New Gollux still sucks, but I'm done whining
Comments
Now it takes MINIMUM A MONTH
What in your useless, time gating, stupid minds made you think this was a good idea?
The content that makes us better than JMS you go and slap ANOTHER EFFING TIME GATE ON.
What is with your hardon for times gates?
Go shove a time gate up your nose and fall down a flight of stairs.
They're a required part of MMOs, get used to it.
True but a month is a bit excessive, and doesn't justify turning Gollux into a Lotus for no reason. I can understand making it more of a 180 boss, a thing closer to CRA, but if its true that it even 16mil characters can't dent him, and that the rewards remain the same despite the godly buff Hellux got, then its not really good. With CRA, Lotusmien, and the Arcane River Grind, we got way too much unreachable and time consuming stuff to "strive for" in MapleStory, even when compared to other MMOs.
I don't think it is. Look at the items that Gollux gives. These are some of the best items in the game. You will never replace them.
I think it's mostly just a knee jerk reaction to how easy he used to be compared to the fact that the boss actually matches the drops now.
If he had always been this way, players would be fine with it. The problems comes from the fact that he wasn't always like this, giving old players advantage.
I think this too, will die down over time and players will be okay with it after all the dust settles.
The ones who are to invested to leave may, and others just won't try it. Gollux was fine the way it was, being a gateway to harder content. The jump between Empress and CRA is way too deep, and again, a month out of everyone's life is way too much time to ask for a single clean accessory.
Also consider that the gollux shop now restocks weekly and lets you buy every accessory instead of relying on RNG.
You'll be just fine waiting a bit longer to get end-game gear. I think it's a fair trade-off.
Consider alongside the bolded point that I've heard people gripe about doing hellux for weeks, more than a month, and still not having a superior belt or pendant drop. If you still don't get a drop after weeks and weeks of doing the boss, you'll have enough coins to simply buy it instead of just being up a creek.
seriously this game is slowly turning back to it's full pay to win state...
Either rollback this revamp or allow carries again..
yey can't finish my supp pendant and earrings now congratz.
It takes a single day to get the CRA tops and bottom, both BiS items, and CRA is a once a week affair.
It takes 1 month of DAILY grind per Superior item, thats 4 months for each individual item, 5 for double pendant, and 6+ to have them all fully scrolled with the 60% Gollux Scrolls.
Not even KMS makes you grind that awful for meta equips. Gollux doesn't even follow the game's own source of truth.
Not everyone is a P2W to do Hellux alone, Gollux doesn't give instanced rewards so someone in the party is getting nothing. Its still around 30 coins pero Hellux, which is only one Superior item per month without the Gollux scrolls, on a Daily boss the level of Lotus and Damien.
CRA takes 1 day to get 2 BiS items.
In 1 month you already have most of Absolab, and you don´t have to boss everyday for it.
- Made lv 4 gollux super duper hard
- More than doubled the coin price for sup gollux items
- Increased coin price for gollux scrolls as well
- Pretty much blocked carries
- Kept coin reward exactly the same
Yep, it's pretty god damn awful
- Made hellux super duper hard (this alone would've been fine)
- More than doubled the coin price of sup gollux items
- Increased the coin price of gollux scrolls
- Made carries pretty much impossible
- Kept the coin reward exactly the same
Yet there are still people who think this is fine. CoD community is better than this. smh
Id say:
- Remove the 1 key restriction a day and revert back to the 3 key system (in case people DC, which frequently happens)
- Lower the new HP (even a bit is fine)
- Increase coin rewards after defeating it.
- Possibly fix the hitbox (I could fully dodge his seduce gas before, but cannoy seem to be able to do so anymore, even when I see myself clearly away from it).
Everything else from the patch can remain as is.
Great job Nexon.

-Gollux buffed to the point where you have to have 30k+ stats to even stand a chance against it and the hit boxes are broken.
-Familiar drop rates nerfed to hell.
-Certain monsters in the familiar badge collection are unobtainable or had extremely low drop rates even before the so called "fix"
-Broken potential lines.
-Familiars not being saved properly
This right here is how you kill your game, by making progress impossible for newcomers. I feel sorry for the new players that are joining due to the closure of MS2 and the quarantine.
THIS GOLLUX UPDATE IS AWFUL! It makes progression a lot harder and is just another nerf to new players. And the familiar update is whole other issue itself. Bad update after bad update, I am finding myself losing motivation to play this game.
