Last day to sign up for Classic World's Closed Test
>>736547218i beta tested the original maplestory, no thanks.
>>736547218im waiting for yuma nest to be completed instead of playing another nexon game
Really stuck between Crossbowman, spearman, and fighter. I am leaning toward crossbowman because I dont want to slash blast for 2000 hours
Someone post it.
>>736547667
Signing up is useless if you don't have your old accounts and haven't played modern maple, isn't it? >post itThis?
the game itself is boring shit, i dont know what do you niggers expect, the only
>>736547667ok, fine
>>736547218Why the hell do they need an alpha or beta test on an old game? What the fuck do they want to test?
>>736550425It’s a modern engine and it isn’t a 1:1 remake, a lot of changes.
>>736550425they remade the whole game, it's not just the same old build that private servers use, it has a ton of bugsand they also wanna test the balance changes
I'm not going to get in the closed test and release is never ever I can't take it anymore
>wanting to beta test for freelol>for nexonLMAO
surely not THAT many people signed up, right?
>>736547456based. Yuma Nest is great.
>>736551601where does it say beta?
we're all gonna make it, bros
>>736551247It’s releasing this year for sure
>>736551601Cope fag
Anyone made it in?
>>736547218Why do you retards want to even play this? It isn't going to be like before. Why play this when you could play on a private server with even worse rates? This is more p2w. It will take 500 hours just to get to level 30 while only being able to use 1 skill for the entire game until 4th job. The only good part of original MapleStory was monster carnival and even that devolved into trade wins.
Pservers are gayEconomy/player wipeCause I like the gameNostalgiaTo anger you further
It's just fun
>>736555898Private servers are never worth it because they have no community outside of mega autists who grind to 120/200 immediately and then harass the newbies
>>736555898is this a reverse anti-shill nexon tactic? You guys are so stupid goddamn
>>736551601>he doesnt want a free cbt hatI love cock and ball torture!
>>736555898is fun
>>736555898I want to kill slimes for 40 hours and pretend I'm 10 years old again. That's it. That's all. I don't need a new permanent fixture in my life. I don't need to play it forever. I just want a couple weeks of nostalgia overdose to put me to sleep.
>Had a dream last night where I got an email saying I didn't get inI feel retarded for giving this much of a shit over a 1 week beta test
>>736549813That is a pussy and a butthole!
>>736557652it's not the 1 week beta test that matters, it's the extremely exclusive beta tester ring and chat bubble items you get and will forever mog every other player with that matters
>>736547218No I wont beta test their game for free, ill let others do that and enjoy the game when it officially releases.
What do you personally want out of classic? My dream is that they make a secondary third job path for each second job. So an Assassin can turn into Shinobi in third job instead of Hermit and then into a Kage fourth job and have more tradional ninja available for use, Kunai with an explosive tag, a stationary clone to swap places between, Kunai with chain to bind an enemy/boss in place. Kage would get access to some fire/lightning element skills like giant fireball, a lightning strike infusion, a waterfall type attack that sends all the monters on platforms to one side of the map on the bottom. Bandit could advance into Darkblade in third job and into Deaths' Shadow in fourth job, focusing on harnessing shadow/dark element into their daggers and releasing it.
>>736559863Shield Mastery is an active skill that allows players to parry anything for 1 second
>>736559863Buffs making every class viable, PQs getting extended level ranges or revisited (Kerning with new mechanics for 3rd job), and really just an active community.Post screenshots, I lost my folder recently.
Darkblade will be an "on hit effects" class that starts off just with some dark element infusions for daggers, a shadow dagger summon beside you that attacks on its own and looks sick. You'll be able to leech life back or explode shadow stacks for extra damage lines. In fourth job the shadow partner equivalent would be something like an imperfect susanoo that you can activate for a minute or two that will do extra attacks for you. If it defeats a mob it will summon shadow skeletons for 10 seconds to fight enemies around you.
>>736547667nexon is like 15 9/11s
Gonna play warrior and get to like 60~ and then quit
>>736562113AS GOD INTENDED
uhh bros, according to leddit codes are being sent out
>>736559315it's not a beta test, just a test
Is this the same beta test that's only like 5000 slots and has priority to people who went to some random IRL Nexon event?
>>736562889yes, the chances you actually get in are fucking tiny as fuck
>>736562889yes
you guys got in right? :)
>>736562998Fuck off
>>736560049>Shield Mastery is an active skilIdiot.
>>736562889No that's already over.
>>736562998Did anyone on /v/ go to the events?
>>736564693I did since it was close by.
They should actually change certain mechanics and skills from the ground up rather than the usual buffing/needing using preBB as a base.Change Magic Guard so it only protects 20% of max HP.Make Threaten reduce defence% rather than a fixed value.Make Charge Blow a proper attack and not something that eats the charge buff.Hunter should have iron arrow, crossbowman should have arrow bomb.Enforce all classes to invest in secondary stat and remove all secondary statless build viability.Make zakum helmet a level 150 equip, and make them extremely difficult to get (not something the boss drops multiple instances of)
WE'RE GOING HOOOOOOOOMEI'm going to make a cleric and eventually become a Bishop with Mystic Door so I can send new people to helpful places with neat stuff and shortcuts for them
>>736564749>needingnerfing*phone autocorrected
>>736564749Also implement a cooldown for mage ults. I dont think they should be removed because they're pretty cool and make the class unique, but they shouldn't be spammable. I don't care how much this upsets autistic ppl
>>736564725V-victor!?
>>736564693i drove to the test in LA because it was my day off and i thought "why not"? it wasn't that full because a bunch of people who signed up didn't show up. they let people just walk in and play
>>736564749>Make Threaten reduce defence% rather than a fixed valueThey did that already, and now it works like a taunt as well, so it you use it on passive mobs they’ll aggro on you
This shit still isn't out? I swear they've been shilling it since early 2025
>>736565098this might come as a surprise to an autist like you, but game development takes time. GTA VI has taken 13 years and counting.
>>736565234It's a fucking classic server autists with too much time and no source code or server files figured out how to host these since like big bang came out.
