inven usually, but its not gospel for us because of attack speed but charts are never gospel anyways
always take em with a grain of salt, here's a inven chart I saw
wild hunter doin alright
>>
>>543397037
>all of my 260s are in the lowest tier
what in the fuck
when did night walker slip so far?
>>
>>543397389
night walkers have been pretty eh in kms for awhile but it got worse when they capped the shadow spear procs in the balance patch, that's one of the reasons its very good here, the attack speed difference on shadow spear procs, but yeah if its capped its gonna be a sizeable nw nerf here, quint's fine though
I have one as a legion champ and im debating if I like the kit enough to continue with it or if I should maybe consider like hoyoung or khali or something and move its gear over/ give my good main gear to it when I swap to pitched
I dunno front dash and back dash and all the stuff it has is pretty decent kit wise, dunno if I do care enough about the dmg being less godly
sitting around waiting for ascents to make the bm mission p1 free on my night walker basically, its min cut for hseren mission (i cant play that well on nw)

I saw a lara do ckalos mission at 103k hexa, so I think shes generally nice to play, and that's a solid hexa score to do ckalos at
>>543398283
lynn and mo xuan aren't in korean maple story, therefore they are not in korean maple story charts
lynn is top dog, dunno enough about mo xuan
gms charts are like whatever, shits wack

a different server, this is kms not gms
they're both top tier though

Inkwell will fix heroic trust the plan
>>
>>543418383
The craziest part of all of the go west stuff is that, even though they fucking REMOVED jett and most other gms-exclusive content, that somehow people think they'll keep heroic going. It's doomed. It will go away someday. This isn't a "maybe" it's just an objective fact. When it's too much work to keep maintained, it goes away.
I'd wager after KMS finishes the retooling of all the progression systems, they say "Well interactive is now BASICALLY the same, so we're making all heroic worlds interactive!" and stuff in the meso limit.
>>
blud learned everything about this game from reddit
blud does not even know what he's saying
lol
>>
>>543419742
no I've been playing gms since 2007, and jms/sea before that. Kinda hard to be so blatantly retarded as to ignore how the game has been handled.
I mean shit, don't have to look too far, look at sia, and how they handled it. It's broken, buggy to fuck, and was literally the source of a major dupe.
The laziness of GMS had another dupe when reboot launched too where you could literally just buy 99 black cubes and overflow into GETTING max meso.
>>
the past is irrelevant reboot isn't allowed to die so it will simply live it's that easy mate.
>>
what is reboot?
>>
>>543421157
>the past is irrelevant
Just like "We promise not to remove jett" and 2 months later getting jett removal notice, or fury totems getting the same treatment, right?
The past is indicative of their treatment of their product. This go west split is literally just a ticking timebomb for the reconvergence.
>>
>>543414650
turns out they started removing chanpops on the korean platform kaokao
>>
>>543421445
Heroic is still where the majority of the population gather, they can't really normalize it ...
Never mind the fact that they forgot to put the droplets in the shop this event, and we literally have nothing to buy
>>
>>543422824
>they can't really normalize it
almost like they did PRECISELY that in kms, where reboot had just eclipsed the most popular non-reboot world, which made them slam the panic "shut it the fuck down" button.

difference is the majority is already on rebooty by this point instead of just starting to even out. the point where you can panic and shut it down has been passed already, the genie is out of the bottle they have to make it work now which is why they're (hopefully see you this week) implementing changes designed with later game booty problems in mind
either way though idrc erel looks cool when is he dropping
>>
>>543424726
or they can just force it. Like KMS did.
Or how they did with the removal of kishin spawnboost
or fury totems
You're expecting way too much due diligence from nexon in this.
>>
Inkwell would never
>>
they can't though. it doesn't even make sense to do so if they could
>>
>>543426363
I think if they want to normalize gms they have to do it very very slowly to the point that reg is just much more enticing, if they rip of the band-aid like kms gms would die right there and then
>>
>>543431521
Yeah just like how it would immediately die if they removed totems
or removed classes
or removed pottable badges
>>
>>543431793
oh god nebulites too, can't forget all the gigawhales that spent all that money on rerolling their nebs, and how the game died as SOON as they got rid of them.
Man, what a disaster.
>>
>>543431793
They tried neglected reboot as much as they neglected exclusive content, but it never died, gms just prefers the reboot way of progressing, and they know it, that's why they have not killed it yet and will bring massive QoL changes
we're talking about a whole ass server with a different way to play, not just some game mechanic

did hero REALLY get put in the dumpster in 1 patch
>>
>>543437150
none of the balance patches were that good for hero, its like -10 fd total in kms roughly I think? compared to paladin which got around a +8 fd buff it isn't indicative of hero here cus of attack speed diff, might not be as bad, idk check class discord for more info but the strongest hero in kms godling did job change to paladin

paladin benefits from attack speed too though so you'd still have to be a little retarded to pick hero
>>
>>543432634
they neglected it because KMS neglected it.
In case you've missed it, there have been serious, gamebreaking bugs every single time we patch after go west. Usually requiring 2-3 unscheduled maintenance first week, usually to contain a severe, gamebreaking bug.
Again, this isn't even something up for debate, when it's not worthwhile to maintain, they will axe it, because KMS doesn't have it, and ultimately, GMS will always follow KMS, at least for mainplestory. When classic comes, maybe it fucking merks mainline maple, then GMS can do their own thing. Until then though, we're beholden to KMS.
>>
oh no hero is still the worst performing explorer warrior and by a noticeable margin
i meant overall it still runs slightly below average

I need MS classic already now not in april

Almost 100% chance they do an open test in late nov or early dec. How much is in it, we won't know but it'll probably be something like the demo at maplecon.

I think people are taking endgame FD too lightly. To go from a fake 3L to a double prime is double billions of cubing every time and only a +0.45FD gain. Imagine someone who spent years finally rolling all their 16 gear pieces to get +4FD total. And the balance patch just does a -8FD nerf. That's entire 2-3 years of someone's life wasted down the drain

whale x metafag?
that's retard squared
>>
>>543455737
yeah I do agree endgame FD is no joke, like destiny weapon for most classes is around 4fd(?)
might be diff here because we won't get a potential upgrade except boss damage I think to 50%, but everybody has attack % anyways
small fd changes right now are making or breaking ckalos destiny solo/ soloing ckalos weekly but more importantly kaling destiny mission, for most classes hkaling destiny mission is do-able around 117k hexa, the recommended spec for extreme adversary is 120k hexa, this means it is technically "post" destiny lib
its not unusual for nexon to do the its very hard to reach this and make it a lil easier every major patch but it still feels pretty damn shitty
>>
>>543456276
no your class is weak because it's weak and you functionally lost like 4T spent of damage and investment and can't do [content] anymore of course people are going to be upset about that dummy
if you weren't at least sad about that i'd call you a weirdo imagine doing cutting edge prog with the literal best gear possible and nexon just tells you to go fuck yourself on a thursday afternoon and tells you everything now has no value and the thing you were chasing is just simply unobtainable for you, sorry

You're just another retarded regger coping that "reboot will die one day, and everyone will come back to reg and buy all my overpriced shit that I've been hoarding for the last decade"

>>
>>543431521
>I think if they want to normalize gms they have to do it very very slowly to the point that reg is just much more enticing

"if they make reboot so dogshit to play people will want to play reg instead"

Complete bullshit, there is no "fixing" reg for 99% of the players in reboot, there is no making reg more enticing for us, it is not a viable strategy at all, people would just quit.

How are you going to make a piece of dogshit more appealing to people, you can polish it all you want, spray paint it gold, mix some sugar in, put some sprinkles on it but at the end of the day it is and always will be a piece of dogshit.

Do you think if you removed every kind of delicious food in the world that would make people want to eat the dogshit?
No, they'd just starve to death or eat something else that isn't dogshit.

