Deliberate crashing or just locked up?

[StellaInTheSky]

I was on Abassa just now to find some public ships, and I had to go AFK to answer my phone. I was sitting here, Monica was flipping her coin, and I watching people run around and the various discussions going on (gotta love Abassa sometimes) and noticed, as usual, a bunch of people doing the PVP glitch.

Now...I'm using my boyfriend's computer which has 2 very high-end graphics cards and is literally less than 3 months old. But I've been kicked off when I've been around the PVP glitchers several times. The whole screen locks up and I have to ctrl-alt-del to get the game to close.

But I want to know if they are able to crash other people while in PVP glitch. The reason I ask is because I witnessed a high-level pirate who was in glitch mode walk up to 3 other pirates who were AFK (this was on the 'less busy' beach with the tattoo parlor and the searchable well), and he would stand there for a second and then those pirates would disappear as though they had logged.

I have only ever experienced this problem when around the PVP glitchers (who, by the way, irritate me to death...LAG!). Is it them or the game itself?

Forgot to mention that he did, indeed, walk up to me and stand there a second before I froze up...

As far as I know the only way to crash someone in pvp glitch is for both of you to be in pvp glitch, then he kill you while you are in the jail. Basically if you are in pvp glitch and get killed in jail, it crashes you.



for you...it's probably the fact that you were in abassa, very crowded server.

I was online yesterday and a friend of mine told me everyone on Abassa was booted due to the PvP glitch, sure enough, the entire server was quiet.

If that's really what's happening, hopefully it stops people from actually doing this glitch..

[StellaInTheSky]

Wow...a quiet Abassa...how weird that would be LOL.

And yes, my understanding was that you could only crash others if you were both in the glitch, but considering people find new things every day in the game I wasn't sure...

Oddly enough, when I play on my Dell laptop (which is about 2 years old and still going strong) I have no problems on Abassa other than some moderate lag. =?

[bpg2012]

I think PVP glitchers should find a different server, as if abassa doesnt have enough lag already! If PVP glitchers used a different server it would be a win for everyone we would get less lag in abassa and they wouldnt have to be asked "how do you do that?" every five seconds ad they would also have less lag.

[Sven Osymthe]

Better yet they could just quit doing it all together...

[bpg2012]

Yeah but like thats ever going to happen...

I mean look at how many times Disney has fixed it and they just take a week and find another way to do it. They won't stop until every single way has been fixed.

All we can do is find out how they do it and send in a bug report.

And play in a different server. If that server has a million and one issues why go there?

[seafox]

Because they are narcissistic, attention seeking, thrill junkies who care nada....

[Jello743]

Lol its funny hearing ur comments cuz im a pvp glitcher . Seafox is right we wanna get attn cuz what is there to do in there game when u have played 3 years lol so what we do is we go in pvp glitch and we crash noobs who hate us lol NOTE the only way to crash is kill someone on a ship or kill them in jail thats all the reason u crash is cuz of lag

[James Bladefury]

Lol wow, you think its funny to crash people? Wonder how funny its gonna be when you get reported. You agreed to Disney's Code of no using third party stuff, and pvp glitch is considered that. I just have one question for you Jello743... how much attention do you need in pvp glitch to get banned personally by someone?

[bpg2012]

Pvp is a glitch exploit not a third party program that modifies the game to the players liking.

for example the speed hack was with cheat engine which is a third party program and would get you banned or even terminated.

PVP glitch is just a bug in the game that players have found and are now exploiting it for their amusement, and like all bugs it must be fixed!

[Davy Bluekidd]

Most people in the pvp glitch are not very nice, trust me. But overall, the glitch is fun and brings in unlimited. Nearly all of my old friends quit because of the old way getting fixed which mean the game lost money. I do agree that we should find another server to glitch on so it does not hurt abassa.

[Edward Edgemenace]

I would suggest to Disney, a separate PvP-only/PvP-everywhere server. But that wouldn't stop bad people from messing with abassa - abassa will always be abassa. Why Disney tolerates people harassing their customers and destabilizing their servers, with nary a 24 hr autoban, is a mystery to me. (Programatically, anyone in PvP mode 10 minutes or more could just be autobanned.)

But I won't suggest Disney do that. Abassa will always be abassa. Anyone going there, pretty much deserves what they get. (Yes, network saturation of abassa affects other servers - fortunately, not much.)

I'd much rather see new content. Now that cheat engine is crippled (HOORAY!) they can move forward, I hope.

At least only about three months till The Curse of the Muertos Moon if it is still here, we won't need pvp glitch during this event, everyone would be forced into a pvp battle everywhere. Good thing I already know everything of the Curse of the Muertos Moon, be inside, or on a ship to avoid the curse, and only come out till the moon wanes. But for now, we must know the pvp glitch as a permanent feature of POTCO.
