I played in the very very early days, occasionally saw a glimpse of what they were doing but never looked into itWhat was that shit about some dragon idol or whatever?
>>735959102
>>735959102Angelic Buster, a class that was released in 2012. In the dimension of Grandis there is a race of dragon people called the Nova. Tear is one of them who doesn't have any special dragon powers or a tail and is bullied by other Novas because of it. By accident she fused with a relic of her village which lets her borrow the powers of an ancient dragon spirit, but the power relies on being favored by the people. So in order to gain access to the powers, the dragon spirit makes her an idol.

Thoughts on Kerning PQ in Classic?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Lg4GaB3Lig
>>735960584Thanks for letting me know now I'm never touching a nexon product ever again. Unforgivable.
If it's still got that cancerous anticheat that it used to back in the day, I don't know if I want to install Windows just to be a weirdo and make a STR Mage that won't get anywhere because I don't have money and don't have friends to leech off of.
>>735961580This tbqh
>>735952608dragon knight and dark knight goated
>>735960241Unfortunately you have to play as her male counterpart, Kaiser, to get a fat tailAlso to my recollection his job-artwork sword is still a very viable option for any 2h sword job (including Kaiser himself) all the way to endgame but it requires a lot of luck, autism, and artificial-difficulty Magnus bosses to even get it
Going Page.Gonna just enjoy the journey instead of worrying about powerleveling.
>>735959479Angelic Buster was the beginning of the end for "Classic" maplestory.Whether or not "modern" maplestory is better or worse is another story, but her release was the definitive turning point not Big Bang update like people who don't play the game like to say.
>>735964254Explain yourself. Why Angelic Buster specifically?
>>735964308>High damage without funding>Extreme mobility>No MP making her cheap to play>Skills with large range >Skills with flashy animationsShe was the prototype for modern Maplestory classes and reworks.
>>735964308Not him but it does represent a paradigm shift in Maplestory philosophy, both AB and Kaiser are selfish damage jobs with overbearing power and enormous range but no party utility (hell Kaiser has a Slow status effect baked into one of his normal fourth-job damage skills)
>>735964469No you're thinking of Dual Blade, which came out several years earlier.
>>735964532Phantom and Jett were worse examples of this when they dropped.
>>735964536No, dual blade was a complete and utter shitshow that required real money just to use. Angelic Buster was everything the dual blade was but free and better.
>>735964536DB as I recall requires a lot of funding to really shine over a Thief, including needing to find their own special off-hand daggers alongside a normal one>>735964602>PhantomPhantom has whatever the fuck party utility you want him to have since he's a Final Fantasy Mime, Jett is closer to what we're talking about
>>735951309You know they're going to nerf the shit out of holy symbol and mage ults, right?This is to even say, WHEN they release 4th jobs.
>>735964626I can tell you for a fact that every single new class they released back then was overpowered, and it didn't just start with Angelic Buster.When Phantom released, over half the active characters on Bera were Phantoms.>>735964664>DB as I recall requires a lot of funding to really shine over a Thief, including needing to find their own special off-hand daggers alongside a normal oneNo, they overwhelmingly outclassed Bandits in every single way. The powergap was so big it wasn't even funny.Had some pay2win skills, but they were overpowered, and the start of the "release an overpowered fotm class" trend (aran and evan didn't hit the mark).
>>735964664Phantoms were still overpowered in terms of damage on release. Being able to steal Holy Symbol from Bishops was just the cherry on top.
>>735950636I redeemed the Fantasia private server like anons told me a few threads ago and all my antivirus programs classify it as a banking app trojan
>>735950636>people are back to chasing the "good ol times" againyou will never replicate the same environment and conditions. the clone will never be the original.
>>735950636Just in case you weren't aware, this is at 2:27. Modernshit is baked into Classic World from the start. Abandon all hope. You can't go back.
>>735964884Also Kaiser was definitely a stronger class than Angelic Buster.
>>735964991Everyone knows this already you smelly autist. Still playing it.>>735965005Nope. Don't care what autistic tardos like you sperg out about.Seeing an NPC in an official Dray86 might upset an autistic person like you, but it's not a problem for people who aren't mentally ill.
>>735965125Angelic Buster released first
>>735965245No it didn't.
>>735964991>>735965005Nobody wants a complete clone though.It was objectively a bad game back then carried by the social aspects at the time, which have all since been moved to discords. Modern Maplestory revolves around joining guild Discords just to do anything together with another person or bringing your own friends simply because nobody uses the in-game chat for anything anymore.Nexon already hammered into everybody that Maplestory Classic isn't a complete recreation either, but a reimagining without Black Mage's existence and a focus on party play throughout the game at all levels (XP gain scales with party members making it a net benefit to grind together).
>>735965438>Nobody wants a complete clone though.Autismos do, and you're replying to one.Why they don't just play MapleLegends I don't know.
Where to?
>>735965863Perion muthafuckaaaaaaaaaaa
>>735960584What the FUCKMany good teenage faps were had to Shumi how fucking could they
>>735950636None because there's no fucking way any of us get in with only 5k players.
>>735967098>sitting your bare ass on the filthy kerning streets
>>735964014Getting the weapon is only a matter of rng. If it drops from hard Magnus, you'll get it after doing a quest which requires more drops from the same boss, and by this point in the game's life he's not a hard boss at all. Endgame is well beyond the Kaiserium. Compared to the genesis weapon which is the weapon before the endgame weapon, the Kaiserium has>50 more main and secondary stat>60 more attack>30% less boss damage>20% less ignore defenseSince the weapon is also level 150 instead of 200, it also gets less stats from star force (which you have to do manually on the Kaiserium compared to a genesis weapon) so the higher base attack and stats isn't as substantial and it's in a lower potential bracket. You also don't get set bonuses with it, leading to even less stats.
>>735967083I don't even wanna play any of the betas. Don't wanna burn out too fast.

So what happened to Maplestory 2? Why did it become kill?
>>735975287Lack of content, inability to fulfill promises, resultant lack of playerbase in localized regions
>>735975287By the time it reached NA the game had been changed into an empty themepark.Before it was largely open world. Lots of social areas, mini games, open word grinding, exploration, world bosses, secrets, etc.NA got WoWStory2 with super time locked RNG content. There is also the drama around MarksmanBryan and his guild that got in with NA devs to change a few things like raid balance and pets then spread misinfo about them. Hazex did nothing wrong.East is not least.

>>735975580>>735975638>>735975287MS2 also had essentially no pay to win and both players and developers agreed this was a mistake.
>>735975287>directionless MMO where the devs didn't know where to make the game into roblox/minecraft party game, a raid FF14/WoW clone, or a story driven dungeon crawler with instances galore.Game was all over the place, it should've been obvious if you played the betas.
>>735975698>angry spergoutYep, you have autism alright. Hell of a disease.
So is any of you still hoping to get in or have you already accepted you're not getting selected?
>>735974596I know this
>>735975774>xhe didnt like kinostory royale
>>735975798Until the 7th comes, there's no reason to give up hope if you've already applied.That being said, there's a good chance they've already filled most if not all of the 5000 slots. They said they wouldn't choose players until after the deadline, but realistically going through every single application at once would be a huge hassle so they 100% have already been filtering through them as they come.
