Ever since I started doing fractals there’s been a widely used trick of using binding blade on the maw tentacles to spawn more crystals.

Recently, people have been discussing that it could be an exploit.

Is this a legitimate, intended game mechanic, or should we discontinue its use?

Don’t think it’s inteded. Doesn’t make sense for 1 class to be able to pull this off while others don’t. Either way I don’t think you’d be banned or anything serious for using it, but if you want to play fair you could probably stop using it.

Yes, it’s an exploit and it will be fixed. Whether or not you believe me, I have discussed this with an Anet employee that I play with, and people should NOT be doing this.

Thank you for the info. It must be an unintended side effects of various mechanics clashing and creating something that shouldn’t be.

Sorry, I will not disclose that information. I just wanted to point out that they know about it and it will be fixed.

I seriously doubt they’d ban anyone for it. It’s just another of those unforeseen bugs that helps people to cheese the encounters. The dungeons are full of them (many of them we still won’t know about, they are like those OP builds that exist for months/years before someone figures them out or the time is right for them to shine) and they are usually removed as early as possible.

It’s not as game breaking as standing on the tree for the Mossman encounter. At least with the tentacle bug you have to actually fight stuff still.

I also have imaginary friends. Why post it in the first place anyway?

Why are you posting in this thread anyways? I guess my first mistake was responding to you at all. Again, my point was that, through consent from a credible source, the devs are aware of the binding blade bug exploit and it will be fixed. If that’s not enough for you, oh well.

I think if one need to use an exploit to get more crystals at maw, then I think the people must be very pathetic.

A good party dont let all the crystals just disappear, but keep taking them up so that they dont disappear. which makes it a whole lot easier and not to mention faster to kill maw.

Exactly i see so many people at maw who refuse to hold a crystal an d just try and dodge prolonging the battle much longer then needed
