Nexons biggest mistake?

So everyone gets these nx items for free, when they don't even have to earn them(and don't tell me that killing 1000 monsters a week is earning them)? This is quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. The thing that bothers me the most is that the nx items aren't even random, they're things that cost money, things that people have to earn and they aren't even temporary! What's the point in playing a game to improve the way you look if nexon is making every single person look good? This is ridiculous. I'm just waiting for a rollback because they realize they made a stupid decision.

Reason behind it being called "MAKEOVER MONTH"

Yes because that would deflate the price of equips by a lot, and mess up the market. Which would suck for a lot of people who have funded themselves.

I don't have a problem with it until they act better than everyone else.

Jean + Angel glow shouldn't change your personality and if it does you probably had a crap one deep down to begin with

Dear Nexon,

I thank you for the free Dracula Cloak,
and the temp Transparent Hat,
the Special Beauty Coupons,
And everything else so far in this Makeover Month event,
I look like a badass Adventurer now,
and Vancover Canucks Stanley Cup champs 2014.

I didn't know the whole purpose of Maplestory was to make yourself look beautiful/handsome. I always thought it was to destroy the Black Mage and his forces, but I could be wrong.

Giving perm nx items doesn't ruin the purpose of maplestory.

Maplestory is a game. The purpose of the game is to have fun and this is achieved 1 way by making the majority of customers happy with goodies

[quote=icemage11]@Gregorius: Umm, some people actually like majority of those clothes. I personally like everything except for those manly shorts/jeans so my chars will be in their underwear since they wear overalls anyway.

Instead of being greedy and asking for whatever you want, why can't you be happy that they're giving away something in the first place?[/quote]

That's what I'm doing too (:
And I guess most of the people I know either.

I mean, hey ! We are getting free stuff ! Why should we only use the effects ?

Actually just saying but the perm nx items from cassandra arent untradeables so they can probably be placed in cs.

honestly, i feel like he is right.... Just because everyone is getting one, all it means is that the nice nx they give you will be given to everyone and it won't look as special anymore

I don't like the fact that I want some items on one character that already wears something perma and can't transfer the rest to other "naked" characters to enjoy.

Waiting for that to happen.

It's not a bad thing that Nexon's stupidly giving away free ([i]permanent and untradeable[/i] ) NX items... it's that they're doing it without any sense of coordination whatsoever. Just look at what they're offering and tell me if there's more than one thing in any of those sets that you'd actually like to get and wear on a regular basis. Out of those four reward packages, I can immediately see what everyone wants: Ice Cold Red, Shadow Style, Dollish Pink and/or Return of Angel Wing... and that's it. Four items out of the twenty-five or so they're giving out... personally, that's not even worth working for. I can buy those for as long as I want to own them and not even put a huge dent in my pocket...

...but it'd be much better if, for the hoops they're expecting you to jump through, they gave out 5~10,000 Maple Points per week and invented some sort of 'duration removal' scroll or coupon. Four of those for the month, then at the end, an extra bonus of 5~10,000 Maple Points and a few more 'duration removal' scrolls to anyone who fully completed all four weeks of attendance. That way, we can get what we want with no gripes or complaints and whoever misses out, misses out.

I mean, it's "Makeover Month", according to Nexon. Why can't we give ourselves the makeover to look how we want to instead of how they tell us to?

Deleting some few words, i agree, there will ALWAYS be a complainer for any new update Nexon makes.

I know some of them deserve complain, but this one? I don't think there should be anything bad about it.

This is not a stupid decision because:
1) It increases player satisfaction and gives those who don't spend money on NX a chance to enjoy perm decorative items. Ie. Good thing for us players
2) Based on what you're saying it won't be a bad decision because it'll work like reverse psychology. To be unique, players who spend money on NX are going to have to buy other, more diverse, items than the ones every player has. These items could be cheaper or more expensive, but the point is the more diverse items would catch people's eyes and would inspire others to buy NX items. It'll work like a chain reaction. Ie. Profit for nexon

[quote=NexEnt4]Also the fact that I haven't seen anyone with these Nx equips in a while (seriously the last time I saw someone with LED shades was in forever), so they might as well kick them out there, like what they did to some of the other old Nx equips, turning them into regular equips.

Thats just my thoughts.
Also with alot of people with it on, it won't be too special.[/quote]

I suppose, thanks for the wise insight(not sarcasm).
