I knew I had seen this incredibly bad take before.

Edit: I'll reiterate for convenience.
What you want is not less weekly scheduled maintenances, because that's a stupid request.
But you want there to be less bugs after a content-patch, which can be really hit-or-miss. Content patches are not part of the weekly scheduled maintenances. This time there was a huge amount of non-KMS content involved, in addition to the anniversary content and changes that involve the login-server. Nobody is surprised that a lot of things are broken.

Stopping weekly maintenances isn't going to change any of that. What you could be advocating for is more rigorous testing of new content. But even then some things can break once it goes live. And the game would still need frequent maintenance.

Or do you just not want any new content ever?

Where am I supposed to farm my mesos now? Level my kanna up to 225? If only it sounded easy to level a kanna to 225 and make her one shot mobs......

Well, yes. That's what everyone else has been doing, both pre- and post-nerf and it's worked out fine for them.
Balancing doesn't mean taking a broken system and replacing it with something that simulates that broken system. Your compensation is Maple Tour and the incentive/nudge/kick in the butt to go farm at higher level maps instead. You got your daily/weekly boss crystals and Ursus too.

There are more ways to get meso than getting an easy 150 levels and farming in a previously unbalanced map, but you don't really seem interested in investing time into a server that is built on the idea of grinding for free progress, so that's on you. MapleStory in general is a time-sink, always has been.

So you're upset that people give factual answers instead of super friendly ones? I don't get it.
A lot of people in the discord ask easily google-able questions, and questions that have been answered time and time again in the discord, which has a search function. Sometimes people have to learn how to get their information by themselves, but from what I've seen they actually do get most of their questions answered. If the answer gives off an annoyed tone (though tone is hard to read in text) then it's usually because it's one of those google-able things. The way the person has asked the question also matters.

It also sounds like you're maybe spouting too many half-baked opinions, which results in people "always correcting" you. Everyone's free to vocally disagree with your opinion on any platform and offer arguments against you. If you're giving wrong advice to people, that's also up for discussion. There are optimal ways of progressing, and even though that isn't the only way, that's usually what people are asking for. If you're out there giving obscure and "this worked for me a year ago" type of advice, then people are free to disagree with you and state the optimal meta.

Once you put something out there, you're no longer in control of the conversation and it's not on you to end the discussion just because you've been proven right or wrong. You can withdraw, sure, but you can't make other people stop discussing your stance and their stance on it once it's out there.
Just think twice about what you want to say, and what kind of discussion you want to start, before starting it. If a lot of people continue to have adverse reactions to you then maybe consider if your choice of words may have something to do with it.
Another thing is that you don't have to insert yourself into every discussion to be an active part of the community, that's another thing that people might find annoying. If you have something to say that adds to the conversation, or are genuinely interested in the topic then great, but sitting back and just reading is another way to enjoy the discord and absorb information.

The "issue" that nobody tries to befriend you is not really an issue with the server, but an issue with your expectations. I'd say the majority of people don't use the discord to make friends, but to exchange information and opinions on topics that are relevant to MapleStory. I personally ignore/block random people who DM me out of the blue wanting to chitchat, talk about their lives and get to know me, and the only server we have in common is MapleStory (or any other specific purpose discord) without any previous interaction. That's not what I'm there for, and it makes me uncomfortable.
I believe there's a chat-lounge section in the official discord if you want to connect beyond MapleStory. But usually your guild/alliance discord is better for getting to know people.

I don't know you so this is general advice based on this thread, which comes off as kinda entitled and whiny, by the way.

Probably (hopefully) satire thread but;
They've been trying to have scheduled maintenances bi-weekly instead of weekly so there's that. Tbh, I don't know if I'd rather have them weekly anyway. There's something about MapleStory servers that makes them literally self-destruct after a while without regular restarts. Rather have a couple hours of regular downtime than having channels crashing and insane lag for weeks in-between.

What you want is less glitches and bugs after content-patches, which is different. Nexon doesn't sufficiently test their copy-pasted content before releasing it. The sooner you accept that the live server is the test server and we are all guinea pigs, the sooner you will find peace or at the very least apathy.

My thoughts are: it just hit kmst, and is in no way indicative of the final product. I trust the Korean playerbase to push back against it hard enough that it never sees a live service environment.

And then Nexon NA disregards that and brings it to us as a GMS exclusive.
