The backstory: So today, I shared with my alliance that when I fought DDC on my mm and used snipe, I could bypass the damage cap of 8888 damage to the boss, and hit 199k damage. My alliance mates feel that this was not an intended mechanic, but I had my counterarguments to this: snipe bypasses weapon cancel, still being able to do 199k damage to whatever monster has the buff snipe can kill normally unkillable monsters, like the LPQ golems. snipe however, CANNOT kill the monsters in apq in the stage where we need to run and escape. I'm honestly unsure where to post this, because personally I feel that snipe has been hardcoded to do a fixed 199k damage, and this is not a bug. Would any of the admins be able to shed some light on this? Or have I been unintentionally glitch abusing my entire MM career. In this case, really then, RIP marksmen. :thonking: *EDIT*: I'd also like to clarify that I've refrained from going DDC, as any admin can check, I current only hold 10 coins (and have not spent any). The coins were acquired from me hitting DDC normally only with strafe. I only happened to chance upon this interaction some runs in. I've had no intention of any form of abuse so I found that the best path of action was to seek clarification
Don't know about going over that 8888 damage cap you mentioned, but I'm 99.99% sure that Snipe bypassing weapon cancel and doing 199k is how it was intended to work in the original game, which is why Snipe is so special.
Another reason why I think it's a bug is because of how NL's shadow partner works. SP's damage is always half of the first 2/3 lines from Lucky 7 or TT, but it still do 8888 on Dong Dong Chiang.
Now that you've exposed to the entire server that you've been abusing a glitch to deal more damage to the event boss, I can understand why you think you will be banned. Afterall, you're encouraging people to bring their marksman mules to the fight now ! You're such a bad person Sena.
Being able to deal 199999 damage to DDC is most likely a bug related to fixed damage mobs located in maps that do not restrict your skills. Will get Kevin to look into it. And moved to bug reports.
