>>749069307Only betatestGAWDS can post in this thread I'm afraid, you will be checked at the door for your rings
Did anybody test the controller in the CBT?
>Early Access launches Tuesday, October 6, 2026 at 11:00 AM PDT (2:00 PM EDT / 8:00 PM CEST / 4:00 AM AEST October 7https://www.nexon.com/maplestory/news/general/45621/founder-s-access-release-notesI'm so friggin ready bwos
>>749069440>buys your cheap rings for $5Now what?
>>749069468
>>749069443i did for a bit, it was alright. functional but questionable and weirdly limited button mapping options. if you have a pet with auto loot and pot then it's probably fine to grind with since you only need to press like 4 buttons for hours at a time
>>749069443>>749069558Get a controller like this and let your pinkies share the button load. It's a bit pricey but your thumbs are worth more.
updatesu wirr be verry srow hehe we busy raping- i-i mean deveroping your stoopid peter pan syndrome mushroom cricker hahaha u stoopid americans are rearry deveropmentarry stunted ahahaha in chyna we have saying for this: 左宗棠雞春捲
KURWA*BANG*KURWAAAAAAAAA*BANG BANG BANG*KURWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>749069961many are saying this
is the meta going to always be partying with others?how much worse exp is it to just grind solo?forcing the most fundamental aspect of your game to be constantly with others is going to kill this game if anything, people just wanna grind and chill without having to be focused on the screen the entire time so you dont leech like a jew
>>749069440You're paying the same price as GTA 6 for a 20 year old free game
>>749070187i don't have brown skin so i'm not interested in gta6
>outing yourself as a somalian that still plays a console in 2k26
>>749070298>they can't breathe
>>749070187I have never played a GTA game and I'm not planning on starting with 6 of all things
>>749070298Ole Oskar really does look like your typical Aussie houso/bogan
>>749070185>having to be focused on the screen the entire time so you dont leechi doubt anyone is going to scream at you if you're not obsessively micro optimizing while you grind. it's really not your problem and you shouldn't care about it that much, IMO
>>749070545i don't think you understand anon, most gaymers are just as socially autistic as me and being forced to pt for best exp rates will mean constantly feeling like you have to be locked in, for longer hours. in chronostory for instance this was exactly the case, some people blacklisted you from pt's if you were leeching or if you left the pt without finding a replacement.I dont think anyone has realized just how big of a problem this can be varying on how nexon moves forward.
>>749070821Chronostory also had like 200 players max
>>749070821classic is designed for dadgamers, not autists that do shit like this
Will Haunted House be in since it's Halloween season? I wanna collect some damn candy to turn in for goodies.
>>749070850simply untrue, peak during new updates always hovered around 600>>749070924what percentage of the pserf playerbase actually does shit like that? 0.00001%? so why bring it up? oh it's because you want to be a disingenuous faggot, got it.
>hold on a sec i gotta go change my kids diaper>afk's for 20 minutes>haha back sorry about that bro oh shit my wife is being a bitch i gotta go rape her>afk's another 20 minutesahh, classic
>>749071258reminds me of the ludi PQ days where I screwed my party over cause my mom forced me to go eat dinner so I was afk for at least 10 minutes, surprised i wasn't even defamed or people rage quitting
>>749071341based mom raping your entire lpq team
>>749070821Don't worry, I already have a list of names from the betas, you're probably already blacklisted on the discord.
>coming back to play the same grindy p2w korean MMO I've been playing for 20 years
>>749066746Keep coping pserf NIGGERClassic exists because of MSW, which has hundreds of thousands of players, unlike your dead pserfer with the same 100 paypigs barely keeping your tranny serfer afloat
Tempted to try playing again but then I remembered PQs and jump quests exist.
>>749071619>PQsthey might as well not exist
>>749070821you couldn't be any more obvious that youre a zoomer, this is a millennial game for 30+ yo guys with expendable income and no kids, maybe their wives will play too but this isnt for you young nigga anxious types.
I remembered back then I actually did have a maple gf, it was nice, I felt loved even if I never knew my maple gf IRL.
>flying out the women in your whispers begging for a carryFeels good to be an adult
>>749071587dangerously based
>>749071619KPQ got nerfed into the ground, it's only good for squishy shoes now, which aren't even that good given they're only a +2 for most classes and you get +3 shoes for everyone at 30.
KPQ got nerfed into the ground but the bonus stage is one of the best training spots in the game for its level range
>>749071752MSW servers all failed and barely float above 200 online. Pservers still reign supreme. Classic will fail as well. No one wants pay2win shit in their games.
