I hope they don't cap Santa's boxes. I was going to use my 2x drop to farm some tonight but it's too laggy to do anything.

Knowing how they handled it last year, they're definitely going to ninja-nerf them and then actually add it to the patch notes after people start complaining.
Basically, there's a reason the servers are suddenly lagging after they announced an actual patch.

Servers have been lagging since the v178 patch.
But yeah, all farming spots are full, because everybody knows this is too good to last.

The santa boxes have a cap now. Ninja-nerf.

The V Coins obtained from Shining Santa Boxes now have a limit of 10 coins per day.

Wow, how nice of them to add this AFTER the maintenance ended. Surely they just forgot about this very minor change and only added it because they genuinely forgot to add it to the notes.

10 Coins? my lord thats stupid. Hopefully once high five boxes are gone, this will be changed to 30 or 40 a day at least.

I completely expected a nerf, but not THIS bad. Might as well remove coins from the boxes altogether.

I wasn't going to use all my drop stuff to farm some last night but now I'm glad I did. Christ a cap of 10 is beyond stupid.

Gosh, I lost like five cubes from the bugged V Tracker and 180m boxes, and they gave ONE 180m box as a compensation.
I guess I'll just consider the coins I got from Santa Boxes a compensation. Sigh.

So aparentaly you can by-pass the cap if you go to 8>11, 9>11 or basically not go to 10, some friends sayed they could go infinitely passing the number 10 :f6:

10 coins.
That's beyond ridiculous.
Way to go, punishing those who didn't rush to take advantage of the limitless boxes.

Man, what were they thinking? couldn't they just copy the value of last year or from KMS?
And gg seens they didn't care much to code it proprely...https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comm...h=aadb098d i mean seriously they fix the lag yet they miss that:f6:? wtp nexon?

lol 10 coins. really? Like, couldn't you give at least 20? The pineapple are we supposed to do with the boxes now? Oh and your stupid double coins time on the weekend won't do pomegranate because you get double coins once and you're done for the day. You can't even buy anything for 10 coins.

Oh well look to the bright side, you get enjoyable winters.

Also, the stockings you grow in the item pot still give Reboot Coins rather than V Coins.
Sigh.

The drop rate of the Santa boxes themselves seems to have been nerfed to oblivion as well, around 0.4x of the old rate from my experience. So yes, you're getting fewer enjoyable winters too.

About a quarter of the rate, in my experience, but yeah.
The useless Rascal Snow Pieces, though...

I get the feeling that whoever's in charge of making MapleStory decisions now is royally pissed at all the long maintenances and endless issues making a disaster of this patch that was supposed to bring players back. Not to mention KThxBaiNao doing whatever he did to get himself canned and leave all his work for others - unqualified others - to do on top of their own.
And this pissed-off person is taking it all out on us.
Just in time for Christmas, too.
