Surreptitiously

Ok, seriously. We need to do something about this divide in lag for the game. You shouldn't have to live in the US to be able to play the game to it's full potential. Healing magic is one of the biggest things here. I live in Sweden and I get a decent 170 Ping. Yet I am just unable to cast healing spells at the fastest possible rate (which is around 4). I only get off 1 every 0.7 seconds or so. Why can't Nexon just fix the whole issue by making magic slower, but more potent. Hard cap Healing and other spells to 1 second cooldown but have their effectiveness upped. There's so many options for Nexon to completely negate all Delay and Lag in the game yet they try none of them. I think that needs to change. Because gosh darnit bring back EU servers or fix your damn lag issue, nexon. >:V

I hope you know that if they make magic slower, but more potent, you'll be casting even slower. Thereby pretty much worsening things anyways for everybody, and yourself. Balancing magic without gimping it entirely is one of the two primary issues with the skillset right now, and the other is the fact that around half of the skills end up virtually pointless when you start to approach endgame. None really give combat/ranged any run for their money except for Firebolt and Lightning Rod. Slowing down magic further without understanding repercussions behind it (because vivace can get extremely fast, along with casting speed reforge), will make it so that you have a very fine line between making magic insanely powerful (because the cast time is reduced to a fraction and if the average damage is higher than previously), or gimping it (inputting far too many restrictions so that you turn into a literal sitting duck because of how slow and long you have to wait) to the point of worthlessness.

Additionally, the issues with lag are numerous, but for magic in general its highly based upon distance to the servers. This is because the game is originally balanced around being in South Korea (Where the net infrastructure and server ping are insanely optimal due to how small the country is in comparison to the US), and balancing it around the US, and even with EU/AU in mind as well, isn't going to be remotely feasible without some sort of miracle.

If you've tried nagle, MTU tweaking, port forwarding, etc and you still aren't finding any improvement, I don't know what to tell you. Assuming you aren't running a tin can and have better than a paperweight modem. But at least don't be a jackwagon. When you put forth what seems to be a complaint rather than feedback/suggestion, then feel attacked and insult instead of keeping a cool head, you don't help your cause.

Took me a while to find a family friendly one.

Anyways this is neither something new nor is it actually surprising/something to care about. If you tossed the 15~57$ away and actually expected Lady Luck to shine upon you, you gotta give me what you're on because it'd help a lot with the times of black despair and absence of hope... Like seeing this thread! If you're that worried about getting your money's worth try another game, cause at least nexon doesn't force you to tattoo "BORN TO LOSE" on your hands like most mobages.

Also great argument calling other folks "masochists and Nexondrones", really told us all there, I'll have to cry to me mum about how I was bullied online by some dork.

Hold up, you decided to quit because a hairstyle, which may even be sold by someone else in your server for cheaps, wasn't able to be easily bought because it was in a previous gacha, and rolling for the gacha would be a snowball's chance in hell to get it supposedly; Just to decide to go to a mobage?

Hold my teeth, I need to chuckle for a few years.

Title is about as much sarcasm as I can pack into that many pixels. So like most of you erstwhile people who weren't rear wrinkled over the fact that the star bag is essentially $ only and ~300$, Went and gacha'd early.

Then this pretty much happens.


Which is lovely, and I'm kinda happy for, except for the fact that after buying 125$ in NX for 90 holiday gacha. Essentially didn't get ~23k NX. Guess deciding to go in early like many others isn't exactly encouraged nor worthwhile. Also, I wasn't actually aware that 100$ NX/KK cards existed, and until now unaware that KK apparently allows you to combine cards, which seems to be the only way to take advantage of the +35% deal from Prepaid. Just a forethought and piece of advice for folks who want to take advantage of this deal.

As a bit of advice, unless this was delayed for one reason or another, it'd probably be far better to do these kinds of holiday deals before new things go on sale. Or at least, an actual notice that its going to happen.

How to fix economy

1: make checks untradable for a 24 hour duration, then reset all gold values in banks/pets and inventory > 100m to 100m and delete all checks
2: Allow a special limited time use of Defragmentation to turn gacha items into random checks between 100k-1m, expand Defrag table and add more useful mats
3: Buff blacksmithing and tailoring to give significant boosts on all equipment
4: Implement strong anti bot/macro protection, revert VHM/Conflict gold nerfs, make VIP/Daily double gold rewards
5: Increase rare drop rates across the board for NA

Uhhhh. What? I hope you realize that with these two points that anybody able to run VHM will just have an hourly intake of ~2m spamming it. You'll certainly "Fix" the economy but it'd be closer to rigging it.
