They literally just need to finish up the rest of the instructors. Mihile is severely underrated.
>>
>>736650497
Yes but only if they don't touch Mihile's core playstyle.
I don't need to cover other people but I like actively parrying attacks.
>>
>>736650727
As much as I love Mihile, having "named" characters is fucking stupid.
Mihile (and other potential job instructor classes) should've been a branching job from base Cygnus Knights.
>>
>>736650497
no. at that point just find a new, better aesthetic.
cygnus and the entire black mage plotline should be dropped. just have a maple world without black mage, that's infinitely more interesting.
>>
>>736650943
what could be a better aesthetic than cyggies?
they've got a kino region and the elemental classes are also kino, only if they expanded on it

>and the entire black mage plotline should be dropped
That's VERY heavily implied already.
The NPCs in the GMS-exclusive Ride or Die event are basically superhumans that overpower transcendents (Pink Bean / Black Mage / Time Goddess lady / etc.) and are basically the police force that watches over the multiverse. These people explicitly state that there are tons of different worlds: some where the player wins; where the player loses, and where the player doesn't even exist due to the black mage not being a thing.
Those NPCs are seen in trailers for maplestory classic. However, their whole purpose is to hunt down another GMS-exclusive superboss named Kazax who's trying to do some dumb shit probably I don't know the rest of the lore with him because the event sucked and I started skipping things. Kazas comes to the Maple world (You) are in and starts creating (not controlling but creating) bosses to "test" you to see if he could win or something I don't know.
Anyway I expect Kazas to be the new "big bad" with mega end-game being a raid boss-style fight where you just drive him out of your world.

I’m sure maple story is fun if you’re one of those slant eyed samurai ninja geishas. I play white person games like forging steel bars and transmuting them into automobiles in my two car garage.

>>736651386
yeah, i saw in the comments of that manji video that there was a RoD NPC in it. thanks for the additional context. i'm cautiously optimistic about it now.
whatever happens, i sincerely hope they don't go down the "player character is a god" road they went down with numaple. i don't really want a plotline at all, if i'm being honest.

I think I played this for 30 minutes with my garbage Aussie internet back in the day.

Any worth without nostalgia glasses? Just a mindless MMO to grind while watching animu right?
>>
>>736653735
Spot on, it is a slow-paced and simple mmo to grind while listening to music, watching stuff on the side or chatting while grinding. Without nostalgia there isn't anything special here outside of being a 2d side scroller styled older mmo.
While they are changing things and adding completely new stuff aswell it's something you wouldn't necessarily even know about as a player who didn't play much or at all. It's up to the closed test and the full release whenever that is to see how it all shapes up.
>>
>>736649646
Depends on what the changes are. But if either are in a decently playable condition and not complete ass it would probably be f/p or bandit

Would maple benefit from a trinity system? Tank classes can taunt bosses and shit

I always likened Maplestory to a digital fidget spinner.
Something that keeps your hands occupied while your mind is elsewhere.
If that sounds like something you enjoy, you'll enjoy Maplestory. Otherwise it's most likely not worth playing.

>>736656153
They all play rather similar in 1st and 2nd job. With no information on 3rd or 4th job it's hard to say how much that part of the game could change.
My guess would be that Hero is a safe choice while Paladin might get good in 3rd or 4th job if Nexon decides to finally make them good. Or they are just left untouched and remain whatever.
Dark Knights plays a bit differently in 3rd and 4th job, however if they keep berserk where you have to balance around being at half hp or so it might be something you don't enjoy if you picked warrior to be tanky.

While things can still change, axe Fighter with bleed could be interesting unless bleed remains mediocre. This is more or less something I'd pick if I wanted to play warrior and somewhat of a safe pick future-wise.
Page is something I'd play if I wanted to be tanky, but mainly just hoping they buff them in 3rd job and 4th job making their elemental stuff better and interesting and potentially providing something new for the party in terms of support. Other than that it's just very similar to Fighter in 2nd job, you just have Threaten while Fighter has Rage.
Spearman with the new datamines showing final attack giving HP leech might indicate they aren't thinking about bringing berserk back which means it could be a comfortable high HP job. It's also a job I'd say feels a bit more unique in 3rd job due to the skills they get.

