Tired of apologizing for Nexon
Maple story Forums : General Maple Story : General MS questions and answers Thread starter
Nexon decided they could make more money off the game (I found some articles online that back up that statement; go ahead and look for them, it's not that hard), so I started seeing the Nexon name rather than just Wizet. At this time I started seeing hackers. First it was just one or two here and there, then they took up every channel at the places I trained at or tried to do quests at. Nexon told us not to worry, the problem would be resolved soon. The hacker problem got worse; there were more and more every day and reporting them didn't seem to have any affect. The prices for everything started going through the roof because the value of the meso went down. I attributed the slow reaction by Nexon to them taking over the game. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Months went by and finally a lot of the hacks didn't work any more. Nexon was making good on their promise! We'd be getting new NX, new areas, and the anniversary was coming up. The NX that came out gave people huge advantages over those who didn't have any (their web site used to say that NX items didn't give people advantages like that, but who cares about the values a game is built on when you can make money off of 13 year olds?). One of the reasons I liked Maple Story is because the things you paid for with real cash didn't make you any better than anyone else. The new areas were a let down for the most part. Quest area after quest area, with the occasional map that people could actually train on. And the designs for a lot of the newer maps had a lot to be desired. Sure, they looked nice, but the platform placement didn't seem to have any purpose. The anniversary was also a let down. The Maple equips were great, the double experience and drop events were also good. But the GM events were lies. Many times the GMs showed up late or not at all. A GM would whisper things to everyone and tell us to go to events that never happened because a GM never showed up. And then the next day the same thing would happen. Around this time I was getting upset with Nexon. Hackers were on the rise again (oops, thought they said they fixed that), NX now gave people advantages and there was new NX on the way that gave advantages and NX only areas like Amoria pq or the Mansion during Halloween (oops, this game was founded on the idea that NX would never do that), and lying to our faces about something as simple as being there for a GM event. New Leaf City did bring some areas that people could actually train at. They were even catering to higher level people. Unfortunately the best training area at NLC (Wolf Spiders) showcases an annoying problem which has yet to be fixed. Attacks will sometimes go right through the spiders. I've had 2 spiders in front of me and my attacks only hit the one in the back. Or I'd be mobbing a group of them and one would walk around in the mobbing area and wouldn't be hit until maybe the third or fourth attack. You would think that after programming dozens and dozens of monsters, including ones that jumped, that you wouldn't have to worry about your attacks going through a monster. Oh well, only "pro" people train there, who cares? Herb Town is yet another perfect example of an area that offers lame quests and very few training areas. Now Showa has come out and I don't care that the backgrounds are different. Do you think I care that some swords are missing in a map that's full of Bains? Why should I care that they don't use guns when one of them (I think it's Extra B) has even worse programming than Wolf Spiders? In case you don't know, if you freeze one, you have to wait for them to unfreeze before you can hit them again. My assassin friend also problems with them. There's also that mini boss at the bottom of one of the maps that you don't realize is level 95 until it's too late and you're dead. I died there and so did some of my friends. Great thinking: put a boss at the bottom of an open area where anyone can fall victim to it. And make sure that unless you know that it's there, it won't stand out. There are also unfinished quests like the one with Bob the Snail. They gave us that one so that we could...umm...wonder how the quest ends because they didn't put the rest of it in there for no good reason. Or the new one at Showa where you give someone 5 million mesos and after gathering 400 alien foods, you get the chance to win...100 squids...or a level 50 sai...or a lot of other stuff that isn't even close to being worth 5 million mesos. That's the quest: 5 million mesos in exchange for maybe 100 watermelon. Or the one that takes place on Maple Island that I shouldn't even have on my quest thingy because I can never go there! And don't bother going to the mansion place there either; it just leads to a dead end with Bains everywhere and no platforms as far as I could tell. There's an NPC at the end that says he'll take you somewhere...and then nothing happens as you get assaulted by Bains and waste pots trying to get out of there. Thanks for the NPC that gives me hope that I can escape death but will probably end up making me die because I get killed by a Bain while the dialog screen is up. Oh, and there are still hackers around. So once again, Nexon delivers us a new patch with a new area. I was excited. I shouldn't have been. It's another quest area that offers MAYBE a map that ice wizards can train at. Other classes are screwed (especially bowmen; like the goblin quest were all other classes get a class-specific item and bowmen get to use a cape that was made for warriors, or the quest in NLC where wizards can get the cool Nocturnal Staff, other classes get something else, and bowmen get a Nocturnal Bow! No, wait everyone else gets an equip, bowmen get arrows that run out). Unless fighting that boss on the first Showa map or a long room with Bains sounds like a good training area, Nexon forgot to address your wants and needs again. I've apologized for Nexon long enough. They've finished replacing Wizet. They've had a long time to develop good maps. They should know how to make monsters actually get hit when you attack them. They should stick to their word when they say how long a patch takes (to their credit this last patch actually lasted about as long as they said it would...except it was a week late). The hacker problem should be resolved like they said it would. If hacking can't totally be done away with, don't promise it and lie to us again! I don't think they should have changed the nature of this game by giving people with NX huge advantages (this game is a lot more competitive and a lot less friendly and plain fun than it used to be when NX was just for fun). "Oooh, if you don't like it why don't you quit?" Sorry, that's a pretty lame argument that doesn't require any thinking to make. There are still a lot of good things about this game and plenty of ways to have fun. Nexon, in my opinion, has lied to us so many times, built up excitement over new places and new patches and then failed to deliver on the hype, and the quality of new training maps (the few new good ones since I started playing a year and a half ago) has been declining in general. If you read all that, agree or disagree, but please make a logical point to your argument. Replies
Well nexon isnt perfect nor is anything.Sure they may not be the best but really for a free online game its pretty darn good. I think if maple cost money to play monthly things would be a lot better. You shouldnt be defending nexon. All the haters on nexon are nothing but people with empty pointless replies tat wont ever grow up and learn to be mature because their too busy getting mad because they cant get what they want. Basilmarket is full of idiots that are just a bunch of ungrateful crying whiny idiots that have yelled they wanted wizet back when probably a majority of them werent even playing that time.