>>735975359>>735975580>>735975754>>735975774Thanks for the breakdown, anons. I never really followed MS2. So, learning "the sequel to one of the big MMOs for kids back in the day died" was a shock to me.
>>735975798>classic>n00b girl doesnt have her tanktopMONEY TO BE SPENT ON THIS GAME:0 ZERO DOLLARS FROM ME!
Is classic also going to be pay to win?
>>735976952Yes, it’s a free to play MMO
>>735974652If they use some sort of anticheat, we can't.
>>735974652What's so hard about running a VM, anon?
>>735950636Can I rebind my movement keys without a third party program yet? If not, MapleStory can fuck off.
>>735977448why wouldn't you want to move with the arrow keys? you are a subhuman
Despite preferring pre-BB, I have to say I still had a lot of fun in the early BB days, I remember when Cannoneer, Mercedes and Demon Slayer were released I was still playing and enjoying the game
>>735950636I/L mage all the way. I'm gonna be like those cool dudes I saw as a kid teleporting around everywhere using thunder to nuke huge mobs in HHG with one cast.
>>735965438annnnnd it was already remade in the same era by cygnus knights so whats your point
>>735977615Where did you stand on Phantom and Jett?
>>735977171Aran is a woman?
>>735977171>>735977230AnticheatBut Nexon is a mixed bag.Mabinogi, Arc Raiders, Finals, Vindictus, Maplestry M all work with linuxMaplestory specifically dles not
>>735977726Jett was useless on releasePhantom felt mean spirited. Stealing skills from other invested classes is mean.
>>735977726Phantom has a cool mechanic with skill swipe but other than that it was a pretty boring classI don't remember much about Jett, I think I made one, played a little bit then dropped it
>>735977789Do you know what a VM is, anon? Why would anticheat have a problem if you're running a containerized instance of Windows?
>>735977839Umm, Jett was comically overpowered on release.
>>735975798Part of me wants to get in, but at the same time it feels pointless when any progress is going to get reset after a few days anyway.
>>735978828why were there so many girls called "jen" playing maplestory? i swear it feels like every guild had about 2-3 jens.
>>735977615Immediately post-Big Bang was really cool for more experimental jobs and stuff that the game hadn't seen before, I really really liked Demon Slayer and the later Demon Avenger as pretty blatant lifts of Final Fantasy's Dark Knight into the game
>>735978828Get that shit out of here. Happyville is one of the best tracks in the entire game, show some respect.https://youtu.be/IzzDrEuFpnE
well bishop is still going to be 100% required for literally every single grind party, boss, basically everything for HS, so, bishop, duh.
>>735979776WOW, i don't know what happened there. I thought it was happyville but it ended up being some random shit.
>>735978881jen was a really really really common western name for asian girls. Most of them hated being 'elizabeth' or 'maya' or 'zhu' 'mina' 'mei' or shit like that so they picked like the most stereotypical western name they could think of.
>>735979818you're looking way too far ahead, autist.bosses? hs? bishop? lmfao get a fkin life.
>>735979818Don’t forget your bishop panty liners and gamer makeup for when you’re healing your boyfriends in your maplestory classic party
>>735979921elizabeth? why would they hate an ancient english name?
>>735979934I'm looking to level 30 which took under an hour in the latest tests at the pc cafe... It took less than a month in artale, and that's harder.
>>735980028because it's an ancient name and not a common modern one. literally all asian culture in the 2000s was about being as western as possible.
>>735980076there aren't going to be bishops or hs in classic, my dear autismo. certainly not on launch
>>735980149So you're just ignoring how both bishops AND hs existed in the tests?
>>735980351What tests, cuck? Post them.
>>735980419The fucking public tests retard, at maplecon last year and last month in LA. You're being disingenuous so feel free to go look up one of the thousands of yt vids.
>>735980076you actually retarded enough to think the release will have the same leveling rates as the alpha?
Croosader reporting in
>>735980351>>735980471While that guy is being a dick, it is true that 3rd and 4th job weren't in any of the prior tests. Right now it seems likely the game is going to launch with only 2nd job and introduce the advancements over time, since they also seemed to be implying that Orbis and El Nath would not be in at launch.
>>735965438this >EVERYONE JUST USES DISCORD NOW!!!!point is so fucking retarded and COMPLETELY baseless and without merit. I've read it a million times in million different contexts and I've yet to see one instance where it's true that the game's social aspects are dead because of discord and not because the game has stupidly automated the social aspects away.People communicate and organize in game just like in old times if the game/platform is there, not fucking discord. Most recently I played MH1 private server. Literally no-one talks in the discord or gives a fuck, yet the game is full of organic discussion and life, just like it would be in original context.Same will go for Maplestory Classic. Nobody gives a flying fuck about discord and will be discussing in-game like in old times. You will see. Your assumption is retarded.
>>735980351>>735980471????????????????????????????there were no 3rd jobs in any of the tests
>>735950636I wanna play Bandit like my old main, but I might play Crossbowman because I always wanted to back when they were the worst class in the game.
>>735980992>Dual Blade>Evanyikes
>>735967535HOLY FUCKING SOULgoddamn these simple cute characters remind me so much of simpler times
Assassins are fucking DEAD
anyone wanna play with me and my friends?
>>735982989no we're making a /v/ guild
>>735983129I'm not paying for that, shit was expensive
>>735983129ok I'll join but it's probably gonna be awful
>>735950636I'm split between Page, Bandit, Assassin, and Bowman. These four classes always interested me, but I was a Bishop on original maplestory as that was all the time I had to sink into it as a kid.
>>735983129I'm down. But we have to play on Windia. The best channel of all time, and the first GMS pink bean beaters.
>>735983967p sure classic will be a server.There is no scania/windia etc
>>735977789>Mabinogi ... all work with linuxShiiit, really? I remember running VMWare just to get that shit going in like 2017.
>>735977789I think they rewrote the game from the ground up for classic so there's hope that it will work now.
>>735981448>baseless and without merit>>>>Can't even join active guilds without joining their discord>>>>>>>Can't even apply through the in-game application half the time but instead their discord If you want to do anything beyond mid-game you need to be in one not just for the important guild skills but because coordination is necessary.
The real winners are F/P Wizards, they only got buffed so far
modern maple is fun too
>>735988593It really is. Just a different game entirely from classic maplestory
>>735988593I don't think this is funhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1Y_tRcVfqohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8SoHe24feI&t=25s
>>735988975>he didn't prog black mage back in the day with a 6+1 man (extra guy in the call purely for keeping track of attack timers) party when it was still the endgameit was peak
>>735989136>black mage>back in the day
>>735988593Honestly, I just really hate the aesthetics of modern. It seems like over half of the bosses are just k-pop idols and edgy boys who float around the arena surrounded by super over the top magic auras. I think it's really garish and lame.
>>735964536Reminder that DB costed real money for his skillbooks
>>735988975That's fine.Training aside (since it's literally the same thing as Classic) bossing is a whole different beast compared to old maple. It's actually skill-based this time instead of just being stat checks. But that also means there's a lot of things to keep track of which could be jarring if you aren't used to the flashiness of skills nowadays. The only thing I really hate about modern maplestory is how everything is just too flashy. Aesthetically it kinda sucks but everything else is fine at worst.
>>735950636I always used to play Crusader, Brawler and Cleric when I was younger, so I'm thinking I may go Page this time, even though everyone always used to say it was shit. Who knows, we'll see.
