Last year they had a Q&A, but the questions were asked by the host, and the answers (although given in Korean and then translated into English) were clearly pre-rehearsed. Needless to say, none of the questions were the "hard questions".
I doubt they'll actually give the microphone to the audience this time.
And yet, Nexon is aware of our hard questions. SavageAce's memos regularly mention them. He does not give us answers, but it's clear that he (and "the team") know what our concerns are. They're not answering either because they don't have a decision yet, or because they want to keep it secret. Neither of which will change at maplefest.
However, it's not all bad news. Looking at last year's version of this thread, http://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/19287/if-you-got-the-mic-at-the-maplestory-fest-q-a/p1, quite a few issues have been addressed since. We got bonus stats (flames) and 25 star cap, we got fairy bros gifts, we got more character slots, we got told the rates of "loot box" items, and we got EU Reboot.
Hopefully, in the coming year, more issues will be resolved. Maybe even some serious ones. With or without being raised at MapleStory Fest.
Hey Riza, Its not nice to call out "ms2 discord is the best discord" since you are on that thin line of a mod terminating your forums account which could affect your Forum account to MapleStory's 2 page.
Second of all, you know the Staff team will only pull out "hot topics" that are going through maple rn and since your terminated from the discord, you kinda dont know whats going on with the game. Mainly whats going to be talked about is the "Maple Adventures update" W/ the new class coming out and changes going along with the game with live feedback with the selected players who got accepted to the event. (yes they may still bring up the topic of trying to fix the lag but first they need to fix their security and get a new anticheat program that could stop the hackers since they are half the reason why the game lags so badly. Then some people are going to bring a topic up on a Huge Server merg since after the world transfer event, everyone owns now Bera and we have so many dead servers that its time to fix that.)
Now going along with Zhong and his ban. You should know the community kinda controls whats going on and due to the issue that Zhong did, Nexon Staff will not bring anything onto the table about it. The only time they would change the TOS because of that issue is if it effected half of the community and players go into war from it. You should know that last event they did talk about fixing the issue of the game with Raytings and Aru, but things will slowly change but we wont really notice it till in a few years.
All we really need to is wait and see if anything happens, nothing happens, then that's that. We really cannot make a huge difference unless we get a job at nexon but some people would be praying after that if we so get accepted and surviving there.
Automatic extraction during combat sounds like it could be laggy or buggy or both.
I think a more reasonable request is to be allowed to extract normally outside of Ardentmill.
Yes, you would still have to pause in your killing to extract, but at least you won't have to leave your map and possibly lose it.
