Hatchet Exploit

[Rise Up Lights]

So they fix one thing, they break another. I wasnt sure to believe it when I first heard, but I went and tested it out for myself. If you exclusively use the Hatchet only and do not swap weapons, after 8-10 kills, maybe a few more, the damage ramps up on it to more than double damage. I did this in Shattered Mountain on lvl 63s and i normally do 1400-1800 per swing, and after several kills that number is 4000-5000 per swing and I am killing lvl 63 enemies in either 3-4 hits depending on the mob. Insanely broken, and the crazies part...you dont have to do anything, just use the weapon like you normally would.

Yeah? So your solution is to make it MORE public... Id throw the ban hammer at you if it were up to me. Permanently.

And yet, new world forums, bugs and exploit section, that anyone can view...

Requires you to post on how to do said bug or exploit...

Your hatchet is double because hatchet has a lot of damage perks, berserk+enemies around you 10% per enemy around you+enemy health amount+your health amount, it all comes out to over 100% which is double your normal hits. I use hatchet as my secondary when I tank and saw no difference in damage output, same numbers, 700-1500, never changed, unless the enemies surrounded me, then it pushed into the 2k zone. Someone with actual damage for their hatchet (Mine is 503) can easily be over 1k with hatchet, so 5k a hit is not out of the realm of possibilities if they have all the factors right.

can confirm this works but its randomly happening all arround shattered mountain for me.

example you do 800 dmg per hit non crit

and after the bug accurs you do 2k dmg non crit

your dmg has more than doubled now without having any active buffs it just keeps going on untill you teleport or switch weapons...

and when it comes to crits you can do more than 4,5k with heavy attacks

its broken, dumb and has been reported already in the forums but looks like amazon didnt acknockledge the bug.

I dont think its an exploit, but its a bug.

Yeah that's a huge brainless setup they've got right there. Makes zero sense.

That's not what's happening. If this were the case, you would see the damage right away. It actually takes a handful of mobs to go through before it kicks in. I don't believe it has anything to do with the buffs from skill or equipment. None of the numbers add up. Not to mention, there were no buffs active when it took place and no skills activated.

Then it sounds like they botched GA (Bloodlust always on.) and now hatchet. Enjoy them while they last, bugs like this certainly won't be avoided in terms of use. I personally won't use them, but others definitely will. However, given the community. Fully expect to get reported for cheating if someone sees you soloing a 60+ elite zone with no issues.

The bug is not only hatchet, there is a similar bug with the greataxe and bloodlust.

Making these things more public is how you expose bugs and get them fixed asap. If amazon doesn't like that, they should have made a better game ;)

So the logic is .. game pissed me off. Gonna burn it down for everyone else.

Got it.... How we got to the 21st century blows my mind. Darwinism is truly broken because apparently some of you are immune to the gene pool filtration system.

How exactly is he burning it down for everybody else? He's simply giving his personal opinion on what he experienced playing the game.

If a single opinion is able to burn it down for everybody else, then obviously there's something seriously wrong.

[GermanBarbarian]

the hatched bug in combination with animation cancel melts any boss

[Wolfera]

It really isnt an exploit, the game is pretty much broken right now. On SA servers the team with more hatchets wins the outpost rush. Ppl in my company r already changing their builds because theres no counter, a buffed hatchet will melt anyone, even healer tanks.

Its an exploit when you purposely use it after knowing about it. But yes, its a bug.