>>735989189black mage was added like 8 years ago anon>>735989303Jupiter is literally the only "kpop idol" looking one, but half the fight isn't even fighting him
>>735986551Welp looks like Ill make that then.
>>735989372It's crazy how bossing in classic maple used to literally just be holding your attack button and spamming potions for an hour straight. Most people never got to that point so I doubt people are really familiar with how it actually used to be like.Also while modern maple sometimes overdoes it with the amount of gauges, mechanics and amount of phases, the fights are overall really well designed, have great visual design and fantastic music. It's really satisfying being able to consistently beat a boss after initially struggling in practice for weeks on end.
>>735986551>WinnersBanditsF/P WizardsBowmen in general>LosersAssassinsClericsSpearmenMaybe I/L Wizards depends if the changes make up for the nerfs>NeutralEveryone else
Is there any class that can dash to attack? and that the dash is super spammable? I once played a maple story clone in facebook that doesn't exist anymore, and my favorite thing to do was to dash past everything, damaging everything I dashed into.
>>735990823In 2nd job, no there isn't
>>735990823If you're talking about modern maplestory, hayato and khali both do that.Khali in particular has the most amount of dashes in the game but hayato has tons as well while also being absurdly powerful for no investment.
>>735977615Where does the Resistance fit into this? I remember really liking it and the main quests.
>>735990928Sounds like I know what I will play.
I want to play a Buccaneer but since they refuse to add Pirates I'll play an Ice/Lightning Mage.
>>735990934Resistance is funny. The Resistance classes were actually in the game files pre-BB but only got introduced right after. They were this close to be pre-BB classes and it's a shame because Battle Mage is probably my favorite class ever.
>>735985781Yeah it's a little janky but it does run and you can play 99% of it just fine.
>>735989303None of these guys are as cool as zakum or palpulatusThey are however cooler than pianus
>>735991009If you're gonna go for Hayato, just know that their damage is split absurdly like 1:9 for off-burst to burst.They're an insanely strong class right now, but they hit like tissue paper when their skills are on cooldown. Not an issue for grinding but for bossing it can affect how you like the class since missing a burst means you have to wait until it's back up again to do any damage.
>>735989303>Try to make Lucid 2>Never took off because she was killed off
>>735989303While I get why they have to be "human", it still sucks yeah.Lorewise you're supposed to be fighting the armies of the big bad (black mage's generals and later someone else's generals) but it just kinda blends together even if they're different mechanically.
iv never played a bowman how good are theyim stuck between bowman and fighter
>>735975798>5,000 slots>closed beta testers get cosmetics for classic meaning thousands will sign up purely for the items.0000001% chance.
>>735975798If I get in, great. If I don't, that's fine.I'm still playing Maplestory either way until Classic Maplestory opens up since I'm preparing for the Erel Light class which is coming from Maplestory M, who is basically a Holy Spearmanhttps://youtu.be/tNFC3xh1Xwc
I originally planned on going Fire/Poison even before they got buffed but I might say fuck it and go Page...
>>735992110Don't go Page just because you think it's unpopular.If anything, Page is the most popular warrior pick right now anyway.
>>735992169It's not an unpopular thing. I wanted to try F/P instead of I/L this time but also wanted to eventually do a Paladin. Just hard to decide.
If Threaten works on bosses I can see Page becoming a little more popular
>>735992281If that's the case, alright. It's just that Pages are going to be a very boring class comparatively. I'm making one because I'm a level 290 Pally main in modern Maplestory but if I wasn't I'd probably choose bandit.
>>735989372>>735990450>But that also means there's a lot of things to keep track of which could be jarring if you aren't used to the flashiness of skills nowadays.I started playing in the winter update and this was what made me drop it at 268-ish. I got one shotted one too many times by Hard Lotus because I couldn't see what the fuck was going on, ragequit, uninstalled on the spot, and never looked back. It's a shame because some of the bosses really are cool and have great music, Lotus in particular blew me away when halfway through phase 3 it turned into Yakuza boss fight music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7e8fazlIPw
>>735992381It works on bosses so that's already good but I think the chance to mini-stun with blunt weapon mastery is better.
>>735992530It's unironically crazy how you NEED to have your skill opacity set to as low as possible just to not die.Worse, how despite the lowest opacity setting being on, the stacking skill effects still obscure boss tells.Thankfully in a recent update for KMS they now allow skills to be fully transparent, but the fact that it needed to come to that is telling.
>>735991714Historically? The epitome of mediocre. They have a lot of tools to work with but their damage just isn't there. Out of every region of the game (GMS, KMS, JMS, MSEA, etc.) archer is the ONLY class to never have a rank 1 player in the race to 200. Warrior, Mage, and Thief all had at least one somewhere.In the test builds we've been shown so far they're actually looking pretty good though. Xbow might even be top 3 just going by 2nd job. Impossible to say how things will turn out down the line though.
>>735992642That change came to GMS a couple weeks ago, it used to not be such a big problem but the more recent remasters really turned up the notch with how much visual clutter classes make which is why they had to make the change, especially since they also introduced a new boss alongside the change that has extremely important visual tells that you need to be able to see to deal with his mechanics.
Maplestory wasn't fun unless you had friends or a clan to play with.
>>735993082it wasn't fun then either, the fun part was socializing. The game sucked ass. everyone did everything they possibly good to remove the amount of playing you had to do. smuggling passes for kpq/opq, vaccing mobs in lpq so you didn't need to build a stupid fucking team with random classes, and more.
>>735989303I couldn't agree more. I loved how the original maplestory was more focused on the world and the world building as opposed to the MCification ad nauseum for all characters and villains.I loved how the original maple felt like you were just a blank slate with a general sense of progressing a job and discovering the different unique biomes the world had to offer. If they just keep going down the road of idolification and overdesigned slop in classic worlds, im out.
>>735974386Sry. lvl 20 only.We are running 5 minute 30 second LMPQ
>>735989303to date the cygnus knights seething they're irrelevant and cygnus goes sicko mode over it spawning a failed timeline is the funniest bit of writing in any MMO
>>735986542Well... that just proves >>735981448 point. If you talk with people in game back in the day, and got to mid/late game you joined a guild, and when you wanted to do something special like Zakum/Pap/Painus/Horntail you just got on Ventrillo or Skype. There were always methods to communicate at the higher levels, and discord fills this niche too.I will have to admit though, there was definitely much more random chatter in towns, hunting ground, the free market, etc back in the day when those aforementioned communication methods (skype/vent) were harder to access.
>>735993138A true old school mapler. I remember helping smuggle passes for LMPQ back in the day. It was so much easier to grind that PQ as a warrior than to farm monsters or quest. Shit was so fucking grindy. I hope Classic world is grindy too but not as horrendous as it was back in the day.
>>735993909>I hope Classic world is grindy too but not as horrendous as it was back in the day.If things stay the same as in the closed testing then it'll have identical EXP requirements as old school Maplestory but have multiple avenues of XP to garner.>Dramatically boosted XP rewards from quests (~4x the amount as OSMS)>Grinding in parties is not only viable now, but optimal. A party of six will give you 50% more XP and all kills your party members do give you 150% XP (basically a monster giving 10XP will give you 15XP regardless of who kills it)>XP to HP ratios are changing for a bunch of monsters, though this is suspected to be a testing thing only
>>735994139Oh interesting. I hope I get into the beta in April. I hope this goes well!I really like this game a lot, and if they overhaul questing a bit I'll probably get sucked back into the maple world haha.