All of them are solid picks honestly and I think if you enjoy being tanky and knowing you'll be able to take hits and not just collapse from couple it's a pretty good starting point. It's just currently really hard to say as the closed test stuff got datamined and bunch of things got tweaked around yet again and we have no actual footage or gameplay in terms of how it actually plays out. During/after closed test I'd say it's a bit easier to answer some questions, but even then future changes and updates might change everything regarding what we used to know.

I was considering playing it, but then I found out 99% of this game is pure toxicity and I lost interest. I don't think it's fun spending 1000 hours trying to prevent other parties from killstealing your mobs and constantly swapping channels in hopes of finding one that isn't populated. This type of game design needs to stay in the past where it belongs.

Maybe it's because I wasn't around anymore when Cygnus Knights were released but I never really understood them as a class
To me it just seems like a better version of an explorer class, like why would I make an Assassin when I can make a Night Walker that gets Flash Jump at 2nd job and a multi target skill that ignores minimum range also at 2nd job? Sure I can't get over level 120 but it's not like the average player ever got past level 120 anyway back in the day

For anyone dooming about nerfs, remember that this will be the first time the game will be available to a huge amount of people and for a long time, the MapleCon test was like 10 minutes long and the MapleCafe event was 2 hours long, this will be a whole week of testing with around 5000 people playing it so most of the changes will happen after this closed test
>>
>autistic retards actually crying about numbers in an unreleased game
lol

nerfs are a good thing because they make the game harder and filter out minmaxing autists
>>
>>736670376
Nobody should be "dooming" in the first place because we already know that core formulas like the accuracy / defense / stat damage etc. stuff are being altered too.
We've even seen earrings have attack and critical damage on them.
We don't know how things are until we actually play it ourselves which is why they made the statement about not datamining the game.
>>
>>736657045
Isn't this the same as standing in one spot killing Zakum for optimal DPS? Literally nothing changed in 20 years
>>
pay2win ruined nu-maple
will it ruin classic?
>>
>>736670931
No. The thing he's attacking is literally a testing dummy meant to replicate boss stats (you can change the stats of the statue).
What he's trying to show off is one of the newest 6th job skills, which had a showcase last night. Basically, the lore in Maplestory is that you're a "Fated Person" or whatever and that causes you to develop into a literal god-killing machine. The 6th job and above maps in the game revolve around a resource called "sol erda" which is essentially pure life force stem cell energy and can be used to do literally anything you want, with those being too weak to handle it just disintegrating.
At the point in the game where you get this newest skill (gif related) you would have decimated the Black Mage and tons of other boss monsters even stronger than the Black Mage, canonically leading you towards becoming a god-like being.
The skill is both a lore skill and an overpowered skill that showcases a lot of what's wrong with modern maplestory
>You get a literal angel as a summon with the description being how the player "collects erda and forms a familiar"
>This angel has 30 levels
>Level 1 - 10 it does strong DPS and can be pressed while out to activate an AoE stun wherever it's at (this bypasses the normal stun resistance and the origin stun resistance)
>Level 11 - 20 it evolves and now can save you from death every 10 minutes too
>Level 21 - 30 it evolves a final time and can now be "pressed" while out using a different activation skill key to activate a massive nuke of damage every two minutes
The one in the gif is how it's supposed to look in its third form, but one of the things Nexon also decided to add in addition to this skill is "cosmetics" to adorn your angel summon. That little fairy thing you see floating around the statue and popping up on the side is one of the fifty or so new cosmetics being released alongside this skill.
>>
Actually crazy how madwolf is still posting in these threads.
>>
>>736656153
Well, nexon just gave all itd attention to DK and told the other 2 warriors that it's fine to be a 1st job warrior until 130, so probably the class that the devs liked.
>>
>>736671314
Depends on what you mean. Modern Maple is fine but the effects of earlier monetization linger everywhere.
I don't believe Classic will have old monetization but I do believe it'll carry over the effects it had (i.e. it will be "pay for convenience" but not "pay to win")

Reboot turned out to be overwhelmingly successful for the global branch, and remains the most popular global server by far. Classic is the other thing global players have been wanting for a long time.

