Vicious Hammer is coming to MapleSEA

Just for those who don't know:

Vicious Hammer is an item that adds 1 slot to any item (is there a success rate? not sure). However, it can only be used TWICE. ANY item, that means if you get a BWG from Gacha, use it twice and now you have 9 slot BWG.

Horntail pendant: 3 slot, 2x Vicious Hammer = 3 egged HT Pendant.

Your thoughts? Ruin the game? More damage? What?

I personally think that this will ruin the already-ruined game.

This doesn't need an entirely new thread. There's already two posts about it in General already.

Coming soon?:f6:

With 10% miracle scrolls, i could actually see this happening again and asiasoft coming out and saying it's intended.

Oh god.
If someone makes a +5......

You can't. Eggs only work if your HTP has 3 slots on it.

World transfer might still be able to reset hammer uses in SEA.

Hmm.. SEA doesn't have world transfer system so I'll guess that glitch wouldn't happen unless they screw up something far worse than that.

If they're smart, AsiaSoft will code the Vicious Hammer so they only add slots to items with 0 slots left. They could avoid the +3 HTP fiasco altogether.

or code the HTP with the inability to be hammered.

A lot of people have argued that if Nexon only intended the HTP to be able to scrolled with just one Dragon Stone, then they should just give the HTP one slot for scrolling. The reason there are multiple slots is to allow chaos scrolls to work their magic. There is POTENTIAL for having +10 to any of 4 main stats with 2 chaos scrolls applied, but there is potential to ruin a pendant as well. If a pendant is ruined, then a player will get another one and try again. This keeps meso being spent in the marketplace instead of everyone having the same 22 stat +1 pendant.

Having a pendant with potentially 5 slots (being hammered twice) only adds to that. Moreover, if a hammered pendant is ruined, then the player will potentially spend more NX on another pendant to try for a better one.

It's not in Nexon's business interests to limit the number of slots on a HTP. But it is in Nexon's business interests to prevent an item from causing an imbalance in the game, like a +52 all-stat pendant can do. If they coded the Vicious Hammer to work only on items with zero slots left, they can allow the HTP to be hammered because only chaos scrolls will work on those slots, not Dragon Stones. Failed scrolling jobs on HT Pendants do many things - cause people to spend hundreds of millions to obtain another HTP, cause people to spend NX on hammering those new pendants, cause people to spend millions of mesos to buy chaos scrolls (and keeping chaos scroll supply low with the high demand for them), cause people to spend NX to buy mesos, etc. None of that happens if everyone has the same +1 22 stats HT pendant.

^ Not really, pendants just come with 3 slots by default. It's one of the mysteries of MapleStory

I would like to abuse it xD

Even if the glitch gets through, people are not going to be quiet about the injustice it causes. Don't abuse, for it'll get fixed in a couple weeks, and knowing MSEA's policies are different than gMS's, there may or may not be bans in order instead of compensation.

Too late, I (and several others) report damn near everything that happens in the GMS community (and link to KMST extractions by Fiel and Issac) in PegaKok's 'Predict Highlight' threads over at the AsiaSoft forums. I'm pretty convinced by this point that there is someone on AsiaSoft staff lurking in that thread, especially judging from how quickly they picked up on the Aran thing on that Knights of Cygnus poll that they did late April.

Not only that, but screenshots of the +3 pendants have been circulating around their forum for about a month now. MSEA staff would have to be horribly, -horribly- blind in order to not notice that there were issues with the Vicious Hammer in GMS.

Which version has the 9slot weapons from Gachapon again?
