Another level cap increase before 5th job?Currently there are no plans for the 5th Job Advancement but there will be updates aimed at high level characters, including level cap increases.
I don't think that's as big of an issue as they might think.Making decorative items permanent may inconvenience players due to the lack of inventory space allowed for storing those types of items.
Quests will be gradually added to the non-KMS content - namely, World Tour areas - in the near future.The version of Masteria from before the 2012 revamp will be put back into the game sometime early next year.Ninja Castle is undergoing a revamp so it focuses on characters that are Lv. 160 and above, as well.Interesting. Glad to see some new 160+ content as well.Ninja Castle will return sometime early next year.
I am excited and scared at the same time. I am diving in now...
Just add a "Simplified Tooltip" Hotkey and then add Soul Weapons. Not a good reason AT ALL not to include them.The truth is, if you look at the stats, Soul Weapons aren't particularly good. If enough players want the Soul Weapon system we will consider putting it back in, but keep in mind it will make the weapon tool tip even longer. We want to make sure this isn't too great of an inconvenience to the player community.
!!!!!!!!!!The version of Masteria from before the 2012 revamp will be put back into the game sometime early next year.
I suppose that will be nice, but will we ever be able to fuse without NX?Nebulite Boxes will become available in the NLC NPC shop sometime after January.
It will work out well, because it's what we have wanted ALL ALONG.We're starting to investigate making this kind of change. In the RED update Jett, Dual Blades, and Cannoneers are now able to share their Cash Shop inventory with other Explorers. If this change works out well, we will review the possibilities for other job classes and will consider expanding the list of job classes that can share.
Increase the cube drop rate. Do they even realize just how many cubes it actually takes to get something to the rank and stats that you want? One cube every ten bosses is so useless, even if they are regular cubes. Also, make them easier to craft. Jesus.We're trying to have more permanent ways to lessen the pay-to-win aspects of the game, such as by having the new Craftsman and Meister cubes drop directly from bosses instead of only being craftable. We're also trying to have various items associated with pay-to-win available outside of the Cash Shop, hopefully expanding on this in future updates.
BULL pineappleING pomegranateRare items are not tradable so as to keep the game balanced. Also, trade is limited to prevent hacks or accidental trades. While we understand this may be frustrating, this system was designed to keep your rare items safe.

It was nice reading the responses from the team, and seeing the thought processes behind their choices. I wish some answers weren't so vague, but at least this is a small step towards transparency. Cheers, Nexon. Ya did good (I think)
Nebulite Boxes will become available in the NLC NPC shop sometime after January.
Neat!
"Nebulite Boxes will become available in the NLC NPC shop sometime after January."
Woot.
Yes, frustration totally describes my feelings of having to pay you to use my items the way i want perfectly.Originally Posted by Nexon
Making items untradeable doesn't prevent hacks. You really think hackers aren't going to hack accounts if they know a majority of things on it are untradeable? Of course, they aren't going to hack accounts if they know everything is item locked, which is a huge f'ucking difference.
Making the game balanced was the only answer you needed, but having to pay you has nothing to do with balance. If you wanted balance, making everything account shareable would have more than sufficed.
Also, if the reason for it was to remain profitable as a business, what the hell is the problem with being honest about it? It's the truth isn't it?

[ITEMS] Why can't non-NX items be shared across all characters in an account? Why are so many items untradeable or tradeable only with a Sharing Tag or Scissors of Karma? If I earned an item, I think I should be allowed to trade it between characters on my account.BULL pomegranate.undefined ANNA / TEAM LEADER

