Most everyone is aware of the multiple issues with CoF, I started farming this dungeon just before the “nerf” which made this much harder to complete. A lot of people already farmed enough tokens and have there armor and could care less. I’m sure theres more work to be done on this dungeon so I’d prefer to have mine before it gets any more difficult than already is. Issue is literally every group out there is running the 2 exploits, jumping the wall, and double chest. Im pretty positive the double chest is an exploit and most likely the wall jump as well but can we just have an official word on what to do.

Is it possible thats just an option is to skip that event sacrifice the 5 tokens and move on? Is jumping the wall going to get everyone banned? Are we supposed to just accept the dungeon is broken and not play parts of the game we want? Please not just the standard “yea its being worked on”. Really like to know before it results in just farming the first chest or suicide running and hoping to get lucky.

yea, i agree with your post as well and that its good to report bugs/exploits and not promote them, im mostly just curious to hear from a dev rather or not the wall jump is supposed to be there or not. Large chance its just a bug they will fix it, but small chance it was designed if you were willing to lose out on a chest and tokens to skip an event your team couldn’t accomplish. Just seems kinda like an easy fix if they didn’t want ppl to do it.

No I don’t think this was intended as a way to beat the fight. To be honest I’m not sure how people could even consider this being a legitimate work around. They wouldn’t have spend all their time designing the fight with the intend of you being able to skip it by semi glitching over a wall at a closed gate and having the various scripts written bug out because of it. How people logically consider this to be a genuine solution is beyond me.

Also they commented on the matter on this post here:

I did read that post and that is the reason i created this in hopes that we could get a more direct answer, being that a dev had to comment on another dev’s post basically saying they are talking about “this” issue but no telling us what it was. I understand that the double chest is a not intended but when everyone says “glitch” over the wall that implies doing something that shouldn’t work in game, simply jumping over it I wouldn’t really say is a glitch.

Again not saying I think it is/should be like this or that its not/shouldn’t be, I’m just confused as to why it is so easy to do. If there was a vista on top of that ledge it would seem 100% designed properly with a little bit of “jump puzzle” to get to it. Hopefully get some response in here soon.

Not sure if you’re fishing to find out how to do it or what. I think the dev’s try to keep it as quiet as possible till they can resolve it and therefore won’t go into detail.

As for the meaning of glitch it can mean several things. An example of a glitch would be an area with invisible walls but you manage to get past it by jumping a specific way. It’s a similar thing here you aren’t meant to be able to get over the wall.

From Wikipedia:

“Glitching” is the practice of a player exploiting faults in a video game’s programming to achieve tasks normally impossible if the game’s script runs as intended, such as running through walls or defying the game’s laws of gravity. It is often used to gain an unfair advantage over other players in multiplayer video games.

Someone specifically looked for a way to skip the content which is an exploit. Normally places like that would have invisible walls or objects put in place to prevent people from going over it and most people would therefore not even consider trying to get over a place they obviously aren’t meant to get over. Which is partly why the exploit wasn’t found out until recently.

People are desperate to find easy ways to get an unfair gain over others. It’s selfish and disrespectful to the players who do the content genuinely and the developers who worked hard on this content trying to provide you with a fun, challenging experience.

No, its common knowledge for anyone who has attempted to run this since the patch. With the last patch to quick fix the issue of being to easy why have they not quick fixed this upon finding it out…remove the torch, put up a wall, slightly change the terrain, all of these would end this immediately.

The problem is that I can’t run CoF then. Every party will want to do magg, I can’t stop that. And then, I cant do the event on my own, so the rest of my party will glitch it. I don’t take the extra chest, but am I just suppose to stop running CoF completely, since there is no way to stop your party from exploiting?
