Nyzul Isle Assault Bug

[Camate]

Greetings!

We recently confirmed that there is a bug for Nyzul Isle assault where users are able to know the order of lamps via the usage of unintended exploits.

The development team is currently working to fix this as soon as possible, but please keep in mind that using third-party tools or any form of game exploit usage will not be tolerated and that we are continuously keeping track and dealing with this issue.

Finally, if you are aware of players possibly using exploits, we urge you to make a report to the Special Task Force to help facilitate our investigation.

Why not just remove lamp floors entirely instead? This event is the most broken thing in FFXI as is, reducing the success rate of the cheaters to 0% (like the non-cheaters) will just make Neo Nyzul completely dead instead of just mostly dead.

Have to agree, having lamps at all in an event that doesn't save progress and has a random jump progression system on top of many other artificial time sink/spam blockers is rather asinine and redundant on keeping people from gear. Though, I am a bit tickled that there might be bans incoming from people using these exploits.....I wonder if it will be as grandiose as the salvage bans with people saying "They were just jealous of my awesome skills they couldn't replicate so they banned me"

Man proposes.

God disposes.

Sadly, God does not just dispose of "lamp order" floors instead.

Took long enough, only been mentioned in EVERY Nyzul Isle thread.

Least then they may look into fixing it properly.

PS. Well done Annelisse for providing the youtube video the Japanese linked to as proof of the cheat.

Are you an idiot? That squashes any hopes of you getting a win at all, at least before you could have leeched wins off the real players that aren't helpless and need their hand held like some of the annoying casuals on these forums.

Do we have someone admitting to cheating?!

This is what I was trying to tell the people on the Alla forums, but all they could do was spout a bunch of stick-it-to-The-Man-for-holding-a-brother-down justifications for cheating to win. I even agreed with them that Neo-Nyzul is a horribly broken event, and needed desperately to be fixed, but they didn't take very kindly to what I had to say.

I hope this does end up being a wake-up call to people with a devil may care attitude and to SE as well.

To the players: Don't cheat for gear no matter how awesome it is or how unfair the event it's hidden behind is.

To SE: Don't create events where people feel the need to cheat to even have a chance.

Both sides are absolutely moronic in this case, and I don't have an ounce of sympathy or understanding for either.

If so he's hardly the first. People have been admitting it pretty blatantly all over the place.

So using the cheats someone else cooked up isn't having your hand held?

You hardcore people asked for something difficult that only the best geared players could complete with rare and awesome rewards. SE granted your wish! Oh, but they're like an evil genie. They grant your wish, but in a sick and twisted way. They've always been like that though, and you guys should have known better than to ask for what you did. When you got it you found you couldn't do much better at it than the annoying casuals could. Then you cheat at the very event you requested, and rather than awesome you look like a bunch of idiots. My friends, I present to you the best and brightest of FFXI! Look upon them and be amazed!

So your point is a that preventing the use of cheats will prevent anyone from winning, and that prior to this only "real players" can win, therefore only people who use cheats are "real players"? You're silly.
