I'm not gonna sit here and lie saying it's not buggy because it is, last time it got stuck on 100% for hours and I couldn't get on. I'm really positive it will get better and better though, Nexon Launcher hasn't been around for that long. We had one or two major updates to the Nexon Launcher that I can think of. One launcher solution is the standard in the gaming industry right now for almost all gaming companies. I think I have like 12 different launchers right for numerous of of games right now.
We might as well just embrace the future aye? And hope it will be less buggy :3
I don't care what launcher they use, I'll still have a preference for just launching the game directly through the Game Launcher executable bundled with the game itself (maybe even MapleStory.exe, if that no longer redirects to the website). There is pretty much no way for any launcher they devise to be more reliable than that, since at the end of the day, I'm pretty sure all their launching methods have to use the MapleStory executable itself. I can see why a launcher would make sense for a game company that publishes multiple games since it makes it easy for users who play more than one of their game to get in a game when they're all in one place, or to get users to expand into their other game offerings if they're not currently playing them, but it's just not something I'm all that into. I don't mind clicking icons on my desktop or start bar, and a launcher is less of a convenience and more of an unnecessary middle man for me. I care little for all the bells and whistles that come with a launcher, to me, it's just superfluous crap.
What I have a bigger problem with is not being able to download the game directly, so hopefully they still have that. I guess the fact that they distributed Pando Media Booster with one of their downloaders in the past without disclosing this to the user left a bad taste in my mouth with regards to their downloaders.
To me, these are the old, reliable systems, executables and direct downloads, not whatever unnecessary extra steps they've put between us and the content that they've implemented over the years.
