People are running around in Fort Aspenwood using Unyielding Aura, then taking it off the person, which results in a permament death.

Hopeful this post will get ANet's attention and they can fix it ASAP.

Edit: Gah, Can't fix my spelling error in the title.

And what good does that do for them? How? Could you elaborate please? (Sorry haven't played Aspenwood yet)

Errrr it doesn't really do them any good. They just get to be an ass.

Edit: Normally you get rezzed a few seconds after you die. In this case the Monk would rez you with unyielding and then cancel it (causing you to die again), after which you don't get auto rezzed anymore.

I was a little confused by your topic here, becuase I know that the person could just be res'd by a team mate, so I looked it up on GuildWiki. Lookit at the notes near the bottom:

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Unyielding_Aura

Now that's a bug. Report it please, and it should get fixed soon.

hopefully they'll ban the players intentionally using it to grief. they banned players using the 'glitch' to team kill in arenas after all right?

My god.Spies?Jesus, this is turning out to be like the bullshit that is Ragnarok Online.

(For those of you who don't know, it was common place for major guilds to have spies in other major enemy guilds, specifically during War of Emperium.)

How silly.Once again,Guildwars is Serious Business.

its griefing pure and simple and in violation of the EULA. those exploiting it should get perma banned for causing this perma death.

Perma ban sounds fair to me. Someone been THAT sad as to join opposing teams to sabotage it needs to get a life or to just learn a lesson in fair play.

Makes me glad i haven't bought factions.... there are just too many ridiculous bugs. Shame the only use this elite will ever have is as a sabotage bug...

Was it possible to do this in GvG? I wonder if UA cuts out the res in those areas as well?

Don't you get points for continuous kills at fort aspenwood? If so I can see how this could be a problem, becuase you could only kill someone once and thus only get the points or killing them once.

Use of explot = Ban
Cant believe the players who use that exploit should get away with it

They'll get their beans... or brocolli...

Someone should go over there and discourage them

No points for kills, winning is always flat 600 points (well not always, there has been odd 602's sometimes o.0), no additional points given out. Dunno what factors affect the losing side's faction, it might have something to do with kills, but I'd say it's mostly time based.

Let me guess, that Monk's name ends with "Ka" I reported a monk by the name doing the same thing about a week ago. He was yelling at the opposing team to stop killing him because he was and I quote, "F--ing with the Lux"

If this is the same guy, I'm going to get really pissed because it seems like ANET is doing jack to ban these people, even though I know several people had reported him.

This is clearly griefing. Even if you didnt know the side effects of this bug, you'd wise up after two of your teammates are not rezzing after you're using UA on them. But here it looks like almost the whole team has been permadeathed by this guy. This was on purpose.

That's so wrong it's funny. Some people just have no since of fair play anymore. That's a "bug" needing a fix quick.

Anet dont ban people for the 40% enchant bug, GVG door bug, 12v12 bug, or any other exploit you can think off, and 99% of abusive behavior.

Moral of the story, do what the **** you want, anet wont do jack.

Well for one this sort of thing is breaking many many Eula and RoC rules in the game. I really hope this exploite is taken care of swiftly.

Eh not that I agree with this practice but how on earth is Anet going to remove an exploit that uses a completely legitimate skill?

The only way to stop this is by removing the skill or giving it an insane cost/recharge/cast time. This is not an exploit as I read it but assisine behavior by jerks...and as far as I know there's no cure for that.

Short of banning the people responsible ofcourse which in my book is more then warranted.

I don't mind the skill myself, but people abusing a bug that casues it to bork up the Auto Res timer to not work.

Actually, all they have to do is change the code on the res timer so that UY doesnt casue it to bork up.

Was a reference to the bug where a person could kill their teammates when a RA match started. The bug was widely exploited before it was fixed, and I thought some people received vacations due to it. Teammates.

I agree.. they tend to let alot of exploiters go as long as there are enough people doing it. But by god many of the people who exploited the ascencion XP bug got banned for quite a bit (can check many older threads for the exploiters complaining they got banned). Didn't hear anyone getting punished for the RA exploit either.

Hopefully they get their act together - this has been known for atleast a few days now.

it's a matter of game breaking vs. just really annoying

grief enough people and just see what happens...really one guy following around maybe 20 people over a day isn't exactly a big deal

everyone just feels their issue must be soooo important...