Can't wait to PQ with my bros again.
>tfw no longer friends with the people I played maplestory withTime is merciless, but I guess I'll play classic to get a taste of what once was.
I can't wait to download modern MapleStory's bloated launcher just to play Classic
>>735986542What does this have to do with anything I said? To do the end-game nerd shit, you need to communicate effectively elsewhere. This has literally ALWAYS been the case. Active guilds or well basically anything in modern maplestory is irrelevant to this whole discussion because the game is completely different (a colossal corpse)
is anyone else going to make the guild besides based blackgoku
>>735996078Isn't 90% of these threads based blackgoku?
/v/ fears the blackedgokubejitabro btw
>>735989303Humanoid bosses ruined the game. The first ones were Arkarium/Cygnus. In their patch the damage cap was raised from 200k to 1mil and everything went to shit after that. Power creep out the ass.
she cute
>>735950669>>735950670>>735950937If you are not going to participate in the thread then fuck off.Anyway, a fighter like my main before. I just hope they fix final attack because right now it seems fucked up, it was fine before.
>>735952608Do we even know if they're going to have third job at launch? I hope it doesn't go beyond 3rd job. Seems like a good stopping point, 4th job started to make classes more braindead.
I actually don't like that party XP apparently gets a ridiculous boost, like at least 50% more if I recall. It will make solo training feel too obsolete and I'll feel pressured to always form a party. Isn't shared buffs enough of an incentive?
>>735960996I never understood why people were so obsessed with kerning PQ. It was too much of a hassle, I'd rather just grind.
>>735962445I fucking miss the forums they used to have on the main site. I used to be a celebrity on there during in high school and it felt so good because I was a shy loser in person.
>>735965005Refresh my memory, what am I looking at? Is this for the job advancement?
>>735965438I just want no 4th job and I'll be happy.
>>735997938NTA but the thing he's pointing out is this NPC. It's a really new generic NPC from a GMS-exclusive event called Ride or Die. The main thing about them is that they're basically the Dimension Police hunting down a Dimension Criminal, and their inclusion in Maplestory Classic outright proves that their inclusion (at least for the lore) means Maplestory Classic is a completely new dimension and not the "past of Maplestory".Could be used for lore set-up to explain why things are different and why the Black Mage doesn't exist but it could also be a main focus for Classic.
Runescape is better, Maplestory is just Korean WoW.
>>735986034it uses the same client as the modern game, so no
>>735997651It's going to be a nightmare because not everyone will be able to match the kill speed of Bandits, Fighters, or F/P mage. Essentially turning them into meta party classes and not inviting anyone else.
>>735998182Ride or die is something Satan writes out a lot which basically means “ride a girl or die”. Apparently that’s also why a political party is called a riding. They put sexual innuendo everywhere to bully males. Instead of looking at solutions to the fact that 95% of women are fucking hideous, instead they just keep this shit going lol. I already discovered the solution to all of our problems and it involves killing every woman so the retarded can’t summon more humans. They are completely fucking retarded and do not deserve the ability to confine human souls into a prison where they are now forced to be around these hideous fucks who have their hands all over them. Like maybe if your moms like really hot you’d be happy but otherwise these whores are summoning victims. Killing every woman is economically feasible, they wouldn’t win a war. Killing men doesn’t work as well, as one guy can knock up many women. It will be hard, but we can easily accomplish. My ancestors were weak for not doing this sooner.
I'm glad they completely killed LUKless magicians
>>735999459How?
>>736001367LUKless magician was broken because in the old formula 1 INT = 1 Magic Attack, so instead of investing points in LUK required to use a wand/staff, it was more worth it to just put all those points into INT and use the starting wandBut now 2 INT = 1 Magic Attack, basically killing that old meta
>>736001869Oh I didn't know that. Never used mages and wasn't paying attention to the changes.
lots of changes so far, not all for the good
How is Nemi so cute? She's in her 40s
>>735950670Spbp
>>736002024>no HP washinga god tier idea in concept, plus the HB nerf, but I am skeptical they will nail the landing. I'm sure somewhere down the line they're going to do the same shit OSMS had where players are functionally walking dispensaries with pet autopot and the only way to challenge them is with oneshots, which will result in an arms race of finding ways to get HP, which will result in some form of monetization>Party EXP BuffGood thing but>No exp after 10 secondsFixing leeching is good, but 10 seconds is less time than it takes to take your hands off the keyboard and drink some water, or talk to someone else, or even just stretch a bit. Sure it won't matter much in the long run but it pushes the mindset of staring endlessly into your monitor.>bowmen not having minimum rangelack of SOVL but if they're going to try to make classes more versatile I suppose it had to be changed
>>73600234610 seconds is actually a lot of time. Hell, in modern Maplestory it's even a burst window and also the time I usually drink water or call things out.
Why the fuck did they do an account wipe? I lost my mark of the beta.
>>736002346apparently if you teleport around on a mage without killing you still get party exp, moving around casting Haste as wellif they'll have it in final release is unclear, but it seems easy to get past it and leech
>>736002434It's certainly not a lot of time if their goal is to encompass all the older players who will be looking for a chiller experience instead of a sweaty ppl2pass grindfest. This is the same game with a group of players literally called henehoes who stand around talking all day. Plus what if you're sitting on a chair to heal, do you just not get experience while doing that?I'd say 30 seconds minimum would be fine. Honestly it could go as high as 2-3 minutes judging from my experience playing other MMOs. If someone is committed to wiggling their mouse constantly while watching netflix on their second monitor, they'd probably also be willing to just set up a keyboard macro to bypass the system.
>>736002582It's long enough for the "sweats" (normal players) and irrelevant for the henehoes.
>>736002024No diceroll makes me unreasonably mad.
>>735997651No, that's a good thing. You autistic loners have had it your way for way too long, it's finally time for Maplestory to become social again.
>>735998610The "current" changes aren't finalized, autist.
>>735998610Even min-maxxing your party won't be enough to kill entire mob waves unless you're fighting on a small map. Ideally, you shouldn't be killing entire mob waves either because that means you're grouped together and are KSing each other.
>>736003091The changes are catered to autists, unfortunately. Whenever shit gets nerfed in any game or MMO it's because the autists cried that something is too strong or OP. The skill changes are the results of autists crying to change to the game, these changes only hurt the casuals. Autists are going to set-up hyper efficient duo/trio parties to maximize exp and make use of map layouts while retard casuals are grinding with 6 people in maps that are meant for one or two people. Besides ant tunnel there's no good 6 person maps in vic island.
>>736003382>Autists are going to set-up hyper efficient duo/trio partiesBoosts only take effect after the fourth person gets added to a party and it scales. You only get 50% at a party of 6.
>>736003458That's not how it works, the new exp formula is a nightmare for casuals and will be paradise for autists and minmaxers.
>>736003091>uses my five account on five different machines to out level you>perma blocks you from any group content unless you are running at least 3 instances of the game at oncetch better luck next classic
>>736003757says the increasingly nervous autist.
>>736004224Just goes to show that no changes people were right from the start. You ask Nexon for changes, and you get absolutely shat on because they have no idea what they're doing. In the playtest there was a shit ton of bugs like Haste from Sin stacking with Haste from Bandit. These are the people you are asking to balance the game and they already ruined it.
