So today when i was gonna duo PQ3 with a friend, we saw something interesting. Seems some ppl have been using a ****/exploiting some glitch. They were afk spawning hundreds of mobs and auto killing them w/o even touching them, and auto picking coins and gaining exp. Been there for hours...and had these special stuff dropped around them which looked lyk red items [ERROR] when picked was a [?] in inventory and disappeared (i tried picking >_>). May wanna report stuff lyk these...

    dont name a shame will get you banned, but on point yeah never heard of this before but cant really see the point those mobs only drop a few hundred coin and are for the frst part of the PQ3 i would under stand if they did something to make getting to he boss easier so they could farm the G15 rings but i dont see any real profit in it

    Naming and shaming isn't allowed.

    Also, the red errors are usual errors on your client side if I remember right.

    Looks like a legit zhen to gain exp to me...

    I don't get it then. You say they were afk. That means they can't be picking up those items.
    So what do they gain besides exp? lol

    Seems those error items r the stuff u get for digging those turrets to spawn mobs, but apparently they fill their inventory with **** so it nvr completes the quest and spawns an unlimited # of mobs.

    The error images are not the glitch, there is no texture for that item, Any item that has no texture will get an error texture. They fill up their inventories so they do not get the quest drop that spawns the mobs. They are there for the exp, must have a script running to do that or something. Which is funny they could do the same in map3 without glitching and get about the same exp and drops

    Lol I didn't even read the chat. That's just fail... on so many levels. But yea, nothing I didn't expect tbh. lol

    And I would be very very careful who I accuse of cheating/glitching and naming them on here. It could backfire pretty bad, which might be your doom if you play for high level stuff.

    If you google this, you will find what they are doing, I came across it not to long ago looking for something else on google. Not sure on if they even get decient coin drops, but its mainly purely for the exp

    I wouldn't worry too much. Apparently from pwdb data, you summon 3 mobs every 10 seconds, each worth only 500 XP (6k HP hypered). Simple math would give a max of 6m xp per hour of this. That makes it pretty similar to FCC but significantly more boring.

    no that's far better then fc. they never have to pause never have to stop they only spend a straight hour per day doing it not 5 hours doing 5 runs. That is the other reason people liked goonz. They used 1 hour of hyper and never had any down time so it really reduced the time cost. Even if goonz gave = to normal hyper it was still far superior due to this factor.

    So that's why I keep seeing people WCing for this.... b:scorn

    Actually, it's possible to bot this while afk for ~2-3 hours on 2 chars, spawn up a TON of mobs, then come back, one-shot ALL the mobs for 15-20 mil exp, then go back to being afk for another 2-3 hours.

    Very easy exp. The more people who dig the more exp you get per hour. So it's WAY better than FCC.

    Also, exploit this glicth as much as possible while you can, as there's currently no risk to doing this except possibly a 24 hour ban 2 months from now.

    Hmm, 6m per hour is doable with 3rd map grind. I guess this is better activation efficiency and XP gets decent with multiple diggers.

    It doesn't require much skill either like goons did so is accessible by all the players with **** gear.
    Have fun all! Go go 105

    They feel happy that players able to figure out cheaper way to max lv, since that mean the player are now much more closer to end game gear. (that requires lots money)

    Yeah Im not sure this really counts as a glitch.
    Digging those catapults is supposed to summon mobs.
    That quest item is supposed to drop if the inventory is full.

    Everything is working as designed I guess.

    Hey guys, I'd reiterate the suggestion to send us a ticket about it, preferably with a video grab if possible. From what I'm seeing here, that doesn't sound like legitimate behavior to me. I'll look into it personally if need be.

    Cheers.

    Really, that's your best attempt to say this is exactly how the devs planned for this part of the quest to work. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

    Guys, if you want to give information about hacks/glitches, the best way to do so is a ticket or you can even send a PM. Please don't post the information on the forums.b:surrender

    If you noticed the other post, someone has already submitted a ticket for this and the reply is it is not a glitch and is working as it should be, so I guess its case closed b:laugh

    If it is "working as intended" and if the method that was posted earlier (and deleted) is the only way to accomplish it, that is, IMHO, unacceptable. Letting players slide for taking advantage of a boss glitch is one thing, but allowing something that requires use of third party applications (i.e. botting) is crossing the line.

    Of course, it's very likely that whoever answered the support ticket was unaware of third party program use. As Eccii said, Geno has been informed of the details, now all we can do is wait and see.

    I did a few weeks ago. Your staff informed me that it wasn't a glitch and was fine. So until something further is said on the matter, i'll keep my email as proof that we are free to glitch this without fear of punishment.
