Map Exploit
Posted by Admin-Wisteria on 27 Aug 2017, 3:07 am
Maps have temporarily been disabled due to information about an existing exploit becoming public. They'll be enabled again once this issue has been resolved.
Maps are no longer marked as maps, but any maps you craft or had previously will still exist within your inventory. There is currently no estimated time for a fix.
Unfortunately, we have to take a harsh stance when it comes to intentional exploiting of mechanics like this. Thank you to people who reported the issue and simply moved on. People who may have accidentally used the exploit or otherwise simply done it once or twice out of curiosity need not worry, however. We'll be investigating on case-by-case basis. If you suspect another player of cheating, please report them using the standard report feature.
Update: You can no longer add plunder to your hoard from your inventory. You can still use the convert-all function.
Guys, I think there's hope!
They're working again???
Well, hurry up and fix it then. I want to get back to treasure hunting.
What??? Is the event going to be extended so we can actually finish crafting ship parts and get all the plunder that's supposed to grant? There's no way to get the parts otherwise! This isn't fair!
Er...I was offline all yesterday but if this exploit was there longer I swear I wasn't trying to do anything game breaking...should I just sit on my 200 some map pieces till the exploit is rooted out n dealt with?
MOD-Anarion I filled out a report Saturday about the "convert all" button removing my treasure and not giving me plunder points. It happened when I converted the treasure and didn't refresh the Oceandome store tab before hitting convert.
I'm confused what's that mean? Did I do that on accident?
@Anarion thank you for explaining so clearly why you needed to take the map portion away. It's still frustrating, but at least I understand better now.
MOD-Anarion I've gone ahead and filed a report, so hopefully it will help Wysteria. It wasn't consistent, which was one of the reasons it took me so long to realize the pirates were cheating me out of my loot. I didn't think there was anything that could be done about it, so I didn't bother to report it. It's been happening for days, though.
It's been going on for days, the missing plunder points. I haven't been able to keep track of when it happened/how often. If I were to file a report, would you be able to look through my user history to find them? MOD-Anarion
MOD-Anarion wait there's a missing plunder converting bug now too? great. are we gonna get the points we should have gotten when it's fixed, or are all of us that didn't know not to convert things now just gonna be up a creek? .-.
