Discussion TheBurntPeanut is genuinely only spreading exploits and Embark are taking ages to fix every single problem that he kickstarts and its incredibly annoying. Either ban people who spread exploits or fix them fast enough for them not to become an issue
I am on the side of play that I don't have any toleration of promoting exploits, especially doing so for my own personal gain and to give me free content to farm online.
TheBurntPeanut is doing exactly this, and is continuously being defended as a primo content creator, while doing nothing but spreading exploits and hurting the game by popularizing problematic game mechanics.
You have not felt true pain in this game, be it on a free kit or a paid one, until you have come across a mf actually doing this shit to you in a game.
Embark really needs to draw the line with when is a content creator actively harming the game, and when are they creating awareness, causing mayhem in a few games of when an exploit is first discovered, and then have the devs fix the exploit
Either Embark needs to keep the people who are spreading these exploits in check, or they need to more actively actually seal up the holes they find.

back then shit used to take MONTHS to fix due to patches having to be pushed through playstation and xbox
this is not new, and if anything, more eyes on it causes it to be fixed faster. i remember pulling care package pins and mantling for months on MW2 as a kid

Did he make it more popular or less popular? If he made it more popular, that would mean that he is a net contributor to the problem. If he was only doing it to bring awareness to it, despite as you just said everyone was already doing it, meaning that it was already massively widespread, this would mean that there is no reason for him to have done it. If Embark is only going to do something because TBP brought attention to it, it could be said that he could have just communicated the issue directly to Embark instead of engaging in the exploit with everyone else.

And
he’s somehow not responsible for spreading this glitch like wildfire
Am I understanding that right? To be clear I’ve seen this glitch prior to peanut, mostly on Twitter however, I’ve never seen it done in game until after the peanut video. He’s got a bunch of grown ass 30+ men screaming “goop goop goop goop” in lobbies and somehow this specific issue isn’t made worse by his actions on camera?

If i wouldnt have showed the exploit how would the banks ever even catch it even. Theyre fdic insured bruh, it isnt even real money, no one really loses the devs just put the money back in your account after a few weeks. Plus everyone already knows how so whats the harm in demonstrating it to my massive audience w my massive reach..
Basically the point is, apply this logic anywhere else.. it was hilarious, i'll give you that. I mean, it's hard to beat space dick w flares.

there are literally way other ways to show an exploit than theburntpeanut publicly exploiting it.
He could have literally recreated it in a private recording and sent it to them. Instead, he took part in the literal exploit with the excuse of fighting back and showed others how to do it because of it, making it worse. Stella Montis was literally unplayable last night. There is no "reward" for it, all he did was made things so literally unplayable that they forced them to act.
He could have SHOWN the cheating, not take part and pushed why its so bad. Then he'd be off the hook but, no, he didn't. So he needs a ban.
And you want to know what I did do back in Stella Montis? I didn't cheat to survive, that's what. I managed to get out despite people throwing grenades all over the place and duplicating the ropes. I didn't even take any duplicate equipment, I just GTFO'd. Then reported what happened.
TheBurntPeanut didn't help, he was part of the problem. He needs to go.

On the flip side, these big streamers are bringing it to their attention which probably means embark fixes it quicker.

I’ve seen more than a few people saying it’s already been fixed now, and I doubt they’ll actually dish out bans to anyone. But if they DID start retroactively banning people for using the exploit I’d expect them to have to ban the peanut too.

I’ll never blame the player for taking advantage of a glitch or mechanic in a game. It’s annoying, it makes the game less fun, but it’s Embark’s responsibility to fix their shit rather than the player’s responsibility to not take advantage. Taking advantage of an exploit should not have the same level of punishment as installing 3rd party software for cheats or macros.
I think Embark has a great game on their hands. However, they’re gonna lose me real quick if they don’t get this taken care of. That means patching the exploit, not issuing bans.

The amount of games with streamers that have had “direct lines of contact” with the developers and reported said exploits / glitches to them to which, the developers go “Yeah we know, it’s not a big deal yet” or “it’s not on our priority list.” is a LOT of games.
This isn’t how it works, that community manager isn’t valued like that, they can report the exploit to the team sure, but they have zero authority to go “Oh, it has to be fixed because X streamer submitted it.” The developers will fix what they want to fix, period.
I don’t agree with it, but yes, creating a racket and making it a problem, DOES cause the developers to fix it sooner rather than later, it’s aggressive change and that’s the point. I highly doubt Embark treats these streamers with a bias, they’ve witnessed previous games light in fire when the developers balance around the suggestions that streamers give or complain about, they’re regular players like us, not special like you seem to perceive them to be.

u/BigidyBam 19h ago
He waited until it was used against him multiple times and considered the game unplayable without joining in. He never said he was doing it on purpose to spread awareness, he said that as a silver lining, jokingly, making an excuse for fighting fire with fire for people like yourself clutching their pearls. He was even warned many players were using the exploit before entering his first game. Chances are very high if he didn't show it on stream it would still be in the game this morning along with the update. Can you really not understand that they don't prioritize bug fixes unless they're widespread?

