Does Maplestory Classic have a better chance of succeeding than Maplestory 2?
They are already going all in on classic that they decided they want to do it for their other MMOs too
>>736086872So why aren't they releasing Classic for Korea? Every time they release a new video promoting Classic I see a lot of Koreans in the comment begging for a Korean version.
>>736086928Because it already exists with Mapleland, which is getting a major overhaul update with the help of Nexon to get rid of the limitations of Maplestory Worlds.
>>736087008No, that's not the same. Classic isn't simply retreading pre-BB, it's remaking the game and creating new maps.
>>736086778it's funny how every single mmorpg is literally>old good, new bad
>>736087537Fuck you
>>736086872Aren't they also trying to bring mabinogi into a new engine?
>>736090149yes they are doing a pure visual overhaul of the game
Any maplestory lorefags on /v/?
>>736091237There's too much lore, and it's hard to keep up with the main story because it requires you to hit level 290 (295 soon) which is an absurd grind for all but the most dedicated of autists
>>736091608>because it requires you to hit level 290don't think that's true
>>736086928>So why aren't they releasing Classic for Korea?because koreans are disgusting bug people who complain when a game isn't p2w.
Why don't we see another developer try their hand at a sidescrolling MMO? Why has nobody challenged Maplestory for that mantle?Games like LaTale and Wonderking were tiny in scale and funding compared to Maplestory.
>>736092316hard to compete with nexon's pixel artists and composers. maplestory is carried by its art and music.
>>736092387Anyone can write good music. Hell even a computer can do that itself at this point.As for art, it's not like other companies aren't capable. I'm still not understanding why most of the big dogs only ever try to make WoW clones and never a sidescroller.
>>736091941Tallahart is the level 290 area, and in the summer patch Geardrak is being added which is a level 295 areaPersonally I'm currently level 288 with 20% exp, just to reach tallahart I would need to grind approximately 300~ more hours to hit level 290, give or take a couple hours a week from doing weeklies and events.And considering that the exp requirements double after every 5 levels, 295 would be another 1500-2000 hour grind added on top.
>There will never be a game as based as Maplestory 2 when it comes to cosmetic community creations ever again.It hurts bros...there was so much pure SOVL in the shop every day.
>>736093062wasn't the black mage already beaten? wasn't he the ultimate big bad guy? where do these new bad guys even come from? and where do they fit in?
Will they be able to bring back the soul?
>>736093327The black mage (the transcendant of light) was the ultimate bad of Maple World as he was trying to enact the genesis, a total reset of the world as an act of defiance against destiny. Our player being able to beat the Black Mage proved to him that Destiny was not set in stone and could be altered through pure willpowerThe gist of what happened after is that when the black mage was defeated the barrier between worlds was weakened, causing maple world and grandis to fuse together (grandis went from being a bunch of separate planets to now just being a big land mass in the maple world)The story after black mage mainly follows our character trying to stop Gerand Darmoor (the transcendant of life, and basically just elf hitler) and his 12 apostles. Through the current story we gain help from the ancient gods and come into possession of the godsphere, a device made to allow so called vessels to become adversaries, giving them the power to defeat gods. Before this point when we defeated the black mage the player was infused with the seal stone, which is revealed to be an imperfect copy of the godsphere, but it was destroyed by darmoor at the start of the grandis story. In GMS we are currently at 3/12 apostles defeated, but 2 more are being added in the summer patch. With the way the story is progressing currently, it is unlikely that we will actually fight Darmoor anytime soon, and there will likely be a level cap increase to 325 or higher before that actually happens.
>>736094438Scratch that last part, the two bosses being added in the summer patch, Radiant Malefic Star and Jupiter aren't actually apostles, although the first one is a clone of Ymir who is.
>>736094438>more bipedal anime character bossesany chance of returning to good old monster bosses? maybe without all the divine godhood subtext?
Daily reminder that Nexon scammed billions of dollars from players with lootboxes by posting absolute fake success ratings on them, and only got fined 40million USD from this.If you give Nexon your money, you are a subhuman faggot and you should rope yourself.
