    Hello Daybreak and PS2 community.


    I will try to make it as short as i can.

    First of all Thank you for Planetside 2. It has great potential, my outfit and me is having great fun for months. And we are specially having a lot of fun with Colossus tank mobs on the battlefield and steel rain war assets.

    Sadly though steel rain is very buggy and people get stuck in the sky to fall down and die a horrible death or even worse get stuck in the ground forced to redeploy fast or game will crash with error codes.


    BUT there is some sort of physic bugs involved with the Colossus tank or whatever is going on and some salty players have found a way to exploit them hardcore. this always happens when we start to dominate bases or win a lockdown on peak hour when game is fully populated. this is happening on weekly basis now the last nr 4 clip is a new one i didn't see before with caltrop exploit but the others is a classic now sadly, 2 min before that happened on that clip nr 4 he try same thing with the Caltrop NO c4 just caltrop and my tank starting to shake like crazy i was sure i was gonna fly to the moon again like in the clip nr 2. i started to clip out a few of the different ones to show what kind of exploits is going on here.

    Please if anyone tried the same thing or something alike this share your clips of it so we can get this fixed asap.

    Clip 1 Light ANVIL exploit, happen countless of tries against me now sometimes they use 15+ anvils to do it just right and BOOOM i teamkill hole tank and suicide :D

    Clip 2 physic bug exploit, they usualy use liberators to best perform this bug but some players manage to do it with lightning tanks mounted with c4 also sends you to the moon or just flib the tank ONE lib or lightning tank can do this.

    :eek:...... I can see suicide bombers, that is fine, but bouncing a 90 ton tank like it is made of Play Dough? :confused: That is just nuts.... I have never seen this done on Genudine. Fear of things like this is one of the reason I left all 4 of mine in the shed.
    o_O You might want to edit that and post how it is done in Report by the date. :( You do not want to start a pandemic of this do you?
  3. Freyzez

    All 4 clips are 100% exploit. 1 player cannot kill a colossus tank like that. try take the clips in slow motion/frame by frame you can see how the hp is taken and there is 1 enemy with caltrop...... :slight_smile: its pure physic bugs. It is just reverse how they slam the tank into the ground instead of the sky and it is fall damage it takes basicly and not C4 or anything in this case. I simply want this fixed from daybreak asap or at least suspend the exploiters. its getting worse and worse every week they find new exploits.
  4. Exileant

    ;) I get that, but there is a reason they tell you not to post Exploits in the actual feed. By explaining how it is done and supplying videos to the for the Forum to see, you are spreading it. o_O You are supposed to place exploits and anything regarding cheating in Report Player to prevent this. :confused: See now I and everyone else who has read this now knows how to do it. As for the A.N.V.I.L. drop? I am sure that is going to be a viable solution for the ACTUAL physical container to stop the Colossus from getting too comfortable and entrenching, but they do need to fix the issue where the hologram is able to kill you. :eek: It is something that is supposed to be on your camera H.U.D. and should not be able to kill anything. The videos of the incident are fine because they need proof, but explaining how to do it is a Nay-no.

    Bug, exploit, cheat it doesn't matter the point there is its not suppose to be in game :p i don't know how they do this so not sure what to write there. specially the anvil one and flying to the moon :D but i already posted this in ticket's and they told me to report it here in bug report. i would say Exploit bug. but when they use it like they do to try win lock downs it turns into something really game breaking.
  6. Freyzez

    Here is the second Caltrop exploit my mates in platoon tell me just after it happen. you can watch full video if you want you can see there is nobody around and minimap all clear we have scout radar vehicles always with us etc. again they do it peak hour all 3 factions got bastions out we did quad colossus tanks. Daybreak we are many begging you to look into this.

    Anvil exploit very clearly show here. Daybreak can you please wake up and start doing something about this soon there is massive exploiting going on in your game on daily basis witness by many many people of all kinds of bugs being abused. its happening everyday people using anvils to oneshot whatever they want when they start losing on the battlefield. And steel rain is still making people stuck in the sky....

    Also now they start logging Vanu spawn on our router to C4 teamkill it 1 min later NC/TR assault comes they place their own router or build silo and try wall my colossus tank and trap it on purpose then 8-10 prowler assault comes the same time...... i have clips of everything im talking about if u want ill make them for you :)

    This is really messed up and horrible sportsmanship. Can we please get a Dev acknowledgment of this and a fix?

    People are starting to quit the game population gets lower and lower every week that passes there is soo many bugs even bugs people get suspended for no reason because they get stuck in the ground, in the wall or in the sky there is a ENDLESS list of game breaking bugs and some of them can be used to suspend people others as exploit cheating basically like steel rain and anvil's. So daybreak you really need to wake up now and fix ALL of this before NSO overhaul patch or there is A LOT of communities that will turn to other great games coming out soon. we are many that love planetside and find it unique there is nothing like it on the market so it would be a sad era ending if this is not fixed before that patch.

    I spawned my first colossus tank today and there were a dozen light anvil drops targeted toward me. I got really lucky and managed to avoid them but it really messed up my retreat. Didn't feel good having people try to rain exploits on me

    Sad to hear this was your first experience with the tank :/ but thanks for sharing! Take howling pass to NS material storage on indar for instance. that small narrow path they don't even need to use the exploit they can just use holograms to block you to death :D but if they hit JUST right BOOOM. it feels really sad when it starts to happen, if you ever take that path in colossus you need escort in front and back of you with sundies to stop the exploit and already people pushing in or else 2-3 prowlers can easily gank you as they can just block you to death with light anvil holograms i now have on platoon voice call ANVIL FORMATION GUYS GOGO! its so sad but the teamwork and will involved in the community and my team keeping going is amazing! even cheaters for 8 months on us we will prevail!.................

    exploits?

    lol

    As soon as they released the armory assets the first thing that came to mind was using anvils as ghetto nukes. As far as we know getting creative with the anvils is encouraged and perfectly fine. Unless the devs say otherwise, I highly doubt using anvils as obstacles is an exploit.
  16. McZephyrus


    Did you read ANYTHING that OP shared? The exploit isn't using anvils as roadblocks or as falling kill boxes, it's the fact that the holographic anvil symbol on the ground instantly kills any vehicles that it appears under and it appears instantly and without warning. God, read something.

    Anyways, @Freyzez, they're fixing it with the patch today! Woohoo! It was literally the first bug fix note.
  17. VV4LL3

    Nice. If this wont get patched or fixed, is it technically an exploit, or are the devs consenting with silence?
  18. Freyzez

    Everything of it is fixed now :) so no more exploit cheat blocking to win and no more oneshotting colossus to win. Sadly we found out who did it too lately but nothing happen no bans :( but atleast its all over my outfit is happy.