Serious question, how different is Classic to OG?

I hear exp rates might be a bit faster but overall when I'm playing what's going to be different? I mean I get its classic so the whole idea isn't to be different, but if that's the case then idk if I'd play mainly because everything to experience I already experienced.
>>
>>736678269
Nobody can answer that question accurately.

The developers have said they are implementing changes and aren't aiming to replicate a pure vanilla experience. At this stage we know a lot of the stat formulas are very different and there will be a new area sitting between Ellinia and the Sleepywood Dungeon.
>>
>>736672370
The only thing that's significant is the resort.
That's the only thing you don't get access to freely, and even achieving that level requires insane amounts of money each month just to maintain it.
And even then it only has value if you don't have an established legion already and you aren't planning on doing challenge world which gives you 20 Legion characters at level 200 to keep on your main world.

Did they say anything specifically about not having the black mage? I thought the black mage stuff goes way back to the wizet story (although they didn't think too deeply about it).

Also isn't it confirmed with the dray86 promo that dimension travelers exist in this world? Technically it's still part of the maplestory multiverse.

>>736689118
>Kaling was a fox Anima who was chosen by the will of the world to aid the elders of Grandis. Imbued with the divine blessings of the Overseers, Kaling ascended to sagehood and received a nearly infinite lifespan. Kaling became a researcher in Odium and aided the elders of Grandis with their experiments to fuse Vessels with Godspheres in order to turn them into Adversaries, who would then fight against the Ancient Gods. Kaling's talents were recognized by the elders, with Zigang - the leader of the elders - taking her on as his protégé. By the end of the war, the elders began seeking a Vessel to turn into an Adversary and defeat the last god standing. Though some Vessels appeared amongst the researchers, many believed that Kaling, despite her talents, would become a defective Vessel. A researcher named Aroa, who was close friends with Kaling, warned her that the experiments to become an Adversary were brutal, and that she may feel unending pain or even experience death as a side effect. Aroa also warned her that the fatal flaw of Adversaries created in Odium was that they would lose their humanity and forget their memories and their feelings for loved ones, reduced to only caring about becoming an Adversary and fulfilling their assigned destiny. Despite knowing the risks, Kaling gladly agreed to undergo the experiments, as she had a strong desire for peace and had full faith that the experiments would bring about that peace. However, though Kaling underwent the brutal experiments, she was ultimately deemed a defective Vessel.

>Over time, Kaling slowly began losing herself as a consequence of the experiments. Aroa soon discovered that Kaling had created four mechanical monsters imbibed with energy. Kaling explained that while the researchers had Vessels and Godspheres, they lacked the power to fill the Vessels in order to make them stronger.

>She revealed that while her four machines were small, they could amass great power by consuming other small monsters, which could then give rise to an extremely powerful Adversary. Despite Aroa and the other researchers recognizing the signs of contamination in Kaling, they turned a blind eye to her experiments, refusing to believe that the contamination could affect even the best of them. Towards the end of the war, the contamination deepened inside Kaling, erasing her morality and causing her to fall completely to evil. After she released her four monsters - Hundun, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Taotie - into the world, her creations began consuming fiends and terrorizing the entirety of Grandis with their impunity. Aroa soon confronted Kaling and ordered her to terminate her research immediately, claiming that it was a complete failure. Aroa explained to Kaling that her monsters had become known as the Four Perils, and that they were causing great harm upon the people of Grandis. However, Kaling retorted that Grandis was already embroiled in war and chaos, even without her creations. She then claimed that once the Four Perils consumed enough monsters, she would combine them and create an extremely powerful Adversary who could defeat all the Ancient Gods and win the war.

