Yeah seriously. How do you spend so much time and resources on preparing for the patch... but fail to launch it's release? I don't get it can somebody please explain.
I'm having a hard time believing that you guys were actually getting all crappy lines when you used Violet cubes. Assuming you even used Violet cube. When I used them, although I did get a lot crappy lines, I also got many more good lines. Also, I used less Violet cubes than I would have used red or black cubes in order to obtain 2 good lines on equips. Are you guys trolling? How can a cube that give you SIX lines to choose from be worse than a cube that gives you 3 fixed lines? Seriously makes 0 sense to me.
As @Ivangold stated, nexon makes money off of hackers and dupers. People buy nx or use PayPal to buy in game items and why on earth would Nexon do anything to stop that? They turn their head and allow for it to happen. If this isn't common knowledge just go to ch1 fm and see all the stores selling items for real life money. Report them and see what happens. Absolutely nothing.
As much as I want more people to start playing maple again, it is not worth coming back. Nexon has great new events, 5th job will be amazing, and the new content is breathtaking BUT! Nexon simply cannot properly manage all of that. Their communication with the community is garbage and it's only a matter of time before you, and many others, will get sick of it and stop playing again.
The solo grind you mentioned will be greater than it was before, as it will be much easier to solo literally every boss except one(the new Lucid boss which is only available to the top 0.05% of the population). Training to 200 will be much easier, meaning more solo training since training in a party will slow you down. And if you plan to train after that, you will need more funding which of course requires you to buy nx and fund your character.
Nexon has promised to reduce the p2w(pay 2 win) aspect of the game but has fallen short of reaching their actual goal. They still have way too many shady marketing schemes, they do not take into consideration user-submitted ideas to help improve the economy, and hackers still dominate the free market.
As for the top dps list, I do not know where I can find a reliable one but it won't matter since almost all of them use classes that are fully funded. Which will probably cost you more than $5,000. I hope my reply helped.
Thanks Nexon. It's been about 15 months(about 450 days) since you first released Violet cubes. Since then, there have been MANY threads in which we the community have asked if and when Violet cubes would return. Since then, you have replied to 0 of those threads. You have released a few one-in-a-thousand chances to get maybe 1-3 of those cubes through hot time boxes or, in today's Black Friday special, through and extremely overpriced RNG marketing scheme. If it has not been said before, if you have forgotten, or if you have simply chosen to ignore this, I'll say it again because you should know, you are the worst.
Asking nicely does not get a reply from you. Making polls does not get a reply from you. Making petitions does not get a reply from you. I don't know what will so I will simply just say what's on my mind. I can't believe that after all this time you can't have @KThxBaiNao just say we're never getting them again and put an end to all this needless suspense and distasteful tease.
Since I heard about the migration of EU MS, I had hope that the communication between the community and Nexon would be significantly better but as it turns out, it does not seem like anything has changed. Honestly, I don't know why I am surprised. I don't know how their old community was, but I feel bad for all the European players who now have to put up with this nonsense. This 5th job patch is probably the biggest thing that will happen in GMS and I want you all to know that you're doing a *GREAT* job screwing it up.
New and returning players will start off by dealing with a plethora of bugs, incomplete events, misinformed activities, and who knows what else. And the worst part of it all is that the community is so understanding, yet Nexon refuses to establish a reliable connection in which they can inform us of what's going on. For example, the change done to the daily reset. Yesterday(or 2 days ago, who knows, since this reset thing is so out of control) Nexon had @SavageAce inform us that they reverted the hot time rewards to the previous midnight(PST) reset time. Ok... that's nice I guess but it didn't say anything regarding if the actual game reset would change with it. Nexon made a poll last week in which they asked what time we thought would be best to apply the daily reset and we haven't heard anything regarding that at all.
The lack of communication has been the #1 problem with Maplestory for so long now. To get back on point and stop my rambling(because I could go on and on), I understand there are some that are against Violet cubes but this is not about getting them anymore. It's about letting us know what is to happen with them. It's about Nexon stepping up their game and being more straightforward in how they conduct their business and appeal to the community. This is the general discussion forums so don't be shy to say what's on your mind. Let's make Nexon see this thread and do something about making maple great again(not a trump reference x_x).
