While it is a scheduled maintenance, not everything in it has to have been planned in advance.
Obviously the first bullet, "If you didn't receive your guaranteed items from the 12/23 Hot Time event, you will be compensated", hadn't been planned since the patch. (Unless you believe Nexon knew their Hot Time would fail and planned for that).
No knowing how many of the other hodgepodge collection of events were pre-planned and how many tossed in just today in a desperate attempt to keep people playing. (It's not compensation if the issue hasn't been resolved, obviously). Golden Temple especially, if it really is free entry, is coincidentally very useful for people under 120 who don't want to compete with hackers for Chimney and MP3 maps.
Too bad GT is useless for higher levels, who are the ones most hurt by LHC being hacker-world. And of course the hackers benefit from the 2x...
I wonder why the maintenance is so short and with no world transfers and name changes. They could easily add another couple of hours and do those things, we wouldn't notice since it would be "standard length" for a maintenance.
I still hope they will find a way to sneak in a fix for the familiar hack and coin exploit :-(
Exactly what I think. Sorry Eos, can't agree with you here.
I'm not saying that this is compensation, but still they're being WAY too nice than usual with their crap and guess when..? Right after a TOTAL DISASTER in the game.
Now, as Sapta already pointed out, there is no way we can know which events were planned for this maintenance and which were not. But usually they just don't toss so many "great" events in just ONE maintenance, and seeing how they did it right after what happened makes me feel they're trying to keep as many people playing as they can.
Still, their silence about the current situation is very irritating to say the least. It's as if they realised they can't keep up with all this pomegranate anymore, so they're trying to milk the last drops until the game completely dies. Because yeah, if drastic measures aren't taken, that's what will eventually happen.
I'm not being catastrophic. The issue isn't "just" more than 50% of the current population going around and one-hit-k.o.ing everything they find in their ways, people being able to ignore scrolls' destroy rates and all the other exploits out right now. There's also an hacking issue right now, and it might or might not be related to the database leaks. If it's true that some people got hacked even after recently changing their passwords, then it is NOT, and that's much worse as it means there's a way to access people's accounts in other ways we don't know of.
You'd expect them to address the issue or at least acknowledge it.
Nope, Chuck Testa (or should I say Nexon?)
