Infiltration Ops

[Illtempered]

Welcome to VH0T Infiltration Ops. Not to worry. The intelligence has been reported to the proper authorities, and is obviously highly-classified.

Yes TR, we have your BFR tech in our posession. We've been in there...we've touched it, probed it, and analyzed it. That was one of my most memorable ops. We got into the BFR hangar under fire. There was actually a TR platoon attacking us with squad beacons, sunderers, and gal drops. They didn't want us touching their BFR. Epic memories...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/Illtempered/screenshot_20130324-16-25-59.jpg

All your warpgate are belong to us (=

Thanks to Shaql who was the inspiration for most if not all of these ops. He is the R&D master and has become a GM as a result of his superb bug-testing and documentation.

so the bfr is still on the map?
and it is possible to get into the hangar and see it?

where is it located? and do i need to exploit bugs to enter, or is it public now?

It's over between NS something or rather and Howling Pass checkpoint. (The NS base is to the right of Mao and North of HPC)

Yes.
and
Yes.

He's showing off an exploitable bug for object collision and you'll notice the faction of players in the screen shots as well as their locations.


Normal people get banned for this stuff, not sure how they have managed to not get banned. (Assuming they were showing dev's, at least I hope so)

Yes, you need to exploit a bug to get there. No, the bug is not publicly known. Yes, I passed the full reproduction steps to the devs via several reporting routes. No, I will not provide any details to anyone unauthorized.

As for why we didn't get banned: We did not take advantage of it. Playing around with these bugs had 3 reasons: finding repro steps (done), getting SOE's attention (hell yeah, done), and fun (enough is enough, done). We did not do any of this for xp, for harming other players (regardless of faction). I'm a White-Hat ;] (Btw, devs and admins rarely understand the concept of white-hatting. Nice to see SOE as an exception in this matter)

[Shogun]

ah ok.

thought it may be possible to visit the bfr without exploiting now.

but it was obvious that the ones who rape the hangar and (anal-?)probe the poor little bfr had to be dressed in purple spandex ;)

but it is great to know, soe is working with some white-hats! it´s the only way to keep cheating under control.
i often play betas and try to use the white-hat concept during this. but i am no hacker at all, i just try to find ways to exploit anything to make the devs close the holes before release. but in ps2 i didn´t find any evil reproducable exploits.

Proof the dirty TR commies and the flakey Vanu scum are making nicey, nice glamour shots and are working together...ya'll mad bros...bro-yolos???

Yes, all of these anomalies were well-documented and reported. We were accused of exploiting, but the first time we infiltrated enemy warpgates was during double xp weekend. So quite the opposite of exploiting, we were wasting our time having fun and documenting "anomalies". We never used any of it to get more xp or kills, or harm the enemy. Just a party.
