All the negative reactions to this thread (such as the one above me) suggest something about the player mindset right now. I'll leave that to you over at Nexon to interpret.....
And, while this is a nice change of pace (to hear somethign about a patch from a GM), it is kind of disapointing for it to beĀ all positive (especially considering the current player mindset).
I know this isn't a suggestion thread, but the idea of making the satellite scanner function like the heartbeat detector but throughout the map is a good one. That way, its not quite as overpowered (since players would have to open their maps to see it. And, the maps don't have much of a function currently anyway......). Or an item to block the scanner (but please, for the love of free play, don't make it NX only, and don't make it cost an obscene amount of money.....and maybe only make it for NON-specialists to balance them a little bit more).
And, I think quite a few of us are waiting to hear anything about the potential removal of the nut shot, but that's somewhat unrelated (although I do think that Nexon may want to consider releasing an "official" statement of sorts about the controversy.....).
Well, anyway, nice to hear some comments from a GM.....still waiting for that next behind-the-scenes personality description and whatnot -Hime- ;-)
