  • Medal collector here, but huge problem.

    You'd have to specify which boss difficulty you're trying to enter, your damage, whether or not you have party members, and so on.

    Root Abyss bosses have very different mechanics from each other. Normal Root Abyss bosses have about 315,000,000 HP, which might take a little while but should be beatable if you deal decent damage.
    Chaos Root Abyss bosses have about 3x HP as their normal counterparts, and are level 190. You will not be beating the Chaos bosses at level 140, and it's unlikely you'll beat them without a party or good gear.

    Tower of Oz depends largely on how much time you can accumulate from Stupid Pills and how quickly you can complete the floors.
    The bosses in Oz are:
    • Giant Spider with 400,000,000HP (level 129)
    • Tin Woodman with 1,000,000,000 HP (level 150)
    • Cowardly Lion with 6,300,000,000 HP (level 170)
    • Scarecrow with 2,100,000,000 HP (level 190)
    • Dorothy with 840,000,000,000 HP (level 210)
    These bosses have to be faced in the same run of the tower, with one timer throughout the entire tower.
    It's unlikely you'll be able to clear Tower of Oz without very good gear and much practice.

    Magnus easy mode has 400,000,000 HP and is level 110. Normal mode is 6,000,000,000 HP and level 130. Hard mode is 120,000,000,000 HP and level 190.
    The key to Magnus is to remain in the blue aura, otherwise your damage is reduced significantly. Unless you have a party, hard and normal modes require the burst damage necessary to defeat Magnus while dodging the meteors.

    Mushroom Shrine's Tengu does not rely on your damage at all. There are two attacks which create a purple aura surrounding him. When he uses these skills, enter the purple aura and press Space Bar. You must then follow the quick-time event keys on screen (with "S" representing Space Bar) to deplete a fraction of Tengu's HP.

    You're not facing normal or hard Lotus at level 140, so I'm going to assume you're trying Black Heaven. Black Heaven scales Lotus's HP, level, and other stats according to your level. In addition to this, if you fail the battle enough times, you can weaken Lotus (reducing the number of lasers in the first phase, reducing his HP and defense). It shouldn't be necessary to obtain very good gear to fight Black Heaven Lotus, but you might need practice.

    Additionally: Magnus, Lotus, and the Oz bosses have 5-second cooldowns on potions. That is why there seems to be a "delay" on using them.

    It's OK little fella I wouldn't expect people who know NOTHING about, "Hacking" to know what is and what isn't.
    The reason you'd use a "Checksum" and to verify the integrity, of the games SIZE

    The minute ANYTHING is injected into a application the file size is altered, a simple check of any kinda injection into game memory would then terminate the game.

    That is not how packets and servers work. It's also not really how applications work in general, but we can ignore that.

    Packets do not alter file size, they're communication between the client and the server. Packet "injection" refers to sending falsified packets to the server to obtain the results you want. Sending more packets doesn't cause the program to become larger (not the least because the program is already compiled by the time packets are being sent).
    A checksum would not provide any defense against packet injection, because the file size remains same.

    Now, there is a form of checksum on packets for smaller amounts of information, usually a parity bit, but again, this doesn't verify data authenticity, it verifies data integrity; it might be able to detect a corrupted packet, but a corrupt packet doesn't necessarily indicate hacking (as corruption can occur in any part of the network).

    Again, I assure you, checksum is useful for detecting data corruption, not verifying data authenticity.

    These are the reasons why a lot of websites now give a Checksum hash it's to compare the file to know that the file you're downloading hasn't been tampered with when you check the Checksum.

    Checksums are used to validate file integrity during a download, not authenticity. For example, if you wish to transmit the following message:
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
    And you used Unix's cksum operation, the result would be:
    2382472371 44
    But if the message was changed to be:
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy doq
    The checksum would be:
    2539161553 44
    (Values taken directly from my school's Unix server)
    If the value is different, this means there was an error. Depending on the implementation of the program, the error would either be resolved or the data would be resent entirely.

    Also, Maple hasn't had problems with client-side file editing for years. The primary issue currently is packet editing and injection.

  • HOW DO I CLAIM MY LEGION COIN

    You shouldn't have to die while raiding to obtain the coins.

    To obtain the coins, simply enter the raid, then leave the raid by pressing the yellow button on the right-hand side of the screen. Dame Appropriation will then distribute the coins you've earned.
    You only have to remain in the raid if you wish to complete the daily wyvern kill quest for bonuses.

  • Clarification needed?

    The dialog states that you will be able to change the chair during the event period.

    Since the chair is changed via the cell phone and the cell phone expires when the event ends, I've been taking this to mean that once the event is over, the chair will be locked to whatever you have it set as.
