Global server reset for chars with stats over 30

**cloudwolf**

Stats were capped at 30 as part of CR2 and a roll-back like suggested happened to avoid just this problem. It seems this lag bug was a way around that but was never rolled back once the problem was fixed. Hence this thread.

Perhaps you're misunderstanding the premise, because it's about as blatant an exploit as could be.

Back before the fix, you could set yourself up somewhere nice and laggy in Downtown, for instance, and proceed to apply stats to certain areas with great rapidity. Due to the lag, the system couldn't keep up with your mouse clicks, and eventually wound up overcompensating. People ended up with stats beyond 30 (enjoying massive damage output, or impenetrable defense, and giving birth to dozens of naked PvP'ers), making it an exploit.
Hm. I'm not saying my memory is perfect but so far as I can recall; players used to be able to allocate their attribute points as they wished and it wasn't until around or just after Blue Sky that attributes were capped at 30. I don't remember anything about lag being necessary but I could be wrong as I can't find mention of the cap in any Update Notes.

It's always been 30 in Cr2 since it's been live and everyones stats were reset so that nobody would have stats over 30 as Cr2 was released.

Indeed there was an exploit a long time ago with stat sploiting, I had everyone do manditory RSI Hacks for a tournament on Vector which covered a lot of people so the chances are minimal that there's many left on there.

Ah, I see. In that case I retract my previous statement concerning the status of the problem. Thanks for the explanation.

Only reason I can see that someone has no problem with this, would be if they used this exploit themselves!
It's not an exploit. I don't use it.

I'll thank you not to point the finger.

This is a well know exploit Cadsuane.I'm amazed by your responce!

These forums are bugged, there's a second page worth of responses SMILEY

Yah, I support this idea. Global reset of stats would be lovely.

This is why certain people can outroll you amazingly enough in pathetic PvP wear. It's always strange how the same people refuse to do a stat hack as well.

If it reduces any number of exploits then I'm all for it.

~~Granted, this is still from the Playtest server, but this one of the mentions regarding 30 being the 'cap' that I found.~~

...nothing to see here...

It's not really a roll eyes matter, though, is it. A genuine, unfixed exploit is a concern for all.