There is no reboot to reg pipeline, it doesn't exist, it will never exist, everyone quit that shit decades ago and only came back purely for reboot, if they fuck up reboot then their is only the reboot to touching grass and saving money pipeline.
>>
>>543435320
>nobody actually likes no trading

I love no trading, it's the best part of reboot, anyone that thinks trading or economies in mmos is a good idea in 2025 is a fucking retard and has obviously never had to deal will all the mmos today being bot infested, rmt infested, 3rd world rice farmer infested shitshows where everyone just swipes their credit card to skip 99% of the game, the auction house is filled with no life losers who sit at the ah refreshing all day long to snipe the best deals and price gouge the markets, divorced handless gamer dads spending their entire paycheck on black markets just so they can feel superior to everyone in a 20 year old mmo, we need MORE no trade mmos, you sheltered maple retards that have played reboot for the last decade and nothing else who think trading sounds like just a neat wholesome fun way to play the game are so fucking clueless to just how fucking awful economy based mmos are today, the botting industry is 1000x times bigger than it was back in 2004, it's industrial now, it's a billion dollar industry, unless you enjoy being a filthy cheater who buys all their shit from bots economy based mmos are terrible.
>>
maybe if you're a fag who spends all your time comparing yourself to others instead of just trading when it benefits you and ignoring it the rest of the time
reboot is already topped by bots and service buyers since they can't be bothered to grind

Trading in maple is so fucking retarded like bro what do you even have to trade in this dogshit ass game that has maybe 10 good items in it lmao.

This isnt wow or osms where there are thousands of unique flavor items, consumables, gadgets, materials etc, you're not stopping off at the ah in maple every few levels to see what cool new gear u can buy now, the only thing in the market worth anything to me as a reboot player is eternals and pitched, everything else is irrelevant.

"but think of the cras and think of the gollux it's so convenient since im an nlomien warlord bla bla bla"
Brother, If I need cras or gollux on reboot I just get a carry and it takes 10 fucking seconds and it feels good getting my own damn gear without having to buy it from some dipshit rice farmer trying to make a living running bots.

Unironically boss trading and carry runs make reboot far more interactive than the interactive server, you think interacting with bots on a soullessly market ui is "interacting", meanwhile in reboot everyone is making friends with other ppl and spending an hour chatting it up while they have fun trading boss carrys for each other.
>>
The only reason trading exists is so you can skip having to interact with the cringe upgrade systems and let someone else do it for you
>>
>>543486323
>the only reason trading exists is so you can skip having to interact with the cringe upgrade systems and let a botter* do it for you

ftfy

It's funny to me when I hear reg players think that the sf servicers are simply "playing the odds", no dumbass the odds are irrelevant to them because they are sfing with their excess botted meso for free lmao, "sf service" is just a roundabout way for botters to offload more mesos.

>>543490497
Nothing in this game is designed around GMS, stop trying to think that is the case.
Starforcing not having pity and having near unachievable rng for truly maxing it out was made literally just to scam gambling addicts out of their money. This is also why inkwell is being forced to change it for GMS cause the system was designed around the high player base and huge whales that KMS has, so having it function 1:1 in GMS makes no sense since in Interactive all it promotes is botting, while in heroic it just fucks over players for no real reason. Nexon NA does not benefit from the current starforce system at all.
>>
>>543490804
No shit anyone with 2 brain cells can see that 22 and above is whale bait, either way, an mmo that only survives because it relies on botters is not a game worth playing, remove bots and frenzy from reg and the whole house of cards collapses, majority of people over in reg cant grind, even with frenzy the average reg player is still a shangrila shitter, just got to ch1 heny and take a look around and the average level, these mofos do not grind, if reboot had fz literally everyone would be 295+ and there would be hundreds, probably thousands of level 300s.

Inkwell knows damn well what really happens over in reg in the shadows, you want to know why there is no meso wand? It's because inkwell knows you'd all just run 10 bots and cheat the entire system in reg if you could buy cubes with meso, if you think reg botting is bad now, meso wand would make the botting in reg out of control.
>>
>>543491846
I mean you literally answered your own question, interactive economy is balanced around KMS playercounts, the entire system fundamentally just doesn't work since it wasn't designed to work in this context in the first place.
Keeping frenzy around is a bandaid solution but it never fixed all the problems and introduced way more shit like botting and service.
>meso wand would make the botting in reg out of control.
But that is purely because of frenzy and GMS not taking some of the economy changes KMS had over the last few years. KMS economy currently works in a way that botting is near useless since the vast majority of meso comes from bossing crystals, epic dungeon and azmoth. Content that can't be botted (not to mention the meso cap further fucks over what botters could get)

You're just wrong, botting isnt an issue in kms because their account is tied to their social security number, you can't just spin up infinite amounts of bots with no restriction whenever you feel like it in kms like people do in gms, tying a ssn to a gaming account seems pretty drastic, but it really does completely obliterate any chance of botters ruining the game.

KMS economy is also shit, you just don't understand it's true nature, it only works because the game is part of their culture for so long and so many people play it there, but most people don't actually give a shit about being the best or getting stronger in maple, for most kms players, it's just a place to hangout online with friends and screw around, so you have ALOT of casuals who are willing to sacrifice all their prog and sell all their mesos to buy the random fashion items they want etc.

It's a pyramid scheme where the casual noobs in kms are on the bottom farming and funneling all their mesos upward to the whales, do you really think anyone could play this game on x1 meso rates and be able to afford to sf when it takes 8 hours just to grind 1 bil and your making 1 bil a week in boss crystals?

No, im kms you're either a meso buyer or a meso seller, there is very little in-between,

In a game where meso generation is this slow, there has to be winners and losers, for every strong player in kms there are 30 people who make zero gains and all their grinding goes to selling mesos to the whale, it's an absolute shit way to play the game and would never fly in gms, kms is also shit, people need to stop idolizing it, if people actually experienced it they would hate it.
>>
>>543494714
You realize they removed rings from tower of oz because of it literally being botted in KMS? Why the fuck would they introduce the meso cap WHICH THEY SPECIFICALLY SAID WAS TO TACKLE BOTS, when they supposedly don't have bots?

>It's a pyramid scheme where the casual noobs in kms are on the bottom farming and funneling all their mesos upward to the whales
You do realize that KMS has the gold coin system right? The players selling their meso to the whales come out of that transaction with MORE MESOS than they started out with. It's a system designed to benefit both the whales and the regular players. KMS players simply have significantly easier access to both mesos and maple points than GMS players have, and all that without having to grind like a bot using frenzy, purely because they have an actual functional economy.

>>543495442
Just because some bots exist doesn't mean it's on the same industrial scale that exists in gms, yes, some bots do exist, but their servers are not infested with more bots than players, I never said kms is free from bots, it's a difference of extremes.

Tower of oz was instanced which means bots can hide much easier and farm all day unbothered because there are no players around to report them, they probably removed it due to this factor alone and to make their job bot hunting easier.

>Why the fuck would they introduce the meso cap WHICH THEY SPECIFICALLY SAID WAS TO TACKLE BOTS
lol lmao at believing everything that comes out of changslops mouth, their reasons for doing things are NEVER the real reason, or do you actually believe "we had to delete reboot because they couldnt kill limbo on release" was also the real reason reboot got deleted and not because a bunch of loser whales in kms were feeling threatened at people leaving reg for reboot and getting upset about their items losing value.

meanwhile people from pre-bb top 8 first 200s and know the whole drop table are forced to be unkown forever in pservers or pay2win slop like artale

normalfags won't.
maplestory isn't wow. Maplestory was never the #1 game on the planet that everyone everywhere heard of or played.
maplestory was moderately popular in the west, and there was actual interest in it when it came out, from a lot of different directions because people remember the nostalgia, without the bad shit.
Just like OSRS it will probably come out and take YEARS to be relevant.
>>
>>543536309
also, maplestory's MOST POPULAR pre-bb servers capped out at like 2k concurrent players, over 5 years ago now.
wasn't nostalrus above 10k? lmao, it's just not even remotely comparable. This isn't fucking wow, they cannot afford to try and drip feed content. Look at the fucking youtube videos.
>1m views within a week
>to 800k

