Id say overall the patch was ok.
Witch Belts. This was an ok event, but it really brought the worst out of maplers as basically the only way to get the ATT belt, and then scroll it three times is to be stronger than everyone else, which automatically shuts out alot of people. Im still trying to pull together enough tokens for 2 belt scrolls, just 2, and i havnt even gotten the first scroll. The tokens really should have dropped from all mobs, or at least select mobs in each area with area bosses dropping more often than the mobs. The belts themselves should also have only 1-2 slots on them, making it fair for more people. There is already a restriction on getting belt above your level, so that also helped.
Malaysia. Personally my addition, as it has allowed me to level up my dawn warrior safely and fast. The first quest for the Scarlion and Targa fight was nice as it brought in more scrolls that are rare for the most part. I have yet to actually fight them, but i plan to try and be the main attacker in a guild effort once we have enough people on and high leveled enough (my DW killing).
Balrog Boss. Also a nice addition, it gives lower levels a challenging boss to fight that also doesnt require much in the way of pre-coordination.
Gacha Box Event. Im getting sickenly tired of these money grabbing events, specially after they raised the prices on the keys to open the boxes. What ever happened to having events that gave decent rewards to everyone that didnt require you to buy something with real money? It gets pretty sad when you have to spend money on a free game to actually take part in an event.
Gold Richie Event. Somewhat nice, but the compass pieces need a little higher drop rate. I could spend a few hours on my BM and still end up a few short of one or another. In reverse to my last statement, this event actually does give some nice stuff (Belt 100% and 60% scrolls). But due to the low chance of the pieces dropping, it is a low chance of getting to par take more than a few times without killing alot of mobs everyday.
Witch Tower JQ. There was a JQ event added? a_@ ( i know about it, just really wasnt interested)
Erasers For Chairs. Stupidest idea for an event: Have chairs that EVERYONE will want, that uses items (three different and REAL items) that nearly dont exist anymore. This could have had more planning, and could have used variation rather than erasers everytime. (why not three different bot catching mobs ETC drop?)
Family Rep Change. Absolutely hated this, it ruins it for anyone that has an inactive family member. (I have a priest that hasnt been on in months)
Overall, it was ok, some parts were great, others needed work. Im more disappointed in the fact that we havnt heard a single word about Krakia or the next Masteria expansion. The addition of the "home made" low level quests will be great, not just for the awesome stat-ed armor set either.
