i "love" the people who know the game is doing **** and just make "fun" of other who say that game is doing ****

when nexonNA says maintenance/update/patch on xx-xx-xxxx it will take x hours things should be done and working 80%+ , if not revert and set the time/date for other time when things get to work
we are geting broken content + unscheduled maint anyway (maplers in GMS dosent have voice/power to change it)

or be like boredphine and search for arguments around untill gamble adiction calmsdown on next DMT/maravel/philo

This isn't even Nexon NA's fault most likely. More likely they get the patch files from Korea, without the means to test them properly.
Then they estimate how long it will take based on what they got. Then problems show up because Korea isn't as familiar with the GMS client.
Nexon tells Korea that problems showed up and has to wait for them to fix stuff.

They could just set patch notes for an hour or two out of what they expect it to take.
But here's the real kicker. Nexon is actually being... TRANSPARENT about this. Exactly what maplers are asking for.
What do they get in return for this transparency? Nothing but flak. Gee, I wonder why they're hesitant to tell us things.
Like YinYangX said, I'd much prefer this than them put a server up and hope for the best. At least they're trying to catch some stuff without making us do it.
As far as bugs making it in and needing unscheduled maint anyway despite them doing this, again, this is probably because they lack proper equipment/time/staff for proper testing.

Nexon doesn't need to be defended on much, but there's not much they can do here other than open up test servers before major patches.
Which for a company that is bleeding money, probably isn't the best use of their funds.

They must spend all their money on fixing bugs when porting the code over the GMS.
The person who translates the change log probably doesn't even know how to create a character. let alone create an account.

It would've helped your point if you included why (reasoning) you thought this was a good idea along with your opinion. Until then, I'd say you've earned the "hate" others have displayed.

Suicide Kanna is a clear abuse of game mechanics, but outside of that it just reinforces a solo meta.
Why gather other players to help make up for your short comings when you can just suicide kanna all day long?
As a player who has never used kanna in any regard I'm here to say that you don't need one to advance in the game. Even going the solo route.
Suicide Kanna is straying further away from party play, something players claim to hate.
When changes are made that make solo play weaker and party play more appealing/required, players complain.
Yes I would rather see party play buffed rather than see solo play nerfed. But Kanna is basically something you'd see out of a private server.
It's my personal opinion that she needs to be nerfed into the ground. No meta should ever revolve entirely around one character in a game with 40+.

Solo play should be possible, yes. Absolutely. But there's no reason why an MMO, a Massively Multiplayer Online Game, should ever have solo play be the better option.
It should be your "I've run out of friends/randoms to help me with so I guess I'll go solo for a bit" option, not your end game.
As I mentioned before, I'm not here to change minds. I don't care if players hate me. I just wanted Nexon to know that I don't hate this policy.

In the future,but what about the new playera now? They are fuxked,a lot of people started playing or came back from a long break to see glory just to realized that either they spend a **** ton of hors playing daily or gl with progression,taking into account a job , family and such and progression in game is now non existant. You can say what u say cuz u probably are already very advanced in game but if u were starting just now u wouldnt be saying what ure saying now so calmly

I can say what I say now and would even if I was just starting because I never used these methods in the first place.
I have never used Kanna to grind, and the only thing that has ever stopped me is my own lack of ambition.
Despite being probably one of the most lazy players I'm sitting 5% away from 250, with a legion level of 6500+.

That said, friends who pick up the game and even play for a short period are able to hit where I was in about a year of playing within a month or two.
They work full time, and/or have family/college that they have to deal with as well.
They don't use these methods either. These players aren't "fuxked", they just can't abuse game mechanics anymore. That's it.

Clear answer is now given. The logic behind it is I'm sure that death is supposed to be seen as a punishment.
So even if losing EXP is what is supposed to happen when you die, you aren't supposed to turn that around to gain mesos faster.
It converts the punishment into a reward, which isn't what Nexon intended to happen.

Well ure screwed now since nexon has come up with this smart idea that suiciding to stay on a certain level is a bannable offense, so good luck progressing as a new player on reboot. Oh and dont forget to buy our new royal hairs and boxes and spend 200 dollars just to not get what u were looking for

Progression is still possible. Harder for sure, yes. But it's not like they've completely cut off new players.
With Arcane River Symbols and Level Curves being adjusted to be easier, as well as StarForce etc,
I would expect more changes in the future to help new players play the eternal game of "catch up".

As far as spending money on the game, I wouldn't recommend new players ever do that except for maybe a sole pet.
Take the time to see if you like the game before you drop a bunch of money on it.
