The thing with the foundry is that the time requirement is kinda goofy. As far as time goes they only have to average 15 minutes for the daily. So if the author (or anyone else) knows a shortcut they can finish them in way less time and still get credit. As long as most people still do it the hard way and take forever it keeps the average time up into qualified levels.
Probably a Foundry mission specifically made so there is a 'trick' which enables you to finish it extremely fast.
Why doesn't Cryptic just set a flag that activates if a foundry mission is run much more quickly than the average time?
Maybe, but whatever it is, it sounds more complicated than that. The guy refusing to pay in zone chat yesterday was upset because the CW didn't knock ALL the mobs off a cliff at once. Instead of one at a time. Who knows.
this is not a problem.
it must be 15 minutes MIN to be elegible for the daily reward.
even then, if there was one with a trick or glitch that only the author knew about, you can only do 1 daily.
if he did that enough, or if the trick got out and lots of people started doing it, the time would get pushed below 15 mins and it would no longer be elegible.
also, they capped the amount of XP and loot you can get from foundry quests - it's like 10% / 2 bubbles. once you reach that point you get no more XP, and I believe loot drops stop also.
really, nothing to see here.
WRONG!
I am a level 60 CW and I wanted to see what it was about. So I joined one of these exploiters so I could see how it works and report it. With out getting into details of the exploit (Not hard to find if you really want to know) here is how it works.
Enter the exploited foundry mission.
Cast the one spell.
All mobs die.
Exit map and it gives you all XP and daily.
The reason it does not CAP your XP or not count the minutes I am not sure. I think it is because you are not killing the mobs the conventional way but similar to the old exploits people use in the EPIC dungeons to clear faster. And no its not the same spell as that exploit.
But they really need to hotfix it. THERE IS SOMETHING TO SEE HERE.
Wrong. It must be a 15 minute average. And once the foundry has a high average nothing stops the maker from adding in a shortcut after the fact.
Depends on how many times its ran short as opposed to long. I made a foundry that runs about 15 minutes if you choose all the easy paths. Its average time is over 20 minutes though because many some still choose the harder difficulties. As far as exploits go: Yes, if everyone knew/did it then its time would eventually drop down. But its not an instant thing.
