fixing the glitch

i sure hope nexon fixes the bigfoot glitch as soon as possible because...

over the course of today (yes, just today) i levelled from 81 to 111

... in a day. if nexon doesn't fix the poisonable bigfoot exploit tonight then many f/p's like myself will be able to skip over many levels.

like, thirty levels in a day! who would've thought?

Should you be happy you can glitch your way up? :f6:

well obviously i'm happy .. but i'd like them to close the glitch before
a) everyone bandwagons f/ps to get to 4th quickly
b) more f/ps take advantage and reach 100+ without effort (making my high level less special) - selfish, i know

Should you be happy you can glitch your way up? :f6:

Of course, but once you've abused a glitch to your satisfaction you always want it removed so other people can't follow in your footsteps

I'd like it fixed, too. I'm not an F/P, though.

Quoted for truth. Though I'm a class that has taken advantage of it, I still don't like it, and it's just causing more stress and arguements between people over KSing, etc. Just more drama I don't enjoy so I'd love to see it gone.

yeah exactly. plus as long as the glitch is available, i kind of feel obligated to spend all day killing bigfoots so that i can take as much advantage of it as i can before it goes away. it would be nice if they fixed it so i could do other things without feeling like i should be abusing it while i can.

what do you think nexon would do about those f/p mages and sins and basically every other class that abused the bigfoot glitch or any other glitch (like the leprechaun one)?

they must do something about it...

Why hasn't a sin leveled from 80-100 with shadow webing? or is it because misting does more damage and can be used while hitting it?

The way i see it, both of these ways shouldn't be the way to level, kinda takes away the fun.

What leprechaun glitch? the one where they don't do their damage?

yeah, that one.
it's not like the bigfoot glitch but it's still a glitch. :X

IMHO, leveling in maple is not fun... maybe i've just done it too much. but whenever there are glitches like these, i see them as breaks.

Top 2 there, guess what class they are.

And well, the leprechaun is a glitch, but isn't as noticeable as Bigfoot glitch. Mostly because Leprechaun glitch is something only people extracting data understands is a glitch. They have no unusual pattern apart from their high amount of mesos, but that is reasonable because there's a boss spawning in the maps before and in the map where they are.

Glitch needs to be fixed in a patch. The boss flag is set in the data =/ So at least one more week of glitching if Nexon doesn't put up an emergency patch soon.

they can remove the spawn completely or do a stat override tonight.

We will still be able to kickback bigfoot into the corner tho right? Cause they might wanna fix it getting stuck in the corner of a map after a NL or something that can KB it...

i dont understand y you say bigfoot is a glicth lol o.0, maybe the dmg posion can do to it is a MISTAKE made by nexon but, bigfoot, is defiantly not a glitch. BigFoot isnt a boss, its just a very monster, like grim, skele and newt, and like every other monster, they all do dif dmg and have dif amoutn of HP, get over it.

btw, u got from 8x to 11x in 1 day and then y u say u them to "fix" it so people cant lvl as fast as u did so u can feel special? o.0 errrrr ooook.

IMO, they should just revert the EXP/levels back to the night of the CWK Patch/Yellonde release. All current items, mesos, etc, NX, quests completed, and SO ON, would remain exactly the same.

2x exp cards could be refunded if used in the past x days, which would be easy to do, I'm sure.


Yes, it would suck, but then you have this group of FP mages/hermits who easily jumped ranks and this other group of non FPs/Hermits and even other FPs/Hermits who didn't jump ranks and it would cause problems.


Does anyone else have any other ideas on how they'd fix this? If they would keep track of how much of a BigFoot you kill, how many you kill, and what the exp rate is when you kill it, they could deduct exp based on kills and such. I doubt they do though. :/

they can't ethically take away the exp you earned because they made it poisonable. that's not exploiting an error .. it's their setting that makes it easy for us to level. if they rolled back almost a week like that, loads of people would quit.

dude, you were KSing me and my guildies/alliance people at BF! thats kind of F-ed up if you come and KS us, and then say they should fix the glitch X_X

Ethically, it would be unfair. However, from a technical standpoint, NEXON can do whatever they want, including rolling back people, because it was stated in the TOS that they can do pretty much whatever they Firetruck the want at anytime.

"Loads of people"? Seriously, I doubt that "Loads of people" are going to quit with a week setback. If they keep everything aside from exp/levels the same (all Yellonde chars would just be back at level 1 with all of their current items so nicks won't be changed or w/e), I really doubt people are going to quit over it.


The only kind of "proof" that I found as far as it being any sort of "glitch" is that TiaraYellonde(GM) smega'd saying that those abusing a glitch to get the top ranks wouldn't go unpunished. I can't see ANY feasible thing except to rollback the exp.

IMO, they never said a boss monster CAN'T be affected by things like poison, shadow web, etc. It is their game, and they CAN edit what counts as a "boss".

Personally, knock the exp to either 250k or 500k, remove Shadow Web and other effects, and leave Poison Mist and Doom. That way FPs finally have a boss to hunt after not having one, the exp would be mediocre(killing 8 with reduction would be same as 1 now), and everyone would be...less...ticked?


I guess they could just rollback FPs/Hermits, but I don't think that sounds completely fair. :/