I'm going to finally become a Hero (lie)I hope I don't fuck my build like I did my original warrior
i felt like i played original maplestory for years when i was a kid but i think my highest level was a 48 page
LFP@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
>>736565293Yes, and it was a buggy broken mess. It took years of development for Royals and Legends to fix and rewrite the original OdinMS source.Classic is a remake of old Maplestory using the new engine. Of course they're going to need time to make sure everything works. This is especially time-consuming for an MMO as you have to account for loaf balancing and large scale replication.
>>736565491>loafload*autocorrect again...
>>736550425>thinking they just fired up an old buildThey need people as retarded as you to play so they can see how the average player will do
>>736551601>free hat>>736555898>fresh>kill slimes and shrooms with the OST in the background>play other gamesI'm not a min/max endgame rush faggot. I just like listening to the Ellinia bgm
>didnt get an email
>>736557652>5000 slots>500000000 accounts signed updont worry Anon you'll get in for sure
>>736547218Bruh
>>736565687don't worry bro, they haven't sent out codes for the general population yet, only for maplecon goers and pc cafe testers
Are the emails really out?
>try out maple story>use the arrow keys to mo....>close game and uninstall
>>736564749magic guard should only protect against magic attacks, not touch damage
>>736566314Good. We don't want zoomoid idiots like you.
>>736566316shut the fuck up autist
>>736547218i played this back when i was poor and couldn't afford a proper mmo, so why would i play it now
>>736566387You're still angry over losing the argument huh
>>736566406because you have to be rich to play it now
I'm barely seeing anyone post about getting a code. Those in-person events must have been dead as fuck. Looks good for gen pop access.
>>736566705nice, our chance of getting a code went up from .0045% to .0138%
>>736566554fair point
>>736566554Never understood this
Please tell me world tour won't be in the game. All of Mushroom shrine, Singapore, NLC, Malaysia, etc made the game worse. So many flat, boring maps but all the monsters were given a 50% exp boost relative to HP and level because world tour needed to be better than KMS maps for some reason.So much of the game became centralized around these maps because flat design + high spawn rate + inflated exp was highly optimal. Once Entrance to the Spooky World dropped, nobody trained anywhere else from levels 90-120.If the game had goof design, then the challenging, hard to navigate maps should provide the best exp yields per monster. Also, the more dangerous the monster, the better the reward should be.
Magic Guard.
>>736566815Any true mapler knows odds like that are worth grinding for.
>>736549087No, this one
>>736550425to build hypestatistics show that closed and open betas generate higher interest on official launches than just flat out releasing a gameunless it's like a huge major AAA title or something that everyone already wants to play anyways
>>736567626Plus the game is riddled with bugs.It's not a copy and paste of the code but writing it from scratch to mimic it.
>>736557652>>736557914>B-BEATER?!>MASAKA!!
Magic Guard should protect at least 90% of max HP. Playing mages is too difficult.
QUICK! claim your maplefu!
>>736567678pretty sure it's running in the modern "engine" yeah or whatever they use... which is good probably means better networking and security against hackers
>>736567841
>still cant play it on linux for literally no goddamn reason other than the devs not flipping a switch to let proton through
Why do you guys wanna play the beta and burn out earlier? At least with other CBTs, it's a new game so you're satiating your curiosity on how it plays but you all already know what you're getting into with Classic Maple.
Flop incoming in 3..2..1..
>>736549087So she was just having you steal money from the government or a gang or something for her, right?
>>736568457>Flop incoming in 3..>2..>1..
Why does the troon insist on using cuckjacks?
>>736568364>burn outit's only 7 days, that's barely enough to get 2nd job
>>736566314Aight what controls did you expect it to have? It's a 2d MMO
Are they going to keep him in?
>game doesn't run on Steam DeckDOA on arrival
>>7365686452nd job is endgame
>>736564749>Hunter should have iron arrow, crossbowman should have arrow bomb.Why?
>>736566942Next battle pass for modern is going to be $50 for 2 months of premium rewards earned through gameplay, then they're repeating it again two more times so in order to get anything useful during the summer patch that lasts 6 months you'll need an entry fee of $150 minimum for the game not to feel like a demo. I was Ok with paying $30 for a 6 month battle pass before, but this shit is ridiculous. It will also have enough exp for anyone to go from level 285-290 which usually takes half a year-a year of grinding at 200 hours per level.
>>736568925This would be really nice.... playing MS when potat mode in bed on a sunday would be cozy as fuck
>>736569103Why should it be the way it currently is?What to you think would happen if you attached a bomb to the end of an arrow aiming with a bow? Gravity would weigh it down and it would be near impossible to aim. Meanwhile a crossbow could handle a bomb just fine because it would be resting on a surface.Iron arrow should've been a hunter skill from the beginning. Crossbowmen should've been the ones firing different kinds of heavier projectiles.
>>736568364I just want meaningless cosmetics.
>>736568769Not being able to rebind movement keys is retard mode desu.
>>736569351No you're an idiot. Movement makes perfect sense on the arrow keys.
>>736569351Tell me about it.I usually like to have my movement on numpad 4568 instead because I find it more comfortable to have them higher on the keyboard, but maplestory doesn't even have an option for numpad hotkeys at all.
>>73657024925 year old engine held together by nothing, prease understand
>>736569421Argue for the fact that you can't rebind them. Go ahead.
imagine shilling for a nexon game...
Im not playing the full release unless I get into the beta.
>>736570605Furthermore, imagine being such a mentally ill faggot that you throw a temper tantrum every time someone says something negative about the game, too
HOLY SHIT CHECK YOUR EMAIL
>>736570953A BETA INVITE JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
bwos...
>>736571423>f/p got nerfed alreadyFUCK
>>736571423Warrior changes?
I decided to play a Pserver instead because nexon will inevitably fuck this release up.
warriorbros...
>>736571423>10% hp/mp every 30 secondsFor what purpose?
Will this game have an actual staying power or will it be like other nostalgia bait games and be dead in a month?
>>736571569Axe fighters incoming
For me it was
>>736571423>>736571569>literally zero changes for I/LAre they treating I/L as the obligatory "balance the entire game around this" class?
>>736571423there is no fucking way they did that to F/P
NEW CRAFTING SYSTEM CONFIRMED BROS
>>736571423Hahahaha total thief death.
