fixed glitches

[skullduggery bones]

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
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! lol

[Dr. Zeppers]

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.

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.

[CaptainGreenGene]

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.

[Edward Edgemenace]

Yup. Much easier than the original Kingshead invincibility glitch.

[Sven Osymthe]

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

[CaptainGreenGene]

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

[CaptainGreenGene]

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.

[Rackat]

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.
