MapleStory Classic online test has entered its 6th day. Who else got in? For those who didn't, who are we watchin'? /ourgirl/ just hit 20 straight hours.

Open beta when?

I couldn't sign up for the beta because I never had a maplestory account prior.
Started playing on a classic private server but after level 10, I forgot the PIN to log in and there's no support to contact for the private server

Sins getting to 50 is fraudulent since there's a low chance of ap/sp resets being obtainable without paying.

MapleStory came out before wow did.
>>
>>737272157
nope, inkwell said last year that "it was ready for release" but this beta has crashes just from opening party/buddy lists unless you're on comp for win7. Accuracy is so fucked that everything but mages miss over 60% of the time following standard stat spread and gear prog.
If it launches it's gonna tank, it'll need till winter at LEAST for them to fix this shit, but they also didn't see it in the year it's been announced and the multiple years "they've been working on it" so I don't think it'll ever be good enough. So they probably launch soon to rugpull.
>>
>>737272461
That skill is a trap. The reason it's working so well in this beta is because SP resets aren't tied to real money. The moment Classic goes live and SP resets are behind a paywall again, drain will go back to being a character bricker.
>>
>>737272578
Actually they're just going to buff lucky seven.
>>
>>737272640
Buffing Lucky Seven does nothing for sins at the moment since they're massive pot eaters outside of drain. The beta players are getting far too comfortable relying on AP/SP resets or not thinking about how those might be potentially unobtainable for the average players.

Drain at a certain level can effectively heal a sin back to full health so you spend less on hp potions and can focus on getting lemons, making them more efficient than clerics.
But this relies putting points into drain. What most players on the CBT are doing is respeccing their ability points with AP Resets for different grinding spots effectively "nullifying" the opportunity cost of having drain over the other assassin skills. This won't work at launch if you're a f2p like 99% of players are because SP Resets are in the cash shop and will be directly tied to paying just like before.
>>
>>737273339
Even in original MS mages rarely had to worry about accuracy, but they would still miss on occasion and they certainly couldn’t tank or hit enemies too high of a level above them. The way the accuracy formula seems to have been reworked for Classic World, it should be factoring enemy level way more than originally, which is why the rest of the classes have been struggling on enemies they otherwise used to hit consistently, but I almost wonder if there’s some error with how magic damage is being calculated in that formula that basically lets it bypass accuracy completely. It’s very clear that something isn’t right with how overturned mages are right now.
>>
>>737274954
leaf points existing means anyone will be able to get resets.
Now, will the resets be one-for-all or one-for-one remains to be seen, they're one for all now but that means fuckall for a month.
>>
>>737275091
Leaf points are the maple points equivalent, not reward points. You won't be getting those f2p.
>>
>>737274650
>>737274954
Forgot to post the pic which contained Assassin skills. Yes drain is really good but if you're putting points into Drain, you're potentially not putting points into claw mastery, throw, booster or haste.
"""Free"""" SP Resets gets around this opportunity cost but it'll be dependent on if SP resets are obtainable through F2P means.

>>737275091
I hope so, but if this is the case then Drain would have to be nerfed because they work really well thanks to this weird technicality.
>>
>>737275080
They didn't have to worry about accuracy for anything realistic to train on, but they couldn't casually go to an enemy 20+ levels above them and not expect to miss most of the time. Magic is just ignoring accuracy entirely right now.

I was saying that beta players shouldn't get too comfortable with the ap/sp resets because there's a chance it might not play out that way in actual retail classic.
If launch actually stays this way and getting AP/SP resets is doable as a F2P then yeah this is a great strategy.

Deadass if you go to the Maplestory Discord right now and say Holy Arrow should get nerfed, you get at least 5-6 mage mains biting your head off and eventually insulting you.

Holy Arrow has the highest single-target DPS in the game, and their defence is "it's second job. mages are bad for bossing after 3rd job" - apparently that makes it ok for Clerics to outdamage Assassins/Bandits/Warriors in 2nd job.

>>
>>737276553
just letting you (and anyone who falls for the propaganda) know:
nu-maple is EXTREMELY seasonal event reliant for newbies, so while you're free to play however you want until summer or winter event, it is HIGHLY recommended you actually make your main during those major events (begins on june or dec) to take advantage of the full newbie handjob package

starting while off-event literally makes the early game experience DOZENS of times slower, so it's better to just messing around like doing irrelevant world quests in the meantime rather than trying to actually progress
>>
>>737277758
It's still fun to experience the content that is available before level 200 at least once.
Also theres *probably* a hyper burn in next weeks anniversary event anyway

Is this shit really still bugged? I've seen people complain about it for days.
>>
>>737271847
There's a reason PQs were highly regarded compared to grinding. Making parties valuable is a big start but there needs to be cosmetic reasons behind grinding in different areas and more gameplay interaction vs mobs. They should give areas unique spawn behaviors and mob mechanics. I'm honestly disappointed that maplestory hasn't advanced to the point where you're playing an MMO -vania where you dodge attacks, execute combos, and solve puzzles to advance.