>>736004519i'm not autistic, i don't care about this shit as much as you do, autist.
>>736004953Then fuck off retard.
>>736005113Nope. I will be playing Classic, and I will continue to laugh at smelly autists like you obsessing over menial shit.
>>735998610>banditsWhat?
>>736005158Cool, maybe you'll get a zhelm yourself and won't have to beg me to carry you this time around.
>>736005495Sorry, I do not live in your world of autistic delusions.
>>736005495>Made me remember all the awful old jump quests of classic.No fucking thank you
>>736002024t. salty sin
every single maplestory classic thread on this board, without fail, has had the same exact deranged schizophrenic coming onto the thread to call everyone autists and brag about how much better he is. peculiar behavior.
>>736005746
>>735950636Arans were pretty based will they be in?
>>736006082Unlikely.They're going back to the generic class philosophy. Aran was a "hero character"
>>735980129Elizabeth is still a pretty fucken comment name my man
there's only about a week period where you get a chance to get ahead on release
>>735955280>nexon will fuck up againyes, and I will jump ship again when it happens, again.
Imagine the Jr Balrog fight expeditions
Were they really that bad?
>>736002582Pretty sure you need to kill shit to be considered "active".
So what private server are we playing while we wait for Classic? MapleLegends?
Where will the servers be located?
>>736010662seems to be a murican lead project, doubt they're going to make EU servers
>>736008938V62 privateserver baby here, I've only read horror stories about the cubesRedpill me on them
>>736010741Well do you know how they work? At v90 the developers introduced hidden potential to items, which could give both incremental and % based bonuses. The most desired of course was attack% and boss damage%.The only way to change an item's bonuses was with miracle cubes which was a random roll, and they cost $1.20 each in the cash shop. You'd need to buy a lot of cubes to get good stats for all your equips, and then when a new set of armor/weapons was released in a new update, you'd have to do it all again.
>>736010662California, just like the main servers.
Thoughts on Angelic Buster? Should she be a class in classic?
>>735950636
>>736011983No more donut steel shit
This shows the time and order that content was released in the original MapleStory.
Thoughts on the new area between Ellinia and the Dungeon?
>>736002024>sin isn't #1 for once>NOOOOO THIS IS LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE
>>736002024>defending dice rollFUCK YOU
Reminder.
>>736015049dice roll is the definition of pointless nostalgia wank. doesn't add anything interesting to the game just handicaps noobs.
Would you?
CC PLOX I DEFAME YOU
>>736016412dont make me get on my bishop main n00b
>>736015186what the fuck were they thinking?
>>736012495 You’re not wrong but you’re also forgetting half the playerbase has permanent 2008 brain damage.Classic isn’t about “fixing” the jank, it’s about preserving it. If they start trimming the scuffed maps and smoothing out the grind then it just turns into diet post-BB again. The whole point is suffering through KPQ with 2 priests and a sin who misses every jump.If you want clean balance go play retail. I’m here to whack jr. neckis for 6 hours and pretend that’s peak MMO design.
>>736016906I want the art design and atmosphere of classic maplestory. The gameplay was objectively terrible and desperately needs an overhaul. I am not expecting perfection it will still be a grindfest but some QoL, balanced classes, no anime shit, and focus on socializing instead of whaling and I'll be happy. I do not want flashy anime shit or excessive fanservice in classic.
>>736016798>best female hairstyle in the game can only be obtained at random with regular tickets>no VIP tickets anywhere can get you this hairFUCKThe one with cat ears is a close second though
Can you believe this was official art?
>>736017282I miss MS2...
>>736017169>no anime shit>in Maple StoryHuh? Do you just mean "no overly flashy skills" when you say no anime shit? Because Maple Story without any anime doesn't, uh, exist?
Fuck me. Just when I wanted to try cleric, they're going to nerf it to oblivion...And same goes for Hermit, DK etc...
I'm just gonna play the same class I played when I first tried this game as a young idiot, Spearman. Except hopefully this time I won't fuck it up beyond repair due to thinking "well obviously I just distribute the stats evenly!"Funny, I think Maple Story may literally have been the game that taught me about minmaxing as a concept.
>>736017387They're mostly just nerfing Heal's damage but Holy Arrow is actually useful now, you don't need to only use Magic Claw for the rest of your life
>>736017378I'm talking about all the blatant fanservice, skills turning into cutscenes, player wank, cringe writing, etc. old maple leans more towards classic rpg feel.
>>736017519Honestly I'd barely describe class MS as HAVING a plot. Fucking game barely had quests!
>>736017387Stop reading too far into data shit while they're still playtesting. That's extremely autistic behavior.
The only change I actually hate so far is how everyone gets critical chance now, it makes archers and assassins feel less unique
>>736017768you really want to go back to archers just being sharp eyes bots and sins outdamaging literally everyone else
>>735950636Its not released yet? Suspicious
>>736012713So can we all agree Classic ends at Temple of Time?
Do you remember the Slime Tree?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NoF8PHQJqQ

>>736018667No, that will be Angelic Buster.
>>736018296Seems about right. Last real significant update before Cygnus Knights started making shit weird.
>>735953179/thread
Can anyone actually explain what the fuck the Maplestory story is all about? Something about a black mage? Something involving cygnus? All these new anime character bosses? It all seems so convoluted.
>>736016798>ritsu hairI'm glad all the keions got one for whatever reason
What did you think of this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue1EmX6mkcA
>>736018919there was this one dude known as the black mage, he ruled the world or some shit, then the Maple warriors sealed him away, then several years later he woke up again and destroyed the world again
>>736019017Ok, and where does Shade fit into all this?
Why is this the most viewed Maplestory BGM on youtube? And the comments are filled with seamonkeys.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sf4tEqd7co
Will/should they add pirates?
>>736018296Yea that sounds good to me.
>>736019118they definitely will
>>735953612It looked insignificant from the beta footage.
>>735979776for me it's happyville v1
>>736019118While they were a later addition, I think they still fit in fine with the original 4 so I see little reason to not include them. Things really only went off the rails with Cygnus.
Cygnus was hot though
>>736019118Yes, and include the cannoneer with them.
>>735950636I have no idea. I like everything in classic maple. I would've gone with pirates, since I have the least amount of hours in them, but they're apparently not included.>>735953615I hecking loved cleric. El nath zombies might be very relevant again
>>736019118yeah im fine with them
>>735965863Just drive.
>>736022182arms too fat
Do you think pirates should be in classic?
>>735960996why does a south korean company hire fags and trannies for its official community content?
>>736023428They are playtesters and they are based in socal. They will take what they can get.
For me, it's Papa Pixie and that strange hit sound effect.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znPiUenHhP4

Can we all agree that 2015 was the peak of Maplestory music?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_jJjw1TPyY
>>736024829If they follow through with increasing all quest experience to make it feel rewarding, I'd love to go around doing all the quests. Especially the jump quests. Maybe not arwen's glass shoe though, fucking that one.
>>736024417Too bad, you will play mobile

>>736024337"Doctor. I'm gay">Then the doctor proceeds to place his hand on your shoulder"Son, you would be perfect to beta test maplestory"
>>736020034It feels less important for mobbing and more of a bossing thing.