>Before Kaling's experiment could finish, however, the Adversaries defeated the last Ancient God at the site where the holy city of Cernium would one day be founded. At the end of the war, the elders and the researchers realized that they could no longer turn a blind eye to Kaling's madness, and so they had her seized from Odium. As she furiously demanded to be let go of, Zigang stepped in and ordered for her to released. Upon seeing Zigang, Kaling addressed him as her master and asked him to tell them what he had always told her – how he had always known just how much of an outstanding researcher she was.

Not only were skills massively inflated like balloon tits but so werecosmetics. Damage numbers got so long, pets and androids and familiars following you, nx effects that made your sillhouette expand 4x whenever you jump or attack, they clearly stopped giving a fuck at a certain point. Even the introduction of skill opacity didn't help. Everything is just so obnoxiously loud and big for no good reason.
>>
>>736689229
>>736689292
>When Zigang said nothing, Kaling asked him why he was looking at her like that, reminding him how he had always, without any doubt, believed that the world needed her research. However, Zigang then asked her what she planned to do after finishing her research. When Kaling remained silent, he sharply asked her what she was planning to do with her beasts in a world that had barely just ended one war. When Kaling was still unable to reply, Zigang declared that she had created monsters, adding that the blame lay with him, not with her. Kaling appealed to Zigang, calling him her master, but Zigang merely declared that he was disavowing her, and that she was no longer his disciple. With that, Zigang turned his back on her and walked away. Refusing to give up, Kaling continued calling after him, reaching out with all her might towards the back of the man who she realized was no longer her master, but none of her cries were answered. Kaling was then sealed away by Tai Yu, another defective Vessel, trapped under the hardest and heaviest rock in Odium, which Tai Yu bound in place with golden chains and countless sealing talismans. Tai Yu also sealed most of the Four Perils, though the elders took Hundun, the strongest of the four, and secretly fused him with the World Heart before imprisoning him in the laboratory, where he served as the power source for the floating citadel. The researchers also used some of Kaling's old research to create the Constables - mechanical dolls made in the researchers' image from before the contamination had touched them, which they left behind to maintain the laboratory in their absence.

(you), a special person, are not yet capable of defeating this bigger bad guy so you defeat his strongest underlings (twelve total) and in the process become stronger so you can (eventually) defeat this bad guy

of course I'm skipping a lot of shit, but the issue is that the above story applies to all classes (instead of them having their own storylines to fit the above story). You picked an explorer? (you) are the chosen one and dialogue is mostly the same. You picked a class with established lore (for example, Mercedes)? (you) are the chosen one and dialogue is mostly the same. A new story that perhaps has ramifications for a certain class is released? Sorry can't have that because the story is the same regardless of what class you picked.

Nothing wrong with it, but it's just really strange to me. Why aren't we marketing kids games to kids anymore? Is it just aging population or is there something else going on here? Are Gen Z / Alpha simply not interested in video games anymore?

I don't mind having extremely strong low-leveled equipment. Just make it more difficult to acquire.
I like the idea of bosses dropping parts needed to craft boss equipment instead of just having bosses drop equipment outright. That makes it harder to get because you not only need to now farm bosses but you need to have your specific crafting job hinted at in-game to be at an appropriate level.

1. zhelms didn't come from swiping your credit card
2. zhelms got nerfed to hell, with all stats reduced from 15 to 5, no more accuracy/avoid, reduced def and slots reduced to 7.
That's still good, but even lv90 pre-bb hats could almost match that, and classic world gear is getting buffed.
It's no longer a forever hat.
In fact, by the time you'll probably already have something better by the time you can do zakum, unless you're just buying it for a lv50 alt or something.

