fixed glitches
 

I tried some of the glitches used on open and found they are all fixed on test. The lava pit in the catacombs and inside the hill on outcast I found that the enemies can now come straight through the wall/ hill and kill you :D
The fence in KH is the same, the Navy just charge straght through and kill you, and also the invinciblilty glitch has also been removed by disabling the assassin thats usually there, so if you now do nothing you will die LOL
The flag ship glitch has gone also but we knew that wouldnt last much longer lol

A pirate died many times to bring you this news! :D lol :rip:

Any news on the SvS issues? These were the important ones.

Expected these lesser priority glitchs to be resolved eventually, but so far it seems they've fixed the ones most dont care about, and have yet to hear about the ones we need so desperately (SvS).

Thanks for putting your pirates life on the line. ;)

brave brave girl
 

Yes, thank you for reporting your adventures!!

hmm awesome!! :)

Invincibility
 

The invincibility glitch that was fixed at the Kingshead jail reared its ugly head today on test server. Exiting a fort door(not Kingshead) with weapon drawn, I redrew the same weapon and attacked a thug. He ran off and then attacked me from afar. Since I recalled this from prior glitches I let him kill me but I didn't go to jail just got groggy and then proceeded to report it using the ? I really like that ? it makes reporting such a snap. I tested some doors and attacked some navy and thugs then logged out. When I returned I was in jail as expected and reported all that on the? button. Anyone else have this happen to them? I have not tried to reproduce this yet.

Just confirmed the new invincibility glitch with Greengene...trying a few different locations. So far, looks pervasive.

kinghead is glitched
 

Seems all the doors are glitched the same way. Only difference I see is that after you die the only way you can start doing damage to anything is to go back through the door you first went out. Once inside you are stuck in there, the door will not let you back out again. As it happens In thieves den there are thugs to fight and in the Kinghead jail there is an assassin(though it took 3 of us 10 minutes to defeat him). I also had this happen to me exiting Jack Redrat's house and couldn't get anything to kill me.

Yup. Much easier than the original Kingshead invincibility glitch.

Theres also a new invincibility glitch that involves losing at blackjack or poker.

hmmm
 

Must be alot of invincibility glitches around, I was shooting BLoodless and there was an invisible and invincible idiot right behind me shooting, every time they threw things at him I thought they were comming for me and couldnt figure out what I did to make them attack me, dont u just hate that

Glitching in test server
 

OK maybe someone can explain this to me.
What is the point of glitching to get invincible
to gain reps in the test server? Isn't the point
of being a tester to test normal game play? If
you find a glitch, report it. Test it and then log out.
Don't sit in the middle of Kingshead field for 4 hours
whacking veterans for reps and gold. That's not testing
anything. I thought the point of the test server access was
to use the game normally and push the edges to see
if anything gives. If it does report it and move on.
Reporting these folks is a full time job since they interfere
with other players normal game play. I've seen navy
soldiers running wild all over the place in thieves den and
now in Kingshead. They get hit once and are glitched till
the server has to reset.

I just tried Thieves Den and it didn't work. Going back to try KH.

I had this happen this morning on Test as someone on Open told me about it. I went to heal her and noticed her health was full...this was after she was getting pummeled by Bloodless for a good minute or so. So I asked her how she did it. Thieves Den (new glitch?).....I reported on Test after I confirmed it this morning.

:bird-vi:

KH does not work, Redrat does not work, Thieves den does no work.

Until some idiot accidently finds something new, the invincibility is fixed for now.

I can sort of answer this from some of the people I have asked about why they do it. They do it to lvl up their pirate faster to be able to do the new content when it is released. I can understand that. I am working hard to get mine up to that point too, I have used the invincibility glitch just to see how to do it and i reported how i did it. If you don't glitch there are other ways to train that shouldn't be there, like one wasp on Perdida I found that does not attack back. Great to train on but I reported it (it's still not fixed, but maybe they will get to it eventually). I am guilty of training on it until it wasn't worth the reps anymore.

I'm not saying what they are doing is right, but I do understand why. Most of the new testers that came in are bored and looking for new content. And you can bet with the new invite that went out the ppl that signed up for it are signing up for the same reason, the new content. I found a lot of ones that just came in with that Open to all invite are actually playing live server more than the test because they get bored with training. The one thing I see happening tho is that the new content will be released in Test and only the older higher level test pirates are going to be able to try it out and it will be released on Live before the "new" test pirates are going to be able to try it out and report anything on it.

I don't know if I will even be able to get to that new content myself when it comes, I spend a lot of time on the test going back and forth between Training and trying to get the Pearl quest done (and of course reporting stuff i find along the way). I am playing it like I do on the live server, and it took me a few months to max out my Live pirate. I don't think the new content is gonna wait a few months. As long as the glitchers are not bothering me or what I'm doing, I'm not going to bother them, or report them (I will report that there is an invincibility glitch tho). I don't see how them hacking away at a boss here or there is interfering in normal game play, unless they have issues with you getting a few swings in on that boss when you need it. And I don't recall any quest that requires you to go after the Vets in the middle of Kingshead, the only thing they were good for was lvling nades when the "didn't" go thru the fence, and training staff and getting gold. So I don't see that as an interference with my game play either.

I do see a few issues in the invulnerability glitches, in this area of disengaging creatures in a entire area. Wild woods I saw this the other day, (maybe pvp related) but not able to fulfill a quest with creature running off the screen and getting attacked from off the next screen over. Some of these quest require certain targets to complete. A officer for example for one of the bar quests, won't work at Fort Charles, you need to find them in one of the caves. Some of these being disengaged causes problems.

I really haven't seen much use to invulnerability and never have used it myself. Making a new character Saturday night, yesterday finished the padres teleport, didn't need any of that to move along fast and go through all the quests checking for errors.

Thieves Den has something going on with it, killing my character after going inside, haven't figured that out yet, with no live eitc there when it happen.

I thought they fixed the enemies disengaging when they fixed the invulnerability giltch using the doors. I know that was annoying having them running all over the place. I haven't been back to those areas since Ed told me they fixed it. I haven't seen any creatures disengaging.

The only use invulnerability has is in lvling up your weapons. It's of no use for the quests because you can't TP with it, you would have to sail everywhere (which makes the quest way longer to complete) And just sitting there aimlessly hacking at stuff gets really boring really fast.

I guess i'm going to Wildwoods and Thieves Den tonight to see if the stuff disengages (unless you're there Ed and can fill us in :pirate_8:)

I had that happen to me, too. In my case, I'd been poisoned and instead of stopping at one point, it went to none.

LOL was on my way, but OPEN was down (where it wasn't fixed, last I checked.) Haven't seen it on test since 2/9/2009 when they fixed it there.
