It seems all my luck has transferred to Brave Frontier, so I'll probably get epic pots on both days :/ Eh. They are both still useful, I love epic pots because i'm dirt poor and don't know how to make money in the shitty economy this game has, and the hair coupons are nice for people who don't buy NX, especially with the new salon system.
All the items are useful, even if some people don't care for them.

Given the numerous DDoS attacks Nexon has been receiving (and publicising to us), I'm not sure why they haven't learnt that a 1-minute DDoS attack is all it needs to ruin this event, or anything remotely close to a surge of player activity.

They're probably doing these two Hot Time to try to boost their concurrent user count (GMS' record is 136,000).
1) It's Christmas break for pretty much everyone.
2) They just had an event to try to boost their user count (the Maple Points thing).
3) They probably saw a lot more players playing than normal these past two months.
4) Generate some positive press about how many players we have! (If this Hot Time is a success)
5) Profit! Even more players.
EDIT: Darn, I missed it. I was in Star Planet and was in the middle of a game of Yut and completely forgot about it.

I don't think they'll meet any user count targets today. Only 3 other guildies and 4 buddies on.

Don't know if anyone else had this problem but I wasn't even able to log in until literally 2:32.
I was trying to get in through the game launcher but it kept telling me my password was wrong. Then I
resorted to the website, but that was telling me the same thing. I thought my account might've been hacked
but I guess not. I'm kinda mad to say the least. :/

It might have something to do with all the people trying to relog very quickly to get the rewards on multiple accounts.

The cubes don't stack, so make sure you have 5 slots available before opening package.

Most anti climatic BULLpomegranate ever.
I ... just... what?
Nexon NA this is a new level of low... A HOTTIME FOR THIS?
Couldn't they give the simple stuff, Like the hair coupon + Pot stamp at a 100% + something special?
jesus christ.
This is just lame, all I wanted was the hair coupon, not even a unique pot but nope instead we get a heavily worthless RNG'd hottime.
./end rant
(And here I thought this is gonna top KMS' latest hottime lool better luck next time nexon NA)
(Well I wasn't aware about this line "randomly receive one of the following items!" my bad, however this is still a bad hottime and it doesn't deserve such status as the rewards aren't even that good)

Ah, so that's why it told me to have 5 Use slots open. Thought it was just mocking us.
Got 2 hair coupons and an epic pot scroll. All expire in a month.
On the plus side, the servers didn't even stutter this time. Maybe Nexon finally got their network fixed?

I guess I got lucky with a Unique Pot Scroll (30-day time limit). Guess it's time to scroll up some CRA armor. Still kinda miffed about pally nerfs, but I still wreck face at most bosses.

why, its 50pc so it has half chance of working
also - sadly for nexon, appears not that many people turned up for event. servers less than half filled in windia.
on the plus side, servers are stable