Mob leakhttps://imgur.com/a/classic-world-mob-stats-OO9WQct
>>736547218>includes the very same kernel-level anticheat that the current maple story useshahahaha no thank you
>>736572348W-we're still going to be fine, im going to still make one im alright haha...
>>736572554new boss?
>>736572637Not sure anymore, I was 100% going to make one for that change alone, but now it's basically the same as the old F/P
>autistic retards obsessing over non-finalized balance changes againalways about the numbers for these autists
>>736573038Even minor changes pretty wildly swing balance, and when it takes dozens or hundreds of hours to get a class to a level where bossing and these stats matter, yeah, people will minmax them. Just sort of the territory.
>>736573038Bwo....
>>736573227Have you just not played an MMO in the last 15 years?
>>736573150It only matters for autists like you.People who aren't mentally ill don't care about this shit much. It's a side scrolling mushroom game, there are more important things in life than what numbers appear on the screen.
>having discussions about new changes = autisticis this like esls calling others esls for no reason?
How long will it take before I can RMT?
>>736573259Again, it only matters to autistic freaks like you. Get a life please. Learn to realize that numbers in a silly mushroom game are not important.
>>736573306No idiot, seething about some skill being rated 40 instead of 45 in a nostalgiabait mushroom snail game is textbook autism, and illustrates you need to get your priorities in order. The changes aren't even finalized and you're still kvetching.
>>736573339then what matter is it to you if autistic freaks enjoy what they enjoy? why are you so autistic about this particular thing?
>>736572554Lol it's name is HORNY Mushroom lmao XD
>>736573429There's nothing wrong with pointing out you embarrassing freaks when you start over saturating the thread.
>>736573503a lot of assumptions and projections when you are the autist that deleted their post over a spelling errorget over your unwarranted self importance
>>736573604It was an autocorrect error.It takes a very stupid retard to think fixing an autocorrect error is equivalent to having autism. That isn't even close to obsessing over number data in snail game.
>>736573790okay autist
So how does this work? Are they gonna send all the e-mails by the end of the day?
>>736574045I just feel that if you haven't gotten it by now it's over.
>>736574045The entries are still openThey're not going to send out emails to people who weren't a part of the offline events until those close
>>736573830By all means keep coping at your leisure, idiot.
>>736573279>the numbers that directly affect the hundreds of hours you will spend killing mushrooms don't matterThere's a difference between obsessing over minute stat upgrades or balance relative to other classes and sweeping skills changes. Not that I care very much either
>>736573790>waiting to delete your post, and repost it over an autocorrect error>so you look better (in your head) while posting on a Taiwanese sounding board in a thread about Maplestory
Why can't we just be happy.
>>736574636You're already provisioning to play for hundreds of hours?Autism.
>>736574772I'm happy, I don't know why you aren't
I can't play this game I have a 60% keyboard
>>736574832Talking about these 2 guys that's been arguing the past couple of days
>>736574829nta but hundreds of hours would be amateur hour, we're already planning thousands of hours.
>>736574864are they in your head with you now?
>>736574902Yeah, can't get them out of my mind
>>736574731So I look better? Is that how your twisted autistic mind interprets a simple post correction? I think you need to get off this website, its clearly unhealthy for you. It's quite bizarre you would think an anonymous poster would concern themselves with "how they look" posting under an anonymous moniker. I only wanted to make sure you were labeled an autist (which I am clearly correct on)
>>736548003Lol I believe that merely because Nexon are so incompetent. I feel bad for their engineers they seem quite capable but the creative/producer/director types are insanely incompetent in every game I've seen from them. Cancerously bad at their jobs and hostile to criticism.
>Hi Classic Maplers!>>Just wanted to give a heads up and provide clarity for e-mails some players have received.>For those who were at MapleCon or participated in our PC Cafe event should have received e-mails for the Closed Online Test.>Please note that the Closed Online Test will not be available on MacOS at this time.>We are still within the review process for other players and will send out those codes at a later date!
>>736575208>later date>emails go out april 15th
it's so over
It's so beginning.
>datamined music is EIMslopincredibly frustrating but it's impossible to get the old composers back so whatever. whenever they're given direction they're fantastic (see limbus company), but the two new tracks we have for forgotten hollow blow ass because they just feel like generic orchestrals. totally misses what made old maplestory magical.
>>736576423I think people are missing that classic is literally a fraction of a fraction of a budget for the west. They don't have the resources to ask for that shit. They literally had to hire old youtubers who did maple music videos to do the trailers and stuff. It is NOT a high budget or grand venture at all, nexon's grand venture was maple worlds which failed pretty spectacularly.And maple N which was that NFT version that was broken by hackers in the first 30 minutes.
>>736576519did you respond to the wrong post?the old composers literally don't exist anymore. i'm aware there's budget constraints, but they still got EIM for the music because they have contracts with nexon. i'm not saying EIM is even bad, i'm just saying when they're given poor direction they churn out really generic stuff. the same amount of money is being paid for the music, it's an issue of direction. this also means that this is an issue that can be fixed in the future without upheaving the music production pipeline. i don't see how any of what you jut replied with has anything to do with anything i just said.
>>736576794I'm saying they probably didn't even get to direct, they probably bought out catalogue music, brother.
>>736576520>Forest of Patience>Lost my Patience many times
>>736576832you should have just said that in the original post because i don't even disagree with you. that's a legitimate possibility, and the fact that we won't actually know if it's library or EIM until we get direct confirmation is really funny. that's just how boring EIM sounds when they aren't given proper direction.
>>736577090Truthfully I thought I was in /msg/ so that's my bad. But yeah I'm a bit concerned with some of the hype I'm seeing overall, this has like, a couple hundred thousand in budget, and a team of like 4 people, including a disgraced director, an old hag systems engineer (scripter) and some others. I hope it's good.
>>736577220i know the budget is small but it's not like we even have hard numbers on how low it is. the small team is concerning but most of the groundwork was already done for them 20 years ago, the real grind was recreating all of those old assets and doing it faithfully. recreating an old product and changing it to accommodate modern audiences is a lot easier than making something from scratch. i'd wait to doomgroid about it until you get your hands on it, you may actually end up really enjoying it!
>>736577410We don't have hard numbers but we know it's coming directly from the NA GMS team's budget, meaning they were told this had to come out of the go west budget, which was touted as "Not as much as any other region's exclusive content team".
