Big Bang and Red patch

Hey guys~ For all who have been here since whenever, doesn't this patch remind you of the Big Bang patch we got couple-few yrs ago? Adventurers got updated and the game was down for many many hours! It's around the same time too haha

@xxsetokidxx: They need to, but the way this patch is going it looks like they are way understaffed, and if that is true, then there is very little chance of them opening another server that they have to look after, one that they know will have a lot of bugs in it most or all of the time

@Lecarde: They should open Tespia again.....That is the purpose of that server

@xxsetokidxx: I am sure Nexon engineers are great at what they do, but implementing a 1GB patch is not an easy thing to do. What is annoying about it is the fact that the last 3 updates we have gotten about the patch have involved bugs, is Nexon seriously testing this patch as the install it? They need to be testing for this stuff way in advance

@xxsetokidxx: Oh haha I thought you meant did we think it was similar solely because of the downtime of Maple lol

@Blackest: No accuracy cannot be removed, and we do not need the old system, but it needs to be updated, based on class I would think. We definitely need a new system, OP classes used to not land every attack, and that did an amazing job at keeping the game balanced (far more so than constantly buffing every non OP class). Now no one ever misses an attack unless they are fighting a monster way above their level, but if you are strong enough to kill it then you should not be penalized and be unable to hit it due to the current system.

[quote=xxsetokidxx]Nexon should hire some better engineers lol There are probably people who can reprogram this game in like 90% less time AND make it better XD[/quote]

but that would cost them more money..... and they are about as stingy as mr. krabs

No one remembers the Mushroom Shrine patch?
It was down all day and it wasn't even a big update.

I just remember everyone freaking out about the patch. Heck i remember when fourth job came out. God I've played this game for so long and have practically nothing to show for it. Oh well I could care less as long as i have fun every once in a while.

The day of the fourth job patch was hilarious. I wish Mr. Basil didn't delete the threads from back then. That thread "the darkest day in maple history" was very entertaining. And I think that was the worst patch of all, for the length of maintenance extensions. It was down for like a day and a half.

I don't think you remember the great catastrophe of the Dual Blade patch.

48+ hour maintenance and rollbacks. You could ride the tears with a boat that day.

The BB patch took a day. I wasn't there for the Ariant patch, though.

@Lecarde That is what I was implying haha (well except the acc system, acc never really affects us mages lol)

[quote=Lecarde]Actually it does remind of BB. RED dramatically changes the game in a way that no patch since BB has done by simplifying scrolls and cubes, and revamping the explorers, the original classes. I just wish they would update the accuracy system, the current system is garbage[/quote]
can something like accuracy be removed from the game? the current system makes leveling slower than it needs to be, and the old system makes secondary stats essential

I don't remember the Big Bang patch time, but I sure as hell remember the Ariant patch way before when. Now that was a sticky situation.