>>736096801dont care autist, still playing classic
>>736095072they usually do a monster then a human, and most of the humans have phases/forms that are monsters anyway.
>>736086778Yes.For some reason the devs or people in charge try to overcomplicate modern takes on old school mmos. People don't want super extreme high adrenaline combat, there can be content where you try hard, but you need a lot more content where people can just chill and grind away, literally turn their brain off and go at it.And modern mmos rarely allow that. So classic it is.
>>736096801They weren't lootboxes they were flames and only the lower tier creatable-in-game versions had the issue. It forced them to reveal rates for everthing (Which were very low, prompting improvements and change), but there was never at any point an actual lootbox that had false rates on maplestory. It's all pretty public considering it was a fucking gigantic, enormous deal.Also GMS never had to reveal those rates or change them lmao
>>736096801Taking advantage of the mentally vulnerable should be a competitive sportt. never spent money on a free video game
>>736097010The point of these business models is that the whalers are essentially funding the game for the rest of the players. Maplestory is extremely F2P friendly for a korean mmo, but that's because the difference in spending between whale and regular player is so massive.
>>736097229it's hilarious how bad gms has gotten when reboot was originally the premiere of f2p championship. Nowadays you have to grind fucking 40 hours a week to keep up with sol erda in frags, do your bosses on 10 characters minimum, and more. Meanwhile KMS put in meso limits and made cubing cost mesos instead of real money on regular servers, still allows you to trade, and rates are significantly higher for pretty much everything.Everyone screeched about not implementing it on gms, and now it's worse because of it. what a fucking joke
>>736086872Whoa, I don't care much for Maple Story classic but I would fucking LOVE DFO classic. From the days where you actually had to fucking try at any point before like level 100.
>>736097319I thought korean reboot was deleted because the reg server whales got angry about it?
MapleStory 2 deserved better...
>>736097319I'm not even sure what you are talking about but that is literally also what KMS does. GMS has the sol erda weekly which KMS does not. The meso limit on KMS is base rates only so it only kicks in after like 10+ hours of grinding a day which shouldn't matter for the vast majority of players. KMS players also do bosses on a ton of characters.The last part I have no clue what you are talking about because cubes in GMS are at least twice as likely to tier up compared to in KMS, boss drops in heroic have a higher chance to drop not to mention they implemented pitched pity and mystic frontier for guaranteed pitched items and easier ways of restoring them if they boom.Yes interactive on GMS is a complete mess and everyone knows that, but I'm comparing Heroic to KMS. Both Heroic and KMS are very F2P friendly and your post just seems to just be trying to stir shit up with incorrect information.
>>736096998Wasn't it both. Iirc they also got in trouble for lying on box rates, where the first people buying boxes would have increased odds of getting the rares for the global announcements, so it would bait people into buying them.
Why did Kaling have to die?
>>736098042she was a bad girl. but nexon will probably find a way to bullshit her back to life since she got absorbed into our onahole sphere
>>736096801Has always been a thing, Asian devs are known for their p2w schemes since the 2000s but apparently these are all news to the average western audiences.
>>736097789reboot gms is complete dogshit compared to kms though, you have to do 10x the grinding to reach the same level of power. Plus shit like gollux every single day
Would you?
>>736096801Friendly reminder that the guy responsible for the flame drama, Won-Ki,, was again found to be responsible for fucking with rates in Maplestory Idle RPG and trying to silently hide it. He has now been fired from Nexon entirely despite originally being a major director of Maplestory.>>736099439That is not true in the slightest. KMS players still have to grind a shit ton, you make it sound like they have fucking frenzy over there but getting to level 290 and 295 is still just as difficult there as it is on heroic.
>>736098538Explain why they didn't bring back Aria then.
>>736086872>no mabinogi classicWell fuck you too>>736090410I dont dislike how the update looks but goddamn its such a massive downgrade from the old style. The lighting especially looks a lot like any other anime game.
I thought Gollux was now obsolete?
