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.
I didn't know anything was even going on. D: I hope its fixed soon.
It was suggested to someone to suggest extending the event because of how the maps have been disabled for the time being until the exploit is fixed. I kindly request that the event be extended, so please, extend the event.
I don't even know what you talking about, how did the exploit it? and the convert all function never worked for me.
I don't think I experienced the exploit myself, but I'm glad it is addressed. I'm personally not affected as my ship is fully upgraded, but I'm hoping for a quick fix so others can work on theirs.
There was an exploit? First I'm hearing of it.
Can we get more extra time? I was counting on my maps to get me all I needed from my boats, and it doesn't feel fair that people with fully upgraded boats have no problems but everyone else is being shorted the significant different between boat levels in PP.
Taki_Wolf *facepalm* they need a DBA. You're supposed to do the bookkeeping server-side with transactionalized updates. That would explain the lost inventory, too.
There's an exploit? What?????
Ah. I didn't know there was an exploit like this. I usually open multiple tabs to explore on 2-3 villagers at a time (because the site lags like crazy during events) or I want to look at the Treasure Map Guide while I have a map open.
Will the exploiters get their items removed?
I hadn't heard about any exploit, but I hope it can be resolved quickly.
I do hope that you will extend the event for a little extra time to make up for this setback? Personally, I've only been able to get decent plunder from maps, and this will put me back pretty far...
