[Alert] Scheduled Server Maintenance - 01.03.2012

[Justin]

Was gonna say...twitter isn't something I use or care about. They should be posting that stuff on their main website. Not these useless social networking pieces of crap.

[Elven Emily]

Pretty sure it was not in KMS.

Why would you have heard about a surprise having been planned? Nexon doesn't announce surprises. They're server side so they wouldn't be in any data extractions. And why in the pineappleing hell would they give this as a response to massive hacking and duping? Just because those have been the most pivotal things in players' live's for the past few doesn't mean Nexon gives a rat's ass about it, let alone enough to randomly throw events at.

This is the exact same crap they've been planning to run. Verbatim. This has nothing to do with anything. It's just what they had always planned to do for this specific update and this month's events.

I'm aware that it's server-sided. That's the point I was making. Basically, we have no way of knowing whether it was planned, or not. It was never previously announced, so it could've been spontaneous OR it could've been planned.

I haven't heard of any MapleStory version doing DAILY Hot Time events though... it SEEMS like compensation to me. And since when has Nexon been all about "surprises"? lmao. They're not dumb, they know what's going on (they always have, tbh). Perhaps they just don't wanna talk about (yet, or ever).

EDIT:

@ Eos: I hope whatever's going on in your personal life is bad enough to warrant that post. Thanks for blocking me from posting on the thread, not sure what you were trying to achieve there.

Every day Hot Time events and 2x? No mention of the familiars issue? What the-

I don't think they have to say anything, usually they patch things without telling people. Such as mine hack.

Thanks for that clarification. That definitely means they will suck.

[Foxino]

Wow. I saw this and was like ... yay finally SC!~
..
but then i saw..

3 Hours

.. this can't be right?..
.
And then, noticed nothing about the state the game is in.

okay, i'm somewhat looking forward to the hot-time. But the 2x? are you pineappleing serious..
brb rage~

Spoiler

WTH
THAT IS THE pineappleING PROBLEM YOU GOD DAM IDIOTS... PEOPLE COULD NOT pineappleING TRAIN IN THE pineappleING 2X WHEN YOU GUYS WAS OFF ON pineappleING BREAK LEAVING THE GAME TO GO TO THE pineapple DAM DOGS. AND NOW YOU COMPLETELY IGNORE THE STATE THE GAME IS IN BUT STILL THROW BONES IN THE CASH SHOP SIF WE CAN ENJOY THE GAME!?

sigh~

And oddly enough, they seem to listen a tad more to their twitter than other sources...

[Eos]

We have no way of knowing whether it's one way or the other.

I haven't heard of any MapleStory version doing DAILY Hot Time events... it SEEMS like compensation to me. Since when has Nexon been all about "surprises"? lmao. They're not dumb, they know what's going on (they always have, tbh). Perhaps they just don't wanna talk about (yet, or ever).

You're an idiot. Point blank.
Nexon does "surprise" events, every month since the dawn of time. Every single month they do maintenances to activate the content for that week's random whatever. They almost never tell us in advance what it is unless it's something so huge they're trying to build hype for it. If it were compensation, it would say compensation, because Nexon does not miss any opportunity to point out how they're going out of their way to do something to make up for failures.

What you haven't heard of could clearly fill a sea. You're not worth further attention. Shoo.

[byakugan]

You'd have to be an absolute idiot to think any part of this had even the remotest connection to the hacking.
It's been scheduled since mercedes was released.

I totally doubt everything in that list was scheduled, daily hot times and free golden temple for everyone?. Just because some of these stuff were scheduled doesn't escuse them from not attending current's situation. Heck, hackers are everywhere and they decide to hold 2exp events daily?. I feel insulted.

You can doubt it like the other twit but it won't change the fact Nexon does nothing on a whim without broadcasting that it was an extra special thing they threw in because of X Y and Z so that everyone understands just how grateful they should be that their overlords are throwing them a piece of rancid meat while the house burns down with them in it.

It's their standard operating procedure to milk money out of a feature then make it more readily available to the plebes in an ever increasing over-indulgence so that the best is never best for long before something comes along to make it look boring and ordinary.

[maplefreak26]

The Golden Temple will be open, with free entry.
There will be 2x EXP every weekday from 4-6 PM Pacific.
Everyday Hot Time events at 4:30 PM Pacific (1/5 - 1/11)

I did not expect these 3 at all.

[MuscleWizard]

free entry or free unlimited entry

if its free unlimited entry then its a smart move on their part because they are offering a decent alternative training location to their players while they try and figure out how to fix the familiar problem.

please tell me all the maps there are instanced, if they're not it just gives hackers more options as well

edit: nvm

[Liteness]

[Icho]

I keep telling YOU !

They are going to delay DS release.

[Dark Link]

Hot Time every day at 5:30pm MST!? God dammit, I raid during that time!

90% of your posts sound like you're PMSing hardcore... js.

Oh and I'm with the other "twits" that think that not all of that stuff was completely scheduled for weeks or whatever the hell you're going on about.

[TrueBlitz]

It's nice to see Golden Temple open again and free of charge (still questioning this) after all these new Cannoneers and Merecedes hogging all the favorable spots. I would much rather prefer training there at Lvl 110+ than at LHC for said reasons.

These "Everyday" Hot Time events are a mixed bag for me. Unless the rewards are nerfed beyond worth getting them, I usually don't like servers being all jammed and packed up during the hours of me training.

2x Exp event every weekday is expected from Nexon. I'm not gonna bother asking why Nexon took this long to respond back and why no mention of all these exploits/hacks, as under the assumption that Nexon's probably working on these issues as we speak.

[LittlePrincess]

I bet hottime will give that envelope that has a chance to give cool things and usually gives fame and some personality usable that gives +5 personality points - certianly nothing exciting for everyone like free character slots and level up potions.

And if free entry means multiple times a day by one character without doing anything I'll be suprised. I bet they give that quest that says guess what golden temple is open go try it (one free ticket) and then the quest of recycled tickets for multiple entries.

And 2x in the middle of the afternoon.... well I'll be at work every day. They must be trying to appeal to kids again.
