Not sure if this would be classed as an exploit or not, but....
A certain clan on the server i play on got the zariche sword by killing the person who had it, now what they seem to be doing is passing it between themselves, i.e. one of em gets it, kills a load of people, when it is close to running out they let themselves get killed by a clanmate and the sword gets renewed. They have had it since the launch of c5 now, practically.
On top of this, they are passing it between heros, and i gotta tell u, a hero with that sword is practically unstopable. They hit for 1-3k a time on somone in full a grade, and they take 10-20 pts damage a hit. Its like fighting a raid boss :-(
Sure, could get a few parties to go after him, but he just bsoe s if anyone gets close to hurting him.
So it looks like this clan is keeping zariche, unfairly in my opinion.
What makes it worse is the fact that he is using it to grief people, by that i mean running trains into people, killing hte healers and then waiting for drops. Its getting to the point where the only thing to do when he logs is to go to town:-(
So, would this be considered an exploit of the game mechanics, the swapping over of the sword, or is it just our servers bad luck that he choses to use it like this?
Looks like it's time for a patch that the max times it can be dropped is 3x or have a random chance of completely disappearing when the wielder gets killed.
And to answer your question: No, this is very, very likely not an exploit. Chances are sometime in the feature it will be "changed" so that using recall type skills or items while bearing Zariche is no longer possible, and there will never have been a bug.
I wouldn't call this an exploit in any way. Seems like a good adjustment to game mechanics and smart play.
It's nasty. It's not very sporting.
But it makes a lot of sense for the folks holding the uber sword.
Sorry for everyone else. Looks like you'll need a group of heros to get it back.
Not an exploit though.
Like a castle imo--if you want it, take it.
Well, the clan still got it, thats well over 24 hrs now, not sure how long its supposed to last, but if anyon gets close enough to hurt em they bsoe, so is gonna be tough getting it back
I just don't see why a person should be able to have it for days on end, but not sure what they can do it someone just keeps passing it because I'm sure it resets all timers ><
Everyone knew from the beginning exactly how Zariche would work and exactly how someone could grief with it. The fact that they are keeping it within their ranks is in no way an exploit. Kill them or stop whining because the sword makes anyone like a raid boss.
This is insane.
"Kill them" you say?
Cmon... a clan full of heroes PLUS one of them wielding Zariche?
How are you supposed to "kill them"?
Like a castle you say? mmm ataccking alliance against defending alliance is a siege.
Attacking alliane against defending alliance PLUS Zariche Raid Boss Wielder is not a Siege.
the point is they are transfering it between themselves each time , so usage doesnt run out, it resets when they transfer it. They still seem to have it, so that is 36 hrs minimum they have had it for now

Then they are just lucky, because it has a chance to disappear when they want to "transfer" it.
Or maybe they are just very quick at regaining it when it disappears and some other player gets it as a drop.
Correct varaya the Guild that held it on kain today lost it as the weilder died but instead of the sword dropping as it had done earlier it disappeared. So calm down guys THERE IS NO EXPLOIT HERE
