Ok is it just me or is every single major exploit this game has had came from Rikti? I mean look at it:

1)Monkey Farming
2)Portal spawn farming
3)Portals granting alot of exp farming
4)Ouroubous vanguard exploit
5)Lv42 Rikti Communication glitch

......... I think these aliens are giving us more then pointers on new technology, and world destruction. . .

I Have the most awsome travel powers in the game, and it's all thanks to lag! They are :

- (SSS) Super Slow Speed
- (RBTP) Rubberbanding TP
- Instant Death while Server D/C's

Don't you wish you were me? Well now you can with LAG POWER! -Phoenix

1) this is not a technical issue nor is it a new bug
2) you are wrong because there have been other exploits that were much bigger that did not involve rikti.

Rikti farming just happens to be the current best method of fast xp/influ/tickets.

I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.

Not all.

The demon summoning portal is an example.

But Rikti have been involved in many of them.

You know it is just a Nemesis plot hiding in the background and pulling the strings.

I don't think this is a technical issue that other players can help you with...perhaps you should PM your concerns to one of the Devs? They don't really come in here often, so this is unlikely to be seen by anyone that can address your concern.

What about the Kheld player who figured out a way to 2-shot Hamidon by putting an infinite number of slots in one of his blasts?

So is this really a covert Chuck Norris factoid?

This actually happened. A Kheld discovered a bug while respecing that let him keep putting slots into a single power. The only reason it took two shots to kill Hamidon instead of one is that the damage cap was less than Hamidon's hits.

Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

Were Kheldians even introduced before ED? I can't recall...

If they were, then I could see this being one of the earliest bugs, but then... was Hamidon even raidable pre ED?

Back then, I'm sure there was no "no one hit kills" code...

If either of those are untrue, then there's simply no way that adding 30 or so slots to a power, and slamming damage enhancements in it, would do enough of anything. It would have to have literally been someone could add "infinite' slots to a power, and infinite diminishing return damage enhancements.. until they got bored.

1- Kheld were indeed introduced before ED

2- yes Hami was raidable before ED

3- dunno how they did it or how they found it , but pre-ed and unlimited amount of slots....It must have been long to fill enough slots to 2shot hami.
