Titan Hard Mode Exploit?

[Alhanelem]

Ya, but u cant jump off untill the fight starts. and how can you steal aggro from all the way down there ???

There is a way to jump off, from what ive heard, there is a spot where you can glitch through the barrier if you jump at or run into it just right.

Regen. Each tick gives some hate to the healer.

If I am understanding what others have said correctly (I was not aware of this exploit until SE announced it), this is how it worked:

WHM casts regen on tank.
WHM jumps off the cliff while no one is in combat so that the WHM will still have 1 HP.
Tank runs in but does nothing else.
Titan runs for healer because regen is ticking on the tank. (If a tank is pulling mobs and not using abilities, the regen will be enough to aggro the healer -- you've probably seen it when tanks pull groups of mobs... some will go for the healer if the tank doesn't AoE fast enough.)
Titan can't hit the healer because the healer is out of range, but right now, the healer has hate.
Healer spams Medica II for hate.
DPS and tank make sure to not pull hate away from the healer (watching aggro meters) while DPSing him down.
Healer keeps spamming hate-generating abilities. (I'm not sure how the healer doesn't go OOM... unless the bard has manasong up.)
Titan's programming 'breaks' because he can't target his target. He stands there and looks silly while people kill him.

Now that is an exploit. And ppl claims speed runs are (-_-lll

Make me wonder now how many ppl actually cleared Titan using this...

Exactly this.

When heart phase comes up, his script will break and he just stands there, no heart popping out.

my understanding is there is a way you can jump off before the fight starts, that's how you survive with 1hp.

this
the fall damage mechanic of this game is simple
if you're on battle, you'll die from fall damage, while you're not in battle you'll left with 1 hp from fall damage

I'm curious (and no, i haven't done it) if there will be any punishment to the exploiters of it. It's clearly sounds like they knew it was an exploit, especially the ones who sold runs.

If XI is any indication, they'll likely get banned.

they'll say something like "it's SE's fault to begin with by giving us a chance to do that, why should they ban us for their own fault?"

but this is clearly an exploit no matter how ppl spin it....

and looks like instead of reporting the bug , ppl have been abusing it the whole day....for weapons/relic quest/ selling runs
