New Gollux still sucks, but I'm done whining

Time gating EVERYTHING isnt the solution, you seem to love kms, and kms doesnt time gate as much as they are recently doing in GMS, Look at nlc revamp, thats some amazingly time gated **** that kms doesnt have, yes kms has time gated stuff, but not as much and as bad as gms in some aspects.
heck im 40k stat and fking need to burst with every single skill i got to be able to kill itt, its even harder that cpap to me , which makes NO SENSE AT ALL FOR OLD CONTENT NEXON.
I like the gollux restock but i dont think it was necessary to freaking buff that much gollux and make the restockable items such a time gated thing.
If you read the other thousand threads on this issue I already agreed that the time-game might be excessive. (Nexon VFMs, Merge threads moar plz?)
But that I still agree with buffing the boss. The level increase and buffing the boss should have been enough to put gollux where he needed to be.
They could increase the coins dropped, make him drop all the items (instanced) or just lower coin cost of items.
But I still feel that on the overall gollux is more balanced to where he needs to be, we just need some small tweaks to pull back on Nexon's over correction.
A complete redesign to make this boss actually interesting would be nice too, the whole Gem DPS Check thing is a bit silly.
Why give gollux a long timer to kill him with if the only thing that matters is how much time the gem allows you to kill it?
Still hard gollux is like doing CRA, which isn't that bad and completely doable without high end gear (ppl used to clear CRA with empress gear and without star force).
And for those who are saying that kms doesn't time gate, their BiS accessories (same as here) are pitched boss set which take about a year to get if you're lucky.
The carrying in gollux was damn broken. that 1 guy could carry 5 persons/day is quite ridiculous. Maby it would be decent if everyone gets that 30 coins and not just one getting that, since still the coins are wanted there, not the drops except for superiors
Why can Basic Gollux scrolls only be purchased with regular coins? People who are working towards killing hard gollux (which has more HP than pre-nerf hell) would only be able to use clean solid equips if they plan to get everything themselves. The only way for somebody who can't kill hard to get scrolled solid equips would be through the auction house, but people who are strong enough to obtain basic scrolls have no incentive to do so when there are more profitable options available.
If you like playing this game when you got a job, a family, having an actual life....this change is pure bs.
People saying you need to spend time to get end game gear are clearly doing nothing all day but sitting on their ass playing Maplestory.
When I get some from work, did some cooking, finished diner, hugged my wife...i'm off to my dailies for the rest of the evening.
Even without Gollux this was taking enough time already.
These days when you start out Maplestory as a new player, you need to ask yourself if you're willing to keep playing the game till your 80's.
If not, you'll be stuck playing 1 or 2 mains and you'll never get a good taste of the other classes.
I'm at the point where I can do hard gollux quite easy, like 4mins.
Gives be crappy stuff and around....16 coins or so.
So to get 1 character a full set of gollux gear it will take over half a year o_o And we got like 30 jobs or so? (lost track xD) So it will take you only 15 years to just get Gollux gear on all of time.
Yea fair enough i'd say f3
Exactly this. I couldnt agree more with you.
So people who spend less time in the game should have the same progression as those who "doing nothing all day but sitting on their ass playing Maplestory" right?
It's equal opportunities, not equal outcome my man.
Also, Gollux is not the end all be all gear... people were already relatively strong before Gollux was even a thing. There are other rings/accessories to replace the Gollux items. But if you're so caught up in having the BiS, then I don't know what to tell you.
Personally, someone with "a life" shouldn't be stressed out over it. Just saying.
I want a life too so I stop playing when I need to, and won't get the same as those who do nothing but play. Everyone gets that.
But, do you realize it takes 3 to 7 months of daily Hellux, who now is as hard as Lotus, to get the same results as what 2 or so months did previously? From a game designer perspective the time it takes is ridiculous. It stops a lot of people from playing it, a lot of people who could be the ones promoting your content and who want to keep playing. And I don't mean people who are too weak to do Hellux. People who can do it probably will sit out of this one because the grind is stupid insane (and probably already have full superiors to even care).
The people who are "doing nothing all day but sitting on their ass playing Maplestory" is the minority, and even those would realize that 3 to 7 months is an absurd amount of time to grind anything.
Yeah, but you do realize you DON'T have to get Gollux gear immediately to play the game. I wonder how people functioned before Gollux.
It's going to take some time to get full Gollux gear...what's wrong with that? It'd be wrong if the ONLY way to progress through the game is with Gollux gear. However, that's not the case. You can find alternate accessories to replace Gollux stuff or use them as a place holder until you get it.
If you are considering Gollux accessories to be end-game gear and BiS, then personally, I think it's not a bad idea to start moving in the direction we are going now. It just boggles my mind how many complaints there are about "the good old time" of Maplestory where it takes eons to get to level 200...but as soon as anything changes so that it takes time to obtain, many people flip the switch.
But if you're really that upset about people who had Gollux gear already before the revamp, then I honestly have no argument for that. Except that life's not fair. :shrugs:
The problem is that it takes way too much time for one accessory, even compared to KMS content. One month per accessory with a daily boss is ridiculous. Neither CRAs nor Absolabs take that long, and with those is a once a week affair, not a once everyday for 3-7+ months if you were unlucky to not have gotten it beforehand, 7 months is not "some time".
Want to make Gollux and endgame boss? That's fine. But make the time to get his stuff sensible, 7 months isn't. I already have a full Gollux set anyway, my problem is not getting it now, bad game design just annoys me.
Absos might be quite easy to obtain since they only need 1 boss clear+2 weeklies+couple of extra cores/equip but those aren't really end game, umbras are and those take quite a while of obtaining from coin shop. CRA items are quite old and for some reason the only top+bottom set around so ye those are easy to obtain but i really hope that there will be another top+bot set so any BiS items wouldn't be obtained within 2 weeks of starting the game by their regular obtaining methods, buying is still option.
And tbh if you go for BiS just forget gollux except sup ring+1 sup pend since pitched set will be better.
Arcane Symbols and Pitch Set taking some time at least have a good reason. Its the absolute endgame and there is nothing after it, so if everyone just got max level symbols right away there wouldn't be much to do afterwards. They'll get easier as new endgame content gets released and the Arcane River is no longer the end (assuming the game lives long enough for us to see it in English).
And if Gollux, like Absos and CRAs are not the true BiS items like Pitched or Umbras are then why do it takes the same amount of time an Umbra would? Wouldn't it make sense to take the same amount of time an Abso takes to get since it is in that tier?
Nexon's solution: make abso take longer
Hey now don't go giving them ideas
Coins are no longer shared. Have fun.
Basic Gollux Accessory Scroll will now be sold in Randolf’s NPC Shop for 40 Gollux Pennies.
