not sure how any of these exploits are game breaking.. they haven't affected me one bit except for the downtimes which I'm fine with during a beta. they're only game breaking if you think they affect how you play the game which would only happen if you were using the exploits and they patched it out from under you. ;)
OP, I had the same experience today and apparently it's a shock to many first timers to the map. I'm at lvl 32 and on my first run through the Mad Dragon dungeon, 3 guys quit because the boss was too hard and they died a couple times. *boo hoo* We had to disband the party cuz 2 GWFs and 1 Cleric wasn't going to cut it. :/
I've been having the same problem. I don't have Avalanche so I had to exit and restart. This needs to be fixed. :/ and of course i'm injured when i get back in...
