HammerHead90 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 So your mad you utilized an exploit and other teams realized it was exploitable and reported it like you should have. Still sounds like a lack of discretion on your part. Even if he did report it like many others, he'd still keep running. That's the winner's attitude.

Cpl_Facehugger Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) People grind the Event and they should stop if no enemys respawn? Yes? How cant they dont know it they make the System... its just a lil bit math for them. Devs make mistakes and aren't perfect, stop the presses. Edit: how is it unfair? everyone had to get their points to reach the no-enemy points, and then onwards everyone could also do it. how is it underhanded or unfair? answering that question would make this an exploit Only one person had to beat the cap, then he could carry his clanmates into the stratosphere with points, in a mission where the only threat is easily avoidable gas clouds. If every individual had to reach the cap in order to have their free ride that might be one thing, but as it stands only one does, then he can carry everyone else past it. At least, that's my understanding of the situation. Edited June 23, 2014 by Cpl_Facehugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggh Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) note that i'm a ps4 player, i haven't gotten a single point and probably won't for at least another month but it was a game mechanic that worked as intended, the capping of enemy levels, the problem comes from DE throwing an event where you can easily go over the cap, and not making an exception. there's a HUGE difference between an exploit and a design oversight, in fact most of the things people scream are "exploits" fall on the other category, going by oxford's dictionary: "Make use of (a situation) in a way considered unfair or underhand: the company was exploiting a legal loophole" how is it unfair? everyone had to get their points to reach the no-enemy points, and then onwards everyone could also do it. how is it underhanded or unfair? answering that question would make this an exploit Exploits are a consequence of design flaws/oversights -.-;; Edited June 23, 2014 by Aggh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halser Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 DE had plenty of time to tell us that running missions past lvl 9999 enemies was an 'exploit'(in other words, stop playing our game) during the weekend, since that bug was discovered pretty much instantly. They didn't. They waited until people had spent literal days playing the game and helping their clan win to just delete most of their progress, and then be completely silent about it.

Still sounds like a lack of discretion on your part. He's mad because only part of the "exploit"-using crowd got their points burned down. Currently leading clan in moon category was mass-abusing this tactics, going so far as to post the guide in their MOTD and they didn't get any on their score removed. None. Zero.

(NSW)LilVanu Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Untrue. Saying "Untrue" without any points to back it up is a rather pointless way to argue your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho1848 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yeah it's fair. Because the score is based on aggregate points derived from every person on a team. That's why it's a clan leader board. The team with the most maxed out participating members will win. U say it don´t cares how many work a Player put in the Event for his/her clan. Just the Clan with the most Members will win not the Clan with the best Members. BTW u don´t need maxed out Players i finished a Mission Solo with Valkyr on Lvl2 against +2000lvl Mobs that should show u that a Clan don´t need High-Class Players. Quantity instead of quality. Not a nice way to make a Event in my Eyes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashashou Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 can we talk about how inherently aswome it is to successfully deal with lvl 9999 mobs ? and how being able to deal with God-move mobs somehow doesn't deserve more points ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a nice way to make a Event in my Eyes... I meant max score and isn't about having the best players it's about having the best most active clan. Scores are weighted by numbers of people playing and their skill level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
