There's plenty of NPC's that can take items you buy and convert it into items to your storage... Look at the BG NPC Telma. There's an option to exchange your badges for battleground materials directly into your storage. It's completely possible and any GM that says it can't be done is simply lazy or they don't know what they are talking about.

Nah it wasn't nerfed. They apparently added a 5% aftercast delay reduction to the donate weapon and didn't do the same to the legendary weapon. Still waiting on a GM to actually comment on this and give feedback, however it must not be that important for them to comment.

Fairly certain that buying protection also comes with the server updates as well so it shouldn't have any issues. Also when you change something that a legit player can do because of a player who is using third party programs to do it you should probably get some protection to stop the third party program users instead of changing the entire servers aftercast delays to "balance" it when it's not balanced anyway since people use autoseed regardless and get away with it. The GM team needs to stop changing skills and start changing the server itself to get some third party program protection. That way skills like sonic blow, fire bolt, ect can be returned to their normal aftercast speeds because all these third party program users would no longer be able to spam as they are now. It's probably faster to just make the proper server changes instead of touching every single skill and increasing aftercast delays and adjusting damage modifiers. If you would like I can probably get in touch with a developer/coder who can help you with it since it would help the server and he knows far more about making those changes than I do.

Better to have a buggy protection that blocks most of what people are using instead of not having anything and nerfing everything to balance people who are cheating in the first place.

Harmony is only one of the many third party protection programs that are available. If you would like I can list a few for you. Here's a starter link that took me 2 minutes to google and find. http://www.ro-services.com/category/game-guard/

What sort of exploits for pvp? Such as sprite resetting? You do realize people use nodelay as is and aren't being banned because the GM's have to go through this vote crap that takes 3 months to do and by the time it goes through the guy who was using nodelay already quit the server. Not to mention that as is it doesn't matter much since being attacked resets 90% of the sprite animations anyway. The only other things that @refresh does for pvp is reset your characters position on your client side allowing you to see where you really are instead of being stuck inside a wall.

My point is they aren't changing the skill itself the skill itself is the same they are simply changing the delay which makes it balanced. Sinx don't need any more changes to them they do plenty of damage as they are with the spam they have currently.

High priests also are completely countered by using a GTB or maya so the link wouldn't matter too much... not sure what that point is though since soul link has the same effect as it always has the skill itself wasn't changed only the aftercast delay was adjusted which is perfectly fine.

If the GM's were really trying to prevent third party programs they would get something like harmony which costs 200 bucks for a lifetime subscription and they pay for all server updates/upgrades required. Just some food for thought on the subject. SB sinx as they are kill plenty of people so I'm not sure what the issue is... HOWEVER I do agree that GS are fucking stupid with their spam and their damage and considering their "utility being garbage" they don't need utility when they are putting out up to 250k a hit with full buffs and gospel on top of having spam that's far faster than FAS. In my opinion GS need a fix not sinx. On the topic of sinx's and fixes, why is it the GM team is trying to adjust skill delays when they could always just add protection which has been around for 5+ years o.O?

bumping this again

Little do they know you can break the traps with a champ or a HW huehuehuehuehue

Perhaps have an option to convert tickets to items and send them directly to storage as well as which would make it far easier to convert tickets to items. It takes a while to convert 100 seed tickets into seeds and having to use @storage every time just blows.

There aren't any exploits to @refresh unless you have a banker NPC. Since @refresh is completely client side there's no way to actually abuse anything with the command, on top of which you can use a script to force the character to not be able to move or do anything if they use @refresh while talking to an NPC. I have played on countless servers where this command has been active and had 0 issues. I have been bringing this up countless times since I have started playing this server and not once has a GM explained which exploits are there because in my 11 years of playing this game I have yet to hear of an exploit other than the banker NPC bug that could be exploited by the @refresh command.

I use the HP card quite a lot actually. It's one of the better cards for armors on the server if you use it properly. Anyone who thinks that it's a pointless card simply doesn't understand how to use it properly.

comparing this server and officials is a really stupid comparison... that's like comparing apples to a coconut. On officials snipers use 2 handed bows where as here they use 1 handed bows making them survive a hell of a lot more than normal so they honestly don't need any real changes.

You know beast strafing doesn't work on demi humans and players right?

From what I have heard from other players and seen with my own eyes. There have been changes with the HW and prof weapons to allow them more aftercast delay reduction. I haven't seen anything on the legendary weapons that have any aftercast delay reductions. These reductions should also be added to the legendary weapons to allow the same field of play as the people with the valk weapons. For the biochemist weapon alone I have noticed that the Jrage gives +10 aspd where the L weapon does not, which is perfectly fine since you have to donate for the Jrage and not the L mace, HOWEVER the Jrage also has the 5% aftercast reduction which the L mace does not have which is the real issue. This is making biochemist cold bolt/fire bolt spam stupidly slow. That being said I believe that adding the 5% aftercast reduction to the weapon would not harm anything in regards to people buying the Jrage but it instead would enhance the play of those who cannot afford one and put them on a more even pace with those who have full gear.

There's an NPC that signs your gear, It won't have a name like "Genesis' Supercool Ice Pick" but it will say "Genesis' Ice Pick" not sure if this is what you're looking for.

You will end up with rankers having 2k+ missions and it will be too broken in the long run. Sorry but -1 this isn't a long term solution for it especially since the taekwon ranker listings are not being wiped every month like they are supposed to.

The only real issue i can see with the parasite event is that a custom mob/npc will have to be made that acts like the poring finder NPC to be the trigger, and a custom map would have to be made along with the flags for the map to be set. This will take a very VERY long time to code. It seems viable for the rest of the events but it would just take a while to be able to get them all running as well as the GM's to be active at the same times for some of them.

The guide itself isn't bad, but compared to the amount of time you will spend farming on a WS you can farm much faster with a wizard by warping around maps and using aoe. This isn't a bad guy for a newbie but if you're already doing the knight quest then they should probably start it on a wizard so they can make the legendary staff which would help them in farming since they would get the increase weight limit, and on a wizard they wouldn't really need the vit since it's just farming so they could instead just get the 150 total dex and pump their int to 260+ then throw the rest of it into str since it's all just aoe they wouldn't really have to worry too much about the aspd coming into play. It's a nice guide though keep up the good work.

Don't you know that's how this server works... instead of banning people that are obviously using third party programs they nerf skills instead so the people can just change class and keep doing the same thing over and over. Most of the snipers that are around used to play sinx before sonic blow got nerfed. Either way as it is sonic blow deals enough damage to kill people if you have the right gear and know how to play. You need low ping to be able to get more than 3 sets though. Or just do what the pinoys do and use BN and claim to use pingzapper. Just saying...

Or you can do what most servers do and add a password to the guild storage...

99% of the champs on the server use programs... especially since almost every champ that plays is a pinoy and uses "pingzapper" and it somehow reduces not only their ping but their animation delay and spam speed. Ohh and lets not forget about the autoseed on champs that always makes me laugh.

If they have any weight it should just be set to 0 since it could cause the same problems as with the token weight...