>>737279759
they are real, just remember to report the key as fraudulent no matter what, because I guarantee you're buying from a chinese.
Look at their ebay stats if they have nothing but buys (usually pokemon cards) or are only SELLING pokemon cards, they bought the account. There are thousands of for sale ebay accounts that don't look overly suspicious.
If it's chinese, report them to ebay after you get your key (and confirm it worked) and get your refund!

I could see that. There's constantly been a market for good -vanias it boggles my mind that a studio hasn't taken the low hanging fruit of doing a maple adjacent MMO in the format with actual gameplay. It also lends itself to being playable on phones which is what lots of Asian game studios require for production.

Yeah and many parents back then didn't understand "subscription services" aka they were not going to give you their card to sign up for something online. I tried to explain I'd pay for signing up for WoW, but they basically said they don't want their CC info online. Besides that, you need an actual graphics card($500-800 back then) to play WoW at 60 fps, as well as a Core 2 Duo Intel at 2.0 Ghz $(700-900) at the time. Also Broadband internet, which was 3-5Mbps at the time and cost quite a bit monthly in the US ($60/mo) to even download the 10-20gb WoW client. Maple ran on anything, required only dial-up and was less than 1 or 2 gigs of space so could be downloaded in an hour or two.

I'm not saying the game is dead but there's not nearly as many people playing as everyone's trying to hype up, most people are just watching the fucking game cause they didn't get in.
I did, btw.cause I'm not a fucking loser and I've been playing maplestory longer than you've been alive.

Your first sentence is bullshit so I'm not reading the rest.
I routinely encounter 4+ people in random transition maps there is no value training on because they were pushed out of the other ones while walking between the cities.

The average map in the play test is far more populated than it ever was in live classic. Which makes sense because there's literally 2 fucking channels

Classic Doomer here. I just thought of something.
>Classic can't survive because realistically Nexon can only copy/paste skills from modern and call it "balance"

Basically Classic has no chance of ever obtaining it's own identity because of this. The drain change is how it works in modern. Masteries for classes is how they work in modern. The weapon attack/attack power divide is how it works in modern. They basically won't ever come up with any original job skills for classic and will just keep copying over modern skills into the classic engine. A lot of the current changes seem inspired by early big bang when inkwell was in charge as well.
>>
>>737282049
Early big bang changes were fine, the problem was giving everyone flash jump and FMAs afterwards. For a very brief period of time (outside of creeping cancer like potentials which came before BB and Victoria Islands layout getting destroyed) BB was actually a really high point for the game.

>>737282049
well it makes sense they basically imported classic into the new engine, so in the backend it probably runs mostly the same

I have no clue what they've been spending all their time on. I guess re-doing artwork a bit so it fits better on hi-res monitors, and the crafting system stuff. But this doesn't mean they can't change things and try new stuff, they already added a new zone.

Yeah, lots of people blindly hate on Big Bang when it did more good than harm for the game. In my opinion the only bad thing Big Bang really did was streamline the map design and made everything flat. The actually bad stuff didn't come out until later. Power creep started to take over after Mechanic's release, and widespread mobility skills like Flash Jump started around Mihile's release.

NTA but no, that is a normal fucking thing. It is human nature to enjoy things for a short while then move on to something new or different. The entirety of the human race has developed the way it did specifically because of this - people get bored of the status quo and want to change things, move on to something else, or explore something new.
If anything, playing the same exact game for several years is the indicator something is wrong with you, and unfortunately modern game devs are specifically designing games catered to this exact crowd. Every game is trying to be someone's "forever game". Gachas are notorious for this shit.

I have no problem with occasional flat areas. We can't expect all indoor maps to have unique geometry. It's when 99% of the maps are like that is where it becomes an issue to me. Sure we had Ghost Ship, Haunted Mansion, Magatia, and Temple of Time which were all flat, but there were plenty of non-flat areas as well. Big Bang got rid of all that.
>>
Niru at 99.99%

Rant incoming
>>
>>737282772
But the fm can be fixed by allowing shops everywhere and it even makes it more fun than arbitrary.

