Guild Wars Exploits? Does it have any? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

hehe there is some nice use for Necrotic transversal or that other corpse teleport skill in unwaking waters explorable.
you can teleport to the middle section of the jade stairs by killing a crab there :P.
(to explore in ease etc)

that bug in HA using a longbow preventing the zaishens to attack, easy wipe out under 30 seconds was nice

It's just exp points.I don't this as being a bannable offense

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot,good job A-Net.Destroy your business by banning paying customers.
O well, GW is dead now anyway.

Oh yea, like it isn't a bug, getting 2.5 levels/skill points everytime I kill the Doppleganger.

Former Ruling · Jul 09, 2006, 06:51 PM // 18:51

An easier way for the dopple thing was to just have you both die. Put massive Degen/Or w/e on him, and get yourself killed. Wait for him to degen or w/e to death, you get the exp even though your dead, then 'Return to Outpost' and repeat.

You can still do this for the effect, but you only get the exp once nowadays

(its still cool to get the 50k exp WHILE DEAD lol)

Update: Friday, June 17
* Fixed XP exploit in Augury Rock.

If the search goes online for a few minutes, use the opportunity to look it up. It's been back in the times you were severely short on skillpoints to unlock stuff with. Plus there was no such thing as Factions (as that update came on the 29.th).
The problem about this is, people abused it big time. Some folks did this over 300 times, getting insane amounts of exp and Skillpoints, during an Era every kind of unlocking had to be done PVE Style. Those folks were the ones getting banned for it. And actually, if someone does this kind of thing so fricking often he simply can't defend himself by saying "meh, it was an accident". Exploiting is exploiting, no matter how little and useless the outcome of it might be.
Besides to trigges this exploit you had to do a certain thing at the right time (d'uh, like with any exploit - but this one was very specific in what to do when and it was something that was probably very obvious in the logfiles).

Finally, this one is dead for over a year now, so i don't actually see the reference between banning people for this and the "dead" GW.

Roupe · Jul 09, 2006, 07:21 PM // 19:21

Well...

Another exploration exploit is in Frost gate, two methods actually

Either use Necrotic transversal on Snow wolfs thats on the Rurik path, A snow wolf (usually) gets killed by one of the siege engines thats near the end of the Dryders Ice tunnel.

or

have rebirth cast upon you from someone standing under the bridge in the Dryders ice tunnel.

Both these methods allows you to travel the path Rurik is running, If you run back (towards where you started) you can see the end of the world, if you run forward you can fight tons of ice golems.

The only "exploit" I've found was a minor AI bug that could be useful, but not very often, so why put ANet to the bother of fixing it?

Yea, too bad that is nerfed now lol.

You could easily hit < 20 seconds.

Guild Wars does not suffer from the problems that many other mogs have such as Duping, Map Hack, and of the sorts. Sure there were some Minor Exploits like the Gaya Hatchery one, but I believe that this one has been fixed. The most dangerous one maybe (im not sure if its an exploit or not) would be botting but AN has been banning them at regular intervals it seems. other than that there aren't really any Epxloits in the game that havent been fixed. If you do, however, find one you think maybe do not hesitate sending in a support ticket or posting it on these and other forums as Both AN Employees and Alpha Testers Regularly read and pass on the info for it being fixed.

dargon · Jul 09, 2006, 10:52 PM // 22:52

Like I said earlier, the only exploits have been server-side, aka a result of ANets code / not thinking like a devious player

There are no client side exploits, ie give yourself 10000000 health.

As in many games, there are a few exploits in the game. There is a big difference between exploiting the gameplay mechanics to accomplish something that you couldn't do normally if you played it straight and exploiting a bug.

To GW credit when I played they plugged up several bugs pretty fast. Unfortunately it's the ones that are not considered bugs is the reason I don't play

TwinRaven · Jul 10, 2006, 04:59 AM // 04:59

The only exploit I can remember was slipping through certain gates to complete missions without the timer running out on you...ANet fixed it in short order...

Sometimes if you find a hill that is JUST right, you can shoot ranger enemies with a bow without them hitting you. I've only managed to do this once, and I think it was complete luck. May have something to do with the whole arc of your bow (flatbows = largest, recurve bow = smallest)

I think the coolest "exploit" when there was a preview of Factions, if you pressed Space key, when an assassin had a shadow step on, you do a front roll on the ground. I think that was neat.
