I have been trying to log on for the past HOUR, keep getting error messages, with the update stalling the few times it gets that far. Then I finally managed to complete the update download, only for it to crash and require me to start it over. It seems EVERY time you make a lengthy update, it takes AT LEAST two hours after the estimated completion time for the game to be playable. WHY NEXON, WHY?
So you'll give us a pittance in compensation, say "we appreciate your patience" (though we are NOT patient, we are ANGRY) and repeat the same thing next time, NEVER even CONSIDERING trying to fix the problem.
When I saw the long list of things you intended to do in ONE updating session, I knew this would happen. You try to do too much in too short a time. And you cannot tell me you didn't know there'd be an overwhelming surge of players trying to log in when you gave the all clear.
Worst of all, every time I log on hoping for info on the problem, I get to see the promos showing how great this new update is, which I can't even PLAY!
It's been a long, tiring day, and I just want to play the game, but all I get is aggravation and headaches with this buggy setup for an update you have planned for moths, yet somehow were unprepared to install. I know my rants will fall on deaf ears, but I truly hope you take this into consideration. Players aren't "patient", they're "angry".
The emergency maintenance says they're still looking into a Nodestone-related bug, and until they fix it, Nodestones gained from the Goo Gachipon are unusable. Nodestones gained from other sources can still be used.
If it makes you feel better, you aren't the only one. I have 4 of them I can't use.
Mmm yes, save points would help, maybe the option to leave and resume where you left off, instead of having to do the entire !@#$% thing over when it glitches
It's called the "Scunthorpe Problem", and Maple Story is far from the only online game that has it.
Ironically, some games have profanity filters that can even be worse, like turning "hello" into "hecko" or "teaspoon" into "teasfecesn" , or even "cl***" instead of "class" (***uming, of course, that the filter doesn't outright censor the whole message and automatically ban you from the board)
