I was in the mood for some blitz tonight and I just hopped onto a server. There was one other person there. I thought "hey, blitz sucks alone. I'll help him out" Fast forward to class selection screen. "That's odd, the other person hasn't picked yet, but I can see bots swarming around the moneyball on the overhead map." Whatever, I choose my class and run in. ROUND 507! Bots rush the ball, defenseless without any turrets. It drops in 5 seconds and the game ends. I realize what's going on. "Oh crap, this is gonna overwrite my record". So I quit just as the post-game scoreboard is popping up, hoping it won't save the data. It saves the data. So now it overwrites my previous record of 203 (which I was quite proud of), and now I'm stuck at the top of the leaderboards with a score I obviously didn't achieve fairly. I'm sure Uber is aware of the bug where if players don't pick a class the only bots that spawn can't hurt the moneyball. There should be a change that doesn't allow the game to start until players have actually spawned. As a lower priority, it would be nice to have some way for players to reset specific stats from the leaderboards and start fresh. tl;dr Fix idle blitz exploit.
Ow, that sucks. I hope uber can revert that (of course they can... right?) before people assume you intentionally cheated your way to the top.
Just so I can say I did.... We could've kept going but my supports apparently got bored and stopped hacking things. Also yes, that says 83 Jackbot kills
Playing solo blitz as a sin got boring after about 250 waves. I stopped attacking anything that wasn't a jackbot and then around wave 293 went for a bike ride outside. That does seem like a slightly annoying exploit - though i don't know what purpose it serves - there's not much to do in blitz except have lv3 rockit turrets EVERYWHERE, some shaveice, and then occasionally kill some jackbots. It needs something... more.
