This is the kind of colossal balance bug I’d expect to see hotfix’d within a day or two, tops, but I guess you never really know.
I think it’s hilarious right now (just for the ridiculous possibilities), but if it goes on any longer than that it’ll become a huge problem.
You know? I was already running Nemetown in Snowhai for consistency, power! Unlimited power!
Repeat to yourself, I did not read that, I totally, and honestly, did not read that. Who would write that? That’s like committing a crime, calling the cops and saying “yo this is cool, right?”
Ok, as a person (and not a developer), let me be very explicitly clear (this goes out to any game you’ve ever played, not just Duelyst).
IF SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING AS INTENDED, DO NOT “ABUSE” IT AND RUN THE RISK OF PUNISHMENT
You guys can repeat after me: do not abuse it and run the risk of punishment.
We (the BNEA+CPG partnership as a whole) have been very lenient on how we approach these issues (partially because it affects a relatively small portion of our playerbase, partially because we all make a really tight community) but this is not to say that we won’t ever issue bans, or that people don’t get into trouble.
This is not to say that this mentality will remain the same for current and future issues.
Other company/developers have a strict iron fist when it comes to issues. Depending on the severity of the issues, minor to major actions may be taken.
(Anyone remember when GW permanently banned players for using their npc vendors to get gear?)
MORAL OF THE STORY: If you feel like you have to ask, you probably shouldn’t bother to ask.
And this is why I asked. I didn’t actually know if you guys cared. Because if you didn’t care, then I wasn’t about to go out and run the risk of people running me over because they’re using the glitch and I’m trying to be fair. I would hate that. Since you care, I won’t.
I wasn’t intending to take it to the ladder, but I was considering throwing together a deck to test against a friend in friendly matches (vs. another bug deck) just to see what nonsense we could get up to.
Would it be correct to assume this could also result in punishment, then?
I took it to ladder, it doesn’t feel honorable as the wins are too easy but I was still having fun with it but I will stop now that I know BANdai are tightening up on it.
So if neither of you want this bug to become widespread then why are we continuing this discussion? Hell, @galaxydueler, why didn’t you shunt this obvious unintended bug over to community support in the first place and why haven’t any of the moderators done so yet? It just seems a little odd to me that so many people are treating this like it’s a discoverable meme rather than an actual bug.
To those of you who do see it as a bug and weren’t planning to use it in the first place 
To those who want(ed) to bring this into ladder 
These things are always an arms race with a gaming community.
Typically, developers don’t talk about it to prevent exposure to these bugs so fewer people are aware of it. If people don’t hear about it, they aren’t curious to know how to works and therefore less people would try out bugs/exploits/feature abuse (can’t do something you don’t know existed, right?)
It’s just like when we ominously mentioned the issues we were going to address in our first hotfix for 1.95
In turn, people don’t know if we know, so they make posts to inform us (and others) about the issue. (And thus you can see our issue/cycle)
Alright, let’s play everyomes favorite game!
Must or dust!

Please vote responsibly.
I’m still confused as to why this was/is still categorized as a general topic. General topics attract more attention vs community support/bug report topics.
As I undertsand it,
more views on bugs = bad
While
Less views on bugs = good (?)
Please correct me if I’m misunderstanding something
P.s: I also find it fairly frustrating that I can’t click links set in spoilers
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Fair point, the thread was originally posted in #General and I just wanted to talk to you guys about it.
Anywho, hotfix is coming for this, the engineers are working as fast they can (hoping to deploy within 48 hours? We’ll see)
I’ll admit that I did throw Wanderer into my Hyperswarm deck and run over a couple people with it, but since seeing this thread I’m going to give it a miss for sure. It certainly feels very cheap and it’s more enjoyable to win through skill than through abusing a bug/glitch anyway.
Pic related is the results of this abomination. I’m glad to read that we can expect a fix in 48 hours because this is just evil 
Dooly software engineers:
Apologies, my steves. I realize now I probably should have pm’d a mod about this instead of making a thread.If I find a bug like this again I’ll try and keep it quiet…
Sorry for making this well known
It was Kolos who made it well known, what’s said on forums stays on forums, what’s said on reddit spread like wildfire.
Us forumgoers are like a tight knit duelyst family that dont know each other at all.
…what are you saying?!
I…just can’t believe you’d say that!
I’m so upset right now…I thought we were brothers…
…fine. I’ll just see myself out of your life now. 
Ah, finally moved to community support, I see… 
No problem my dude(s), just something to keep in mind for all gaming communities
Kind of like that saying “be the change you want to see” - if you find something you don’t like and no one knows about it, maybe best not to bring it up to the public 
Like a certain someone creating a DDOS deck, if you don’t make it and/or don’t share it, no one plays it!
