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.
Huh.... I wasn't aware there was an exploit! Oh... now I'm worried I accidentally used it....
Oh, yikes. I always kept my Inventory open in a seperate tab because it saved a lot of clicks, and I did notice that sometimes I would seem to keep making the same map, but I don't think I ever accidentally generated any duplicates that I hadn't crafted. I also honestly thought that the extra explore turns were intentional, although, it seemed like one Day 1, that happened on a few different maps, but later, only on the Wreckage map. That was a little odd, but it felt like it was simply a tweak while the event was being balanced out due to user feedback.
To whoever reported the exploit, without tipping others off to it, thank you for being honest.
Goji it won't kill you to read my comment AND the news post properly. As I mentioned the Convert all bug has been present for quite a while (basically from the start of the event). It could've been fixed way before they decided to disable adding plunder from inventory.
Yikes! I had no idea that one existed! I really hope its fixed soon (Cause I'm super behind) but take all the time you need!
Oh no, this isn't good! Let's hope it gets extended because of this.
The exploit let you do the same map over and over and over while retaining any loot as long as you stayed on the page. I did it once on accident and never again cuz i'm a good bear!
Hmmm... I didn't come across anything like that. I wish people wouldn't cheat and ruin it for everyone. :(
Good luck with fixing things!
I'm really curious about the exploit now.
I didn't even encounter bugs people were talking about, and I had no clue about exploits.
But, I totally support your decision and stance on exploiting stuff on purpose.
This had to be done.
And I know the special Oceandome event is in progress, and I know people usually hoping that it will get fixed asap... But, in my opinion, you should take your time fixing it. Don't want to fix it half way, and then for the problem to appear in the future.
So, if it takes some time out of the event, it's not your fault
So, good luck Furvilla dev team
I had no idea people where exploiting on this.
Hopefully the issue get's fixed soon as i had plans to get double of some plush's and get the rest if i can.
Wow, never knew there was an exploit. I hope this gets fixed soon!
