mdnoria Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Nice (end of) DST bug this time, unlimited free pachinko rolls between 12am CET and 1pm CET. Will for sure fuck up the last contest of CCbC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will for sure fuck up the last contest of CCbC. Came here to say this. I'm not going to try to exploit it though, since I'm worried we'll be punished for it somehow, despite it being their mistake. Edit: Oh and, Daily Goals is broken too. I have a pachinko task and a sell items task, tried spinning the pachinko and got a +0 to daily goals, then tried selling some items and got a +0 for that too.

Horsting Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Abusing an obvious bug is a good reason for punishment or ban, so the question of the fault is irrelevant 😉. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdnoria Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Same but I was in the top 4 of the CCbC and I have to either forfeit it or exploit the bug a little to stay in top 4. 😕 Was planning to do some ymen paid x1 rolls of GG pachinko but since I need to check the contests scores from time to time... And I suppose I already see abusers in my bracket, someone got from outside of top 10 to top 1 with 200k points in 20 minutes... and continues to gain points by leaps of 1560.

Horsting Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) It is indeed extremely bad timing with this CCbC and the bug. I also see one person now climbing the ladder rapidly, and of course suspecting a bug abuse, while it could be just a regular sniper (if you can even call it like that 15 minutes before reset). ... checked back, yes this cost me 1st position. Already 100k above previous 1st, still climbing. ... I will take 2nd with GPx10. I do not expect this being retrospectively fixed (the contest results/rewards), but if so, I want to be prepared we 2nd.

Eckos Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 It seems over on GH there are also some players who are abusing the "Free Pachinko spins"-bug to score extremely high points in the current new Cumback Contest. 1st place in my bracket has now ridiculously high points compared to 2nd to 4th place. Gonna screenshot it just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsting Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Yep, another player appeared at the top of my score and also climbing within the last minute very fast. So I have two cases where I suspect bug abuse to win the contest. Is it now right to report them, also to spread a general reminder to everyone that abusing obvious bugs is not okay, or shall I stay calm, take the 3rd position, and not snitch on others 🤔.

Eckos Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 In my bracket I suspect either only 1st and 2nd place because they really have very high points and came out of nowhere or even 3rd place as well. I was 1st for two thirds of the contest run and the two players behind me (now 5th and 6th) also were on 2nd and 3rd for that long. It is one thing if you used the free Pachinko twice or thrice because you wanted to get rid of the "!"-remark and at first didn't realize it's bugged or if you clicked the hell out of the Equipment Pachinko to accumulate over 1.2 million points when the previous 1st place had 175k with 2nd and 3rd following with around 140k each. To report or not is anyone's own decision yet the question is if it is worth anything, aka will the devs actually do something about it? It's obviously no fair play but I doubt they'll do the effort and subtract points from already done contests or repeat it while refunding all players their spent resources on it.

Yes, knowing from past bugs (like the adventure progress bug some months ago), KK obviously has no good options to sort/filter resource transactions and automate reverts with a simple database query. So I am also sure there will be nothing reverted. But of course, from what I read, bans were done in the past for obvious bug abuses. I am not a friend of such, but some action as a clear reminder would be probably good, for those which did abuse the bug and were more thinking to be lucky than to do something wrong.

hihi1237823 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) I am more interested in what has caused the bug. Probably the program use two timer. One global time, the other system time😅 If not fix by today, tomorrow may repeat again🤑 Edited October 29, 2023 by hihi1237823 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsting Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) The DST time shift, of course. The timers were set to expire at 13:00 when the time zone was UTC+2. When clocks were set 1 hour backwards, this became 12:00 local time, which is why we could claim them 1 hour earlier. And it seems the new 24h timer still started at 13:00 local time, so that those Pachinko's were kept in free spin mode. The question is why this was not a problem 1 year ago. Probably something was changed at the code server-side when GPx1 and EqPx1 free spins were aligned with the MPx1 ones to start and end at reset instead of 24h after being claimed.

Horsting Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Hmm, as I completed all DGs, I was worried at first that I might have missed a DG yesterday or the day before, without noticing it. But then: Actually 2 (full) days before event end, hence in 33 days, the max achievable points should be 33*150=4950, not more. And I did never buy potions for kobans. Did the DST change have another unintended effect that DGs could be achieved a second time? Not sure when/how I could have gotten 140 potions without noticing it, but I do not have any other explanation. Looks like KK should have taken serious their own ingame news regarding DST, regarding impact on various game systems ...

It's a possibility. I didn't benefit from the DST bug (not even once) since I was made aware of it after it had already fixed itself when we reached the new 13:00 CET. I haven't missed a day of Daily Goals in years, and I go the extra mile to score 150 or close to it whenever I can (always 100 at bare minimum), and this is where I'm at: 9 hours ago, Horsting said: Looks like KK should have taken serious their own ingame news regarding DST, regarding impact on various game systems ... We're in the 7th year and DST has been causing temporary issues (rarely highly abusable bugs like this time, but almost always something off) twice a year for all this time. If devs knew how and/or had the green light from the Boss to spend the necessary time and resources for it, they would have done something about it by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly consider it a feature of the game to have some unexpected behaviour on DST switches. It's unfortunate that this time it was an abusable bug, but in general it's always a surprise what will happen and I just try to enjoy the show. I honestly think I'll be disappointed if we get a year without some strange DST-related behaviour. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-17 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Maybe the developers should move the server to a place where there is no time change? For example, in Russia, DST switch has been canceled since 2011. Then there will be no problems associated with changing the clocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could just set their server to a fixed time, as some other online games do. It takes a little getting used to for most players twice a year (but DST does that IRL too anyway, most notably on sleep patterns), but at least you know the server time never changes and you can rely on it all year long. I play a clicker/idler for which the devs made that choice, and for this one my own time zone switching to DST simply means that the daily reset will take place at 20:00 for me instead of 21:00 for the other six months of the year. No impact whatsoever on the game itself (which is based in Canada where there is DST, they just don't sync the server with it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, why would they step on the same rake twice every year and get a bunch of bugs and user dissatisfaction when changing the clock? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