Hello Classic Maplers, We would like to clarify that during the Closed Online Test, participants are welcome to stream their gameplay and share screenshots, videos, impressions, and other content from their in-game experience. Although this is a closed test, it is still intended to be a public facing test, and we highly encourage you to share your experiences and help spread the word.That said, content obtained through unauthorized methods, such as datamining, is not permitted to be shared. We ask everyone to keep this distinction in mind and only post content that comes directly from their own gameplay experience during the test.Thank you.
>>736577596>such as dataminingwelp.
>>736578172they don't give a fuck as long as you don't do it in the official server.

>100% bleed on axestill using sword on hero
no gachapon tickets in the closed test
>>736579534test files don't have the frozen tuna either thoughbeit. it's missing a lot of stuff.more interestingly, the map icons for ossyria are present and inkwell said those maps were basically done. we may get them a few months after release. one or two files referncing carnival pq are there too
>>736579687Also Hwabis are in the game, but weren't those added much later?I remember Ilbis being the strongest throwing stars for quite a long time
>>736572554So no Orbis and no Ludi confirmed.Mano included as an area boss, but no Dyle, Stumpy, Faust.Lorang, Tortie and Clang on the list indicates Florina Beach will be available.Not sure what to make of this so far. I do hope for more new areas like Forbidden Hollow though.
>>736568495
>classic maplestory>except they change a bunch of things including abilities Fucking retards.
>>736580537You post this in every thread
>>736580393Her biggest crime is killing billions
ranged vs melee grinding from 1-50? Whats easier, rather less cost inducing? What makes more profit? Not counting anything maged. Strictly Physical dps. I'm sure in global classic this will change slightly in cost.
HOLY SHITTTT I GOT THE EMAIL INVITE CODE!!!!!!!!!
>>736580117the closed beta for GMS also didn't have Ossyria and it lasted much longer, I doubt anyone is getting even close to 70 anyway in only 7 days
>>736555898I dont take opinions from people who continued playing the game into monster carnival.
>>736580537Take your meds
>>736580707Orbits is not a level 70 area
I'll play on my own time when it's either an open beta or just open for real, if I play too much now I'd get sick of it by the time there's more stuff to do. I just want to play a single character this time instead of falling into the altitis like I did when I was younger.
>>736554204I pray it does. I need this game to help me get through college. Play maple, study, play maple, study. It is a good flow.
>>73658095970 is when you level out of the cargos and tauros in the dungeon
full datamine leak for xtreme lvl 9999999 autists
>>736580971it's only to get to level 10 or 15 for an exclusive chat and label ringfor all we know it could stop at lvl 15
>>736576520Where is this from? This looks so well made!
>>736581060And why would that have anything to do with not having Orbis? Orbis has level 25 mobs.
MapleSooToryMAYYYYY PEERRRRRR
seovl
>>736569305nigga u think a bow can fire a giant piece of fucking iron too?
>>736581791If my dick can, a bow can.
>>736581791Yes retard, metal arrows actually exist in real life and were launched by heavy longbows. Makes far more sense than an arrow with a bomb attached to the tip.
Give me my code Stinkwell
>>736581107https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzQfFbBWoYUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jklNwafaCFc

>>736582269>he didn't get a code yetohnonono
who's gonna be the best mobber?
>>736582483your mom
>>736582441Idiot.https://www.bow-international.com/features/arrows-in-the-middle-ages/
are they changing the exp rates at all
>>736582819no but they're changing how much exp each monster gives
>>736571423>>736571569>Basically every single class nerfed across the board compared to the first testKinda bizarre, honestly. Outside of trying to get people to use final attack, it's all nerfs.
>Nexon in charge of balancing
>>736571569My fuarking HERO has to use an axe now...
I'm only angry about the F/P nerf because the concept of shooting 3 fire arrows and hitting either 1 monster 3 times or 3 monsters 1 time seemed really cool, now it's back to the way it used to be which is fine but not very exciting
>>736583270nta but I think they might be thinking the damage numbers were too high? Could also be that they are still adjusting numbers regarding the new damage formula and monster def/hp/exp ratios and so on.>>736583421Would be interesting to see some axes and blunt weapons going around honestly. Supposedly from what I've gathered reading around the stab/swing ratio should be averaging out so axes/blunt weapons aren't worse than swords just because lol. Have to see with the test and hopefully someone who tries these things out will info if this is the case.
>>736583723AznAxeNga789 on the way
>>736583719Everyone who played f/p during the test said poison sucked and there was no point to using it instead of fire arrow.It seems nexon's response to this was to just make fire arrow worse instead of just making poison brace better.
>>736582417Thank you for sharing. These were amazing to watch.
>>736584240so they want Fire Arrow to be the single target skill and Poison Breath to be the mobbing skill?
>>736583719F/P were doing triple the dps of the other two mages so it's a good change. If they let people all roll FOTM F/p thinking it stays that way for release where they do 3x the damage of others and suddenly get nerfed it would cause a lot of butthurt. Mages seem like a dead class branch after these nerfs though.
Thoughts on Florina Beach being available on launch?
>>736585486Keep in mind this is pre 3rd job changes being revealed. I/L is still fine and Bishopstory is still largely going to be a thing
>>736585979I have never been to Florina Beach, in fact I only learned how to get there at all this year when playing Artale

>>736589793>and completely new archer class?Pathfinder?
blackgoku has 5 access codes and he gave me one
>>736589840I'm not sure what pathfinder even is, maybe? I'm honestly a bit suprised if this ends up being real as this is pretty massive for future content and how the game plays out. Definitely going for more of a classic gameplay loop, but introducing much more modern things aswell. Can work as long as they are tuned to fit the slower paced gameplay loop of classic."An adventurer captivated by the allure of ancient artifacts, who fell under a powerful curse while exploring ruins deep in the forest and began to channel the curse\u0027s tainted energy. Uses the Ancient Bow by linking three archery skills to charge up the power of a relic, then expending the relic\u0027s built-up energy to loose powerful bolts of black, hex-touched energy.""Relic Charge fills up the Relic Gauge every time you attack the enemy with Cardinal Force skills. Consume the Relic Gauge to use powerful Ancient Force skills, such as Glyph of Impalement and Enchant Force skills, whose effects are determined by the currently-displayed emblem (such as Combo Assault). Also, Bountiful skills and Relic Charge II give you a powerful effect every time the emblem is changed with Cardinal Force skills. Curseweaver inflicts the Ancient Curse debuff on the enemy, dealing as much damage as the stacked curse."This pastebin has the information of the class descriptions: https://pastebin.com/j8A7Qwb5This guy also uploaded the rest of the datamined pastebins on his profile.