>muh 200(You) keep talking about shit (You) know nothing about. Even upon being corrected (You) go on spouting the same nonsense like a jew. Artale Asia has thousands of active players, as does ChronoStory, alongside the other worlds. Roughly 10k active players give or take 1-2k.What does it feel like getting raped this hard by a straight White male zakGAWD
>>749069961billions of cabbages must die
im getting addicted to AI modding. maybe I should make the official /v/lassic server?
>>749071927Didn’t nexon say they’re gonna start shutdown pservers?
>>749072082They all failed in the west for a reason. No one wants pay2win shit in their games.
idk but im also addicted to 2d femboys
>>749072289If they can shutdown royals I'll believe it.
>Shifting the goalposts >They all failed in teh West even though they have triple the active playerbase of the most popular pserfers
Do I need to download anything aside from the Nexon Launcher ahead of time? I'm assuming I'll have to install Classic World once that's released globally.
I don't get it.
>>749072627Do you play Modern Maplestory?>If yes, download on Steam>If no, download the Nexon launcher and wait
Refunded my zakpak. Zakgawds lost.
What's considered "win" in a game where all you do is mindlessly grind?
>>749072664Kek I do not, thanks brah.
>>749072783scrolling 15 ATT work gloves
>>749072783being stronger than the dork who is hitting on your maple gf
>>749072783Just set your own goals. Most people aim for being able to clear top content while others aim for being able to do PQs or other social content.
>>749069307I'm a zoomer, is this worth playing at all? I didn't bother playing the beta test either and from what I've heard it just P2W slop. For context though, I like Ragnarok Online and also liked MapleStory 2 so it's not as if I'm a stranger to Korean MMOs.
>>749069307Can't wait for more sexy hebes in classic, maybe the housing system will let us set NPCs in the estate
>>749071619>doesn't like PQs and JQsWhy are there soulless retards in a Classic Maple thread?
>>749072783Same as osrs, whatever goal you set.
>>749073000>>749073212Hope we get apq and my goal will be to get 1k onyx apples just to clog up my storage.Or flex them in my house if we get display cases
>>749073051yeah, it's kino. just wait until oct 21st and try it out, I wouldn't buy early access unless you already have genuine interest
>>749073276I want apq solely because I always found it fun to do
>>749072783by ks'ing johnathon cawk and dinegrofries
>>749073051It's not really p2w at all (yet) other than the early access period being way too long. Cash shop items are mostly convenience or minmax autism with skill point resets (eg you invest into attack skills 1st job then pay to respec into passives later when those 1st job attack skills become useless). They'll probably rape it with p2w eventually, it's a kmmo. It's slow and grindy but the artstyle and music are good and nostalgic for people who grew up with it, and most community events while charming are usually just pretty janky platforming minigames.
How good is I/L wizards, my original class pick
OPQ is still my favorite PQ
>>749073403Top 3 performance and popularity based on CBT2 info
>>749073403assuming no changes from the beta, it'll probably be the best mage option, good aoe and single target
archer job instructors are the cutest
>>749073403still the best 2nd job (which is all the game will launch with), still ultra popular, i can't imagine an argument against rolling I/L as a first char to gigafarm and fund your actual main later other than just not wanting to do it
>>749073403They're extremely strong right now, might get a third job nerf to encourage priest instead.Thunder spear in COT2 was my favorite skill to use in the game, hitting 2 targets now makes it feel great and worth the windup. If they get a ST skill in 4th job it'll be a bossing monster, if they get another 6 target mobbing skill they'll be a grinding monster.
>>749073506why is Athena an elf?
Why don't they just reboot MapleStory 2
>>749073554That's what this is. The same failed design philosophy of 2, applied to classic. Expect dailies, weekly limits on shit, all designed so that henehoes don't feel left behind even though they still need to grind up to 70 anyway which they won't do.
>>749073523i thought there was already enough reasons to play priesti'm just gonna play it because i like healing
when will cubes be in?
>>749073734they nerfed the fuck out of heal, to the point where it's garbage for trainingand when they previewed 3rd job for a bit, holy symbol was utterly gutted, being completely useless
In true oldfag style I will quest to level 30, unlock 2nd job then quit
>>749073734Door is basically the only thing they might have left. Heal sucks, HS is dead so nobody will party with you for it.I think priests are going to still have utility, but most people will probably prefer running another damage dealer for grinding efficiency. The old 2 man style is dead, the new style is 6 men to a map and everyone clearing their own ledge, which isn't even conducive to heal anymore given the range. What they probably should've done is made heal a map wide thing for other players, that would massively increase the value of priest in the new party formula, given nobody would need HP pots.
