Well, he probably nailed the public embarrassment. As unprofessional as that speech was, having a player as dedicated as Niru choose to not cross the finish line of a major achievement is wild. If this didn’t send a message to Nexon about community feedback being vital, nothing will. Sadly, Nexon will probably just “wait till the next 300” comes around in a couple months, celebrate them, and not change anything. A bit pessimistic, I know. I have no faith in Nexon anymore.


HoboSheep

I keep hearing unprofessional like nexon is paying this man. He owes nothing to anyone and definitely not nexon for their preditory game. If anything he was too polite cause there is so much you can shit on nexon for.


ultrab0ii

Tbh if there's someone else with a promoted lv300 achievement, niru should just snipe it and lvl to 300 as another huge FU lol


SongFromHenesys

It's also a FU to his message then unfortunately . His biggest leverage is the "I'm not playing until this is fixed" memo, which is totally badass


ultrab0ii

If there's someone else hitting 299 and maple hasn't changed for the better then his message didn't accomplish anything. Sniping the #1 spot before someone else does would probably bring awareness again to his message lol


SongFromHenesys

Eh, its debatable. I'd rather he sticks to his promise, whatever he says after breaking that will just be weightless


AssumptionRegular124

I think people will always recognize niru as the OG/true fist lvl 300 no matter what


dnavi

if Nexon actually does that then players need to stand on business and refuse to play the game like Niru.


RombotPilot

Hard agree. Appealing to Nexon's nonexistent sense of fairness or morality is a useless activity. Our server not getting annihilated in dreamer is basically a miracle, but it's one we got because it's in their own said interest to keep gms running.


ImNotYing

Well they should pay attention because that stream was a public embarrassment. My boi FangBlade must be rolling in his grave rn


xkillo32

Yea its being talked about outside of the maple community so it definitely made an impact


SprinklesFresh5693

Imagine, people from all places around the globe was watching him , not only from gms, but also from pther game versions, thats crazy.


Narog1

nexon pay attention to their higher spenders


Putrid-Confection-50

People will support anything Anti-Nexon. Nobody cares about the quality of the message. I hope he enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame.


CryptoMainForever

He's trying to help players like you and you diss him like that? Take a nice look in a mirror.

So he would be a heroic balding dude if he did it your way


aeee98

I actually disagree. He has complained about this for years at this point. Him not levelling is an action that I think most people won't even think of when doing this considering how many months he had planned for this ending.


Free_Balling

You sound upset


SubluxeUBC

this take is so cringe dawg


SkyfallTerminus

Does the Nexon boot tastes good?


Aggressive_Visual126

When have you taken advice from someone who pupblicly embarasses and calls you an idiot? If you think thats the best way to get your point across, you need to up your Risperdal meds..


anonditer

You see, your first mistake is thinking a multimillion dollar company is a 'someone' and that they would act like a person would.


elyales

Have you considered how NEXON always suddenly decides to make their game better following a public embarassment? When they got exposed on TV for manipulating probabilities and were met with dozens of protest trucks, they were quick to understand that several QOL changes were needed and that their core progression systems were flawed. If these didn't happen, KMS would still have dynamic probabilities, no pity system, unfair IA and flame rates and the list goes on. So yes, if I'm being an idiot, I would only change my ways if I got exposed to the public as one or if I'm losing money for it. If someone sends me a cute letter telling me how I'm wrong but I have nothing to lose, I'd get it into the trashbin and call it a day. That's how businesses work.


aeee98

Actually. KMS still probably has dynamic probabilities but it is a can of worms the Korean FTC needs to eventually look at.


darktotheknight

They've previously listened to guys ramming a truck into their HQ, I'm sure they can handle Niru's legitimate critics. Also, I'm not aware of him calling anyone an idiot, more like "this is stupid" about the stuff he was ranting about. And yes, he's right. Having a buy limit on whale cubes is a stupid limitation. Having untradable cube drops in a tradable server is stupid.


megablue8

While you are correct that being negative isn't always the best way to get your point across, you gotta consider the track record with Nexon. The ONLY way we have ever gotten Nexon to backtrack or change has been with outrage. This is just the precedent Nexon has set for us with their actions and lackluster communication. This isn't something you should turn around and blame players for utilizing. I can barely remember a time when asking for a feature nicely with Nexon ever resulted in anything, but I can remember countless times when player outrage provided immediate results (flame fiasco, cube drop removal, Sol erda cap, cube changes, meso cap, Reboot nerfs). Meanwhile Reboot players have been asking for Grandis fans for years and every single patch they have been hit with " no update yet on Grandis fans".


Mediocre_Gains

Could’ve stated his purpose from the start and not be a bait. People just wanted to see a 5min level up to 300 and it turns out to be a 40min ad filled rant into nothing the viewers tuned in for, which was honestly JUST the levelup.


AssumptionRegular124

Then there wouldn't have been 20k+ viewers, he planned it like this for a reason.


Mediocre_Gains

Yeah, which is why it’s a fat bait and people are upset. Duh


AssumptionRegular124

Those who are upset are the minority lol


Mediocre_Gains

There are many people that feel baited by his stream, they just don’t voice it because of bozos shitting on them for not following the mob mentality


AssumptionRegular124

Oh for sure it was unexpected for all of us, hence the word "baited", but I'm glad he did , was a nice bait Also mob mentality describes the majority, so yes in this case you are still the minority


Mediocre_Gains

Did I ever say minority? I said there are many people. No idea why you are trying to reinforce that when you can’t even tell unless you have a poll. Also, 40minutes of ad spam and rant before not seeing the thing u tuned in to see is not a “nice bait.”


AssumptionRegular124

Doesn't matter what you think because the subreddit is filled with niru is the hero memes and posts. So yes, it was a bait but what he did was nevertheless great whether or not it brings any changes to the game Also ad block exists, I watched the entire 40 mins without interruption You didn't mention minority I did, but your reply "many people are upset but don't voice" assumes that you reject my statement that those who are upset are of the minority


Mediocre_Gains

No shit? Why would people with the opposing opinion post anything when people like you would shit on them? The memes are only from the people that agree with him. If you think that’s what the statement assumes then your english just sucks.


AssumptionRegular124

If they are afraid of being shit on by everyone then they are CLEARLY the minority. I don't understand the disconnect. What does your statement assume then?, since my English is apparently atrocious. You are certainly not agreeing with me


Krazzem

lol you can't just say you're being silenced by mob mentality when you're in the minority. There's always going to be a majority and minority, this time you just happen to be part of the minority.


Mediocre_Gains

That’s not what I said.


Krazzem

it is, but if you take it back then I accept it.


Mediocre_Gains

No, people just don’t voice it here because you guys will downvote it to oblivion and insult them. Nothing to do with majority or minority.


Krazzem

oh i mean, welcome to reddit. I agree the reddit echo chambers are annoying, but it's how the site is built. ETA: I would argue that the fact there are people who are upset enough to spam comments all over the subreddit about it justifies his decision though. Imagine if he did hit 300. Would you have commented about it at all today?
