EXPLOIT!!! PW trolls time locking PW events

[EvilHare]

Presently on NA PVE01-00022 we have 2 trolls who go to a PW event, triggers it, and then leaves. No announcement either. They repeat this with several PWs and have the higher tier PWs time locked almost constantly.

We have reported them several times. This has been going on non-stop since yesterday evening. Still going on this morning. And it is the same two people.

Best solution for the devs to do is make sure Steroids are not refundable for a failed PW. The other thing would be when one triggers a PW, their name and which PW should be posted in the chat. This is done for other open world raids.

Either way this has to stop. The server is basically held hostage with these type of trolls.

What do you mean? Just have your clan place down some cannons and kill the boss?

If you've ever played any mmo what he is saying PW is started after every CD by 2 trolls but I mean if that;s the case I dont see why they dont just setup and when the next cd rolls around they be set

Wow, didn't knew NA server is a mess with such horrible trolls. In the first pve SEA server, everyone working together in PW to beat up Manibus for the server wide reward of starcrhom(I think the PW people don't even sleep). No one starts the higher lvl difficulty PWs without making a team and getting organized. And I thought our server was a bit messy because people be arguing on WC about the stupidity of some of the players startin it unprepared.

So explain it then?

On my server, anyone can build since it's PvE. So you and your boys so slap down turrets with bio missiles and when the boss spawns you nuke it. Simple as.

The fact that this is even possible is CRAZY and they need to rethink how PWs are implemented. 30min cooldowns and the already difficult task of getting everyone ready at the same time. There needs to be some kind of override mechanic or it can't be started unless X amount of players are in the PW zone.

They get there while you are prepping. Making missiles, defenses and such. SO there is no time to begin if prep is not done.

This is simple enough to understand yet ...

When I reported this to Discord bot, it responded with bans are going to be issued and they are working on a fix.

SO hopefully we will see Staroids non-refundable. A simple and quick solution. They can still do it, but limited in how often.

The other solution would be to make a world chat announcement like they do when players trigger other public events (refineries and such). Name and location. SO it will be easier to report the troll and easier to track.

GG chasing it up and following through. PWs are one of the best things about this game (when they work as intended) Fingers crossed they find a decent solution.

Instead of Prime War they should have called it I hope You Brought Enough Rockets For Everybody War

You can build any time though, and missiles you just take from a chest and teleport there instantly. No excuses.

Teleporting is the primary cause of lag. This has been tested and proven. So no one ports in.

ok you can still set up for between cooldowns. porting or not porting doesn't change that.
