We're Listening!

inb4 Nexon releases BB during December just to spite us, due to Blizz delaying Cata til that month.

I would like to take this time to thank myself and polka and a few others for having called this perfectly.

DAMN we're good.

Someone's full of themselves...

I don't think we'll be getting BB for several patches yet. The data between pre-BB and post-BB is incompatible. So if they move to BB, they lose out on content they could possibly add beforehand and then make that data compatible with BB during the update. According to research, most of the updating is done by using a formula given that HP/EXP values are highly linear. Also, notice that KMS has not added any areas which are available pre-BB after BB.

I think Nexon is going to go for several more months of content and hype for BB so they can get all of the content possible before it goes out of style. Notice that Nexon took the odd turn of getting one thing in line with BB coming out soon (Hoblin) and another section of data that's really old (Kaede). Ulu City and any other non-BB expansions are viable.

Sorry Fiel I don't understand you. Are you saying that after Big Bang all our WT areas and exclusive content will most likely be gone? Or You don't expect Big Bang for a while because with all the stuff we have KMS doesn't it'll take NEXON a while to sort it all out?

Neither, SwordStaker.

I'm saying that once BB hits our version, anything NEW to our version that was released before BB cannot be put in after BB.

As an example:

There is Content X which was released in JMS before BB was available. Let's say that we don't get Content X and get BB instead. Once we get BB, we can no longer get Content X.

Another example:

There is Content X which was released in JMS before BB was available. Nexon acquires it and releases it in GMS, then upgrades to BB. This updates smoothly to BB.

Neither, SwordStaker.

So, any WT areas we don't get before BB, we won't ever get? That's a little disheartening if true. xD

It's not true, just a theory of his.

What it means is there can be no copy pasta of those areas, not that they can't add them after reworking.

I voted for "Other: Vista and Win7 compatibility. We will get everything else regardless."

Ugh. FASTER LEVELING WILL COME REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU VOTE FOR IT YOU DUMBASSES. Why the f'uck is it 50% right now?

My reaction when I saw the poll.

Ugh

Personally I voted for skill rebalancing =/

It's most likely a joke poll anyway.

Its probably just market research. Something to gage the current player interest so they can then make big announcements about the most popular vote getters to generate hype for the BB patch [SIZE="1"]and NX sales.[/SIZE]

Probably been said like 10 times already but we're getting all of those... Do they really think we're unaware of what KMS does?

Obviously a lot of people are or you wouldn't have "Reduced exp" winning by a mile

Really now. How many maplers out of the whole do you think even knows about Southperry or browse fan forums?

Southperry + people who have a basic understanding of big bang is NOT the majority of maplers that currently play. I estimate that population to be less than 10%

Yes, "we" know what came in KMS-BB, but we are not an accurate representation of the average mapler. We are actually a horrible representation. If we used a normal distribution curve, we're at least 2 standard deviations away from the normal.

This poll is a brilliant marketing move by Nexon.

If they get BB ready for November patch, they will release it all, with the "we love you so much we give you all your wishes" line.
If they don't have it ready, they will only reduce the exp needed to level (incredibly easy change) and say "we gave you what you most wanted" and "we promise to fulfill the rest of your wishes too, soon!"

That would give them a mad month of 2x card sales (especially if they toss in some 2x events as well), and time to finish the porting.

oh come on we don't really need Ulu city! Alot of the content left to get is kinda junk.

Agree'd.

I also voted for a compatible Windows Vista / 7 client. Playability should be the first priority.

Neither, SwordStaker.

Couldn't they reapply the filter before patching them right into BB? Just like they did with the already added ones?

I never thought there was a reason to want Ulu City. Have we not already had Skele minidungeon for, what, years now?

The only reason as I see, would be the amusement of fighting Krexel. We need more bosses and stuff to do besides training anyway.

I voted other for Windows Vista/7 compatibility, and the random D/c issues associated with them.
We who understand the game and want balance and such aren't the majority, so you end up with this:

 Spoiler

I bet Nexon NA is going to be like " You want faster leveling? You got it. We've now reduced the exp rates!" and pass it off as their idea.
