    No need.
    Unless:
    "Note: Players may experience an error when auto-patching to v178 from v176.1.1 using GameLauncher.exe. Please update your client to v177 first to ensure you are able to update to v178 properly. Otherwise, you will need to download and run the v178 Manual Patcher when it is released on our support site or use the Nexon Launcher."

    I'd lol/cry in a corner for 10 hours, aprox time to get the full client again.

    It's not that we're "supposed" to. We can wait and let the launcher do its thing after the maintenance is over.
    But if you manual patch before that, you'll be able to log in right as the maintenance ends, instead of only then starting the wait for the download and the patch.

    The downside to using the manual patcher before Nexon says we can, is that if they discover a really bad bug they might have to change the client - and the manual patcher as well. If you patch too early, in that case, you have a bugged client, and you might have to re-download the entire game.

    So, use at your own risk.

    Oh that's easy, I just changed the number in the previous manual patch link from 177 to 178. It's not always up this early after the game update starts so I usually test it out every hour.