>>736092316>Why don't we see another developer try their hand at a sidescrolling MMO? Why has nobody challenged Maplestory for that mantle?Elsword already tried and failed
>>736086872>Vindictus ClassicThat actually sounds amazing.
>>736099746Again, not nearly marketed as much as Maplestory. Why isn't there an FF14/GW2 scale competitor to Maplestory?
>>736086872>a multi-player survival game set on a post apocalyptic cityI swear nexon shits out some variation of this premise every 3 years yall already have arc raiders ffs
>>736086778I doubt it given the absolute state of modern MMO communities
Is Hilla officially dead?
>>736099619Mabinogi isn't anywhere near Nexon's biggest IPs, Maplestory and DFO are always at or near the top, while Mabinogi always performs way below those two. It wasn't until Mabinogi Mobile came out that it kinda flipped and Mabinogi suddenly appeared on top. Although the game has received a bunch of drama since then but I can't say I fully understand what koreans are complaining about considering pic related is the first thing that shows up on namuwiki
>>736099926>Again, not nearly marketed as much as MaplestoryElsword at its peak was definitely being marketed as heavily as maple it just couldn't keep up the momentum and after kurtzpel flopped that sealed KOG'S fate entirely
>>736086778we're so fucking back, bros
>>736100191crashing out over body type A and B is the one thing unites gamers across all cultures
why were Korean MMOs so popular in the early 2000s anyway?
>>736100470I was still in high school back then and had the free time.
>>736100191The body type A/B thing is just retarded because if pressed they always fall back to sexual characteristics anyways like boobs and pussies.
>>736100470>free>lower PC specs due to being 2D/lower poly 3D>the market was much smaller back then and there weren't as many options>free
Artale and Maple Land has shown that no matter how true to the original classic servers stay, non koreans will eventually go away the moment it becomes a grind fest.
What is currently the most mechanically difficult boss in nuMaplestory?
>>736100470Lineage 2 was the only viable alternative to WoW at the time and flyff was the only game where you could be an anime character in a persistent online world, which appealed to a lot of weebs growing up
>>736096616Chibis make me feel so good bros
>>736101078Edea, my beloved.
There has never been a good Asian MMO besides PSO Ep. 1-3.This gookslop is just as shit as Runescape.
I liked the private server called Rien, even though it was a trainwreck.They buffed the exp rate and spawn of Ludibrium, making it the most relevant area in the game. This was much better than the usual private server vanillaslop where everyone grinded for the same old world tour maps (singapore ghost ship 2, wolf spiders, etc).I hope it will be a similar experience in Classic World. Don't add the GMS theme areas, keep it KMS-oriented and favor grind parties at Ludi/Ant Tunnel Dungeon/El Nath.
Thoughts?
>>736101456PSO is overrated.
So what was the deal with the original archer artwork?
>>736101661Archer was always the shortbus class.
>tfw you fire up the moopledev server
>literally 1 pixel of panties
>>736100470Getting to interact with people from across the world (which, in that period of time, was mostly other kids/teens/young adults) was still novel at the time. And getting to do so while playing a FREE game (most western MMOs like Tibia, Ultima, Runescape, and WoW required subscriptions) made it all sweeter.
>>736101994I don't remember runescape requiring a subscription
>>736102061Runescape was "Freemium" and the F2P portion was big enough that you didn't quite notice as a kid.
>>736102061the amount of stuff you could do without sub was extremely limited in runescape at the time. Being able to play all of maplestory for free was seen as a big difference
>>736086872>create problem>sell solution to problemCapitalism
>>736102419man you don't wanna know what happened with this one
are people still playing stuff like artale and chronostory or is everyone just waiting for classic world to drop?
>>736103450I dropped Chronostory because my free pet expired and the game sucks without a pet
There has to be some familiarity and nostalgia going for it like Pages being absolute dogshit but having access to an entire market of scrolls for 50k each, basically offsetting their weakness by having better scrolled gear than the popular fighters or spearmen. >>736103450Worldslop just doesn't scratch the same itch and I'm afraid Classic will be the same. It's looking way too min-maxy and autistic for my tastes. I just want to do some PQs with the bros and grind for maybe 30 minutes a day.
