Don Exyle reports a game breaking bug.

I was playing around with the new game Drug Wars this morning when I encountered a major game breaking bug.

I basically figured out how to get (infinite) resources for free.

I did some tries to figure out if I was right (I created around 100k drugs, alcohol and weapons in 20 minutes) and then in totally non Drug Lord fashion I sent @hightouch a message about my findings.

After he dove into the code he found the bug that was causing it and fixed it straight away.

Crisis averted.

I asked if he wanted to have the resources back but as a thank you he let me keep my 'stolen' resources.

That was nice of him, I bought a couple of buildings with them.

That is the way it works in the drug game.
Finders keepers. :)

I wonder if other people exploited that bug? I'm too busy playing Steem Monsters to have another game on the go. I have tried Dug Wars but I think I'll just have a small habit.

You are already finding loop holes and other systems to cheat the system ahaha... I need to check out that game, it seems everyone is playing it, my main problem is that I've heard the game is very pay2win... What is your opinion about how much of a pay2win it is?

Paying increases your drug production and it increases the daily pool of Steem to win. The more drugs you produce the more you get from the pool.

You can produce drugs without paying. It's just not a lot at the start.

I doubt the game will be very profitable for any player. Then again it's a game and you pay for fun.

It sounds a lot like a pyramid scheme that will fall when the hype stops... Let's wait and see... I'm giving it a try now, but from what I've seen so far it's not fully exploring the possibilities that a blockchain provides, the only game I've seen that explores very deeply the way a blockchain should be used is Steemmonsters.

I need to give EOSknights a try, i've heard great things about it, but never actually tried it...

I do prefer the collectable cards we can get with Steem Monsters. If there was some collectable art we could rob in the drugs game, it might be more interesting.

I agree... I haven't played the game enough to make a really good input, but maybe get a sort of "drug generals cards" that gives boosts to attackers or defenders and that you can trade with other players...

Well done Exyle. You deserve the bounty!

This type of game is definitely a winner format, and I'm expecting to have a great time with the game, spending some hours on it :D

Let the bugs be fixed!!

Worst druglord ever!! 😀

I wonder how many other people were taking advantage of the bug before he had a chance to fix it and they just never told him. Kudos to you for doing the right thing. Perhaps some normalization needs to be done now though to make up for others that were taking advantage vs. those of us that were playing properly.

What level are you in the game? I am producing right now 200k 👌🏼

The Godfathers always start out as friendly people ... but then, little "favours" like the one you mention above start to go to your head ...

Good find though ... a lesser player would have continued to exploit it ...

I imagine more will be found as there already have been bots participating in the game as well to optimize the flows of resources.
