MidichIorian Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Does this work if you enter the warzone with empty aug slots too or do you have to take them out in the warzone when the bolster has been applied?

Darknsith Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Does this work if you enter the warzone with empty aug slots too or do you have to take them out in the warzone when the bolster has been applied? A question phrased like that sounds like someone wants to take advantage of a PvP exploit. This is why I advise bugs that are found, should be submitted through bug reports---not posted for others to read and take advantage of it. Posting them here, may get the Dev attention, however it also will backfire ending up in more people taking advantage of the system. There are better ways of going about it IMO.

You may be right, and "cats out of the bag" so I may as well give in. As much as I feel this will have very negative side effects UNTIL it is fixed, I'll happily oblige START OF WARZONE EVERYTHING IN, STATS NORMAL: http://www.hvndgalaxy.com/profile/4975445/pics/detail/album_id/266282#pid=1665926 REMOVE ONE AUGMENT, EARPIECE, NOTICE STAT CHANGE INCREASES: http://www.hvndgalaxy.com/profile/4975445/pics/detail/album_id/266282#pid=1665927 REMOVE SECOND AUGMENT, IMPLANT#1, NOTICE MORE STAT CHANGE INCREASES: http://www.hvndgalaxy.com/profile/4975445/pics/detail/album_id/266282#pid=1665928 REMOVE THIRD AUGMENT, IMPLANT#2, NOTICE EVEN MORE STAT CHANGE INCREASES: http://www.hvndgalaxy.com/profile/4975445/pics/detail/album_id/266282#pid=1665929 PLACE ALL AUGMENTS THAT WERE REMOVED BACK IN, NOTICE EVEN MORE STAT CHANGE INCREASES: http://www.hvndgalaxy.com/profile/4975445/pics/detail/album_id/266282#pid=1665933 BEFORE: DMG: 1081-1458 ACC: 97.76% CRIT: 24.90% CRIT MULTIPLIER: 72.69% HP: 26,227 TECH BONUS DMG: 1098.17 TECH ACC: 107.76% AFTER: DMG: 1183-1560 ACC: 98.05% CRIT: 26.51% CRIT MULTIPLIER: 74.37% HP: 30,312 TECH BONUS DMG: 1203.81 TECH ACC: 108.05% Long story short, Bioware needs to fix this. From what I've been told it's even worse the better your gear and augments get despite how expensive it is to do this. I've sent bug reports on it, but not sure when/if a fix is in sight. But screenshots were requested. Here they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resiel Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Thanks for screens I know its a weird argument if its worth letting EVERYONE know how to do something versus keeping it hush and making it scarce but this is kind of a big issue and if its scarce Im afraid the coders wouldnt bother with a quick fix so the people who did know would have a huge advantage for a long time. Id rather things sucked for a week or so than hope Im not in a match with people abusing 'bugs' for months....

BoushhDC Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 on the contrary, they should be publicized so that everyone does it and is, thus, on the same footing as everyone else. Well, that's one approach. lol. But then it effectively becomes "pay to win" since it would get expensive. I'd prefer BW fix their crap, but I'm beyond exasperation at this point... and pretty much beyond caring anymore, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnaje Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Maybe it is just me. The people that play more and spend the time to either have WH gear, augments, or whatever should have the rewards of it. Otherwise why play. Naked bolster PVP should have never made it out of beta. That was a huge fail. Then this fail two weeks later. So the best question is what is next? Just wondering, what do you want them to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigglebooty Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 As exploits go this isn't really that bad as the cost of extracting augs exceeds the credit gain from completing the warzone Except you can use mk-1augments and get the same effect for nearly zero credits to remove them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknsith Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 As exploits go this isn't really that bad as the cost of extracting augs exceeds the credit gain from completing the warzone what if i told you I can reproduce it with lvl 9 augments, mk-3 kits, and achieve a 12k crit...all for the cost of....35 credits per extract! the photos above was an example. the augment glitch is TERRIBLE as I hit consecutive 11k crits and a COMMANDO (won't give the name as it breaches ToS) hit a 12.8k crit in huttball. this glitch is HORRIBLE and needs to be fixed. For reference this glitch has ruined ranked warzones as a certain guild is running 8 man premades usitlizing the WORST variation/combination of the augment glitch which i REFUSE to divulge here. It's worse than I even initially thought it was and is definately GAME BREAKING. Bolster needs to go as it brought with it more problems than the balances it "claims" to have brought into the game. also for LOLs. It costs 35 credits * 14 slots= 490 credits---> DEFINATELY EXPENSIVE RIGHT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
