I’m not going to explain how this exploit is performed. I don’t wish to encourage the use of it further, though, I know that many people are very aware of it and I know for a fact that the staff are also aware of it.
For those who don’t know, there is a way to instantly kill any player in the game if they don’t use a kit that negates fall damage. Basically, you are launched 200+ blocks into the air and unless you’re using hornet, you’re going to die when you hit the ground. This exploit is consistent and extremely easy to execute and it’s very painful since the combo has a very short cooldown (you’re also rooted in place and can’t run away from it).
I’d like to hear what the community and the developers have to say about it. Though it may not be a massive issue currently, I’m sure we’re all noticing it becoming increasingly more prevalent and it’s extremely frustrating to play against.I know a few of you will say “just use hornet” and though yes that does stop you from being one-shot, it doesn’t make the combo any less annoying to play against. I’d also like to point out that to the regular players, buying a kit pass for hornet really isn’t anything since we can easily make 1000+ tokens per day but picture yourself as someone who’s just joined this server or somebody that’s less dedicated, to them, wasting 300 tokens just so that they can’t get one-shot by a bug isn’t exactly a great form of counterplay considering they probably don’t even make 300 tokens per day. If I was a new player and I jumped down to have some fights, getting mercilessly 3-5v1’d, spammed with elementalist arrows and having a kit with an area of effect blind cancelling my sprint constantly would be irritating enough let alone being essentially one-shot by something I can’t control.
I’ve also heard rumours that this is an intended thing, though, I don’t see how any competent developer could view such a mechanic as healthy for the server even if it isn’t exactly the most competitive server out there.
