Shh. Don't be giving them ideas.

[TugboatWilly]

hopefully this fixes all the disconnects.

Seconding but hoping that they'd at least address the whole DC'ing issue.

[CrazyForDex]

Whelp, there goes my coin farming for a few hours.

[ChronosXIII]

Uh-huh...

I'm honestly expecting some kind of unscheduled maintenance that will turn these pots into their untradeable, NPC-for-1-meso types now.

[Elven Emily]

Literally just finished my first Kaiser quest after 2nd job. Almost as good exp as Lumi's storyline.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the moment where I dced on my Kaiser on my way to the temple right after using Air Lift >.<

[VerrKol]

Annoying timing, but hopefully this stops my Kaiser from constantly dcing.

[InvictHero]

[CroM]

The dcing problem is much bigger than the reverse drop rate. If they leave this problem any longer, I don't think anyone is going to try to logon anymore.

Anyways, reverse gears are meh these days with the new nova gear (and of course, empress gear). Nexon should just hand them out like candies to lure ppl back into the game.

I wouldn't be shocked if they did nerf it, but Reverses really aren't good enough to justify it.

[Chilly]

The second I saw that scrolling notice, I jumped to grab as many Stars as possible across my accounts. Something feels like it will happen to them or the Generators or Treasure Island. Fixing the DC while CCing would be nice, but of course they said they fixed it already (specifically the Azwan variant), so no hopes up there.

[SaptaZapta]

Well.
It could be fixes for the dc'ing and the "firewall or sc" errors.
It could be fixes for the weird class-boss-fight thing.
And it could be "fixing" Treasure Island.

I know what my money's on. But I can always hope. Surprise me, Nexon!

[CarrionCrow]

Maybe they wanna fix the craptastic Class Certification quest thing.

[VerrKol]

It's really npcing them and the pots that is the problem. I can get ~20m / 15min + AEE, stamps, and necro weapons. I don't know if it's really worth nerfing, but they should probably make the pots u/t at least.

[DRK]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I would like if it was this. The event seemed interesting and the reward was promising,
so it's a shame that it doesn't work properly.

The rewards are fine. The wholesale farming is a problem. Making everything untradeable is a horrible solution. My poor maxed inventory is already full.

What is needed to prevent wholesale farming is to enforce the star generator rules (not let you get one if you haven't collected 100 dusts first, not let you send to yourself, not let you send to the same char twice) or just remove those boxes. 2 visits a day per char, that you take the trouble to collect dusts on, seems fair enough.

[warustar]

They're probably going to, yet again, have the same login problems even after this maintenance, and leave us in misery when they go on vacation.
Seriously though, the least they could do at this point is keep the server healthy and running before they leave. I hope this maintenance fixes that.. >_>