Setting up a shop in front of the vendor selling your old mage gear for 20% off in front of the ellina shop for example to fund your next mage gear is fun.
Or setting up a shop with mission items you found in front of the mission NPC.

That said I suppose it's only fun in limitation of the beta test. If it followed to live classic in a few months people would just make underselling NPC shops a full time job and snipe the location every reset like a turbojew

It should probably be toned down, but I don't have a problem with holy arrow being good.
But I do have a problem with cold beam being shit.
Because of the way multi hit skills scale, it's barely better than magic claw, and in fact magic claw scales better so it does eventually out damage cold beam and fire arrow.
This is some clown world shit no matter how you look at it.

I think there's some confusion. That's just standard shitposting over something they find annoying. It's common all over the fastest boards, and the phrase "lost and got raped" is repeated ad nauseaum all over the site and it's not used seriously. It just sounds like people got tired of other people spamming links to him and screencaps nobody really gives a fuck about, and the logical next step was to just mock the people spamming those links. I personally get annoyed by people using these threads as a second Twitch chat myself.
I don't think I want to keep engaging with this, so I'll leave it at that. I know /msg/ really likes him, so maybe posting it there wouldn't provoke so much shitposting.

What about Final Attack being ASS for archers? It animation locks you when activating when you could possibly be mobbing. Hunter FA is literal dogshit, doing less damage than their mob skill and would lower their single target DPS. Crossbow FA lowers their mobbing DPS and will be lowering your single target DPS when 3rd job comes out because there's no way 3rd job Archer won't have Strafe.

Not sure why this sperg keeps trying to cry that Classic is a failure. Everyone who actually played it seems to love it even if there are a few issues.
It's obviously not going to attract or retain new players in it's current state, but that was the same with OSRS which proceeded to add content and become very popular. Classic has a similar opportunity.
>>
It's hilarious watching /msg/ faggots pretend to like Classic when they've been so against it for years already.

my thoughts are
mages still have a hard start but get strong pretty quick
i do think it's weird that they are so accurate, i think mages and bowmen should have about the same accuracy
the crafting system is interesting and i'd like to see where it goes
hopefully the mtx isn't intrusive, for now nx is basically free so its hard to judge
i'm sure those inclined to gambling will be losing their minds over scrolls and hope that's enough for those of us who aren't can play in peace
>>
INT should give accuracy and the magic accuracy formula should be removed in favor of just using the normal accuracy
>>
>>737287601
It's not even that they're "so accurate", it seems like they flubbed the calculations in a way that makes mages bypass it entirely.
>>
oh also
i don't like that the snail shell throwing skill is back to using shells
it makes the mage (and thief, i assume) start worse than it has any reason to be, and the skill is already hurt by everything having more hp, it's basically not worth using
especially when the mage job advancement was moved to level 10

it's sort of balanced out by base weapon damage being higher so mages can just smack stuff with a sword, but it's still slow and painful

Having played too much of the closed beta it reminds me of everything bad about every Pserver ever where you have sweaties minmaxing like crazy and people spamming smegas to either shill their stream or talking like /pol/. Then you have the community which is full of merchants trying to one-up the other via either lying or scamming even when everything's going to get wiped.

Hopefully actual launch will be better when people can actually play instead of a limited ammount of people. There definitely will be minmaxing, but for majority of players I don't think they care about that or putting in 12h days on grinding. Megas/smegas will likely be a bit more easier on the spam after initial hype and all that as you do have to pay for them. Merching is always going to be like that honestly.

Most people are deep in the sweat right now because it's a limited time event and they want to get as far as they can. It feels like everyone's doing everything they can to minmax because there's so few people (relatively) playing it right now.
It'll be better on official launch when there's hundreds/thousands more playing the game. Yes, there will always be minmaxing sweats/NEETs, but they will be proportionally fewer compared to the casuals.

I tried a ton of MMORPG back then but only stuck around to MS, specifically because the cheap side scrolling 2D lends itself really well for making a ton of setting variety. The world just looked fun to live in, unlike 3D MMOs of the time (or even today) or isometric 2D MMOs which had a hard time conveying structures due to the perspective. Also the devs didn't limit themselves to the standard aesthetic which made the environment much more varied, picrel. I spent a ton of hours exploring the world and barely even leveling.