>can't even break 500k months on now
still beating main maple but that's not really a challenge it wasn't even hitting 1k on it's videos for a LONG time.
>>
>>543536726
nost was 25k, each wow classic server was only 5k cap with 100 layers(channels) so 500 players max capacity it was something they couldn't get rid of due to nu-wow engine
nost was filled with chink bots but it was all low-key they kept to themselves and silently sold gold or spammed in whispers
classic you already had gold sellers publicly selling and people publicly asking to buy gold and boss carries it was complete slop, zoomers payed for 3 subs and were buying power leveling service with real money over paypal and it died in a year or so now they keep releasing a new "classic" server every 6 months
it's a terrible fate and hope doesn't happen to classic maple
>>
>>543542945
classic is 100% doomed to it, cleric multiboxes will balloon playercounts, 0 doubt, chinks will bot and spanish too, just like they do on interactive and reboot, it's doomed like every other solved version of a game.
>>
>>543543331
it's doomed for any fans of Pre-big bang for sure
but it will be insanely popular with the new gen of classic maplers and everyone who missed out
wow classic was 50-70 servers of 5k capped players so 250k+ online
but it wasn't for fans of vanilla wow, it's all people who missed out on vanilla wow and never played pservers

just learned about genesis pass and the clover shit a couple years ago. ontop of the mvp shit, i feel like within 5 years reboot is going to be fully p2progress. quickly losing all interest to even keep playing. the game is going to be reg server 2.0 by 2030 and redditors will still be saying "they have to monetize us SOMEHOW"
every single game i get invested in turns to shit. every single one.

clover pass was a directly p2w element introduced to reboot without even a second thought, and though people whined about it, it was still a massive success by nexon's own words and you'd be hard pressed to find a whale that didn't buy the clover pass.
That WAS designed for GMS, fuck off you disingenuous cunt. They're trying to monetize the "monetization-avoidant" server.
>>
no one fucking cares about clover pass we're talking about gene pass now why are you bringing up 3 year old shit like anyone here cares. I don't get how you could be super invested in maplestory and just learn about CW2 today where have you been the last half a year. probably not playing because you already missed the boat on a bunch of things like sauna. or even like, a vac pet. which is basically mandatory anyway cause it's all about solo grinding. it's never been free here homie.
reboot just needs to not have trading and cash cubes to function properly, the game will always be monetized if it really bothers you you can leave it's fine

it's already basically a subscription game. getting a (single) character into grandis bosses (maybe) 2 months earlier if you're already decent at the game isn't actually a problem. you aren't winning anything and it's skipping over like half decade old time gated progression. if we were skipping destiny weapon lib today (as in today not like 3 years later) or buying stats directly to unlock something that is only available with money people would probably care but it's functionally just a really really nice qol so you can fight seren in a timely manner with len. reception is positive people want more of it

Nothing wrong with spending money on things you like, but it's silly to be disingenuous and ignore the growing monetization of heroic.
>>
>>543554719
throwin my 2 cents I guess
there's no growing monetization of heroic when its mainly all copy paste from kms which has a functioning meso to maple points market of about 3k maple points to 100mil mesos (except changesop has been doing crystal nerfs and azmoth nerfs whenever the maple point market gets near 2k
the real issue is gms is fucking lazy as always, and they're trying to pretend they aren't for whatever reason, heroic isn't going to get meso market with their private server tier mesos, but something ideally should be done about all the things costing maple points, but claiming its gms greed is dumb, when its always incompetence
I don't really know what the most suitable answer to the problem is either but you should at least look at it from the correct angle
>>
stinkwell is just here to milk bootie dolphins and tell reg to stfu about frenzy and boot to stfu about badges lmao
>get nerfed
>forced to pay up
this is the cycle maplecucks can't never escape, the sunk cost has turned into straight masochistic abuse
>>
they did something about everything being purchasable with maple points, they created eos and helios
they did not create eos and helios out of spite, they knew the direction development was going and saw that the no trading worlds were creating dark patterns and decided to end the experiment
the west misinterpreted this as malice and spite instead of a long term plan for player happiness
>>
i mean stinkwell ain't doing any nerfs unless ur talkin kanna nerfs or something and generally I still think its just incompetence of them copy pasting msea shit by mistake, even the lynn awaken being 2mins instead of their gms only special of 1min,
and regarding changseop he did say during the live
"he split it into 3months to see changes and adjust
tried new things like changing attack speed
but the end result wasn't satisfactory and it made him look back at him and his teams competency"
I think they are generally just some dudes who obviously don't play the game as much as us but we're not the target demographic either, its always the general pop you cater to as a business
I don't disagree that ripping the band aid off and homogenizing is a way to do it, but they don't talk about how eos and helios maple point markets are separate, and around 1k(ish), maybe 1.5k(?) maple points per 100mil mesos, they're still getting a lesser experience, sure it was stated because making ctene mules was way easier but they just nerfed ctene mules by around 50%, I don't see them merging the meso markets, maybe they will eventually
I don't really get how nexon as a company makes money off of meso market in kms, besides having rmt being bannable (but still happens quite a bit(?) and having the maple points buyable for irl cash
none of that makes any sense in heroic but like what do you do, make it mesos instead? that's just a new meso sink for every event, give some of the rewards to heroic as the standard, give all the rewards of maple point bonuses to heroic as the standard?
I really don't know
albeit shitty rates here I do enjoy not spending a dime in reg for cash shop purchases and or event passes, I don't trust the gms team to be competent enough to try to "fix" our meso market situation either, but also im just some free loader to nexon so they dont care about me I dont spend kek

Here's my projected MSC release schedule, based on nothing but solid guessing, some of it may be true
>It either launches with the November 12th update (unlikely and will probably cause tremendous maintenance, but will give the update a GMS exclusive theme which they love to now) or the December one (possibly bringing back Happyville on the main servers as nostalgia bait)
>Launches with only Victoria Island, mostly Beta content, so up to second job and missing some later additions aside from maybe some later map additions or edits they liked
>During this "Beta" period, account creation will probably be limited in one way or another, either only for existing accounts or accounts of a certain age, but I can also see it being an open beta
>Basically the major "updates" will be fixing shit that's broken and some balance changes if you're lucky, but it's mostly just waiting for them to finish the Orbis/El Nath part
>The servers will then properly "release" during the anniversary update late April/early May, being incredibly similar to the launch version of the game. Sever might not be reset this time, everyone who had a character on it before gets a Mark of the Beta NX cover.
>After that the game will probably follow a similar release schedule to the original game, possibly accelerated but given how the GMS team has historically been I wouldn't hold out much hope
>Don't expect non-KMS content, at least not for a while, and if we get it it will be heavily nerfed or late-game enough that it would be relatively balanced
>Despite protests from dumbasses who expect nothing to be balanced after years of hindsight, it will probably cover from 4th job up to Temple of Time as Pink Bean is way too marketable and the update immediately after adds the Cyggers who are probably the first really good stopping place for them to diverge.
After that it could be anything, old updates (bad), "new" updates (Masteria skin), or just new content entirely.
>>
>>543552395
you're right it's probably less players than that, how many full servers does kms maintain?

>>543563645
I cannot fathom it launches alongside a main maple update. I think december is the absolute earliest.
>>
>>543564074
there's a website that tracks it using api
also "Global Maplestory" probably refers to non-korean maplestory and not gms
just use your brain bro, do you really think the average gmser spends 3x than kmsers, the same people that think it's completely normal to splurge in a "light" $2000 when starting a new mmo despite not knowing if they will continue playing
tms is doing all the heavy work, not gms
>>
>>543564351
The issue is in the investor reports they lump regions together and not necessarily specific games by region.
So, all of global, which includes things like indie sales (dave the diver), the finals, their CYOA mobile games, khazan, etc, is mixed with GMS profits.
>>
>>543564156
I can fathom it, but it seems like a retarded marketing stunt rather than anything that's a good idea. So of course in the update where Inkwell said "yeah we're pulling back on exclusive content to make sure things work and are balanced" there's a possibility they'll say fuck it and implement a borderline experimental server that will cause the exact same type of problem we're been complaining about. This is pessimism, and mostly unfounded, but my whole previous post was the latter so fuck if I know.
>>
>>543564782
I just don't think even in the least thought out times they would cannibalize like that. They're not dumb enough to think normal gms players won't also be playing classic (At least for a while), launching it alongside the new update is pure suicide.

You are correct that it would probably be better as a way too keep interest in the latter half of the update, but there's a couple key things that are worth noting with this specific update. The first part is functionally just Len and Challenger World, then even in KMS the Ascent skills were in the second part which means that if we get the GMS standard delay there's fucking nothing in this part of the event, and the last part is the Adversary boss which will probably hit around Janary-Febuary. This does mean that if they don't have the Ascent skills finished and don't want to roll them out in stages and hope people understand, the entire December update is vacant of content so Classic launching (and the aforementioned potential of Happyville) would be a good distraction.

