What's he gonna do? Nerf crafting and drop rates some more? That'll punish those that already benefitted from those exploits!

What are they considering exploits exactly? Pc hacking obviously. Wall glitching? Using broken game mechanics?

In the discord it is being said that on the stream they said that they are aware of the incursion cheesing and they don't like it and they are currently thinking about possible punishments. No other comment yet.

Could be an empty threat, sure, to try to scare people away from doing the cheese. Usually hard to punish people for using in game mechanics to their own advantage in PvE.

Good.. Good.
Patch it and roll it back.

Roll people's accounts back because of their holes?

Just noise. Trying to thwart players from attempting the cheese. It's a scare tactic.

Using exploits is against the code of conduct, so no, it's not OK. We know that we have to act a lot more strongly towards players who use exploits, and we are working on that.

I will believe it when I see it. If they give hackers a 3 day vacation I doubt we will see strong punishment. Anything less than a roll back or perm ban is no real punishment. A week off to get a full 240 gear set is easily worth it.

It's a lot easier to do that to one team, that is claiming a worlds first record, than it is to do it to a huge collection of your player base that is exploiting your game because the loot system is total garbage.

 

[darkwing]

I've done 2 runs that were 20-25 mins.

600,000 sticky bomb damage yo

how did you overcome the BFB damage cap? I'm at 44k and I see 250k in the skill detail

 

[f@luS]

Finally got He sniper

Classic m1a (56k base dps) with talent prepares and deadly which doesn't need electronic so I'm good

Or

First wave m1a (61k) with some Talents I won't have because I don't so electronic


Thanks !

There should be a way to save your build.

Yeah, just saying "it's in game so it's fine" isn't a sure way to protect yourself. Like I said earlier, they've got to have a way to look at mission logs on their backend for balancing or "10 billion LMB guys dead in the first 3 months of launch!!!!". It'd pretty trivial to separate what a "good" incursion run looks like from a cheesed one. I'm saying this as someone who will probably do it tonight because anything more than a 3day ban is unlikely, and fuck it.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

The APC has a crit spot at the back that causes an extra 100k damage, plus armor destruction value affects sticky bomb damage.

Well Hamish previously said something like "we put it in the game so we can't punish people for using it" about the BK farming glitch. So if they're gonna go back on that principle then they should at least publicly warn people of what will happen before they start changing their principles.

 

[FLAguy954]

Lmao, I was doing some matchmaking for Lexington and I join this group with a guy who had a gear score of 2... Yeah.

 

[VE3TRO]

3507 players killed in the Dark Zone by some dude. Doesn't say the most exploits used by a player, unfortunately.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pEWK4Ph3pE

300 hours? I'm at 380.

 

[fr0st]

So no one on ps4 doing incursion cheese?

 

[bigzgod]

Where's the crit spot? Can't seem to consistently hit it.

 

[gutterboy44]

Releasing a broken game for $60 and then continuing to patch it into a more broken and oppressive state is against the AAA code of conduct, so no it is not ok that you had players locked out of the game for weeks on end.

 

[theWB27]

Whatever they do or don't this is the true test.

How far back do they roll if they do? Just the incursion? BK? What's fair?

 

[FLAguy954]

Anyone on PC up for some cheese?

[lt519]

Base crit cap is 60% I believe.

So that caps with pulse as well? So I basically went overboard on Critical Chance? I could definitely rework some mods to bring it down.

 

[Xion_Stellar]

It's not unprecedented in online games http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/ensidia-temporarily-banned-for-exploits/

And since nobody is suppose have more than 1 piece of GS 240 atm than it wouldn't be hard to pin point who has done the exploit if they do decide to punish the exploiters/cheaters.

IIRC they stack 60% +40% off Pulse=100% Critical Rate

 

[bjaelke]

The weekly thing can be circumvented just by joining someone who hasn't completed it yet. Honest "mistake" if you can even call it that.

The 240 gear thing is easily/accidentally encountered cause of the party leader error though.

Ahhh I didn't know that I tough it was only possible with exploits at the moment so I guess that method of tracking down exploiters is out of the question than.

