sirullrich Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 What does the PVP community feel about invis corner capping on novarre coast. I for one think it is an exploit, but some people tend to defend it saying it's part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely imp toons also; I rarely see a rep use the corner exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarackian Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I consider it to be an exploit, and on my server both sides can be seen using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banderal Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 What is the "corner capping" thing? I know that if you get close to the inside corners of the bunkers, you are harder to see. I always try to get as close as possible, just to limit LOS, but I've also found that if I get too close then the 'trigger' won't activate for me to cap. So I think I'm always visible to the enemy. Many times I've tried to ninja cap behind someones back, and if they turn to look they sure seem to see me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolixe Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 As long as you are still visible and attackable, it doesnt matter how far you are in the corner. It's not an exploit unless the previous is violated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikassi Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 there was a bug in which you could sit in the corner, cap, and not take any damage .. im not sure if they fixed that or not, but it was there ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yestreen Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 it's not an exploit and nor are you invisible, you can see people capping and you can target them This. In unranked, who cares?! In ranked, if you don't have somebody who can aoe the node, or a tank/melee who is in the area, you are doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I saw SB lose in a NC match and they were complaining about fixing it. But I guess I it didn't happen then.

JP_Legatus Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Lets count the number of ways to stop corner capping without even targetting the guy: Death field, orbital strike, grenade, force lightning, death from above, smash, lacerate, intimidating roar, sweeping slash, carbonize, flame sweep, jet boost, sweeping blasters, flame thrower, suppressive fire, cover pulse, carbine burst, frag grenade, overload. Probably missed a few in there. This doesn't include targetted aoe such as wither, flash bang, etc that may ACCIDENTALLY interrupt a cap if your target happens to be nearby. TLDR: l2p issue Edited June 6, 2013 by JP_Legatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaane Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 It is an exploit since a BT1 female is almost 90% invisible in the corner. Sure you can usually see something but there is a delay due to how little of the model there is visible. So during ranked game you can stop the cap but they will get a tick. Especially when it is a marauder doing it on camo cooldown, so you never see them go in. Tick after tick they will get the cap. Big disadvantage to those teams that do not have a BT1 female marauder to chose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliteAssasin Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 It's only an exploit when you can't see the nameplate, and that's usually on bodytype 1 characters. 2 and and above can get in the corner, but are completely visible and therefore more vulnerable to interruptions that BT1.

You can AoE them but you not going to know to AoE until they have gotten a couple ticks, unless your already in the habit of AoEing blank walls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashogy_reborn Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 its not an exploit. they actually changed it in the past so you cant get as far into the corner as you used to be able to. l2aoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenzali Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) On Ebon Hawk there's practically a religion founded on the premise that corner capping is an "exploit". I've never really understood how it could possibly be considered one since you are both visible and attackable AND the giant scorecard in the top right of the screen lights up. I don't do it myself because it never works against people who are awake - it's almost always a far better tactic to spread out with your team and cap from multiple distances and directions so that a single AoE can not interrupt you all.

Kaane Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Just watch this stream to see it in action, If they didnt mark both sentinels it would be very hard to see them at all. You cannot see the nameplate, only time you can see it when the cap is underway. http://www.twitch.tv/justbodies/c/2318019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astarica Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The only way to stop the corner cap safely is with smashers. All the other AEs mentioned are either resource intensive or on a long CD. You're not going to just call an orbital strike on the control room 'just in case'. It's not a problem as long as you're even or ahead in smash power. If you're behind going into that room is suicide and every AE you can use from far away has some kind of drawback that will hurt you eventually. Sure you can stop it but if you have to throw a Force Storm each time someone attempts this, whoever's doing the AE isn't going to have a lot of resource left to do anything else useful.