>>749073865absolutely based
>>749073786Holy Symbol should not provide EXP.It can still be really good but nothing should give EXP boosts in the game anymore.
>>749074136the problem is how do you make it provide value enough for players to want to party with priests without it encroaching on other buff's niches, thats the hard part
So is there no limit for KPQ now? The patch notes only say level 21+, and I heard people were getting in at level 31 in the beta.
Is there still player exp loss on deathI still remember it’s bullshit when mobs don’t get knocked back and they run you down
>>749073403indisputably the best class in the game if you're a metafag
>>749074179Turn it into a buff refresher. Dude drinks half a dozen 10 minute potions, priest hits him with the refresh every 5 minutes, 1 potion lasts 5 hours. It gets pretty exploitable if you add stupid items later so a guy is stacking 50 attack buffs and a priest is just keeping them all active for him every 30 seconds, but as long as you just don't do that, it works fine.
>>749073786The funniest thing is they gave both Priest and Hermit similar auto-revive skills, but the Hermit one is just way better for some reason. I don't even know why Hermit has one to begin with.
>>749074179Just make it a buff and debuff skill: Buff yourself and allies with holy element and debuff any enemeis in range to be weak to holy.
>>749074268I assume it's to compensate from how hard they got shafted with the removal of alchemist and meso up, but it's really funny that the priest one still has you lose XP when hermit already has a 50% XP loss reduction.>>749074249Yes. Also mobs get knocked back less now so they're a lot more deadly early game when you don't have booster to keep them stunlocked.
>>749073541why not?
HP Washing.
None of this gay shit matters because I'm playing spear DK
unequivocal definitive class list coming through
>>749074437gone in classic.this is a good thing.
>>749074437Is no longer in the game. Same with dexless cancer. Lukless mages are still slightly a thing, though.
>>749069307hello aoba nozomi and hikari
>>749074462As someone who played Maplestory back in the day and played some private servers a few years back, I can't tell which mage is which and which swordwielder is which.
>>749074562omg, nozomi...!
>>749074672
>>749070185It sounds like solo exp will be extremely inconsistent because we are now up against a playerbase that tryhards more often and will be competing against 4-6 player parties
>>749074815the first few weeks/months are going to be utter hell, everywhere will be full as fuck
>>749073786not only that, shining ray had a fucking cd and they fucked the movement of it also priests did the lowest damage out of everything.there is no argument that can be made to rationalize playing priest in its current statedo you really wish to gamble with hundreds of hours of your time only for nexon to keep the class eternally raped?
>>749074854Only if you're slow. If you're the first guy to every new area then the maps will be basically free.
Should I try this game? I played this once upon a time, and found it interesting, being a sidescroller mmo, but never got into it. I'm an ojiisan now, and I have a bit of free time with me. All I can recall is sitting down a lot to regen hp/mp
>>749075354>putting an imaginary stress timer on a grinding game that basically won't be getting updatedhaha
>>749075554Its free on 21st so just try it for a few days then?Unless you have something better to do
>>749075554Sure, you'll probably have fun revisiting it for a couple of days, and it's free in a couple of weeks.
>>749075554It's not launching proper until the 21st if you just want to try it out f2p. Otherwise yeah sure give it a shot, if you didn't get super into it then you might be in the sweet spot where you remember some of the music and stuff but don't feel attached to balance or design (a lot of which is being changed since this is a classic+ sort of deal). It's pretty much as grindy as it used to be so casual play will be very slow progression.
>>749074726Shupos sex (Maplestory)
>>749075745>>749075771>>749075784Aite, thanks. Will play it on the 21st then. I'll be honest I can't remember anything about this game, just bits and pieces like overly crowded markets, change channel crap. I did enjoy exploring the world though, so there's that.
>>749076089Depending on when you played you might want to wait a while for updates, the game is only launching with victoria island. If you remember taking a boat to get somewhere, that's later content.
Think of the optics of having blue archive characters as your pets
i would rape my vac pets
>>749071258
What's the culture going to be like? I hope people aren't just going to be keeping to their pre-made discord groups, it'd be neat if you could just go to the nearest map for your level and maybe channel hop a few times until you can find a chill party to join and just kill mobs and leave whenever it's convenient for you.
