Paladin Cover Exploit - something needs to be done!

[HermitUK]

Not changed by the looks of the final patch notes. It's a shame, because this one bit of cheese has pushed Onsal from my favourite to worst Frontlines map. I just treat it like a Team Deathmatch and play for kills these days, because I generally can't have much of an impact on whether or not we cap flags. It's less of an issue in Seal Rock but I've still seen it used there too.

While it will be less impactful, I presume this will end up being used in Rival Wings as well. No doubt you'll be able to use the same cover trick to pick up fuel cans without the possibility of being interrupted.

More suffering in Onsal yay...

Bumping this.

can confirm that contradance does not work against it.

Yeeah still not fixed. Was hoping they fixed it with the 6.21 update but nope. Paladins are still running in covering each other like no tomorrow

Was in a Frontline roulette today and one alliance had PLD's cheesing with cover the whole time. At some point we had secured an ovoo about to activate (we were enough people and had killed most of the opponents who were there), but a second before it activated a paladin came running with a teammate and just snatched it. We were 15+ people at that ovoo and 2 people from another team just strolled in and got the ovoo while we were all watching, unable to do anything.
It's really unacceptable that this mechanic is allowed to even exist, especially in that Frontline where it seriously gives people who are using it an unfair advantage. Sure it can be counter-played, if there is good communication in an alliance, the people are fast enough to go there AND have their LB available.
I'm curious to know what the devs think about this, if they know about it and don't plan on doing anything then it would be interesting to hear their reasoning. Then again, I feel it has to become an issue in the JP forums for the devs to acknowledge and do something about it.
Until then I'll just hope I queue into a group with a PLD so we can have an easy win, because people are definitely not stopping with this as long as its available in that Frontline.

Honestly, everyone should just play PLD in Onsal until SE fixes it.

It's very blatantly broken and it'll apparently take something ridiculous for them to bother resolving it.

A 72-PLD fest would be amusing to watch.

Pretty sure I saw in another post about this that SE dosnt know if they're considering it a bug or not.

It was reported in NA bug report and accepted as a bug. In EU servers it was reported and dismissed as working as intended.
In JP it was reported and dismissed with more information needed?

I may have mixed up the JP an EU responses but from the looks of it this isn't a bug it's optimal gameplay for a pally.
