I will be posting this in all available thread as well as in its own, with an email to the devs.

I've never seen anything like this. I have reason to believe it's possible to create such a connection state and actually freeze the opponent to attack units when vulnerable.... vulnerable meaning THEY DO NOT FIGHT BACK.

I know this is extreme. I wouldn't say this if it didn't happen to me. I somehow managed to win because the process involves bringing the lag screen for both parties, thus it killed his connection first before mine. So over abuse of this will end the game, but it appeared to be very controlled.

Here's the replay for demonstration. The first encounter is between my second sword and his one sword. Mind what happens from then on out.

Here's what it looks like from my end. I was only able to record the last segment, as I didn't quite catch on what was really happening the first time. The replay gives a better example to what he was doing.

If anyone has experienced something like above with this user or another, please share here. I really don't know what to make of it, but it looks VERY controllable.

EDIT: Apparently a big glitch, not a bug getting abused. Server reset now.

I had some glitch a few days back when the game suddenly froze and my Spearton kept attacking the enemy's unit while it wasn't fighting back.. I thought the game just froze so I quit.

I think I have fought him before but that did not happen to me he actually said I was lagging^^

Wow, that is a pretty bad exploit.

Wow Im surprised that he managed to do that without making the game OOS. unless I misunderstand this whole hacking thing :/

This too, does the game not realize that one person's swordwrath is just sitting there like an idiot?

Well actually apparantly this is pretty common now after the update. common as in every 3rd match or so. And it is not an exploit as it is happening to pretty much everyone.

Well I'm going to send a strongly coded letter to his computer to urge it to rebel against its owner!
lol jk :P

Hey guys we have reverted to the last patch for now so you can still play while we take a look at what is causing this. We should have a new version up tomorrow but in the mean time there should be no other problems. Thanks and enjoy! i'll see you online

Thanks CJ. I'm not as convinced as it being intentional now (although it sure seemed it!) as it happened to several other players and with the AI, but I hope it's resolved soon.

It just like, one side's time is froze but the other one can still move

Man, it was an elite swordwrath, killing 2 Wyzdm's swordwraths lol

P.S. you sure he hacks? He "pretended" dunno what was happening?

actually.....I never faced an exploiter who exploit when we have match.....exception dragon88...
