Ok to sploit mage swords?

[Caravelle1]

Just want a confirmation that its ok for me to sploit mage swords before i go ahead and do it.

Pet dps tripled or more using it.

[Lovely]

It's not okay - better not use it.

[Combobreaker]

controvers...wut?

[Harrison]

Just do it. The server is already unlegit with massive exploits being used and not punished up to this point. May was well catch up with one.

[Kimm Barely]

Fixed

[gloinz]

wipe anyone >= 21

[Truth]

Working As Intended™

[Daefuin]

just bc something is overpowered doesnt mean its an exploit.

and all "massive" exploits have already been hotfixed, so whats ur excuse for fail

[Rust1d?]

wipe anyone >= 21

[Lemons]

honestly the swords are fine, pets were nerfed so terribly by the staff that the swords redeem them sucking so bad without them.

[MethodSZ]

admins need to go through and remove all top end loot from the game since it was acquired through exploits


also demote all above 40 back to level 40

Yup no bias here at all, definately not a mage.

what exploit - or is that the new code word for they outleveled me and are now outfarming me

[Twoberries]

Oh you red-heads and your crazy antics.

confirmed not a mage. 100%. maybe.

exploit == not classic

[Doors]

Ignore Harrison hes a faggot that doesn't even play here and goes off whatever banter he reads on the forums.

[Kastro]

Mage swords proccing on everything if used by pets IS what classic was like. Rechar-ng items was classic, so are Egg Shaped Pumice, Ivy hoops, the list goes on. Classic just means Classic. It doesn't mean balanced. Complete heal is not balanced. The cloak of flames is not balanced per difficulty of the mob. But who really gives a shit. Are we going to cry till everything that was cool about EQ back then gets nerfed or taken out of the game? Cry me a river. To all those asking for a perfectly balanced game with no hidden strats or unfair items, Go play live, there are no exploits or balance issues. Amirite?
P.S. You followed the wrong protocal, no mention of this should have been made before max level and full farmed set of resist gear for you and your friends and noticed someone else using it to catch up.

[Mardur]

Swords never worked on this server until a couple months ago. Devs actually coded the swords to work as they do now, to replicate classic era. Not an exploit if it was intentionally added to the game.

[Amuk]

Yeah it's cool that pets can proc their swords 1200 times to a players 90 times as per a parse done - for 41 dmg to anything. Maken it hard out there for humble rogues such as myself.

[Amuk]

I really don't remember this working like this on live. Like 15 procs in a 60 second fight proccing in pvp? Maybe people just didn't use/exploit it like here meh who knows.

[Truth]

yea but you have to do 51% of dmg here or you only get 25% of the xp, so it evens out unless you got mad mana to chain nuke and not pull aggro et c

for raids is p lol tho no wonder sonic bats solo naggy

I think they are confusing Live Blue servers with Live Red servers. For those of us who only played red, it was patched before them. I was the first level 50 on my mage in those days and I know for sure swords did not proc on everything, and they did not proc 1/10 as often as they do now on summoned.

nerf please

[MethodSZ]

meh just another thing that will get nerfed after the top neckbeards have had a chance to benefit from it

gotta delete those pixels that were obtained through unsavory methods

[mourning]

Classic involved them working on any target when a pet used.

Classic.

Classic.

Keep it how it should be.

Wands were nerfed because it was stupid, this should be nerfed because it IS stupid (I am a pet class too).

Fuck classic, stupid shit should get fixed if it is this obvious.

[gnomishfirework]

Some things in classic weren't as well known. This server faces an interesting challenge. Take a group of people dependent on MQ an see what happens when you remove it.

You get this.

[mourning]

Wands are one thing, this isnt insta clickfest.

Use your brain (however small it may be)

[Amuk]

I won't QQ over it but if you don't agree that this is stupid as fuck then you're most likely trolling aka lovely wand style.

[beowulf420]

Jesus, stop whining. You're a bunch of thankless pos.

If the mechanics aren't what you remember as "classic" go dig through old forum posts or websites to provide counter proof. Then, post your findings in the bugs section of the forums. Ffs, stop calling everything an exploit.

Most posts in the bugs section have already provided evidence -- for instance, the ice comet quests and my own post about Boastful Bellow song, but there hasn't been any update on to if it's actually being addressed, queued up in line, or just ignored. Last I heard about ice comet, for instance, it's being "looked into", but not sure what place in line it's being worked on or if the looking will continue into 4 yrs from now. We just dont know =p As for other items to address, such as this, there has been no announcement to my knowledge if this is being worked on currently or not

[mitic]

Since all those lvl 50 still have their lvl it is allowed to use the swords

There are a limited number of devs. If its posted it will be addressed, I'm sure.

[skorge]

wow i was wondering how an aviak rook was raping me earlier in SK...some enchanter charmed it and gave it sword of runes..it was raping me (with the enc casting and rook raping me i was lucky to get a gate off)...but WOW

[Nizzarr]

Swords are *op* only during lvl 20-35 maybe? after that the dps increase is minimal.

It's like only 2% of my seahorses total DPS in kedge.

[Lovely]

Don't use them - THEY ARE TO STRONG. DON'T BE A JACKASS.

[Nizzarr]

USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK! I report anyone using the swords.

[Lemons]

use them, if they were to take them out after 100 people already got to 50 using them it would be unfair, so... use them. and stop complaining, play better.

LEMONS CONFIRMED EXPLOITING THEM SWORDS!!!!

[Amelinda]

This.

also kinda like:
Hacker - the code word for someone who plays better than you.

(this is something one of the red players told me. i'm not judging. so don't rage on me)

[Zalaerian]

There are far better leveling "exploits" out there atm then the working as intended mage swords.

How about you share them then instead of abusing them bro!

[mourning]

I don't exploit, ever. I am a noble and proud crusader of justice from Erudin.

I will ascend into greatness.

You will speak my name along side Al'Kabor.

"exploits" aka creative use of game mechanics