>>736027018...are you really this stupid, anon?
>>736015049Fuck the dice roll. It is a shitty unsessesary mechanic brought about by Asia's obsession with gambling and luck.It is a waste of time, literally. I have spent upwards of 20 minutes rolling and rerolling and rerolling until i get perfect stats. The worst part of this system is that you have to FOCUS the whole time you are doing this, lest you accidentally skip past your perfect stat line up. I have actually gotten perfect bowman, thief, and mage stats whilst trying to looks for perfect warrior stats, and I just end up locking in for one of those other classes just to have one on file so I dont have to play the STUPID FUCKING DICE ROLL GAME LATER. Thank god they are removing it, and fuck anyone who says otherwise. >t. 2006 mapler
>>736024616Based NX cash boot smuggling. The good ole days...
>>736027535also thanks to OSMS shitty code it was literally impossible to roll a 13 in one stat and 4 in the other three stats so it was rigged from the start
>>735950636Where is the steam page
>>736027868Anon, it's going to be a world on the official game, just like bera and scania. Just download Maplestory and join the Reboot /v/ guild while you wait for Classic.
>>736028753Might as well have made her a stick figure and made her head 15% larger at this point.Wtf were they thinking in 2011???
>>736028753I'm wondering how her fight is going to go in the upcoming event
>>736029097
>>736029097why is she a boss now?
>>736028753Ozemthena
>>736029208it's a novelty boss, you play as lucid for an event, so instead of lucid you fight hellena.
>>736029274i thought lucid was supposed to be connected to mercedes
Pig Beach.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6LIFBVhObQ
>>736029324Do you not know the story?Basically, mercedes is the elf queen, lucid's an elf, hellena is an elf.Hellena and lucid were classmates at the archery academy, and lucid sucked ass, but had other talents, hellena was really classic elf goody goody, good at archery, pretty, etc. Mercedes paid more attention to hellena than lucid, lucid got jealous and made a music box for mercedes, but mercedes thought it was a gift for the whole village, and that made lucid mad cause a special gift just for mercedes turned into some whatever.So, lucid decides she's gonna join the heroes going to stop the black mage, but mercedes says it's her job to protect the elves. Lucid sneaks out anyway, and finds out hellena beat her there and mercedes says "yeah sure you can help", this makes lucid go nuts, and her telepathic abilities allow her to erase her existence from the minds of the elves.Since the elves are like bug people in maplestory, they all share a blood and fate, so when mercedes is turned to ice by the black mage, all the other elves are too, including lucid. She goes insane over a few hundred years that she's trapped inside the ice but awake because of her telepathy. Eventually she comes in contact with a leakage of the black mage's influence from a weakened seal (The heroes waking up), and is tasked with constructing false realities for him (temple of time future portal, future henesys/perion), and after those fall, he gives her her own reality to construct and control in the arcane river, which is where lach is, and we defeat her.
>>736029381they should have done more with lith harborfirst city you arrive in and it's a ghost town
>>736030094The original intent was to have lith be the main hub where you see a majority of seasonal decorations, but henesys became that instead due to the ease of access to the early training areas (kerning for kpq, mushmom for scrolling, fast entrance to dungeon/sleepywood). Lith harbor was still the main/only way to get to GM events for a whiiiiiiile though.
>>736029807Ok, and where does Shade fit into all of this?
>>736030263who?
>>736030373never seen them in my entire life
>>736029807Sounds like Lucid did nothing wrong.
>>736030445Pretty much yeah until she agreed to try and kill everyone for the black mage.
>>735975287Pets killed the game.
>>736031260speaking of pets I wonder if Classic World will nerf pets
>>736031848I'd put money on them being pretty fair at the start, but no giveaways. They'll probably call removal of scales and boots and shit "qol" and just backport the current modern buff/skill system.It would be horrendously stupid to not allow pets at the start, or to nerf them when they weren't that busted to begin with, just expensive.I think the big moneymaker for them is gonna be PSSBs, lootbox cosmetics.
>>736032239>Dark-skinned blondeCute abo.
>>735950636Would love a latale classic
>>736032467They tried in KR, it flopped massively because original latale was boring as fuck and horrendously balanced.

>>735957541Right is better

>>736002024>bowman changes SIs there something I missed or are you just ragebaiting "at last bowman is finally a class, arrow bomb has +1.5sec stun duration on mobs and it dealing 40% less damage is a fair price to pay for such power"
>>735950636How p2w will it be?
>>736032778KR composers were on some good shit, nearly every late 90s/early 2000s MMO had an insane run with music.Latale in a modern sense is pretty good everywhere except global, ironically. Total inverse of maple where they got rid of reboot everywhere but global and instituted shitty meso caps and daily locks.Latale is fantastic, runs great, tons of shit to do, and they've pruned most of the predatory cash shop events. But they fucked it in global.
>>736032878no concrete evidence yet. It's before cubes so none of that at the very least. It'll probably have scrolls, scrolls means probably gacha, means probably paid stat boosts that way. So, extremely p2w, but people will likely shrug it off like they did dark scrolls back then too.
>>736018296for me it ends at NLC
>>736032869no more bow whacking is a massive buff, even if Arrow Bomb got nerfed
>>736032987Hmmm interesting did they gave any date or estimate of release?
>>736032778>>736032551LaTale had a great pretty artstyle though>>736032909I remember SoundTemPmost people seem to from RagnaroK online but for me it was granado espada
>>736033051"2026".There's a closed test running signups right now, those close on the 7th, and people who attended maplecon and the PCbang test earlier this year get guaranteed access (plus 2 day early access, along with streamers). The test runs like 10 days? or a week? something like that. Then ends, they said they're intending to do an open beta to soft launch roll without a wipe, so most people are anticipating that unless there's a serious fuckup with the beta that requires bigger changes, after the beta we see maybe a post-anniversary launch (may, 21 years for GMS) so it would start just before the summer patch for GMS which always gets some eyes on the game anyway, and may have some conversion when people inevitably burn through all of the classic content in a weekend.

Thoughts on Orchid?
Was Korean Folk Town a good area?
>>736034531She cute. Would finger her clitoris while licking her ear.
>>736034817It's interesting to me to see how even across cultures many folk tales are similar, if not in content then in moral/lesson. Don't be greedy, hear out your family even when you're mad, generosity and selflessness leads to great reward, etc.Fun little area and I liked the stories, it got me interested in cultural history across the pond because I'd never really thought about asian folklore.
>>736034531Nexon needs to stop trying to redeem their evil characters just because they are popular, these should just be kept to Friendstory instead. I fear Nexon is going to resurrect Kaling and have her help us beat Darmoor
>>736035076orca and suu were always going to be redeemed, they were spirits corrupted by the black mage, and portions of his power. Ever since the resistance got added we knew orca was gonna flip.
>>736034817It was the first theme park
>>736034817Yes because it has a quest that rewards you with a cape that gives you +5 STR, making it easily the best free cape you can get for BowmanI used to do this quest then put five Cape for STR 100% on my capes
>>736034531Cute hairstyle, I hope we get her hair in Classic World
>>736028043Sorry I don't play with faggots
>>736035076But they had a whole storyline about her redemption? What was wrong with Black Heaven?I don't even remember her as a bad guy. What job quest do you encounter her while she's evil?