Jump quests are fun but they need to have a fulfilling reward at the end.
The maplestory anniversary event where they did "conclusions" to various popular quests (like Chief Stan's letter to his son or Maya) had a jump quest where the only thing you got was an etc. item you can't even display in your home. The jump quest was actually fun so I didn't mind it but there was no reason to actually do it even for the event.

Well yeah.
He wasn't even streaming to be a "content creator". He was streaming specifically because he suspected Nexon to ban him for some bullshit reason due to pressure from KMS whales complaining that the first level 300 character ever should be in KMS. His time streaming was done as proof of no wrongdoing.

I don't know about him apologizing because I didn't bother to keep up with him but I do know he went and leveled up off-screen because someone was going to achieve level 300 soon after and there were rumors of shifting celebration over to that person, so he "stole" it.

Maple should just focus on the adventure, and just keep expanding and connecting the world instead of making the world have stand alone theme park maps.

I would love to be able to travel from orbis to aqua to ludi ON FOOT. I want to be able to cross the korean folk town through the desert, and end up back at the base of orbis tower.

With the involvement of partying being much more important in classic, being able to explore the world and have interesting places to farm would be dope. The deeper and deeper you get into the world the harder and better farming spots their are etc. etc.

The 6th job skill is a summon that's supposed to spawn an "angel". Nexon decided that ascending into godhood wasn't enough so they also began adding in cosmetics you can use to cover this angel summon. The "anime lolis giving peace signs" is the thing flying around the statue and the peace sign is one of that summon's active skills. Here's how it's supposed to look normally: >>736671535

I think the real issue with this is their inability to allow advanced hotkeys. It's fucking miserable trying to fit that many spells on individual keys instead of allowing Shift + # or Control + #

Thank you for explaining.

I'm so fucking glad I stopped playing after about a year of Big Bang, the power creep and incentives of the newer maplestory puts me off. Hope classic is a more RPG focused game.

Big Bang was a great update but far from flawless. Most of the stat and class changes were great, and the EXP curve was streamlined but not blindingly fast like current day. They made quests better too. Unfortunately it came with a lot of problems like flattening all the maps.
Too many people just scream big bang bad big bang bad, when in reality it was two steps forward one step back. Then Nexon tripped on that one step back and kept stumbling backwards starting with Mihile (the advent of giving everyone Flash Jump skills).
>>
>>736707567
Pre Big Bang I was level 85 Dragon Knight. Post big bang i got to 120.

I liked Big Bang desu. Not as much charm as og maple, but still good, a lot of quality of life features. I stopped playing due to life responsibilities

>>736710358
fair enough. they added some good shit after big bang but I'd say the tipping point was shortly after raising the level cap from 200 to 250. Raising the level cap was fine so it can introduce new avenues of content but they didn't bother balancing the beginning and mid game any more after that (arguably they didn't already but it was made much worse where now lvl 200 is the tutorial and you fly by all old content in the blink of an eye)
>>
>>736711103
My guess would be that they are doing an announcement on anniversary stream perhaps for open beta that leads to launch and more or less expecting official release during summer. I'd welcome a suprise open beta/test to launch from the anniversary, but that it just hopium.
>>736711157
Have to see what happens, but hopefully it doesn't come to that. It really isn't too suprising that groups of people leave and form again behind closed doors if there is an issue with this.

Korean games are designed are pure optimization, which is why modern MS is the way it is, from class design to map layouts to just about everything else.
Inkwell recognizes this and knows this is not the type of gameplay the west wants (and has admitted as much, albeit accidentally), which is why Classic World is GMS exclusive.

Most don't care because of sunk cost, stockholm syndrome, etc. Whatever you want to call it. There is a vocal minority that bemoans the fact that they don't get a classic world, but again they're in the minority especially because they already have Maple Worlds.

