Posted July 25, 200718 yr Here's a reply one of the DICE guys made in a thread regarding the newest patch 1.4. It clearly states that Pod exploiting breaks away from the original intentions of the game and should hopefully be fixed in the next patch. Took them long enough! Original Post
July 25, 200718 yr We were one of the few servers that realized it was an exploit, and took action to prevent it. It's nice to see them admit it is an exploit, and was never intended to be in the game. JUSTICE SERVED!
July 25, 200718 yr Allright, i don't have to run with my head up and get a neck pain anymore from watching those guys.
July 25, 200718 yr Yes, I agree. It was totally an exploit and it seemed like they weren't acknowledging it for awhile because they didn't have a fix for it. I'm sure this will get rid of people podding from harbor to EU base and the like. I hope it gets rid of the roof campers too!
July 25, 200718 yr You know everyone talks about pod exploiting, but i never exactly know what it entails? anyone wanna explain to me what pod exploiting is?
July 25, 200718 yr You know everyone talks about pod exploiting, but i never exactly know what it entails? anyone wanna explain to me what pod exploiting is? Normally when you spawn on a squad leader beacon, you can't move your beacon and it lands close to the beacon, right? But with pod surfing you can take control of the pod and move it across the map if you wanted. I'm not sure how to do it, i think it involves spinning really fast because one time just for fun i span really fast while going down and my pod moved somewhere else... Either way I'm starting to switch over to GRAW 2, which doesn't have pods
July 25, 200718 yr -Uh oh, EA fixed something...I remember when they "optimized" titan and made it more laggy. Now we are going to have a new bug... PTD--PodToDesktop! :plolol
July 25, 200718 yr I'm just curious to see how they "fix" it -Removal of the pods, you now just pop up when you spawn LOLOL...:rolleyes:I dunno:p
July 25, 200718 yr They could just make it so you can't spin the things and only can look up and down.
July 25, 200718 yr -Removal of the pods, you now just pop up when you spawn LOLOL...:rolleyes:I dunno:p That would take alot of coding and knowing EA it would cause a crash everytime u spawn. :peace:
July 25, 200718 yr I'd say you just appear at the beacon. That's the only way that makes sense. They could ARE PEE it and say technology had just been invented for instantaneous transport or something...I dunno. Good servers. Me likey.
July 25, 200718 yr PTD--PodToDesktop! :plolol Har larryious. You made my day. Good servers. Me likey. Thanks bud, we try.
July 26, 200718 yr Someone is always going to try to do something the designer didn't think of. We had a blackjack game on a old computer BPC (Before PC) and one guy figured if you bet negative money and lost, you won. He "won" over a million dollars before the program was fixed to accept only positive numbers for the bet. Negative money doesn't exist in the real world but someone figured a way to push the envelope. They do the same things in computer games.

With all the respect... http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/5515/oreillyowl6dx.jpg I played UO(Ultima Online) for 6 years and i can tell you trying to get those glitches is the life of a lot of people. I recall this time OSI(now EA) added neon collored hair but it was very expensive, well they added it to the normal color change menu but it would be "hidden" so only with the special one(a lot of money) you could pick it, but with only a little bit of visual basic you could select the expensive one with the cheap one. I made a lot of money on ebay with that...
July 26, 200718 yr thank god! im tired of them pd exploiting when im trying to rape their beacon, lol

They could ARE PEE it and say technology had just been invented for instantaneous transport or something...I dunno. Good servers. Me likey. That would defeat the purpose of the pod. The purpose of dropping in a pod to a beacon is that the other team has a chance of seeing the pods drop and figuring out there is a beacon. If you just popped there then they would have no idea what was hitting them.

If you just popped there then they would have no idea what was hitting them. I didn't think of that. We were being over ran and there was no close spawn points but I noticed a pod coming down. I destroyed the beacon and we stopped being overran. I agree that it is important to know where the pods are coming from.
