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.
Admin-Wisteria ah yes I see, that's indeed a big and not-able-to-be-done-by-accident thing lmao
At leat the 20 exploring thing rarely happened and barely makes you any richer anyways heck
MZZA
If you opened maps on multiple tabs, you could keep using them.
If you right-clicked plunder, opened it in a new tab, then did so multiple times, you could use that plunder multiple times.
Both are very niche situations, but allow for infinite plunder. A few players simply reported it and moved on, and a couple tests is expected, but if you somehow end up with thousands of plunder points, that's not okay.
The extra exploration rounds are a concern, but not something currently under investigation as the above is our primary concern right now.
Wait why the plunder thing?
There've actually gone some points missing for me, doing that. If this is map related, why remove the inventory plunder option?
Admin-Wisteria so it's not the extra explorer round then? (Seeing as that got mentioned by me you know where. Just CBA to actually report it because I thought it was well known as it was in the exploring guide as well, and I always closed the maps out of habit as well, before I could even use the rounds up lol)
Tbh I think it'd be best to be open about it? A lot of people have no idea what's going on. I know you're probably like "the exploiters will know", but that doesn't really help the unknowing, nervous people who are like "oh no maybe I used it by accident"
Irisidium I don't think so, i noticed people getting bad for it already (at least i think so)
Will there be another extension given how maps are the central part of the event mechanics?
Sigh. Hope you guys would fix it soon!
" I was hoping the glitch would remain private information" So were the people that did know allowed to continue using it...??

(93%understand)Oh , that happen…
Is there going to be an extention on this? maps were the only way I could get points.
(also crap I hope it wasn't that the turns would half-refresh, i just assumed that the reset tick had gone off)
