Squadron limit break (Ungarmax) can be used in regular duties by any job

[alimdia]

This was reported 4 months ago and still not fixed, it makes lb1 stronger than lb3 by giving the entire party a 50% damage bonus for 15 mins, people have been abusing this for raids. This should be hotfixed asap.

Note, the way to use it is not even abusing a bug, SE just somehow forgot to disable the LB outside of squadron duties.

This.

It also has been reported already: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...mmand-Missions and it has been moved to "accepted bugs". I do hope it gets top priority, as it trivializes ALL the content. (Raids, Ultimate, etc). 50% increase, for 15 seconds, while being able to expand it even further with an AST. It's just crazy. Needs to be fixed asap.

Greetings, everyone!

I wanted to leave a note here, since the link provided by Lilseph no longer works because I have made the report in question private. Due to details included in the report, we would prefer that it not remain a public post. However, we will still be handling the report normally and making sure that it is brought to the attention of the teams that will be looking into it.

Thank you for your understanding.

Edited my previous post to reflect this. Thank you, GM team!

I do hope this is resolved ASAP. I was the OP for the bug report after seeing the info on how to do it via discord.. and testing it.

If you also plan to private all steps to reproduce. There is also a JP bug report detailing how to do this bug, by the user Khliyh. However they didn't fill in the report fully and it got moved to insufficient information

It might have been because your post had all of your install information posted in it; including programs such as ACT and KMSpico amongst others.

I think the worst part about it is that it's pretty clearly unintentional and those who are abusing it are getting a major, unfair advantage over honest players. Will they be punished, I wonder? I recall some horrible, selfish players using a similar exploit to make use of POTD items in PvP and dungeons yet in that case the individual(s) involved were never punished, or so I'm led to believe given that they're still around.

Yet if someone, in the heat of the moment, says a 'bad word' on this forum or in-game then there's a real risk that all their hard work will go down the drain and they'll be hit by the full force of the rules. In short, these sorts of exploits are plaguing the game and will continue to do so unless they are dealt with swiftly and harshly.

I hope so too..its already annoying to see the same bots running around because they dont accept a video as evidence and having some really horrible players that are harrassing different players still active (after reporting). Its also a bit sad that official streamers can use that certain device in a video and not get banned from that but if someone talks about numbers in a run they can get reported and punished for that.

So please use the same rules and punishments for everyone..and if someone uses such a exploid to beat the hardest content then they should be punished for that.

Sadly. I sincerely doubt it. A well known speedhacker remained prevalent in Feast for almost a year before quitting the game of his own volition. I can rattle off a few botters that basically control the consumable markets with 30+ stacks of 99 within less than a few days. SE does next to nothing in regards to blatant issues. I can't even fault the GMs because what can they really do? SE's policy prevents virtually any source of evidence. You can catch someone on a live Twitch stream and it isn't admissible due to a "possibility of it being altered." Not only is that assumption utterly ridiculous, even if true, the amount of technical knowledge required to make a convincing edit like that isn't someone a random troll is likely to have.

Now if you say "fuck" in say chat a few times. Well, you're just an awful person who needs be banned instantly. <insert eye roll>

Gunna be hard to punish everyone. Party Finder Byakko runs were ripe with it. I left a group when they started to discuss using it because I'd rather just not risk it! I do hope people get a warning about abusing stuff like that but when it's so wide scale it's hard to punish people fairly when not everyone is aware the exploit is even taking place (I can imagine people joining byakko and having no clue it was going to happen).
