Relogging/Server switching shenanigans |

So I decided to experiment how server jumping affected secret areas with some very interesting results. 1) If you refresh the page, and log back in, you will start with full life. (If you are knocked out this does not work, refreshing causes death). 2) If you enter a secret area then change server to one with a different secret area open for that map will result in you being trapped in that secret area (unless you change servers again to one where it is open). 3) If you enter a secret area, get to the end and open the loot box to find something you don't like/want. You can try other servers until you find another one with the same secret area open for a different selection of items. - If you take an item from the end box then change server to get another box, both boxes become bugged and unclickable (I assume until the secret area for those servers change) For example, I was able to head to the south secret area in Oakdale on the en server, which was closed at the time. I kept testing servers until I found that it was open on the Hungarian server. I got to the end (using chocolates resilience bug) and found in the fina bo only "drugs without label" which I didn't touch. I stood by the box and kept jumping servers until I found another one with this secret area open, when I looked in the box it contained a hatchet, fishing rod, and 2 food items. I took the hatchet an fishing rod and left the food. When I returned to Hu I could no longer click on the box. I would recommend making it so that if you disconnect in a secret area, the game should teleport you back to the entrance of the secret area so it is impossible to get trapped with server switches. However this would make it easier to escape secret areas once once the box loot has been collected. I've also left myself disconnected in a secret area to see if I will still be there tomorrow, will update this post with the results. Update (21/01/2016): Logged in and was still in the secret area next to where end box is located. Box wasn't present at first server I tried but by searching through the servers I was able to find a box to loot. Dernière modification le 1484958540000 |

Did some more experimentation and found that switching servers can change the loot of any container. Probably not a problem for most containers as the changed loot won't be worth the effort, but worth worrying about when it comes to secret room boxes (as described above). I was also able to do this to try and find good fishing loot (but failed, as my rods wore out before I found anything more than keyboards and controllers). It could also be used to try and find more durable weaponry on some set items (e.g. Find a red condition fire axe on the floor, change servers until you find a green one to take). I also tried to sneak into out of bounds by standing exactly on the door to a secret area while it was open then switching to an area where it was closed to be inside the door. But this did not work as I was teleported back to the bike upon logging in to the server where the area was closed. |

That's even more interesting, thanks for all the efforts! I'll let you know what we did :) |