Any bets on if Azmoth Chasm is coming in the next few updates? Given how KMS focused and job-agnostic the rewards were, it was hard to design something for GMS. However, with the promises of SF fodder and card revamps, now seems like the perfect time to implement it.

I thought I saw some slightly higher EXP on Green Mushrooms or something, but if they balance EXP or drops on certain mobs and mob spawns on certain maps to not be fucking miserable so people can actually grind in more places instead of just the same ones where people get into a KS war that would be nice.

I mean they can't "weed out" botfarms, they don't have an active GM presence in game. They have like 10 gms staffing the entire game total. They'd need to hire 40-50, one to sit in each and every channel and properly scope out reports.

best way is to either block vpn or require phone verification (i think dfo uses similar iirc)
as a bonus we kick all the korean booters out and make them seethe into suicide
>>
>>543573075
blocking vpn only works for the largest scale vpns, you can't do shit against residential vpns, even midrange stuff like mudfish or exitlag.
phone and ID verification would be nice but again the chinese don't really care, they will just falsify documentation like they do for KMS.

I've been thinking about Auction House VS Free Market for a while now. Like, I get the appeal of the Free Market, but between costing real money and being ass to search for anything it's not good as the only solution. On the other hand, you've got the Auction House, which is super convenient and presumably free, but not only do you lose out on interacting with other players, it's a meso sink to take mesos out of the economy which is great for Nexon and the health of the game but kinda sucks for the user. I think the ideal option would be having the Free Market only being open on weekends, and it probably shouldn't force you to pay NX unless they put it in the Reward Points shop or something (or they include a Meso Market, that could be useful). I'm willing to hear out any other recommendations, if you feel like this will cause some Braess' paradox or fomo bullshit I could see that.

classic heroic

but no separate server, you can play with normal players but obviously can't trade or pick up what others drop nor can do the opposite

The grind wasnt that insane back in the day desu, you were just a dumbass kid who thought doing a 4h grind sesh on a Saturday was a big grind.

The grind FELT insane back then, but the reality is most ppl couldn't handle grinding for more than an hour or two, they didnt even grind everyday, no consistency, they did a bit after school, maybe a few hours on the weekend, these days people grind 12+ hours a day, everyday, all year round.

people are going to run an absolute train on osms and destroy all the content in less than a month and the resulting seething from the nostalgia purists "just enjoying smelling the roses" type mfers will be hilarious just like it was in classic wow.

it's also just not a particularly hard grind. once your there it's pretty much just mobbing on one to two platforms unless you have an fma, it's not like you're doing void current 2/3 or something, you aren't going to get tired doing this all you have to do is avoid boredom and your parents kicking you off the family computer. finding a party/map and avoiding excess contact damage are the only things really limiting you but gaining like 1% in 20 minutes isn't even crazy decently late into the game so like, whatever

it's been TWO YEARS since 6th job
why are they still so stingy with frags?
why are frags still untradable?
why are we still stuck with the 3k daily mobs and not the weekly?
>>
>>543673428
because they saw how opening things up worked for 5th (turned it into a joke and everyone has a trillion nodes at any time)
they want it slow because 6th is supposed to be a big bump up in power, and it really is and has been so far.
Also it's like one of the few things you can actually grind in kms so no shit they won't touch frags.
>>
>>543673629
well I was talking more about gms
it's funny how in reg fraggies are worth dirt and even dropping more and more while in heroic we gotta beg nexon not to put just the sol erda as rewards

>>543673428
i just think of frags like how i thought of nodestones post-nerf
>>
>>543673821
That's my point, it's because that's how KMS does it.
you don't think they actually do anything special for heroic do you?
>>
>>543673942
just the release on the dumb untradable lock and the weekly change would be a big help
also they could create a ui to convert sol erda into frags since nexon won't bother changing sol erda reward into selector coupons just in gms
it's been two years so idk why there hasn't been any qol changes

are you actually not getting the point?
kms no longer has reboot so it's ONLY gms heroic that has the stupid restriction
kms doesn't have the frag daily and it's overseas maple exclusive but ONLY gms still has the stupid daily since both tms and sea are now weeklies
ONLY gms heroic suffers from being bottlenecked by frags

i'm pointing these out specifically BECAUSE these are gms-exclusive issues
why are you even mentioning kms
>>
>>543674891
because they are issues precisely because kms doesn't have reboot and inkwell can only solve 1 issue a year.

I played a 1x private server some time ago. It only took a week to get to 2nd job, and two weeks later I was near level 50. This was from straight grinding, no PQs or quests or anything.
I wasn't no-lifing it, either. I have a job and adult responsibilities to tend to. So I imagine that NEETs with nothing better to do would make significantly faster progress than I could.
The grind (the early grind, at least) isn't as bad as people remember. Kids are just stupid and impatient. Looking at the Classic trailers again, some of the HP and EXP values from monsters seem to have been adjusted, so who knows what it'll be like.

I'd assume 1 day for a dedicated NEET
for a casual NEET probably 3 days
30-35 probably would take roughly similar time too
>The grind (the early grind, at least) isn't as bad as people remember
Yeah I agree, 1-30 was not bad
30-35 felt like hell for most jobs though (unless we get like CPQ)
36-50 was great if you had LPQ (up until ~42), but without LPQ... it felt like hell until ~37 or 40ish for most classes
51-70 was just an endurance test
71-75ish i think was the next hell levels without someone higher leveled than you partying with you
76-90 wasn't bad
91-100 endurance test 2.0
101-120 is partying with someone higher leveled than you or it is just an endurance test 3.0 for 101-110 before you can kind of just... turn off your brain and grind to 120
>some of the HP and EXP values from monsters seem to have been adjusted

Despite having several posts in this thread about Classic, I don't really think I'll enjoy it much. Like, the core gameplay of a lot of classes is kind of ass for anyone that likes shmovement or being able to hit more than one enemy relatively quickly. But I'll probably just play it to experience the old maps, pre-BB Victoria Island has a lot of neat maps that were replaced with nothing platforms, even if nice looking maps are rarely good grinding places (and even then they cut a bunch of those).
Also, what class are you playing? I assume nobody is going to play FP or the much worse Paladin, but every other class is at least playable in one way or another even if it's IL or Marksman level of "there too". If my friend is going to play I know they love supports so I'll probably go DK as that's great for Bishop up until 4th job and let's be real we're not getting 4th job until either next winter or summer depending on how fast they do it (I'm betting on summer 2027 personally but who the fuck knows).

Given this event basically gives out 11 free boosters every day that will help a lot, but I will say I dunno how ass the drop rate is on them
>7 MPs+river dailies
That's like 30%
>is day 1 270 doable though?
Unless you're a hardcore grinder probably not, maybe on Interactive Challenger somebody can feed you WAPs to make it slightly easier
>>
week 1 270 probably winnable if you max buy the exp bonus from dungeon and spike a cor from rod3

That will probably involve grinding it out a lot, but even with some dogshit chest luck you're still going to be better off than fucking Fritto portals, what a waste of time.
>>543715632
You're right that they'll probably do some balance changes, even if I'm not sure what. Unfortunately it probably won't be enough unless the changes are more extensive than I think, but at least if you do want to play FP it will be slightly less miserable.

Take your time, it's not like hitting 270 in the first week will make you clear that many bosses that much faster. You've probably still got to get Arcane Umbra shit before you even think of taking on Kalos, the first boss where that level would matter.

you just push early for the compounding effect of dailies basically, all that extra exp & symbols from being the "main" char really adds up
i'll be pushin to 270 early on mainly cus I want erda and to raise up senpaitachi, I do intend to go for 280-285 in cw leisurely, so im not gonna leap out early im just gonna milk out that mpe assuming we dont get fucked on event stats or something

I mean if you ever played a f/p before the only thing holding them back is 2nd job being 1 hit only. Fire arrow is by no means a weak skill though. With its 3 mob count its probably going to be the only 2nd job capable of both mobbing and one shotting White Pangs and easily farm rare drops at yetis which are bad exp for most classes.

No, that would be a colossal waste of time and barely give you any legion power increase for the amount of effort it would take.

