surprised that there was no bug reports on these after like 5 years you aren't able to loot items after you talk to a npc for like ~10 seconds login message appears (buddy list only) when you exit the cash shop
Not Bug - Unable to loot for some time after talking to NPC | MapleRoyals apparently someone said the loot thing was intended
The old smuggling glitch from GMS, where you could cheat by smuggling items in and out of PQ's bypassing item removal checks. You drop items on the floor, and while clicking the entrance/exit NPC's cause your client to lag (back in the day you'd unplug your ethernet cable) for a second, and while lagging you loot the items after the NPC script has already tried to remove your items. Our implementation of the fix could be better implemented though, like having it only apply on PQ related maps rather than the entire game.
it would be a great quality of life change if it was changed to just the pq maps if it's not too difficult or just completely remove it. tbh, no one really does pqs (smuggling shouldn't be allowed anyways since it's glitch abuse) and it's more of an annoyance to majority of the players if anything. examples would include drop trading in fm, drop trading right before a expedition run like hearts @ cwkpq signing map, etc..
The old days on gms R>KPQ (have channel scout and smuggled passes) !!@@@ Meanwhile autoclicking that NPC to finally get in with a party That was like a competitive scene out there
It would probably be more convenient for the players to remove that 10s item pickup delay and instead have that item-removing script run both when leaving and when entering a PQ. That way if someone "smuggles out" (whether accidentally or intentionally) KPQ tickets then they would be removed upon entering KPQ the next time. Same goes for APQ 50 buttplugs stage, LPQ tickets, etc.
That would be amazing if it didn't say you came online after leaving the CS, can this be patched? edit: also can it show you as online (on buddy list) like it would on guild window, while in CS?
There are some clear limitations with the cash shop though; some features, like chatting or inviting someone to your party that is currently in the cash shop, won't work (they won't see your messages or invite). Getting that online message notifies you that you can talk to them or invite them again as they just got out the CS, so this might be the intended behavior.
There are already scripts to remove items, the way to bypass those removal scripts is by smuggling, which the pickup delay blocks. If we remove the delay like you mention, that just allows smuggling.
Oh I get it now. If this pickup delay is removed then it would allow not only to smuggle items out of PQ but also smuggle them back into PQs (by using the same method you described - picking them up right after talking to NPC).
i believe if this pickup delay could be limited to certain maps it would improve quality of life greatly cannot count the number of times i have accidentally clicked on an npc like Rupi or Thomas Swift when drop trading myself some random cheap scrolls
