Hi
I found a bug that results in a loss of ladder points.
I was seraching for an opponent in Multiplayer area (clicked that battle button so that game would give me random opponent). While waiting, game displayed me the exact animation which happens after you win/loose a PvP battle. (E.g. screen went black and came back, while i was still in "searching for opponent" mode.)
Since i keep track on my ladder points, i discovered that i had lost 452 ladder points due to that.
Here's a screenshot made briefly before i started searching:
And here's a screenshot that shows my current ladder points:
So, i went on investigating what has happened during that screen fadeout. What i found was troubling. I had a battle with "oliwier666" where i quit the battle.
The reality is, i never saw that battle.
I also have a recording of replay that shows that match:
http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=t02fyx&s=8#.UvQXSvuNbMoEven though the match is short, many things can be seen from that video.
1. oliwier666 level icon shows that he is lvl13 player.
2. as far as i know, nobody can't have any lvl30 items when player level isn't lvl30. Even though, somehow he has lvl30 legs.
3. one of the latest game updates made the game so that whoever goes 1st, he only has 1 Action Point. In my replay, it's seen he has 2 Action Points from start.
4. from my replay pool, it's seen that match had 4 turns but the actual replay shows only 2 turns. 4 turns is only possible when he went 1st, skipped his turn, i got timeout, then he attacked and i quit. But why the replay doesn't show those first turns? Replay only shows when he attacks.
What i've concluded from this is that i think "oliwier666" is a cheater. And a quite good one, masking his cheating pretty well.
A while back, one time, i also had this screen blackout and fade in during the search but then i didn't make much of it. But this time i did noticed it and went on looking what happened to my ladder points.
Just for refrence, if you look my 1st screenshot then from there you can see that i defeated EagleStrike and gained 45 points. From my video, replay with EagleStrike is the last one before that replay with this cheater.
Oh, if anyone is interested, you can search me up in the game to see that replay for yourself. I'm in a weekly top10 (currently 7th).
I hope i provided enough proof for devs to investigate it further and fix this bug that enables him to exploit the game in a such manner.
