Leaves are fun stuff, amirite?

Oh a days notice, wow.

I'm not even going to hope for them to fix the lag spikes. No hope at all.

Right. The only way to quickly fix those lag spikes would be to remove whatever function they added that is causing them. However, one would assume they consider that function too important to simply remove.

A proper solution would involve finding a way to perform that function truly "in the background", so it places an even continuous load on the cpu instead of hogging it all at once and then letting go.


What I am waiting for (but not hoping this maintenance to deliver, either) is a fix to the channel-connection problems. At any given time I may be locked out of random channels (meaning, I disconnect when I try to get on them) or CS or MTS, or not. And the same for many other players I know. I've no idea what's causing it but Nexon should really get that fixed.

Lalalala -waits patiently til the Evan mastery books are available in-game..- I refuse to spend any NX, or even play. Yay boring SC with more cash shop crap.. Lalala.
