Right, some, well most will hate me for this, but I am sick of groups using this exploit / bug to pass the CoF Magg option. The part where you defend Magg from the mobs as he blows up the door. Most, no all groups I have gone with let him die then jump over the wall, kill the 4 guys then crystal and then talk to Magg again to blow the door letting you go OUT of the main room to collect the chest out side. Sure I’m all for short cuts but this is over the top in my books, you aren’t meant to get over that wall, why cant you(you know who you are, even those ‘pro’ groups) simply learn to do it properly. I hope due to this post it will get patched quickly. I’m want to learn to do it right if someone would show me, and I know it can be done.

Here is simple video if the part I’m talking about

And yes, I HAVE REPORTED THIS

for 1: people hate snitches like you, the dungeon was made incredibly hard no wonder why people are exploiting it.

for 2: developers play with pugs and for sure they’ve seen this already, there’s no need to call yourself out. not really sure why you would want to ruin other people’s fun anyways.

Jeezus!

Anet RIP OFF this kitten dungeon from the game until you fix every path and adjust difficulty.

I am sick of hearing “COF this! COF that!”. This really makes me nervous already!

OP, GJ! Keep up the good work!

@Drakken I think Fox was in the right here. I for one hate people who exploit. I have reported exploits myself. The Magg fight has been made imposible thanks to people who were exploiting it. I’m an honest player that is being punished for the few, it’s frustrating.

@Drakken I take it you are one of those that NEED to do this because you cant do it and don’t want to learn. This part is not hard one of my groups that stood and fought got to 84%. Don’t pulls the ‘its too hard’ on me, get better at playing instead of needing to exploit the crap out of stuff because you can’t do it

Even worse are the people who are pathetic enough to use the excuse ‘Oh there are jumping puzzles in the game so this was clearly intended by the devs as a way to get past that closed gate, glitch over a wall and skip the fight entirely’… I mean.. Really? Come on… Stop exploiting the game just because the content is too hard for you and you give up first try.

Not sure why you, or anet, think kiting a group of 15 mobs for 100 seconds was “exploitable” when it is clearly impossible to kill every single one, and it was made even harder because they added more mobs and increased the timer. The guys that are ranged and shoot lava at you 2-shot all the light/medium armor characters, so graveyard zerging is the only chance you have at succeeding. Of course if you have a bad group, this could take up to 10+ tries before you give up and say, “Hey let’s jump the wall, and collect 25 tokens this run AND save time while we’re at it”.

1. People hate cheaters like you.
2. What? I’m not entirely sure why developers would WANT to play with pugs as these dungeons are balanced for cooperative, communitative, stragicly advanced groups. So one would think, you know, …logically…, that would be what they are testing/playing with.

1: I have never done a cof run where someone didn’t want to jump the wall, i have never had someone tell the group, “guys this is the wrong thing to do, we should not be doing this, i’m filling out a bug report now cya guys whisper me if you want to do it the right way!”, like all of you above are claiming.

2: If you read the developers post on why he changed the dungeon in the first place, you would see that he clearly stated he himself played with groups who exploited the dungeon and that’s why he wanted to change it.

I would assume thats because none are good enough or want to learn and want an easy way out

Exactly. I have not done it this way, I do not run with cheaters, so my guild does not consist of such, I never pug. These are the reasons why I never pug. I am not saying all puggers are cheaters, not in any way, however I cannot know the type of people I am grouped with when I pug therefore to avoid that type all together I run with people I know. Maybe those of us who don’t like to cheat are playing these dungeons the way they are meant to be played ..with coordinated groups who communicate..and so don’t see the need to find the easy way out, nor would we necissarily be available for your group Drakk to tell you cheating is wrong, it takes away from the game and we don’t like to do it.

an exploiter is an exploiter… stop saying that people are exploiting because its so hard and thats the only way to do it like if they were some kind of martirs forced to this horrible task like it was mandatory…. pleople exploiting it will explot even if it is easier to do just for the sake of doing it faster. When CoF was “OK” people were still rushing to the magnamite without killing and running around in circles without killin in the bomb event.

The dungeon being dificult near to impossible is not an excuse to exploit.

Yes… everything is ruined!… please delete the game and sell the servers, cancel the project! GW2 failed because it can’t be fast farmed to get the best gear in a week… :rolleyes:

i’m really confused as to how people even define the word exploit now. The original kiting method is arguably less of an exploit then this current jump. But the only reason people are using this exploit is because the developers made a patch to specifically stop the kiting method.

I’ve played games where you have to run from monsters for 2mins. It’s a gaming skill as much as tanking stuff is.

Whilst arguably, this jump is indeed an exploit, what this patch has done has only shown that ArenaNet punished gamers who are innevitably human. The very electricity running through your computers right now obeys a lazy law called the conservation of energy. Humans behave much the same.

It’s incredulous to think people can sit on a moral high ground believing they are better players. Whilst this jump more explicitly an exploit, I doubt anyone would have discovered it had ArenaNet not implemented that patch.

They could have simply diminished the rewards, without apparently making the dungeon harder and that would already counteract speed running. Maybe a timer limit or daily limit?

What ArenaNet really need to emphasize is their entire philosophy on how they will approach this game in the foreseeable future. it’s a game they dont want us to grind in but they wont also allow players to be reasonably (Kiting) lazy. By far one of the better MMOs but at the moment I simply feel confused by the direction of this game.

I was in a group yesterday that wanted to do this. It took me several minutes of pleading for them to not exploit. I was ready to leave the dungeon though, cause Anet could easily ban these people.
