I lol'ed.
Whoever thinks hammers are bad obviously doesn't know how to play the game or put bars togeather.
As for this update, in the words of the International Man of Mystery, "Whoop de-doo Basil".

Zos Shivros fix, part 1.
this update doesnt fix the biggest problem, but its a great step in the right direction, and I'm very gald to see it happen.
I'm still sad the people who exploited that bug (and the scum who post instructions on how to exploit that bug for the other degenerates to follow) werent banned, they definitely deserved it. but it's still a great addition to the otherwise "meh" update.
Thanks for that one.

Zos Shivros? Man, why do I always find out about game breaking farms/exploits AFTER they are fixed. Like the Urgoz hopping vampire farm.

I'm a little worried about the bug fix, though. As soon as the Fast Faction SC's are nerfed (because of shadow form and 600's), I'm worried that it will only be inviting more botting into the game.
Without the afk farm and SC's, I think people will probably be more tempted to bot. Hell, the instructions to do it are already posted everywhere.
/sigh JQ and FA are about to get worse

I didn't bitch about hero fast faction farming, I don't bitch about speed clears or SF or anything else that doesn't directly (and by directly I'm not talking about the "economy") affect me. This particular exploit had direct effect on real, legitimate players. I'm very glad to see it gone.

Oh Noes now i have to fight and kill things to actually get the last 8mil lux points I need :P
Ok yeah I only found out about this "Glitch" last week about him getting stuck under the bridge.
Same as the Keg farm only found that a few days before it was nerfed
i'm always slow at finding these things out till it's too late. LOL

The majority of people doing the AFK farm just filled their bars and zoned out to trade it in. Killing the adepts for points was a waste of precious AFK time, lol. The Luxons always have Jade Arena, lol. Not sure if the Kurz will have anything after the nerfs come as all their team build revolve around 600 and SF SC's.

ToA and Doomlore are going to be fun when SF gets nerfed.
Gigashadow
They should have made this weekend "Double Zos Shivros Points Weekend" just to rub it in.

There was no incentive for an AFK'er to make the scoreboard, seeing as they couldn't earn any more faction, and just so you know the people on the board are all real players (except for a few bots).
If you're upset that you couldn't make it, it has nothing to do with AFK'ers....it just means you're not very good at the arena....

This shows how completely ignorant you are of the arena. Please note: ignorance is different than stupidity; ignorance can be cured. Go look at the scoreboard in Zos Shivros right now. See things like 127 points making the daily board? Know that until this update the bottom scores were in the 3,000 point range? Hmmm... I think something changed! Wonder what it might have been...

Oops... Guess you were just plain wrong about who/what was making the top scores, since it is obvious that this update has changed it.
AFK'ing for rewards is wrong, and whether the board is now opened up as a result of AFK'ers no longer being able to exploit the pathing or Bots no longer being able to use a certain .dll file doesn't really matter. The update fixed it, no matter what it was and that I'm very happy to see.

He implies he knows about what afk'ers hit the board, and when, and which names on the board are bots, and which are AFKers, and which are actual human teams playing "for real". Too funny.
So, what, EVERY afk'er immediately reported each score to you upon completion, Hay-soos? you were the AFK/Botting ringleader, then?
I can show 4 times he stated that using this didnt, COULDNT make the scoreboard and didnt affect it at all. Now he says it did, but only a little, and only one time, right? riiiight.
As for incentive, what incentive does any player in a challenge mission have? what incentive did AA have to climb the guild ladder? Maybe they wanted thier name on the board?
