SaptaZapta Wrote:How come the hackers are always able to come up with these things within days or even hours of the version-up, and under black-box conditions at that, while Nexon's own people can't imagine what is possible while having the code open to them?

It is VERY likely this was done the same way as last time and it got unpatched with the v112 update.

Leaves Wrote:So essentially, all three tickets received proper, detailed responses. That is definitely... new. Just wondering - who were the GMs/CS staff that replied? Because it really seems as though they either hired some brand new, very effective ones, or suddenly decided to change their customer service policy from "this is proprietary info" to "let's actually discuss the issues". There's a couple new names on the Nexon forums, too, so just wondering if it's the same people on both fronts.

GMZinyden answered all three.

At least kirby could read that and get stuff done. Frown

It's not exactly a stretch to say that in nearly 10 years most of the original devs are gone.

I really think it was from the marvel wheel, though...

this isn't 100% guaranteed to ease your worries, but if your weapon was not perfectly average, then that means it's not generated, if it IS 100% average, it may still have been a drop or a marvel thing (since, like you saw, a lot of people got those too)

good luck!

most probably, since there were loads of 130 weapons and such, the 140 canes... not so sure.

remind me in short, what was the last time's "trigger" so to speak? i think it was something with the wheel of marvels? never got any confirmation and it always left me curious

those perma lidium hearts are annoying though, they were trying to sell fully scrolled ones for almost a thousand dollars, i want them gone, just so that anyone THAT stupid to pay for one gets his ass whupped

The shop we bought the 140 bowgun from had lots of stuff you can get from the wheel of marvels including some stuff NO ONE wants like the 2h blunt weapon and I saw none of the A rank nebs or anything suspicious in the FM so I'm 99% sure it was legally obtained. Nido is hardly ever affected by these big exploits anyway lol.

It was perfectly average, though, no Empress has been summoned outside of her actual map in Nido afaik.

Guess we just have to cross our fingers on this one, so much legitimate work was put into farming all the scrolls and she has waited so long to get that.

Well, it was from the maple admin who exchanged skill books (A very well known..expert("cam") stated this)

Basically what went down (without getting into detail) is you could exchange anything for anything.

The reason I believe this is what's going on again is because they brought this system back with the revamps for night lord and shadower skill books. A few people also saw this coming I guess as you can see by the maintenance now. I'm extremely impressed with how fast they dealt with this though.

Also (off topic)

lol couldn't figure out how to mention on SP

the first line would have sufficed, thanks man, guess it had nothing to do with the marvel wheel like i had heard

[MENTION=9288]LykaBawss[/MENTION]; i wouldn't worry then, the shop sounds legit enough

Wow $1000??? @_@

they were 700k nx for one with a few less attack, crystal one i think, and 970k nx for alidium heart 63 attack.

if you go by dollar:NX ratio it's more like 700, but still

they survived the purge, which was the most facepalming part.

Personally I think it'd be funnier if they just reset all hearts to a max of 2 weeks on the clock, and let them watch their $1000 slip away

i do too, but i'm not sure nexon even knows how to do this (look at the PB chair event, in which they didn't make them permanent.)
