[Cecu]

Just added a 0% mission on EU, will see in few hours.

can confirm working on eu...be sure to wait a second after the mission screen....if u press esc too soon all is lost!

[fenomic]

hmm i can confirm that u can click on the lootbox after mission fails, but my toon lvl 91 did not get the +800 ep... so kind of useless for me. or can anyone confirm that u got the extra xp from the lootbox counted for ur toon?

Shows me "failing" a 100% chance mission, this exploit is nothing more than "Make your missions say fail even though it succeeds"

If someone shows me a clip of a 0% mission letting you open a box, AND getting the reward from it, I will say it works. Until then, this isn't working.

Since it's very probable that this is pure Placebo, does anyone know if there is danger to lose mission rewards from this? By the way, have you noticed if you can lose the base XP with this attempt (the base XP is normally given even on a failure)? I have no missions available right now to test it.

There is a huge risk involved. In about 30% of the attempts of doing this your quest simply dissapears when you hit escape and you do NOT get the rewards. Just handed in 5 quests. For the first 2 the exploit works, for the last 3 the mission simply dissapeared and I didnt get the reward (lost a 615 and 630 follower item this way.....).

Would certainly not recommend trying to use this for missions you really care about, for some others you can always have a shot.

That's because those missions FAILED, the ones you see this "work" are ones that ACTUALLY already succeeded and you're just making it glitch and say "failed" look at my screenshot showing a 100% mission saying "failed" that's all that is happening a VISUAL glitch.

I agree with posts above - i think its not 100% win. I think that people that do this glith earn XP from the chest only and I think they've just aborted many of their missions :< Tested it 3 or 4 days and im still not 100% positive about this. Also tested it 10 min ago and i think I've just aborted my missions. No rewards and even no animations with followers earning XP. Not working anymore? (Ravencrest EU)

Worked @ 03:00 when I got my legendary stones! Thanks

When did you guys press Esc and righ click back on the bench?

I also tend to think this is after all a Placebo effect. You glitch the printing of the word "FAILED" and you think you glitched the success rate, but the success was probably there anyway.

Also, I know that some probabilities are low to begin with but I think that's just how it works.

e.g. I've noticed "82% success rate" can easily fail very often. It's so unreliable like this.



PS. i.e. I think it can actually really succeed even with "0% probability", since even "82%" isn't that reliable a lot of the time. It's probably a lot of extra randomness involved.

What?

Anyways, the reason you feel like your 82%'ers fail often is most likely due to those missions being with several mobs. And those mobs all have 18% to fail. So having 3 mobs at 82% only gives you 55% chance to complete the mission.

In any case, this "glitch" appears so unreliable that those saying it's Placebo, are most probably right. They just hit cancel, they get then some base XP (it is normal/legit to get base XP on failure) (though I'm not sure if you can glitch that part and lose it with this method) and then if they win by chance they think they glitched it really, when they actually probably only glitched the UI.


I don't think there is a "sweet spot" anymore. I've waited 1 second, I've waited 2 or 3 seconds, it always can fail.

I don't know, I would be surprised Blizzard do this. It would be missleading for players to show a per-enemy percentage without noticing us that it is actually applied once per enemy.

I think the percentage is just the global chances of failing, and the game just displays a random enemy among the three to fail when you do.


Appart from that, I am really not sure the exploits work. I had it working sometimes, but also fail, in the end my global result was the same as pure luck I think.

A few precisions about what everyone is discussing here: no, you don't lose rewards. When the mission disappear you already failed and only get the failed xp, when it doesn't you get the reward after. I have taken the time to check with gold missions that after receiving the reward my gold did actually increase, and it did. But not everytime, which suggests the glitch is just visual and has no effect on the actual win/lose.