By the way guys, remember to check out /msg/ over on /vg/:>>>/vg/561257736>>>/vg/561257736>>>/vg/561257736
>>736036756>what job quest do you encounter her while she's evilprobably phantoms where they literally murder the fucking princess
>>736034973Asians have been under Jew control since Mao. I'm not surprised they adopted cultural Marxism to weaken the population and turn everyone into subservient cucks.
>>736036939I did, and it's a bunch of zoomers hating on Classic
>>736036939Nope, nu-gayple is trash. You can fuck off back to /vg/.
>>736037052no one is even talking about classic because anyone who wanted to play classic played the same game classic is going to be over the last 20 years with pservers.
Thoughts on Tana?
>>736037154Modern doesn't provide anything that Classic already does.

Man how do you nerds keep up with the Maplestory lore? There must be bucketloads of it at this point.
>>736037854I'm guessing you're retarded (as is standard for a classic only player) so I'll reiterate:If you wanted to play classic, you would have, at any point during the last 20 years, with a perfect 1:1 server recreation.The "classic" coming up is an official server, sure to be loaded with monetization out the ass.>>736037992They redux the story every like 5 years. Recently they added a full on gallery/cinema to watch and read old cutscenes, story beats, and more, and even give cool rewards for getting benchmark amounts.The main story after fifth job became VERY streamlined though, there's basically one simple, singular storyline to follow, not difficult at all and it's not overwhelming at all.
nu-maple sucks ass lmao and you sound like a faggot >>736038104
>>736038421When did I say it was good?You're so asshurt that the classic release is gonna be a p2w overmonetized shitheap that you're thinking I MUST be a fan of the new shitty maple. No, they both suck.
>>736038104They remade the story?https://maplestorywiki.net/w/MapleStory:_NEXTtl;dr, what did they change?
So Orchid murders the previous empress and kills all the noblesse and somehow gets forgiven in Black Heaven?
>>736038481lilglup thinks anyone playing classic gives a shit about a "story" for gay babies lmao what a faggot
Honestly what's stopping someone from making a private server with those changes right now
>>736038625nothing, absolutely nothing. The issue is more that the owners of the bigger classic pservers (Royals, legends, OSMS) regularly ddos and shit on new entries to the space. The people making them are almost always running with publicly available codebases ripped from other pserver devs, with minor updates or changes. Usually 'idea guy' tier shit. Usually they have no actual knowledge of the codebase to make changes and just lots of promises.
>>736038625Private server? With what code? The old buggy odinMS source? Do you have any idea how much work it takes to create a functional private server with Maplestory's channel-based architecture? Legends and Royals took years to get right. These private servers are still MMOs, and absolutely not trivial for one-man army developers.Classic is also implementing new content. Not even the most popular private servers possess the resources to procure new maps and enemies. It's a whole process of conceptualizing, sketching, creating sfx, vfx, figuring out all the data from stats to drops to spawn rate, etc. Some private servers actually do try to implement custom content, and it's always amateur hour dogshit.
>>736038504Tl;dr they changed everything.>>736038587She and lotus kill a bunch of people in ereve during a big meeting, phantom gets pissed, and beats the shit out of lotus, sending him into a coma. This makes orchid mad, she goes crazy, then gets oneshot when she finds out they're using lotus' body to power black heaven (a big baddie ship). The resistance picks her up and probes her brain to figure out what happened and what was going on.She's not "good", she just wants to reabsorb her brother and get his power back. She does. Then throughout arcane river she helps you until she kills the black mage and steals a bunch of his power when he dies, that's the end of her story (so far).
>>736038954i was under the impression she was just a henchman who did the dirty work of the bad guys, and operated as a job quest boss for some of the hero classes.now that i know she committed genocide, it does feel a bit weird the story strongly attempted to redeem her in black heaven and all the good guys start to care about her.i remember most of the angst toward Orchid coming from Claudine and not Phantom, which now seems extra strange, unless this was changed in the 2024 story update.
>>736039267No, the origin story for her and lotus is they were forest spirits before the black mage became the black mage and was instead the white mage. He gave them form, sentience, and power. As he was corrupted, he tasked them with doing things for him to help him gain the power of the maple world gods, to destroy, and then recreate it in his own way. His backstory is pretty generic "everyone hated me as a kid a bloo bloo I want there to be no more meanies forever!" and then mass murder is the way to fix it I guess.Claudine hated orchid because the original group she's part of "the black wings", took over edelstein to mine and set up the black heaven ship. She hates them because they turned her entire childhood into indentured servitude and fear. Pretty normal reason to hate. But yeah everyone just sort of forgives her, but it's also hard to hold a grudge when they're the only being capable of dealing any sort of real damage to a god who had the power of all the transcendents. Just gotta swallow it.
>>736038849Royals and Legends are coded from scratch aren't they? pretty sure they have good understanding of the codebase.>>736038945Just let AI do all that ;)
>>736039771They don't, because the people who actually made those servers don't work with them/for them anymore, and that's why they haven't had meaningful updates that are more than sheet/config number changes in half a decade.They're the longest running and most stable classic pservers, far and away. But they still don't have the capability to make it better, or they would have.Also any change pisses off the chinks who run the RMT on those servers, so they'd never risk it as they get a cut of the pie.
>>736039771As someone who programs every day and leverages AI tools, you don't have any idea what you're talking about. AI code requires extensive revision, and there is no way you can build a functioning MMO without an extensive knowledge of replication, bitmasking, database management among a wide array of other things.
>>736039980>Bitmasking (lol)>Replication>Database managementto change how party xp works and a bunch of skillsalso I meant the content but sure buddy whatever
New hp values are fucked.
>>736040249everything does like 2-3x more damage, seems fine to me.
All loot tables changed as well, we don't know what drops where yet
>>736040090Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. The publicly available java sources are all broken and cannot handle more than 100 players without extensive work. Thinking you can just download a source off ragezone, tweak some party exp variables and think you have an MMO server is naive to say the least.Also using AI to produce visual content that looks exactly like the oldschool aesthetic without artifacts is also not trivial. AI also can't magically allocate platform collision to AI-generated maps, that has to be further programmed, and with multiplayer in mind.
>>736040249>>736040298>>736040392we don't care you boring autistic retard. go back to mapleroyals.
>>736040249a lot of things can change for the next test in April
>>736040249>>736040392>damage numbers must go up because our focus studies showed people like more digitsMan, that's a shame. Reaching new breakpoints was always a thrill, hitting your first 500, then 1000, being able to hit a 10k on fourth job felt incredible. It starts losing the luster the higher you go. The EXP seems shit but with the party bonuses and maybe an updated EXP table, it probably won't matter. Also these are all beginner monsters so who knows where it'd go from there.
>>736040392Stone golem bros...tauromacisbros...we chopped af
>>736040493>tauromacisbrosmissed chance for tauromacisters
>>736040487Maybe in a couple of years, as far as Nexon planning goes, this is likely what we are getting as final so strap in.
What's the best or "best" private server to play? Are there only ones for classic?>>736037585She's also cute. Looks like she was built for tongue kisses.>>736037915One of my favorite themes from the game. Love fantasy Detroit but Korean.
>>736043012for classic the best english pservers are royals, legends. Both have all the shitty old garbage everyone hated about classic (like hp washing). New ones pop up every month or two using an existing source. I'm not sure what the newest is.For modern maple there's a billion choices, some exist as boss testers (less worthwhile since practice mode got fixed up in main game), some are just multi added and free NX, some remove cubing and reinstate the stats onto items through scrolling and starforce.
