APQ stage 2 map changing mid-party

[SaptaZapta]

Describe the problem. Be as specific as possible!:
When APQ party members click Amos to transfer to Stage 2, they might end up on different maps, making it impossible to continue the APQ.

There are three instances of the APQ Stage 2 map, each with a different background - daytime, nighttime, and twilight. Players are sent to the appropriate instance depending on the time of day when they click Amos at the end of Stage 1.
However, if some of the party click before and some after the map switch times, they will end up in different instances. It is impossible to continue APQ unless all six members are on the same map, so that is a failed PQ.

Sorry, no images. I realized this was the cause of the problem only after APQ was called off.

This has also been one of those things that have been around for AGES. Minorproblem really only because the map changes at a set time (i believe). And if you happen to enter the next stage at that time, some people will get the day background and the others will get the night background. Really sucks, but think of it this way: you had perfect timing lucky enough to experience the glitch! :D

Nexon really ought not to be this sloppy. Chances are when one of these "oh it'll only happen 1-to-1,000,000,000" glitches happens, it'll be some system critical error that will completely fk over MS as we know it.

But yeah reiterating on what Worthyness said, you just got super unlucky xD

Agreed. An easy fix would be to have the server select the next map based on either when you entered stage 1 or cleared it.

I've never seen that happen though; that really does take some luck. At what times does it change? I think one is at midnight...
