I put the link after clicking "Image" but it does nothing

Make sure you're not using the album link like this:

Use the direct image, like so:
http://i.imgur.com/NnSAcLL.png


A direct image ends with ".png", ".jpg", ".gif", or ".jpeg"
This forum automatically fills in the image tags when it detects a valid image URL that ends in one of the image file extensions above.

That's TMS if I'm not mistaken (note the Chinese), which isn't the head branch. KMS has four ring slots:

TMS is widely regarded as overpowered, such as using the Breath of Divinity ring and a 1-minute cooldown on Heaven's Door to achieve a legal god-mode and solo Lucid.

I believe only TMS has these extra ring slots available, and I can't find any information on when the change occurred.

Is there at least a private test server? Large patches such as this one always seem to have catastrophic results. It gives me the impression that the Global team doesn't even have the opportunity to test out their own changes on any large scale.

There is, I played on it when I visited Nexon during the community summit (to try out the Damien fight and the revamped Aran/Evan, which hadn't been released at that point), and Arwoo was playing it recently on the Livestream to show off the new 5th job skills. I have no knowledge about what the full capabilities are, but I know it exists.

Some bugs are difficult to test without a live server, however. A test server also does not account for server traffic, difficulties in the network, and so on. In addition, some things work fine in a test environment, but break when they go live for no apparent reason. There is no sure-fire way to test a game for all possible bugs, and there are a variety of different methods game companies use to test their products.

People can help alleviate the bugs by filing detailed reports and being helpful when dealing with them. It can be frustrating, but questioning the QA tester's abilities isn't going to help anything.
Or you can apply to help out yourself. There are currently three QA positions available at Nexon; a live tester, a QA lead, and a QA analyst.
Other than that it's best to calm down and work with people to get things fixed, rather than fight them on why it's not fixed already.

Full Spread?

The skill increases the amount of missiles you fire, and missiles are one of the largest sources of your DPS. Even with the reduced damage, you're dealing around 3x as much damage per missile than you usually do.

No one simply cares anymore which is a bad sign.

On the contrary, this was being discussed on the Discord last night. As noted, the channels themselves do not appear to be crashing (Nexon sees them as up on their end, Southperry shows them as up), nor do the crashes appear to be consistent (I logged in to verify if Scania-9 was up).
