We are hitting very very critical lows in terms of game breaking bugs and lack of PvP content.
This bug using passives from other (secondary) weapons MUST be stopped. It is spreading rampantly across servers and no longer select companies dirty little secret to abuse.
We are pleading with you AGS. More PVP content and fixes.
I logged on today thinking I would do some OPR and all the global chat was talking about the muskets using this exploit to basically one-shot people. Logged out and played some DAoC Eden instead.
Are there any NA East servers populated enough to get decent OPR que pops that aren’t riddled with muskets that love hopping on every new exploit? I have 2 free transfers I’ve never used.
Yo what you on about instruction un clear
It’s a known exploit that has recently been made public.
You can use passives of a 2nd weapon on your main hand weapon as long as you don’t swap back.
(Not sharing how to actually trigger the bug on here for obvious reasons, but that’s the short-hand of what’s going on)
Interesting. So you can’t use your off hand? If that’s the case doesn’t seem too absurd. Still crazy though
As usual it’s mostly super messed up when a musket uses it from 100m away. Using all the damage bonuses of bow while sniping people with the musket.
Yes I can see that being an issue
no no no, they will give us more clown skins next week and we should be happy about it
Yeah I just went over and Played Warzone 2.0, less cheaters, and everyone has a sniper rifle, and they usually aren’t one shooting people 
(Odd huh)
I did get hit for 7k today. It was a headshot. No powder burn or shooter’s stance. The musket user had 8 ME stacks. Their musket was an attunment + keenly jagged + keen. I was using light armor with <150con 34% thrust resistance and 3 pieces of elemental aversion.
I don’t think I’ve ever been hit that hard. I’m pretty sure that person was exploiting because my damage isn’t that high when I use the musket.
Oh that explains seeing defy death trigger with hatchet sheathed, although i have no idea how to trigger it, and prefer not to
Since that announcement that the staff would be taking their humanly deserved time off for holidays this went rampant.
And this is to blame on AGS only with past bugs and exploits that went unpunished, people have adopted the “exploit everything and everywhere, they ain’t gonna ban us all”. The bots are another example of AGS disinterested policy.
2 days from now someone will ask “hey where are the players” and someone will say “they quit because they suck”. Nah man. They quit because of stuff like this, keeps piling up and stacking on top of other already existing and unaddressed bugs, regardless of the flavor of content that you seek.
Anyway, don’t drink and drive, no need to start 2023 with a bloodbath.
Is this an old exploit that has returned with a recent patch or restart?
People say it’s an old exploit that people have been using for a long time, but it finally became public.
If I had to guess, there is probably a damage mitigation exploit that some people know about.
Seems like these bugs happen every patch. I really hope they get better quality control in the new year. It would be great if all the things actually worked as intended.
Sad, it’s been a thing for months and months now. Apparently kept quiet among small circles.
Now everyone is doing it.
This is apparently going to be a common thing. This game is such a waste of time…
I knew something had to be going on… I’ve been hit several times in the last two weeks for 8-9k in a 200 con full 625 with thrust protection.
This needs more attention or it will get burried
Sadly I fear it won’t be addressed any time soon.
how long did it take for window mode immortality to get fixed?
Roughly 3 months after launch. But it did exist since alpha, through 4 betas as well so by that logic. 2-3 years
