NEXON Q&A on basil in 30 minutes

Chat's frozen. All discussion is forwarded to Hime.
>my face when Hime's screen is too full of immature spam to answer any questions

Also: "Today we will only take casual questions and any operational questions you have for us. Sorry, everything else will not be answered today."

What does this even mean? Casual questions? I guess anyone who wanted to ask about things in development shouldn't even bother.

17:56 hime: Today we will only take casual questions and any operational questions you have for us. Sorry, everything else will not be answered today.

B'aww.

Haha. I was about to post this. No point in being in the chat today!

What the hell are we supposed to ask?
"How's the weather in California Hime?"
"Did you have a good day at work?"
"Did you watch the Super Bowl?"
"What are you having for dinner?"

Show them my edited King Pepe image, please.

15:59 hime: Operations questions are like what we do etc. like the latest Dev Blog about maintenances.


wow. So basically, we're gonna ask them if they like their coffee black.

16:59 hime: Operations questions are like what we do etc. like the latest Dev Blog about maintenances.

Edit:Ninja'd, I really wonder what I should ask.

Show them my edited King Pepe image, please.

I shall do the honors.

I did. I didn't get a reply.

I still think someone should ask if they're putting purple surfboards in chaos patch, thats the ONLY reason why heros and paladins pwn Drks so bad at bosses lol .. a whole job fked up just becuz of an item .. no but srsly someone should ask when r they putting purple surfboards

18:08 hime: Casual questions being fun and simple ones and operational question are more along the lines of what we do like the Dev Blog about maintenances.

Amazing. You could actually see the members list on the right side of the screen shrink when this was said.

>mfw no one is asking questions.

edit: lol down there.
Silly questions.

15:13 nxhadza: Chaos is coming soon, but we can't give an exact date. Expect some changes more dramatic than Big Bang.

15:16 nxhadza: Monster book is on hold for now. We have no plans to bring it back. Maybe with more refinement to make the system better than it'll be worthwhile.

15:16 nxhadza: MapleStory anniversary events are held in May. We're working hard on creating some original and cool content for you guys!

15:16 nxhadza: Von Leon is coming in March! (Lol'd at Von)

15:20 nxhadza: We are planning to expand more channels bosses such as Zakum. So keep a lookout for an annoucement.

15:27 nxhadza: 2x compensations are based on the severity of the inconvenience to our players.

15:29 nxhadza: I think if I met Justin Bieber I would be too star struck to say anything. And all i would hear is the lyrics, baby baby baby...

15:30 nxhadza: Ultimate Explorers are coming out sooner than you'd think.

15:33 nxhadza: Large content updates takes months of planning. We get test clients that we tetst internally and basically a lot of time is spent in testing the game using test cases.

15:36 nxhadza: We have talked about expanding Masteria, but it's all in the planning stages right now. I feel personally responsible to have to make it awesome, so it'll take a bit of time.

15:38 nxyadeera: When we integrate content from kMS or other MS services into gMS, we think carefully about how it will affect our game. Then we decide what features to include or not.

15:38 nxhadza: Chaos update is huuuuge so it will require effort from everyone, community, marketing, QA, and of course the players. We'll be sure to open the test server when the time comes.

15:40 nxyadeera: Revenues collected from meso taxes go to Duey so he can enjoy his retirement }:>

15:46 nxyadeera: We plan to continue holding more chats like this one on a regular basis.

15:48 nxhadza: Question: Is there going to be anymore unique events like the Alien Event anytime soon? The alien event was very popular and we keep that feedback in mind when we create new content. Who knows you might see spaceships again in the near future.

15:52 nxhadza: Question: When can we expect to finally be rid of the 7th day market? We're planning to remove it in an upcoming update, so rejoice!

15:53 nxyadeera: Donald will only deliver packages from GMs to players. Package delivery between players is no longer supported, sorry!

15:54 nxhadza: Question: Do you have to say that you "make" the content? Our team doesn't do any of the programming or art. We mostly take feedback from players and propose new content to Nexon Korea. It's a very collaborative effort.

15:57 nxhadza: Question: Is there any updates on what will be done for the elemental staffs/wands? Or will they be kept as they currently are? We took the feedback from players regarding elemental weapons and made changes, but it's being tested. We'll make an official annoucement when we are happy with the balance of the weapons.

15:59 nxhadza: Question: With the Chaos patch, are you going to use real voices for the android and the new Cygnus boss, like KMS did? Yes, you can look forward to some localized voice overs!

16:00 nxyadeera: Question: What can we look forward to in maplestory? We are planning all sorts of exciting content for our 6th Anniversary, so stay tuned! Until then, we will also release additional new content and events in March. We will announce details VERY SOON!

16:02 nxhadza: Question: do you all occassionally run around maplestory and reveal yourself's and then dissapear into thin air? We try to keep away from interacting with players. But I play on Yellonde where it's nice and quiet.

Will continue editing to add. Edit: Will only add meaningful ones, a whole bunch of stupid questions are being answered ie: how much coffee do you have during maintenance. Will post really funny responses, though.

It's February don't ask about chaos...LHCLHCLHC!

Amazing. You could actually see the members list on the right side of the screen shrink when this was said.

Yeah, I was watching that the whole time. lol

I eventually got that "you may be kicked for inactivity" message while just waiting for them to finish stating the "rules." >_> So, I left.

nxhadza is breaking the rules. None of those are "operational" or "casual"
Good thing though, I guess.

15:15 hime: Yes! I do play MapleStory and have a couple of characters I play on. I'm not telling what!
15:15 oocieloo: (she's allowed privacy >:3 ^)
15:15 nxyadeera: Our favorite junk food is cupcakes, hands down. Though just the other day we had some delicious honey flavored sweet potato chips - delicious!

Aaaand I'm out. This is going nowhere.

edit: Never mind. Nxhadza is a pretty cool guy.

It's February don't ask about chaos...LHCLHCLHC!

18:19 nxhadza: Von Leon is coming in March!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
