Thanks for the insight. I'm just amazed how broken this game is and we still have a surviving community on such a thin string.
There's "taking so long" and there's "sweeping under the rug".
Some things never get fixed. They just keep telling us "we're looking into it" and "the team is aware" until we stop asking.
Some things get fixed and then become unfixed. Exploits are blocked and then become unblocked at the next patch. Why, even the Santa boxes, that had a coin limit instated last year, suddenly had no limit when they were re-enabled this year. And I'm supposed to believe Nexon is not disorganized?
"Holiday season"? They're like this all year round.
I'm a professional programmer. I've worked on projects as old and as big as MapleStory. I know that things don't have to be this slow or this messy. In fact, if we had let a patch go live with as many bugs - or as serious bugs - as Nexon lets MapleStory have, heads would roll and lawsuits would fly.
But Nexon has no contract with its customers. We can't sue them for incompetence, so they allow themselves to hire too few people and not give them the tools, time, and procedures they need to to their job right.
And yet KThxBaiNao would have us believe that none of this is happening. We have a company full of intelligent, competent people, with the best intentions towards the community and the game - and yet they have to be pushed every step of the way for any change that should have been done years ago (like the Magnus restrictions), and for every player caught in a mistake (like the false bans that KThxBaiNao is famous for getting overturned). How come?
I'm just so sick of how this company is taking advantage of the fact some of us players love mapletstory so muchWith the whole Fredrick situation, I think a lot less people will be buying NX moving forward. You lose Legendary Potential with good stats, perfectly scrolled and your compensation is Maple Points.
that they think it can just slide. How long has it been since Princess No was glitched, Magnus has become worse.
Codex is ruined. Santa boxes being limited to 10? You must be joking, I mean at least 100 would make more sense.
There is just so many problems with Nexon, its really hard to show them support.
Honestly you should've known the nerf to the santa boxes was coming, I don't understand why it wasn't capped at 30 coins though.
What I'm more upset about is that this happens with literally almost every coin shop we get. There is always a source of coins that Nexon didn't even pause to think about, so its uncapped. Allowing a few people with no life to gather enough coins to buy out the shop on what is actually an exploit (considering it is always, always patched), while then turning around and saying "Nope, f**k the rest of you, you have to grind your life out to get as many coins over the next few weeks that these guys got in a few hours."
No rollbacks ever come anymore to stop like this. No measures are ever taken beforehand to ensure it doesn't happen again and again and again. Never. Nexon doesn't seem to actually care. If they did we wouldn't face this problem with every single coin shop. If they did we would be getting rollbacks when it did happen so that no one would get an unfair advantage in this game due to having been able to devote dozens of hours to farming coins before whatever limit was forgotten about is implemented in a hotfix.
Mutual feelings, it's to be expected.
I'm not mad or angry, Nexon. I'm just disappointed. I understand that the boxes should have had a limit on them in the first place, but that is not the fault of the players that no one thought to double check to make certain there was a limit in place. And, as I said before, you are once again taking measures that only punish and inhibit those who could not, or are not able to, farm and open literally thousands of boxes in the day and night leading up to today's maintenance.
