[url=]http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/maintenance/announcements/00IQw[/url]

Details: We will be performing a scheduled maintenance on April 9, 2015. It will last approximately 3 hours.

Thanks for your patience!
Time:

Thursday, April 9, 2015
Pacific: 7 AM - 10 AM
Eastern: 10 AM - 1 PM

What will be unavailable:

All MapleStory game servers.

Changes and Updates:

Certain monsters will no longer continue to drop codex cards after they have already been obtained.
Mechanics will no longer disconnect to the login screen when using Mech Dash more than once while in the air in the Free Market.
The quest dialogue for the quest "[Attendance] Get That Chicken" has been translated.
An updated Philospher's Book will be activated.

The most important part of this maintenance is that "Certain monsters will no longer continue to drop codex cards after they have been obtained." Are we allowed to assume that monsters say in Stronghold maps will stop dropping codex spam for us?

[quote=Caeg]Oh, I know. I was attacking before taking the picture. It's just an example on how much spam there is with the whole codex thing going on. o.o The warning message is a much more effective method compared to [url=http://i.imgur.com/tBJUxqx.png]this. [/url][/quote]

Well, they do all of the above, so, in a way they're saying " No excuses, bud " xD But yes, I agree that the warning message is the most effective.

[quote=TheQueen]@Caeg: But in that picture, you're not attacking; you're just sitting on a chair ( I'm talking about people who are attacking that are obviously botting/ put weight on key / marco-ing/ afk attacking) I will quote from the official forums :

"Dang, a few comments on the thread and BAM a tonne of awesome comments I've seen somewhere on another thread about when people looting in SDH. Why can't they stop the drop on the monster cards so our chat doesn't get spammed out? Isn't it easy to get rid of this coding which allows people to respond if GM sends a message and even just friends It almost impossible to see whats going on with ' you have already recieved the card' Informing a use through all chat while invisible isn't holding any form of checking if someone is [away from key board-ing] because if your just paying half attention to game since mobbing for hours, would you see for 1 second a message?oh yea, thanks for the point of the pain staking long harsh punishment for 2 weeks. Didn't get the point but yea, higher level should probs recieve higher penalty in a odd perspective "

GM response : "Warning message pop up in the middle of the screen and you cannot attack/move when that happens "

If you are indeed legit attacking, and look back to see that you can't attack/move AND when a warning message pops up, and you still say that you "didn't see the message'", then you're obviously botting. But I do understand what you're saying and thankfully that chat spam will be resolved starting tomorrow[/quote]

[quote=TheQueen]First time? Understandable, but the second and third time? Compete bull and the blue box is the most obvious one though; you need to press the button or something like that to verify that you are indeed there, watching your screen.[/quote]

[url=http://i.imgur.com/qrDTAoD.png]I have all pet loot skills which makes it terrible to see.[/url] Keeping my chat expanded to it's max just in case I'm whispered by a GM becomes annoying since I'm constantly resizing it. I'm sure most people at SDH aren't 100% focused on their screen at all times and will be watching a show or something while doing so. (I watch anime/youtube while I train). If Nexon gets rid of the stupid codex drop issue next patch in SDH, there won't be much to blame. Give us a verification window and a 5 minute timer and we'll be set. Pretty much the same as the lie detectors which @Erag0n1 suggested.

It should be like the lie detector tests Where it pops up and you have to answer within a given time

[quote=Caeg]In all fairness, it is a pretty valid excuse. Not sure if this is possible but Nexon should just send out one of those GM message windows to an individual who's been reported. They're very obvious and are impossible to miss unless you're not looking at your screen.[/quote]

[quote=TheQueen]I wonder what their excuse(s) will be this time No more " Omg ! My chat was full ! Unfair ! I didn't see the white message/ whisper by the GM / didn't see the blue box ! Please Nexon! I'm innocent !"

Doesn't help that Nexon's ban is a slap on the wrist and their usual " Second Chances" bull [/quote]

@FalseMirror:
You can only fight Coco once. If you did that part of the quest line back when the card never dropped, you can't get it.
Also, when you complete the quest you get an item called Coco's card, but nothing happens when you click on it.

You cannot obtain it if you already completed the Silent Crusade quest line.
