    Bridge Pillars

    Hi all, I was just wondering if freeps(mainly huntards) were going on the top pillars on your server for easy points. Seeing as creeps cannot get up on the pillars.

    I've seen a few. It's truly a terrible act, and should not be condoned by anyone.

    Has anyone seen any fail warg packs out looking for easy points?

    Wargpacks are not a reason to exploit. It's POSSIBLE to have a burg pack its NOT POSSIBLE for creeps to get on pillars. Saying "Just pew pew them down" is probably the most ignorant statement one could make.

    Sounds like someone is mad; perhaps you should make a forum post about it? Oh wait, you already did. I'll be sure to notify any huntards who like to climb pillars.

    Want to 1v1? I'm a hunter, it'll be easy points

    I don't really consider it an exploit. There has always been an opening for freeps to get up there; the only reason it's happening a lot now is because the horses jump farther.

    You may not consider it an exploit, but the key part of my statement you failed to quote was that it is not possible for creeps to use the same tactic...

    I understand that creeps don't have anything that would propell them onto the same pillars. I still don't consider it an exploit.

    The only reason you are calling bridge-pillars exploits is because some hunter (or, huntards, as you like to say) probably killed you from one. They're not invincible up there. You're a spider, you can range them, you can LOS them, ect. If you stood there and watched the hunter kill you from the pillar and weren't smart enough to run under the pillar, you probably deserved the death anyway.

    And don't talk to me like I've got freep goggles on. I play my creep 90% more than I freep.

    You can't do anything about it, the more
    You complain to the freeps of Vilya, the more they'll do it!
    Just report it and then shoot them down or avoid the area, more productive than a forum thread

    Your inferences on why I made this thread are unimportant to this thread, was just a thread to see if it was happening on this server or not.

    Spiders can burrow into the ground. No freep can do such a thing. Exploit?

    What ever you even doing here? Go back to the hunter forums and cry how your class is under-powered. I know 2 hunters that have no QQ about hunters and destroy anything they see.

    Erm... the minis flop.

    Sorry to the OP but this thread was bound to be derailed somewhat. The answer to your question is yes there are easy moders on every server that are gonna do this.

    As to those of you who don't see the problem with this because... "you can just shoot them down"... at any point after leaving GV or grams any class should have the ability to kill you somehow...or even hit you.... when your on top of the pillar reavers and wargs have no way to even touch you, other then the one 1minute CD ranged skill reavers have. They can only get by, by hiding under the pillar and calling in BAs.... that is if they don't get blown up first.

    Turbine can fix this by making it so that when reavers and wargs turn on there big speed boost they are able jump that, or by making the pillars slightly taller so that freeps can't make it up there.... but i spose asking for either of those would be to much and we will probly never see this resolved...

    So jumping up there in order to counter the warg pack that is 6v1ing people is easy moding?

    OK.

    Erm..... yeop pretty much... glad you saw what i was trying to say there.

    If you don't like the fact that a group of ppl can kill you 6v1 then you probly shouldn't be in the moors... it's one to thing turtle in your NPCs where they CAN get to you altho some of them will probly die in the process... it's another thing to go somewhere they CANNOT reach you, but you can still blow them up.

    If you don't like the fact that players are able to get onto those pillars to kill people 1v6 then you "probly" shouldn't be in the moors

    Some real maturity in this thread. I don't think its a big exploit like the ones that were scattered all over the moors at one point, but it is a bit unfair. Yes its cheap but freeps that go up there usually die pretty quick. At OP, no it doesnt happen too much on this server, I can count on one hand the amount of times I've seen freeps on the pillar in my time here.

    Not trolling! I was only really half serious anyways.

    "trolling" is the new most-overused-mmo-term.

    Any ranged that has to hide on the pillars to get kills is destined to fail eventually

    99% of the people using the word "troll" don't even use it correctly. It's been given a completely new definition.

    Mini's can flop, get out of combat, and use a non-r15 brand in the same sense that a spider can burrow and do the same. Hobbits also have a racial flop?

    I'd say this has gone quite far enough now. Please keep it civil on the forums.
