Title: Are EU DTV players wizards?
Post by: Tristan_of_Erzoth on October 23, 2015, 10:15:27 pm
A few times on DTV different EU players summon massive lines of practice daggers on their charges to fight the hordes of bots. I can only assume these players are wizards and should be burned at the stake. Below is attached evidence:

Since when does the pickaxe have polearm blocking animations?

And any DTV hero knows that this is simply the "ballista glitch."

The way of the ballista takes many years to master. All its hidden secrets can be overwhelming for some.

It's true, I haven't figured it out the art of ballista replication yet. People in NA use to do it too lol

Countless wangs masterpieces have been crafted using the power of the mighty ballista.

Actually it's annoying and often crashing the bloody servers.
Those wizards should be kicked off and afterwards banned in my eyes.
Also bots tend to teleport to the ballista afterwards which is just dumb and suckz :evil:

I remember something similar happening in a private server in Left 4 Dead. There was a command to spawn weapons and some trolls would keep spawning them forever until framerate dropped a lot and eventually the server crashed.

Do you think it happens in DTV too?

There are 3 balista bugs:

1. One player teleports other player to a somewhat random location(requires cooperation between them). Sometimes the teleported dies.

2. One player can walk around and spawn unlimited amount of the "empty" balista item.

3. One player teleports a random other person(including virgin or bots) to the balista and makes him "trapped" (similar to 2.). This often crashes the server.

Storulven does 2. all the time but he never wants to tell me how to do it :( .

Yes coz most of the day nothing happens and server is running smoothly
Only seen it crashing after someone exploited so far.. So in my eyes it can have a connection.. :|

I've seen it spammed a lot with no effect, with up to 3 players spamming them. They get despawned by the server pretty soon.

A server crash might have been entirely coincidental, since the DTV servers restart mid-map quite frequently compared to the other modes.
