Do you know what is even more annoying? The jerk doing the exploit last night was on my team and he built a teleporter to get to the area quickly. So guess what happened when I used the teleporter on the ground....? And you can't get out of that area without typing "kill". I lost about 1 minute of healing people because of it. GG

I saw someone doing what looked kind of like an explot (I think? It didn't look too beneficial...) in Dustbowl. Of course, the person was doing it on a server that was low pop (2-3 people in total when I logged).

I don't really want to give away too much info right here about it right here, but it does sound alot like what you guys are talking about. The main difference is, I think, you can see the NG in the Dustbowl one, and whatever s/he's doing.

Like I said, it was a very low pop server, so there really wasn't anyone about to get shot by it (I was on the same team) so, again, I don't know if I'd call it an exploit - at least until we find out that the turret can't be distroyed because of its location.

Was this on our server, or somewhere else?

If it is ours... take screenshots and get their name/steamID and submit it to the admins.

I'm pretty sure it was ours. I don't spend time trying to fill up the servers if it's not from here. =P

I know I should have Screenshot'd it, but I didn't realise this until well after the fact. If I see it again, I'll certaintly catch the sucker on... erm... film?

We have changed GravelPit so that the exploit entrance has a nice little surprise for anyone who stands there....
Let me know if they are still doing it.

Hydro was fixed in the last update.

They are long since banned already. Tickles and I took care of it. Squirrel was there within 3 minutes of me getting killed - I think Tickles had died JUST before me. They were banned a moment later.

Tickles and I checked it out first hand this morning. It's like instant death. Stand in that spot - die. lol

Now I want to try to force peopel to walk back into that corner! ^_^

Oh, now I'm very curious... How about just tell me now? Oh please? I asked nicely...

Post by **TheCarpe** » Fri Nov 16, 2007 5:14 pm

Yeah, I must say that now that it's resolved...I'm a little curious.

Though the axe would never let me use such a thing (and even without it I wouldn't be so cheap), I can't help but wonder exactly what it was they were doing.

Long story short for all you curious people,

These people were using a tiny hole in the map to fall THROUGH the map and get underneath it. They were then placing a sentry gun UNDER the map directly outside the spawn area of the defending team. The long story made short is that these guns absolutely destroyed the defending team - they couldn't even get out of spawn, let alone actually defend, AND they couldn't take out the guns because the ground registered a hit when you tried to shoot the gun. Which wasnt even visible any how - you wouldn't know it was there until you died from it.

VERY annoying.

As I said, Tickles and I checked out the "fix" this morning, and had a good laugh about it. If you stand in the particular spot that these exploiters were using before, you now die - nearly instantly. Beautifully done Dog! ^_^