Welp this poor form of implementation is at fault than but I still think that they should get rid of Mobile Cover.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Where's the crit spot? Can't seem to consistently hit it.

Door on the back, below the handle. Where it says 'US army'.

I aim for the spot left of the 'U' of US and get 25% of shots to crit.

Sometimes just below the eye hole, it's not very consistent.

And since nobody is suppose have more than 1 piece of GS 240 atm than it wouldn't be hard to pin point who has done the exploit if they do decide to punish the exploiters/cheaters.

Player with 4 lvl 30 alts can have 4 x 240 items.

Do what Sony did with warhawk when they added trophies and stat wiped....I also stopped playing after that patch

[Mullah88]

Haha that's the only way to get in front of this, they'll lose a lot of players but they'll save the games economy lol. Either that or keep patching and more loop holes will open up

 

[gutterboy44]

All they need to do is make loot drop properly like they said they would from all lvl 32 named in pve and DZ and Incursion, make 4 HE's drop again from CM, unfuck the economy, and then just move the goal posts forward again. Make higher GS stuff and just push it all up again. Rolling back is going to kill this game off for a lot of ppl, cause there is no way they do that right. Unless you streamed yourself doing it, how would they prove it?

neither you need an m1a with balanced talent even a purple one is better than both.

is that shit normal around you crazies?

Stamina?
Electronics?

 

[Deku Tree]

That is probably a picture taken while a lot of multipliers are active. Like having the full striker set etc. your DPS goes up while in Smart Cover and other effects etc.

 

[bs000]

I joined one where they had 29. Was pretty much just a naked char. Those trolls.

 

[HoodWinked]

meanginless. there are gloves that give you 9.5% crit chance for 3 bullets. where as savage gives you 13% nearly all the time. difference the useless gloves actually inflate your dps sheet while savage gloves do not affect your dps stat but does way more actual dps.

 

[DomsPlaying]

Only have the M44 I crafted. I haven't had a chance to play much since the patch because of work. It helped him upgrade more anyway. He doesn't have time to min/max his guy, so anything pretty good is great for him.

You still rek with that sniper. Both of them are dope, and actually M44 might be better for you with that one-hit-one-kill mentality!

As for grinding DZ to get that M1A and AUG, not going to happen for me either unless I stay there every second from now until tomorrow night. No worries, let's get an Incursion done instead..

 

[HoodWinked]

im thinking about how probable it would be for me to hit dz rank 75 before the blueprints cycle out. i think im 66 or was it 68. there are going to be a ton of ppl farming so it may be more difficult as well.

 

[Blunoise]

Anybody up for an incursion ?

 

[Wolfe]

So that caps with pulse as well? So I basically went overboard on Critical Chance? I could definitely rework some mods to bring it down.

Sorry I should have clarified that I meant base crit before multipliers such as pulse. In the stat screen it caps out at 60%.



Anyone trying to run the incursion on PS4? Got a few attempts in with randoms yesterday but never managed to clear wave 4

 

[gunawi]

You don't have to do this, or need alts.

As long as the team leader is someone who has not done CM, everyone gets 240 loot.

Are you saying 600k sticky bomb damage collectively as a four person fireteam?

Or you yourself are doing 600k?

I ask cause I was under the impression that there was a hard cap at 250k for the sticky bomb.

Gimme your gear so I can get my electronics high like yours

100k sticky bomb doesn't cut it lol

Edit:

Almost missed this, sending you a FR

 

[bjaelke]

The 250k cap is from skill power alone. You can then add armor/elite damage and skill modifiers to double it.

I'm at 500k while still maintaining 175 scavenging.

 

[lt519]

If they weren't planning a new Gear Score tier for the May incursion, they are now.

 

[Wolfe]

Put Neutral Lighting on. Wait for nightime and go to co-ordinates 795-2424 on the map. I love it.

So I'm on PS4 (I know you're on X1), not sure how you're using/seeing coordinates.

Was curious what you were talking about but I have no idea how to know where 795-2424 is atm.