>>736589793Also correcting myself about 2x exp coupons.>"2x EXP Coupon (30 min)">"3x EXP Coupon (15 min)"Didn't notice the duration so these are more likely just event ones.
>>736589946>I'm not sure what pathfinder even is, maybe?It's an explorer archer class that appeared similarly to the "extended explorers" (e.g. Cannoneer, Jett, and Dual Blade)>Relic ChargeYeah that's Pathfinder. https://youtu.be/eXcy-rJ3D6E?t=24
>>736589793>2x exp coupon seems to be inI mean, you would need to be really naive to think the game wouldn't have any P2W at all
>>736590164NTA but I don't think it'll be p2w.Modern Maplestory tosses so many god damn XP coupons at you that most people can't use them in time.They're even removing 2x coupons from Modern Maplestory and replacing it with 3x coupons only. Plus you get them as drops and from monster park, along with legion.
>>736590134Modern MapleStory skills are so fucking flashy I can't even tell what's going on in that video, I have no idea how this class is any different from a Hunter, if you just told me it was another Hunter rework I would believe you
>>736590134I quit way before this was a thing so didn't regonize it. I'm suprised if they are putting something as flashy as this in the game. Granted having a touch of modern maple in the gameplay feel of classic is something I wouldn't be suprised if they did go through with to some extent to try and reach modern audience and newer players.Datamines and such are always something to take with a grain of salt, but still interesting to scim through regardless.>>736590164>>736590084I corrected myself as I missed the duration when checking these out. Honestly considering cosmetic lootboxes that are for male and female separately is already massive money maker. Myself and ton of others are suckers for playing dress up in maple so cosmetics is something I expected them to go hard with in terms of monetization and I'd be happy if that keeps the reigns on p2w. Also REG/VIP cosmetic coupons are also back which is another gamba money maker, especially people who like to change styles so often you end up needing more than couple of coupons. Didn't see info about gachapon tickets which is another great thing to see and hopefully doesn't make a return.
>>736580117>no Ludi confirmedWhat level do you need to be to do Ludi PQ again? Cause I'm going to just stop grinding once I reach that level until they add that shit in
>>736590363It's way flashier than it has any right to be. It's basically a weaker Hunter in a sense that you use Double-Shot and garner passives to spawn additional arrow spawns until you get your hurricane skill and transfer those passives over to it. Not very popular.>>736590414I'm fine with modern Maplestory classes being added into Classic if they "demake" them. Though I suspect they're not going to be added despite being in the files, but are being used for stat references.
>>73659057035
>>736586876Did you do the in person play test a few months back or did they already send the invites out to everyone?Please be the former ;_;
>>736590640>April 142 days earlier, so yeah it's for people who went to the events
>>736585979Its not really enough content to be worth its own update at all, so its probably easier to just have it release with the base version of the game than to sneak it in alongside orbis+el nath or something half a year down the line.
>>736547218How many fucking tests do they need for a 22 year old game? I've read they only have like a couple fucking people working on this server and now I believe that to be true.
>>736590589I'm also fine with some modern stuff as long as it's toned down and demake/remade to suit the slower and more simple playstyle of old maple. A lot of these things could be mistakes in the files or just references as you said. It could also be that they are indeed planning these and what they would do is the demake option you mentioned. Could be a lot of things or a nothing burger.>>736590640Only people who went to the maplecon or cafe have received/receiving their codes. Rest of us have to wait as they review and Inkwell personally trashes my application.
>>736590775>How many fucking tests do they need for a 22 year old game?It's not copy and pasting the code it's rewriting it from scratch to work with the modern client
>>736587598It's 11 % on steam now.
>Can't go back to Saturday morning>Partying with randoms at Lionheart gate entrance with 2x event + exp coupon with a priest running holy symbol trying to hit 120
Looking more into the pastebins it seems some information might just be left overs from modern as there are mentions of areas much later into the game's cycle, mentions of 7th anniversary weapons and such, the class descriptions kind of match what modern maplestory site has as description on the classes/skill names. Leaning towards just info in the files from modern client or something along those lines.>"_value": "Why so serious?">>736590950We're going back to the tunnels to beat off horny mushrooms
>>736591219It's been so long, I don't even know the leveling path from 1-70
>>736591219>>"_value": "Why so serious?"Yeah it's most likely just leftover.That is specifically the achievement you get in-game for killing Pierre 100 times.
>>736590570>Cause I'm going to just stop grinding once I reach that level until they add that shit inBased as fuck. I'm right there with you fellow PQchad.
Damage multipliers for Warriors are still there, seems like Spearmen still need to build hybrid
>>736591323The upcoming test will reveal a lot more how the early game will be played. Obviously it can still change a ton, but it will give a rough picture about a lot of things. Potion economy, damage, flat money making, party play, quests and their rewards, new areas, spawn rates and so on.I think it's better to go in with an open mind when it actually releases and explore and just go about your day grinding in different places and trying out questing etc. I myself am excited to just enjoy the slow grind and play at my own pace. Meta will be figured out somewhat fast I'd believe, especially since this game isn't exactly the most in-depth when it comes to... skill and well scrolling is rather simple and with formulas being known early on.>>736591450Ahh makes sense. It's not suprising that datamining has a ton of stuff leftover or just things that never actually mean anything for the actual release. Some of these things I do believe will be in the game as they've already been shown in the test footage.>>736591650This is something I hope someone with access to the closed test will, well test out. I want to know if the swing/stab ratio has been changed and honestly hope it is as the old ratio made axes/blunt weapons just hinder your damage due to how it averaged out.
>>736591323Ant Tunnel shall be your new home
What update is the "Classic" world suppose to be?Pre pirates?Pre Big Bang?Pre Mechanic?Pre Ludibrium and Aqua Road?
