Well realistically you should be shooting for 100% crit rate regardless, so I would say pick a skin where you like the look of criticals, because I don't think this will be implemented.

The idea behind the anti hack police is a good one, but the implementation is seriously flawed. It fails to catch many botters and hacker, and has an alarmingly high rate of false positives. Even though these almost never result in anything other than a DC, its still far too high for a system that is integrated with the game.

It needs to be looked at and redone in my opinion

Use GameLauncher.exe instead of the Nexon Launcher.

Using the "exit" button on the Login screen takes you back to Region Select.

While this works, Nexon should add the functionality to Nexon Launcher considering they are pushing hard to make that the goto way to launch and update the game

Captchas are a must in my opinion, as well as 2 factor authentication.

I can't believe the way GMS players treat new players. At least those who comment on the forum have a closed mind and don't want to discuss the subject. Was my first publication and I take the worst of impressions.

@xAiolos - The community is actually quite pleasant overall, you just have no idea the history surrounding this topic on these forums. I'll do my best to give you a brief history of why people seem so negative about this idea. Bear with me, because at first it won't be immediately apparent what the connection is.

So last year sometime someone on our forums went around campaigning for Nexon to implement a preBB server. He had some support, much in the same way that Daxterbeer has some support for AO, but not enough to get anywhere. Nexon continued to ignore him, but he kept making more and more threads on the subject. Eventually it got to the point of being spam, which made people upset over seeing it so much and in so many threads (since it was sometimes interjected rather forcefully into unrelated threads). This made people mean, and it turned into a very toxic discussion topic. It kept getting worse until Nexon eventually had to make a new rule banning any discussion of legacy maplestory servers period. However threads kept getting created and tensions rose higher and higher to a breaking point, with many people being downright hostile. Ever since then he did stop spamming the threads by and large and overall its better on the forums because of it (in my opinion), but because of the extremely high tensions that occurred, people who have contributed to the GMS forums for a while have become very wary of any behavior that is similar to that, because we don't want to go through another fiasco like that again. Tensions were way too high, people were accusing and being accused all the time of completely ridiculous nonsens and overall it was not pleasant for anyone on the forums.

Now, to tie this in to AO. Daxterbeer has been campaigning for AO to be brought to GMS for a while now, and he does have some (rather a lot from what I have seen) support for bringing it over. It started out as a single thread, then a few more, but entirely manageable on the old forums. It wasn't spam. Nexon kept quiet on the issue and he eventually let it almost die. More recently, he started bringing it up again, in more and more threads where he felt it was relevant. This kept going on until the CM, @KThxBaiNao told him that NexonNA had no current plans to bring AO to GMS. For a lot of people that was good enough, and they felt that the issue should be dropped. But Daxterbeer kept bringing it up again and again, creating multiple threads about the issue and somewhat forcefully throwing it into threads that weren't really related to AO at all (like the threads on nebulites) (sound familiar?), and people started to get annoyed as they saw the issue as being over. This kept going on and some people got more and more upset at seeing his comments about AO, until one of GMS's game directors, @OneLetter stepped in with a definitive NO for AO. He clearly stated that they will not be implemented in GMS (without giving a reason). That should have been enough, but Daxterbeer kept posting more and more about AO and trying to convince GMS to bring them over. Its mirroring pretty closely what happened on our old forums with the preBB legacy server discussions.

As people got more and more upset with seeing these threads, Daxterbeer started posting less and less about anything else, until the bulk of his comments and threads are about bringing over AO to GMS. This causes some people to associate seeing his forum name with a topic that should have been laid to rest a while ago, and they automatically let their tensions and emotions rise.

I'm simplifying a bit, but the rather hostile reaction you experienced in this thread is just people who are being wary about having the forums locked down with incredibly high tension and anger about a subject that should be left to die.For some people they are so tired of seeing this come up that they don't even stop to think that the poster might be an EMS player and will have no idea of why its getting so annoying over here. We are sorry that you had a negative experience, but please try to understand that there was quite a bit of history behind these reactions.
