When did this happen? (Date and Relative time; please include your timezone): IN OPR 1/1/2023 @ 11pm CST.
Elyx7 was at Empower Cap and started out hitting everyone in OPR non stop killing them in 2 shots almost one after another one. Not right, certainly no fun. Muskets are absolutely killing OPR. Get rid of them. People only use them in OPR, almost never use them anywhere else. It seems to be an absolute battle for the Devs to work out a balance for the musket, so just do away with them. It is killing the PVP landscape. You can easily kill anyone with the zoom in feature and distance before anyone even has a chance to approach them.
I would recommend reporting this to the exploit email as well as reporting the specific user using it. Spreading it further doesn’t help them solve it faster.
Just here to defend myself. I never used the bow glitch yesterday I had a rapier equipped the whole time. Next time please prove it before you make accusations.
I didn’t report your name in game or on the report feature on the Dev site, I simply posted and said that on a 1000 to 400 point slaughter you had over 30 kills, were killing people immediately. Also this exploit works with any off hand weapon in the same way, I just asked around asking about other exploits with the musket to people and someone brought me to a fort and we dueled as well as watched a stream on the dummies and showed me with a bow. They also did the same thing in a duel with a hatchet and they got the defy death perk with their musket.
The musket is flat out killing OPR, truly the only place people use the weapon. Kinda funny how everyone started using muskets when this current wave of exploits started making their way through the game.
This actually works for every weapon you can get death defy from the hatchet on the great axe for example, you can do 2k plus damage with a life staff with bow off hand
absolutely insane that this is still on the forums and there’s been no response to this post or the other one about the glitch. even if people aren’t abusing it in wars (they are) the issue is ruining people’s motivation to play and instilling doubts about the integrity of the game. We saw people quit mid war in a war last night and the army basically gave up halfway through after everyone started suspecting the glitch was being abused. Someone glitches out the tp and makes some extra starmetal and the tp is shut down immediately and there’s a message about it when you log in, people have been abusing this glitch for months and we get no response?
Yeah the glitch works for any weapon, I have seen people in OPR running Death Defy greatsword, Greatsword with GA perks (movespeed when chasing/30% bonus damage after hitting 10 times). It’s pretty bad.
At the end of the day I could exploit but chose not to. Hell i found out how to do the exploit on my own but as one of the better muskets on the server along with constant accusations I’m not gonna be able to look myself in the mirror and break my code of ethics. Cheaters deserve to be banned.
