What elements / features of maplestory would you change to make better? and what others would you add?

Let's keep it realistic and simple please. Suggest things that aren't too far from what we've already been getting. Things like "eliminate cubes", "delete potential", "make nx drop from monster" and mostly anything related to NX are probably never happening, so lets try to focus on smaller things.

I will start:

-----------------

Medals: The way the medal system works right now is really lame in my opinion. There are probably around 500 medals in the game, rewarding players for achieving different goals. The game tries to sell you the idea that they all are valuable and you want to obtain them all, so they put them as a reward to every new content and every new event they release, and yet you only need 1... what else can be said about this?

My solution: Medal case: An Item / UI that allow you to put a set amount of medals, which acquires stats equal to the sum of the stats on all the medals you put into it and changes the medal tittle you carry to that of the one medal you set as main one.

Since medals cannot have potential lines and all of them have incredible low stats that are trivial when compared to the average of end game items circulating around, why not simply allow you to put medals in this case, and all of their stats to stack up and go to your character? At first I thought that simply revamping the medal collection UI, allowing for ALL medals in your collection to stack up would be the best since getting them all requires an inmense amount of work, but a friend suggested the amount of stats one could get from it would be broken due to the potential system, so I don't know about this. With the damage cap gone I am not sure this would be a problem, but I'll leave that to those that are pro at the math formulas of maplestory.

I see this as a win for everyone, even Nexon, because they could even release different cases in CS that alter the way the Medal tittle looks giving them yet another way to profit from the game that doesn't give an advantage to those with money.

-----------------

Boss queue system: One problem I got with the boss queue UI or whatever is called is that it doesn't really reward anyone for teaming up to fight a boss. In the end the players that fight X boss together end up gaving to share the spoils from that fight, so If you can already solo that boss, the only benefit you get from queueing is a shorter queue time, and thats it.

My suggestion: Simply change the boss reward system. Would it really affect the game negatively if everyone was rewarded full exp from fighting a boss and ALL drops were instanced to every person in the fight? I am poor so I take EVERYTHING and I use what I can / extract what I can / NPC what I can., but It also saddens me not being able to party with friends or others that need help with bossing because I need to loot.

-----------------

Let me hear what you guys think of these ones and let me read those ones you got in mind. Maybe we can get loud enough for one of these to appear one day as a release part of "A better Maple".

Thanks

It looks like the turkey isn't going to be available as a permanent mount in Reboot; is that right, or am I reading it the update wrong?
As a second question if it isn't available as a permanent in reboot, why not? I can understand not having the scrolls since scrolls aren't available in reboot, but the permanent pet and skills don't make sense to me. ]]> https://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/4925/nx-black-friday-event-prepaid-only-or-credit-2 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 15:52:43 +0000 General Chat MrRager 4925@/discussions https://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/1116/old-maplestory-nostalgia Sun, 23 Oct 2016 22:24:22 +0000 General Chat NeoTokyoDude 1116@/discussions
There was once a soda pop company that changed its drink and then later changed it back to the older formula. this drink was called Coco cola. Could it have been that the customers had a deeper connection to the older drink or more nostalgia power with it? Possibly, it might have been that people were mostly drinking the soda because of nostalgia but instead of talking about soda, I'm going to talk about Maplestory.

I don't think nostalgia for this game can fully be captured in words. Even 300 threads or more would probably not be enough if everybody was included. Instead I can maybe share a small sample of it through drawing on my own experience. Players nostalgia is unique but also universal in some ways. People say "what is this Maple nostalgia that you speak of? I have never heard of it." You could say it is an affection for the past but in order to be accurate, I might need to make comparisons among versions. Which is not to claim that one is better than the other only that they are just different. Like apples and oranges, its all fruit.

To start with, I miss the Old MS loading process and sign in procedures. It was quick to start up and the sign board with mushrooms and grass in the background was charming. Today there is more to load so I guess the trade off is needing to wait for a while, maybe not a bad thing but I prefer when the loading was faster. Creating a character was like a mini game, perhaps not efficient but I thought it was always fun. If everybody could adapt to the newest version then that would make all the players happy. What else could there be in Old MS that cannot be found in a newer version? (this is the question I asked myself when thinking of nostalgia)

Remember, I do not see the past and present games as being inferior to each other only different. For instance, what would you rather do after playing for an hour?
1. Level up 10 times, auto assign a lot of stat points because its not that important to pay attention and maybe change training map.
2. Level up once, carefully distribute the few precious stat points and use the newly improved powers to better fight mobs of comparable strength.

Really just different ways of doing the same thing but with emphasis in different places. Some people say that the Fairy arc in SAO was less interesting because the hero was not in as much "real" danger. Old MS had a larger emphasis on making bad choices hurt more if the player goofed.
Like in exploration, today you might say "check the in game map." but in Old MS a player could become lost if they did not have directions or had seen a map on a site like Hidden street. Similar right? No dude, the in game map only provides an overhead view. In Old MS you literally needed to study the field maps (or get help) to figure out the routes to places. Little nooks and crannies are a tiny part of the larger world but they did help provide depth.

Speaking of travel, that brings me to the air ships and the dimensional portal. This is another instance of differing approaches to the same problem. I think the Phantom class was released just before the portal appeared. While I admit my other characters were jealous of Phantoms ability to fly anywhere, making fast travel easy for everybody sort of cheapens it. A few other classes have expanded travel options but I think they are robbed of some of their special-ness when class specific abilities get canceled out because there is a commonly accessible portal. Maybe things become more streamlined but I am not so sure that is always a good thing. Chief Tatamo of Leafre must really be having hard times because nobody needs to buy anymore of the warp seeds. The opposite approach could have been to make long distance travel even more difficult like with a broken down air ship or something. It might sound inconvenient but details like this add to the sense of adventure. Where as making travel much easier maybe lowers the sense of adventure a little. Given the choice between the slow air ships and fast portal I don't think there are a lot who would go slow but it is supposed to be something special that is reserved for a few classes. (like Phantom and his fancy airship)

Similar to walking 15 miles in the snow to reach point A from point B. During the long trek maybe you discover a Polar bear, or a frozen person who needs help or find buried treasure in the snow? Or you could hop on a snowmobile and arrive in about 15 minutes. They are kind of the same journey but also not the same. This is one of many things I miss.


Naturally streamlining is not always a bad thing but it is definitely not always good. How long could it be until Maplestory resembles one of the other zillion web games that exist?Games where the action boils down to:
1. push button to auto walk to quest Npc.
2. push button to auto walk to mobs
3. push button to auto kill mobs
4. push button to auto walk to quest Npc and complete quest.
5. repeat

Granted Maplestory and Old MS are not a lot more than pushing multiple buttons but I would think that players want more immersion and not less. At the end of the day it is still Maple and they are both online games so neither is really "bad" but in my very limited view of nostalgia, I would say that I like Old MS because it has good immersion.

One more thing I liked about the period of Old MS is that there were no artificial divisions between old/ current/ new, it was all just Maplestory.

I'm asking because i was training my aran in the shallow seas and there were 3+ bots on multiple channels, and multiple others (who weren't botting, but tried to "overpower" the bots, which was futile) who, after asking, said some things along the lines of "i don't know how to report" or "but i could get banned too" or "they don't get banned anyway".]]> https://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/4821/black-friday-deal-event Mon, 21 Nov 2016 03:12:04 +0000 General Chat ardy 4821@/discussions https://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/4818/hello-star-planet-my-old-friend Mon, 21 Nov 2016 00:50:12 +0000 General Chat Klara 4818@/discussions