They are aesthetically goated. God tier designs. They should not be game breaking meta wise though. Perhaps a nice alternative for specific level ranges of gear, but not super uber abusable late game best in slot gigaweapons.
>>
>>736682372
>rates were actually higher than advertised
that's how you know it wasn't intentional this time.
>>
>>736715351
Too much power for too little cost. Their entire existence effectively forced you into not investing in your secondary stat else you'd be forever unoptimal.
And at the end of the day, that's what it came down to. Dexless thieves, Lukless magicians, the reason they were so dominant was because of how easy maple weapons made such builds. All the upsides of pumping your main stat with none of the downsides.

>>
>>736715351
>>736715420
the play is just to make them cosmetic, by the way. i love their designs and they're such a distinct part of old maplestory. but statting them and making them absurdly strong if you completely ignore one of your stats was always stupid and absolutely unintended.

Anyone feel like they're just going to shadowdrop classic sometime after the beta without saying anything?
>>
>>736715793
Most likely during the anniversary stream they are announcing open beta and if you believe enough, official release date.
Would be a power move to announce that classic is going live today during the stream, but that is just unlikely even if it would be neat.
>>
>>736715793
I genuinely thought they were going to do that at Maplecon and Inkwell made it sound like that was the plan at first with the whole "We could release it RIGHT NOW", but I think he knows how anticipated it is so that's somewhat unlikely but not a 0% chance.

i'm pretty sure the idea is to make final attack a bossing skill, since it's just a dps loss when you're mobbing now. regardless it's really clunky and they need to address readability for it.
>>
>>736650497
How about no knights of nignigs at all. This is classic MapleStory, I don't want newer shit added over and over until it eventually just turns into an alternate version of modern MapleStory. it's already bad enough they're adding 4th job.

Expect the party exp buff reverted to old values or downright removed after this beta as well. The moment one party manages to pull ahead of others everyone is going to ask for the party exp formula to be catered for solo play again.

What went wrong for the fun, simple, and methodical gameplay of old maple to turn into this garbage?
>>
>>736666131
Why not just make it really strong single target damage so it can retain its identity? Making every attack into a mobbing move is how MapleStory gradually turned into the shit it is now.
>>
>>736717281
That's stupid because they need a buffed party exp formula so people aren't soloing or just sitting around with a thumb up their ass waiting for Holy Symbol. It sucks when you have people to train and others rotate out and then the new people refuse to do anything because of no HS.

There was another MMORPG around at the time, Trickster Online, that had a really cool party system, where everyone in it would get a bonus EXP multiplier if the party had a specific composition in it. For example, 2x EXP if everyone in the party was the same class or the same gender, or 2.5x EXP if the party had at least one of every class type. Of course the players had to be in a similar level range or you wouldn't get the EXP bonus. It basically ensured everyone would party up to grind or farm.
I think it'd be cool if Maplestory did something similar, but I suppose that's not really "classic".

>>
when is it coming out?
>>
>>736668724
That's what gave every class an identity. every class being able to mob early on or be efficient at mobbing makes the game more dull, like modern maple. You adapt and you can focus on maps that have fewer stronger monsters that offer more XP, and thieves have haste so they can deal with platformy maps better.
>>
>>736685443
>>736686625
Make fire arrow much stronger to compensate, making fire mages the best single target in 2nd job. When you start making everyone's main attack a mobbing skill you turn it into the braindead shit modern maple turned into. I hated that 4th job made heroes just an off-brand dragon knight and the whole combo mechanic becomes completely useless thanks to brandish.
>>
>>736686065
I almost want to make a spearman instead because the life leech final attack sounds cool. They should just make FA function like it used to with power strike, but in 3rd and 4th job it adds an extra line of damage to dragon crusher, brandish, brandish and blast so it's always useful. Maybe even add an additional animation to those 3rd and 4th job attacks so it's not just a random line of damage out of nowhere.