>>736592628starts at victoria isle and eventually expandsprobably stops at temple of time as far as original/vanilla content goes
>>736592742Temple of Time was pretty late (Relatively), that was just before Big Bang right?
>>736592842No, there were a ton of updates between temple of time and big bang
>>736592628Inkwell said during maplecon that classic is more of a middle ground between old and modern. They aren't necessarily going to take the same path of updates as the original game did back then.So far it will likely release with Victoria Island and 1st+2nd job only. However it will already have new content such as the Forgotten Hollows area with new enemies, maps, quests and maybe even a boss? They also wanted to expand on quests that ended without much to them such as Manji's and the video featuring him and Balrog could also potentially hint towards Balrog being the first "raid" boss that will come.All in all you shouldn't expect this to be classic as in 1:1 version of the game how it used to be and more of an official private server feel to it with balance changes, QoL and even completely new stuff added.They're kinda stuck having to call it classic, but it can give the misleading image that it's going to be the same as it was back then. When in my opinion they are going the route of having the slower core loop of old maplestory and expanding from there to keep it fresh and interesting. Similar to what OSRS ended up doing to some extent.
>>736592842You underestimate just how many updates Nexon used to push out on a regular basis.
I'm kinda hoping that Classic's expansion on Balrog leads to Balrog being a high-level threat in Modern Maplestory (somewhere between 220-235)
>>736592995Balrog already is has been a thing for a long time (I think late pre-bb)?and 220-235 doesn't even qualify as early game anymorethe coolest thing they could do is make Sharenian an actual region instead of just a guild content and make Ergoth a new endgame boss, this guy was considered pretty powerful even in the new modern lore
>>736593146I know he's already a thing, but he's so irrelevant that people stopped using him as a test dummy. What I mean is he gets a buff that places him back into relevance with the level range being where most people need help with equips the most.>SharenianThat'd be cool too. Ergoth's model being used for the soul thing always made me miss guild PQ.
>>736593146i hope they ignore all regions and lore and just expand victoria and orbis so that you can explore it
>>736592976Oh, so it's more like what OSRS became, "Pick a date from an older iteration and then make updates under that philosophy/mindset"That's neat, I'll probably give it a go.
>>736593349It's why Nemi being there is such a big deal. She's from the original Wizet team that created Maplestory and was the one doing early quests.
>>736593398Oh fug, now I really want it.I hope they don't do anything jank like MS2 where the progression was so fast it skipped 98% of the content.
Ok, for the MOST important for Classic:what Classic-exclusive class are we getting? obviously no lame answers like a demade modern class.
>>736593536What archetypes do you even want to see?Summoner?Merchant?Official perma-beginner?
>>736593619IIRC the new defense formula makes defense worth going for
>>736592628this is the closest approximation we got so far
>>736593614Bard still hasn't been done so that could workSummoner definitely could be interesting, bonus points if you capture monsters and actually use them (wild hunter had these but it was just for fun)a class that uses traps could be interesting, for bosses you could become a more of a support and apply debuffs
>>736593349I think having OSRS and WoW Classic being out helps a lot in terms of how nostalgia games can be brought back. I do believe they are taking some notes from OSRS as when that game started to add changes through polls and such it also started to grow in playerbase and even completely new players who never played it back in the days picked it up.This part Inkwell(main lead) explains classic world a little bit during maplecon: https://www.youtube.com/live/fF0X6JkhI5M?si=McEfyIXTi-J0Awqv&t=14008If it doesn't start at the right time, you can skip to 3:53:30 if you are interested.I think without keeping up with news and so on not everyone knows that classic is going to be a different experience. While it is hard to say how the future is and 3rd job and 4th job can shape up things massively, how p2w it would be and there are a ton of worries that I could doomer about, but for now I'd rather just go with a more optimistic view as I really love the slowish feel of old maplestory.
>>736593724Mechanically, Battle Mage would be a bard. His auras are basically the same thing, buffing and debuffing allies and enemies while they're occurring.
I wonder if there's been an english player thats stuck with maple until now. I don't believe there is everyone eventually got burned out from all the bullshit
>>736547218beta shmeta put the shit out already ffs its a 20 year old game
>>736547667https://youtube.com/watch?v=jfZOvQnsBq0
>>736571423>Fire Arrow hits 3 > 1Based, glad they're not abandoning class identity
Will SoS ruin Classic?>tradeable>lvl 8 quest gives 5k exp worth of scrolls
>>736595497What identity? Being the weakest wizard until 3rd job where they fart everywhere for 48 levels?
It's not fair bros. I wish I had a cute maple dev gf.
Are you guys playing as a male or female character? I played male 20 years ago and will do so again.
>>736595572Someone has to be weakest. >identityHow about highest single target dmg in 2nd job? I would much rather they buff single target fire arrow dmg rather than make it mob
>>736593536Idk but I think it'd be cool if they made alternative routes for classes that can do non-traditional stat builds. Fr example Bandit getting their own unique exchange skill at lv40 and another one at 60 or something, maybe it'd replace savage blow or with something more visually fitting for how a str bandit would fight compared to a luk bandit, then once they hit 3rd job with those skills they can choose to advance into whatever a theoretical 3rd job str chief dit would be called.
>>736595503Honestly if it is indeed tradeable to other players and not just on your own account such as storage. It depends how fast the quest is and how bottable it is etc. This definitely from a quick glance could be an issue where someone with infinite money would just buy hundreds of thousands of Solomon's doujins.Is this how it is going to work and so on is left to see, but there is always risk when it comes certain types of items in games like these.>>736595669Female as I love the cosmetics and styles they have. It's also a good thumb rule in any game to just assume everyone is a dude untill proven wrong.
>>736595673>How about highest single target dmg in 2nd job?Completely worthless outside of bossing, which doesn't matter until 3rd job. The few bosses accessible in 2nd job either have stupidly high Magic Defense meaning you do less than everyone else, or die in 2 seconds regardless of class. Also, Cold Beam outdamages Fire Arrow, so you don't even have that.I'm all for class identity, but making a class worthless to adhere to it is not the play. DoT could've been the way to go with Burning and Poison stacking, giving them a niche while also potential for high single target DPS.>Someone has to be the weakest.That should be CLERIC. The SUPPORT class. Not a class with a kit clearly geared for damage.
