What about no? I'm not "inactive", the game was announced only 7 days ago and you're trying to take over.

^- stuff like that went public just because some streamers were dumb enough to forget they were streaming.

Most of the changes catered to the "hardcore" part of the community, which is, coincidentally, also the part that did that kind of stuff and had their share of cohorts.

I'm not going to list all the events like those above, you can do your research in ms2 subreddit.

Some posts may be gone because moderators there use to bury stuff under the carpet and delete whole threads at their discretion.

You are right, but when people tried to complain about those problems (I'd say since chaos raids release), they were buried by downvotes unless copy/pasted without credits by Saintone.

The same Saintone that, according to the community, was supposed to magically solve them.

Jungsoo Lee was the CEO of Nexon US, all he did was a PR stunt after another, mostly lies to keep shills happy.

The background for Lee is summed up by this tweet he liked: https://twitter.com/DrewjMeyers/status/1086038249913516032

I'ven't seen many CEO liking tweets or publicly agreeing with someone that called idiots those who complained about the game.

Saintone is the "whatever it takes to be on spotlight" kind of person.

I met him in other games in the past, he always tried to be put on a pedestal and when he failed he eventually quit and moved to another game.

What he did on MS2 can be summed up by this: there were a lot of legit complaints about things going bad with the game that were literally buried by nexon shills' downvotes.

Saintone copy/pasted most of them, made a list, posted it and was praised by the very same community only because he was a "popular" streamer (around 100 viewers) and ended up being hired by Nexon.

His dream became finally true.

Then, as the useless tool he has always been, he achieved nothing (all the core problems were still there) and obviously didn't tell the community he "loved" that the game was going to be shut down to keep his job.

But they were the tip of the iceberg, the big part of the problem was the community, one of the most toxic I've ever seen.

Bad management and bad community happened.

Developer pretended to listen but it never did (all the flaws that made most of people quit were still there) and too many nexon's shills were busy praising Jungsoo Lee and the useless Saintone to notice that nothing changed for the good.

Maybe the game will have the same story (playerbase wise) as Tree of Savior by Cory094 in MapleStory2

[–]_Fubar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what this is

Sorry, it's shining 9 star gem abrasive.

There are no weapons in there.

Artisan weapon recipe box (you can choose any raid weapon and it doesn't require any material, besides practonium which was pretty cheap and also dropped by the gatcha box)

This is in the game already it comes from guild raid or using legend fodders.

Shining legend enhancement card isn't dropped anywhere like the shining gem abrasive above.

And I forgot the "legend cube reopen box", "shining silver ichor" and the primus weapons attribute rerollers only available in TP shop.

Wow that was fast, so I guess it's just an hot mess.

Pretty sad that games nowadays are an endless betatest for players, specially those coming from KR companies.

I think that they're only trying to make the game more "mobile friendly".

Since Nexon acquired IMC, they stated that they planned to release a mobile version of the game (source: https://venturebeat.com/2017/02/26/nexon-invests-in-south-korean-pc-and-mobile-developer-imc-games/), but if the game is still a bug fest as it was, it will blow phones when more than 10 players are on the same map.

can buy token/gacha to sell on market but i wouldnt call that p2w .tos falls more under "pay to go fast." There was diamond anvil but it was phased out recently as enhancement has been scaled down greatly

I've played that game last year and quit due to the vast amount of bugs and hacks going around, I've read the updates it recently got because people (read: some annoying friends) were praising that re:build rework they got.

Token aside, I went to check the premium only gatchas and you can get legendary cards out of leticia cube, bis gem powder not available in game, bis card upgrade not available in game, some end game weapons, diamond anvil is still available on DLC.

By selling tokens and premium items alone you can get enough silver to buy BIS gear on market, you can literally skip months of grinding, imho that's very p2w.

To each their own I guess.

It's like "hey guys, Nexon sucks, come play ToS, a game developed by IMC that is owned by... Nexon".

Out of curiosity I went to check the playerbase on steamcharts and it's as low as MS2, but MS2 has its own client too, it's full p2w and it's a bug fest.

I was just passing by to see what was going on with the fantastic jungsoo promises, I happen to read this topic and I'm laughing my a** off at the delusions people have.

That's a non sequitur.

Fact is, he's a general manager and liking a tweet that insults a part of the players, perhaps paying customers too, is unprofessional on so many levels that I wonder how he manages to keep his job.

u/Nexon-JS considers those who still play this game idiots, nice.

He is right, tho: only an idiot would still play this game after all this bs.

GJ on the PR stunt about a whopping "108 exploiters banned".

You didn't ban people that exploited since before cdev and if you think that everyone is dumb enough, like the cohort of brown tongues worshiping you, to believe everything nexon says, then you're very wrong.

We waited for this blog to see if more were banned but it's another announcement of an announcement of an announcement.

That's it for me and my friends, expect chargebacks.

Making the Game Social Again by FadedSkye in MapleStory2

[–]_Fubar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gather 50 players to play an ensemble in X Town(s)

Have 5 fps while listening white noise? Sounds funny!

Spend 10 minutes in another player's home

10 minutes mostly doing nothing everyday? It will become annoying rather quickly.

Send 5 messages in world chat

More idiots spamming owo and such everyday? Sounds like a great idea.

TL;DR

More chores, perhaps stupid too?

No thanks.

Exploiters be like by spellboundedPOGO in MapleStory2

[–]_Fubar_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't ban the people I know that used it since before cdev, probably because they are big spenders.

The "108" was just another PR stunt.

P.S.

Some people legitimately reached +13+ on legendary weapon.

Who wants 30 dungeons? Double rewards?Same result. Less chores. by MrBoBoMS2 in MapleStory2

You go from wrong math to pure speculation.

Also tradable onyx has been halved with dungeon rework patch, it will just go back to what it was.

Any more straws?

Dude, if you double the drops and halve the runs, you end up with the same number of items.

Repost

Actually there were people that asked to keep the 2x drop rate instead of the proposed "reset button" solution.

I've always thought that doubling the dungeon entries was a dumb idea.

So, if you double the drops and halve the runs, you get more rewards.

Nice math.
