Increase the duration of each 2x session from 3 hours to 4 hours OR lower the price & duration of the 4 hour 2x coupon in the cash shop to 3 hours for 1.4k nx

Having 4 hour 2x coupons when the event only lasts 3 hours per session is now insensible to buy unless you have to. I'm quite surprised no one barked at this issue yet.

    They're too busy worrying about the lag

    If they cared about lag, they would get rid of the hacking problem that causes it....

    They added a 3rd 2X event within a day and since Nexon is stingy, they didn't want to go from 8hrs of 2X in a day to 12hrs. So they changed them all from 4hrs to 3hrs so that it's 9hrs of 2X in a day. We only get one extra hour. Not like everyone can catch all of the times anyway..? So that was still pointless.

    Was 12AM-4AM PST & 2PM-6PM PST ~> 8hrs/1day
    Now it's 12AM-3AM, 10AM-1PM, 6PM-9PM PST ~> 9hrs/1day

    I'm also surprised this was not brought up in the forums yet, though there was a lot of talk about it in-game when the change first took place

    Way back when, we only had 2 hours at a time of server-wide 2x, and the cash shop cards were 4 hours. It was accepted that you get less benefit from half of it.

    As for why they changed:
    The two 4-hour sessions were supposed to be one each for Americans and for Australians. Of course people on both sides of the ocean gave up sleep to train on both sessions, but that was not the intent.
    Now that we also have a significant European contingent, we have 3 sessions, each timed for a different continent. Again, the obsessed try to play all three, or at least two, of the sessions. Nexon didn't want to give those crazies 12 hours of 2x each day, and shortened the sessions.

    There was a time where they did 4 hours and 3 times per day during events. It's a good thing for Nexon if people are playing all 3 because it generally means more coupons will be bought from the CS. Currently with the way it is it feels like a waste buying a 4 hour coupon.

    They should either change the times back to 4 hours or sell 3 hour 2x coupons rather than 4.
