They updated their Golden Temple post.
It now ends at March 22 (lol Yay, more time for me)

Is it gonna delay the patch or is it gonna continue even though v96 is deployed?

Uhm it says the tickets sale ends at March 15.
But Golden Temple ends on March 22.

Pretty sure it was always set for March 22.

Mostly because I specifically remember thinking, "Oh, they pretty much gave us a whole month."

It was originally the 15th. Mardi Gras ends on the 15th so I bet thats when the patch is.

I guess they needed 1 week more to put up the useless Tespia Pserver, so they delay the Lionheart patch 1 more week, so they have 1 more week to not fix bugs since they're too busy with the Tespia server...

Really... I bet there will be a lot of bugs in the Lionheart patch also, Tespia Pserver or not... noone is testing anything there other then their bossing DPS on the new zOMG WildHunter+AdvCombo+Berserk+ShadowPartner+DarkAura+Amplifierbot class... :/

Tespia = waste of time... really... Nexon does not have the skills nor manpower to allocate, solve, fix and implement code fixes in 1 week of Tespia Pserver time...

To be honest, I don't even know why they bother with Tespia for GMS. With BigBang Tespia, the end result was that Nexon America decided to copy/paste JMS BigBang over. It's likely they'll do the same for Lionheart. Seems like a big waste of time to me to even put up those servers. If anything, it's probably done to generate hype or make people think Nexon's actually trying to work.

JMS doesn't have lionheart though.

Somehow, that worries me even more then...

Yeah, because tespia is full of godly cubed gear to test bossing DPS.

It can't be delayed because we don't know anything except that it's getting released this month.

With what attacks?
There are barely any 4th job skills, so that's out of the question right there.
I bet everyone is trying to set up for testing which will never be finished in the little time it us up.

Wouldn't be a waste if they did it correctly. Sadly, they keep not caring at all about it, making it.. yeah, look like an useless Private Server just opened to build hype.

Yeah, I also suggested them to give out free Potential Scrolls and Miracle Cubes as well, so that we can at least test stuff PROPERLY without taking all the testing time up just to do quests. Hopefully they'll FINALLY listen for the next testing rounds.

I just finished the Van Leon's pre-quests today, and it's supposedly the last day of Tespia, so it might close anytime. Obviously, nobody got to fight Van Leon, or if they did, they failed miserably because of the standard equips we were provided with. Not only that, but should we also talk about the unmaxed 4th job skills which people were unable to max because of the lack of a NPC which gives out skillbooks or highly increased drop rates which make it easier to obtain them? Oh, about the drop rates, I forgot about talking of Dark Crystal Ores and the other 4th Job quest items.

Useless to say, those who made a class which required those (Cygnus Knights' 3rd Job, one of the classes which everyone should've tested because of the new buff and the Ultimate Adventurer, also requires them) had to spend a lot of their precious testing time finding the incredibly rare Dark Crystal Ores from monsters and/or making new characters to do the quest which gives out 3 of them, then deleting and re-doing.

This obviously isn't a proper testing environment, so I feel allowed to say that this, once again, was a complete waste of time and money from them, as only a small part of the bugs in the game were able to be found because of the poor management of the test server.

Well the only thing I can see it for being used then, is a "stability-test" server. Just to see if the server runs without crashing...

So, I guess we don't have to expect bug fixing from it, just fixes if serious stuff crashes...