Keep rare items safe from moving it to one of my other characters?!
[HACKS / CS] How come you don't ban well-known hackers? You know, the ones who openly talk about hacking and brag about not getting banned?More like never.SENIOR GM BORSHAM / CUSTOMER SUPPORT
We investigate all hacking reports, and once verified, we take the appropriate action. These do take time to investigate, and thus action may not be instantaneous.
Wow never expected answers to the questions. Most of the answers are not bad either, better than the usual bullpomegranate they used to give.
It seems like there will be some interesting changes coming next year looks pretty good.
Ninja Castle revamp/return, hopefully better pets, easier access to nebulites. Improvement of non KMS content. Old Masteria back, possible JETT rebalance, no more nx books for Evan. Nice.
lol who ever complained about thatMaking decorative items permanent may inconvenience players due to the lack of inventory space allowed for storing those types of items. However, in the future we will be hosting promotions that will allow you to purchase permanent decorative items.
Wow, it seems like they actually tried. Most of the responses seem positive to the general public.
I laughed so hard at the Costumer Support guy though, his responses sound exactly the same as automated responses to tickets.
I am glad to hear that Ninja Castle is returning.
Hopefully they don't pineapple it up too badly.
I miss the jump quest and finding toads.
Though it's not a promise, I couldn't help but feel hopeful when the question about hair/face style coupons came up. Still reading.
"Why can't non-NX items be shared across all characters in an account? Why are so many items untradeable or tradeable only with a Sharing Tag or Scissors of Karma? If I earned an item, I think I should be allowed to trade it between characters on my account."
"Rare items are not tradable so as to keep the game balanced. Also, trade is limited to prevent hacks or accidental trades. While we understand this may be frustrating, this system was designed to keep your rare items safe."
Actually, you could protect your items using Item Guard (which was bought using mesos before they changed it). The real point of untradeable items is to create revenue for Nexon, but okay.
"[ITEMS] Why aren't decorative Cash items permanent, like in KMS?"
"Making decorative items permanent may inconvenience players due to the lack of inventory space allowed for storing those types of items. However, in the future we will be hosting promotions that will allow you to purchase permanent decorative items."
Again, it's to create revenue.
"[ITEMS] The Nebulite Box drop rate is pretty abysmal. Nebulites seemed to be a good way for all players to become stronger when they first came out, but now they're very rare because they almost never drop. Can you increase the drop rate for the boxes or add more ways to get them?"
"Nebulite Boxes will become available in the NLC NPC shop sometime after January."
This interests me greatly.
"[SYSTEMS/ OPTIONS] The word filter is way too strict. In addition to making the filter less strict, can you either have a toggle option to turn it on or off on my own client, or improve the system so it doesn't censor parts of normal words?"
"The word filter has been updated in the RED update, and we are working to make it even better in the future."
You can't say party or event. That's going to be difficult to work around.
Very disappointed at the responses to the untradeable items/permanent NX item questions. No one is concerned about running out of NX inventory space as a result of having too many permanent NX items... and we can use the meso item guards to keep our untradeable items safe if they were made tradeable, we don't need you restricting them in order to do that.
Looks like they spent a lot of time doing this though and I appreciate the effort they went to. Looks like they have a good patch planned for January/February ('early next year'), a lot of the things listed are supposedly being adjusted then.
Rolled my eyes so hard at this. Did they forget that Safety Guards at the cost of mesos exist?Originally Posted by Nexon
Fixed.Originally Posted by Nexon
Even if someone runs out of space, I wouldn't put it past Nexon to release a "Expand your Cash shop tab!" coupon via NX means either.
Wut.. was it really that problematic to learn? I'd be happy if at the very least they fixed our Equlibrium Mode.. e.g. lower cooldown on Light/Dark switch to 30~45 seconds or so, cus y'know, it doesn't take even a min to switch in KMS.[CLASSES] Why'd you change Luminious's story and gameplay from the KMS version? They seemed cooler there!
ANNA / TEAM LEADER
When Luminous was put into KMS, dividing his Good and Evil sides caused problems for many players. We decided to resolve the issue by making it easier for new players to try out Luminous. We understand that changing Luminous' character is disappointing to those who liked his original incarnation- we will keep this in mind the next time we integrate KMS content.
Remove "% chance to ignore XX damage too" & such please, cus they're sure as hell are not useful.With the RED update, facial expressions and Accuracy stats are no longer in the list of Potential stats you can get.
Good fix, but I don't think obtaining them only via a single box via RNG is a good idea due to how many Nebs there are. I was thinking maybe something like how Master Glyph shops work in TERA. Have a single Neb rank, but have it so that you can either buy RNG Neb boxes for a random one, or buy a Neb of your choice at higher costs via boss ETC.UNAGON / DESIGN

I rather look forward to these update(s) that are coming early next year. Shame the new cubes are so infrequently dropped, though. I've done 8 Zakums and 6 Krexels on my Xenon, and only gotten 1 cube, which was on my first Zak. The Cubic Shards used for crafting cubes seem rather rare as well.
Seems they're finally taking more steps forward than backwards. In some areas, anyway.
Remind me again exactly which bosses were "rollbacked" in RED?Many types of boss monsters are being rolled back to levels before Unleashed in the RED update.
Funny that every "Login/Disconnection" response just keeps saying it's on our end and not theirs. "Either your computer / internet connection / etc is clearly the problem with Maple crashing."
Most of their answers made me really disappointed. They either gave half-assed answers or they dodged the main point of the question entirely.