>>749077717I will not speak a single line of dialog in this game's entire lifespan
>>749071825Isn't there a chance they make some adjustments to the balancing after the last beta to make KPQ better? Or did they say that after the last beta, they don't plan on making any significant changes from that?
I'm in love with Nemi.
>>749077717think of an amalgamation of msw and every pserfer.a lot of zoomzooms all hours, dadgamers hop on after work hours.buncha trannycord cliques and pedo's smega'ing each other like how twitterfags would subtweet people.zoomzooms will be gone after early access to play fortnite season 1488 and the reddit dad gaymurs will head to wow trannies forever and that's all she wrote
Give me Henesys PQ and LPQ and I'm happi
>>749078297god i wish i was nemi's son
>>749072783Getting a maple gf.
>>749079363but then your father would have to be some minecraft gook pig and you'd carry his faggot dna through your veins while nemi milks your shota cock.the better scenario is if nemi grooms you via giving you free nx which leads to inevitably being kidnapped and tossed into her shota rape dungeon for all eternity
>>749077717That's how the closed tests were like at least. I doubt it'll stay like that, when I played the tests I kept thinking "this is probably the best the game will ever be".
>>749077717>discord cliques>political/tranny smega mental illness>paypiggy vs poorfag flaming>chink/moonrune flooding>basically solostory because of how quiet it is>actually what you wantFucked around on OSMS on MSW when it had its release and it gives me some hope that it won't be completely dogshit from the time I spent on there.
I played OSMS and immediately uninstalled after jumping once because it made me feel like throwing up
So the Founder's Items can only be used on 1 character ever? That's retarded and makes me not even want to bother.
>>749071619>jump questsSOVL
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE I START?Is there any good sites or resources with all the new info?I haven't played since 2006 and don't remember a fucking thing!
>>749080945Its a guy no matter how rapeable they present themselves to be
>a bloo bloo bloo sixty dollars>please help me some random autist will be higher level than me forever!!!1Lmao! Anyways, what are you fellow Mapleadults thinking for your fashion choices? That IS what Classic was born for, after all.
>>749080858You can trade them between characters via the cash shop but you can only have each item equipped on one character at a time since you only get one copy of each item.
>>749080945Choose the class you find the coolest and be kind to your fellow Maplers. If you break either of these rules you are lost
>>749081082Depends how much stuff is in the shop at launch, but some subset of whatever I manage to pull from the Frieren boxes at the start.Then later on when we get more optionsEdgy on my bowman(m)Casualwear on my hero(m)Hebe jailbait on my bishop(f)
>>749069307>no piratesdropped.

>reveal classic one year in advance>initial massive hype due to MMO drought>get people losing interest on it>THEN release the game right when the drought is ending, now having to compete with a ton of other MMOs>launch with only one continent This is not even going into the microtransaction messHow the fuck did nexon bungle the release so badly

Jelly poorfags? ;))) I'm not a poorfag so I bought zakum edition ;))
>”At Grand Launch, players will also see another completely new piece of content.” — InkwellThe “other pieces of content” being Forgotten Hollow and the Citizenship boards? One of which isn’t even included in Grand Launch? Any theories as to what he could be on about?
>>749081214And it shares the main server's client, so it's a 70 gb download to play on that singular continent.
Please what time it launches in GMT? How many hours left
>>749081575I'm buying the richfag edition too. Just because what if I'm still playing this in 13 years like I am with OSRS. I want the day 1 cosmetic.Shame I don't have the beta stuff though :(
I hate the founders pack for devaluing prior chase itemsFrozen tuna, sauna, bamboo hat? Everyone already got the cool aesthetics already. Kinda lame since a good part of leveling up was seeing the clothes change on your character
>>749081692only on steam
>>7490817596pm so about 33 hours
>>749081389egirl to summon 5 parties from your guild
>>749081894If I'm white aryan trying to save the White race against degeneracy is maplestory classic for me?
>>749082192Yes.
Why does fatty ricardo keep trying to push a general on /v/? Just make a classic general on /vg/ at this point.
>>749082483Because it makes you seethe.
>>749069307Just one more day to go! Still need to hit the store to prepare for launch day/week.>>749081657It could be more about Forgotten Hollows and the boss they've teased us about. Maybe even a PQ in there? It would line up that Forgotten Hollow was taken out for that purpose so they can drop it, with this new piece of content in it on grand launch. Which also suits some of the founders players who would be ready for it after playing for couple of weeks to be appropriate level range in the 40s or 50s.That or it's something else entirely, what a mystery!
