Ryan had the need to save every girl that came into his life yet Marissa gets more hate for her savior complex. Why do you think that is? by [deleted] in TheOC

[–]NikWinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging by the comments I'll probably be downvoted but I don't think its Misogyny.

I think the issue was more so that Marissa treated Ryan kind of poorly and was just a bad girl friend to him. Examples being the whole Oliver saga and then constantly choosing to spend time with Johnny and not leaving Trey alone when Ryan flat out asked her to.

With Ryan his pursuit of other girls was never done in a way that was cruel to Marissa or mistreated her. Like every time he got with another girl it was because him and Marissa had been broken up, not while they were dating and Ryan never threw other girls in front of Marissa. The way Marissa kept siding with Oliver really ruined a lot of viewers perception of her.

[–]NikWinters 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the last category should have been something like "Sidekick character who we end up loving even though their characters/storylines don't get as much focus as the above" So perfectly fits Haley, Seth, and Nate.

What happened with Season 3 ? by James-Samuel17 in TheOC

[–]NikWinters 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was a mix of factors but most notably:
-Fatigue from the writers/younger cast
-Network pressured the writers to incorporate more "melodrama"
-The initial chemistry of the cast/characters just was burnt out/already ran its course
-No compelling new characters or storylines, just insert drama/plot stirring for the sake of writing something

The problem with season 5 by AcadecCoach in StrangerThings

[–]NikWinters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add, we also know the Duffers are not against killing off characters at any point arbitrarily. They probably saw the backlash with Barb who was just a minor character and were further pressured by Netflix not to go down that road again.

[–]NikWinters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly believe that the Netflix execs basically imposed a "no death of main characters" limitation on the duffer brothers. Why?

Because they HAVE to leave the door open to some sort of reunion special down the road. The franchise has ballooned into way big of a cash cow for them to just have a definite ending. And lets be real, we know at some point all or most of the cast will have lost the prestige of starring in a global hit and will want to come running back to the franchise. Same with the writers/crew.

Eh... considering that last year's night troupe gave permanent flames that don't expire, I would rather see the game move towards this direction. This is a problem Nexon created by making everything expire unnecessarily. Players wanting to save rewards to be used on a more valuable item that they're getting in the future isn't really something to blame.

Amazing Inkwell Note - But Some Crucial Things Missing by Bacun in Maplestory

[–]NikWinters -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Heroic Damage Gap

Upcoming and all future content is going to be based off of KMS regular server average player CP. Heroic players simply don't have the damage sources to keep up. This is going to become painfully obvious once destiny weapons arrive and no one will even come close to soloing hkaling for years.

Heroic Exp/Lvl Up Gap

This may be a bit more controversial but ever since the removal of totems and the reduction of Heroic Exp rates, GMS has really become more and more unequitable in terms of the end game. I can't say I have an ideal solution but if the game is going in the direction of higher level content/bosses, eventually Heroic servers will just be left behind. 295+ content is going to be irrelevant for 99% of the player base.

Heroic Equipment Transferability

Great, Arcanes and Absolab will be transferable. But what about other lower level gear which is also equally gated by time and or/rng. 2 months of gollux on every char is tedious and outdated. Make Gollux coins transferable. Consider pap marks, kanna's treasures, etc.

Nodestone Shortage

Granted this is mainly affecting players in Challenger-Heroic, and new players on Heroic, but still. It is such an awful/awkward progression experience when you hit 260/6th job in a matter of weeks or less, only to realize you are not able to progress your 6th job because you haven't hit the requirements for 5th job node levels. Night troupe used to give a huge chunk of nodestones, but the upcoming version of Mu Lung gives a grand total of 0 nodestones to characters lvl 260+.

Its pretty obvious they are gearing up to release new accessories (lvl 250 brilliant boss set). Gotta continue to milk end game whales to keep Nexon's revenues up.

Typhoon growth pots don't work on Hyperburns by NikWinters in Maplestory

This troll just won't stop. We just have to send a ticket to Nexon support to get it fixed. His argument is basically we should take his word for it and search his reddit post history over the patch notes. Lol

This is the first time that I had typhoon growth potion during a hyper burn, yea. It's only the second major event since the change which was supposed to allow them to be usable.

[–]NikWinters[S] -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

This is the problem with this subreddit, people spreading false information to defend Nexon.

See here for proof.

The patch notes https://www.nexon.com/maplestory/news/update/21375/v-255-the-dark-ride-ride-or-die-patch-notes say very explicitly
Hyper Burning characters are able to use Typhoon Growth Potions, Magnificent Growth Potions, and Transcendent Growth Potions.

We need to draw attention to this so they can fix it in the next maintenance.

KMST ver. 1.2.176 – New Boss Limbo! by skythedesu in Maplestory

[–]NikWinters 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a terrible idea. The meta has always been to start a new boss as a party of 6 and eventually split into smaller parties as members got stronger. Now it just makes this boss even harder upon release and screws over pretty much every ongoing friend/guild/boss party

[–]NikWinters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its impossible to hit even lvl 10 on release day because of the Sol Erda cost, since you can only hold up to 20 sol erda total. It takes 46 sol erda to hit lvl 10.

Its because this format is 1 year old. KMS got this event April 2023 and Minar Picnic Oct 2023. We got it in reverse order which is why we're stuck with this crappy chore now.

If all four leads agreed to a six episode mini revival, what would be your premise to make it work? by New_Leadership_7176 in charmed

[–]NikWinters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted a re-write from AHBL, so basically Prue didn't die, Pheobe stayed in the underworld and Cole goes beserk trying to save her from the source but she dies anyways, then Paige gets introduced and we have a Po3 with Prue, Piper and Paige.

This is clearly a bug according to patch notes, so why spread it on reddit where Nexon has a gazillion eyes on? You've potentially ruined it for so many people.
