Unbiased non-forumerās opinion coming through not playing the game of the forum. Hold the doors.
Itās a common occurence in that whenever kNexon gets their hands on a game, they want to definitively provide the ābestā service they can get. Unfortunately, this occurence usually means eating up the manpower and resources a dev company can provide. Typically I notice there will nearly always be long month upon month delays of content to other versions that initially came to the West. That, combined with the lack of staff (I swear man, IMC is quite literally Icarus and Icarus right now is a floating pile of charcoal) makes IMC having to focus their work on kToS and jToS meanwhile weāre left for dead aside batch updates really.
It can be. Actually, the better answer would be yes since IMC makes it hard on itself by using such archaic coding. It honestly depends on the coding platform they decided to use; which is old and involved. Why?
ā ā ā ā if I know, they liked their Grando Espada, lol.
It really just comes down to neglect. Anyone who has actually played the game will tell you there was a period of around 2 and 1/2 months where playing with your friends was impossible due to a warping distance bug- whereas if you were too close to a person doing anything that warped your teammates to you- They were permanently rooted to the ground. This was where the game lost a HUGE amount of players through imcompetence; and I donāt blame someone. If it takes your forums blowing up with memes, flames, and innocent people giving you the rundown of your glitch but because you have other priorities you have to ignore them for two months then there really isnāt much to say in that regard.
If IMC actually sought out a larger team than something less than a damn Bakers Dozen then perhaps weād actually have our own dedicated team we could whine to. But itās all shared, and Iām damn sure that Nexonās contract with them (Nexon also just invested more money into IMC itself) means that Nexon is their absolute priority while leaving us in the dead. In my experiences with other Nexon games, this happens really frequently with alot of their titles and whether it yields death or just straggling I canāt say. Certainly isnāt a healthy practice.
They donāt hate us. They just have to always tend to Mother Nexon in her bed, so they canāt come out to play with us. And itās sad.
