CoF Exploit

Hello Anet,

I’m almost 100% sure there is allready a post about this subject, but I don’t have the time to check. Either way I would like to report an exploit people are using in CoF. I asked my party about it and it seems people are using the torchlight @ Magg’s path, before the last boss. By using this torchlight people skip the event and go straight to the last boss.

I left the party when they explained to me what they were doing.

Do you got any date when you are going to fix this.
Since the worst thing atm is that I can’t even join a party for CoF when I tell them I don’t want to do the exploit. People will only take you in, if you DO the exploit.

It’s sadding.

Greetings,

Thorius

We are aware of this problem, and we’re actively fixing it.

We do see these things as issues that harm the economy and are exploits to the game. These things are a big deal, and making hotfixes isn’t always a solution due to limitations.

Thank you for posting about it. Much appreciated.

Please fix the magmacyte and bomb planting parts of route 2, Robert. We can’t kill that many silver mobs that fast and Magg has no regard for his own life.

Tonight’s patch will see some better behavior from him, and some changes to make that event a bit more manageable. Magg dying in the lava, for instance, will get fixed.
