If you are not going to tell the community, at least send a PM to Gaile about it.

Let me guess. You get the 50K exp reward every time you kill your mirror.

Red Locust · Jun 17, 2005, 08:24 PM // 20:24

That 50k exp only works once. Naturally I tried it as soon as the patch came out and no dice :\

I don't see any other possible way of getting 200 skill points in an hour.

Really Anet needs to think some of their "resolutions" through before they patch them in. This was a pretty big forehead slapper of a trick too.

Of course, you being the discerning gamer you are - reported this - and did not abuse it?
. . .

I see.

P.S.: If you want to see what a real "resolution debacle" looks like, go play EQ2 for a few weeks. Everytime they say "Patch" 10% of their population cancels their accounts.

Are you suuuuuuuuure?

Red Locust · Jun 17, 2005, 08:40 PM // 20:40

Am I sure about the 50K exp only awarded once? Pretty damn sure.

Reiden Argrock · Jun 17, 2005, 08:42 PM // 20:42

hehe, well, since it's out there, this is what I was talking about, i tried multiple times with a lvl 20 and it only filled my xp bar once, after that, no more xp except the 100 for actually killing the doppleganger, no 50k xp for anything else

Aug · Jun 17, 2005, 08:43 PM // 20:43

There must be some way to 'trick' it into thinking you didn't get the 50k. Or else this whole thing is a hoax.

blood raven · Jun 17, 2005, 08:43 PM // 20:43

ummm...

Dumachum did you even try it before posting it here or were you just guessing it?

lol ^_^

Reiden Argrock · Jun 17, 2005, 08:45 PM // 20:45

hehe, I think it's a hoax, because it's only worked once, and I guess that's because I ascended after lvl 20 and didn't get any xp for beating him then.

Dumachum · Jun 17, 2005, 08:45 PM // 20:45

Since you already put it out there. Yes, it involves the Doppleganger and yes there is a way to repeat the 50000exp bonus. But no I am not saying exactly how to do it. Most people can't do it anyway. And Yes, it has been reported to ANet and hopefully fixed soon.

Red Locust · Jun 17, 2005, 08:48 PM // 20:48

It's probably something like exiting out of the game right after you get the exp or something, either way I'm not in the mood to go through the entire game again just to find out they fixed it.

Reiden Argrock · Jun 17, 2005, 08:48 PM // 20:48

well, you did say you did it with your lvl 18, so it must not be possible for a lvl 20 to do it, so I don't understand why all those pvp'ers would rush to do it, since their all lvl 20.

Zaklex · Jun 17, 2005, 08:50 PM // 20:50

Did you ever stop to think it was intential, since 50k exp won't get a level 3 character automatically ascended to level 20(and I know, you were level 18, that's beside the point).

Dumachum · Jun 17, 2005, 08:52 PM // 20:52

A level 20 COULD do it. I did it at 18 by accident then intentionally recreated it at 20 to confirm it was a bug.

Aug · Jun 17, 2005, 08:52 PM // 20:52

You could only do it if you were elligible to receive the 50k XP from the mission. I'm guess that if you already ascended, but did it pre-20, you wouldn't be eligible for the 50k, because you already received some form of XP bonus and the game 'knows' it.

It probably involves either disconnecting yourself from the server after you get the 50k, or killing the app... IIRC, you get the bonus in the cutscene, and there's nothing you can do between the cutscene and your transference to Dragon's Lair. But I could be wrong... I ascended several weeks ago, and only did it once.

recreated it with a level 20 post-ascension character? Or pre-ascension?

Reiden Argrock · Jun 17, 2005, 08:55 PM // 20:55

an intentional 50k xp that can be earned over and over? I really don't think they would put something like that in the game, and I don't think it's happening anyway, cause I tried it after patch, and it didn't work.

Dumachum · Jun 17, 2005, 08:56 PM // 20:56

Ascended characters can't do it. And no it doesn't involve forced disconnects. If you are the right class/s and have the right skill equiped it is TOO easy to recreate. Otherwise it can be pretty tough.

ManadartheHealer · Jun 17, 2005, 08:56 PM // 20:56

You should have thouroughly tested it, and not assumed ANet's incompetence...I will try it, although I am fairly sure there is no exploit. Otherwise, more would know about it
