GMS patches are planned months in advance
If they are known for months, why we can't get specified patch notes with a week anticipated, or at least 2 or 3 days for big updates? Sometimes we get it in middle of maintenance, and other ones, are just incomplete, and we have to test 'em in-game, or read them on related pages, like reddit.
I actually still have many things to do at maplestory. I do almost everyday, what you say plus
* Daily Kritias Missions and sometimes Invasion (Just 10 or 5 minutes, enough to get 1000 points) to get Weekly resets & help guildies.
* Tower of Oz, I like this content a lot, and trying to get higher number of floors as possible. Personal record, like floor 45.
* Farm Lachelein for Arcane orbs, not much time, like 20 or 30 mins til I get bored.
* Onwards to Masteria (This one like for 2 days lol, since I'm just doing it, i didn't do it when it was released)
* Commerci solo voyages (One or two extra cubes, for obvious reasons)
* Practice for high difficult bosses (at least for me, there are ones i can't beat still)
And this is pretty much time, I don't do them everyday, cause gosh, it would last like 10 or 12 hours to do all of them and its like NOPE.
I need to rest too, lol. I still have fun at Maplestory. If you don't, well not everything is HIGH RANGE, getting MESO, or anything, that are things that I actually do, but new content I still can improve or just finish is still fun. I get fun doing as many stuff as I can, or chatting or bossing with guildies.
I actually like the way Maplestory is doing their content. I just dislike the connectivity issues, that Maplestory still have to improve.
