I lol'ed.

Whoever thinks hammers are bad obviously doesn't know how to play the game or put bars togeather.

As for this update, in the words of the International Man of Mystery, "Whoop de-doo Basil".

Zos Shivros fix, part 1.

this update doesnt fix the biggest problem, but its a great step in the right direction, and I'm very gald to see it happen.

I'm still sad the people who exploited that bug (and the scum who post instructions on how to exploit that bug for the other degenerates to follow) werent banned, they definitely deserved it. but it's still a great addition to the otherwise "meh" update.

Thanks for that one.

Zos Shivros? Man, why do I always find out about game breaking farms/exploits AFTER they are fixed. Like the Urgoz hopping vampire farm.

Deserved to get banned? What user agreement/policy was violated?

Oh shut up

. For the last time, an Anet employee even told us it was ok until the bug was fixed :/

I'm a little worried about the bug fix, though. As soon as the Fast Faction SC's are nerfed (because of shadow form and 600's), I'm worried that it will only be inviting more botting into the game.

Without the afk farm and SC's, I think people will probably be more tempted to bot. Hell, the instructions to do it are already posted everywhere.

/sigh JQ and FA are about to get worse

It wasn't very "game breaking". It took around 14 hours of afk to actually get a full faction bar. So...I really didn't see how it was so bad.

What made this particular exploit so bad was that it prevented legitimate players from being able to hit the scoreboard. The challenge missions are all about the high score table -- this kept people who were going in and playing the game the right way (That means, at least partly, not sleeping while doing it.) from being able to accomplish that.

I didn't bitch about hero fast faction farming, I don't bitch about speed clears or SF or anything else that doesn't directly (and by directly I'm not talking about the "economy") affect me. This particular exploit had direct effect on real, legitimate players. I'm very glad to see it gone.

Regina Buenaobra · Jan 19, 2010, 08:43 PM // 20:43

Just to let you know, I updated my wiki with info on the next couple skill balances.

kupp · Jan 19, 2010, 08:48 PM // 20:48

Looks like this means I'll get half my money.

Thank you for the heads up Regina.

(and the money too.)

Good, at least the reason one of my mules was hacked got fixed with this update.

O.O thx for the update Regina! Definitely looking forward to next month's skill update.

Also, Wintersday Redux for a full week+? Wow - gogo MPB farm

Aussie Boy · Jan 20, 2010, 04:03 AM // 04:03

Oh Noes now i have to fight and kill things to actually get the last 8mil lux points I need :P
Ok yeah I only found out about this "Glitch" last week about him getting stuck under the bridge.
Same as the Keg farm only found that a few days before it was nerfed
i'm always slow at finding these things out till it's too late. LOL

The majority of people doing the AFK farm just filled their bars and zoned out to trade it in. Killing the adepts for points was a waste of precious AFK time, lol. The Luxons always have Jade Arena, lol. Not sure if the Kurz will have anything after the nerfs come as all their team build revolve around 600 and SF SC's.

Zahr Dalsk · Jan 20, 2010, 05:42 AM // 05:42

ToA and Doomlore are going to be fun when SF gets nerfed.

Gigashadow · Jan 20, 2010, 08:14 AM // 08:14

They should have made this weekend "Double Zos Shivros Points Weekend" just to rub it in.

If you want a wiki that tells you nothing useful, practically never gets updated, and has a 50% chance of being broken by any update made to any page, then sure.

I agree and truth be told they probably should have left Amatz Basin/Aurios Mines alone. Were they degenerate? Hell yes...but at least people were legitimately playing them.

I only know of 1 AFK'er who actually made the scoreboard, and that was because he afk'd for 3 days and then killed the adepts. And his score was like.....almost at the bottom.

There was no incentive for an AFK'er to make the scoreboard, seeing as they couldn't earn any more faction, and just so you know the people on the board are all real players (except for a few bots).

If you're upset that you couldn't make it, it has nothing to do with AFK'ers....it just means you're not very good at the arena....

Really? Wow...

This shows how completely ignorant you are of the arena. Please note: ignorance is different than stupidity; ignorance can be cured. Go look at the scoreboard in Zos Shivros right now. See things like 127 points making the daily board? Know that until this update the bottom scores were in the 3,000 point range? Hmmm... I think something changed! Wonder what it might have been...
