A new test server patch was released, with the new boss Kaling, a new area Shangri-La, another piece of the Ethernal set, and Exceptional Enhancements. While both the area and bosses look and sound absolutely amazing, I’m disappointed that it’s another mini expansion to Odium (like Karote was to Hotel Arcs).

Of course, there’s also the drama about how bad regular server is and what Wonky talked about during the livestream yesterday. I’m not going to cover it (I still have nightmares about the 1000 different notices and letters during the flame incident) but in my personal opinion, there are a lot of valid criticisms of reg server that probably need to be looked at but I definitely didn’t expect them to do anything about it this patch since it’s a really complicated situation overall (also the whole “KMS just discovered Reboot” take is really so dumb lol).

For what Wonky said, I think part of it was that he got emotional and made some off the cuff remarks that people took really badly (some stuff taken out of context as well) and another part is they definitely should’ve prepared better for those questions/comments since it’s everything players have been talking about the last couple of weeks. I have absolutely no idea why he, as the director of the game, thought he should address it like that lol. They already took down the stream VOD and he posted an apology so the Nexon PR team will probably be working overtime from now on.
