I am Jack's complete and utter lack of surprise (and thanks for this, because I haven't installed the Dec. 8th update yet). But really, NK patch bugs? LOL!

This is sad. I was hoping that the NM update would be the "great leap forward," NK redeeming themselves (I know, I'm hard-headed). Thus far it hadn't been, and this only makes it worse. It sucks, too, because I really wanted it to give us max'd-out players that same feeling we got way back when we first played it. It's kind of doing the opposite, turning it into the same old grind that it becomes between Level 80 and 100. if your character is max'd out and has all the RED Gear they'll ever need (it's really not necessary to have BLACK Gear to top matches), what's really the point in playing NM besides the challenge and the Elite loot? The ticket exploit was kind of a saving grace there, really.

I don't really think I'm going to be playing this game much, if at all, from now on. There's no new maps, it'll always be an unstable app (runs like crap on devices which FAR exceed the listed system requirements), the MP protocol will always be peer-to-peer (which multiplies latency with the way $A$ 4 implements it), NK artifically prolongs the grind because that means more play time and thus more ad delivery, and the only new features -- which you don't need, when you really get right down to it -- are essentially attainable to any reasonable degree only via the Store. I don't think I can switch to PC either, because I just can't support a company like this in any way, shape, or form anymore, not even with my time. It's just disgusting.

Oh, well. I guess if I only play it to kill time when I'm taking a crap, then at least the toilet and my device will be on the same page in terms of what they're currently occupied with.
