    Embark are in a precarious situation with BurntPeanut using quite a lot that exploit.

    On one hand they shouldn’t let someone expose to thousands of players exploits like that, on the other hand BurntPeanut has definitely helped in making the game more popular…

    I personally think streamers have to abide to the same rules as anybody else so if they used the duplication glitch on stream they should probably get at least a temporary ban.

    I guess we will see.

      Streamers have to be held to the same standards as any other player. I think it’s a good thing when developers and players have dialog but just because a streamer is popular doesn’t mean they are bigger than the game. Embark owes them nothing.

      Influencers in general are a scourge on society, clout landlords.

      Yes. It will take months before the most egregious ones are fixed.

      At least 4 patchs and I still can drop from any 19 meters and below height without taking fall damage.

      I won’t go into details but it’s something that can be done mistakenly it’s not some super complicated exploit with a difficult setup.

      And on the quick use items there is probably hundreds of exploits and bugs that remains to be discovered. I saw someone send a matriarch to space (it litteraly disappeared in the sky) with just a few basic items. That’s someone that can remove a major Arc boss on demand and for cheap.

      That’s the thing, this game is very rich in utility items and that’s amazing but many interactions I think have never been tried out by their QC teams.

      Players did the obvious : “Hey what happens if I put something on the remote flare ? Oh right.”
