Azure Nebula exploit still exists

risian4risian4 Member Posts: 3,711 Arc User
I've done this mission, Azure Nebula rescue (normal) twice in the last hour, and in both teams at least three players were using the well known exploit where they're not shooting, only pressing F to free the ships.

Since this was supposed to be fixed in a previous patch, I assume something went wrong so I'm reporting it again.



If the decision was made to not fix it and allow the exploit to persist, then I would like to suggest to reconsider that decision. With two, three or more people on the team abusing this exploit, it becomes impossible to actually play the mission the way it's intended to be played. That, and if you don't want to be collecting EC for other players, you're basically forced to lay still yourself.

    I haven't played this one in a while, so sneaking around the asteroid and freeing the ship is an exploit?! Or am I missing something?
    Have you tried the new forum on your phone?

    Hehe yeah very funny.

    It's an exploit. If it wasn't, it wouldn't have shown up in previous patch notes as a fix. Besides that, I know it's an exploit from personal communication.


    Anyway, this isn't the place to discuss these things. Since there are clear indications that freeing the ships without doing anything was not the way the mission was intended to be played, I'm reporting it as a bug and exploit. Discussing it can be done elsewhere so this is all I will say in this thread.

    Like Ruin says, NO WHERE does it say you *must* fight the mobs, only to free them. If it wants you to fight the trash mobs, then the mission objectives should say something to the effect of "Wipe out ALL resistance. Show the Tholians the error of tangling with the Romulans."

    You can come and play Azure Nebula Advanced. I do not believe the exploit works in that STF. Then again, I suppose I have not tried doing so yet.

    It is NOT an exploit it is meeting the objectives as stated. There was a Thread about this over a year ago stating the same, and the answers were the same.
