Recent glitchs and bugs

Hi everyone, today after being unable to open storage, got a D/C from it.... Aside from being unable to talk via guild chat, I found out that I wasn't the only one and that many were "guildless" and "friendless" (No guild and an empty Budy List)

After thinking for some moments I came to the conclusion that the update wasn't finished at all, we even had several unscheduled maintenances.... If we had tespia this wouldn't happen, that's one of the things that I thought of... (1gb patch is big, Black Heaven is a big update, which wasn't checked at all as we could see)

But apart from that, the servers are pretty bad, we get many x2 events, and that is wrong... I'm not saying that x2 events aren't cool and that but the servers can't handle the amount of players.... Many worlds need a world merge ASAP.... Even YMCK needs one currently, so I decided to make a pool and see if this reaches Nexon HQ's and they change something since this is an official fan-forum and it's the most popular one as I know.

I hope this reaches them and we can get some answers!

It's true that I don't know much about KMS but GMS Tespia access was only given to certain users, I didn't knew about the p. servers stealing content, it's hard to give it a solution, since making it even more secure (less players) will give less results. About the server upgrades, it's to reduce the lag and problems, GMS currently is going crazy about the "x2 lag and DC" events. Making more events makes the server unstable during those moments and it's not pleasant for most players, as well as "Saving the lost servers" better servers will give a new world merge, the game would be fine if we had only 3 servers, with the double of current channels.

@LeAvengeLink: However, I've actually managed to use the exp coupon from the daily quest. They gave me 4 and I used 1 without a problem.

The glitches aren't happening because the update is incomplete and Nexon is purposefully sending us a half-baked nightly update. There have been updates that are only hundreds of megabytes that still cause unscheduled maintenances. It's because the developers have no way to test it in the GMS server.

Maybe you don't know this but all the development for GMS takes place in Korea and I don't think Korea has access to the GMS client/server. If Korea did then they would be able to work out these bugs. But, if they did they would also have to shutdown the server. That is why Tespia was introduced. It was a server that was closer to the conditions of GMS and allowed players to submit bugs and have them fixed before the content was released on the actual server.

Nobody is denying that the test server was very helpful. It also seems like you don't know this either but GMS took down Tespia because Tespia was a way for privat servers to update their IP-stealing servers with the latest content. So it is without a question that Tespia will help reduce the number of bugs in updates brought to the real server. Now you should be focusing on how to bring Tespia back in a way that keeps the update data away from the hands of pirates.

PS, updating the servers might help reduce lag BUT that probably won't address your issue about glitches in updates so I don't know why you added that in the poll.

[quote=ApexAlpha]Another bug could be from Tot. I can't use the 60% exp coupon and I can't get the medal from it either.[/quote]

You're right, on the other post it was listed, I'll edit this one later. It seems exp coupon don't work at all also.

[quote=ComicWiz]Korean Maplestory has Tespia and i have yet to see them struggle like gms has since like 2008[/quote]

I don't have a certain information about that, but since the content is translated, they should bring the "patched" update I guess, and an extra revision wouldn't harm anyone.

[quote=imtheking12]wot m8. You complain hella lot cus of many stupid reasons. You complain about the servers not being big enough to handle all them players and you want to merge servers? And they pretty much hint about possible mergings and world transfers in the future but you think they can magically put together two servers without f**king things up? I ain't no expert technician / engineer and neither are you. If you complain so much about unpopulated servers like YMCK, then go move to a different server. No one is stopping you bud. You just come up with more reasons to make yourself want to leave but you just hold yourself down.

And the patch being 1GB big, you not see how much content is being released? You only saw like 1/3 or 1/4 of the patch content released. And the several maintenances were to hot fix bugs or to patch exploits that were harmful for the game (ie. channel crashes) and you are complaining about them trying to upgrade servers when they are trying to fix the current state of the game. Complain some more and not appreciate what they do to try to maintain their player base.

tl;dr complain some more, join a populated server or quit the game, and stop regurgitating things people complained about.[/quote]

There are many "Dead Worlds" I used YMCK as an example because that I'm part of it. I know that I forgot to mention that the last update was just a little part of the FULL update.

If we had world transfer, believe me, the worlds would be worst than they are currently.

About the several maintenances, yeah they kinda fix the game, but if Nexon really is a big company, then their content shouldn't have soo many errors, that's why I mentioned Tespia although it wasn't popular on GMS at all.
