Ok, if you are talking about 3 days period exploit almost a month ago - i really don't care. The only argument I was making is that all players that farmed XP for the last 3 weeks did it according to the rules of the game. That's all.Originally Posted by D-Y-N-4-M-O Go to original post
So, if i "exploit" roosevelt islands Burnpit by killing all but 1 NPC and let myself be killed and start that part over and over again to get lots of loot drops from NPC`s (not the boss), is that called an exploit also or just playing the game?!?
Then they need to rework the whole game, because i can find some good spots in missions with lots of NPC`s to get lots of loot by just dying when i killed all but 1 NPC.
Burn Outcasts in previous event, you can just do that by doing Potomac and get fire ammo at the stage where you go in the theater for the first time, just kill all but one and just die and redo that part .... Exploit or just part of the game.
Having all CP`s on green (which is a bug) and there for spawning Target Practice all over the place, If i do them for like hours a day and complete them ... thats just part of the game, also failing has been fixed a month ago now they move away after 3 fails, so you can only fail them 2 times then you need to complete it otherwise they just walk away.
So they fixed it and what widdz did was just playing the game, choose an event and go there finish it and move to the next one ... no exploit there, he didnt even fail 2 times

Chris Gansler (Lead Developer) himself confirmed that this was indeed an exploit, links posted yesterday. And yes, if one wades through the ignorance surrounding the matter, the exploit was the intended failing of the activity, over and over and over again, thus gaining unlimited amount of XP and Loot in a considerably short time.
3 weeks ago Ubisoft posted a warning about it.
Do you need to be linked to the Chris Gansler statements? They are all over these forums so you could not have missed them, surely?
People still seem unable to understand that there was an exploit, that got fixed not in the last update, which apparently allowed people to get outrageous amounts of XP by failing shooting ranges, fast traveling and repeating it. I don't know details because I only heard about it when people talked about it being fixed, but it was a thing. After the first fix people were unable to keep farming the same activity because after failing once or twice you didn't get offered to run it again. Now, this LATEST fix, which they did this week, both removed gear rewards from failing AND massively reduced the xp you get from the activity as a whole.
People exploited what was happening in the FIRST instance, when they could fail and repeat apparently without the activity going away, quick and easily earning way more xp that it was ever intended without hassle, and that's what this is about.
Getting loot from mobs is fine. Getting loot from a boss more than once should not even be possible unless you reset the entire mission. All non-boss enemies have the same chance to drop loot, it's not part of the encounter or mission. Doing this is not really any different to restarting a mission can clearing up to some point and restarting it again. It's almost certainly fine because you're earning your loot.Originally Posted by Styxs_NL Go to original post
If you were using a glitch that caused the boss to reset and drop loot again, then it would be an exploit since it's intended that bosses only drop loot once.
It's pretty much common sense. Is the game working how it's expected to be working and are your rewards the expected rewards? Yes? Continue. No? Stop.
Apparently Ubisoft/Massive disagrees with you.Originally Posted by Kelso45 Go to original post
You also obviously were not around or do not remember the Loot Cave exploit that Massive shut down, you know, getting loot over and over and over from mobs?
Yeah, not ok.
And yeah, another thing: You obviously don’t know about the current ongoing exploit where the end-boss is killed two minutes into the mission, mission is restarted, boss is killed again, rinse and repeat aka the exotic farm?
Yeah, Massive and Ubi know about that one as well, but you know, hypocrisy.........
Gawddamn makes my skin crawl lol
