Big Bang patch glitches, surprises, features, comments...

I lost like 10 SP (had to skip adding to Improved Fundamentals, didn't need it anyway) and I guess I'm not the only one with problems installing the client (on other laptop). >>

There is a way to fix this; don't worry, I freaked out the first time it happened to me back in the Tespia version of Big Bang (which it seems they carried over this glitch from to the actual live version), but it can be fixed.

All you need to do is get on another character on the same account, go to the settings where you can change the background quality, sounds/music, etc. Change your background quality to the opposite of what it is (so if it's at Best, put it at Worst), then change your current mode to the opposite (so if it's fullscreen, go to window, or viceversa), then sign out and sign back in and get on the character that is glitched in the map. It should fix the problem and you'll land somewhere in the map, and you won't experience any problems to Galloperas or back. It only happens when going through that first map.

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHHH

Does it happen every time I go through that map? or just once?

Surprised it took me so long to notice it, and even more surprised no one mentioned it yet:

Zombie Ring Effect no longer there. While I consider this a good thing, I'd imagine it's a bug... But I have been only in the high res mode, so I'm not sure if it is an all around change.

Unfortunately it'll happen everytime you're going to Galloperas, but on the way back out it won't occur. And no problem.

I really hope everyone who abuses the Gallopera oversight gets banned. Obvious issue, no excuses.

Lol.

When Claw Machines weren't nerfed in kMS, no-one was banned when they fixed them. It was possible to level up every couple of minutes during 3x/4x .

I got to say, I was REALLY, REALLY glad to notice that they fixed most of the bugs I've reported in Tespia.

Finally, they were able to make a good use of the test server. I guess it wasn't a bad idea to put a 10 daily reports limit in the bug report page. This made it impossible for spammers to send out infinite reports and make sorting out the legitimate reports almost impossible (that's what I think happened in the previous rounds back in 2008).

Also, now that they probably have a bigger development team, it must've been easier to fix all (or almost) the reported bugs.

Looks like my dream finally came true: a Tespia which can REALLY help with making patches less game-breaking and buggy.

Sure, the patch brought other several issues, but I was glad to see they fixed most of ones reported in Tespia. I'm pretty sure that, without it, this patch would have been really bad.

Oh, I noticed that too. It's awesome.

I seem unable to job advance at level 55 with my Dual Blader.

I got to level 54 before the patch and completed the 300 pang / 100 white tail quest, then leveled to 55 after the patch (leveled from 65% in about 12 minutes at Lucidas, which is amazing). I have no SP left. I talked to Lady Syl but she simply tells me to goof off, she has no special dialogue nor any quests for me. The quest window says I’ve done Arec’s part, but it doesn’t tell me what I should do next, like I had forfeited a quest chain mid-way, yet Arec also doesn’t offer me any quests. The forfeit button is grayed out, too. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this bugged?

In Search of the Book of Ancient is back in my 'Available' quests. I thought only 'In Progress' quests would be wiped.
Oh well, gives me something to do until I get my SP reset.

Anyone know how to change guild notices now? >_>

They left out the little button with the pencil on. Still there on the alliance window.

I was so mesmerised watching my exp bar rise that i didn't even notice that.

That kinda sucks in my opinion.

Also, about the Elemental Wands/Staves...
Thank god i checked this thread before buying one (not that i've been able to find one mind you), i've been searching for a Elemental Wand 1 for my Blaze Wizard, it's good thing i couldn't find one.

On the subject of my Blaze Wizard...
Damage before Big Bang = 2000-2500 (at level 70)
Damage after Big Bang = 5000-6000 (10000-11000 on fire weak enemies) and my flame sprite now does 3000+ damage.

I am a happy Blaze Wizard.

It might not be an oversight...

Looking at this: http://global.hidden-street.net/monster/91-100
Quite a few 9x monsters have outrageous EXP values. Galloperas, Elder Wraiths, Slygies, White Mana Monkies...I'm sure there's others in other level ranges.

Notice a trend? They are all world-tour monsters that nexon forgot to change according to BB.

Yeah, someone just tested it and the elemental weapons no longer give a -% penalty to the opposite/holy elements.
JMS kept the elemental bonuses so I hope that this is just a glitch.

Made a thread on the nexon forums: http://forum.nexon.net/MapleStory/forums...29664.aspx
Some of the most reported issues are the Evan SP situation so multiple threads on the subject may help to get their
attention.

Hopefully nexon can make an announcement if it was intentional. Some players are still buying the wands at inflated prices with the big bang hype. =/

Oh lookie here Nexon just ignored us, this is so extremely pineappleed. I figure they "worked" all night for BB, but they really need to hop on it and address all their player's problems.

hey now.......don't be so cruel......... >.>

Maple crashed when I leveled to 19 on my warrior mule. I hope it doesnt crash every time I level. Lost 30 minutes of the ring event...

I was disconnected for the hack reason after making the 3rd Job Advancement (level 70) on my Dual Blader.
I completely panicked, thinking i had been wrongfully banned. (again)