>>736043012The best “private servers” right now are probably the ones in Maple Worlds, the more popular ones being Artale and ChronostoryArtale is closer to old school MapleStory with minimal changes but it’s full of Chinese botsChronostory has a lot of changes, making the game a lot easier, and trading with other players is disabled, but it has no bots because of that
>>736043261>worlds>where the physics are completely and entirely fucked with no way to fix it>with a bunch of extreme p2w shit forced inlol
>>736036939i know more about maple than most since i actually search for info and korean websites instead of having it fed to me but i refuse to use that general since it's literally just discord
>>736044094It's funnier than that even, the original members are all on discord now, so it's literally just the people too annoying for the discord. They're so passive aggressive and effeminate they don't reply to posts, thinking it's some sort of gotcha or own.It's wild.
>>735950670this is on tier with that shitty "I'm nonbuynary" joke, get better material
>>735957541why is she so angry
>>736043214Royals/Legends are late-versions of the game and don't scratch the same itch. They have everyone wearing clothes from nu-gayple which kills the vibes.
>>736044527Then you're shit out of luck, no one wants to play "early" maple because it sucks.https://github.com/EricSoftTM/OrionAlphathere you go though, set it up yourself, isn't too hard.
I will NOT have sex with chibis
>>736044329>original members are all on discord nowNo one on discord is an "original member". It's all nu-maple zoomers.
>>736044680I mean I've been playing since the original 2spooky days in 2005. Not part of the /vg/ guild but I know plenty of people from spooky went there for ms2 (lol).
>>736044680>anon acts like people don’t just move to different chat services with friendsMoved from mumble, to Skype, and now discord it’s pretty easy
>>736044329>post something interesting or try to start a discussion>thread just dies>someone posts an image of kaling/lara/whichever fotm>the discorders reply to each other in inane babble postsi think even by /vg/ standards that general is hopelessly awful
Why would anyone in their right mind play this gacha shit after the top player literally grinded to an unprecedented level to quit before doing it just to make a point? It’s not the same game we played 20 years ago, retards, if you want the nostalgia so bad go play on a private server.
>>736045120you okay?
>>736045120uhhhhhh the top player got to max level though????are you stupid?
>>736044964Spooky people came after Extalia, they were the original "zoomers". The og's are from MapleDestiny which was the spiritual successor to OdinMS and was around from 2008-2010. Extalia was 2011-2013, Spooky was 2015+
>>736045205spooky was made in 2005 on bera in the /v/ threads, mongoloid. Extalia didn't exist yet.
>>736045120I play it cause I have fun. :)
>>736045120I don't want to play on a private server.
>>736045260You weren't even born then retard
>>736045076Anyone who uses discord is a nu-maple zoomer and haven't been around pre-2015
>>736029381I like how this map is referenced in games.Both Risk of Rain and Souls Remnant have copy cat versions.
>>736045382>zillennial fag thinks pre-2015 is enough to qualify him as an old maple fagdumbass
I own 2spooky on bera as of today.it was made in 2012. July 28th, 2012. If you have an archive that goes back that far you'll find threads about it.There were like thirty or forty /v/ guilds before that spread across all the worlds. Bera was the most popular one because it was one of the earliest servers and there were people who were already in 4th job there, level 150+, some higher. Most of the other servers didn't have that.People played for a couple months, around a year before the original owner stopped playing, a few people in the steam group came back together for ms2 but most didn't even play.the history of /v/ in MMOs is not nearly as complicated as most of you try to make it seem. Nearly every game does the same shit where a guild gets made then everyone quits in a month or two. No one from that original period besides 1 or 2 people still even play. Maplestory is just my autistic fixation.thanks for listening to my blog
>>736026926AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I GOT OFFA TRACK
Is there any chance they'll "reset" the name list for Classic World?What if the name I wanna use for my character is already taken by someone in the modern game?
>>736046227There's still not even a guarantee it's using the same client. They've been really particular about avoiding answering that. So, if it's the same client, 100% chance they do a name clear, they skipped a recent one KMS did, and it would make sense as to why if it was to free up chaff for classic.If it's a separate client, it won't even matter.
>>736046227close to zerothe competition would be way too fierce and nexon doesn't like nickname trading (unless they run it themselves)
>>736045713>2012 By that time this newfag played we already played on OdinMS, LocalMS, DestinyMS and Extalia. Spooky is a third/fourth gen guild and this guy didn't even play pre-big bang. Just some nu-maple zoomer no one knows outside the /vg/ discord
>>736046421I started 2007. Probably earlier but the quest changes reset the main story/maple island quest dates.I don't know why you're so upset. Just providing facts.
Has anyone ever figured out if Tiger and Fangblade were real people or several people sharing an account?
>>736046561don't bother, he's probably some poser that only experienced old maple through pservers desperate for validation
>>736046585Tiger was several people sharing an account, there was like 24/7 uptime. Rumors they hacked but nothing proven. The sharing was why they got wiped off the rankings.Fangblade was one guy.
>>736046561Nothing is fact besides that you're a post-big bang baby making classic threads.
>>736046723ok
i liked MS2
>>736046669Spooky has always been a guild for posers though.
>>736046797It was okay, it was nothing like maplestory at all though, the early alphas and very early release were close, but still had mobile game tier key "Stamina" for boss fights and shit, really lame. The focus on doing literally anything besides grinding for exp, them making grinding worth less exp, them adding that faggy storyline all made it worse.
>>736046890i liked the minigames and the fact that you could put w/e on your clothes and "mount" so it was meme central. I kinda miss that
>>736043214>>736043261Thanks, anons. I guess I might go with Legends since there appears to be more players on it.
>>736046297They explicitly said it you'd access classic from the same client as modern, a long time ago.gMS got a name wipe last november, but there's still not enough names, especially with hoarders.
>>736043261i like that one weird roguelike server on there, southperry i think?
Godwolf and Godku won
>>735950636when does it release
>>736037992How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?https://thestoryofmaple.squarespace.com/
>>736048039Closed Test next month, that's all we know
>>736046797we know, everyone likes MS2 except none actually ever played it
>>736048039They are doing a closed test, but i pray that they do a crazy soon reveal like perhaps June, july or august. Summer would be out, people would have more free time etc.
>>736049269>Summer would be out, people would have more free time etc.no one under the age of 20 has never heard about the mushroom game
>>736049041>no one has played darude sandstorm in lith harborok, retard
>>736047480ot a source for that? I've yet to see it anywhere, just thrown around on here.
>>736040392My boy zombie lupine moved to endgame as a level 75 mob. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea? This is why we need 1:1. Zoomers don't know how to balance the game.
>>736046797MS2 was neat but they had no clue what to do with it, slapping on a main story after initially trying to be a sandbox style game was an absolute disaster. beyond that the game played the whole nostalgia thing way too hard, it had barely any real original content.
Anyway, I hope I get selected for the closed test but I'm usually very unlucky for these kinds of things so I doubt it, but who knows
>>736049397Teachers? Seasonal workers? Shorter college classes. Im saying it as more of a general statistical sense as opposed to a hard set fact. Btw I doubt it will release this summer. It is probably going to be sometime at the end of the year or early next year. </3