Remember everything you hated? Well, it’s here. Bow whacking, bad janky hit boxes for any melee character, and the only “doable” classes to play pre-lv 35 are mage and throwing star rouges because mage is the most powerful and rouges have jump attack. Wanna fight kpq king slime as a melee? Well dont. With all lv 25 gear including cape and earrings, he hits 300, and hits OFTEN, so you literally can't heal fast enough, and you def cant afford the better 500hp pots, and even if you can you wont for long cause it took me over 20 white pots and i died once as a melee character (not to mention melee range SUCKS and you have to be on top of monsters). This brings me to the worst offender: you cant spam pots. It feels like pots have a 1sec cooldown, and on top of that you can’t use pots while picking up items, and you sometimes can’t attack or use pots while picking up items. Vise versa as well. I’ve gotten hit so much because i went to use a potion while a monster was coming at me and i couldnt attack because i used the potion =3=. I mean again… for a 20+ year old recreation, why keep all that jank? It feels awful! It doesn’t matter that despite all these things the nostalgia in my brain keeps me going somehow, because the game feels bad. This should be the smoothest most enjoyable experience in the modern day with our modern technology. I’ve played so many private servers with more quality of life, or improvements to game feel. I kinda mentioned it before, but they need to do something about hitboxes for melee characters. Idk what, they just need to fix it. Im currently amassing a compilation of “times i should have hit that monster but didnt” video. Final notes here are that quests aren’t worth doing and PQ is also too expensive considering the rewards suck 80% of the time. These should be great alternatives that give their own special rewards worth investing the time or being an alternative to just grinding mobs.

There's room for both, but nexon has to tread carefully and stagger update cadence, to not cannibalize. People will definitely play during the GMS downtime with like haste events and shit, but if they have both doing major events and updates simultaneously it'll kill one or the other.

I don't know why FA doesn't simply add an extra line with a percentage chance instead of animation locking you.

This is a very generous way to express "holding your attack skill for 45 minutes while your pet autopots". I commend your creativity.

when do you guys think it will release? i hear some people saying it will release on maplestory's anniversary on may 11th? do you think that's realistic or is it too soon?

Looks like all that mechanical bossing skill is useless if they can't even make it to Zakum. Which makes Classic harder than numaple as it filters out adhd autists.

I don't deny for one second modern Maplestory is slow at the later levels, retard. The point of contention is that it's braindead. There is zero thought that goes into the grind, it's an endless loop of clearing mobs on flat-design maps.

In Classic, there is a very real challenge with making sure you're making enough meso to offset the potions you're losing. This has filtered a huge portion of people including the redditor retard posted above. This challenge is non-existent in nuMaple because it's trivial to stockpile power elixirs, which heal 100% HP and mana instantly.

Even if they do announce it during anniversary, it'll be vagueposting like "Summer 2026"

>>737296194
Ah yes, you have no response, glad to hear.
the BEST thing about new maple is the fucking bosses, it's really the only good thing, they've even gotten rid of grinding with sol janus.
Classic maple's best element is the steady path of progression. They can both be made better.
You're just a stupid nigger.

I do think around the anniversary there will be more information about classic. Honestly I think they might even run a new test after changing things around, but have to see. However I don't think they'll get everything fixed and in ideal state even for launch, but it is what it is.

1. Grinding isn't hard, it's time consuming. Wasting potions doesn't make you fail grinding, it just makes it take longer. People used to just sit on chairs to regen instead of crying out running out of pots but muh efficiency muh min maxing.
2. The entire point of numaple is that grinding isn't supposed to be hard because the game has evolved beyond grinding being the only thing you do.
When Kobe fucking died out in hard kaling 3 times due to lack of hands he fucking crashed out and booted up classic world to relax. Does classic really sound like the more challenging game if numaple players literally use it as a more relaxing break?

WHY is this game SO POPULAR in that country

maplestory has ALWAYS been the normalfag MMO, it's literally what started the "meet women on an MMO" thing because it was like 50/50 asian cali whores and men.

>>737297245
>>737297339
>>737297381
They used maplestory as a chat room instead of grinding, it's literally why the term henehoe exists.
Nowadays a game like FFXIV is more what normie girls play because most of the game is just like watching a twilight movie or something, you watch the pretty boys do cool things and then after that you can ERP with your e-boyfriend.

>>737296847
Not him but it's clear to see Kobe is struggling hard in Classic. He's worse than the average Classic boomer.