>>736595705It would be really interesting if str mage is somehow made viable, though I'm not sure what would be a good way to achieve that.Perhaps an off-shoot from cleric?
>>736595841>Cold Beam outdamages Fire Arrow,Fire Arrow got nerfed, but it's still better than Cold BeamFire went from 50 *3 to 130.Cold Beam went from 125 to 120The gap is a lot smaller than it was before though, which just feels like insult to injury.
>>736595861>str mageWe already have that. It's called Paladin.
>>736596007
>>736595669I'm really tempted to play a female character this time around because their cosmetics and hairstyles are just so much better. I'll probably do 50/50 depending on the class.
>>736595669In the 0.00001% chance that I find a cute maple gf, I will be playing male.
>>736595841>DoT could've been the way to go with Burning and Poison stacking, giving them a niche while also potential for high single target DPS.That would require making bosses susceptible to status effects, and because this is an Eastern RPG that is simply not happening.
>Maplestory has been "Post Big Bang" for 16 years, and was only "Pre Big Bang" for 6 years>Runescape has been RS3 for 14 years and was only RS2 for 8 years >>736593614I always like Merchant classes in MMOs, but also I'd like a "Perma Beginner" like Idleon that helps your other characters but is tougher to level on it's own. Kinda like the Cygnus knights.
>>736593689>Hired MerchantsI remember when that was new.
>>736555898>It will take 500 hours just to get to level 30 while only being able to use 1 skill for the entire game until 4th job.Don't threaten me with a good time. I actually don't even want 4th job and I was so disappointed when I discovered they're adding it. I just want to be a crusader forever, charging up my orbs and using coma and panic, not boring ass brandish.
>>736596415>helps your other characters but is tougher to level on it's own.Please god no keep that garbage in modern and away from Classic. Blessing of the Fairy was already a disastrous mistake.
>>736557473I hope this game doesn't give me yellow fever again, took me years to recover. I got so many online azn gfs in this game.
>>736596521Isn't the problem with Cygnus that they leveled super fast on their own AND boosted your others?Unless they added MORE stuff like it, then I'm completely in the dark.
Will you be making the switch to Pirate when/if they get added?Corsairs were always my favorite.
maplestory classic better change my fucking life for the better
>>736596608Blessing of the Fairy was added first, giving all your characters extra stats based on the highest level character in your account. Empress' Blessing came after, which did the same thing but was based on your highest level Cygnus Knight. This buff was better because Cygnus Knights leveled faster and had a lower level cap.This eventually spiraled out of control to the point where every class has their own variant and the meta is to have as many unique characters on your account at level 200 to maximize the gains for whichever class you actually wanted to play. The problem now is it was harder for people to play together or keep communication because everyone would just keep switching between the dozens of characters on their account to do dailies and level up for those passive boosts. It's complete asscrack.
>>736596617Definitely, I always enjoyed pirates. Will they have more than 3 character slots or will they paywall it again?
>>736596720That sounds awful and miserable. Yeah, nah, I don't want anything that spirals into being like that, then.
>>736596287It was extremely easy back in the day. I had like 10 of them in the span of a couple years. That will be impossible now because it's not teenagers anymore the online dating climate has changed dramatically.
>>73659678490% of the female characters will be played by trannies now.
>>736596617I always found buccaneer to be cool, but never ended up playing one. I doubt it as I'd rather focus on one character only and try to reach 200, but it depends if later down the line I feel like it.>>736596748Datamines also had buyable inventory slot increases (5 per usage) so character slots could be something that is added to the cash shop at some point perhaps. Nothing out of the datamines is set in stone that hasn't been visually shown to exist already and even then could always change, but I see the inventory upgrades being a pretty possible thing atleast. Easy money in terms of selling quality of life.
>>736596720Maybe they should just make an exp modifier instead of stat shit
>>736560049Sounds fun, warriors never really had a defensive option beyond the bumping enemies to avoid magic damage, or the tricky iframes on rush.
>>736566314It has controller support
>>736566316I don't know about that since mages have extremely low health. But Magic guard damage reduction was way too much, they were tankier than warriors.
>>736596720https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/chgqlj/made_a_table_for_who_benefits_from_each_linklegion/This is fucking disgusting.
>>736559863I want a reason to visit the smaller towns. If I could chill in el nath everyday I'd be in heaven. More player created content so the world feels more alive and organic. Balancewise I think they're going in the right direction but I'd also like to see perma beginner finally get some skills even if it's a meme and maybe some new non combat classes. More low level content and a heavier focus on PQs.
>>736597146At the very least, every time Inkwell and Nemi talked about Classic World they always emphasized the social aspect, and most of the teaser footage shown off focused on the social aspects and PQs. I think they have an idea of what Classic players want, but only time will tell.
>>736597284If they can make classic have the best qualities of old MS and MS2 its popularity will explode. Maple has so much going for it but it's always been hilariously mismanaged and held back by the k*rean paypiggies who want it to be a P2W solo theme park.
>>73657160130 seconds is way too long but I guess because they already drain, which is apparently strong enough to be your main attack now.
>>736586826Why wouldn't Orbis be there, sperg?
>>736571569>final attack is different between classes now>now a lifesteal skill for spearman, and a mobbing skill for fighterweird ass changes. just fucking make it like back in the day but don't make it lock you in an animation.
>>736583421we don't know if it's 100% of the damage you dealt, or 100% as in just regular attack damage. Probably the latter because 100% of damage dealt sounds too strong. Either way it's still more damage than just accuracy.
what minigames should they add?hard mode: no mahjong
>WoW did Classic+ >Get ready for Maplestory Classic! If it revitalizes the MMO industry then I won't complain about it, even if they are trying to capture nostalgia. I'd love to see the MMO industry come back to life like it was in the early-mid 2000's. I genuinely love MMO's, and even some of the shitty F2P ones were fun for at least a good 2-4 weeks.
>>736598685It seems like "going back" to classic might help the MMO industry, OSRS and Maplestory weren't trying to be "WoW killers" that flooded the market and ultimately killed the market, and the philosophies that made MMOs change to reflect other MMOs, trying to take their share of the pie, started to make them a mess that was too samey.So, it might just be the kick the MMOs need to "Do their own thing".
