PSA: Wurmslayer

[Handull]

So if you still have your Wurmslayer in your offhand, please read this thread...

I was one of those people who thought I would keep my wurmy in off hand until my toon died, which on my Ranger seemed easy enough as long as I kept SoW up and avoided taking any DTs. Sure, I had to live with the fact that my secondary slot appeared empty, but my Wurmy was still visiable and I still slashed for over 70 dmg.

Well that all changed when I just looted a crappy primary/secondary dagger from a mob I killed. The dagger auto went into my secondary slot and I stopped slashing. I also wasn't able to loot anything because something was hiding on my cursor. So I log out to fix the loot issue of course to find my Wurmy now on my cursor. FML.

TD;DR If you still have a Wurmy in your secondary, never right click loot an weapon that you can equip in your secondary.

sounds like you were exploiting

sounds like you were exploiting

how? multiple items have been nerfed on this server in this way, and they always retain there previous properties until changed.

by your logic half the server will be exploiting the day after this gets patched :O

Haters gonna hate,

I love people doing quirky things in this game and sharing their stories, one of the reasons I hang around.

I love it. Great post for once Sam.

How is this cheating or anything even close to it? There were no exploits involved at all in fact the OP not taking any action is how this happened. How can not taking an action be cheating especially when it behaves exactly as programmed and known.

Ahhh you people hurt my head.

especially when it behaves exactly as programmed and known.

Generally an exploit involves, ya know, exploiting a flaw or oversight in how something behaves "exactly as programmed".

this is a known issue whenever an item has properties removed. Has also happened recently with some armor set that had its allowed races nerfed, it will happen with Bearskin bags, and I expect it to also happen when Antonican Javs get nerfed to non-stacking.

They're just giving the OP crap.

I just searched through all the GM posts I could find on the topic, and none of them, as far as I can find, discuss the ethics of wearing an item that was properly slotted, but retroactively changed to be unequipable.

I can see how some might argue that knowing it was changed imposes a duty on you to unequip it, but I think it's more like a manastone; it stopped dropping (IE, you can't equip the wurmy), but if you have it, you can use it. Think of it as being grandfathered in.

I'm 100% confirmed serious

[Handull]

I'm 100% confirmed serious

what are you serious about? if you want to talk about people actually exploiting the game we can go over to RnF and discuss it, but this is a known mechanic which I questioned even before it happened.

confirmed 100% not banned :P

[Barkingturtle]

confirmed 100% not banned :P

Maybe so, but sounds like you lost 100% of your Wurmy for cheating. :(

didn't lose the wurm, though it is slightly useless now

Ah, see.... this is where you went wrong.







I am a ranger so I can make jokes like that.

[Verenity]

The server is forever tainted by this sort of exploitation. Burn it down, wipe it clean.

The old and the new gods? :p

[Originall Prankster]

lol you guys crack me up. the OP was just trying to help people continue to exploit by not looting daggers for their offhands.

Let him help others ! lol

[SamwiseRed]

ye i had a fungi sloted in my head but i accidently looted a cloth cap.

[Hollywood]

Indeed they are... I remember a particularly benevolent act they committed when your charged vendor items got bought.

[Malphite]

I think he should be rerolled until the patch of when wurmslayer was no longer off hand usable. All of that exp he exploited, ruining my immersion.