Stop thinking up new ways to drone and go wap on your main.
>>
>>543778574
My main is 290 now, I'm just trying to think of ways I can improve my interactive lineup, honestly, since maple points are clearly the most important resource going forward, I need to have a roster that can get me at least 1b a week, but I only get like 150~ coins a day so I can't even cheap out with exp tickets unless I only play once a week.
>>
I've got 760 million raid power, I make 600 coins a day, its mainly just high level geared mules that contribute the most compared to low level mules in starred empress or whatever
>>
>>543779424
Most of my mules are literally just 0 gear 200s from challenge world, I have a couple 260s there I got 6th job on (ilium and a mo xuan since they're my mains on kronos) to do bossing, but even with both of them geared to like ~25mcp I'm struggling. Although I can do nluwill on both (hlucid on my ilium easily) I struggle with higher. I mean, normal tenebris I guess but that's not anything.
>>
>>543771572
they'll do ranger inkwell and lim
>>
>>543779180
You get legion power from levels more than gear and any gear you put on a lvl 200 character probably wouldnt really make a difference.

Maybe just monster park a bunch of characters to lvl 235, thats what I did with my lomien mules because having all 6 symbols give you more combat power than gear at that level of investment ever could.

Also I didn't know you were in interactive so maybe you can't monster park it could be worth putting cheap gear on them idk.
>>
BRO?
your legion champion?
>>
>>543779586
brother, hit the wap, do events, you're never going to get stronger sitting at 260, i literally got a character to 280 doing nothing but checking in and collecting event rewards, wtf are you doing to have your mains still at 260 for so long?
>>
well I think hes a kronos main and hes got interactive characters to make maple points, makes sense to me, but yeah you gotta learn how to gear up and progress in interactive basically (settle for less than perfect)

>>543784850
I think the way it's laid out says it all, classic is clearly the "big thing", for the event, winter update will probably focus pretty heavy on "WE LISTENED LOOK LOOK CHALLENGE WORLD IS SLIGHTLY LESS BALLBUSTING LOOK" and len, and whatever the gms exclusive content is (since we know there's something because they're making a monster earlier in the day).
My money is on "unique" christmas event and probably ride or die s3.

I expect no real change or meaningful announcements for gms itself, just classic.

There's a lot of little things that could be there though, CW2 and Len are like the obvious guaranteed stuff but there's still

level 3 links, familiar revamps, item rental system, lots of stuff they could talk about

yeah I heard from a few people who were in the "creator circle" that most of the people in it dropped out because they had 3 people to reach out to for support and the lack of ability to really make custom assets meant you couldn't really make the game decent, everything would just gravitate towards being more fucking osms clones.

You're highly overestimating maplestory's relevance to the modern world. Without some sort of new content or big draw to tell people they'll be updating it, no one will play. the appeal of "maplestory classic" as seen when artale dropped lasts about a week, it went from several tens of thousands to under 1000, and now it's lucky to break 500 players.

phantoms suck ass, easily one of the worst 4 classes and pretty much perpetually stays there just due to the very concept of the high line low damage philosophy of the class. It's only ever good as we approach obtainable damage that puts us near line limit (which will never happen again).

There's an event starting in 3 weeks that gives you abso replacements for free and you'll upgrade to the next tier within a few months. That event also gets you to level 270 very easily which is likely higher than your current main. There's no point in focusing on the meta so just play whatever you like.

Also you might want to start doing daily winter event check-ins now so that you can get free stuff to help you out in the big event next month.

that sounds like a terrible idea.

You get nothing from making more than one, and you really don't hurt yourself either, you can set your legion to a blank preset, and not add links and you'll get the same effect on a new character.

duky didn't have a choice, also he did it three times. He just bots to get his shit back to where it is.
>>
>>543840726
Duky beat the game, you didn't, he was full pitched and eternals at the time, he started over again because as a content creator with nothing left to do in the game he had essentially ran out of maple content.

Saying "ïf duky can do it so can i" is also extremely retarded, he couldn't do it, he tapped out like 1 month into it, his legion still sucks, he hasnt played his ark in months, can't even be bothered to do check ins, his ark is still in odium or some shit probably, so restarting for a 3rd time didn't really work out for him.

So yeah, when you hit level 295, full pitched, full eternals, 120% boss senpaitachi, if you wanna restart go for it.

Arcane river and symbols saved the game along with 5th job and set it in a new direction.
All I remember is hard magnus taking 20 minutes to kill in order to get loot and tempest which i think removed secondary stat requirements.
>>
>>543859921
>Arcane river and symbols saved the game
while I agree it has made the game more fun and more progressable, my friend (NEET) disagrees since he dislikes that progression is heavily timegated and that he cannot just simply outgrind others to get ahead since it isn't as time-efficient
>All I remember is hard magnus taking 20 minutes to kill in order to get loot and tempest which i think removed secondary stat requirements.
yeah... that and hardmagnus i think had some sort of anti-cheat if you got his health down too fast right? the meteor spam?

he was also the one that rather have things go slower in general if it meant for things to be gated via grinding v.s. daily quests; same reasoning he also used for frenzy totems / wild totems / kishin: get rid of them if it required anything non f2p or another computer to use (you can guess what world he mained)

people are vastly overstating the power of dailies relative to grinding. the real thing with dailies is it lets you beat the ARC/SAC gate, it doesn't make grinding a waste of time in terms of exp/mesos, you're still getting real value the whole time from grinding and you can still do it for way way longer

>>
yeah there is you can just not do it in the same way you can just not log in on any given day or not grind and instead flex in alliance chat or complain about no pitched or stand in front of steamers and say w chat. it doesn't feel as bad because it's a single unit of value instead of just infinite as long as you have free time but yeah all that time you spend not waping and zoning out in the cash shop or posting here is also value lost. you lose value all the time the super end game stinky neets are the ones capitalizing on that value that's why they aren't "just" a dailystory player they were gonna log in that day anyway and then do the rest of the stuff
>>
>>543862601
>>543863605
unironically this is also what my NEET friend did too. he made 20 of his chars up to around Hlucid level of funding. though this was before the boss crystal limit decrease. if he was still playing i wouldn't doubt he would've had those kinds of mules by now

also i'm pretty sure there were like maybe only 20 parties of people far enough to clear hbaldrix on gms reboot during that release event thing so we're complaining about like maybe 60-100 people

I will only be okay with 4th job if they completely rework them. 4th job was one of the bricks that destroyed the glass house that was classic's class balance.
>Hero can now solo everything because their entire class is just attack multipliers onto Brandish
>Paladin still sucked and unlike archers they still have no party skills

>Mages completely dominated everything that weren't bosses and enabled both the Leeching and HP Washing meta
>Bishops amplified what I said about mages tenfold
The only 4th jobs that were even remotely sane were the Pirates because those classes were designed with a 4th job in mind. The rest weren't, and it shows. The entirety of 4th job needs a do-over, but it probably won't happen because the vocal minority of autistic purists will scream really really loud about it.

much like wow classic, which saw massive instant falloff, maple classic will die when people realize the nostalgia cant carry shit gameplay and they just miss socializing as a kid on the internet
>>
>>543891421
You are completely missing the point.
WoW Classic and OSRS both lost players hard shortly after launch because people realized that playing an MMO without updates is fucking boring and people will just stop playing. OSRS turned it around by adding new content consistently, meanwhile Blizzard only does seasonal shit which will only keep people interested for short periods of time instead of long term.

If Nexon just launches classic and then abandons it it will obviously die, but if they update it in a way that's faithful to the original game then people will stick around.
>>
>>543891873
No, classic bled players immediately. Probably half were gone after the first month, and it continued to crash until around when the wpvp flightpoint camping shitfest chased off anyone casual leaving behind only a handful of autists

OSRS (classic too now lmao) is all bots so it doesnt really matter. Literally tens of thousands of wildy scouting bots hopping 24/7 but Jagex wont touch them

not having updates wouldn't play into their issues until they actually ran out of new stuff, but most of the people left around level 30-50 when they realized the game sucked ass

the minority of nostalgia autists who refuses to mentally mature are already dedicated to playing pre-bb pservers
these are the only players with potential to stick for long with classic ms, and that's assuming they will actually be fine with leaving their high rates for a 1x/1x/1x official server
most global players will see the novelty wear off immediately as soon as they realize they aren't sociable little kids anymore and classic ms gameplay is fucking garbage if you aren't using it as a glorified chatroom
that's even more true for returnees who haven't been playing either pservers or gms, they will just ride the release hype for a while and disappear for the same reason
i'm personally in for some nostalgia "fun" too but i have zero intention of becoming dedicated, my main objective are the classic to gms rewards

I played classic but really you're wrong, of course the 1st month had insane numbers and then a drop off, do you not understand how hype works?
It broke twitch records with over 1 million people tuning in to watch jokerd hit lvl 60 first, of course this brought alot of tourists who were never going to stick around for long.

