I don't know if many noticed this but during 1/27 NW, there was a barb in tiger form that had a flag.

This was a fake flag bearer as the real one captured the flag and the system generated the message.

I believe that the barb edited his ini to reflect that image. The barb was in Dark nation and was fighting Frost Nation when I saw it.

I do not have a screen shot but I wanted people to know that this exploit was used last night.

I had to utilize the map to actually confirm where the flag bearer was but I didn't think to screen shot the issue.

    I think it's just a bug where buff visual effects are not properly updated when players pass in and out of your sight range. I see it occasionally with other buff effects.

    I'll have to see if it happens more often in other nw that I am in. Thank you for the input though, I don't want to accidentally accuse someone with screen shots if they are just bug effects.

    I don't believe flags are defined as a part of the ini, so it probably isn't possible to ini edit a flag onto your character.

    Yup. This happened to me more than once in nw. Helps that the glitch was on my own squad mate so I could tell they didn't really have the flag because buff icons.

    Perhaps due to massive lag(I mean at least when I get to a battle, heck,if my screen didn't freeze at least once, I'd be lucky)

    eh only thing thats happend to me on a toon carrying the flag is even after I capture it be it the first capture or the second and I head to a new land I'll still have the debuff that makes me move hella slow unless i pot with a speed pot or holy path then my speed returns to normal.
