Follow Bug Abuse?

no you port back home from one of the buildings in the city

How, exactly, would one triangulate with this without having the target's cooperation?

I would imagine having several people right click on the target and have them port home, while one remains in Boston who tells the other people when the target has ported off himself. The other people can then click "follow" on their still opened flower menu and get a direction.

See somebody in town, and right click them and port to your home with a hotkey while the flower menu is opening. You will be at your homestead with the open flower menu on that character. 1 person in boston, and 2-3 people at their homesteads will give you very accurate location of the victim.

Also, there is another way that doesnt require any triangulation. The client keeps 'follow' coordinates stored in the client. These coordinates randomize upon porting, but if you dont port you can just follow the coordinates.

As you can see, this is obviously a flowermenu exploit that is currently being abused. Happy Hunting.

I'll move this to Bugs and Technicalites.

I love those glorious flower menus and I'll not have you bad-mouthing them good sir.

Some people are only found using this bug (when they wouldn't have been otherwise without scouring the entire land) and I think that's unfair. Therefore, it should be fixed somehow. Just my two cents.

PS what is a flower menu?

[Ornery]

When you right click something, the radial that pops up is the 'Flower Menu'

k thanks, lol lingo and tech I'm not so good with.

I like to call it the 'radial menu' because I think flower menu sounds kinda gay.