Classic was still successful for the entire run, at no point was it low pop or dying, I remember 10k login queues all the way till aq40, even now the relaunch servers are packed, they had a solid 5 years with a huge player base.

Never underestimate how far boomers will go to play the same shitty version of the game over and over and over and over, I wouldn't doubt on osms, people did the same same "classic will die in a month" dooming for osms and wow and both those games are still going strong.

>facts don't matter because my subjective opinion is the only thing that matters!
All three of those games are of similar quality btw

with mapleland hitting 120k conc and artale hitting 280k it would be completely embarrassing if gms OFFICIAL classic fails to hit lower than those

you know those aren't concurrent counts right?
Those are TOTAL PLAYS FROM UNIQUE IPs
So you can already quarter it due to the game being on mobile.
Artale doesn't even have 5k total users nowadays across all of it's regions (EU, APAC, US, china, korea). mapleland might be better I guess but I don't know their situation.

there's going to be nothing to do by a month in, so we're clear. and the design philo you all apparently want rules out making any interesting bosses at any point by default, so it's REALLY banking on PQs hard carrying this game which is why that's most of what they're showing in these
but old maple wasn't actually about PQ spam that's just what most people remember doing or at least seeing because most of the playerbase was hardstuck and you see people doing it in towns. classic wow could get away with being classic wow cause those games actually had a fine if very easy end game that was just massively unoptimized at the time, old maplestory does not

around what time is classic date revealed at maplecon tomorrow?
>>
>>543904852
The classic panel is from 3:30 to 4:30 PM PST, so they either frontload with a reveal trailer, or save it for the very end of the event.
>>
the latter makes more sense if they want people to not leave the event early
>>
>>543905138
I mean the very end of the event is 5PM pst, it's already the last, premiere thing there. It goes almost right from winter event talk to classic talk, then it ends a half hour later (Supposedly Q&A for classic but I don't know how true that is)

they should stealth drop classic maple before that too that would be funny

>>543918201
It would but I think a test would do well to capitalize on maplecon, from like now to when CW2 drops.
>>
>>543918201
CW is basically gonna be a continuous event though, now. There will almost ALWAYS be a challenge world running from here on, same as burning.
>>
It's happened twice and caused a big spike every server it's been ran on so far. Obviously it's gonna keep on happening because it's a big money maker but they'd want to synergize with it not against it
>>
Maplestory will be your 2nd job and you will like it
>>
>>543922326
Exactly, that's why "waiting for cw2 to be over" is a nonsensical idea.
They'd want to wait a month in when most of the massive hype is over and people have blitzed to 260 through their hypermax.
>>
>>543896657
no those numbers were concurrent
also artale is still the most popular game in taiwan
>>
I think you misunderstand the point of CW though it's not just a hyperburn they could do that whenever it takes like 1 or 2 days to hit 260 if you know what to do the player count comes from people logging on every day to grind and chase their solos for the medals and rewards and stuff. That's what takes a really long time, they get people to do prog and sit in practice mode against boss they may have never solod before and stuff and then they get to sell you ur saunas and ur gene pass and what not so they make dollar. CW1 a pretty good player could have probably gotten done in a month but "finishing" CW2 is going to take most people way more than a month, people are going to be libbing there and that's gonna be taking longer than a month by itself
>>
>>543923196
So explain to me how of the 340k players artale has ever had, it's had a concurrent count of 280k players.
>>
>>543923586
idk what ur saying but you can look it up
maplestory worlds global had 280k concurrent when artale released in taiwan

Pally is still good in late Pre-big bang servers, they are great at scarga, anego, kachuu musha, and have an easier big foot than hero. Easily achieve 200k damage cap pre-cubes.Giving them any buffs makes them broken in every single server that tried it (Like 2x-3x damage of heros).
DrK actually becomes the strongest late gamer with se+apple because of 3 lines but it needs NL tier funding for it. Saw some fellas hitting 100k lines x3 with 150k lines which beats the damage cap of 200k those days.
Hero is balanced by having the weakest 1-120, no elemental advantages, it's tiger is shit compared to dragon roar. Truly a class designed with 4th job in mind.
Archers can do as much shitty NLs. I had a 170 Bowman doing 50k-75k per line of hurricane while the avg NLs did 30-50k. Great 2nd job decent 3rd job they're balanced by being essential in endgame parties.
Shads are really fun in Pre-big bang but yeah this class actually needs buffs. Boomstab is just way too slow with too little lines.
Mages are fine because they suck in bosses. FMA farming is fun and essential for economy.

You know I think that's what I'm most curious about, if they'll have any world tour stuff available. That was an ENORMOUS part of my formative GMS experience. Getting to the jipang sauna maps and all that shit.

>>
>>543933253
are you fucking stupid
>>
>>543933253
maplestory has had a lot of attempts at games, the issue is more that they either don't support them or gut them for no discernable reason.
Maplestory 2 is just the biggest example of the gutting side. The game was very specific, and the map was almost original vic island tier great, every area had it's place, world bosses in specific areas dropped specific gears so EVERYWHERE in the map was filled, and you even had max levels occasionally deathballing to get resources and pots.
Then they just... Made it a themepark, where you just follow a boring story no one gave a shit about, you never touch world bosses, you only do events and raids for gear, and then suddenly the entire game was empty besides towns, no one bothered doing PVP anymore (though that had other issues like p2w with the paid elixirs healing better and having lower cds and less limits).
It was already failed by the time it made it stateside, remember how they advertised it with that fucking battle royale mode, that I don't even think existed on launch? lmao.
Custom dungeons that they had full discords and private forums for (though admittedly most of them also got early access to maplestory worlds, not that any of them took it up, they just went to roblox instead), the grand prix I think eventually came out but I'd quit by that point, so much shit they promised and showed off to just not follow up on in favor of shitting out more generic MMO slop content, more boring raids, more housing garbage. MS2 was fucking awful, and it all started with them removing the original, good zakum for some "MEMBER 2D MEMBER MEMBER LOOK ITS 2D REMEMBER COOL NOSTALGIA WOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH". still fuckin mad eleven years later.
>>
why would I need another game, that would distract from this one
>>
>>543933253
>ignoring the DS and 3DS games
>ignoring worlds
>ignoring the 5 billion mobile games
>>
>>543935401
And now that I've got my shitting anger at MS2's mishandling out of my system:

Things like maplestory DS and 3DS were pretty successful in japan and kr, kr it actually pushed DS lite sales (mostly so people would get the special pigmy egg, which was like gacha over there), 3DS less so which is why it never got another sequel (also the fact it wasn't maplestory at all and basically just an action game skinned with maple thematics)

The mobile games and flash games before them were nexon's attempt at 'marketing' it in the west. Maplestory live was literally just an adaptation of a handful of maple flash games, and it was SO successful they started selling other versions with other classes, and then eventually they realized they had better odds turning it into a full on service title, and thus maple M was born. It also has a really troubled history and KR and global are entirely different games with different progression systems, bossing systems, character systems, everything is basically entirely different they just share some assets.

Worlds was supposed to come out fucking forever ago but ended up taking till covid to really do so, and roblox had it's renaissance by then. It never would have come close to roblox, don't get me wrong, but it stood more of a chance, especially when stuff like Bosstory was new (one of the earlier OSMS games). But people waited and waited for nothing.

Maplestory N is the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen and it's crazy I don't hear more about it, it was maplestory but everything is on fifteen more layers of RNG. God I wish I could write a dissertation on just how bad "web 3" gaming is but no one would read it.
>>
>>543936278
oh and honorable mention to DnF, they had a game made by the same staff that made the maple flash games create an xbox 360 arcade game. This was also around the time nexon NA was just straight up lying about their plans, like putting maplestory, dnf on 360, and Sugar Rush coming out at all (then they fucked klei over, joke's on them, klei would have sold then nexon would have owned don't starve.)

