I liked the patch in some ways, but NEXON always screw things up.
Haunted House 2? I was expecting much more than a stupid storyline which seems written by a 10-year-old kid and can't even be compared to the Jonas Prendergast one and a stupid party quest which can't even be considered a party quest because it doesn't even have stages: you just go there, click the mirror, write Olivia, kill the boss, and goodbye. Doesn't make sense or anything, plus it's boring as hell. But I already made a thread on that so let's not start the same discussion again.
Malaysia was pretty nice - I've been expecting it for a while now, and we finally got it. Though it's a "nerfed" version of it, because the maps aren't like the original version, and I think some quests about killing the bosses are missing (?).
Balrog is a pretty good boss. I enjoy doing Balrog runs with my friends and all. But, as always, NEXON screwed it up, and forgot to add some NPCs. How can you forget something as important as that?? Whatever..
About Dark Tokens, the event was a total failure because of them dropping by Jr. Newties. They should have removed all the tokens / belts in people's inventories during the server maintenance which fixed the bug, and everyone would have been happy. Not many people would have been mad about that because, you know, it's not like one week passed from the patch when they fixed that bug, but only one day or two, I think. Not like people would have lost much from that. But NOOOOOOOOO, there HAVE to be people who abused this glitch and made billions out of all the belts they sold. GG NEXON, this is totally fair.
I love the Witch Tower event. I've done it many times on KMS and even got the hat there. I know the tactic required to do HARD mode so I can do it pretty well. I did it 5 times for the hat, once every day, when I could've just done the NORMAL mode.
You'd think: NEXON didn't screw up here, right?
Wrong. In KMS' Witch Tower event there was a nerfed version of Targa at the end map of the Jump Quest. The version of the nerfed Targa depended from your level. So, for example, if you were level 10, then the nerfed version of Targa with very little HP appeared, and so on.
These nerfed versions of Targa dropped many useful items as good scrolls, useful potions as elixirs, and so on. On GMS, they weren't added. It would have been too good to be nice, true, NEXON America? They were added in the data but their strings weren't even translated, so it makes me think that they purposely didn't add them, or that there was a bug that didn't make them spawn and they didn't even notice that they were supposed to be there. *sigh*
About the permanent CS items, they're great. I'm looking forward to buy them as soon as possible.
This patch just makes me think about HOW MUCH we need Tespia at the moment. NEXON can't do something right: every. single. patch. has. bugs. Some of them major ones (like the Dark Token bug), some of them minor ones, like NPC animations and such (in this case, the 0.77 patch brought BOTH at the same time - e.g.: Gaga in Malaysia, just look at his animations, and he shouldn't even be there in the first place, as the event didn't even start yet).
Well, this one was pretty big, so it was to be expected, but again, if they opened Tespia and managed it well, with MWLB-like submissions, and if it was as hard as getting in the MWLB program to get chosen, it would indeed work A LOT better than just by recruiting 5000 random people, trust me. But oh well, NEXON will not listen so we'll just have to get used to bugged patches.
