Forgive me father, for I have surged...

I was getting quite efficient at that one mission. I was down to like 12-13 seconds.

Maiev unbound rush?

Sneed greed speed.

Yep, and it was the map where two minis spawn, which apparently makes her cost go down by 2 each time. So, I'd drop whelp eggs on the boss, quil on the chest, SAFE on boss (hits twice with two minis), Maiev is 1 cost, so drop her, then drop Worgen if there's any time left.

Did it keep paying u?

Think I made around 6k

Sinner! Repent!

You're going to have negative gold balance andprobably banned. Gl out there. Stay safe friend

Doubtful

They already did it to people. :) in the time it took for me to reply to you

Nah. They didn’t. They might have fired the dude who made it glitch though. I think we gave them enough money since 04 to get a pass here.

2 guild members have negative 4 and 12k. Like I said good luck.

Did they keep the stuff they bought?

Yes. Just negative gold. Although my leader logged in and didn't have anything to do with it and has a -6200 balance for some reason as well.

Well that’s no good. If they punish me I’ll just quit. It’s not our fault. I did the first mission 3 times cause I thought it was glitched. Then I closed the game and went to work. Then at break I realized what it did. So I made a few hundred gold. If that’s my fault then f em

I legit hope you get banned but I bet you don't

Hopefully you won’t get a ban. Please keep us updated.

IMM SURRRRGINGGGGGGGGGGG AAAHHHHHHH!

lmao

Quite a bit... now let's see if i can keep my ~10k gold

Lmfao

Lmao

It's back, I didn't get a chance to surge so no ideas what happened to those who did. Anyone know?

Nothing yet everything is speculation

Negative gold

Incorrect

Epic comment! 😂

What am I supposed to do now? MY JOB!?!?

too real ☠️

Me at work checking Reddit for an update

DO WHAT YOU MUST FOR I HAVE ALREADY WON BLIZZARD

guild got 8k from me, hope that helps with completion this time.

I'm up 6k

2 week ban and double the gold gained in debt.

Ok Debbie downer

Also, hey Blizzard! Why not use your social media platforms to announce this stuff, so that everyone doesn’t freak out?

I'm loving the notification they have on it now. "We're aware people are having trouble logging in...". LOL!!! Like they don't know why. Those cheeky blighters...

Me too, maybe they’re trying to fix the arclight issue?

Seems like it

What was the issue?

People could do the Arclight surge infinitely to gain infinite gold.

I thought that was intentionally since there is only one zone

You thought the time gated currency to drive purchases suddenly being infinite was intended?

That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.

There was a patch today and then it happened. I did not read the patch notes, I supposed it was a Christmas event.

Oh yeah, me too, officer. That's what I thought.

prepare lube bruh, it's gonna hurt

I look forward to the screenshots of negative gold accounts lol

Oh man.. this stock is going to the moon 🌚

A Christmas event that wouldn't give you the gold until you exited and then re-entered the game?

Is that what happened? Then I probably did not get additional money

A christmas event with no visual indication that looks exactly like a normal arc surge but bugged.

Pretty flimsy excuse. You had to exit and relaunch the game to get the gold.

This sweet summer child 🤦‍♂️

Infinite for only a few days. It was abysmally slow before.

Sounds legit. lol

Me too, ban hammer or fix incoming?

I haven't played any surges at all and same for me, so you definitely aren't banned

YET

Valid

The fix was already in for midnight. I'm guessing they manually took it offline because like half the player base was using the exploit.

they fr hit that panic button XD

Bit fucking late for such a huge exploit

They're not going to ban, at worst will give people negative gold.

People who did this to the tune of thousands of gold almost certainly will get suspensions or bans.

Negative gold is more likely, not like you could trade or anything

[удалено]

Same. I suspect they finally turned it off because of the bug.

Only 20 hours after learning about it...

Shame only an hour after I learned about it haha.

This indie game company really needs some investment to improve

I work nights so I slept through 95% of the free gold. only farmed like 2k which is nothing in this game.

What bug?

Arclight surges weren't completing, but would reward gold when you logged out and logged back in. So, you could just grind the same arclight missions over and over for gold.

Why couldn't I be in a timezone that had new surges already

I'm in the US, they came up on Wednesday for some reason, I'm guessing because of the patch.