>>736086778If you mean Maplestory M is already hated for being pay to win that shit is jewish as fuck
>>736086872where did you find this? i would be extremely excited for a dfo classic but when i google it, nothing comes up
>>736103203Not him but tell
>>736104413https://pdf.irpocket.com/C3659/LseR/Qlq0/xEV0.pdfIt was an event for investors so no proper announcements yet.
>>736086778I think it'll be the little brother to nu-maple. A small team can maintain it, whales will whale, and there definitely is a small, +30 year old playerbase that's been playing private servers for over a decade. So I think yes, it will be better than MS2, but not more popular than nu-maple
>>736104413There's almost 0% chance it's going to exist. Remember "project bbq" from nearly a decade ago? Yeah they just blew $100m on that then cancelled it. dnf mobile had over 8 years of delays before finally coming out. mabinogi mobile, FFXI R, durango...
>>736104421Had a custom crafting system, but it was ddos by either royals or legends since it was the hottest new server on the block and broke into top 5 on gtop with 500 players launch. Server owner ended up getting doxxed and everyone had their info leaked as well, population dropped to under 200, then slowly into 100s and fizzed out at 50 online or so until closing. One of the more unique and well executed servers imo.
>>736104569extremely excited for this, can't believe this is how i found out just on a random 4chan thread lol. i've wanted this for so long and it was so disappointing seeing them do so much random stuff with the dungeon fighter IP like project bbq, the shitty fighting game, khazan, etc.
>>736104686yeah, but i want to remain hopeful since they said it's scheduled for release in 2027. if it isn't out by then, ill go ahead and lose hope
>>736104421Firstly, discard this schizo: >>736104715Secondly, SlimeTales died because the retarded admin suho decided to ban every single member of the most popular guild on the server. This guild contained like 35 people and the server population was around 100. The reason: someone on the guild discord made a reference to "gs2.exe", which is a joke about how clerics can train there by spamming heal on the stairs. The slimetales GMs thought that was a hack, and believed the entire guild was in in it so they all got banned, creating a massive shitstorm in the SlimeTales discord voice channel, which contained dozens of autists seething in anger. It was something to behold.
>>736104784From their presentation, they want to apply the approach that they did with Maplestory to all their major IPs, being to expand in 4 directions.
>>736105057very hyped between mabinogi mobile global, defying fate, maplestory classic and dfo classic. looks like the next coming years are going to be good for mmo enjoyers. too bad the new vindictus seems to be just a singleplayer game with multiplayer co op though instead of a full fledged mmo like the old one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfgBDs8z6WE
>>736105057also, idk why they are making another shitty idle game instead of just bringing DFO mobile over to global, that's a huge disappointment
>>736090410Huh, maybe I should start playing Mabinogi...
What did you think of Crimsonwood Keep?
>>736105049Don't forget that there was an exploit to generate infinite stats on any itemsThe admin wanted to implement chaos zakum helm and other downported custom content but we had to spend weeks convincing him to enable SoK to be able to trade them, even still it was a buggy mess and you had to blow a SoK every time you tradedThen it was found out that the GMs were using /listen to spy on our guild chat, one of us called him a nigger in guild and he immediately responded
>madwolf in the /v/ maplestory thread again
>>736105785Blackedgoku is the one making these threads
>>736105834yeah, that's madwolf. the autist goes by many names.
>>736105516DFO has historically performed terrible in the west, DnF mobile was specifically made for the chinese audience, meanwhile Khazan, ARAD and Overkill are entries specifically made to appeal more to the global market. So instead of porting over mobile to other regions they want to focus those resources into arad and overkill insteadhttps://www.nexon.co.jp/en/ir/uploads/CMB%202026%20Presentation%20Slides%20with%20Speech%20Script.pdf
autismoeSolidShakeKULTJewpiterraiuuutomkoScebwhich one of you fuckers is it?
