Describe the issue you are experiencing: Companies can pick 50 rather than 10 for invasion, this is a terrible design since companies value higher rates of winning thus all abuse the exploit caused by the incompetent developer.
you can kick players until you get those in you want basicly. This often results in kicking the same innocent players 3-7 times until you get those you wanted.
Is this a bug or an exploit: exploit
(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: it existed since release and still does
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: nope
What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: officer within war repeat kick until you get others who signed up later that you preffer.
how to solve this bug: add a kick limit and increase company picks from 10 to 40. furthermore reduce the coffee time of the developer/designer who left such an obvious exploit open and for so long.
alternatively you could make the kick limit weekly thus it is more enticing cooperating with strangers than kick and hope you get what you want.
the exploit is kicking indiscriminately until you get your own members only, this effectively changes 10 to 50 but those who signed up will first know when the invite pops on/off as the system goes for you first for invites.
it has nothing to do with companies kicking but rather that companies are forced to use this to obtain something close to war rooster and higher win chance… /facepalm
this is why i suggested changing it from 10 to 40 -.-
again… what is up with kids and reading these days…
This still means it is an exploit by definition, their stance is just not to see it as such but if we go by the literal definition of exploit it means to make use of something in an unintended way which benefits you.
their intended setup was 10 with the ability to kick, the exploit is that there is no limit to kicks thus selecting 50 is possible.
it is no diferent than giving the player a sword that when swung lifts you lightly before you fall to the ground but if you sheathe the sword after a swing to swing it again you can repeat the swing that lifts you lightly and start flying… that is the essence of an exploit.
what they reffer to here is that they will not penalize you since if they had to they would have to do it to 90% of the playerbase. the fault is theirs and it is already part of the core until solved. no different than swapping weapon mid dodge to cancel dodge, its not intended but they cannot punish it either. still means it is an exploit
This is not an exploit. It’s an error done by AGS.
My solution was to have several invasions (like gw2 overflow map). The defending company picks the 50 for the main invasion which dictates the outcome but every1 can participate in the overflow invasion and get rewarded
there is an invasion discord to fully organize invasions with people that have the correct gear/weapons/buffs etc to win. you seem to want to go in, do what you want, not care about having the city trashed. you’re the problem!
the exploit is not the players but the design… how often must i repeat for people not to read title and then assume the rest without reading a single word ?..
The Exploit is an Error in design which causes companies to take actions only possible due to the existing exploit to circumvent it. first of all they should change it so people are not forced to only have 10 measly picks as that is far too little and they should also scrap the exploit part.
honestly speaking it should not be too diff from war. a copy paste would be enough but since they wanted different i suggested 40 instead of 10 picks. as an in-between even tho copy paste of war signup is the fast solution to this mess.
