MassivelyOP’s not-so-serious end-of-the-year awards continue today with our pick for best worst MMO bug. (If you’re wondering what the heck a Golden Yachtie is, you can get caught up with the first award.)
And the winner is…
THE PUKE ROPE
So there’s a story to this one, and I apologize in advance because yes, it involves puke. Apparently, players in Red Dead Online and RDR2 figured out that if they puked while they were cliff-diving, they could avoid falling damage. So of course, that’s just what they did. I mean, why abuse a bug to inflate your hitpoints or hoard all the gold when you can abuse a bug that lets you puke your way to safety?

A late submission from World of Warcraft with Boss mind controls players and makes them teleport it of the dungeon.

Always spot-on, thank you for early morning laugh 😂
I guess you just can’t help it with that proboscis.
Edit: Which makes no sense thanks to a missing comment.
My SWTOR strongholds frequently being full of random NPCs wearing only their undies.
OK now we need to hear the story behind THIS.
I don’t know about the current state, but SWTOR has had earlier issues showing NPC’s only in their underwear. One of the arcs in The Fallen Empire era had to be restarted if Aric Jorgan showed up in just his boxer-briefs.
It’s a pretty common SWTOR bug.
The intended gameplay element is that your companion NPCs can be placed in player strongholds – a.k.a. player housing – as decos. (Fully clothed.) So far so good.
The bug arises when the game attempts to load the companions that were placed in someone else’s stronghold of the same type into yours. You will see them where the other person placed them, and they can’t be interacted with or removed.
Amusingly, the game loads only their body models, not their armor or gear. Because there is no actual nudity in this game, the base body models are always wearing underwear… but when they load due to this bug, they’re wearing nothing else. :D