Most of whom aren't around yet because the game is in CBT and only the most autistic and dedicated people got a key along with some luckfags.
Also most of the normies would take a look at the retarded shitflinging on all social media (leddit/4chan/discord) and just leave instead

The same that makes any other game be particularly popular in certain countries:
PC gaming happened to become popular just at the right time for Maplestory's demo release, so the MMORPG target audience wasn't already captured by other MMOs. Local flash game aggregator websites spread the demo around and it got popular. Maplestory then released globally and didn't require much to be played by kids with bad internet connection, so it kept growing more popular. By that point if you weren't playing Maplestory you were missing out on hangouts with your friends, so it became a national sensation.
These days it isn't popular anymore, but old players have nostalgia for it.
on a related note, this video was VERY popular for the time (though the view count doesn't really reflect it now):

What kinda new bosses would you like to see in classic?
>>
>>737297683
He couldn't handle playing a warrior and had to switch to easy mode mage. Taken out of his comfort zone he's dogshit at the game
>>
>>737298205
I'd like to see them backport boss changes like chaos zak (he would fit PERFECT in classic if they made him a little bit slower on the slaps, and actually requires skill instead of just a bunch of shitty stat and allcure locks), and then I think something like guardian slime would be pretty cool, he's not a super crazy boss, and if they shrunk the map to make it more traversible (or strongly incentivize mages or dits for haste) it could be very fun.
>>
>>737298265

Same for me except I'm worried about fighter. I mained fighter back in the day and I loved being a crusader, charging orbs to use panic and coma made it one of the most interesting characters to play. And as excited as I was to advance to hero, brandish just completely invalidates the playstyle of crusader and you just become a discount dragon knight, spamming the same attack that hits 3 targets except it's faster. It's dull compared to 3rd job.

Page pretty much feels like you're playing 2nd job the entire game, since blast is essentially power strike, and charged blow is slash blast. You're also encouraged to limit yourself to training against monsters with elemental weaknesses. But heaven's hammer seems neat and I like how they have tanky skills. I think I'd still prefer that over brandish spam.

>>737271532
They get teleport in second job which makes them way more mobile than anyone else. 3rd job is probably their worst because they just feel weak. Their damage still wasn't great in 4th job but they were broken at grinding since their screen clearing attacks had no cooldown and were just very MP potion heavy. Especially the bishop since skellies was the best training spot and they were weak to holy.

Guardian angel slime would be a perfect boss for classic, if you remove the map gimmicks you barely have to change his actual attacks to make him fit in, just add ropes to the arena and you already have a pretty engaging boss that rewards team work while not being that complex either. You'd have to manage the slime summons while also trying to control where the boss teleports so you can try and hit him from above instead of being on the same platform.
He's basically just an upgraded king slime
>>
>>737272461
Weird that it's assassins of all classes who get a main attack skill that has life leech, enough that you pretty much never have to use HP potions. Considering they're one of the best at avoiding damage to due their avoid, mobility, and range. Spearman's final attack also has life leech but unless you play really defensively I doubt it's going to keep you topped off the way drain does.
>>
>>737298854
I think the map gimmicks would serve to benefit the fight ESPECIALLY in classic, honestly. It makes it so people can't solo (the death of maple), and you HAVE to have either a bandit or a mage with you.

I'm fine with power strike and slash blast, though I wish slash blast was back to 6 instead of 4, felt a bit rough in the beta at times especially with the invincibility time being lower..

Yes, it's shitty as it sounds. It essentially will take you at least 5 minutes to fully heal your HP and MP. With the HP aspect being worthless when you have drain. This why I have no faith in skills being balanced, they can't even do basic math.

>100% damage against 3 enemies
what the FUCK were they thinking? It would be different if the final attack was almost instant but on archers it's just slightly faster than your normal attacks. It's shit whether you're using power shot/double shot or bomb arrow.

Though not nearly as bad on fighters, I think their final attack is also pretty shit. 180% x 3 enemies is good if you're using slash blast, which only hits 4 enemies for 130% now, but it's fucking useless on power strike because you have no use for a mob attack follow up when you're using a single target attack. Which is a pretty big deal for crusaders who will be using power strike till 120. And yet people are defending it because no one is bothering to do the math.
>>
>>737299871
because they didn't fucking rebalance anything, they changed some skills. Accuracy is literally WORSE than it was back in the day, mages are the ONLY viable class until sins hit 40.

Honestly this closed test has brought down my hopes for this game quite a lot. I don't know what I expected since it's Nexon like yeah sure, but still. Some of the stuff doesn't seem too time consuming and hard to fix, but current state of the game is a bit confusing to me. More and more information that I get from watching and reading stuff, the more I get worried.
I don't know. I want to stay optimistic instead of just shitting on everything as I do want this game to be good, but they have got to get some changes in.

The fuck are you talking about, not a single boss in maplestory currently has a regular jump as part of their movement. No the boss teleporting or having a visual jump attack is not the same as them jumping like mobs used to do in classic. Also arcane river isn't even the vast majority of bosses and it never has been.

