The damage jam bug - exploit/bug horrors of Mabinogi

• Yogurticecream wrote on 2010-10-14 13:20
  This is such a bad bug that I felt it is necessary to publicise it.
  
  Basically there is information that people are "jamming" two weapons into their stats, such that damage is doubled.
  
  E.g. Min-max is 100-200, with this bug it becomes 200-400.
  
  I heard the same can also be done with armor.
  
  This bug also causes massive server lag with the exploiters abusing it and also taking advantage of the situation by buying two times exp pot.
  
  Right now all of us are suffering from this extraordinary lag with even monster lag occuring once every few minutes.
  
  We have had three maintenances in two days so hopefully the publishers are aware of it.
  
  (Devcat please fix it asap = =;;)

  giant bot abusing it since a long time on ruairi, they weild a 2handed weapon with knuckles :/

  But if it's just bots, I don't really care.
  
  Though if they did this with the same weapon it's probably impossible to tell.

  Not bots. Main account players are doing it.

  OH... I hate dmg bugs...
  Lucky for me, this bug disappeared in the KR server a long time ago.
  
  I'm hoping Devcat will fix the swap-bug ASAP here in Korea.
  They've kept it exposed for months now.
  Right now Golem Summoning is Destroying the Balance completely.
  
  They did another 2 hour maintanence this morning, and again they did not fix the bugs.
  The GM's reply that they're working on it but thats what they have been saying for the past 3 months

  Does that swap bug has to do with cylinders?
  
  So this bug is what was in KR server and they didn't bother to fix it to overseas servers?
  This sounds really bad.

  o.o So is EVERY server effected by the bug or is it just the server the people abusing it is on?
  And what do you mean by jamming? Just a question,Im curious about this whole thing.

  Unless it is patched, the code is the same for all servers. So, if one server has certain bugs , the others will have them as well.

  Lately (couple of weeks) CH1 on EU Morrighan is lagging badly maybe it's caused by this? Or Nexon just fails lol...
  Well could you explain the bug? Like is it 2 Weapons in 1 Inventory Slot or like wielding Knuckles and a 2 Handed Sword at once? (Not asking about how it works)

  The way Yogurt explains it, it seems to allow players to multiply the stats on just item, as if it were more than one item combined.

  the bot im was talking about wears knuckles on right hand and 2 handed sword on the left.
• Xemnas wrote on 2010-10-15 02:55
  I don't know if this counts but I saw someone in GHOST using a wand + bow at the same time.
  
  There were also other modders in random guilds talking about duplicating items through mods. (I won't say how here)

  They did fix the dmg bug/glitches.
  It took Devcat less then a week to fix it.
  (BTW the bug didnt lag the servers when it happended in our KR)
  It seems like they somehow made it reappear again in overseas and they're having a hard time solving it this time.
  
  
  The current Golem bug aka swap glitch in KR servers
  Started with Wand swapping glitches.
  It was only a few months ago that ppls realized swap glitch works with cylinders as well.
  And thus the Golem bug was founded.
  
  Wand swapping was, although it is still glitch, acceptable.
  The glitch itself wasn't enough to overpower magics.
  Ironically enough, it was probably the only thing keeping magicians from being overpowered by other classes.
  With golems, it is not so.
  Glitched Golems easily overpower any classes.
  Being able to deal 4k dmg with just one WM(which btw has a radius of almost 1600)
  Snow and/or Magic Golem's crit smash deals over 10k dmg.
  
  There are so many bugs/glitches to fix but, they aren't enough to totaly destroy the game's balance like Golem glitches and dmg jams can.
  They really need to fix these things ASAP D:
  
  EDIT : I just confirmed it now, Devcat fixed the Golem bug this morning. XD