>>736101527Sia Astelle? More like, Sia ASSSMELL aha. This class fucking sucks and I don't get what they were thinking with her combo system bullshit. Literally Jett2 will be canned within the next year or so unless she gets some major overhaul
>>736106036why would they can her if they haven't canned dual blade yet?
>>736086872dfo classic sounds so fun
>>736105946There's at least 5 different people who get called the same person here.
>>736106020yeah, it makes me sad how it's not popular in the west. i played the neople version when it first launched for a few years and it was great, but the game is too different now. i really hope they go through with the classic version, im not interested at all in their other dungeon fighter projects
>>736106020>DFO has historically performed terrible in the westYeah, because at the height of its popularity you could not fucking play it in the west. Its another big brain asian move on how to quickly kill your game. Another big brain move they tend to use is let the rest of the world be multiple patches behind the asian version, oh shit, now nobody wants to play elsewhere. What a shocker.
>>736106035Moron, that's all Madwolf.
Recreated my old character in the web character creator, Rasengan16 on bera (yep, was a narutard).Got this hair from the amoria quest. Never really liked it but in retrospect it was the best hair you could get from it haha.STR Bandit because I thought I needed some STR. Then someone at Terrace Hall (during 2nd anniversary update) told me no, and that I should remake my character. I said fuck that no way am I going through all that again, so I coped by thinking the slightly higher attack STR daggers were cooler and made it worth it.Yep, went on a lot of journeys with this guy, and made a lot of enemies too. Those were the days.
>>736106315no retard, those were members of Comfy, which then became Kusoge.MadWolf was in this guild and expelled every non-jr while he was having an autistic episode.
this >>736106538 post is accurate.do not trust madwolf.
>>736106538That was Ixtab, you can see he is offline in the party screenshot on the right.
Here is MadWolf one hour before his meltdown.
>>736086872The Vindictus one was fun from the beta.Hope it releases soon.
>>736106626Unless Ixtab comes back online we'll never know for sure.
>>736100191>Mabinogi isn't anywhere near Nexon's biggest IPsMabinogi has its own dedicated cons like maplestory, it used to be considered the 'holy trinity' of nexon's cash cows. But now it's a huge trash fire because devcat directors were zapped with retard rays when they tried to split from nexon
>>736106963Moron, that was Ixtab. You're confusing a bunch of different people again.
>>736106963
>>736107248is he still waiting for /v/ to play maplesilver with him?
>>736086778Is there any point in playing Maple Classic for someone who never played Maplestory? Will I get owned by the game because I don't have decades worth of knowledge of the systems?
>>736107127Seeing Nexon praise fucking FC instead of Mabi next to maple and DFO does feel like a special kind of fuck you
>>736107362No, that's for if you play modern Maplestory.Classic will be much simpler. It'll be a new experience even for long-time players because they're overhauling the system.
>>736086872>Idle DFO>Classic DFO after the absolute state of the game after the Prey Isis-era>DFO Arad that still uses Genshinshit designsThe PvPchads are right, this shit is dead
>>736107248>>736107329I'm pretty sure that was Ixtab.
>>736107605Arad is obviously supposed to be a genshin like gacha, it isn't even being made by Neople. Just cope that Overkill will be good lol lmao
>>736107624shut up madwolf.
is Classic coming out this year or not?
>>736101527>Thoughts?Chibi thigh sex
>>736108073Yes.
>>736107986Not him but I've seen the schizo call like 10 different people MadWolf, and when you point this out suddenly you're getting called MadWolf.
>>736108398shut up madwolf
Any chance this version of maple won't be p2w? Lolz...
>>736108670Every version of maplestory has p2w. But most can still be enjoyed just fine without actually paying for any of it.