Gawd, idiots these days. And btw, IT'S NOT EVEN THAT LONG. Anyone with an IQ over 50 can easily read it." Thank you. Hacking is a result of the problem with society today, in my opinion. If people had real morals, they wouldn't be hacking pixels. >>
i think he might be mature enough to type faster than others.
I say we all quit!1!1!11 New Pic: blargggh
Agreed. Nexon is BSing and being total retarded morons with their, "Because we can and it's free". I think they should shove that up there GM briefcase and delete this mess called Showa.
You people who didn't bother reading shouldn't even post with your "tldr" crap.I completely agree and have played since '06 when the game was actually fun. Nexon shouldn't lie to us and sweep the mistake under a rug, they should actually SOLVE the problem.

Lol! @megabob10: I'm the only one who posted "TLDR," and I posted it as a joke. o-o I read the whole thing before I posted.
Wow, thats long. Anyway, I agree on just about the entire thing. It seems the longer Nexon has control, the more they manage to screw up the game. Its understandable they want to make money off the game and giving advatages is the easiest way but they should at least balance that out not screwing up on the monsters and maps and make extending already overly long patches and server checks to try to keep the free player population satisfied. Also how long did that take you to type?
I'll be straight up. I have to disagree with this, not only does this company TRY to please you asshats, but once they give you what you ask for, be it moderated or not, you spit it back in their faces. So the yakuza members in showa got their supplies from dennis the menace, and not the japanese black market, it's not hurting you, they gave you what you asked for! You got the same monsters, same maps, same town. The bain map is ALWAYS like that, and when I was in tespia, playing a character that could actually kill the bains, it was SO easy killing there with a bowman, sin, shadower, hero, paladin, name anything. The spawn is incredibly amazing, it was good exp for a 16x. There were blank spots, no spawn FOR this issue of not being able to shoot arrows in the middle of a bunch of bains, but there are also, equal/better training spots with better spots to snipe from. Nexon is a wonderful company, and without them, maplestory wouldn't exist. Perhaps they will listen to your complaints, and shut down maplestory, it seems as so you wish it be.When I joined, I knew there was hackers because it started raining mesos, roughly around patch 22, the easter event that year. I was the average noob, no idea what was going on, took me a character, and meeting a nice guy or two to help me get up there. I was aware of the hackers, but that's where your story falls apart. The hackers existed during what you word as the time period where wizet owned maplestory. It was when nexon bought them out, and put some giant steel toed boot down and put a brick wall in front of hackers for a long time. Yes, there are spots like the guild hack and other random crap, but it DOES get fixed. When wizet apparently owned it entirely, the same hacks existed for SEVERAL patches in a row, some absent one patch, and then in the next again. If 13 year olds buy nx, that's the parent's fault for buying it for them, unless the kid can get money on their own. The game remains free to play, which is what it's advertised as. The original course of the game has NEVER been changed, nor affected by NX. Gachapon only brings in new items for people to use, as well as iTCG. Yet instead of thanking this wonderful company we call Nexon, you want more, like a spoiled brat. Be happy for what you have, you selfish pricks. Might I add, AP/SP resets were there before this period of nexon's power, as well as safety charms, and other character nx items alike. 2x EXP is an incentive, for those willing to pay for it. They're supporting the game by paying a larger sum of money for something that will only last a fraction of the average nx item. The game was fine before it, and it still is now. There will always be hackers, because there is always going to be a way around things. If you have the competence, go run nexon, for even an hour, and see the outcome. They have a lot on their plates, making people happy, getting nothing but complaints in return, working on FOUR games, now, five if you add that new counter strike game, and keeping them all running. Jesus. New Pic: Basilmarket makes me lol

Im not sure if you said this but I liked it when they DID NOT have the gender change whcih they added. Girls are making guy characters and guys and making girl characters! It's stupid if you ask me!" Ew. Yes. I don't understand why anybody would make a character out of their gender. :x
I completely agree.However, I need a nap to recover my eyes.

I read your whole post. Nexon does not try to please us. The only people they think about pleasing are the NX buyers, and they're not even good with that. They are just adding to Global what is in the other versions of MapleStory. If Nexon wanted to please us, they'd allow for suggestions, and actually read and respond to them, and possibly add them to the game. The only thing about Nexon I like better than Wizet is that they have contests, stupid or not. The only problem I have with Nexon & maps is that after I quit and came back, all the maps I used to be familiar with were different.
Sorry... this sounds a lot like you're just complaining...

MaxxDK said: " Yet equally trainable on! Not many maps at all were changed, they only altered a few that actually needed it." It still bothers me that they tried to fix what wasn't broken (what needed to be changed? I don't see anything that needed to be changed in the maps I'm talking about) and don't fix what does need to be, or add what doesn't need to be. |
