Report an Alpha 21 Bug!

  • Double experience for kills (exploit)

    Summary: (a short description of the bug)

     

    Game Version: A20.3 (it surely worked a few versions before as well...)

    Platform: PC

    OS/Version: Windows10

    Game mode: Client on dedi; any world

     

    Are you using any mods? No

    EAC on or off? On

     

    Status: NEW

     

    Bug Description:

    Fire debuff (both torch and molotov) has weird quality of doubling experience from kills if you finish off your targets with a torch or pipebomb/grenades (while they are burning). For torch kills also works if debuff is applied on last hit.

    Torch kills are a bit too easy to exploit, and molotov+explosive really makes electricity unwanted (explosives are already better in my opinion(up to lvl40 at least; I find endgame extremely boring since I have all I want by getting to T4 quests...), so why bother with end game electricity..?)

    If you think explosives/molotovs are hard to get... Well, as long as there are fetch/burried supplies quests which reward molotovs and pipes and you can buy grenades <100coins each, they are about infinite...

    I really liked this exploit while it lasted, but it makes for extreme early snowballing which cuts the best part of the game (the early game) in half...

     

    Detailed steps to reproduce the bug:

     

    1) set enemy on fire

    2) while hes burning, finish him with pipe bomb/grenade (any type) or with a torch

     

    Actual result: (description of what is occurring)

        you got two kills for one zombie!

     

    Expected result: (what you expect to occur)

      a single kill

    Do you have an output log and a video of this happening?

    So much work to report a bug. That REALLY holds me back on reporting.

    Im ready to provide you with a video (whether over ftp or to load it on some server with scp; tried loading on youtube but it wines on something; whatever...) of me joining random server and showing that killing burning target with torch yields double kills (it took a while; Id rather have you just believe me that it also works this way for grenade(as in any throwable explosive; dunno about rocket launcher, haven't tested yet) kills of burning targets).

    Otherwise you can just do it yourself really.

     

    also; perhaps it only affects dedicated servers; it didnt work while I was hosting a game to check it out; as well as I dont remember if it did work if another client (non-dedicated server) hosted the game.

     

    I am unaware of what kind of log can I provide to prove it.

    There are two other minor bugs Id like to report, but can you guys at least provide some easy-to-deliver method for  less then 300 mb video-reports?

    If youtube doesn't work for you, I've used imgur and gfycat. Contrary to their names, they do support video uploads -- gfycat seems lower quality so I only use it when imgur doesn't want to cooperate with me.

    Well, I was unwilling to send it raw, but cutting it just doesnt work for me. About 2 minutes of relevant footage so skip the rest.

    Joined some random server with map I dont have to download. Was willing to join other to see its not about the server, but couldn't connect to other servers so I did cut it there.

    Confirmed this is possible as client on a Dedi or as client on P2P. Thank you for the report. Just for future reference, a video and log makes it much easier for us to recreate bugs. We get many that miss a critical detail, so we can't recreate it. Then later we find the missing tidbit that would have let us get it fixed months earlier.
