There are quite a few bullshit glitches like that, they start off rarely used/unknown about to most then often end up determining the meta for that class. i.e. Someone figured out you can toss Elixir R twice on Engineer (the self-revive), so now the class is played based around that exploit in spvp. It only works in spvp as well, to my knowledge.

Some people have the glitch macroed so they can pull it at will. I've never tried it myself, but there was a post on guru about it a few weeks ago I think. I've been hit by it a few times in spvp, but never repeatedly. I guess I've never ran into an obvious abuser of it quite yet, but then again I don't run tourneys. I just do spvp when bored with the other stuff.

I never really heard about the elixir R glitch though (I only play a thief right now), but it would explain some weird fights I've had with engineers.

Its all about glitching pistol whip while invis & OP steal damage for killing you while they are invuln and stealthed.

**Kuishen** · 2013-01-11 19:05

Can I get a link to the thread so I can verify that this is actually a glitch? I don't wanna spout off shit without being able to confirm it. I don't understand people who use glitches in a competitive scenario like that though, what are you gonna do when they fix it? You'll have successfully gimped yourself by not actually learning how to play the class.

EDIT: @Arcana: Mug damage can be ridiculous, highest I've hit with Mug has been 7k I think.

I can't find the thread I was referring to about it, but I believe I linked the right video. If I find the thread, I'll link it of course, but I'm wondering if it got deleted.

**Kuishen** · 2013-01-11 19:30

That seems like what I've encountered, so it's merely a macro combined with a clipping issue, giving the player god-like speed with activating abilities. Which is illegal. ANet said that Macros themselves aren't bad but if you're using them to gain an unfair advantage then you can be banned for it. This is obviously doing that because there is no way a human can pull off those button presses in the same amount of time.

Hey guys,

Just a quick update on where the whole scavenger hunt system stands since I know that’s a topic many of you have brought up recently. We’re not currently actively working on building any sort of legendary precursor scavenger hunt, this is something we want to do in the future and we’re in the midst of designing how this would function, but no one is actively building this feature and you should not expect in the Jan/Feb/March releases at this point.

We are however working on expanding reward systems to make them more re-rewarding across all parts of the game, making the open world more rewarding, and adding new ways you can earn precursors as rewards via new reward systems taking advantage of our open persistent world.

Some of these additions will come as early as the January release, and will get covered in more detail in the next week or two as well release all the details about this release once testing has signed off it’s all ready to go in January. (we’ll also provide a high level summary of our goals with reward systems, etc. in our 2013 blog post, which should be out next week)

Called it!

More chest events inc & 0.000001% increase on precursors from forge/drops.

**Corrderio** · 2013-01-12 09:45

If they make chests drops from temples/dragons a bit more generous I wouldn't mind.

**Kiarax** · 2013-01-12 11:00

We saw how effective that and the champ loot change was before... I wouldn't get your hopes up.

**Shiyo** · 2013-01-12 12:35

"We won't be adding anything in future patches" basically.

**Prothescar** · 2013-01-12 14:13

ANet's letting me down. They started off strong, but they're deteriorating further and further with each passing patch. A lot of major issues have yet to be touched that should have been addressed ages ago. I have little hope for these "system changes" since precedent states little is going to change for the better.

**ronin sparthos** · 2013-01-12 14:31

I'll see what Jan has to offer, they really need to make SoS and Orr worth a damn because as it stands the game is dungeon centric.

And knock it off with the underwater fixes

The game being so fun/amazing at release was a fluke. They prove every patch they have no idea what they're doing at all.

**ronin sparthos** · 2013-01-12 15:34

How about waiting 6months after release before passing judgment that the game is finished?

Most MMOs can't even get past that and 3 updates are inbound. They have alot of shit to clean up but now all the seasonal holiday shit has been pushed through lets see what Anet has up their sleeves.

I gotta agree with this, now that we have passed xmas/thxgiving/halloween we might actually get some worthwhile updates.

95% sure they stated the devs who do holiday events are not the same devs who do actual content updates.