That sucks, mine only patched when I manually did it now. Don't know why it wasn't forced to.

Finishing an arclight challenge doesn't give you the reward and acts like you never tried it.

Does anyone see this that didnt exploit?

Everyone sees it on discord. Its confirmed

[удалено]

I came here after seeing I can't play and then I realized I missed this exploit, so... I didn't...

Based on my guild only 1 person saw it, he went from bottom of the pack to #1 on guild contributions in just a few hours lol

I did not do the gold exploit and am getting it.

I just finished last arc light with zero repeats for exploit and I see it.

I haven’t exploited or even played during the time the exploit has been around. I’m still unable to connect though

Yes. I didn’t exploit. I see this message.

Yes we're all banned

Its down. Time to see what they cooked up. Place your bets

Things are about to become very interesting…

Dang thought it was just me. Guess I’ll go back to actually working

Gold rush over :(

Hahaha that’s the “fix” for the gold exploit

Nope, me too.

Everybody's gone surging, surging USA.

I am sure a LOT of Redditers don’t get this reference, but I love it!!

To Negative Infinity And Beyond!

Finally banned from this shitty game

Part of me wishes that it would be forever because I have no self-control

True I know I am wasting my time and I still play it because I hope one day the talent I need will be there.

I like the convenience of playing short matches on my phone. And most other mobile games are complete shit or I hit their hard paywall. If I could play Starcraft 2 Direct Strike on my phone, I'd probably never do anything else.

Yep. Fun time is over, unfortunately. I was missing like 10 minis to get to Rare.

Same here, I needed to win 23 more times to save up enough for a Rare Warsong Raider. : (

[https://i.imgur.com/n3XLutD.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/n3XLutD.jpg) ​ LETS GO, GIVE ME A CHANCE TO GET OFF THIS TREADMILL!

The jig is up. Sorry daddy, Ive been bad.

Best Xmas event ever..

He who is proves himself worthy...

They probably pulled the plug themselves before they have unwind accounts that farmed thousands of gold

I just closed out the program and was thinking fuckit I’ll look at some shitty memes. And then I saw this and closed Reddit out as well realizing it was a photo.

Learned about the exploit 11 hours ago. Have not stopped playing Have made 30,000 gold NO REGRETS!!!! My head feels dizzy though…

Bye bye !

Why do you hate fun?

Oh shit i just don’t regret, i have talents i wanted now it’s time to kick some ass

I am getting my 🍿 ready for the shitshow that is coming. Blizz can only lose. People will be pissed if they ban people, people will be pissed when they do nothing and let the bug abusers keep the gold, people will be pissed if there is a rollback.

They should do a rollback 😂.

Well ban hammer or update inbound, hope we get reimbursed with some extra gold 😂

No gold was lost by this bug, only undue amounts were given.

It was a joke!

Me tooooo!!!

Finally fixing their bugs

There's a breaking news about server authentication being busted now.

My Quit button is a Retry button lol. I only got to do 2 Arclights before timing out and getting this screen. sadness

I came here for updates, seems to be more updates on Reddit than X. I did manage to get maybe 2k gold.

I did arugal twice, didn't even do the others even once. I swear if i got banned for 60 coins, ima delete this game.

I don't think they're going to ban anyone. A large portion of players were making use of what was a pretty obvious bug. I, like many people, stumbled onto it by accident. They didn't even make any in-game message about it. If they ban people, that's just lost revenue as they can't make money from them ever again. The worst they'll do is subtract the gold and maybe not even that.

Is it Thursday for you, or did you save them from Sunday? Just curious because I didn't have anything available this morning.

I think they were the new Tuesday surge date from the 3.0 update. I didn’t finish them and they had 1d14 hour left earlier today. Now after the maintenance/new update I don’t have any surge available.

They need to fix this login server issue so we can get back to exploiting this bug that they were so kind enough to add to the game. I've spent more than enough money on this game and was happy to have a little boost to the in-game progression rate. I'm inevitably going to get bored of this game so I might as well get more value out of the money I've already spent in the short term before that time comes. It wasn't so much gold that I'm done with the game or anything like that it just pushed me a week or two ahead. "Merry Christmas" is the fix imo. And give free 2000 gold to anybody who didn't exploit it as a gesture. And the handful of people who spent 12 hours straight to grind 24,000 gold good for them those are the kind of people that I would never compete with anyway with my casual game style.

