is that a "skill issue" ?

@timeo1750 said in is that a "skill issue" ?:

like always i prepared myself for hourglass fight. i paid all my recources and take the time to check every single barrel of the outpost.

And then i found a game with a guys who literraly have infinite bone caller. Every time i took the advantage, he was throwing bone caller, and as soon as i killed the skeletons, more spawned, and while i was struggling with infinite ennemy on my ship, he repair his mast and run away. and when he took the advantage once, he riddled my with canon ball and bone caller at the same time, and naturally i sunk.

I found out that he made all this bone caller with a glitch on the new trap.

I think this is a good example of why we should have equal resources in hourglass. but you can call that a skill issue if you want.

Having equal resources in Hourglass wouldn't have stopped him from exploiting to get more bone callers during the match though.

The exploit should be patched ASAP.

@lem0n-curry can also stop every recources exploit that still exist, and the future one. And i hope the patch will be fast, I am litteraly afraid of playing hourglass rn.

@ghutar so do I

I found out that he made all this bone caller with a glitch on the new trap.

So...you found a exploit and...

I think this is a good example of why we should have equal resources in hourglass.

Want Hourglass to have same resources instead of reporting the exploit?

but you can call that a skill issue if you want.

You know, Lure dart helps :P and the spawned skeletons vs a Sword dash...they dont stand a chance.

@burnbacon have same resources can prevent all (present and futur) recources exploit using in hourglass. and i don't have to report it, it's already done by other.
also, i play neither blowpipi and sword, I should have changed my weapon, but I remind you that I was under enormous pressure, and that the skeletons could have beaten me up if I'd stayed still for changed weapons. and even with a sword, they keep respawning, I would still have wasted time killing them instead of repairing the ship.

Once the exploit has been patched, it’ll go back to being a skill issue ;)

I think this is a better example of why they need to be harsher on exploiters. Even if the resources started equal, in this case they could have duplicated more.

People willing to cheat, whether it's a hack or an exploit should be banned.

@wolfmanbush sure fixing the game so that people can't exploit in the first place is important, but continuing to allow people who are willing to cheat to have a home in the game is also a huge problem. I don't believe that every exploiter would be willing to immediately create an alternate account instead of just stopping/being less willing to cheat.

Duplicate exploit. The fact that they didn't fix this before community weekend is insane. And the worst part is that it won't have any consequences for them. It's as bad as cheating to have 100+ skelly bombs, curse balls etc. They just spam that all the time.

I will be HIGHLY disappointed if they do not take action and actually give those who abused this exploit a ban.

@callmebackdraft

Should just ban anyone promoting exploits on platforms and making it common knowledge. No sense in removing content from a different platform if there is no content to create. Most of the videos are clickbait and don't actually show or explain the methods in detail, which is 'smart' to an extent.

On a positive note this means that Rare will likely have it fixed sooner rather than later as it's becoming more widespread. Should honestly disable traps again until it is solved.

@ghutar i saw him defending exploiter more than one time. I wonder who is he, i though he's just a rage bait bot or something, but not a human with common sense

Any word from Rare why traps weren't disabled? Another community weekend spoiled this time by exploits of Bone Callers and Curseballs. Last one was keg launching by crouch exploiting. When will this be fixed and why is it still in the game? Disappointing to say the least.

@wolfmanbush

I'm not referring to comms and rewards being bugged. That is clearly an issue but that has little impact on the individual player experience aside from a few cosmetics and check marks.

I'm referring to the negative effect the bone callers and curses are having on both adventure and hourglass and how widespread this exploit has become. This is inhibiting progression and creating disdain amongst players and the community leading to a poor overall gaming experience. I expected this to be disabled for a second time before community weekend until it were functioning as intended. A weekend to celebrate the game and the community within. It's simply not a good look, far worse than releasing a game-breaking new exploit after a failed attempt to fix it.
