There was a bug back in Nov. that made krayt tissues spawn without serial numbers for a few days which could be used to build a schematic that also required no serial ID. This resulted in people building lots of weapons off the same schematic using any tissue no matter what its ID was. Does anyone know if they fixed this exploit or not and has it been reported?

iI believe they fixed this exploit.

I know a lot of smiths on Valcyn who used it, and offered to give me schematics to use it as well. I refused and i'm happy I did.

they fixed it, so they now have all serial numbers, but you can however, use the old tissues still, i was very hesitant using a few tissues brought to me, but they still work, I made a nice republic blaster out of it

Well, I know that the krayts have serial numbers, but can you no longer make schematics using the no-ID tissues?

Okay, you just misunderstand what I am refering to. There is a bug with that schematic you made using the ID-less tissues which would let you use ANY tissue in a factory with that schematic. If you could find 1000 kray tissues you could make 1000 identical ABHs because the schematic doesn't specify that it needs an ID. This is the bug I was talking about.

Ok that is a new one for me!

The nov bug which you refer too is as charb and tuckiee stated! the tissue's were bugged and not the schematics! (note this was a bug as the game itself was changed in which krayt tissue lost the ID# and not an exploit which would indicate ppl deliberately doing something sub-vertive within the game that was entirely unintentional/unbalancing)

The closest i can think of to the situation you outlineis that some krayted schematics were keeping the krayt stats without requiring any tissues etc etc but this has been squashed afaik along with any other exploit! (and this was an exploit)!

REREAD MY POST PLEASE

and your welcome

I've seen tissues that do not have numbers on them just recently, so I know that isn't true. Was just wondering if they fixed the schematics

I'm sorry you don't get it but if I have to spell it out, here I go

I was given3 identical stat krayt tissues, but no serial ID #

I was able to make a schematic for a advanced blaster power handler using 1 tissue

I then put this schematic into a factory and made 2 identical ABPH with the other tissues

I then put these ABPH into a republic blaster

I did this about a week ago.....

If you have a existing schematic for a ABPH i see no reason why this shouldn't work, as long as they are identical stats

the exploit was people could make a schem with a +100 max no id tissue, and make the factory run with only +30 tissues instead. It's been fixed, and now the no id tissue work like the normal ones.

The probability of these tissues still being around.... very low. I hope there is not a new dupe around.

There are some, floating on Ahazi.

Devs were informed VERY early when they could have prevented the sale.

Devs, sadly, did not do so.

I'm unfortunately inclined to think that the exploit can still be used, given the way the sale was advertised. though only the devs know for sure.

nah, tissues were from a guildie who got em back then, just had no use for em, am I the only one who thinks its funny this guy comes to the game forums to get assistance on exploiting?