What to expect from tomorrow
>almost all the QoL announced last note, Len CW2, you know the blatantly obvious stuff
Obviously November 12th (13th because of extended maint), but I will say the announced card bag will definitely be called an Album
>Ascent
Could be pushed all the way back to January update because it was in the 2nd part in KMS and we consistently get skills delayed
>New Epic Dungeon
Could be pushed up to December update because we get the Epic Dungeons pushed up with shocking frequency
>Azmoth Chasm
With all the new GMS specific job-agnostic QoL shit, they finally have enough to make this almost worth it. Expect it in November or December.
>New Althea shit
We're getting it in December whether we like it or not
>Classic World
December at the earliest, and even then it's probably going to be Victoria Island/2nd Job reflecting the Beta period. Could be an actual Beta. Don't expect Orbis/El Nath/3rd Job until the Anniversary regardless of when the game comes out. Expect no non-KMS content, that shit was broken and would make balancing the already fucked Classic even harder.
>PNo remaster
I dunno why we don't have this yet
>JMS class remaster
They were announced in TMS in like June I dunno why they announced them so early and why they haven't come out yet and why they were announced in Taiwan instead of Japan, but going by how baffling it is we could get it first just to fuck with us.
>El Nath Abyss
Low chance of happening at all, they'd probably do another Ride or Die legion block before that but if they're really trying to not completely break the game they could include this instead
>Erel
Probably not happening since we're getting Len, expect it in Anniversary or Summer update. Similarly, the new boss should drop around the same time.
>Lian Plateau
I don't expect any of the three bits of content o come in this update, for some reason TMS content comes in our Anniversary update. In spite of this even fucking SEA is getting it so I could be very wrong.

It could, very easily work as an animal crossing style game. There are so many crazy outlandish locales, make it so you can set backdrops and build up your own ludi, orbis, el nath, kerning, perion, magatia, and then if they want dlcs for AR and grandis.

so, stream for maplecon is from noon pst to 4:30 PST, which means nothing after the end of the classic panel, so they're not doing some sort of end-of-event wrapup trailer either, kind of sad.

>>543940947
you guys don't get an afterparty?
>>
>>543943801
last panel is 4:30, says they're drawing the tickets for the pure silver maplestory coin after, then it closes at 5, so no. I'm sure some people will be doing one, I know kobster (isiinggunz) is there so he'll probably go out with the other kms crew.
>>
>>543944289
damn that sucks, they gotta work on maplecon more
>>
>>543944932
They've had like 5 previous festivals to sort this out, and 2 entirely online ones. There's really no excuse for this. I'm betting it's pretty much barren except the lines for the classic MS demo like most years where there's just one relevant thing.
>>
>>543945064
also I don't know what they'll do next year, classic MS brought a LOT of people over. If they keep the increased ticket prices I expect a lot of people to straight up not show.

they're losing money by not getting a bigger venue
>>
so how would the new client work?
when you launch it lets you select current gms vs classic like how you select na vs eu when you first launch?
>>
>>543946169
It's not the venue size, brother, they upscaled to a fucking hangar where they shoot car marketing vids and commercials, it's a big spot, maplefest is a fucking stage where they host the panels, a merch 'area' (basically three or four tables with a bunch of boxes of the merch), a demo area, and then cosplay space. That's all it's been as maplefest, and they've said nothing to make me think it won't be the same. They were still setting up when I got my badge just now, but it sure as shit didn't look packed.

Though I will say they had like 20 omen prebuilts set up with hyperX stuff for presumably the classic demo. We'll see tomorrow, they have at least 10 people streaming the whole day, 5 on nexon's payroll, plus official, and then 4 others I know of.
>>
>>543946817
It could be baked in to the existing client where it's just a selector like NA vs EU is right now, but odds are more that it's a separate client you have to download. We'll know tomorrow when Q&A hits.
>>
>>543946963
well they did say it would be just a separate server category like interactive and heroic but I doubt it will work properly like that (especially since they also showed off the prebb login screen)
>>
>>543947282
I mean that's possible, I've seen some pretty wild separate styles of game in the same KR pserver client, but it seemed like it might have been too much for them to handle, especially since they're gonna have to reintroduce a lot of assets. I guess the game has pruned a lot of spaghetti lately but I'd be worried about it not playing nice.

Based on previous maplefests, and the content they've shown so far and have announced in their "guide to maplecon", yes, pretty much. Maybe they've scaled the merch area up (lol), and maybe there are more demo setups floating around, but the big thing is still the main stage. It's a very large hangar, again, they film car commercials here for like supercars and sportcars and shit, it's big enough to hold a LOT.
>>
>>543950387
Embarrassing
>>
>>543950472
It really is, I don't know why they bought out the larger venue, you can see in previous maplefest footage that the shit ends up empty by the end of the day, people showed up for the solstice update trailer/panels, and that's it. I think it's gonna be the same here with most people just sitting in corners on their laptops/decks/allys.

No. omok is go/baduk (but dumbed down, more like othello)
match card is... matching cards.
yut is a classic korean board game because they didn't have dice or some shit.

I don't think there have been many truly original games, but just spins on them. During black the major minigames were pretty involved and a little more than just knockoffs.

I miss the fuck out of star planet. I was #1 in that typing game all but 3 weeks of star planet's existence in GMS. I had so many fucking pets, all of my characters had pets all the time.
>>
>>543952663
also, just to mention because it sorta gets glossed over, star planet in KR had a whole fucking mobile app attached to it, you could play one card on the shitter, and I regularly did while I was playing KMS, it was a super easy way to grind out mileage/reward points.
GMS missing the API to get any cool shit only hurts us more as time goes on. Fingers crossed we at least get the webhooks so we don't have to keep half-assing on other region's calculators.
>>
>>543952663
>>543954329
yeah I loved star planet, I had the skateboard but I don't think I ever played enough to get the pet before they removed it, I remember one of my guildies had the pets though
I'd really like if they'd announce GMS api this maple con so here's hopin
>>
>>543954663
The board would upgrade as you ranked up, but shining star had nothing to do with your points, you just had to be top 5, and truthfully most people never played a lot of the games. Typing least of all. If you got top rank you got some not-VIP exp atmospheric effects (I think they gave 25% instead of 50)
and free mixed hair dye coupons. It was great value for like 30 minutes a week.

I know in GMS a lot of the games had latency issues, legends return when it was part of star planet was notorious for being hacked to fuck and back, as well. I'm not surprised it went away in general, but it was fun to have an actual social space to chill, and it was cross-world too.

i second having phases, but i'd stagger them differently
p1 - 3rd job, zak, ludi + aqua road
maybe a p1.5 - deep ludi + deep aqua road
p2 - 4th job, ht
p3 - pirates, mushroom shrine, nlc
p4 - pink bean, fuck it, og JMS neo city
p5 - dbs, evans, all that random shit, please god visitors again that was such a cool event

starting with 4th job in the game would be a mistake since until you're actually at 4th job you feel like a chump and getting to 120 on low rates is legit ass especially with potentially just kms maps

actually getting bb would fracture a dwindling playerbase even more
i could see them backporting resistance and some post-bb bosses

maybe give the vic only andys some red meat by making the beta vic only

If they nerf Holy Symbol in Classic they'll have to buff the other parts of Priest's kit to make it more of a solo-farm oriented job because Priest is weak when compared to attacking jobs. The Priest leveling playstyle is to leech from attacking jobs because you don't deal comparable damage by yourself, and offer better rates with Holy Symbol to encourage people to want to party with you. If you nerf Holy Symbol then that basically makes priest a hell job to play worse than Paladin or FP mage. My crackpot theory is that the triple shot holy arrow they showed off is a sign that they are considering this type of rework to make the Bishop line more similar to other jobs and gutting HS

Priests got by just fine training at undead ludi mobs with their warrior BFs. The kit isn't the problem. The lack of diverse training areas is, which is something they never truly fixed in pre-big bang because every new area just replaces the old one as the meta instead of being an additional option.

think i can go 250-260 in a week? i had symbol selector coupons i used that said they expired the 11/11, im a dumbass who didnt read the tooltip that they expire in 7 days after selection. im hitting 251 tonight after my daililes...think it will be worth burning out to grind to 260 so i dont lose 400 sacred symbols? this is my first character, how long does 400 take to get normally?

