Indeed they can improve on that. While it is not exactly centered, you can't miss it on the nexon launcher as it is right there. Its also silly that the news/update feeds on the launcher were being completely ignored. The person attempts to launch the game, gets the maintenance message, then ignores the feeds which is just right there, then go on their browser instead.

Be careful with those assumptions. The steam version does none of these things.
No news about maint, no warning that the game is under maint. No maint message on the front page.
Point is, what OP suggests is a good idea. You might call it spoonfeeding, I call it good business practice.

Starting to get this now after playing around with the skill some more.
Using the skill at max duration on enemies that don't die quickly enough stack up hits so fast the game disconnects you.
I can only assume it thinks you might be cheating/lagging and DCs you in response.
I managed to catch this in action yesterday.

It'd be nice, but what say we let them work out the kinks with 1080p before asking for 4k? Because from what I've heard, there are a lot of kinks.

1080p users get chat window booted off to a possibly impossible to access space if using external chat window.
Windowed users can't click the lightbulb above character's head sometimes. (Doesn't happen in full screen.)
Videos play in the top left corner of the screen and don't scale to match reso.
Buggy graphics can be seen outside of in-game cutscenes sometimes.
...
Just to name a few.

Hi guys,

I haven't been played Maplestory for ages. Now, I am gonna create a new character with the burnt bonus.
Any recommendation between Blaster, Cadena and Ark ?
All of three are the most interesting class for me
Thanks in advanced

I think we're supposed to suggest things to the developers here, not to other players. Probably better fit for general chat.
Blaster was fun imo, until I found out I was doing extremely subpair damage because not using the combo system.
Ark is fun and so is Cadena. I'd say Cadena is slightly more challenging than Ark. So either of those over Blaster would be my say-so.

This is a weird way of handling things imo. How would this be advertised? Is it said in-game? When you enter the map? Do they do this for all AFK-Event maps?
I think a better solution would be to unload characters on chairs (the skill is considered a chair) on maps like these. For future AFK-Maps, just do the same thing here. (Require sitting on a chair to reap rewards)

It would have been quite simple to make the Alliance's Resolve skill work in any map. They intentionally made it only work in Outpost. I assume this is because they want a lot of players gathered in one spot and able to see each other there. Community-building or at least showing people that their world isn't as empty as they might be thinking.
So, I don't think your idea would be accepted.

However, I'm also not sure it's all the people causing the lag. I think it's features of the map itself, like the fog blowing through it. Maybe the game needs a "simplified graphics" toggle, for those whose hardware can't keep up with the game's constantly escalating graphic requirements.

You're right. I mean if previous events had skills that worked in any map, you could just go to your favorite idle spot of choice and just grab your free coins/exp.
It's my opinion that it's the people. The way maplestory handles drawing of characters (and the only way it really could) can be extremely heavy on the computer.
After all, I've experienced similar lag in the previous events which had much more simple maps.

If Nexon really wants to "community-build" and "show their world isn't as empty as they might think", I don't know why we don't have a free server wide chat method yet.
The six person random chat room doesn't count in my book. I'd like to see megaphones (not super) become free. I never see anyone use them anyway.
