    Its not just that. Its that players can use the QA server to find vulnerabilities without reporting them and then take advantage when the bugs go live. While the QA server gives players the ability to test and report for the better of the game and its population, it also allows people to find ways to exploit the systems before the latest release goes live.

    Haha, like half this stuff actually makes it onto QA in time for us to test. You're funny.

    Ive been working on making lich totems since they came out, and I am finally at the point where I can make a lvl 5 totem. To make a lvl 6 legitimately is still a few months off for me. If they stay around, I will be a little...more than a little disappointed.

    Well you still might be disappointed still sounds like they are lowering the recipe for 5 and 6 to require only 2 of the previous totems.

    There should have been some kind of server roll back, but it's too late now to do so, but they sure need to fix this.

    It is clearly a bug exploit from those who made some to sell...

    All those lich totems needs to be converted back to essences.

    The fact that people have gotten away with exploiting in the past isn't an excuse for players knowingly exploiting bugs now. Sure, devs have made a lot of mistakes handling these sorts of things, but people are still responsible for their own actions, and it's really sad to see so many people that are well respected within the community defending this kind of garbage. I can sympathize with people not wanting to call out any of their own friends on a public forum, but that's different than making excuses for behavior that's clearly harmful to the game and to other players.

    I'm not trying to single anyone out, but this has to be hands down the saddest thread I've ever seen here. People are always talking about how great the community is in this game. It doesn't look very great to me right now.

    I dont see why people are making such a huge case of this.. lol
    The coto from log cabin was way worse than this, portalarium lost money with it. Totem nope, players lost pixels. (Thats probably why y'all are so hurt ;p)
    Personally i think its too late and we should just forget about having those level 6 totem to be rare. There will be more kind of totem anyway, and all of you should be fed up of lich already with UT. ;p

    On the good part, the throne hall is still rare. Still need it to place those totem! ;p

    It's a problem because people were apparently selling them for real money. However, people who bought the bogus totems should have stopped to think about it for a minute. It takes 409600 lich essences to craft a tier 6 totem. Do you really think that it's possible to collect that many since Thursday?

    I thought it took 4 totems to make the next tier?
    Oh yeah, my mistake.

    400 = Tier 2
    1600 = Tier 3
    6400 = Tier 4
    25600 = Tier 5

    Exploiting bugs on patch day is sadly the norm in sota. I remember when masterworking showed up ingame, .Alot of you are running today with GM tailor because you could masterwork leather glove with out using ressource for a few days.

    I didn't know you could salvage books. Then again, it never occurred to me. I GM'd tailoring by salvaging dirty, ragged and worn clothing.
