Nexon's Q&A Session at Basil - Luxeraph - 2011-01-28

I wonder why would someone attack basil? I guess they don't like nexon but why basil? o.O makes no sense unless it was a bunch of butthurt kids from those hack sites.

I am annoyed at how Maple's crappy community screwed things up.

Hey, I thought it'd be way worse.

That is all optional. The maps are fine as is and animations are fine as is. The most they would need to alter is the stats of the monsters. Also, dont forget that with the formulas simplified (the max damage a monster could possibly do is the attack stat) and the fact that they could use other monster's as a reference for the VPQ monsters they would not need to test for balance.

Regarding the supposed hacker, it is very possible that someone would simply want to maliciously destroy the Q&A. Some people just enjoy ruining things for others.

Yeah i don't see what's so difficult about shuffling monster stats around a bit. And putting the NPC back. If putting the NPC back is too tough (considering donald exists i'd say it isn't too hard a task) make it through dimension door. They did it for astaroth, right? Similar code, different references.

Well my point was that if they had the time to create an entirely new NPC within a month, what's so hard about adding one they don't have to change at all?

They add in NPCs all the time, and the VPQ NPC had a spot in Tespia. Its simply not hard for them to do.

Looking at non-KMS areas (Masteria, Zipangu/Showa, Singapore/Malaysia) I'd say it's very difficult for Nexon America, for some reason.
VPQ mobs, like the mobs in all those other areas, got too easy. But, unlike those other areas, someone at Nexon decided it would be a disgrace to have VPQ out like that. So they took it out, until they learn something about BB stats. Could be a looooooong time.

finding the balence of it being hard but not to hard will take quite a while

and damit no one asked about the bodyboost glitch

Well, removing VPQ does make sense.

After the Big Bang, why would aliens wanna be there? Wouldn't they have wanted to leave already?

As if the resources to understand the new functions isn't right in their f'ucking lap. >.>

Maybe they just got stuck?

I also thought of that, maybe they didn't know how to do the changes so they left it like that.

You forgot the time travel part, didn't you?

Still no news on when the smaller servers will be allowed to Chaos HT... bleh Frown

You would think such an incredibly easy change (making CHT on CH13, like it says IN GAME, instead of CH14) would have been implemented by now.

Thats the part where everything funks up.

Chaos just burns Visitor's storyline.


Nexon's Q&A Session at Basil - Kubi - 2011-01-28

Well for VPQ, would they have to change any of the mechanics for the maps in there or would it be left the same with no problem?
What makes VPQ and the whole alien thing pretty unique is, I think they were more like testing out some of the map mechanics they can implement. Bomb stage for changing different sides on a map, slippery swimming movement, moving platforms, some of attacks from some of the bosses, etc. That bomb lock thing was pretty glitchy to begin with... Not sure what else could go wrong?

The last line was will it 'be making a comeback", I didn't realize it was cut off when I typed it lol.

The way she added: "It'll be hard" when it obviously is not, makes me think that this is the first time they even heard of the issue f3 Though they did say they were aware of people still being able to complete it. I won't hold my breath till there's a copy pasteable fix for them.

Waiting for NexonJM to do all the work again?

The one day of the week I pick to go out of town... Doesn't look like I missed much from this chat though. A few of my own questions even got answered, but at least this didn't turn out to be one of those "What's a GM's favorite meal on patch night?" sort of QnA.
