Big wig pot compensation

http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/4965/scheduled-minor-patch--november-19-2015

Honestly, wat. So because I used my first one (well after they announced that they couldn't fix and wouldn't be fixing it before it expired) I only get one now. On top of that they couldn't even figure out how to fix it?

@kunoichi Exp was still about the same. I was Lv213 when i used it, and i got about 4~5%. Now i'm still Lv213 and still received about 4~5% there was not much of a difference in the "bit more".

next time they give away level up potions, they need to either make sure they work as they say they will or out right say that it won't level up a 200+ character.

@ohjoseph I just used both potions and got a total of 9%. I'm level 211. 2 free levels would have been nice, but hey free exp is free exp.

i got 2% from using it before the comp and then they said it'll give more exp... I got 1.5% exp this time.

Well.. I got 1% from the pot. So I'm going to assume I get 2% now. Woopie! lmao

"While these items will still not give a full level-up, they will at least grant you a bit more EXP." Just wait to see what is "a bit more" for nexon...

@raystarlmao: They corrected the amount of exp that the potion is suppose to give. Meaning if you used it before and gained 0.20% and you only get a new one and lets say the new one gives 5% in total you gained 5.20%. If you didnt use and get two you get 10% so you tell me.

@raystarlmao: Some people will always ask for more; never satisfied with anything.

I don't understand what the problem is, they did not do any changes to the potion. You said you used one, so as some sort of compensation you're getting another potion. People who did not use the potion, and had expired on them receive two potions. Essentially at the end of the day, you both received two potions.

thank you for replacing my potion that gave me 1% xp with another potion that won't level me up either. gg nexon.

I used my potion before they even announced it was bugged lol. Guess its logical for nexon to just give me one just cause i used one and gained 0.20%

@dragonxpride: it doesn't need to give a full level to lvl 240+ also what that guy above mentioned would have been the perfect thing to do

may be nexon should makes Big wig pot works like this
100%exp from 1-200
90%exp from 201-210
80%exp 211-220
70%exp 221-230
60%exp 231-240
50%exp 241-249

that would be fair for evryone

If you didn't get f'ed over you get more than the people who did get f'ed over. Nexon logic.

@chaosh:
Level 248 to 250 is less than 1.3tril exp
For level 240+, it's less than 650bil/level so to put things into perspective, it's not incredibly unfair since that's roughly double of what lv 23x need per level (which is 3x more than lv 22x which is 3x of 21x)

Also, you have to realize that most level 240s won't even be getting the maximum possible exp as they aren't at 0% to start with. Also, leveling up to maximize the use of the potion within 3 days isn't possible for most Lv 24x whereas it's far more doable for Lv 240-.

No fix for early end of world transfer? BS

Not really surprised they didn't 'fix' it, to be honest. I mean, sure, a community manager told us the potion was supposed to give a free level up at any level, which doesn't mean the potion was ACTUALLY coded with that intention. I mean, we get TWO of those things for absolutely free, that's a few TRILLION exp for players above lvl 240 (from 248 to 250, it's over 30 trillion).

That being said, it seems the potion gives more exp now, and the fact you only get one for doing the rational thing and using the potion in time is kind of silly.

its not that they didn't figure out how to fix it.
They thinks the potion is too OP to give the full 600bil+ exp for level 240+
