Guild&FL

First off, It seems that friends list is fixing, it's not gray anymore, but friends are NOT showing, second the guild chat is working like it was, but it is more laggy.

...Try relogging.

The 'non-gray' part is a part something going on with the interface, like eventually the grayness disappears if incapacitated too long or the lengthly cutscenes. It's not fixed.

I did relog, but a hour ish later, it did the same thing.

Ah Jeez, they didn't fix it through last night's maintenance!? Damnit!

Nope...right now my window isn't faded and it doesn't do anything. You can set a status or add a friend, but other than that...nothing.

The guild list also shows up as blank, but if your not in a guild, don't worry about it.

That just happens when you stay online and on the same channel for too long. :l

Didn't I just say that?

You're welcome.

I've CC'd several times and it's stuck like that for me. even logging in just now, it's stuck like that.

Just sit tight and wait people, NEXON'S working their asses off trying to fix this, but at least you can still play the game. Stop bitching and just let them fix it. Eventually stuff like this happens to every game, and NEXON just seems to be cursed with stuff like this. In such, it might have been another hacker attack, or people botting and modding (I've known that to crash a game before) or just something like a misplaced suffix in the game code, it's hard to know right now. Eventually they'll get it fixed.

If you're so concerned with not being able to talk to people use Skype on Ventrilo. That's what me and my friend have been doing, and it's really more efficient.

You really dont pay attention much do you.

@Nadindel, I have several problems with that.... Just sit tight and wait people, NEXON'S working their asses off trying to fix this

Uh, no, they aren't really trying to fix it. Housing's been broken for months, FL and guild chat for about 5 weeks. If they really wanted to fix it, they'd have called DevCAT, Other Nexon Teams, and whoever else they needed to, and they would have fixed it right then. Nexon doesn't give a rat's ass about the game, as long as they're making money. I still hold that the only reason it got "fixed" is that Nexon's net profit tanked.

at least you can still play the game.

Social Interaction is a very big part of Mabi. The game is not meant to be played solo. Also, the game is falling apart at the seams, in case you didn't notice.

Eventually stuff like this happens to every game

No, it doesn't. Some companies actually use test servers to stop issues like this. Or they fix the problems right away. They don't languish around like Congress.

NEXON just seems to be cursed with stuff like this.

Gee, I wonder why? If you think they're "cursed" with it, you need to have your head examined. They aren't cursed. The just don't give a flying *** enough to take simple preventive measures.

In such, it might have been another hacker attack, or people botting and modding (I've known that to crash a game before)

Seriously? Someone would hack the chat server. WTF would that gain them? "Oh gee, I can see people's messages!" Big news, you can too by pressing L! Modding and botting would only crash the game servers. To have a mod or bot crash the chat server, everyone would need to be a spambot, and everyone's pets would have to talk at the same time. Again, there's no motive to do this. Even IF the chat server crashed, all they would have to do is restart it, and it'd be fixed. Contrary to what you may think, it does not take 5 weeks and 3 failed maintenances to restart a server.

misplaced suffix in the game code. So what, Nexon slipped in an update when we weren't looking? The client didn't change when the server went down. If they "updated" the chat server, A)They would have taken Mabi down for Maint, as you can't upgrade a server in use.

B) They would have immediately rolled back the server.

C) They would have been on the phone to devCAT right away.

Eventually they'll get it fixed

When? When there's three players left?

Skype on Ventrilo.

That's just stupid. We shouldn't have to use other programs to replace a standard game function. Besides, not everyone has a Skype or Vent.

Stop bitching and just let them fix it.

Language. This is the internet. We'll do whatever we want. If you don't like it, reach behind your computer and unplug the network cable. It's better for everyone.

Now you're just being one of those people that wants everything to be perfect. I've seen the crash logs, I've been having those happen to me for over a year, I've also seen all the maintenance they've done recently, they ARE trying to fix it. And when I say hacker, not someone trying to hack the social system, it could be a side effect of a hacker attack.

And you're being one of the idiots who'll pay Nexon to keep up this crappy service. Don't bulls--- me. Nexon could replace all game content with a single, unpolished turd, and they'd still rake in money from people like you who would defend their actions. They'd be perfectly happy doing that, too, because they don't care about user experience. They just want to make money.

Take WoW or RS or any other MMO where people pay money to play the game. Do servers ccrash randomly? Do they copy/paste and unimplimented quests, which royally f---s everyone over, and then not fix it?

By my count, it's been 7 weeks since that bug. They still have not fixed it. The only reason most people are able to play is because I fixed the game for a friend and shared the fix. It took me an hour. Nexon's done nothing in 7 weeks. I weon't even go into housing. Don't sit there and spout lies. The fact that they lack simple preventive measures and testing is a good indicator of just how much they care.

All the maintenaces they've done recently have only proven that Nexon fails more than anyone dared to think before. If any other game team did that, they'd be fired before you could say "oops!". Nexon shouldn't need to run back to mommy and daddy in Korea for every fix. When they need help, they should ask for it then, not 3 weeks later. What they're doing is almost criminally stupid, and you, in all honesty, don't look too good by defending them.

You also don't seem to understand that the CHAT server and the GAME server are completely unrelated. One doesn't affect the other. In order for someone to damage the chat server by hacking, they'd have to deliberaly target the chat server. However, the chat server isn't responsible for anything hack-worthy. All hack attemps would be directed at the game server. Since, logically, the two are seperate, it's not possible for the hack to "splash over" and accidentally wipe out the chat server.

Do I want everything to be perfect? Yes. We all do. Do I expect it to be perfect? Of course not. There are occasional bumps. Things happen. Nexon, however, seems to have tripped and rolled right down a mountain and off of a cliff. Pretty soon they'll hit bottem, and the game will be scrapped. I love the game, or I'd have jumped ship long ago. Instead, I content myself with not buying NX. If they make no profit, perhaps they'll try harder to fix things. If not, the game will still flop, and look at all the money I saved.

They keep the game free, the only funding they get is from people buying NX. Do that a bit more, and maybe they could be like WoW.

You still don't understand, so I'll bold it: Nexon doesn't care about the game, they only want money. If we bought "a bit more", would the game get better? No, some Nexon Manager would just fatten his pocket. Use your head.

If you don't believe me, think back to a year ago, when Mabi had loads of players. People bought loads of NX. Nexon still behaved like they do now, and have always done. They still screwed up majorly. People buying NX changes nothing, besides the size of a CEO bonus. If you want to help him buy that 4th ferrari, go right ahead. I prefer to give my money to companies that care.

Hey, this is not the place to argue about Nexon.

End thread.

So does anyone know if the friends list and guild chat is ever going to be fixed? Twice now Nexon has said it's fixed and twice they were wrong. I'm kind of getting tired of not being able to talk to anyone and it doesn't seem like nexon is doing anything to fix this issue.

Third time's the charm perhaps?

I wish. I really do

It was working on Mari last night. Haven't checked today.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but Tarlach FL and Guild chat is working perfectly as of 8:34 pm Pacific time-and it was working 4 hours before when I logged out. So, Tarlach is fixed, I guess.