>>737299871
other classes are fundamentally fucked, and the reworks they would require are one of 2 options:
a) change the core concept of the class and introduce multiple new skills
b) buff skill damage by a fuck ton

they can't do option "a" because it would hurt nostalgia (classic's main selling point) and also increase dev costs (even more so for the long term when more job advancements release and they'll need to fit them to the new class concepts).
and they are too afraid to do option "b" and accidentally make the classes unbalanced in the long term (also applies to option "a").
in other words, they are too cowardly to change the game.

It isn't "not as good" but dog shit that would soft brick your character if you ever wanted to use Arrow Bomb or Iron Arrow and you had a 60% to get animation locked at places like Deep Ludi. Was always better to never invest any points because the only positive FA had was "an attack that didn't use mana". Otherwise it would animation lock you when you would want to move on a class that dies in two hits, and uses an attack that would be weaker than the one you were just using.

well, for this test the only class that doesn't have to deal with an exceptional amount of retarded damage kneecapping to be able to hit enemies is mage, so mage right now.

There fundamental problems with other classes trying to do Jr. Balrog. Warriors can tank a hit but don't have the accuracy. Bandits will have better accuracy but have low HP. Archers can attack from a range and has the accuracy but are locked into place while firing which can be death if the boss advances so the archer is in range. Mages don't seem to worry about accuracy and they can tank hits with magic guard. Assassin has the accuracy and they can keep their distance by jumping away from the boss and throwing stars at it to maintain the distance.

In 3rd job Chief Bandits get Meso Guard which fixes their survivability problem. In OSMS Puppet is what archers use to kill bosses that one shot them. I expect Meso Guard to be a thing, but OSMS Puppet has never been done since. Private servers Puppets are slightly jank, especially when Gobies are involved. Post Big Bang made the Puppet do something functionally different. Any Maplestory Worlds iteration of Puppet is far from what it's use for (Artale makes it so it reduces damage by a percentage... if you're in a certain proximity to the Puppet).

So for some classes it's okay for this to happen because it's likely that they'll have the tools to make up for their short comings. Other classes not so much.

>meso guard
>when the economy is already this bad

>>
>>737305680
With more points into Meso Guard it reduces the amount of mesos it consumes while still shaving off a bunch of damage. So at higher levels it saves you money.
>>
>>737305547
actually if you watch the kill the one sin barely has the accuracy to actually hit the jr balrog in the first place, he's just there for aggro control so he can bait the boss back to the right so the mages can keep kiting. So even the traditional tank/aggro role of a warrior is being handled by a fucking sin instead. Warriors and Archers are just straight up useless bricks in this version they excel at literally nothing.

Coma would do like 16k damage up to 6 enemies around the time you maxed it. No other class doing those kinds of numbers at the time and it felt special. Ideally they would make panic and coma still worth using once you had brandish. Where is the character's identity when they make those skills useless, how is brandish any different than dragon crusher?
>>
>less than a week in and people already want to kill endgame
min maxing was a mistake, streaming was a mistake
>>
>>737305794
Archers were always a solo class. Using Puppet for bossing really drives that point home since you can't have boss aggro shifted off of you for Puppet to function.

Warriors always had tough shit when trying to kill monsters 30 levels above them. They aren't an Archer going to a zone 15 levels above them, they need to be closer in level because part of building a warrior is threading the line in just needing enough accuracy while maximizing your damage.
>>
>>737305978
>Ideally they would make panic and coma still worth using once you had brandish
You're not doing that. To make a new main skill for 3rd job means it has to be superior to Power Strike and Slash Blast. And it has to be much better than those two skills to be worth it. Then if that's the case why are you consuming your damage multiplier on a finisher rather than keeping a high multiplier on a skill that's better than power strike?
>>
>>737305547
at levels 70+ who cares that's the intended level. The point of the matter is twofold:
why are mages capable of hitting something 30-40 levels above them with no particular accuracy hit and able to bypass magdef, it's an issue for any worldboss vs an instanceboss because mages can just camp it forever.
>>
>>737304543
The appeal of MapleStory was being a 2D MMO RPG with charming aesthetics, and to this day there is still nothing equivalent to it aside from really obscure MMOs no one knows exists. No shit people didn't care about a generic 3D weeb MMO that was shamelessly made to look like Minecraft with the hideous blocky environments, just because minecraft was big at the time, which wasn't popular because of its ugly blocky visuals. I hated MapleStory 2 the moment I saw it, and by time I waited for it to release in the US to try it out it was already shut down.

>>737306173
That's my reasoning for why I dislike what they did with 4th job. What is the point of the combo orbs anymore if you never use them because you want the large damage buff to benefit brandish? Ideally they could adjust the skill so you get a damage buff regardless of your orb count so that there is no downside to using coma and panic. If I wanted to play a braindead character that just uses one skill I would have gone with the dragon knight.

