About bugs and map glitches

Post by Monad »

It's pretty simple:
  • 1) If you know an abusable bug or a map glitch and you report it to the staff you'll receive a bugdeed for your honesty
    2) If you know an abusable bug or a map glitch and you decide to shut up about it, you probably going to get busted at some point anyway and get in trouble
    3) If you know an abusable bug or a map glitch and you tell to staff that you know about it, but refuse to reveal or lie what it is unless we do as you say, will surely get you to trouble
Simmo and Ivan decided to go down the 3rd road and they're now both jailed for 14 days.
We don't really have time to play some stupid games with you guys, if you know a bug in the game, we honestly expect you to tell us about it so we can get this game better and fix what's wrong. I hope this is clear from this statement and we can all concentrate on getting the shard better and implementing new stuff instead fighting over something stupid as this.

Not a whine or anything, ill stay with the 14d. But funny fact is that i just heard that Malas and Papua are different worlds. And i think all GMs know how to get to Papua (by boat).

Not sure if it's fixed today, but Law auraspell could be abused. During world state save, it could be cast multiple times, so if you had enough mana, you could have 3 auras on when the world save ended. I brought this up over a year ago, got my resisting spells dropped by 5-10% cant remember, because the staff thought I abused it. But I didnt :< Anyhoo! If it's not fixed, you can fix it.

Same thing used to be with veritas. (when it was spammable)

You were able to spam it during the world state and consume 1 veritas mana for like the damage of 10 veritas's.

It was just epic what i've seen...

I know about the bug. I haven't fixed it yet because I wasn't sure how to deal with it to be honest. Zaradon's veritas tip was pretty good though, so I'm hoping I can get it fixed now after some testing.

Your post was removed because it was a bitchy post that contained tips on how to abuse bugs or be an asshole. The thread is in a light spirit, fun and asked for intresting tips. Use your brain Akkarin

So you know about the bug which obviously leads to Papua (boat one) and i got jailed because of that? Before i get forum jailed, perhaps someone wants to discuss with me one thing via icq/pm (i mean GMs)

I'm talking about Laws aura.
I had no idea there were ways into either Malas or t2a. We'd have fixed them obviously

Considering all religions except Imperial have aura now, is it not the same thing for all auras then? I'd imagine all auras can be abused the same way? If not, looking at the scripts of those auras could be helpful in fixing laws.
