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.

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.

I am not going to stop using a weapon I have used for 150 hours and put 20 points and gear towards, because they introduced a bug. That's ridiculous.

Same with Great Axe . its got a speed run buff bug . Im thinking of stopping using that to use just musket but that has speed run buff bug too . Apparently something is wrong with fire staff. Light Staff is kinda nerfed because crouching doesnt heal anymore .

Maybe Spear is safe to use ?

Maybe bare hands? Although I am sure that has a bug also.

They really need to hire some people and put together a proper Q&A team.
There's really no reason for a company to bring out game patches without properly testing them before putting them on a live server...

I think the bug they fixed was game breaking . Invulnerability . Vs you doing a bit more damage . I think the fix is temporary till they find a better solution

But the invulnerability bug is not related to the hatchet. So why would it affect the hatchet, but not other weapons?
Looks to me like they did more than just fix bugs.

It's not just a bit more damage either. It's highly overpowering, especially in PVP situations.
2000 damage per hit without buffs or skills on a level 49 hatchet is a lot.
Other players do not have a chance, level 55 mobs get 3 hit.

keep playing on

I'm sure no one is going to go after you for playing through normally.

Playing with a hatchet isn't the issue here. Big difference between doing something like playing through a game using the normal mechanics, bug or not, even if it gives you an advantage. The problem was the wise guy splaying this out they for everyone just because he hates the game. This is his "pay back" and middle finger to NW because it makes him sad.

Big difference between playing normal and actively going after a buggy issue just because it gives you the advantage.

No one's telling you not to. Not the problem here.

I dont hate the game, I enjoy it, but these game breaking bugs will surely kill the player base if they dont do anything about it. Ppl jumping over Ice Spikes, Fire Staffs firing twice the rate, hatchets dealing massive ammounts of dmg, only to mention a few game breaking bugs ppl r exploiting in PvP right now. It isnt an optional exploitation if you're in a guild fighting daily offensive and defensive wars, like us... If they dont fix their ♥♥♥♥ quickly only exploiters will keep on playing.

I think wires got crossed, Crow. Wasn't referring to you. Just the OP I get what you're saying and I agree. The bugs are endlessly frustrating. Having to keep refreshing the AH so you don't buy the wrong thing is a prime example. It's a mess for sure.

The passive ability that stacks damage by 10% for every enemy near you is currently bugged and will sometimes stay active even when enemies have already died. This is the ability that is causing the issue and can be completely avoided by not picking it up.

Simple as that.

[DownSouth05]

So, the OP is using an exploit, thought it was a good idea to say something here so we can all try it, rather than report it he says the game is broken. Does the OP live in a perfect world? I sure would like to live there as well lol

Not picking what up? I have 20 points in the hatchet skill tree, and gear towards the hatchet build.

Why should I switch to something else or respec to work around a bug they introduced?

That's not the way this works. They have to learn to test their patches before releasing them on a live server. As far as I know nobody asked for them to work on the hatchet skills. For some reason they messed it up. That's on them, not on me.