>>749081657idk but I have a funny feeling that it'll definitely involve rape
>>749082864don't give the schizo any (You)s until he actually comes up with creative schizoposts
>>749083121True
>>749083121Why are you replying to yourself, fatty? At least use the same phrasing as the filter list.
The singular schizo tranny is having an all-time melty LMFAOOOOOOO
>>749071258classic wow was literally like this is every single fucking dungeon and raid
>40+ years old>the creature is literally over 40>it's STILL spamming the same shit on 4chan>still PRAYING ppl will play with him
>>749083012Wouldn’t it have been datamined if forgotten hollow would have had a PQ?
>>7490832672bh i would genuinely rather be dead than have his life.
>>749083484I would imagine it was simply not in the closed test clients. Overall it looks like a boss that fits the Forgotten Hollow theme so most are guessing either PQ or just a Boss. I'd prefer a PQ or a PQ oriented boss, but have to wait and see.Mayhaps tomorrow with datamines there will be files related to this? That or they really are holding them for the grand launch patch. Tomorrow will tell quite a bit and the datamines are going to be interesting to go through while waiting for the servers to go up.
>>749083831Hollow already has the weird corrupted mushmom thing as the area boss right so hopefully its a PQ, though a straight up mid-level boss for pre-zak content would be fine as well.Going to be aids carrying 500 all-cures though, hope it doesn't inflict status
>>749069307greetingsI don't play Maplestory but I am just here to say that I'd rail the fuck out of the Shupos and Aoba. (I don't play Blue Archive either)thank you
>>749084009
>>749083905It does have the corrupted mushroom area boss, yup. I'd love a new PQ and it would be in a nice level range aswell. There is LPQ of course, but that is coming later and who knows. PQs not having a level cap anymore is also a welcome change and I believe they are keeping them unlocked so you can still do them with lower level friends or just for fun if you want. It's nice for people who keep playing and obviously out level these to have the option to still do them even if high level.There is also the Manji questline and Balrog that could end up being a "high" level boss before Zakum. Quite a bit of options and speculations from what've seen so far. I don't really mind the all cures, but some simple mechanics in bosses would be a bit more interesting. Which is also why I think PQ styled bosses would be cool!>>749084009Based art enjoyer. Blue Archive does have a massive following when it comes to art so it isn't suprising you'd see a ton of it even if not playing the game.

How many hours left? It starts in 11 hours is it 00:01 at midnight today?
I’ve never played maplestory except 2 and i’m on the fence about buying a pack or notIs this worth it? Will the game become pay to win? Is it true you need to pay for basic shit like respecs?
>>7490851911 day 7 hrs 20 min
>>749085353It's NexonThis should answer all of your questions
>>749085353If you've never played it, probably not. It's a very simple game where you just grind forever. >>Will the game become pay to win? The lead dev claims it won't be, just "pay for convenience" but we all know that's bullshit.>Is it true you need to pay for basic shit like respecs?Yeah, just build your character better. Prices used to be terrible, they might be better now. If it's like 5 bucks it's worth using a crappy build to level faster early and then switch to a better build later on. If it's 2 bucks a point, not so much.
How can someone who is 45 years old behave like such an embarrassing manchild 20 hours a day?
>>749085001In the minds of many maplers are the cosmetics, true! Fashionstory is the real endgame for all games and especially mmos.>>749085191If you bought founders access:Tuesday, October 6, 2026 at 11:00 AM PDT (2:00 PM EDT / 8:00 PM CEST / 4:00 AM AEST October 7)If you did not buy founders, you'll have to wait for the grand launch:Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at 11:00 AM PDT (2:00 PM EDT / 8:00 PM CEST / 4:00 AM AEST October 22)So ~31 hours left untill the servers go live for founders and 16 days and 7h for f2p grand launch.>>749085353The value is mainly if you want to play or not. The packs themselves if you don't like the cosmetics are not that good value at all.Depends what you think p2w is. The game is already p2w, was always going to be and will be in my eyes. It's just the unfortunate effect of being stuck with Nexon. Expect greed going onwards aswell if you aren't up to date just how bad Nexon is and what they do with their games. It's the unfortunate effect of having this game stuck with them.You do need to pay for basic things like shop(s), pet(s) and their skills and respecs aswell, yes. If tradeable NX exists as said by the lead dev, it can shift this so you can buy these from other players with meso instead of spending money. Have to see once we actually get the game out.
>>749085353>Never played beforeDon't get founders, period. Just wait out the first 2 weeks to see if you actually think you're gonna play this game seriously.
>>749085521Who? Madwolf?
