[Game Update] Ver.78 - Unscheduled Maintenance

Ugh, I was in the middle of getting chair too
prob the only girl I'll ever get in this game LOL

I'd actually like it if they could just turn the attack belts into expiring items, even if they expire in 3 months or something.

Anyone know the size of this mini patch? I might have to endure the agony of downloading it on dial up X_X

5 mb. Not that big.

Also, if they don't change to any of those, and remove the belts, I demand unnerfed Scarlion and Targa helms .

... Yes. I'm mad. My whole bossing party left on 3rd Scarlion body, even though we would have beaten it on time. Now I don't even have the NERFED helm I deserve.
Also, I'd like the time limit removed and have it more like a minidungeon- infinite maps. This 1 hour deal means I can't solo it for 5 hours

I managed to get around 60 tokens fighting Mano, Deu, and Stumpy on my level 56 Cleric right before the maintenance. I had some pretty luck to find every channel empty, however.

And now that they've announced that its boss only 100% absolutely, EVERYONE is gonna be camping those guys.

Well, everyone was at Newties when you were hunting the bosses.

I'm guessing even the non-area bosses, such as Headless Horseman, Grandmasters drop the Tokens?

Fail.

I wake up early, and there's a maintenance until 7:30.
I come home after being out, and there's a maintenance until 10:30.

Since you found two off of 1 BF, I'd say yes to that one.

I killed a few Male Boss' in Showa, no tokens. But seeing as that was Showa afterall, HH and Grandmasters and BF might drop em.

I'll be content with my witch hat.

Whaa? I said I hunted Zombie Mushmom.

I was already KSed at Snowman. And ill say this now and i can be quoted on this. If i get KSed while im hunting, Ill bring as big a pomegranate storm as i can KSing back...

Sorry, wrong one. I'm tired.

Sorry, last time I checked, events weren't about getting UBER-L33T EQUIPS, they were about having fun. They've turned them into a competition, and not even a good one. It's about who's most powerful and most willing to not shower for however long it takes to get that extra 1 attack. I just wanted to get my event items, and I did. Making it retardedly difficult for casual players to participate in events is a worthless move by Nexon.

Nexon are masters of taking something fun and twisting it into something competitive, painful and frustrating.

Things are a lot different in KMS...Min Kim really doesnt get the American(or Western) mentality.

There is another attack belt in the data with an untranslated name. Maybe that one will turn out to be less impossible to get. Not all of us can play this game 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, in order to to find and kill a thousand bosses (assuming normally rotten scrolling luck) before someone else does, all within the next month.

I agree its not an item you cant hand out, but seriously... you can want with all your might, but boss only shuts out almost everyone in most servers. even here in bellocan, the high levels in the main guilds will camp and ks, they'll justify it by saying that their doing what they need to do to get where they need to go.

You'll end up with some players just hogging everything they can for profit. Theres enough in fighting amoungest a small group of high levels here who argue over boss availability. Throw in an item like attack belts, i imagine that drama is just going to be amplfied in the weeks to come as people get desperate and more competitive over every mini boss in the friggin game.

The tokens are already untradable, so what would would be the difference in making them rare drops from all level enemies (giving everyone a fair shake) vs a one target enemy that spawns once an hour and can be taken out by a high level player in one key stroke.

How is that fun or even near fair to most people who play the game? you might as well just say its an event only certain high levels in certain high level guilds should have a chance of acquiring, because that'll be the reality of it @____@

I understand where you're coming from and, being from Scania (You used to be in Scania too if I remember correctly... Marisa's friend, right?) I know firsthand what happens when said high levels decide to try monopolizing something.

I think we agree in concept that the belts as they were right no were too easy to get, and that they should come with <some> difficulty to acquire.

That being said, there ARE ways of doing this WITHOUT leading to all bosses being ks'd and whatnot. I'd point at the Agent event a few months ago for those earrings: Those were "game breaking" (though not to this degree) and came with relatively easy to get chaos scrolls (hell, a lot easier than this time around) and required you to kill PQ monsters. I dont remember if people complained about this, but in the end, the event went well for everyone: People got nice equips (some people got as high as 3x statted earrings) and none of the bosses were held (other than perhaps HPQ, but that wasnt held, that was just people rushing, and even then in Scania, I had no troubles getting in solo).

My suggestion: Make closed bosses that you can fight x amount of times a day have a better drop rate (ex. Have pap, zak, latanica drop 5-10 a run compared to the 1-2 that area bosses currently drop) or have them drop at the rate of ores from popular training grounds.

Edit: Just to add on, I notice these events often "die down" after a week or so. I dont remember HPQ being very crowded after that first week where everyone was trying to get earrings.