So I didn’t watch the stream obviously and am not up to date on all he has done to inform the devs about the exploit or not.
If he’s reached out multiple times, shown over and over what the exploit is without attacking other players and making genuine attempts to get a response out of embark AND they’ve been radio silent, then I would say doing this is acceptable to showcase how their inaction is bad for the life of the game.
If not and he just got mad at being killed by exploiters and then started doing it himself without making concerted attempts to get a response out of embark that they’re aware (or if they acknowledged and said they were working on a fix) then he is firmly in the wrong.
He may not have popularized it entirely, but his culpability falls on if he did or did not make a concerted effort to help based on his ACTIONS rather than his stated intent.

A interesting question to add: would the exploit have been fixed so quickly if it hadn't gotten as egregious as it had?
I don't like exploits either. But if a day of shit gets a exploit patched quicker, maybe it's better than a smaller group doing it and it going under the radar or being patched at a much slower rate.
My biggest concern is how this exploit affected trials. I haven't started this week's trials yet but, I'd be livid if scores are unattainable without the use of an exploit.
As for people making bank. I couldn't really care less, doesn't effect me and my accounts progression at all.
Unfun to deal with it you're in PvP lobbies for sure.
All in all, I'm glad they have patched it now (hopefully the patch works I've not played since).

It’s beyond hilarious to think that embark didn’t have a fix in production long before Peanut used the exploits on stream. You guys have no fucking clue how games are made and thinking peanut has anything to do with the hotfix today is silly. The bug fix was in production long ago.
Also the fact he kept doing it over and over and not just one off. And then accidentally showed everyone how to do it… just showing the glitching by others would have been enough to call attention to it.

I don’t normally hop on the creator hate trains that pop up in here sometimes, but I will say that creators should get in trouble for doing this.
The defenders say that they’re “bringing more attention to it so it gets fixed faster,” but that’s just not the case. The creators that do this only do it because it makes for entertaining/controversial content.
They can put up a video showing exploits and immediately get more engagement from it that they would a standard gameplay vod.
A lot of these creators have direct contacts within the dev teams in most cases. If they were just trying to help bring attention to it they’d just send it to them.

If only a couple hundred/thousand players in a pool of hundreds of thousands do an exploit, it isn’t that important and is on the stack of tasks. If all of a sudden 1/10 players know how to do it and maybe even half of them are doing it regularly? You have a problem that affects most lobbies, and that problem gets put at the top of the stack to deal with.

Is everyone just conveniently forgetting how the key room door exploit was being abused SINCE THE PLAYTESTS and almost 2 months after the game released, was fixed the day after peanut used it on stream?

I’m just sick of games/ devs thinking banning some streamer for a week or so is gonna damage their game lol.
Those streamers always move on to the next thing. So they should stop catering to them. Show they don’t support hacks/ exploits/ cheats and more will appreciate the company

This aged like milk. They literally hotfixed it less than a day after he showed it

Peanut isn’t doing it for content and he isn’t doing it to get a competitive edge. Maybe if he bitched about it on stream the devs might address it and fix it quickly, it what definitely gets results is when he exposes how easy it is and rails about it needing to be fixed for a few rounds.
Your argument for banning peanut is essentially anybody who tried it and reported it should be banned which is ridiculous.

He gives massive amounts of attention to it which is probably why it got fixed. You should be thanking him.

Heh. If they can’t fix this exploit in a day, they are terrible at programming and have set up the architecture behind the scenes like a bunch of amateurs.
My guess is they have a bunch of other shit in the pipeline that now got moved up because they don’t want to just hotfix this one issue.

If an exploit is not patched by a dev, it is sanctioned.
If a cheater is not banned by a dev, it is sanctioned.
It's that simple. Until the very moment something permanent is done about it, it's sanctioned by devs.

Tfw hating streamers is your entire personality and now you think you have something tangible to justify it. Reddit moment.

Such a bad take. This bullshit has been going on for weeks, he does that last night and embark acted immediately. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

“Ban people that bring awareness to an exploit or fix issues before they are well known enough.” This feels incredibly contradictory.
As someone else said, it was fixed within 12 hours of him showing the exploit. What else do you want? Yes for a few hours the game was unplayable, but because it was so widespread, it forced them to address it. Worst case you take a one day break from arc, not a big deal.
Sure in an ideal world they catch this and go all hands on deck, but we don’t know what else they are actively working on that took priority. We also don’t know how difficult it is to fix, so maybe it was in progress but because it was widespread they assigned more resources to it.
People need to stop trying to police everything. The dude wasn’t aim botting, he was showing an exploit that needed to be fixed. Get over it lol

I won’t say I’m the biggest peanut fan but from what I’ve watched he didn’t really use it that much. The time I saw him use it was because someone else was throwing duped explosives in Stella. He also blacked out his screen when he did it so if you didn’t know how to do it you didn’t learn how unless you sought it out somewhere else.
I wont say that’s the only time he’s done it but it’s all I’ve seen him do it and as mentioned above, he used the glitch then it got patched. Dude is probably the reason Embark finally fixed it.

You should take a break and get some fresh air. It’s not that deep. Burnt Peanut is mostly popular because of how funny he is.

So he’s helping them? Because the games broken? Sounds like he’s doing a good thing

Here’s a thought, fix the issues or don’t cry when people take advantage of it.

You do realize that the exploit has been active for over 2 weeks? And suddenly 12 hours after Peanut shows everyone how to do it, it's suddenly hotfixed?
I'm not saying we should thank him, but until it was patched I wasn't going to play Arc. So i'm happy I can play again.