>>736108398we're not playing maplesilver with you
>>736095072>kalos is a robot construct to guard odium that gets hijacked and attacks you>kaling commands three of the four perils, you fight her perils as the first phase of her boss fight>guardian angel slime is a giant divine slime that you fight because... you were asked to be a judge in the slime's cuteness contest and you aren't a slimePure monster bosses are harder to do I guess in the context of the main story. In game if the boss has chaos difficulty as one of the options when fighting it, the game considers that a monster boss while hard mode is reserved for humanoid bosses.
>>736096801I didn't buy any and think the people who did clearly didn't need that money in the first place.Why is modern natural selection a bad thing? What value exists in keeping retards alive at our own expense?
NotAgain reporting in.https://steamcommunity.com/groups/nonormiesplz
>>736100470A lot of people online were playing 2d online flash games and browser games and Korean mmos were (for the most part) better versions of those games, at least in the ways that mattered to those people.Aesthetically, a lot of them also captured the vibe of that age of the Internet where everything was either overly cute or overly edgy, anime, random etc.
>>736101974>still scrubbed out
>>736108670You already know it will be.>HP washing removed>Nexon will use the opportunity to find some other p2w to get HP, all so you don't get oneshot by overtuned boss attacksOn top of the standard things like needing to subscribe to a monthly fee for pet autoloot, opening shops in FM, gacha gear being overpowered...yeah.
>>736109019There's a good example of that already in the game, the old story mode version of Limbo had this sprite and had very awkward animations and attacks because of how big he is and his retard posture, meanwhile with the actual boss battle they turned him into another floating humanoid instead, with the monster version only showing up in the background and cutscenes. If you look close to the animations of most bosses you notice that they don't really move the full body all that much, and this becomes significantly more obvious with monster type bosses compared to humanoid ones which is why they are used much less often.
I'll probably end up buying NX solely to buy a petAfter playing private servers for so many years I got too used to pets, I never remember I need to manually use pots when I don't have a pet
How do you feel about the Sleepywood jumpquest?
Is this one of those games where 50 retards fight over mob kills in the overworld?
>>736109972No, you fight for entire maps
MS2 private server when? bonus if not run by chinks
was the "comfy" /v/ guild in royals a good one?
>>736110058cc plz
>>736108881That's fine, all KULT and Jewpiter did was beg MadWolf for leech until 120 on Royals anyway.
>>736110321why are you referring to urself in third person madwolf? and why did you feel the need to kick every non jr from kusoge?
I'm not sure if classic has appeal to people who weren't there if they're used to what is offered now? It isn't like osrs where there are a million things to do. There are like three. Merch, grind boss. I know I'll enjoy that loop but I don't know if the kids yearn to play mushroom game like that.
Why would Magnus carlsen kick out a bunch of smelly jeets out of his chess club?
>>7361107951. It's not marketed towards whales from modern maplestory.2. It's not pure vanilla classic. It's a remake with a lot of changes.3. It has appeal because it's still one of the only sidescrolling MMOs available.
>>736110795osrs also had barely anything to do on launch, it was dying until they added a bunch more new content and now current OSRS content is completely alien to what actual 2007 runescape content looks like again.
>>736110795I have seen gook autists who have never played a single second of og maple actually grind degenerate levels in maple land.
>>736110795I do love seeing numbers going up, but I like when my character goes from dealing 10 damage to dealing 1000 damage, not from dealing 3,547,984,248 damage to 5,574,369,482 damageWhat's the fucking point if you can't even read the number on a quick glance?
>>736111474Mapleland is only successful because they kept it 1:1 to the original. Classic is going to be a disaster just like Artale.
>>736093732I bursted to this character countless times.
Fuck dexless sinsAll my homies hate dexless sins
>>736112102Nah, you're just a smelly little crybaby autist. It'll be fine :)
>>736111824>going up 100x is more noticeable than going up 0.004%Obviously you tard but that has no relation to what the magnitudes of the numbers are. Going from 1 billion to 100 billion lines is very noticeable too
>>736110968>>736111474I sure hope so. It would be really cool to see new people enjoy it and really thrive.>>736111182We'll have to see fresh content, absolutely. I think harder bosses for six man groups(keeping expeditions intact) will be the future.>>736111824It's funny that unit damage skins are absolutely necessary and just starts the clock over again.
