Curse

People are running around in Fort Aspenwood using Unyielding Aura, then taking it off the person, which results in a permament death.

Hopeful this post will get ANet's attention and they can fix it ASAP.

Edit: Gah, Can't fix my spelling error in the title.

Ishmaeel · May 30, 2006, 06:36 AM // 06:36

And what good does that do for them? How? Could you elaborate please? (Sorry haven't played Aspenwood yet)

Allmightybob · May 30, 2006, 06:36 AM // 06:36

Errrr it doesn't really do them any good. They just get to be an ass.

Edit: Normally you get rezzed a few seconds after you die. In this case the Monk would rez you with unyielding and then cancel it (causing you to die again), after which you don't get auto rezzed anymore.

I was a little confused by your topic here, becuase I know that the person could just be res'd by a team mate, so I looked it up on GuildWiki. Lookit at the notes near the bottom:

Now that's a bug. Report it please, and it should get fixed soon.

Yay, all new harassment form for the "spies", disable every playing teammember so 'your' side wins.

Bump for fix -.-

generik · May 30, 2006, 10:20 AM // 10:20

Wow.. a new use for a useless elite!

myword · May 30, 2006, 10:57 AM // 10:57

hopefully they'll ban the players intentionally using it to grief. they banned players using the 'glitch' to team kill in arenas after all right?

Theus · May 30, 2006, 11:01 AM // 11:01

My god.Spies?Jesus, this is turning out to be like the bullshit that is Ragnarok Online.

(For those of you who don't know, it was common place for major guilds to have spies in other major enemy guilds, specifically during War of Emperium.)

How silly.Once again,Guildwars is Serious Business.

Oh my god.... IF I hadn't uninstalled gw due to the fact that i got so addicted im falling behind in my studies.... I would have been like

"monk you GORE RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE"

xXa1 · May 30, 2006, 12:45 PM // 12:45

its griefing pure and simple and in violation of the EULA. those exploiting it should get perma banned for causing this perma death.

Evilsod · May 30, 2006, 01:13 PM // 13:13

Perma ban sounds fair to me. Someone been THAT sad as to join opposing teams to sabotage it needs to get a life or to just learn a lesson in fair play.

Makes me glad i haven't bought factions.... there are just too many ridiculous bugs. Shame the only use this elite will ever have is as a sabotage bug...

Terra Xin · May 30, 2006, 03:26 PM // 15:26

Was it possible to do this in GvG? I wonder if UA cuts out the res in those areas as well?

Vahn Roi · May 30, 2006, 03:29 PM // 15:29

Don't you get points for continuous kills at fort aspenwood? If so I can see how this could be a problem, becuase you could only kill someone once and thus only get the points or killing them once.

Cyan The Archer · May 30, 2006, 03:53 PM // 15:53

Use of explot = Ban
Cant believe the players who use that exploit should get away with it

Terra Xin · May 30, 2006, 03:55 PM // 15:55

They'll get their beans... or brocolli...

Someone should go over there and discourage them

"whispers: stop it..."

No points for kills, winning is always flat 600 points (well not always, there has been odd 602's sometimes o.0), no additional points given out. Dunno what factors affect the losing side's faction, it might have something to do with kills, but I'd say it's mostly time based.

Eet GnomeSmasher · May 30, 2006, 06:34 PM // 18:34

Let me guess, that Monk's name ends with "Ka" I reported a monk by the name doing the same thing about a week ago. He was yelling at the opposing team to stop killing him because he was and I quote, "F--ing with the Lux"

If this is the same guy, I'm going to get really pissed because it seems like ANET is doing jack to ban these people, even though I know several people had reported him.

This is clearly griefing. Even if you didnt know the side effects of this bug, you'd wise up after two of your teammates are not rezzing after you're using UA on them. But here it looks like almost the whole team has been permadeathed by this guy. This was on purpose.

WasAGuest · May 30, 2006, 07:20 PM // 19:20

That's so wrong it's funny. Some people just have no since of fair play anymore. That's a "bug" needing a fix quick.

aron searle · May 30, 2006, 08:18 PM // 20:18

Anet dont ban people for the 40% enchant bug, GVG door bug, 12v12 bug, or any other exploit you can think off, and 99% of abusive behavior.

Moral of the story, do what the **** you want, anet wont do jack.

Hollerith · May 30, 2006, 11:30 PM // 23:30

Didn't people get banned for attacking teammates in the RA's?