How many hours do you have? 251-260 in a week is not a crazy unrealistic thing at all, make sure you're doing your dailies, doing all 7 of your MP.

400 sacred symbols is a couple months.

>>
>>543980732
lots of fixups from the great 2m burst squish, lots of balancing touch ups to bring things more in line.
new 6th job skill that isn't a big thing like origin, but instead something you can weave into your regular attack rota (it just adds shit tons of damage, basically) They also removed the bounty hunter portals in general, including flame wolf. More traces and honor medals drop from emobs in exchange. Bounty hunter exclusive monsters for collection can now be acquired through special monsterblooms at monster park shop (150 coins per, 5 per week limit)


New polopritto event type where you get a chest that just shits out exp (so you don't have to go into a new map). Rune of Riches returns but now it's like a bingo like echampions, every 5th rune is now riches, gives a bigger exp multi when popped, and some more.
Less relevant on GMS since I think we've still had it for a while, but all maps above level 60 are now instanced

Monster park now goes up to 275 (odium) and you get more coins on first clear, plus reorg of the levels for all instances of MP.

Day 8 of monthly checkin is now a selector for 3 VIP boosters OR a mega burn

new buff potion from the collector, 8min, 100atk.
Buff sequencing instead of just attack macroing, this can be used to throw items and stuff.

all weekly+ bosses now have a punch king style lobby where you're instantly charged to max, cds are reset. However, you can no longer smuggle buffs in, any buffs you have get wiped away.

You can now fucking SKIP new character stories, either full skip just plopped at 30, summary where you get cliffnotes, or play it through. You get and keep all skills, items, etc. Zeros get dropped at 120 with ch2 completed (so they can participate in regular content)

Sunday resets get moved to thursday (unified reset)
THEORETICALLY
THIS IS THE PATCH WE GET UNIFIED CASH SHOP.

There's more, that's just patch 1 in kr, and should be what we get on the 12th. Stuff like UI improvements.

>>543986182
ideally you wouldn't at all, challenge world has another 20 potions that level you up to 200 immediately to basically fill out half of a legion.
But if you want to, yes, use whatever is available to do it.
2x tickets from cash shop, 2x vouchers, MVP, strawberry tickets if you got em will get you there pretty fast.

bros give it to me straight, I love cadena so much but I'm so ass. do I just need to get myself in the hyperbolic practice mode chamber and suck it up?
also I don't plan on main swapping ever but is kain in a similar enough vein, play style wise, for me to pick up and also enjoy?
>>
>>543993409
kain is babby mode compared to cadena and his movement is way clunkier and less intricate
>>
>>543993891
dang... i know it's unrealistic to expect anything similar to cad in terms of my own enjoyment. if he's at least somewhat similar to be categorized as a baby cad then I might still give it a look, despite that
>>
>>543993409
What about cadena appeals to you? Is it being able to mash a lot of buttons and feel good? Maybe try blaster. Khali is also very capable of shitting out damage and prioritizes movement. Kinesis blows chunks but he's got some of the best movement in the game besides ilium.
>>
>>543995475
if I had to think about it, I think it's because cad is so freeform. I love comboing and apm but it feels rhythmic, not spammy which might be why I didn't enjoy blaster too much. i have no experience with khali though so that could be a good option.
>>
>>543993409
sorry but cadena is the one class that's gatekept but pure talent
even if you do work hard you will eventually hit your plateau and at that point you will become invested enough into the class that you will want to maximize your damage output, only to realize that you can never hit that optimal damage output because you are talentgated
will become even tougher as you age
>>
did they make it so that we can claim exp across mules doing dailies yet
>>
>>543996008
that's fine really, im not really bothered or put off from the class by that even if it's true. as long as I'm playing maple, cad is what I want to play. my post was more looking for more options for mules but I got some ideas now thankfully ^^
>>
>>543995835
Khali may appeal to you, yeah. She's very much about learning to position, knowing what moves to use and when. Do bear in mind, EVERY class turns into "do your rota" at higher levels, they all get spammy, even cadena, because bosses get really fucking predictable.
>>
>>543996559
sounds like something id like then! it's late now but I'll check some videos tomorrow.
>EVERY class turns into "do your rota"
yeah that's fair, anything to spice it up through class mechanics is appreciated... thanks again!
>>
>>543996408
You know what would be great? If there was a way to just do dailies on one character, even if it needs to be completed 40x times
>>
>>543997452
That reduces total time spent in game, that reduces MAU because most people only stay on an hour or less a day as is.

So, it's important to mention if anyone's actually interested in maple classic, the best times to catch footage or streams will be from 10:00 AM PST (or slightly before) to 12:00 PM PST, as that's the "entry" time, when people are being funneled in. from 12:00 to 5:00 PM there are pretty much nonstop panels running, where most attention will be focused. But the paid streamers will almost certainly be playing shit tons of classic for those first 2-3 hours.

Yeah, they did, it was called the GMS Beta and it lasted like 8 months. I would not be surprised if there's a similar "beta" period from whenever Classic launches until the actual anniversary when they'd probably release Orbis/El Nath/3rd Job (instead of slightly delaying 3rd job like the real game did).

QOL seems to be pretty big, most classes had pretty significant changes to make mobbing more meaningful, no HP washing from what we see (gain rates are much more reasonable), moves got made more modern and less prone to fucky wucky (fire/holy arrow specifically). There should be lots of qol all round based on just the snippets.
P2W we won't know until it comes out. It's almost a guarantee there will be 2x tickets though.
>>
>>544059523
a lot of mastery skill are boosted too

also it's based on the current client (it's just a new world selector) so almost 150% chance a lot of the old dupes and crashes are fixed.

I haven't paid attention to maple in years so had no idea. Those quality of life changes seem massive in terms of my interest in this as some of the classic stuff were ridiculously annoying and game ruining. HP washing being one of the notorious ones which I was dreading.

2x tickets I am not a fan of as that just makes anyone paying being able to move up twice as fast in most things and it does end up costing a ton if you want to keep that up.

Thanks for the quick info and if it really does end up having these sort of quality of life changes and the monetization not being absolutely insane which Nexon somehow managed to out do real casinos, it could be really fun. One of my favorite games of all times and getting to replay classic without most of the later on introduced stuff would be fun and potentially meeting new friends.

the real question is:
are the qol going to fix the fact that there's literally no reason to play any other class than priest/bishop during the entire first year of classic

Definitely interested after looking up some restream videos showcasing stuff. It seems pretty nice to get the classic experience without literally copy pasting the old version and calling it a day.
Is there any prediction of release date or potentially announcement from this stream? I would also consider sniping names for this very reason as there is no names available once you miss the starting bus.

Would DK still be a good idea? I always liked the videos from DKs on youtube and how they seemingly were also a solid class in general? I didn't play this early on so I'm going off memory of reading and watching stuff about classic.

There's anticipation of it, when they announced it earlier they explicitly mentioned "look for more info at maplecon".
Odds are just because of the way things are set up that the full release is still at least 6 months away bare minimum, but they may hold a larger scale test sooner.

No confirmations or anything though so again, best odds are just peep the panel, they'll be talking about classic and the directions they intend to take it so it should be a good watch regardless.

They really want me to level Holy Arrow past lv1 instead of maxxing and afking on Heal's key huh

DK's are solid, flashy skills, good attackers in 4th job but you have to manage your hp to stay in berserk
probably less mandatory than they were in parties now that hp gains are increased and hyper body is only 30%

I'd hope for an early release due to wanting to get in asap if the game does deliver the comfortable classic experience without the pain in the ass "mechanics". I'll tune in on the stream as it does seem to have potential for me to actually get hyped about a game in 2025 and reliving that grind of MMOs.
>>544062161
Forgot about the HP manage which doesn't sound too fun honestly. DK was stuck in my mind due to hyper body making the much later on grind more comfier, but will have to see with more information as it does seem to be rather extensive changes to all classes. Being forced to party up with certain classes only due to their buffs being way too good to pass up on does sound even if this would be still ideal, but not exactly mandatory tier.
