Amdapor Exploit

[Horg]

The subject of this thread is confirmed as a bug...according to the TOS SE can ban people for utilizing it (doesn't mean they will, but they should), I'm not sure why people are still saying it's "utilizing the environment of their dungeon".

Definition of the "Accepted Bugs"
Bug reports moved to Accepted Bugs will be investigated and confirmed.
*Which leads us to believe anything that makes it into this section is not intended and was something SE overlooked when they designed the room. Why investigate something they intended to add into the game?

@Melisande - Try at least skimming through the information already posted in a thread before confirming your stupidity to the community.

Why take the risk either way? Were talking abuot a dungeon that you farm 8 times a week and a bug that saves you, what, 1-2 minutes?

you can only survive the first aoe janda.... it get stronger each time it's done.

lol this is ridiculous. This does not speed up the run 1 bit. You run slower because:

1. You have to position yourself perfectly
2. You lose dps on the summoner
3. People who aren't used to it will get thrown off and perform poorly.

It's just a crutch in parties who aren't good enough to dodge aoes the size of Texas. Or for healers with level 38 weapon (lol). They can't do it on demon wall though, so they'll wipe anyways.

It's flavor that is quite nice - and fun!

I think there are more important things they could be focusing on (and acknowledging). Like the lack of Client->Server verification. Or RMT spaming. Or server net code. Or the autowin boss fight. Or gold sellers. Or bots. Or teleport hack. Or toxic people in general (who seems to be the real issue here).

Yes, the golem glitch is an exploit (it's under accepted bugs after all) and to those that don't think it's serious? tell that to the people already banned for that and tell that to me after having to sit for two hours with customer service to get my account unsuspended despite having LEFT a party that wanted to do this, they went and did it, despite ME not doing it, my account got suspended. Not serious? Not big deal? yeah, think again. It's in the TOS contact that you really should read not to abuse these things, to think otherwise, you are either blind, or just wanting to see if you'll get the ban hammer.
I hope all of you who feel it's "not a big deal" get it, after all, I did think it was a big deal, didn't participate and still got dinged. Welcome to the world of exploits children.

I wouldn't take harassment from people forcing you to use an exploit/bug that Yoshi clearly states if you know about it and use it you are guilty and can be banned hammered.
Just say you wont do it and if they don't like it just sit afk until one of them leaves. This is why I go to AK with friends now.

[Puppell]

They fixed it, dry your eyes.

[Aryden]

Yup, it's all over now. So, I guess people need to go find something else to get worked up over. This post was fun while it lasted. Thanks for the entertainment.

You still don't get the point of an intended game mechanic vs. an unintended "strategy" that is solely based on exploiting a more than obvious bug. The AK bug has been fixed, how much clearer does it need to be for you to understand that this was actually non-intended gameplay? Feel free to continue making yourself look like a fool though.