>>736086778will never be the same ever since digital tax was implemented. what you get now is completely different.
>>736112450Why are there so many human bosses in nu-maple?Back in the day we had shit like Zakum, Horntail, Papulatus, Pianus, Pink Bean... Now there are too many humans from what I've seen
>>736112450I want to hate fuck this bitch so bad
You're not going to play as a girl, right /v/?
>>736108321God, I want to feel her thighs wrapping around me while I make out with her so bad.
>>736087537Wows sudden popularity made every developer turn their MMOs into shit during the late 2000s and early 2010s
>>736112349Your mom licked up my smelly shitstained asshole so you can afford to buy an NX pet lil bitch nigga. Have some self-respect or Id have to punch that bitch in the face again.
>>736109896I like all of the jumpquests except for Ninja Castle.Yes, I even like Zakum JQ. It's not that hard.
>>736113157>zpqI have a friend who actually takes a few hours to clear this every time. Some of my anticipation is from making him stream it all.
>>736113157>>736109896It's a travesty that GMS never got the dimensional tower jump quest event outside of the current one punch man collab where you just cheese the entire thing with up jumps and dashes. It's literally a massive getting over it style jump quest and they just didn't give us the eventhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij9YHkm-uFg
I'm actually really excited for Classic World mostly because back then I never got to experience end game content because I was only level 80 something, now that I'm an adult and know what I'm doing hopefully I can get further and do some bossing or at least train in higher level areas like Leafre
>>736086778lol no
>>736108670lollmao
>>736113157I even like Ninja Castle, it sucks at first but it's pretty fast and fun once you know the right damage boosts. The only bad one I can think of is CWK, if that even counts.
>>736110240I have fond memories of it though I only sticked around for PQing about level 80. We filled the guild to 100 slots in about 2 weeks with anons from /v/ and had 30-50 online at peak times. If you stuck around for the autistic endgame where you grind 100 hours a week and get mad at it it's your own fault imo.
>>736086872>no mabi classicits shit
>>736107362>Is there any point in playing Maple Classic for someone who never played Maplestory?yes, even if you suck noobs fit right in there aesthetically Will I get owned by the game because I don't have decades worth of knowledge of the systems?no thats modern
>>736112775answer: because there are so many bosses periodhuman bosses are still in the minority but it feels like a lot cause a lot of bosses totalthat being said they put in more human bosses lately cause story bosses are usually humanoids and they been doing that rn
>>736113157the only bad one is anything in Oz - invisible JQs can suck my dick
We all know that after 4th job and Pirates are introduced, they'll probably end up introducing more classes into Classic World in the far future if Classic World doesn't die of course, but what is the correct way to do it? I don't want them to add their OC shit like Aran or Evan, but what if they reworked classes like Cannoneer and Mercedes to be a 3rd path for Pirates and Bowman?
I can't wait to do cwkpq in maple classic!!!!
>>736116574>Mercedes as 3rd path bowmenBowman has an actual 3rd path its Pathfinder, Mercedes is in the same catagory as Aran/Evan btwand there is no correct way to do it as we don't know enough yet >>736116619implies they get masteria which might not
>>736115436they put mabi mobile under "classic expansion", so that's your mabi classic
chibi sex chibi sex
>>736116784>Mercedes is in the same catagory as Aran/Evan btwI know, but I completely stopped playing the game after the Legends update so I have no clue what else came after that and Mercedes is the only other unique Bowman class I know, other than Wild Hunter I guess but they just use crossbows like crossbowman
>>736116969pathfinder and wind archer are the only other archer things I think, they've gotten the least amount of additional classes over the years for sure
>>736116619I like her chair
>>736116860yes
I would play the shit out of current maplestory if not for the legion system….i do not want to grind classes that i dont enjoy to level 200+. I await classic.
Wonder if my nostalgia will allow me to grind in this game again.