Basically just no "story bosses". Almost all the bosses released in the last decade are bosses that relate to either the Black Mage or the person the Black Mage was preparing the player to fight, with the rest (outside of Guardian Slime) being related to one of the jobs.
>Tons of humanoids because the Black Mage recruited a bunch of dudes to work as his generals
>People complain about how everybody's just a dude
>Post-Black Mage bosses are now working for the real big bad
>His generals are also all humanoids, but this time they transform into non-humans for the fight
I miss when bosses were the result of actual in-game lore like Balrog or Zakum or Pap. Just a bunch of dangerous entities locked away or hiding somewhere that you encounter.

Because it's usually never really as simple "revert code to this point in time".

1. Even if they were purely just reverting to 2006/whatever code, there's probably some system & graphics APIs and libraries that need updating because of Windows
2. Porting in *some* of the features from numaple (accessibility, more graphics options, Linux compatibility, more cheat-detection, etc) takes effort
3. Fixing bugs that old MS had
4. Their own changes (skills, new zone)
5. Their networking infrastructure has probably changed a fair bit since 2006
5. All of the above can then change their database layout, so queries have to be updated. Also networking & message packing/unpacking.

Prob a bunch of other shit too. All of that isn't a MASSIVE task, but they're also not going to be throwing a lot of devs at this either, or wanting their best devs to be spending all their time on this, so this is what you get.

26-year-old zoomer who's never played MapleStory before in my life.

I'm currently in the closed beta and honestly I'm having a blast so far all of it is super addictive. I'm already planning to put in serious hours when the game fully releases.

I tried Warrior and got it up to level 16, but it felt kinda weak and clunky. Not sure if that's normal or if I'm doing something wrong. For someone with zero experience, what are the most important things I should know about MapleStory Classic?

Also, what classes would you recommend for a total beginner? I'm looking for ones that feel strong and fun throughout the game. Any tips would be appreciated, especially if Warrior (Specifically Dark Knight or Paladin) gets better later or if I should try something else. Thanks!

>>737310849
I bought a key on the 18th, not too far after the second wave came out.
It's not like it takes more than 5 hours to get to 15 to get the cosmetics, but I mostly wanted to experience playing it with other people again like it was really 2005. The only time any game is good is the first opportunity you have to play, anything after is sloppified with minmaxing datamining and other shit. The unbridled stupidity of the audience is what makes things fun. It was worth possibly losing $150, though I didn't even need to in the end.
>>
>>737310692
Warriors are weak and clunky until 3rd job.
Their whole thing is having (relatively) high survivability while acting as a support until then. They can still do some good damage, but they're slow and lack range and despite their defenses, can still die in four to five hits compared to everyone else dying in two to three.
They're basically magikarps since they become insane later but that later is impossible in Maplestory Classic currently since it only goes up to 2nd job.
>>
>>737308163
They have billions of dollars so this is trivial

Private server owners have done so much more with literally no cash

>>737310692
Expect to be paying for a player store(leave character logged in afk with this) or remote shop(open and leave this shop while you can play around). Pet with all the upgrades will be more or less the hidden subscription fee and is also required. AP/SP resets will also cost real money so it is good to keep up with information on and during launch. That goes for a lot of things and is easier to say when we actually have the game out and playable. Untill then everything is just based on experiences from how it used to be or how private servers showcased the flow of the game and theorizing what Nexon could do.

It's hard to say from this closed test information alone and without having any knowledge of what happens in the future and 3rd job and 4th job changes/balance. I'd say warriors are a pretty safe pick regardless and they kind of come alive in 3rd and 4th job and just stay as a comfortable, yet slow class. I feel warrior is a pretty good beginner class just because it kind of just works, especially much later on when looking into the future and having played a character for like 500h.
All of these could change of course, but I believe warrior with their safe HP pool and solid progress in general even if slow is just a good pick even when going to the unknown of future updates.

it's maple idle, an idle game where you still have to pay money to roll potential so it's incredibly fucking expensive.
Also the focus of a recent lawsuit (another one) because some potential groupings were impossible to get with one another, and that wasn't communicated anywhere so some KR whales spent like $15,000 trying to get perfect equips and physically could not.

Maplestory Idle RPG is incredibly schizophrenic, all the areas and mobs are from old maple and it has the og 4 explorers only but they all have their modern skills up to 4th job, the modern scrolling/starforce upgrade systems and also numbers go insanely high way higher than the real game.

