[quote=themags]did Alien PQ give you The Time Traveler Medal?[/quote]
if you did the whole event, it gave you the medal. the alien pq alone does not give you the medal.

@superimani if you're gonna say that there's proof, then you should at least provide proof, for your word is not good enough.
as for the proof that everyone is asking you about.
http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1892267/0/Nexon_QampA_Session_with_GMs.html

the pq is coming back, but not the event. so wallywaffles is somewhat correct i believe. that the event won't be coming back, however the pq will. at least, that's what i believe.

when? when nexon figures out how to make it so its data won't clash with the Bigbang data.

@PowPowHammer getting golden temple back doesn't necessarily mean that we'll be getting the pq right after. after all, golden temple wasn't the one that nexon had trouble implementing into Bigbang.

I sure hope it will. I mean, it would be such a waste of programming for all that to happen just once.

I don't see why people keep telling every1 2 bad that they missed the event. Its not like the medal is tradable, if they bring the medals back it'll have 0 effect on u. What's the big deal if they bring the medals back?

@xJunkun the chat coincidentally returned when the pq was removed. the reason for the lag was because tespia always lags on the first days of release.

MmmmmHmm

[quote=osiel66]I hope it comes back, but without the medal. Medal should be exclusive to those who were not too freaking lazy to play 30 minutes or less of content per week.[/quote]

lol...i was away so i couldnt do the final quest...i did all the other quests >.>

@xJunkun i really dont think the chat lag was because of the alien pq, the LHC version tespia froze whenever someone tried to chat for the first few days.

[quote=bromguardian]Coming back yes. The GM in the Basil interview said they were planning on it, except no one really knows exactly when that is.[/quote]

I do hope it will happen before Chaos

[quote=AngelxHoly]Harsh but true. I was on Maple during that time-frame yet I didnt go on to get the medal, thats fine with me. Too bad for me, oh well. People had their chances, if they didnt take it up, too bad. If they couldnt play, tough luck. It's like the evolving ring 1. If you missed out, too bad.[/quote]

True, it wouldn't really be an "event" if it kept happening.

[quote=osiel66]At your first statement, yes. You don't see many people with Marks of Beta, do you? Just because people whine does that mean Nexon should re-release them?
At your second statement, that is quite unfortunate. However, it was extremely easy to obtain the medal before. Anyone who could not devote the 30 minutes or less per week should not get it. 30 minutes is a very small amount of time compared to a 10,080 minute week. (worst case scenario? stay up 30 minutes later on saturday) To those who literally were not able to get on, then that is too bad. Why should Nexon care about a small minority of individual players? They don't and they will not. There are far greater things that they are busy with.[/quote]

[quote=xJunKun]In the Q&A They had when the basil chat was working.
They said there working on making it work with big bang
it caused the servers to lag in the test server and when they took it out
there was less lag.
i hope they bring it back before chaos ;o[/quote]

Don't know about the lag, they just said it was incompatible with Big Bang.

Back in September 2008, I did a random drawing spoofing the movie 300 and created a Chief Gray rallying an army of Barnard, Zeta, and Ultra Grays to take over Henesys.

I wasn't active between January 2009 to October 2010. I guess I predicted the future lol.

I hope it comes back too. I was too weak to do the PQ last time. Now I can do it.

@wallywaffles: You say 130 and 140 sets like they were easy to get? 140 i don't even think anyone has it over there. Beating Empress is like.... and the Van leon stuff is
also pretty hard to get. If well organized and decently funded people went into VPQ they could get the items with ease.

Edit: that chat feature that Nexon held their Q&A on basil isn't even there anymore. So there is no way i can even get to it unless i took SS on said day.

@queeeny Most people didn't even like the quest that much.. people just want to PQ back.

[quote=wallywaffles]Can you show us this proof? Spreading a rumor isn't really proof. In fact, "Nexon themselves" said the Visitors was a "limited time" event ([url=http://maplestory.nexon.net/FunStuff/Articles.aspx?boardNo=405&contentNo=00BjK&pageIndex=1]skip to the end[/url]). Doesn't sound like it's coming back to me. Though with Chaos KMS got lvl 130 and 140 sets anyway so eventually VIPs will be only for dexless people or those who scrolled a perfect one.[/quote]

There was someone on the first page who even mentioned it. it was a Q&A on basil with the chat feature. They said they will be bringing it back. Besides if the pq was TRULY limited it wouldn't have been there after the event ended. People were still able to do the pq up until BB (120+ that is). Also they allowed you to go in with your normal items so you didn't have to wear your alien stuff anymore. It was meant to be like that was defiantly not a glitch.... Do you really think after all the work Gms put into creating those 15+ items, that story, that pq they just toss it all away? It's coming back..

The main reason why stuff like or Bigfoot changed and we lost Vpq is because Gms pretty much just copied and pasted the BB content from KMS (Who don't have this pq).

[quote=JulienL]Is there a minimum amount of people you need to get in?
And how many people (do you think) would I need, being a level 150 mechanic?[/quote]

You can go with as many as 3 i think. If it was like the old pq you probably need an entire party 140-150+ if it's still as hard as it use to be... It's hard and easy at the same time.... Arans made it a lot easier when it was around but i don't know if they can still 1/1 like they could pre BB.

@TimDuhNoob There was a chat the held with Nexon on basil market. Players asked if they would ever bring it back, Nexon said they had trouble implementing it into BB but they have plans to bring it back in the future. It was like a couple of months ago... I don't have screenies of it or anything because i think my word is enough, no point of me making it up.

@osiel66

I actually did most of the quest expect for like i think the 2nd to last one? They only had that one up for like 2 days and they weren't very specific. Also they didn't even tell anyone about the medal. If i knew i would of probably tried a lot harder.

[quote=Thiefy996]I liked the concept of alien pq, what with the rooms changing so it isn't ALWAYS exactly the same, but the one for 4th jobbers was really tedious. I don't wanna have to go through multiple rooms where the enemies have dozens of mil hp, especially on time.[/quote]

It's not really even that hard, i'm sorry you don't like challenges. Maybe you're just kinda low funded or something, besides post bb i usually went in with 145+ party at the least, was never meant for lower lv 4th jobs.

@themags
Yes it's the time traveler medal one.

@TimDuhNoob
ACTUALLY there is proof, Nexon themselves said they would bring it back eventually.

I hope it does come back. Couldn't do the highest PQ to get VIP weapons because I was under 4th job, and the monsters would 1HKO me.

I think it will because before, they gave us the Golden Temple quest before it came out, and look what we got: Golden Temple!
So, since we have the quests for Alien PQ or whatever, I think it may come back.

No one does, they just assume because we have the quest for it, that it will be coming back.
