Unscheduled Server Maintenance - 06.29.2011

At least they're fixing them, imo.

This. I would rather have a game working it's best than some buggy crap that was released just to satisfy a schedule.

At least they're fixing them, imo.

Now that i'm pretty much done raging about how long this is taking. I'm at the point where I can atleast appreciate that nexon is doing SOMETHING.

Our update is no where near the content-breaking cap as theirs.

DFO:
- New Thief class being added!
- New Level cap, New content! Race your character to 70!
- Fatigue Point System removed. Blitz Point System added - play DFO without ever having to stop!
- Avatar Bazaar removed. Selectable Avatar System added - pick and choose the exact style and stat option you want. Truly fight in style!
- 7 new dungeons added!

Its like doing this:
- OHAI DAR, MERCEDES? WHO WANT.
- LEBEL CAP: 250
- Some kind of token system limiting gameplay getting removed (could be those golden temple tix for example)
- Hey gaise, we added moar options to the Character Creation screen.
- Guess what. WE ADDED AN EDELSTEIN CLONE.

Well, I just realized that the DFO team probably isn't used to handling big updates.

These are the reasons Tespia is around, but Nexon has their head too far up their ass to understand how to utilize it correctly.

They should have a pre-tespia, where people can send a bug report about broken bug reports on tespia.

Exactly. They should give Tespians EVERYTHING to test, not test some content and then all the sudden Nexon throws this Jumpstart event bullshit right at us.

A Tespia for a Tespia? It actually sounds like a good idea. F3

This isn't biased at all

Thats right.

In my opinion, they should make an exact copy of accounts that are accepted. Put them on the Tespia server. In the main UI, there should be a disclaimer saying that it's Tespia so people don't accidently screw up their main accounts thinking it's their Tespia one. Then patch the EXACT same patch they plan for the Live version of the game. Fix bugs over the week as they're found.

I'm still a little annoyed considering they released the patch to the public 3 days before the actual update day. And that they couldn't manage to test out the kinks in those 3 days.

I can't wait to see how the game looks after they fix it!

And I can't wait to wonder how long it'll take! Any guesses on ETA? haha. I'm gonna guess 5 hours

Thanks!

Gonna be playing later tonight~

lol... hope you're in AUS when you said that

Given that they did the update completely wrong, i.e. most likely they copy the main server setting/files to testpia for testing, then copied back from testpia to main even though they've fixed/changed a bunch of stuff while testpia was up (maple weapon changed from untradeable to tradeable, rex pq fix, etc) thus overwritten all the aforementioned things, I'm guessing they're redoing the whole update from scratch again.

10 more hours is my estimate.

Nexon, fire those who's responsible for this embarrassment.

On a second thought, don't. You'll probably fail at firing someone, not changing passwords and other important things, and then get hacked by your fired employees in a week.

DFO is now up. Maple is still down.
Should I play Thief or should I sit here refreshing Beysul, Meypul and Southpurry?
11PM PST.

*Update 2* The maintenance is scheduled to end at 11pm Pacific (2am Eastern). Some additions to the notice have also been added.

- Note -
There has been a concern that the Phantom Blow Skill Book was not given to Dual Blades. As with other skill books, it must be obtained from monster drops. Please hunt Zakum or Chaos Zakum to find it.

Lol, I love how they think throwing up the game for 3 hours, somehow makes a 6 hour SC legit, with a 14 hour patch before hand.
