just suck it up and keep on trying, and failing, and trying and staying very civil throughout.

    Cheaters must love players like you.

    Personally I think cheaters in any multiplayer game do nothing but damage the game and community at large and should be exposed. Then when they get punished, other gamers stay in line.

    You seem somewhat opposed to me mentioning players so what should I do?

    I don't know about you but getting shot for the fifth time by cheaters laughing at me acting like the're great at the game but when I'm inspecting them, I'm seeing their cheating stats... you think I should focus on the problem and not the players.....?

    Wow.

    Really?

    Was the fix retrospective? (I mean did it just stop more cheat armour being created or has it removed the buff stats from all existing gear pieces?)

    I hope the latter rather than former.

    Most likely they just made it so armor % scales differently. Like how CC % doesn't scale.

    Dude, once again im only referring to naming and shaming with photographic evidence.....

    YouTube awesomely is rife with videos that show cheaters caught in the act and I hope they get banned from those games for life.

    Unless a hard line is taken against such things, anarchy ensues.
