Its not killing the server, its masking the servers death. It died already. After people stop spamming rests, you will see who is REALLY left, and it wont be many people.

I have seen people saying they have 300 Million and even 400 Million Talent Points on their characters from doing dailies all month. I would not even know where to start with all those extra points.

At this point we are still investigating the incoming reports. I have a request to make: those of you who were able to reproduce this from happening, could you please contact me in private message with the details as to what you did prior to the reset happening? It would be much appreciated :)

Please give me said information only in PM, not here in forum, so other players do not feel tempted to try this for themselves.

Also, just for educational purposes ofc, feel free to send copy of that PM to this account as well.

Really.. so other people aren't tempted? There are raids and raids of people doing this. The entire server knows how.. it's common knowledge. :/ Kinda too late to stop people from knowing about it. It's been going on for over a month.

Be that as it may, people simply aren't reporting it, or not giving us enough detail so that we can reproduce it. If you know something about this issue, and can reliably duplicate it, PLEASE report it along with how it can be replicated.

"I think it involves..." is not good enough, nor is "Make it stop". We need actual reports of how it's done.

There is a reason why ppl are not reporting it, To be honest i am veryyyy supervised someone made a thread about this.

Almost no one wants you guys to fix this, heck even i don't. TP is something we need bad, at max lvl from questing you have about 75 million tp. i have over 150 million tp and i have no were near what i need to max skills i use.

There are people with 200M+ tp who cant come close to maxing skills they use.

We gain wayyy to little tp and need sooo much. No one wants to grind years and years for tp just so every time lvl cap goes up they have to grinds for even more years.

No one can buy that many resets to farm the amount of tp they need. This bug is the best thing to happen.

Almost all the server says they hope its not fixed every time the servers go down.

I have to honestly say you guys are probably on your own when fixing this or getting info on whats wrong. I am not going to spend 3 years to max out a few skills.. so no reason to help fix the best thing in this game.

sorry :(

oh and to add more.. New higher level elites are about to come out.. so we need even MORE tp.....

kingzamorak, we rely on player reports, especially for bugs/exploits that can only be reproduced in very specific steps.

Personally I am sad to hear that this is supposedly "common knowledge" on entire servers and I somewhat doubt it or let's say hope that is not a fact. You (not you as in YOU but you as in the players who do this) gain an advantage to other players/servers that is not intended. It is thus an exploit.

There are enough players on forums who reported this to show they do not condone this. And we investigate to get this fixed.

So I truthfully hope you as in the community of your server will assist us to get this fixed :)

You do know I put a ticket in about it over a month ago, with steps to reproduce it and guess what, nothing happened, so I don't care anymore.

Oh, and to add insult, I mentioned the bug before in another post about daily reset problems and the post got deleted. I didn't mention how it was done in the that post either.

So what this has shown is that people are hungry for tp. Sure, fix this glitch so its fair across servers, but i would suggest unlocking dailies so you can do more dailies perday for tp. Either increase the number of dailies avilible per day, or let us do an unlimited amount (but only give us tokens for the first 10...or x many).


This way it continues to be fair for all players, but allows more people to have the tp they need for skills, since we are all horribly short. Especially when we currently have a total of 6 class combos to level skills and elites for.

Reni's server has been broken for a while. Krolin was still on a 10 second respawn timer until very recently. The daily reset bug has been going on since chapter V was released.

I don't want to see it eliminated. Our server is better off with it in place than without it. I am also not surprised you're not getting the feedback you need to fix it, Dio. After all, I lost count of the number of times we've asked for information on something and gotten a response of dead silence.

I'd be careful about trusting the feedback you do get, as the majority of it is likely going to be designed to waste your time rather than contribute to it getting fixed.
In a world of black, white, and grey... I'd be bright friggin' purple. M/P on Reni.

If company's played there own game i bet bugs would be found out a lot faster..this bug helps ever person in the server. we don't hide it from players in game who ask.

If frogster played the game they would know how to do it. the sad truth is that game makers or publishers dont play their own games.

Can a game really be that good if the own makers don't even play or it the people who publish it?

Alternatively, release a few quests that can be done at different levels (a level 25, 50, 60, and 70 quest) that allow for an easy place to get xp/tp that can be done more than dailies can. Make these quests relatively difficult and not spammable, but provide adequate tp and xp (like completing an instance for one level worth of tp...not from the mobs, but from a repeatable quest). Something along these lines would make it easier, but not simple, to acquire tp, thus solving one of the biggest concerns in the game...leveling and getting tp for multiple class combinations (up to 6!)

Where do I go about requesting a double/triple TP week/month for all other servers in reparation?

Darwec comes up with some good ideas. Maybe you could ask him to give some user feedback. Make sure its one of them special 40 long page ones so that he won't get tempted to use the exploit

Think that this could ever happen on Isiltir, Dionaea? As you've probably read I'm stuck :p I'm curious too what the exploit is. Wondering what crazy exp/tp drugs my old guildies are getting into

This is not surprising. When a daily reset glitch happened a while back on all servers (I guess it was 2 years ago now...wow) no one really cared to have it fixed. I think it went on for over 2 weeks, but not longer than a month, before it was fixed. Used to be server-sided though and dailies reset like 20x each night between 1am and 5am.

Being that it is an exploit...it is what it is. I know a lot of players are happy when stuff like this happens in their favor and they feel it makes up for any other "wrongs" in the game, but that doesn't really make it ok. =/ And I'm sure that players are aware of that too.

In order to figure out how it's happening, staff can try to rely on reports if they feel confident in the honesty of their users. But if they're making no headway there, they should really use their personal characters to actually log into the game and figure out how it's being done. Staying away from the game, remaining aloof, not interacting in-game with their players...I'm not really surprised that they're not getting anywhere. It's a nice notion to believe that everyone is hush-hush in game when something like this happens, but we know there's always one loud mouth among a server full of players who likes to "spread the good word." So if this issue is truly a priority, the staff just needs to get in-game and find out for themselves.

I've seen other games by Frogster have similar issues with players that exploit. It is a slim hope that someone will come along and report how things are done, but if you're actually in the game, you'll find a lot of players talk about it or are at least willing to mention it via PMs.

Anyway, I've never played on Reni, but I'm amused by the situation.
