Update - Thursday, March 11, 2010

oh yeah, it wasnt pretty sight at 30 seconds of it......thought there was something amiss with it----glad it was fixed (was it????)

Wow...that's too incredible for words.

As for the update, it's nice to see the opposition get some much needed attention. I'm hoping this won't wreck my Hulking Stone Elemental farm too much, though.

EDIT: Energy management + Crude Swing on a monster. Nevermind.

yes it was pretty bad, went with a balanced team to help out a friend get it on their HoM and wiped cause of no hex removal.

was thinking are we the bad in pve now omg gvg makes u a bad pver lolz

I laughed.

Well with St. Patrick's day coming up, it is assumed that that is what the weekend event will be . Four-Leaf Clovers and Shamrock Ale. Maybe it's this weekend or next, I am not sure, but you are right, it usually is posted by now

OMG! i almost fell out of my chair from laughing to hard. that sir was to funny! i loved it! to bad no one made more like this. it would be something funny and cute to read.

there's plenty of allies there to stand beside to preventy KD, i took iau too but never used it.....anet just made the last thing i login for less enjoyable...ah well nvm im quitting PC gaming anyway so not arsed lol

That's a good point. The boss will be able to fulfill the condition for Iron Palm if I'm not mistaken. I did not actually test anything yet. I guess a minipet may even be possible to pop an ally, if only they didn't wander about so much.

Did they ban those who exploited duncan?

Nope, because if they do, they would have to ban everyone that exploited the bug in Arachni where you don't need a key to zone on Level 1. Everyone meaning not just the runner for Arachni, but everyone that bought a run too because those who bought the run knows that the runner of Arachni never really kill the 2 bosses require for the key on Level 1.

Also, ANET would need to ban everyone that use the Portal Jumping Project, which is the same bug as Duncan. A lot of people used it for cart title.

The difference however is that they stated specifically that they were looking into those who exploited Duncan.

I'd prefer that anyone who uses an exploit be banned, whether permanent or temporary. Including those who use Arachni exploits even those who get runs. Ban them all. They agreed to not utilize exploits, ban them. They want to continue to play? Buy a new account.

I wanna make friend with that "monster", Mindblade Spectre for once!

i cant load gw after update?.... it just does the small loading square and go's connecting to arenanet..... fully loads that then go's downloading..... and then it quits 1 second later it restarts and it wont stop doing this. plz help!

Really? Who said ANET will look into those that exploited Duncan? Was it my posting? PRE-APRIL FOOL!!!! You didn't read my other posting at the end. Go read the Game Bug section and my postings at the end.

Also, if they ban for this, they would need to ban for Ghost Runner bug and every bugs in the entire game because people knew a bug existed and take took advantaged of it.

BTW, who says the bug is fixed everywhere????? Sure, Duncan ***MAY*** be fixed, but what about all the other dungeons?????

Have fun!!!

Yes, because you've never utilized an exploit? You've never HFFF, never used HoS and bypassed a portal by accident, etc, etc?

Because damn, the first one sounds a lot like the alternate route in Nolani, while the second sounds a lot like Shadow form.

And while you may not have used shadow form (Because it's not really an exploit, though a lot of people believe it to be so), you probably did do Nolani, and HM if you were going for the title. So either you have mad skilz, or you know that the alternate route made this mission actually possible, because of Captn Suicide out there. Out of 3 characters I've done that mission on, only one (The monk, unsurprisingly) was able to do it without the "Exploit" of the "Alternate" route.

If you ban anyone who's used an exploit, then you're going to be left with a very empty world, left with people who either no longer play or just got the game.

looks like you got your million dollar question answered in that other thread here =p

good to see the updates nows

Woo MQSC is easier now! Thank god for no enchantment stripping wallows!

Nope. Never done HFFF, never used HoS and bypassed a portal.

You will notice that the quote states...and I'll bold the ACTUAL important parts for you...

Using a skill is not an exploit. Using a skill in a manner that voids game mechanics to provide an advantage that is totally unintended (For example: Bypassing 4 other bosses and locked doors) is what is an exploit.

I didn't even know about the alternate route till you told me. I've always just kept Rurik alive. I believe that to actually be even easier. No time limit. Just keep him alive. Not difficult. Even in HM. I am a Ranger too. Not only that but many call my build to be "Silly". So if you can't do it then perhaps I in fact do have "mad skillz"...

Methinks you overestimate the amount of people who exploit. Even the Mallyx event had a very very small amount of people banned. The world wasn't suddenly barren then. I doubt the world would be barren now should Duncan include bans for those who exploited the game.

It'll wind up like RR, no statement and no action...better to just not trouble yourself with it if precedent is any indicator. On the other hand they could have already hit the big fish, there's really no way to know.
