The reply i got from Hobo Shiftyy was via voice chat (i do not have a audio file to provide). the information they gave me was the same as TEXASr0adhouse, but with the addition of all their stats (S.A.V.A.G.E.) were all maxed and could use every perk associated with them.
on a seperate matter:
when we saw him in game they were also running with 2 arena champions. we asked him how he acquired them he said he glitched them out from the war makers dungeon, caped her as a thrall, and transfered them over to 7072. He then proceeded to supply my partner with one (which makes 3 at this point).
Will edit this message with any additional new information or screenshots i can gather on the matter.
This sounds like the same bug/exploit that occured on enhanced a while back. It seems to be something that some did by accident, but others are deliberately taking advantage of - because it allows maxing all stats. (It might be worth checking back with Hobo Shiftyy to see whether they have all the knowledge points that they should have for max level, because that was something that apparently people at level 61 where missing a lot of the knowledge points - so that might help confirm it really is the exact same problem.)
This doesn’t seem to quite match up with other instances of people having level 61 on Legacy previously - because all the reports there seem to be of the complaint variety, with none mentioning any up side. So it may be that one of the recent updates has triggered the same problem that previously triggered on Enhanced. If it is the same problem, that may be good news, since it was possible to fix on enhanced, so maybe the same fix could work again for Legacy.
i checked back with both Hobo shiftyy and TEXASr0adh0use:
Hobo shiftyy was NOT willing to share any information on the bug at all or how it affected there stats/attributes. i did leave them a link to this forum to assist if they wish to do so on there own time.
Yeah, seems like it is probably the same issue. I don’t know how it was done on Enhanced, but people who did know insisted it was extremely easy, so it could well have been the same method.
when i get home tonight i will try replicating this with a character from a different server in order to provide any addition information to this forum.
Probably a good idea to remove the link to the explanation of how to perform the exploit - it’s generally not a great idea to explain how (I think it may even be against forum rules).
Again, this seems to be a problem caused at base level by the transfer system being borked.
Hopefully, if @Dana can pass this over to the team, they should be able to stop transfers from working this way. Then it will just be a matter of them also needing to remove all the exploited characters and/or items from the servers.
(Just FYI, because some of your comments seem like you think I might be able to fix this - I am just another player trying to help out - but it seems like you’ve gathered some really good info, so hopefully the devs should be able to do something with it.)
i know @Dana hid a few others iv posted about needing things fixed and how to recreate them. so that the people in charge could view them still. (im assuming)
is there a way to do that with this as well. casue i do agree. i dont want this info getting out either.
yeah im in no way shape or form trying to educate people how to preform the exploits!
this is me looking how to replicate a bug/exploite and submitting it up the chain to help fix major bugs/exploits. only looking to help a game ive been playing for years.
The only way I can think of would be to send it to Dana (or a dev, if one contacted you) in a direct message - that way the info would be out there, but not public.
Might be best to remove the reproduction steps for now, and instead say that you have them available but would prefer to communicate them privately. Dana might then be able to suggest where it would be best to send them.
There lying about how it’s done and as for the arena champ, it was a bug in 2023 that allowed players to knock her out. when the server transfer was put back on a few months ago it caused a duping glitch..people brought out old body vaults they had them stored on and because funcom didn’t fix it for 2 weeks there are more players with them now
I’m retired from bug testing These are all old glitches resurfacing, or ones Funcom have already dealt with on EU5. I’ve done my fair share of testing and reporting over the years — I’ll leave this round to someone else
