[In Progress] Hot Time: 12/7

[Justin]

Really hope they're not making all hot days hot times again.

Why is everyone suddenly paranoid about this? The ONLY reason this is a hot time instead of a hot day is because there are cubes and gach tickets in there. Do you seriously think they'd want players with 30+ mule accounts to get over 90 cubes (that work on legendary equips) for free? Get real.

If it's a one time deal, then sure, it makes sense. It's even welcomed, since the rewards are SO MUCH better than regular Hot Days.
The thing is, if they're going to switch Hot Days to Hot Times, then a big chunk of the community won't be able to participate.

So what's the difference between a red cube and a super cube besides the red cube being cheaper?

you mean Black Cube?

Red Cube has the same function as a Super Cube.
Black cube has the function of a Memory Cube where you get to choose between your current potential and the potential generated.

Wow! aroun 2 years have passed since the last hot time, right? o.o

at least I have 2 computers with maple e.e

There was a hot time during the Mihile update.

If this was a Hot Day, everyone here would be rejoicing because I swear, every single one of you has at least 10 accounts.

I have 2. But i never really use the second.

And it would be more appropriate to say those that abuse the hotime have ~20 accounts

Red Cube has the same function as a Super Cube.

It's an enlightening too.

[ChronosXIII]

It's an enlightening too.

Wait what? Where did you find that out?

[Muppy]

The lag is so much that I'm failing in DIPQ due to mobs not showing their dying animation in time.

Add the new spawn rate to the mix and I can't last longer than 10 seconds in the 5th stage of the PQ.

I technically only have one account.
The other account information I have is an ex's and a friend who quit.

Even then, it's only three

And of course the login servers went crazy.

One of my comps dc'ed half an hour before Hot Time, and I could not get it logged back in. Could get all the way to char select, enter PIC, it would tell my alliance I logged in - but it never left the char select screen and eventually client closed. Oh well.

[TrueBlitz]

Hot Time went smoothly for me. Except of course smegaers trying to lag all of scania by spamming the pineapple outta of it.

[Razmos]

Jesus, look at the server status.

It's bad enough having to fight through the lag to grab your box, then having to wait half an hour before you can use it is just.. ew, especially with the servers being as crazy as they are.

And they're still going.

This is how its always been for hot time boxes. I wasn't too surprised when they did that.

[Aggravate]

This server stability is nuts. I pineappleing hate Hot Time events. At least the servers won't fall off a cliff with Hot Days.

[xparasite9]

I'm wondering why they decided to switch back to the Hot Time system, I like the Hot Day system since I could login whenever I pleased.
They want to break record the concurrent user count (it was 140k for GMS I believe)?

Eh maybe they wanted to break the record. If that was their goal though, they failed significantly, at just shy of 58k.
Maybe they just want to get some metrics.

"Hot Days" served a different purpose than Hot Times. They were meant to boost incentive to log in, and hopefully continue playing.
RED hype already kind of did that, so the next step was to inflate the Peak Concurrent Users count by providing a reason for everyone to be on at a specific time.

you know. metrics.

57.8k isn't so bad, considering the drop in players in recent times.

Is anyone else unable to get the stuff from their boxes? I double-clicked mine and it opens without giving me anything. Also, my Maple Point count went from 101 to -5. I'm very lost. Not to mention I can't even enter the Cash Shop. I can attack and talk fine but I can't really do anything else. I'm scared to log off.

EDIT: I disconnected and when I logged back on, my Maple Points reverted back to 0 but I'm still mad at losing my 101 Maple Points. (I was gonna save it up and use the other 100 MP Coupons to get a Sengoku High pass) I guess it was lagging, it's back at -5. Still missing the box and the rewards inside the box though.

EDIT 2: My Maple Points came back.
