Finally.

Doesn't that have to be a patch if they want to fix BF glitch?

You beat me to it

And yes, I'm glad we're gonna be able to CWK PQ without waiting Server Checks <3
Now I can BF whenever I get bored o.o

^agreed

Edit: I think they should "Fix" the Thief Room in the PQ too >_>

What they're doing here is changing the server side of the damage calculation so that the displayed damage will still be 32k, but you'll only receive like 10,000 or whatever. I'm not really sure how they will do this in regards to autobans and stuff, it seems weird and risky.

Is the PQ's settings server sided? Like.. How a room resets?

Hmm, I doubt I'll get a pendy tomarrow but I'll go on some runs. I'm sill amazed at how amazing the skills the monsters use. The shinobi 3 hint fits well with the Theifs jump/start thing

Hmm, gotta work on gettting people ready for tomarrow =]

I'm under the impression their temp fix is to make the damage done by BF to be less than what is displayed. It might still show 32k while you take 3.2k in actuality or something.

PQ programming is server side.

PQs are almost 100% server side, so that was obviously fixable with a server check, but for bigfoot the damage is being determined by an attack stat in the data, so that would need a patch to fix. Now, the client display damage and the received damage on the server aren't going to match so it'll probably be pretty weird.

SInce they specifically said Stage 2 bug...I have a feeling, all of us Trapped outside for the last 5 days, are gonna be forgotten about =/

*goes to fight BigFoot after server maintenance*

*BigFoot hits him with 32k damage but inflicts only 2k damage*

Server: wtp? HAX! BAN!

*Banned*

[COLOR="Magenta"]-looks at SC time-
...Why do they always find a way to cut into my 2x w/ every SC or patch? -sigh-
Still, hope these fixes work though, and don't make anything worse. xP
And for those worried about being autobanned by the BF fix, just avoid it till the patch. [/COLOR]

Lol I can sooo see that happening.

So who wants to be the first to test it?

Wouldn't it be easier/safer to force it to not stomp at all?

I think that Maple just calculates damage twice, once on the client for display and once on the server for actual damage for the mob and for what other people see, which can explain why people who lag can see one damage while the mob is getting hit for something else, and why there used to be a bug where you saw one damage and others saw you doing another damage.

Probably, but Nexon doesn't think this way. I honestly fear for autobans.

Uhhh...

Oh Nexon when will you learn.
