Regarding the 6/20 Unscheduled Maintenance

My friend might even be quitting because of this because the race to the first 200 Xenon will be impossible due to NO MPE (Didn't tell us), NEW EXP SYSTEM (Didn't tell us), and Chimney nerfs (did tell us). Guess which one of those we are taking the best?

Tell your friend to suck it up. Some of us were training at zombies til late 3rd job and gobies til late 18x such as myself and others. You guys have it way better -- I definitely wouldn't complain about how easy training is right now.

We blame Waltzing for all bad things, not Girasol.

The quests and killing Captain Latanica were easy.

It was very snaky to just not TELL us they were doing that too. That's a pretty big deal; it now makes 2x cards almost not worth it.

[MENTION=10355]Girasol[/MENTION], that's pretty low.

Seriously. Someone over there needs to learn to be a bit more transparent. I don't care if it's bad news; if it's bad news, you guys should deal with the repercussions. Just tell us.

There is a valid point in your post, about them not properly telling us about things like 2x exp changes and closing Monster Park Extreme. However you cover it in dramatics with your quitting friends, and how getting to 200 is now "impossible".
Don't be that guy.

Sounds like blaming girasol is the best way to make you feel better.

I'm not blaming Girasol. I'm blaming the entire company for how that was handled. Girasol isn't the only one in the company. However, I DID mention Girasol because s/he has a position with them, and thus can talk to people about how that was handled.

I'm sorry to be that guy. I'm sorry to be the one to point out that this is going to make a lot of newer players, or old players who were content with the EXP gains, want to quit. I'm sorry to notice that there is an extreme lack of EXP gain in trying to get to 160.

But seriously, they need to know what these new change cause, because if they DON'T, they can't and won't change anything.

I wasn't doing anything important, let me tell you. Definetly not... Empressing and starting up a new level guide.

(I hope that 11pm is 11pm PST, because if it's EST, and I lost the last Scar run EVER...)

Let me tell you newbies about the good old days.

The year was 2010. Dual Blades were released. Large scale event exploit. People being banned left and right because Nexon didn't know that they had to increase the speed cap to allow for dual blades to use their skills without being banned for speed hacking. The economy? Destroyed due to the exploit and the bannings of several prominent merchants. The only recourse was a rollback. However, Nexon tried to remedy this situation too late; a week had gone by and nothing was done. That Friday (I'll never forget it) we were alerted that they were going to attempt a ONE-WEEK ROLLBACK.

In two hours, the rollback was done, and in three, we were back in the game, everything fixed.

Those were the golden days; no potential, Nexon still having new game naivete, and rollbacks. Rollbacks everywhere. We used to have a saying: Coffee was spilled at Nexon HQ? ROLLBACK EVERYTHING!

They're not that funny anymore...

Let me be the first to say, Nexon, if your rollbacking skills are so rusty that this isn't done in the amount of time that you're rollbacking (which, for those who cannot count, is 13 hours), I will be dissapointed in you.

My post on the Nexon forums. Surely, I remember the days of old when we trained at such places. However, what happened back then? They had a very high rate of people stopping after 10 minutes due to how difficult it was to level. The problem here is not getting to 200. The problem is that they've made getting to 160 so much harder than it should be. The training curve is backwards; the hell levels are early, and the easy levels are 160+.

How about HS? Did that got 'nerfed' too?

Yes, HS got "nerfed" as well. It works on a seperate +50% exp line.

It just seemed like lashing out to me o.o

Be a bit nicer in the future :]

why do i feel i'll see half my screen covered in "+XXXXXX exp gained" messages.

They are going to find the backlash regardless of you telling them so or not. Mentioning her without having a serious issue to be fixed or something actually worth bothering her for is very selfish and rude.

Beautiful.
That makes the 20% Party Play bonus even more pointless. No way it can make up for exp lost to leech when it's not even affected by HS.

Ugh. This does not make me happy at all. Bishops have become more useless this patch.

And yes, I do agree with the point that this particular change should have been noted.

People wanted leveling to mean something again and we got it. What people don't seem to understand is we're extremely spoiled compared to KMS.

I am rebuilding my Exp calculator page to show the difference. It's SUCKS so much.

Wait what. Which quest is it that gives the new badge?

QQ moar pls.
It's not like anyone is forcing you to play maple, anyways.

Latanica questline in Singapore.

Latanica questline in Singapore.

Who starts the quest? The hobo?

Who starts the quest? The hobo?

Yes.

why do i feel i'll see half my screen covered in "+XXXXXX exp gained" messages.

And the other half will be filled with unncessarily large numbers of damage lines from everyone attacking. Now your whole screen can be filled with even more numbers!

I imagine it'll look something like this:
+ Default monster exp
+ 2x event exp bonus
+ 2x card exp bonus
+ 150% exp coupon bonus
+ 50% HS bonus
+ 15% Merc link skill lvl 2
+ Party bonus exp

Did I miss anything?

Well, on the plus side it means people are less likely to take a lazy leeching bishop in their party due to the diminished benefit from HS vs one that can actually attack and buff on time and whole HoH and SH parties don't come to a standstill when an HSer leaves.
