Yet people blurt out stuff about the Visitor event (I do not say they are not reusing it, just that nothing points to it), and that aliens are overused and boring. Then we have the darndest thing of all, some people deem the whole update trash just because Nexon choose to hype it through Basil. It is not like they have anything to do with the actual content or anything. Would you have them usign a smaller forum just because? It would be poor marketing at best to not pick the channel with most heads at the reciving end.
I would not be surprised if the update did not meet the high quality standard of the rest of NLC, but we have absolutely nothing to base that on yet. I know how people hate the Visitor event and all that, but except a few flaws it was the most advanced and intriguing event ever to be in any MS version, so it is still pretty much in Nexons favor all in all. Besides, nothing says the work Prose and his team did just ended at CWKPQ, they might have left scripts and art that Nexon simply put in the archives til now. They have been following KMS updates at a furious speed after all, not much time to launch their own content.
People are going to complain about hyping it through a fansite regardless of which one they would pick. If it were here all anyone would b'itch about is how all the scrubs from everywhere else would come here and make SP a more annoying place to post.
If by advanced you mean as far as new systems and features that we haven't seen the developers experiment with on such a scale since CWKPQ, then i agree. It doesn't really mean much past memorable content unless they experiment like that again with this area in a way that makes it a success though and i think that's all any of us really hope for as far as an update that benefits us as players. Assuming it's an actual expansion that is, but given that image it's hard to imagine this as anything other than either a revamp where the grandmasters have attacked NLC and left it in ruins or a future area type thing. Just my opinion though.
All i care about is a boss. That's it. A boss or bosses is the absolute minimum for what the high level community needs at this point imo. We don't really have anything left to fight anymore and there's obviously nothing good coming from KMS anytime soon, so this is their chance to really make something fun. New items are cool and all but it doesn't leave much of a lasting effect as far as something to log in for is concerned.
