i "love" the people who know the game is doing **** and just make "fun" of other who say that game is doing ****
when nexonNA says maintenance/update/patch on xx-xx-xxxx it will take x hours things should be done and working 80%+ , if not revert and set the time/date for other time when things get to work
we are geting broken content + unscheduled maint anyway (maplers in GMS dosent have voice/power to change it)
or be like boredphine and search for arguments around untill gamble adiction calmsdown on next DMT/maravel/philo
This isn't even Nexon NA's fault most likely. More likely they get the patch files from Korea, without the means to test them properly.
Then they estimate how long it will take based on what they got. Then problems show up because Korea isn't as familiar with the GMS client.
Nexon tells Korea that problems showed up and has to wait for them to fix stuff.
They could just set patch notes for an hour or two out of what they expect it to take.
But here's the real kicker. Nexon is actually being... TRANSPARENT about this. Exactly what maplers are asking for.
What do they get in return for this transparency? Nothing but flak. Gee, I wonder why they're hesitant to tell us things.
Like YinYangX said, I'd much prefer this than them put a server up and hope for the best. At least they're trying to catch some stuff without making us do it.
As far as bugs making it in and needing unscheduled maint anyway despite them doing this, again, this is probably because they lack proper equipment/time/staff for proper testing.
Nexon doesn't need to be defended on much, but there's not much they can do here other than open up test servers before major patches.
Which for a company that is bleeding money, probably isn't the best use of their funds.
Patience is a virtue. They care or MS would have been dead years ago. Maybe you should apply to Nexon if you think you can develop patches better?
Feel free to hate me, I'm just here to tell Nexon that I think it's a good policy.
I highly doubt anyone will agree with me and I'm not here to change minds.
I just want Nexon to know that not everyone is mad about this.
