Seal Team Exploiting Classic Item Recharging

[Fammaden]

They are going to power up what they want faster than the average players regardless, it doesn't change much to slow them down a little bit. Its not like this is a plat dupe being ignored or something, but it is kinda cheesy that they knowingly allow it to exist. The hardcore blue99'ers had their eyes on this item in discord chats etc well before green launched.

If they're not using wands they will find another way. You can't control neckbeards. They will find away. Stop allowing yourself to be triggered how other people play the game in a way that largely doesn't effect you.

This has been done on blue for years, there are just more, better places to do it there so I guess there was never an outcry because they weren't taking one of the few 40+ camps.

Honestly, it sounds like you are a quad kiter who is mad that there camp was taken by a non quad kiter who was quad kiting more efficiently/easily than you could.

Rumor has it you can buy these wands off of vendors if you catch them at the right time.

How is it an exploit though? They are using an item in a way it was intended, by clicking the charges. They are not abusing the items effect, it's an aoe, they are using it as such. And they are the using the extremely common and well known recharging bug, which is in fact, classic from everything I've read/heard. And that the GM's are fully aware of, and allow, heck I've even seen them oversee people recharging their items after the infamous puppet strings "robbery".

Weren't they nerfed on blue?

Doesn't seem like an exploit to me, just someone using the game mechanics to their advantage

There are lots of things on P1999, I would call an exploit:

• Item recharging
• Multi-questing
• Looking through walls
• etc...

Just to name a few. It is pretty obvious that they were originally oversights or bugs, that just never got fixed. I will bet phat-plats that none of these were described in the original design-document as "features".

Fixing all those would make P1999, a much more polished and consistent game imho.

It is fine that veterans can gain an advantage in the game by in-depth knowledge of game-mechanics, but purposely leaving old exploits open just to cater to the veterans, isn't exactly what I would call good game-design. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The P1999 staff is in a better position than Sony ever was: They are not financially dependent on specific deadlines. They actually have the luxury of taking their time and do things better than Sony, no x-mas deadline and all the bugs have already been discovered. (If only someone would leak the source-code, that reverse-engineering must be superhard...)
