New 2 billion HP exploit

There’s a new exploit people are abusing to gain over 2 billion HP in the open world. Allegedly has something to do with timewalking or the lunar festival event.

Please fix and ban the ones exploiting this for gameplay advantage.

Edit: Someone posted the cause:

And we have someone in this thread admitting to abusing the exploit in PvP. Please pay attention, Blizzard.

I don’t know about “exploit”, since I don’t think there’s anything you can do to make it happen or prevent it from happening.

If you flag yourself and bait someone into attacking you, that can be teported as cheating.

Jesus

Indeed, certainly not someone in-thread who tut-tuts unintended mechanics like follower queue escaping.

That person would be an obvious hypocrite.

I know right? There was some Vulpera monk, I think Punchfox or Fistfox, I forgot exactly, who would always follower dungeon any time they were about to die. Was annoying as heck.

Lies and deflection and exploiting, as usual.

Sometimes. I don’t deny it. Follower dungeons are lame though and get rid of buffs. No thank you >.<

From what I have seen this is caused by logging out with the buff granted by the firework which is supposed to give +5 stamina normally (Lucky Rocket Cluster) - but if you log out or disconnect with the buff you will get billions of HP. In my instance it gave me 10.5b hp. Simply right clicking the buff removed the hp and returned me to normal.

Right click the buff off to remove the bug. Do not abuse it. Don’t get yourself banned for foolish reasons.

This user also experienced something similar. For some reason i have insane stamina

Again, if you encounter this bug simply right click the festival firework +5 stamina buff off of you and go about your gameplay per usual - don’t abuse it and get yourself reported as well as possible punishments on your account for exploiting.

I just logged in on my priest and have 2.1 billion health. I have the lunar fortune buff.

I’m having what appears to be a related issue on my level 17 Mechagnome Death Knight. He had the Lucky Rocket Cluster buff, partysynced with a level 71, and somehow ended up with 1 HP some time later. I died attempting to fight a mob thinking my health was just a UI bug. Death removed the buff but I was still stuck with 1 HP. I left party and rejoined, with no change. Also reloaded the UI with no change.

What seemed to finally fix the problem was logging out and back in. My HP was still at 1 but my max HP returned to normal and started regenerating.

Nah it didn’t go over my head. I just don’t like people who cheat/exploit the system to their advantage, and then use that advantage for personal gain.

I’m sure you don’t care either way though. It’s all good. have fun doin your thing, for now.

Bro you literally queue sync for random bgs :skull:

It’s just a goofy little bug for some wacky WPvP fun. Not like anyone doing this is gaining any rating. Things like this don’t happen often and are usually hotfixed within 24 hours anyway. Not everything has to be taken so seriously

hahahaha sync que. good one. Have any proof? Ya don’t because I don’t do it. my winrates are all 50% and under, just as it should be. You’re literally just making things up to save yourself.

It’s not fun to me when someone cheats in online games. I’m sure you’re a decent person irl but nah man, sorry. Trying to kill a bounty in world pvp when they’re exploiting the system, and then laughing at me in game, isn’t fun to me. Maybe to you.
