Using The paladin exploit in Onsal is indeed cheating

Fingers crossed, but they are supposed to re-work Guardian on tuesday.

We'll see in the patch notes monday night.

The damage has been done to the point where I never want to touch Onsal ever again.

I think it's been stated multiple times in other threads that it's been listed as "working as intended", and is therefore not cheating.

That being said, it's the lamest, most degenerate thing I've seen in FF PvP and I hope they make interaction with objectives impossible for covered players on tuesday so I can look at Onsal without throwing up in my mouth again.

Well i got my onsai mount, not gonna bother anytime soon again... the last months were hell...

[Aneshda]

Lucky you. I need still 25 wins for the Mount. :-(

The interaction is gamebreaking in a single mode. It is working as intended because it uses the same logic as using Elixir (interrupt upon taking damage instances, which can be "0") thus it is not cheating. They have confirmed however that the side-effects of this interaction are clearly causing player frustration, thus they said they will look into it.

So no, how about we do not do a stupid PR move and ban people for THEIR lack of foresight about how the mechanic would be used.

If they were to do that, it wouldn’t look good on SE’s part when it’s their fault for not seeing that potential exploit. Can’t blame the person for finding out the exploit and catch wind of it. They just have to adjust it and womp womp for the PLD for that content. There will be a new exploit, it just…….they need to learn from Pearl Abyss’s Black Desert. Just update every 1-2 weeks. Change dmg potencies, ranges, how the map works, etc.

Dead horse. The hope is that SE might address it. But it's actually working exactly as intended, this is correct and designed behavior, and nobody should get punished for doing it.

It's working as intended, but there's just one game mode the intended interaction fucks over. Some kind of acknowledgement would've been neat when it was first found out.
