No fucking way. Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 03.17.2011 - Takebacker - 2011-03-17 It isn't difficult to change it, but it's difficult to fit in a completely out of nowhere patch specifically to fix just that.

How is that difficult? How much of an impact would that have on their patch schedule? Maybe they'd just have to change the version number of the next major patch, if even. But they usually don't change version number for bug fixing patches so it's not even that. Changing a single string isn't difficult. Releasing a .patch file just for that (and possibly other small bug fixes) isn't difficult. Really, I don't get them. Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 03.17.2011 - Takebacker - 2011-03-17 I guess they think a handful of hours spent on this would set them back enough for it to be out of the question? Especially since pap used to be for the exp but now bossing in general isn't worth it for exp compared to the exp you could get in the same amount of time at LHC. I was under the impression they made cracks quest items again because of the community issues involved with pap entry so they stopped pap killings until it could be fixed somehow, but hime's reply makes me think it was a legit error on their part. Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 03.17.2011 - Phoenix Wright - 2011-03-17 I know they've created hotfix patches before for slightly less serious issues.. I suppose I'll live without Pap, but I generally killed him at least once a day on my Marksman for drops/exp. Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 03.17.2011 - SaptaZapta - 2011-03-17 Apparently, someone at Nexon America really doesn't want people soloing Pap twice a day (or at all?) You only get the crack quest once a day, even though you can enter Pap's room twice a day. Recall that once upon a time, Cracks were ordinary items, not requiring storage shenanigans to stack them up? Then they changed it to one-of-a-kind, and I suppose they thought that "solved" the "problem" of people soloing twice a day. Recently they must have noticed it wasn't solved. Maybe it was the noise the high-level community made about sources of exp, including Pap. Nexon saw that people were still farming cracks and selling them in stacks, and people were still able to solo twice a day. They tried to "fix" it themselves by making cracks untradeable. A simple change, just one flag, they thought they didn't need Nexon Korea to help with that. The results were as we know them to be. Now, they don't want to just change back, because we would be going to back to solo Pap twice a day (those of us who could be bothered to go from LHC to Ludi for it, anyway). So I expect they are now waiting for Nexon Korea to come up with a more complicated solution, such as change Pap to expedition form that you can't lead more than once a day (and incidentally prevent people from entering while others are inside)? All speculation, I know, but that's how it looks to me.

Look, I've been thinking about the exact same. If they've made so many changes to those cracks in these years then it means they're trying to do something, possibly to avoid us from entering twice. In fact, I started thinking they were trying to avoid us from doing something since they made them one of a kind. But, if that was the case, they could've just made it so that instead than twice a day, the portal script only allowed you in once, which would've really been the easiest solution of them all. I don't quite get what they're trying to do. Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 03.17.2011 - SaptaZapta - 2011-03-17 Combattente Wrote:Look, I've been thinking about the exact same.

In fact, I started thinking they were trying to avoid us from doing something since they made them one of a kind. Apparently they do still want us doing it twice a day, but in a party. Notice that unlike other summoning items (Eye of Fire, White Essence, Lady's Comb), you don't have to have a Crack to enter Pap's room. Just the Medal, which you never have to drop. So, it's definitely set up so two (or more) people enter together, one of them uses his only crack to summon, and he can still enter the next time, when someone else summons. Also, changing the script to once a day is probably a bit more complicated than changing the "tradeable" flag on the item. They preferred not to do it on their own. Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 03.17.2011 - Stereo - 2011-03-17 On 2x days, I ran into people who would camp outside waiting for someone to go in, then follow them and double up on their crack to get some exp. Is that really what Nexon wants? When it takes 3-5min to solo on my various chars (a little longer atm cause of the MISS glitch) I don't need a party's help, or to split that exp among more players.
Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 03.17.2011 - Killed - 2011-03-17 Raise pap exp. Raise pap HP. Make it like Zakum. After all, it is 15 levels above Zak and yet it takes 1/15th or so of the time to kill it.

I think Nexon just failed by copy/pasting the quest information. It says the exact same thing for all 5 classes. I believe they drop from different mobs for each class. Killed Wrote:Raise pap exp. Raise pap HP. Make it like Zakum. After all, it is 15 levels above Zak and yet it takes 1/15th or so of the time to kill it. This would be awesome. They buffed all of the area bosses, so I don't see why Pap can't get a buff too.

Make it like Zakum. After all, it is 15 levels above Zak and yet it takes 1/15th or so of the time to kill it. I think pap is seen more as a solo/low party boss, while zak is seen as the first low level group boss. Since these 2 bosses are different (imo, designed for solo vs group), they shouldn't really compared like that Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 03.17.2011 - 0^2 - 2011-03-17 I completed a ring right before I was kicked off. Yay for not losing time. The raising of Pap's difficulty would be worthwhile as theyve done it to most bosses sans PQ.
