199999 damage per triple throw star

[Cyanne]

Describe the problem. Be as specific as possible!: When you glitch 4x damage out of pyramid (which is a bug itself), shadow partner will always do 199999 per critical star on triple throw.

Is it really maxed damage...or does it just say it does 199,999?

Come again? o-o

[SethElite]

Come again? o-o

I would guess it would be similar to smuggling.

[Spideyjvc]

Hahaha, oh wow.
I honestly can't imagine this being fixed any time soon.

How long does this buff last?

[Cyanne]

It seems to be real because it's showing up on my screen too.

It lasts 40 minutes, not sure whether or not alchemist affects it though.

[Bribery]

Quick, everyone go kill PB before they fix this! :f3:

[Spideyjvc]

It's a conspiracy, guys. Nexon just wants to underpower new corsairs and give the advantage to new Night Lords. (I know I said this before, but still.)
.

[IllegallySane]

I can imagine people posting this bug on Youtube as a Speed Pap kill or whatnot, and people will say they're in a private server. :tongue:

[Takebacker]

How do you get the buff outside? I can't do it in the kerning version.

LF>Explanation on glitch.

[twy123]

AH, glitching pyramid pq. MSEA had a Flamewar over this. Luckily they fixed it.

EDIT: i never did the glitch before but i heard thats its only possible in a party. Basically once you are in the party and gotten the 4x attack buff. quit it. this will cause everybody to go to the exit map.... while bringing along something extra

[Corn]

Erm, you're not supposed to tell it to everyone. Lol.

[Hazzy]

Erm, you're not supposed to tell it to everyone. Lol.
So to counter this measure you quote him. Lul.

Quick guys, before Nexon fixes this (and ignores bigger issues, like Pirates and Hackers), go kill Pink Bean.

[Kawasari Mimoto]

LOL? 199,999 damage per star isn't even impressive, imo. Night Lords these days will never impress me, they impress me less if they're using a glitch to do that amount of damage. I actually hope they fix this. -shrug-

[Cyanne]

Just tested it at zakum, and the damage is real. Alchemist works on it too, extending the duration from 40 minutes to an hour.


LF>Explanation on glitch.

In party mode, just have the party leader click on Duarte and bail.

[Kawasari Mimoto]

Wait, Alchemist works on 'potions' that has either a time duration, or a set amount like xxx. If this is a buff, I don't see how Alchemist can work on it. That sounds ..weird.

Because PQ buffs are just potions that you don't manually enable, the game casts them.

Alchemist works on pretty much all PQ buffs. You can time it on the Mulung Dojo pretty easily (the ones you loot).

Alchemist works on the HT buff, too.

I don't think this is a "force 200k damage" thing. One of my fellow HT runners did it too, but with the 300% buff. Her top stars were doing very close to, but not quite 200k. I postulate that Shadow Partner, which normally does 50% of the bottom star's damage, was made to do 350% or 450% (+300% and +400% respectively) of the bottom star's damage. Since the bottom stars are already doing huge damage, this is further multiplied by an error in calculation for Shadow Partner. That would also explain why the top stars do more damage than the bottom.

[K!yO]

lol, time for another Zakum speed run :f3:

[Kawasari Mimoto]

Oh, I see. I've never had a PQ-buff casted on my Hermit/NL, ever, iirc. >_> I've yet to HT, etc.

[Cyanne]

Pink Bean, more like =p

A jMS group killed all five statues in like a half hour on just a 25 att potion. Statues would basically become a joke with a gMS counterpart on 5x damage and apples. Damage would probably be so high that we'd start seeing all the ranged classes doing over its 140k knockback damage even after the half damage reduction.

[Dual]

So basically we just need a huge group to glitch the buff and then VIP straight to PB, then proceed to kick ass for 40 minutes? With that kinda damage, there's no stopping them.

[Stereo]

So you have 30 PB runners stationed at the Pyramid PQ, and 20-30 auxiliaries outside PB ready to family-warp them up (or just 1 person per family, and all the runners use their own warp)...

That gives the NLs about 50-55 minutes of 4x, everyone else 30-35, if you can get in and started quickly. Enough?:shine:

This buff and apples can stack on eachother?

Of course, that assumes that they don't ever die.

@ Kiyo: Yeah, it's just like Zerk + Apple.

If that ain't enough time, nothing will save us.