>>736117338for me its all the timegated stuff, removal of mob drop complexity, and power being tied to potential rather then level
>>736117458if nexon is smart (lol) they'd allow meaningful progression through non-combat and non-grinding means
>>736117338>>736117338Modern is filled with shit eaters that love Nexonslop, Im afraid the game is never getting better, Reboot has been killed on KMS and is no longer getting Reboot-specific updates since the end of 2023, making it stuck at Nkalos/Ekaling as endgame while reg is like a 30x exp private server these with frenzy and 5x exp coupons these days days but you still can't buy cubes so no one besides paypiges play it. The lore is all third-grader half-baked shit and has been going downhill since 2018 or so. If classic is successful it will probably turn modern into RS3 while classic will be OSRS
post hot ms2 chibis
>>736118263what you mean you don't like watching unskippable cutscenes with QTE's and a gripping story (retards being retarded)?There must be some iron curtain around south korea if they think that shit is good. Hell old maple, like mostly everything else, did it better by just being textboxes
nu-maple isn't even maplestory anymore
>>736120747no hands
>>736107362>Will I get owned by the game because I don't have decades worth of knowledge of the systems?A lot of things are getting reworked, so it's going to be a new experience even for veterans of OSMS.If you asked this about modern MS, it would have been 100% a yes.

I used to be in a /vg/ guild when Maplestory 2 released. I don't remember if it was called bully or vidya. I think it was bully but the generals got very cancerous during some internal drama about someone called neorussia or something. I never really understood what all that was about. The game died soon after.Still I enjoyed my time in MS2. Cute chibbys, nice lifeskill and casual minigames, good music making mechanics.
>>736087537You're not wrong, but that's because it's an MMORPG's development cycle.>Start a new MMORPG>Have "high damage" with balanced bosses>Game starts getting older and players finish the content>Make new areas with stronger monsters and bosses>"High damage" becomes "not enough" and so new mechanics are added>Rinse and repeat>Players at the start are now wishing for it to be like how it was at the start instead of having to keep up with the powercreep
>>736117338You don't really need to.I have my legion all at a minimum of level 210 but I trained maybe like, 6 of them.There are so many events that level you from level 1 to level 200 (with one event having seven characters go from level 1 to level 140) that's just more viable to wait for them than to grind them all out individually. I don't even know what dual blade does because I didn't do the job advancements past the first one.
>>736122980Modern is more about pay2win rather than game knowledge or skill. People are paying thousands of dollars to Nexon to kill the next 500trillion hp bar boss and one shot everything up that point. Anyone claiming the bosses take skill is lying.
reminder you can soon gen your own chibisthis is what nexon meant when they were defending ai
Omok.
>>736099619>mabinogi classicI cannot wait to get walled at G2 for months
>>736124025Only in Korean Maplestory
>>736124025classic will be more p2w than heroic lmao
>>736124191>>736124224Nope, $50 battle passes and $1500MVP Black won't be in Classic for sure
>>736086872if they keep their invasive kernel anticheat, i wont touch any game they release.
>>736124139>Boatride ends mid-game>Counts as a loss for both players
https://youtu.be/uC8h6EEqxi4?si=FO_r_e2iPEcq8Edbremember when you'd get banned at the nexon forums for speaking about old maple, but now they're making old maple. Hypocrites much?
>>736124720>remember when you'd get banned at the nexon forums for speaking about old mapleThat was purely because there was one obsessed autist who kept spamming the forums about it.Also back then when the rule was enforced the industry wasn't yet in nostalgia-pandering mode.
>>736124408Those battle passes are P2W but they're negligible and sure as hell don't let you fight end-game bosses by buying them.Maybe up to ctene at best.
Every free MMO is P2W, the problem is how P2W they are
>>736124841but he was right all along...
>>736124937Same vibe as making a "Third Job Express Pass" for $50 in Classic that gives +50% exp, free potions, free set of gear for every level range, bags of mesos, and scrolls to upgrade all your gear. But yeah sure it's neglible and won't let you kill Balrog.
>>736126789wish it was that good
