Ladies and gentlemen, it seems a new exploit has just entered the building.

I'm assuming this was the one I saw go from +8 to +18 over 25 minutes last night. Not sure I get the point of these guys using item Smegas to add extra attention to themselves when they are already obviously using an exploit when it gets announced all the time. This on top of all the other legit increases in standards sort of makes me want to blow up all my weapons and just settle with my mediocre casa crow I use for looks.

Im with you on that, this picture sort of demotivated me today, I dont even see the point in working to get good gear anymore when people can just hack items, and you know they'll float around forever, Nexon wont be removing all the items even if they fix the hack, which also probably wont be for a loooooong time.

It honestly pisses me off seeing those glitched weapons. >_> What makes me more angry is that the enhancement scrolls won't inflate, an inflation on those scrolls (to White Scroll average) could stop these guys from glitching more, but then again they could just bot a character overnight and probably get around 10+ scrolls. >_>

I feel like Nexon is always late to find out that a major exploit is out. How is this not an issue in KMS but it's an issue in GMS? 'As long as it doesn't affect their precious MTS (see pitch exploit) or CS, they won't notice what's going on.

Just remove enhancement scrolls from the game, potential scrolling is enough. I honestly won't even dare to touch one of those enhancements, I already get scared enough to use potentials.

I'd be so easy to remove hacked enhanced items it's hard to convince yourself that they'll NEVER be removed. For f'ucks sake, they just have to delete all items with more than 8 stars.

I don't get why this is so hard, Nexon:

• Set the variable boomrate to the amount of earlier enhancements
  
• If scrolltype is not advanced, increment boomrate by 2
  
• If boomrate is over 9, set it to 9
  
• set boomrate := boomrate * 10
  

Now, boomrate is the probability in percent for exploding your item. If the item doesn't explode, the scroll works. This can actually be done server-sided, Nexon. Duh.

problem is that the exploit doesnt work like that

 Spoiler

as you can see, the item is in the ground, and hes spamming the scroll, and the scroll is failing.

this exploit can only be done at gpq map, or in happyvile.

and use legendary skill too, since with packets, you can do w/e you want, that's how hackers do that exploit.

they put the item on the legendary skill, send drop packet, the item will drop, but since in happyvile, even if you drop the item, for maple your item is still at ur inventory, when you crash for spamming the packet, you item wont vanish, and it wont blow for some odd reason that only nexon can explain.

this exploit work with any scroll, make 30%/70% not blow the item, and make clean slate not blow item, etc.

But that's just the problem. They remove all of the obviously hacked items, but I'm sure anyone who's smart has already hacked their items in a way that it can pass as legit but insanely lucky. I said in my post before that these people who passed over 20 scrolls and such are most likely doing that for fun, while they keep their actual items that they plan on keeping stored away somewhere. They probably know very well that their items will be deleted, but the ones that were illegitimately made and still pretty damn godly will stay in the game.

That's the real problem. They profit no matter what. Even after this is patched and their items removed, they still get to keep a few items that would be extremely hard to make by legit means.

For fun, and to show everyone what they've done. They know very well these items will be deleted later, so why not show them off while they still can?

@Everyone who's bashing Nexon for not fixing this, not to be a Nexon lover or anything, but at least they are trying to fix it. They made it so you can't get to Happyville anymore... but the problem is, this exploit can be done in a handful of ways. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are GPQ, in a trade window, and in a shop permit window. >_> So you can see, Nexon has their hands full because there are simply so many ways to do this exploit. Of course, I have no idea if they're trying to fix it any further, but they did patch the Happyville method so I'm hoping they will soon patch the other methods and delete the obviously hacked items.

But even so, there are tons of items that can't be deleted because they are godly scrolled, but not to the point that a legit player could not scroll them. Btw, this exploit works not only with enhancement scrolls, but with clean slate, 30%, and 70% scrolls. Basically anything that has a chance to blow up your item can be abused with this exploit. So yeah, it's impossible to tell if a perfectly scrolled item is actually legit or hacked, even if there aren't any enhancements on it. >_>

The items could also escape via storage like those HTP when hammers came out.

Iirc in happyville you can drop untradeable items though, which is not true for those other places. So it protects Reverse+Timeless items, I guess.

Just putting this out there, for those who are saying "this is the worst hack ever" i have to add that this in no way effects you - we have had worse hacks this is piss weak compared to guild hack or account hackings a few months ago. u dont need these ub3r wep's just stick with ur current equips and keep a low profile and you will be fine.

Heh, just delete any with 5-6 stars + for good measures. Better screw over the 0,00000000001% of the people that actually where dumb enough to risk a good item legitly than to have smug hacker scum still having their crap left.

"Adept" hackers always come out on top of maple, if you've played maplestory long enough you know this is the case. They continue to dominate the markets and bosses. I doubt the 10 and below enhancements will be removed, and its possible that the really outrageous enhancement counts aren't removed either.

This. There is no kill like overkill.

It looks like potential scrolls have indeed unleashed it's true "potential".

I have no clue where you got that idea from...

Illegit weapons in fm means illegit boss runs -> illegit weapons/skillbooks etc. With these illegit weapons people can kill BF and Anego in no time and therefore ks the crap out of everyone legit. You will have no clue what in fm is legit and what's not. Not to mention that all of the legit good items will deflate and problems that occure when Nexon is gonna fix this issue (false autobans, rollbacks etc.) are totally gonna screw everything up.

WOW this is disterbing.



LOL WUT

Like I said in the other forum, KMS/Nexon can easily fix this by adding a cap on how many enhancements can be used on an item. Since advance enhancement goes up to 10, then 10 slots would be the cap. Remove the destroy risk from the scroll, set 10 slot cap. Most players would average around a 4 star equipment after using all 10 enhancements, and it wouldn't be so game breaking. Heck let White Scroll be usable for the picky people so they can get a max 10 star legit enhanced weapon.

It's either do this or just disable enhancements from the game.

I've heard so many people there IS a limit; 16 or so. While it's hard to believe them or anyone else, I'm sure that if the hackers these days can do what they're doing already, going past a restriction as how many enhancements can be made wouldn't be difficult at all in this scenario.

I never heard about enhancement limit o_o. Theres nothing to bypass

My guildmates INSIST I'm wrong when I say there's no enhancement limit, but they can't look into the data, so I still don't have reason to believe them. My point is that if there was/is a limit, I'm sure it wouldn't be out of the question that it can be stepped over.

The only limit is the star every item can show, its because of the window stats of each item, that can be smaller or bigger, depending of the item's type.