I personally just find it to be dissapointing as bow whacking is a disadvantage, but where is the advantage. Having longer range isn't necessarily a big deal in a lot of situations unless it allows you to snipe from safe spots which is alright. Currently I just think what is the reason to have bow whacking deal low damage and needing to max it and even then it's 4 monsters max. Assassins smooth by with jumping around and due to claws being faster aswell it makes claw punching not really an issue unless in absolutely packed tight maps. Mages can just attack at any range on top of also having mobility similar to assassin. So the requirement to deal with bow whack just seems dissapointing.

>>
>>737314782
Warriors look really generic but not much to work with for their archetype so I'll barely give em a pass.
Mages are fantastic, probably the consistently best ones of the bunch.
Archers are great but Pathfinder just fucking sticks out like a sore thumb.
Thieves I think are great, though I think Shadower is a bit too generic.
Pirates are fantastic although Cannoneers hair is pink instead of white for some reason.
>>737316921
Bow whacking should probably just be removed entirely, it's not fun to deal with and if archers have to remain stationary to shoot then they're already disadvantaged by default unlike sins which is fine.
>>
>>737317181
This is retarded to ask but LHC is Lion Heart Castle right?
>>
>>737316921
I think bow whacking is fine in the context of being able to move enemies away from you. Now of course being able to physically move away is better but if there were more uses to knocking back enemies, I think it'd be a fine quirk and weakness to bowmen.

Like imagine a small room where you can't tele or jump away so you are forced to take damage, but bowmen are able to swat the enemies away a safe distance to attack them
>>
who /mapleclassic/ here
>>
>>737315226
idk if bandits are broken like assassin

assassin however is so much better than archer it doesn't make sense
why do they get the ability to jumpshoot (aka move while attacking, and better vertical range) but also do more damage on top of that

like what is the solution here, the only one that would make sense without making anyone too mad is buffing archer dmg a fuckton
>>
>>737317335
Yeah. That era of people party grinding at LHC was super comfy. What made it great wasn't just that it was a group of 6 random fucknuts killing random mobs around a large map completely ignorant of each other, but because the mobs had such high HP you were better off taking on a single monster with multiple people at a time.
Also I know people are super nostalgic about pre-bb being slow as fuck, but most people never actually got to 3rd/4th job back in the day until after big bang. Meanwhile everyone here is talking about class balance with 4th job in mind as if most of these fucks are even going to hit level 120
>>
>>737317335
yes
>>
>>737317272
I'll play archer regardless and I don't mind if bow whack is in. I just do not understand the idea behind it as both assassin and all mages just play the ranged playstyle, but like better. Even with safe snipe spots I feel it's a niche thing at best and competing to find an empty snipe map isn't exactly going to be easy or fun either. Just from watching a ton of footage from the closed test shows that the range advantage on archers isn't just worth it or that important at all. Assassins and mages can close the gap easily and fast without an issue anyways so it just falls back to sniping spots being the only thing that would matter.
If they want to keep bow whack I'd say they really need to look at power knockback again in terms of speed/damage/max ammount of monsters knockbacked or come up with something to make the gameplay actually feel more smooth. Currently it just looks like a clunky thing that you need to do while thinking if I played assassin or mage I wouldn't have to bother with this at all.
>>737317406
I do think if knockback just worked better and was inserted into the rhythm better it would be, well better. I can immediately imagine different situations where you don't knockback all the enemies or one of them is behind you and you have to do another power knockback and hope the slow added on the enemies is enough to kill them fast enough to not have to power knockback again. I don't think archers are unplayable or anything, but it's already showing in terms of how many archers there are playing. It is not going to work if they launch it in a similar state and archers will end up being barely played unless future buffs/changes would make it worth dealing with this.

It's not. Obviously you aren't an Archer main and know little about archers. Even if when you jump shoot the shot is from the point in which you were first on the ground, it still allows you to shoot and cover ground. This is useful in all of Levels 10~79. When it comes to higher level areas you can use jump shot to jump over projectiles that Death Teddies or Vikings shot as well. None the less there are points in which you want to jump shoot and AE/AR and go from one point to the other to aggro a whole platform.

Was jump shooting harder to do as an Archer? Yes. Were the applications niche? You're a non-player thinking that having range and constantly being mobile is just a niche case when it's a lot more powerful to increase kill speed or general getting around the map.

Swap warriors and archers. Warriors got a ton of cool toys and most of their "suffering" is just normal 2nd job meta leaving melee classes more or less in the dust. Archers on the other hand actually feel bad to play, they have like no downward angle on their arrows so they can't even hit shit that sins and mages can.