>>736595861>>736596007>>736596031>>736596159I had an idea of STR i/l and f/p mages eventually replacing their 2nd job ranged skills with melee styled versions, losing tp and magic guard in exchange for maybe a movespeed passive and an hp/shield passive to make up for the loss in mobility and tankiness, but then it basically ends up being two different styles of 1h bw wk, which made me think of how weird it is that wk even uses ice, fire and lightning to begin with instead of being an aggressively holy themed class that's basically the warrior version of cleric or something. but changing all of this stuff just to do alt build skills and jobs would be too much
>>736597050I agree, so why not restrict it? Why shouldn't magic guard be restricted to magic damage?A map like the forest of golem should work for warriors; swarms of hard-hitting stone golems should require a strong defensive attributes to survive, let alone grind. Archers struggle there, but mages get to train there because magic guard makes them bulky.
>>736598685whats wrong with going back to the game in a simpler state and improving it from there

Should NLC be in Classic?
>>736603648most people will say no because it broke the economy but I say yes because I love the haunted mansion,
>>736603648considering it was an NA exclusive in the first place, I say yes so they have a chance to conclude it. Yea the original people are no longer there but it was a damn good place that had a lot of good memories. Bigfoot, the maze getting to typhons/windraiders, the two jump quests that one shot you, cwkpq, the haunted mansion, it was perfect. The other areas could use some touch up.Better to give it a second try than what it has become in modern maple.
>>736604107if you think the monsters should keep the inflated exp rate you're retarded
>>736604173you must be cross eyed because I didn't say anything about that retard-bro
>>736603642I'm liking the looks and the first music track is also pretty comfy. Also having teleports and hidden street is cool, even if some maps looked a bit flat. The NPC fairies are also extra cute.>>736603648Biggest worry with NLC was the % pots which can kind of break things fast. I think if they tone down some parts of it to not be so absurd it could work and I wouldn't really mind if it was there or not.
>no orbis on launchDoes that mean no guilds either?

>>736547218you all constantly say nexon global is complete shit and the worst publisher on the planet but you still leap at this chance. are you all retarded?
>>736608309Take your meds, schizo.

>>736608518Anon, you have schizophrenia. It is not healthy to be constant seething over what others choose to play. Please get some help, you need it :(
>Forgotten Hollow mobs ranging from levels 39 to 59Interesting, so Forgotten Hollow is a fairly high level area for Victoria Island
>>736608708>accusing people of being a thread schizo just because multiple people have pointed out your "classic" re-release isn't classic at all and just a money grabAutism.
>>736609221I think it's nice to have a completely new area as with Victoria Island only on launch. I'd expect a lot of maps and channels to be rather full, depending how many channels we are actually even getting.
>>736609415>multiple people have pointed out your "classic" re-release isn't classic at allNTA but it's been like five months since Nexon explicitly stated this
>>736609652And yet retards here keep trying to pretend its classic and misinforming people. Play private servers or fuck off. No one wants to play whatever cash grab autism this is going to be.
>>736609996I don't think anybody's doing that actually
>>736592976nice, the could call it "Classic+" or some shit like WoW>>736593614>Official perma-beginner?Ragnarok Online has the Super Novice which can take skills from all the other 1st jobs/classes, something like that would be neat
>>736607129>didn't receive a codeOWARI fucking DA
are they using the old victoria mapthis is important
>>736611115yes
>>736609415Doing it repeatedly like you do is definitely severe autism.
>>736609996>No one wants to play whatever cash grab autism this is going to be.-says the increasingly nervous autist
>>736547218I just signed up with no intention to play, just so I can take a slot from someone who actually does.
>>736611141which one?
>>736611349
>>736611271That was my code bwo
>>736443440AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHATHEY FUCKING LISTENED TO MEBASED NEXON
>Leatherworking>Smithing>Arc Forge>Weapon Crafting>WoodcraftingWhat are you expecting from these new professions? The Arc Forge seems to be the Classic version for acquiring "decent skills".For those who don't know, Modern Maplestory has things called "decent skills" which appear on equipment as a line for legendary potential, along with them being 5th job common skills any class can acquire and use. They include things like >Decent Holy Symbol>Decent Sharp Eyes>Decent Hyper Body>Decent Hasteetc.where the most common buffs used in a party are given for use for everybody. Comparable to a half-leveled skill of that name (i.e. Decent Holy Symbol will give 25% bonus XP while normal Holy Symbol will give 50%)
>>736611774As someone planning on going for Warrior and as someone who's mained Warriors in general since the beta with a modern maplestory Paladin set at level 288, I'm fine with it.Movement speed for Warriors is so damn slow that it was almost impossible to hit 5 monsters at once with Slash Blast, much less 6. The change is inconsequential at best, with the real travesty being Precise Strikes going from +50 accuracy down to +20 accuracy.I assume the changes to Slash Blast are to compensate for the Final Attack changes, which aren't actives anymore.
>>736611972| Discipline | What It Makes ||-----------|--------------|| Smithing | Armor, shields || Weaponcrafting | All weapon types || Tailoring | Cloth gear, capes || Woodcrafting | Bows, crossbows, staves || Leatherworking | Gloves, shoes, accessories || **Arcforging** (NEW) | **Scrolls**, magical items, enchantments |Equipment crafting includes Crafting Stimulators that add random bonus statsAccording to the datamine threads. I very highly doubt decent skills are added to classic.>>736612346nta but there is a lot of doomposting with any sort of change seemingly. We have no clue how these up coming changes for the test even play out in real scenarios and people seemingly say we're back or it's over constantly. While I don't care if warriors kept 6 mobs on slash blast, it likely won't matter too much for reasons you've mentioned. Outside of gathering up a bunch of enemies on a long platform you're most likely just going to be slash blasting couple at a time while moving towards the next monsters.The accuracy is a bit of a mystery to me as every class from test footage has been missing and it's not really the most fun experience to miss especially if you play something like archer where you'd expect to be able to hit enemies easily.
>>736612970I'm wondering how impactful these new jobs will be.I know they were a thing in old Maplestory but they weren't really fleshed out. These seem to be similar to the Modern Maplestory professions with XP gains for crafting things.
