Yeah, I posted that in another thread. Looks like they only closed the doors. Didn't remove any of the scripts or whatever. Fun, fun.

I just wanted to sign in to see if they ninja'd in Arms Dealer >.> Now I'm gonna sign off though. Here's to hoping they catch this early on so maybe they won't decide to rollback.

Someone on the Sega side has to know now. (Or at least we can hope they catch it, bring down the servers and do a QUICK patch to remove it....Here's to hoping!

It's not like anyone's losing anything so I don't see a reason to rollback.

It's been fixed; the glitch people have been "teaching" doesn't appear to work anymore, and a character I had in the event lobby from last night was only allowed to return to Cylez 3rd floor when I logged back in.

Since the door is still locked I assume this is users accessing the room through the glitch method -- while it was harmless when the event area was empty, I'm going to ask users not to glitch into the area now, and this isn't something we want to have to start enforcing.

I'll post an update on this as soon as I know the plans for fixing it

And no, this doesn't warrant a rollback.

Sounds as though this'll be fixed with a ninja update at some point in time.

At least with the mention of no rollback it feels safe to play tonight.

Oh God. This is disgusting. They are ASKING people not to glitch in there or else they will start "enforcing"....WoOoOoOoOoO!!!

This is what is going to happen: People will continue to glitch in and run these missions, given that there is still some good stuff to be had...in fact, even more will do it now that it's "forbidden". Weeks from now, it will become a huge problem and....ROLLBACK AHOY!!!

Mar 6, 2009, 12:51 PM
i thought this was funny and deserved a topic. someone called killbot was adveritsing to sell the glitch into the carnival for 5k right in front of edward.

he dissapeard and wont be comming back :O

of all places. in front of a GM hahaahahaha

Edward's problem is that killbot was selling the glitch.

From what both Edward and Clumsy and have said, entering the event area will not result in a ban. Which is basically saying "go ahead, enjoy it while it lasts". So in all likelihood this glitch will be ninja-fixed, eventually. ST may be too busy with the GM event to fix this today, tomorrow perhaps?

Actually I think Clumsy was referring to the PSP event day... not the fact that the Winter Carnival is still accessible.

At what point does the bungling of this game by SEGA cease to be "a string of bad luck" and become "errors brought on by incompetence"??? Everybody will realize it's the latter sooner or later. You can't keep giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I agree its sega fuckin up, I just play and Dont concern myself with this crap, i do my solo runs and look for rares.

besides im a huge fan of sega so i try not to piss on them too much.

Mar 6, 2009, 04:06 PM
edward just said:


Just an update:

We have raised the issue with Sonic Team and we'll fix it as soon as we can (though likely not today, since the PSP event will be gong on all day).

To reiterate: no one is going to get banned for being in/playing in the event area, and there will be no rollback -- it was (again) our mistake, so really, enjoy the extra Carnival time!

Please don't try to sell the glitch. That's just unethical and silly.

Swiftstrike
Mar 6, 2009, 04:08 PM
I like to defend Sega, but this is much too retarded. You would think that Sega would REMOVE the event or at least access to it, not just lock an obviously glitchable door.

Vickie
Mar 6, 2009, 04:18 PM
Well psu IS gettin kinda old and its Dying im just greatful that theyre still doing events and shit, im sure its a hell of alot bigger in japan and they gotta take care o that community, only thing i wish they would do is find a way to merge us and Japan into one Community. i understand for them its business first.

then again a merge like that would probably be hard to do
i also drool at the thought of them maybe givin acrofighers S rank cards, doubt it would ever happen tho
Kaza-kikami and Shura hiken together would be a sight to see

But what good is it to get in there?
Do all the things still work, like getting spheres and being able to exchange stuff for tickets? All those missions seem like a lot to 'have to keep on working' even though they're supposed to be gone. Did anyone get in there to see if any unused tix were still there? Can you still trade in your spheres? Does this mean that we can get a second chance at a Yasha by cramming ourselves through the door?

I looked it up on PSUpedia after seeing one drop and not having it go to me (and then the event ended) but it looks like there's no other way to get this, if you missed it on the carnival. (seriously dissapointing!) If wedging someone in the door is legit enough for the official boards...this could be the golden opportunity for the unlucky people!

Ruru
Mar 7, 2009, 04:15 AM
if they're going to just leave it in there they might as well keep the doors open. maybe lower or change the drop rates and keep it as a normal mission or something. no use letting something like that take up space if you cant "officially" use it.

I did the winter lobby glitch and it worked going to the clothing room. LoL (just wanted to tr it out) i guess it can work anywhere besides makeover?
I did just a quick in and out. and not wake 5 seconds.and it worked.
(with with somone in my party standing at the event door)

Incase anyone hasn't noticed yet (and no, I'm not reading an 8 page thread), if you use the Universe change cubes in the Event Area, you'll move Universe, but get thrown out to the 3rd floor again.

Here's hoping Event Area is closed soon, I can't stand more nights of Charged Puzzle

yes. that's why I have been AFK in the lobby somtimes to do other things..LoL. so I wont have to do the glitch over and over. LoL

Mar 7, 2009, 04:11 PM
now i did it the Armor part room. and the glitched still worked. so I guess it's not only the make over room. it can be anyroom?

and it also works when you're in a differ unverse. and then switch to uni 1 or 2 s long as somone is standing there and its; open. =]

I couldnt do the glitch no matter what. Turns out I had the Low Level Of Detail characters set to 0 on the graphics configuration since I didnt want to see ghosts in the distance instead of full characters. Well, that makes you not able to see other players that are too far therefore the door wont open even if people are sitting next to it since they'll only spawn in your screen once you are close to them :P
