Double Sweating(Now patched)

Jowy2000 · 07-30-2008, 23:55

This was a while ago and I never noticed anything pop up about it on these forums, but for a while I could double sweat. I even saw a few other people doing it too. Start sweating, switch to rifle, switch back, concentrate. It would keep going and carry over and I would always be double sweating. I made TONS of sweat that way.
I even have screenshots of myself sweating 2 creatures at one time!
(Ill post these up but theyre at home... Ill have to do it another time)
That is, unless this was like some common thing, I don't want to make this post and have everyone be like 'duh n00b we all knew that'
But yea, what was the deal with this?
It was patched a long time ago I know but I completely forgot about it until now, and meant to ask about it.
Did any of you guys use it? Or know about it?

I have heard about it, but for me it was only cosmetic.

Also, the background sweating seemed like it couldn't get interrupted either, so it was very easy to sweat even if I was getting attacked.

Wow.

Never heard of that one.

MA will consider this kinda thing an "exploit" so I'm not surprised they nerfed it. Mind you, in the picture you are getting many failures, so you could argue that it wasn't that profitable...

dunno how long it was around before I heard about it, but it only worked for a few weeks before it got patched.
I always close my sweat windows so who knows how much I got :P

and obviously the rate was still the same, I could just make twice as many attempts in the same amount of time. It felt like it was raining sweat! And I loved it! Taken out of context that's disgusting though.

Anyway, I saw hardly anyone doing it, a hunter ran by me once as I was sweating, walked up, sweated the thing attacking me dry by doing this in like no time at all, and walked away O.o I was like... why did he switch weapons? I figured at best it would allow him to start concentrating again without having to wait for the whole animation, so I tried it and at first that's what it seemed like. Then I realized it basically kept overlapping sweating, and I was sweating twice at one time, it would often last several attempts before I had to re-do it too. It was almost like once you created the second one it stayed there lol.

And idk if this is separate or related, but it would continue past death too, and I could sweat stuff after dying.

Yea, major exploit, if that got popular sweat prices would be like... .2

In a way Im glad it got patched, it took slightly more effort, and twice as much would just lead to half the prices anyway.
