It looks like there is a exploit making keep walls and geometry disappear. Letting the player sit in the wall or geometry and not able to be hit or seen in los. You can see this from the lack of the keep walls. When the player was suspended in the screen shots. It also looks like he plans to repeat this exploit.

This is an exploit that has existed for a very long time (if it is the same exploit that I remember from long, long ago). Mythic’s solution to the exploit was two pronged.


First, to try and prevent players from messing with game files Mythic forced a file check every time the game starts.


Second, ban those who alter game files to create the exploit.


I am not sure that after all these years Mythic (Bioware) will make any more changes, or take other actions, to prevent this exploit.


IMO the player should not have received a 24 hr ban, the ban should have been permanent. Exploiting an accidental happening to check out a bug is one thing, screwing with game files so as to exploit the game, that should be a permaban.

The game would have to do a file check after you log on and everytime you zone in order to prevent that specific exploit. Can you imagine the frustration people would have from trying to file check every time they port.

Banning is the easiest way to handle situations like that. It doesnt fix the problem but it deters alot.

This is an old game. With all old games, there are very easy ways to exploit and hack. The best thing Mythic can do at this point to combat it is to (short of making DAoC2) be vigilant in banning players who abuse this.

I used to fall into floors a lot in keeps but I could never get out without logging or attack anyone, got appealed a couple times for it, I guess I was exploiting giving 40 Albs 20 rp's each.

This IS VERY easy to reproduce and is not actually a bug.

You can modify, change w/e files you like of Mythic's and simply "bypass" the patcher (very easy, a monkey could do it).

If you actually spent the time you could make the entire landscape flat. Hate the tree's in NF? That's easy just make them a small vase...

This kind of stuff has been happening for years, get over it or learn how to do it....

More people than you might think use these small changes that pay off big time!!!

PS: Some "small" modifications the patcher can't detect for some reason....
