I really don't understand why did they decide that removing the old Useful Items was a good idea. In what way does time restricting these items help? All it does is cause problems to players. Stop harming your players Nexon.

Why doesn't Nexon test the updates anymore before taking the game down for 'scheduled' maintenance? asking for a friend =(

in a memo they said that the patch itself doesnt take time but the testing is what takes so many hours, so yeh they do test iirc.
But yeh, every single freaking maintenance theres a huge delay, ik things dont always go well but ffs, whats wrong with this company? In rainbow 6 theres was a patch where they deleted some stuff and introduced new members and maps and such and it took only 30mins! , 30! , this maple patch has taken 9hrs and a half already! and the game isnt life yet!

So much testing they do it still goes wrong. Makes me believe they do no testing whatsoever. We have one big patch every month, its only one, and every time something is wrong. Shouldn't we get some form of compensation? A single nodestone or something?

I think that key weighting being a banable offense is stupid enough already. This isn't a pvp game or anything where you would get any significant advantage over macroing. Macroing could help when using items in a sequence as skill macros only work with skills and not having a item-buff macro can sometimes make buffing mid boss disorienting.

That being said I agree with AKradian that classes that uses combos and the like to be efficient should not be rewarded if you make a software do the heavy lifting, which is something macros can do, unlike key weighting and that could affect the balance of the game making some classes easier than others. Its a complicated case where technically there is no one harmed but at the same time the balance is tipped and therefore issues are caused.

What I think would help (but probably will never happen) is that we get a way more efficient way to use items/skills than what we have now. Having a skill button that runs through potions and skills for buffing, which would be better than what we have now. Improving the use of certain items so we can open nodestones and cube faster without having to go through several dialog windows over and over. Neither of these make the game play any differently and only improves the amount of time that would otherwise be wasted thinking on what key did you leave that other potion on.

Still given Nexon absolute lack of communication when it comes to what are exactly banable offenses and their silence when it comes to changing the game in favor of quality of life it will take a miracle for someone in the upper echelons to be reached about this issue/suggestion.

There are many people that don't play some characters just because their colors of most of the abilities for example Angelic Buster which many more players would play her if most of her abilities weren't pink or if someone doesn't like green then he would avoid Wind Archer because most of his attacks are green, i suggest to add a skin coupon for abilities for mesos or NX so people can have more freedom to play the character they like.

Its not a bad idea but needs a better reason than "people won't play because of the color". I for one love that Angelic Buster's skills are pink because it makes sense with the character she is.
With some characters it would be easy, like Jett having a Zen skill skin, or Kaiser changing his slashes color, but for others it could get confusing, distracting or useless.

Maybe one day we will go back to the times when the maintenance would end at the time they said. At this point it would be better to just say "Maintenance, ending sometime".
