Hell's Greed or Heaven's Generosity?

Brace Yourself

As you all know, this year's summer event shocked the whole s4 community when alaplaya didn't held the 40k AP summer event. I think majority saveed up or even worked up the money they own to save up for this upcoming event. Well, surprise, surprise, alaplaya removed the 40 k ap summer event and decided to held the fumbi random shop event instead. Everyone was disappointed , crushed and devastated. But as time goes by, a new event emerged and everyone raiseed up their heads in the glory of heaven's light shine upon the rich kids. Although......

EIGHTY THOUSAND AP. EIGHTY THOUS.. OMG. That's NINETY-SIX EURO. 96. You can buy   clothes, shoes, books, a new monitor prehaps, razer mouse / keyboard, 2 weeks meal plan and so much more for 96 euro This is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to overprice and can seriously affect your lifestyle [ if you're a university student who rely on allowance money like me]. Although this event may be an opportunity for the rich brats who suck up their parents money or an unthinking adult who does't care about their money being transferred into a powerful virtual item.  

Korea and Japan crossover ?

The upcoming revolver

Last monday/sunday, korean s4 league has launched yet another revolver fps. [ yes pen players gonna cry ]

Looks hot right? Well I have to say it's pretty unique and the art design is incredible. But then i thought, it was too good. Where have I seen this before ? Where have you seen this before?

Yup my friends. The koreans decided to steal the art work of  dot HACK G,U from Japan. This weapon belongs to Haseo from the ps2 game dot hack GU 3. This weapon can be unlocked when Haseo got his x-form. What do you think ? Did they stole the artwork from the Japanese?
Or was it a huge coincidence?
Well, perhaps the art designer was a fan of this epic trilogy game? Who knows

S4 League Alice is not what you guys expected huh?

Introduction 

Everyone was excited about the new season in s4 league aka project A.L.I.C.E and some of them sacrificed even their sleep just  to play in this new season.This is the 4th season of s4 league since the first Dark Lightning Season 1 came out back in 2010. Back then , everyone was excited, "what is this" , "omg finally a storyline in s4 league yay ^^"" , "can't wait for this huge update", "yay new weapons" and etc. To summaries  it up, basically 99% of the community was excited about this new update. But after experiencing all the 3 seasons, some of the oldies won't be that excited about this new update. Well, I'm not like the others. I kept an open mind and just enjoy what alaplaya has to offer. The new weapon sigma blade that came in season 3 is now my main weapon in all swords dm matches. You just have to learn how to adapt and be accustomed to what the weapon has to offer you. No one can be pro or talented in s4 league straight away. They are a series of steps and levels which you guys have to face in order to master something. Now, back to topic, ALICE. Sigh.... what a HUGE disappointment. Not only they delay the upcoming patch ALICE in S4, they're also not sympathetic or even that little bit of sorry for breaking their promise to the whole Europe / North Americans [ well some middle europe and asian is playing this game to so I'm just gonna say THE WHOLE WORLD]

Thing is, the oldies predicted this and told everyone not to get their hopes up. From my past experience in season 2 and 3 this was't a surprise for me to and would do the same as the oldies spreading the word. And all of us was right. They did delay the patch for the next week and everyone was disappointed.

Maintenance Time

Well I'm having a hard time finding the maintenance post from the forums so I'm just gonna tell you what happened. They say that the maintenance will last for 4-5 hours but ended up to be 10-12 hours i can't remember. Basically, they are making a habit of breaking their own promise and told us to be patient and don't be mad about what is going on with their servers or bugs or patches or w/e. All I can say is this, DON'T MAKE A PROMISE THAT YOU CAN'T KEEP.

Would't be awesome if they had told us the maintenance will be up for 10 hours and ended up 5 hours early of their predicted time? I don't know what they were thinking seriously

Inside ALICE

In previous years of me killing and defending in s4, not even once a huge patch ended in a total disaster. Since they had to rush and patching up the new patch due to their huge amount of delay, everyone was desperate to play this new season and they completely rushing into it. This however ended up to be a chaotic time in S4 league which causes huge bugs and glitches. For example , the kick system did't work , the new clan system is messed up, everyone was constantly dc-ing , some people didn't receive the ALICE cards pet, everyone was spiking in the server and well pretty much concluded to be a bad patch. This has never happened in season 1 2 and 3 which shocked the oldies and myself. To be honest, I was expecting more from alaplaya but they love to watch us suffer.

Conclusion

Reason why people wanted this patch so much is that the new clan system looks cool in Korean s4 league and pen players can finally have a pet of their own. But unfortunately this patch ended up in a total failure and  

cause some players quit playing s4 league. I also rarely play this game anymore due to this patch and only play if my friends invited me to play with them. Playing a game with your best friends is just the best feeling i have experienced in which makes me hard to ignore their game invites.
