Re: Hero Duplication Glitch / Bug
@A_Bugs_Iife I’ve been into video games since the late 80’s, I’ve seen a thing or two as it pertains to game design & development.
This glitch works because players are able to exploit making a character choice before the game can recognize which characters are active in the session. By changing the order of code execution within the game the Devs can make it so that the game makes the identification process occur before the player can make any selections. There are other options as well but this seems to be the easiest.
There are a lot of game impacting bugs that have been around since the beginning that the Devs haven’t even spoken about let alone fixed. When they don’t even acknowledge constant player reports of bugs it makes one wonder whether they care. Some items could be resolved simply by removing a feature or mechanic yet they’ve left it broken.
Microsoft would, at one point, levy bans on players who partook in significant exploits or ones that had Dev backing (see GTA money glitches) but that was some time ago. Now that Microsoft is is more online oriented with their business they’re not likely to ban anyone; especially if they don’t have evidence of the exploit and you don’t have a method to provide attachments to a player report so good luck with that anymore.