[Kalovale]

ZAK SOLO TIME!!
I didn't bother with this when I figured it out. Now that I think about it, I can use this to train at O4. :blush:

[WillDaSnail]

Wait, what the f***? Lol.

Interesting glitch, but I can see this spiraling out of control....if too many people pounce upon it. :f4:

P.S. Does it stack with apples?

[HellenzSin]

any1 else tried this at HT or something? i have done it but i dced atheads, they were dissappearing and stuffs(almost half the runners dced too and they werent glitching). Might be coz of using this glitch or maybe they just broke HT after the patch.

Could be the Windia PB dc crap again.

@ Will: It's a multiplicative modifier for your dmg, so yes. Apples add 100atk, this thing doubles quadruples pentuples your dmg. Yay for 8x 10x dmg.

[Cyanne]

It's actually 5x damage, sorry. The description just says 400% damage, but it actually means +400% damage. Well, the best one does anyways.

Disappearing parts sounds like vista o_o

i smell bans....

...we all know what happened when people webbed big foot :f3:

It's not against the rules until they say so. At the very least, we could have some fun with this before it's fixed, though I doubt PB will be killed.

[Takebacker]

PB probably won't be killed because everyone would likely get banned.

I really hope it is killed though.

[ChaosCorpse]

Someone mind seeing how far they can break the dmg cap via Pierce with this while they have the chance? Inside the PQ I was able to hit 94k with it at level 1 and no SE at the time whereas my usual max was 21k, granted a friend of mine lent me a weapon of +7 attack to me today as well.

EDIT: AAAND I just found a thread where you guys are already working on it. But come on, we can do better than 497k :f3:.

[Cyanne]

It's pretty obvious this is abusing a glitch. How could giving a 5x damage buff for 40 minutes for free be intended?

I think GMs have more important things to worry about over watching over PB to make sure nobody uses the glitch on it.

There's a multiplier of 1.2 per target pierce goes through, so the cap is 199999 * 1.2^5 on the last monster, or for all 6 monsters added up, 199999 * (1 + 1.2 + 1.2^2 + 1.2^3 + 1.2^4 + 1.2^5)
(I don't have a calculator handy)

[Hazzy]

Google is a calculator.
199999 * (1 + 1.2 + 1.2^2 + 1.2^3 + 1.2^4 + 1.2^5) = 1,985,974.07
199999 * 1.2^5 = 497,661.512

Everyone made hermits, maxed shadow web first, did finished 3rd job in 3 hours and is now running free with their level 120 NL that they stopped leveling because the bug is gone?

[Worthyness]

Don't forget F/P mages! They got a free leech character!

[Shady]

It's not really important IMO. My chance to shine.

[Tay]

Now let's see if you can figure out the other glitch.

[hyperhopper]

how do yo u glitch out 4x damage?

[Scaeva]

Wow, the coolest, most fun glitch appears and I can't play. Awesome?

I hope no one gets banned for this though, because who can resist something like this, right?

[Kawasari Mimoto]

Everyone made hermits, maxed shadow web first, did finished 3rd job in 3 hours and is now running free with their level 120 NL that they stopped leveling because the bug is gone?

..and..that is reason why not only does my damage-output PER second > those Night Lords, but my controlling is significantly better.

Easy way to 120 usually means they have shittier controls.

[Stereo]

The easy way to 120 (other than leeching) is sit in one spot at the newties map and kill the 2 Jr. Newties you can hit without being hit back.

It's like 20%/hr at 10x/11x.

See, thing is. I did that a bit around early 11x, because training bot, middle, or top platforms was too costly on potions. But other times, I had to duke it out at Squids, or Zakked. Actually, most of my EXP from 90-120 was all on Zakum runs more-so than anything else. If I trained, people usually wanted me on top or middle platform of the 1st Newties map, and top is only if I had any SE. Fun times . . .

[Tikey]

Now let's see if you can figure out the other glitch.

The one where you stop the stage 1 timer?

[Andos.]

Now let's see if you can figure out the other glitch.

I doubt that one isn't fixed.

[Phoenix]

Well this is a bug of a bug really.

But I in all honesty don't see a point in glitching this for PB, it'll just cause a giant shit storm of legit vs unlegit. And since MW30 isn't even exclusive to PB anymore, and Rocks of Time are a bit lol-able the monetary gain doesn't seem worth it.

On the other hand 10 minute HT's? Less controversy more gain F3
