Unscheduled Maintenance - February 6, 2013

3 wards are FAR from useless...

On 3 accounts maybe. Wards are only useful on my main which has all the untradeable things i need to prot. Rather not spend the scissors moving it...

3 wards are totally useless if the item is totally untradable... and my storage space is full because I'm holding 2 SP reset scrolls and the lvl 30/70 potions.

So Enhance something tradeable (I squeezed a few Int out of a couple Enhancements on my Shield and Earrings) or save it for when you need to Potential something.

Hi guys. What's going on in this thread?

But really, with so many people abusing this glitch on a mass scale, bans are certainly not the answer. I bet Nexon will go for mass item removal instead.

Still got extra slots and stamped 2 equips so I don't really care

inb4 rollback.

Kidding. Nexon usually don't resort to rollbacks, but you'd never know.

Is it possible to use the potions entirely after they've expired? I also have mine in storage but I have the feeling they'll vanish after I get to use them like 2 or 3 times

So I'm not understanding how this is an exploit if Nexon is allowing this? It doesn't say anywhere in the patch notes that it should be limited to once per account. And it's not likethey're simply handing the rewards out like they were the homecoming event; you have to wait for a half an hour per character. And that's assuming you don't d/c in the meantime. It's like saying doing Knight of Virtue on multiple characters is an exploit.

If it was truely exploitable, Nexon would have blocked it in the maintenance.

Because you can do it every 30 minutes on one character. I'm pretty sure no one would fuss about it if they were just doing it on multiple characters within one account.

Really? I'm not able to do it on my characters who've already done it for the day. Does it occur if you forfeit the quest? If so, then I can see where it becomes an exploit.

Yep, that's exactly it.

If it was actually repeatable within the same day, such that after you completed it, the quest would pop up again, I wouldn't consider it an exploit. I think it's pretty clear that it's only supposed to be once a day because actually completing the quest will prevent you from continuing to do it for that day. Yet, the quest will continue after giving you the first reward without being completed, so players can repeatedly forfeit and gain multiples of the first reward beyond the once a day limitation, which, I think is hardly right.

They haven't exactly commented for or against it, so it's not as if they're actively allowing it, and I doubt they would allow it, and this is an entirely subjective opinion, because the rewards are simply just too good, things that they charge like ~$5 for, protects, those inventory slots, at least that was how much they were before we got the 8 slot coupons.

I don't know if it was intentional, or why they would do it, but they adjusted Vellum's EXP downward by cutting a zero off 2.640.000->264.000. Von Bon is still the same.

Edit: All the other bosses are the same too.

That's sufficient. Click really fast, or use it after you go through storylines.

I bet they won't do anything. Like always.

Learned this from friend, but all abyss bosses reset at midnight now.

It was an exploit plain and simple. People who abused it dramatically are going to be lucky if they come out of it without some sort of ban. This was a gross abuse of game mechanics. You were never intended to be able to pick up a dozen slot expansions along with Innocence 20's and slates up the waz in a single day...

This is a game, not a moral obligation. Alright, fine: People who hack and disturb the balance of things wreck the game for others and should probably be dealt with. But do we honestly need a crusade going on every time a glitch pops up in-game?


EDIT: I'm also not saying that I'm in support of all the masses of items that might come out of the glitch/exploit/what have you. But theres no need to jump up and start accusing people of being delinquents over something so trivial.

Wow, I've never seen two so clearly defined sides fight over something on Southperry before.

Wow, this seems to be slowly going a bit out of control.

Well it's not certain if Nexon has the ability to track who's doing this feather thing more than once a day, but they can try to fix this by disabling the quest or fix it. I remember back then when there was that free NX thing that was like 1 nx each or something. (It's not accurate, don't judge). Soon after, Nexon caught on and fixed it.

In other news, the "Pop Quiz" quest from Red Leaf High was fixed. It doesn't automatically complete itself when you take it anymore.
