Would be nice to have a path for older 210+ chars
There are a lot of things I like about how Maplestory has evolved and some things I miss but one issue I have is that there is not a really great way to work on chars that are over 200 without reburning them. I mean reburning them gives you a pet that can buff you and resets your Vanishing Journey/later maps if you don't want to go through those storylines yet another time. But I also put a lot of effort into those characters and some of them have stuff I can't transfer that gets deleted when I re-start. All but 6 of my characters are 210+ So the burning to 150 tokens are useless to me (I have one beginner (which is probably enough for me) and one dupe (it seems like with the upcoming legion stuff dupes are going to be less useful and their is only some many character spaces) and EG potions aren't that much better.
When the 1-200 burning events happen, I usually don't mind reburning the level 200ish chars but it is a bigger issue with the 210 ones (I think 35? of my chars are between 210-215 and a lot of them got there the hard way). I didn't always finish the new maps they started. A lot of them are in the early stages of VJ (although for some it is later maps like Reverse City or Chu Chu) I face the choice of grinding through those maps. Which, honestly is not as much fun after the first 20 or 30 times, or essentially bricking their progress. I can bonk them or have them sit in a playground but they won't be able to get the arcane symbols which kind of ruins them.
If I do a 1-200 burn, I lose all their unique stuff (including quest rewards - I did wings of fate and the afterlands on a lot of them) and typically downgrade their legion block and possibly legion size and am committing myself to extra effort to get them back to 210+ since there are only so many events that take you above 200. I wish MS would give chars that started these new map quests BEFORE the ability to skip had a chance to skip to the next option. And that you could choose to use a char over 200 for higher level burning without losing the unique stuff and memories. It is almost like being punished for spending a lot of effort to get these characters to 210, participating in prior events and getting stuff that doesn't transfer, and doing quests on them the way it is currently set up.
I also would like to see more gameplay that rewards not just grinding but actually playing on different characters for fun. Right now it all feels like xp waste that is going to be useless long-term because you probably will wind up having to re-burn any progress.

i'am 3 month off of 2 years gameplay and my current progress is
275 Khali
265 Kinesis & Kanna
261 Wild Hunter
260 Shade & Night Lord
Mercedes 253
Demon Slayer 250
T-Break 240
Dawn, Buc, Demon Avenger, Corsair, 236
34 other classes are at lvl 220
1 is at 219
and last 2 are 210
all my 260+ are hyper burning(except Khali)
220-235 take roughly 35-40 min over 16 days doing just M-Park and Dailies
lets say you do it for a whopping 1 year non-stop...thats 24 characters to 235 if they started at 220
i'am not counting event lvling potions, lvling maps(Strawberry for example), or even sunny sunday(250% M-Park exp)
1-200 is gonna be a comple skip in a 3-5 months...they be giving 20 potion sending a new char straigth up to 200
wtv left over you have u can consider them done soon
Wings of Fate you'd have to be as crazy as i'am to do it on mass characters
i cleared it on about 44-45 classes......i haven't done it in months though......screw that...no more suffering for me
Afterland however thats quick if u do it right...roughly 40-50 mins to clear...not 3 hours like wings of fate
you can do Afterland and Wings of Fate quests at any level but its recommended to do Afterland at 75(as soon as its unlock) while its worth some decent exp for clearing it........Wings of Fate is entirely optionnal.....get carried in hard Magnus for Tyrant Cape(open boss ui and request a carry)
not rly sure why you say you loose the rewards but the questlines are alway available, and they dont dissapear from your inventory either when you lvl up unless you discarded them then thats on ya
i dont think NX gonna accomodate for 0.05 - 0.1% of the player base
....even for a small 5% its unlikely they do any change..but 10-15% they might consider
the quote post.....Arcane River quest.....thats a different thing.....but Afterland/Mush Shrine never had a skip option......idk if the patches change something to make it impossible for you to finish them
regarding Arcane River ya that be a pain....but did you seriously start the questlines on 35 chars SIMULTANEOUSLY ?
well either submit a ticket to have it all reset(if possible at all).....or get to it and clear it all this once(endure the pain)...
either way your posting at least 2 years late about it...and in my case well.....i wasn't around 2 year back so... nothing i'd say would help ya
and your thread title isn't very indicative of what you want either...like too big wall of text mentionning different things
i recommend to make something like this
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
thread name: "can you let us reset Arcane River questlines ?"
your msg should be
"i'am a returning player thats been on a hiatus for 2+ years and i started the Arcane River questline pre-skip era on mass multi-characters
would it be possible to have an option to skip despite starting those quests on multi-alts ?"
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
just like this...simple, and not eye burning for the devs...they dont like reading wall of texts, just like you dont
Afterland and Mushroom Shrine questlines in a SEPARATE THREAD.....and keep it as simple as possible
characters levels are irrelevant to wut you seek so keep that out
well best of luck to you...remember short,simple and accurate(btw i probably didn't choose the perfect title as a thread suggestion, but i can't be bother to come up with a perfect title,i prefer spend my time on something else than thinking up the perfect name when its not for myself XD)
Thank you - no not at the same time - over about 18? years of playing but different events helped raise a bunch of them over 200 and when I wound up going on a char that was over 200 and playing - I typically would try to get through 5th job and advance as much as I could (I had no idea skipping VJ would be an option) - so this was probably serial.
I never actually expect Nexon to change stuff but my theory is if I provide feedback - there is a finite chance they will consider it.
If you're already 210+ I would say the worst part about it is that if you started a questline you'll have to finish it before you can move on, but even that shouldn't take too long, certainly faster than recreating the character.
I don't fully agree with the notion that if you play less than an hour a day maple isn't for you.
You won't be hitting the end-game bosses in a timely manner, but what matters most is that you're having fun.
Daily are far more efficient than any other method in this game so as long as you can login daily and spend the 5-30 minutes doing those on your main then your progression will eventually happen.
Just keep chipping away at it and hopefully we'll get the river mob daily reduction sooner rather than later.
