But would that apply to you even if you weren't accepted into Tespia? Don't you have to agree to it? Or is an NDA just a general "Don't share this stuff or else"?

it's a specific document that says "you have to agree to not say anything about this to anyone if you want to play. if you agree and break this contract we can and will prosecute you to fullest of our power"
but it has to be included and agreed to independently, it can't be implied or it won't stand legally.

It's more to do with, "Don't wake the sleeping giant if you don't have to."
If they intend to keep it private, I'm not going to say F U to them.

The only comments about this currently is this.

Which means you need to read better.

Weird that Mabi patches a week earlier. For a while there they were doing all the game patches same day.
Combattente Wrote:They used to open the last Tespia terms around Wednesday, too, so we shouldn't get our hopes up before then. Still, it'd be a really bad move from them. I mean, one week is already not enough to test all this, so they should at least open it a few days before Wednesday (they updated the Tespia News section of the site with "Character Copy period is now over. Check back here soon to see Tespia's schedule" so.. who knows).
Hopefully they'll give us Tespia when Mabi patches, but yeah, that still means we only have a single week of Tespia before the patch which means no time to actually do anything.

Heh, that's understandable. No need to pineapple with them if they're going out of their way to prevent being fucked with.

And I hope to god it is. What's the point in everyone experiencing it at the same time if it ends up so broken that it's unplayable?

What's the point in wishing new content will not even have a chance to get fixed? What's the point in assuming nothing will get fixed if it does go into Tespia?

From the amount of bugs I've seen recently, it seems Nexon isn't doing anything at Tespia either.

That's not wishing so much as past experience and a reality check. If content comes to the test server this week, and releases to public server next week, where is the time needed for bugs to be found, reported, confirmed by Nexon America, submitted to KMS, fixed by KMS, returned to GMS & retested before going live?

I've never really had any problems with patches in the 4 years I've played, ever. Also they wouldn't let it become "so broken that it's unplayable", that's what extending the patch is for.

That's what I want thinking, but it's understandable that you wouldn't want to wade around in that hot water just to publish some stuff. Especially when the official release is just a week away.

If it's GMS exclusive content why does it have to go to KMS?

You didn't have a problem with last month's patch? It was unplayable when they implemented it, and it's still a major risk just playing right now. The pineapple might you be talking about?

Becuse the entire content engineering team is in Korea. "Custom" areas are ordered through them, not produced spontaneously by fairies here in America who live in the Nexon basement 364 days a year only coming out for the one exclusive piece of content we get.

Did they confirm it? Or is this what you (and me) assume? Cause it seems logical for them to open tespia 1 week before patch.

Yeah, I have a problem with last month's patch, but not in the same sense that everyone probably is. I got login glitched making myself unable to play on my account. I'm just kind of waiting around for a server check to fix it, or my ticket to get responded to. It really just comes down to how much tolerance you have for human error, which I have a lot when it comes to MapleStory and games in general.
Did the last patch have bugs? Yeah. Am I going to sit around and peach about it? No.

But can't GMS fix their own bugs? They try to do it now...
