Merit hack?

drake112 · 04/26/2011, 18:59

Has anyone tried to mess around with WPE and merits? Since you get merits from being online, it could be possible to intercept merit packets, edit them and send them back to the server, thus gaining more merits ... right?

In example: you gain 1k merit per 1 minute you're online (correct me if I'm wrong)... with WPE you can catch that packet, edit it and send it back as if you were online 10-20 minutes, thus gaining 10-20k merit... right?

Just a thought...

I believe the Merit points are completely done serversided, with a check how long you are connected to the server on that specific character. Packet editing won't be effective for this.

Of course they are server-sided. Though, in other MMO's similar WPE exploits work like a charm... that's why I'm asking this silly question

i guess this might be possible but im not used to packets only just exploring them now, i found in twelve sky 1 you were able to slow down time with cheat engine, so with that it might be slightly based client side

completly serverside.

Ive tried contribution hacks in all the ways ive been able to think of and servers perma banned for most.

If you stuff up packets, you will get banned. packets are encrypted. Theres a time signiture in the first 7 bytes. with packet count in 8th. packet id is 9th on Sent packets. Recv packets are not encrypted and have no time sig.

But a time bassed thing like that would just be a time comparison on the server side for how long your session is existing

but wat if u were like able to speed up the rate of packet sending(dont know if possible, im a noob to packets lol)?

no i wouldnt think so.. Ide say it would be a time function in server side look up the C++ timediff function or something.

But if it is a packet it will turn up sooner or later

i was thinking in the time coversion thing see the code that adds the actuall merits and not the time

That is done on the server, don't even try.