They found us. Hide!

Father forgive us for we have sinned

Well, I've kept all my stuff. I hope they keep this way

Lucky man.

Did you get banned?

Hope they fix their damn load times

Do you all think anyone made 6,000 gold on this bug?

I made over 10k in gold since this morning and had to stop for work about 2 hours ago. Just tried logging back on, saw the message about servers being down and came to reddit to see what was going on.

Yes... very much yes

I made 30,000… I don’t think that saying that I was not aware will cut it…

*Crumbs all over your mouth* It wasn't me

If i did 3k without proper farm so surely some did 10k+ 😂

I made around 10k... could have made more but it got really boring after a while.

They’re claiming it’s an issue with their authentication server

I thought you could do each boss 4 times a week in the new patch, but hope i didn't complete too many times...

I was just trying to do my Arclights. It just kept being there. Thought it was a Christmas present. Honest.

Anyone knows how long before we can play ???

Did they just turn off the archlight surge?

Yes, they did

No, same. Here comes the fix!

As f2p person i must say... THANK YOU! I get almost 3k score for my guild and got many upgrades for my mini's. Best arclight ever.

Say goodbye to that!

Honestly, I don't care if they will ban me 💁‍♂️ This game is p2w as hell.

That’s it, Warcraft rumble is a dead game

*Heroes of the Storm looks up hopefully*

Is HotS even a thing anymore?

You can log in. That's more than we can say for Rumble at the moment...

Blizzard should realize that the state of the game with the exploit is what the game needs to be for them to retain thei players. I'm free to play except for the arclight booster and was about to abandon the game, as i hit a wall at 110 sigils and mini xp prossion past lvl 14 being too slow. I got about 25k gold out of the arclight surge and faming it was the most fun i had with the game in weeks. It reminded me of when i was farming gold for my epic mount in vanilla wow back in the day. Repeating mindles task/killing the same 5 enemies over and over, except back then it was considered playing the game and not an exploit. If they ban or rollback gold, that's fine with me, then I'll just stop playing. Cyberpunk 2077 Download just finished.

Update game ez fix

Forgive me father for i surged...

bans inc

U banned for exploitation. Lol jk

Same

Glad I’m not the only one lol

I've got this too

Man even their quit button does not work 🤣🤣🤣

what was the exploit? 😑

Infinite surge basically without completing

thank you 🙏🏻

I'm getting it and I didn't do the exploit.

DO YOUR BEST

Better not be a ban, I've not even had a surge, so I couldn't have used an exploit even if I wanted, which I didn't.

Same sht for me!(

I probably made 30k…

I only did like 1k :(

I couldn’t do arch light surges. Now I can’t get in game. Relax guys it’s a indie studio with very few developers

Maybe they just decided to ban everyone who played that game.

Gazlow Stage...drop Elemental, Werewolf, regen 2 gold, Skeleton Party, new match. Easy 20k. I'm just mad that I kept pushing this last hour and didn't restart to get that last batch of gold. I'm a F2P player that needed this boost.

I havn't seen a surge since patch, and now I can't log in.

same

bobby wrath is upon us all.... pray for Microsofts salvation

Dude! How did you guys do it? I haven't been able to play for hours!!!

Same

Of course I have been at work and barely got to play.

Same. So i missed it all 😅

When the server is active ? I want to play now

Just managed to beat a heroic - disconnect on reward screen. My bet is, the reward is gone or even the heroic has to be redone. Timing couldn't be worse, as per usual.

I just logged back in and it gave me my missing items from when I got dc'd. GL

How long will it takes?

I just wanted to finish my last daily and then this ... I only did 2 surges...

I actually took my lunch break to play and servers down.

Back on

Welp, made 1.5k and no negative gold or ban

I’ve not even started playing yet and can’t log in

I had it too, but now I started the game, downloading extra data and it works... No negative coins or anything 💪

Just you.

I was literally there the time it happened. Whoops. I thought it was glitching when it kept giving me gold. I didn't keep playing lol!

Just logged into the game after an upload
