destro exploiting dragon bane for free 500-0 wins

[Meliannia]

Dragon Bane Feature for last THREE HOURS
doors wont even open for both teams
order stuck at base
destro exploit jump over gates and win scen 500-0 in 2mins over and over and over

scen cant be taken offline doors cant be opened

took me 1 hour just to get order gms to do a serverwide announcement for order not to queue this scen

would have thought it would be a15min reoccurring warming until the issue is fixed, but no was a 'one off' so any1 who missed it or logged in after it missed it and queues event scens and loses 500-0 in 2mins to destro gate jumpers

can we not have a serverwide announcement for Order not to queue this scen every 15mins plz?
and a destro gm to tell destro not toi queue scen and NOT to jump gate and/or be Punished.?

200+ free destro 500-0 exploit wins so far and counting

this should a be a priority issue, plz resolve it.

You call this an exploit? Players just queue for sc. It's not their fault, that it's bugged.

[Bajlk]

It can only be intended otherwise it wouldn't be like this since hours.

Looking at the title, I believe OP might be!

Guess it technically comes down to this;

Is it intended that you shouldn't be able to jump over the gate? Is it clear that it is a bug/not intended? Do you gain something from doing it and have you done it repeatedly?
If the answer to all is Yes, then it is an exploit.
This I don't know.. Unlikely.
But..
Is it unintended that you win 500-0 because your opponents are locked in their base? Is it clear that it is a bug/not intended? Do you gain something from doing it and have you done it repeatedly?
If the answer to all is Yes, then it is an exploit.

According to this guy

It can only be intended otherwise it wouldn't be like this since hours.

It cannot be an exploit, case closed, sorry Mel

Maybe they queue for SC to play a SC but its bugged. Don't blame the players or accuse them of exploiting for a problem with the game that I'm sure devs are trying to fix.

The weekend warfront and its +50% renown gain will be extended till Tuesday noon, altdorf time (1 extra day).

MaxHayman had to go through numerous hours after midnight to find and fix the issue properly. So I really hope that I don't have to read more of these:

There is no "order GM" or "destro GM". Game Masters are free to play whatever they want and they will objectively handle each report, careless whether it's on Order or Destruction side.

Did you know that the active GMs yesterday were following up with the team regarding the doors? Did you know that they've tried breaking the doors for some time, with the commands they have, but couldn't? You just know that they finally dropped an announcement, but you don't know anything before that.

Please avoid these comments, it's really disrespectful to the people in subject's time and efforts.

Does the scoreboard in the end saying Destruction won really matter that much to you?
That you rather sit afk in spawn for 15 min?

[Meliannia]

Destro doors locked, order doors locked
order cant get out

destro use exploit climb up hill in base to jump over locked doors knowing doing this would lead to 500-0 in 2mins all bases taken event achievement

In the words of Rift Senior Gms 2016

"If it looks like an exploit
If you think it could be an exploit
if it performs like an exploit.
It's an exploit."

Not sayign destro should be punished for this (scen should have been taken down within 5mins imO) that's a debate for another day, maybe if a Gm had told destro serverwide not to queue and not to use the exploit would have helped destro out. and any who then did ignore Gm warning and continued to queue Dragon bane and gate jump then to be classed as exploiting.
but the bototm line is Destro knew the situation and what they were doing so i believe it to be an exploit, exploited a situation to their advantage that theyre not meant to do, full well knowing opposite team couldn't do same and thus would lead to 500-0 in 2mins renown and 3 base win achievement in the bag.

Immoral and unethical? Fosho
Exploiting? Very likely

hats off to the Destro who didnt queue/didnt use this gate jump method. independent thought , resilience and ethics>self gain are rare nouns, well played those who didnt succumb to the weakness of temptation and stood strong.

Yeah it does when it goes on for THREE HOURS dozens of 500-0, 3 base wins
If it had been resolved in 15mins then youre right, would not have mattered but three hours of solid 500-0 for one team in all lev 16 to 40 brackets, , and winning team in order to win, exploiting their locked gates. is not a good thing.
