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.
i dont understand why we're not allowed to know what the exploit is if no one can use maps right now anyways ?
Oh man, I hope it gets resolved soon!
Heard about both from the blog that shall not be named earlier today, and was about two seconds from sending a bug report in before this was posted lmao :,)
I heard rumors of an exploit but never actually found out what said exploit was. Not sure if I was affected by it or not. Glad to hear we might be getting a fix though.
wow, this really sucks.
a few bad apples really spoils the bunch. -sighs-
oops, please disregard my previous past.
I thought using maps and crafting maps were both disabled
It's not anything to do with exploration turns for everyone asking that one.

Continuation from previous post:
I'm not saying that I do know what the exploit is (in which I actually don't), but I'm just pointing something out.
@ Everyone Tbh, I don't think it has to explorations resetting. It can either happen just from doing a task in the maps or hourly explorations refreshes (like if you use a map at like 6:00 pm when you already explored before 6)
I'm not sure if I've used it accidentally or not, what kind of exploit was it? I had my explorer have all his exploration turns renewed once but I assumed it was because I'd forgotten to explore with him
