  • Change elite mob drop rate Back

    In a previous memo, I mentioned that the total amount of Cubic Blade, Cubic Chaos Blade, and Flame drops were increased so that they are more evenly dropped throughout the entire day. As a result of this change, some players who had previously been able to receive these items in large quantities may feel a slight decrease in the number they can now obtain after this change. However, the change allows all players across all times of the day a better chance to obtain these drops rather than concentrating the drops to a smaller group of players. We hope this helps further clarify why certain players may feel they are receiving fewer drops.

    This makes literally no sense. If you apply the drop rate increase to the entire day, as previously intended, there would be no decrease.
    Players don't feel like they are receiving fewer drops, they actually are.
    Is there a limit of how many drops can be distributed per day? Because nothing else would explain why a drop rate increase that has been expanded to the entire day would somehow result in a decrease of drops.

    If that is the case, then what else is there an undisclosed limited stock on? Hard boss drops? Marvel items? Philo book items?

  • MVP

    You need to spend 300 dollars per month to consistently maintain Diamond MVP status. Your MVP status is based on what you've spent the past 3 months, and is recalculated when a new month starts. It's not on a 30 day basis from when you "tiered up" (if you did so in the middle of a month it doesn't add those extra days to your MVP status duration for example).

  • Bring these items to Reboot

    Now the reason why is Reboot is supposed to be the non P2W Server but still being able to enjoy the entire MapleStory experience.
    No. Reboot is supposed to be the free option that has other systems in place to balance the experience. This is why there is no market, no scrolling, and everything else that separates it from a regular server.
    Ideally Reboot should have AH & Trading to make the ideal MS Server with direct purchase cosmetics only. No Loot boxes. Alot of other F2P games have that and make out just fine.
    That makes no sense at all. Reboot is about solo progression and grinding for your own progress. Implementing a market (and thereby a black market) destroys the purpose of Reboot and makes regular servers obsolete.
    Your real suggestion essentially boils down to adding the reboot Cash Shop and NPCs to regular servers.
    Also before anyway says Nexon makes all this content for free how are they gonna fund new content? Well there is many ways to increase player revenue without predatory gambling mechanics in the game. They could rework the MVP system into $10-15 Optional monthly sub that players can support the game with, getting a couple of free cosmetics NX per month and other benefits like ESO.
    $300 per month from whales is still way more than $10-$15 optional per month. Most people will not voluntarily support the game as it is now, just for free cosmetics. I certainly wouldn't.
    It's much more lucrative for Nexon to rely on various random reward mechanics because people want or need a certain item right this very second and will gamble for it. MVP is just the incentive/justification to spend that much.

  • Fix/Improve the in-game Macros

    It'd be neat if (for buff macros anyway) there was one special animation per icon that you choose for your macro, and it casts all the buffs in that macro simultaneously with that one animation.

  • why did nexon america stop doing 4th of july event

    Nexon America doesn't just service America though. Like I said, why should the EU branch lose their special events and then be forced to celebrate another country's national day, of all things. It's not a global holiday.
    If Nexon started catering to every country then you'd have americans wondering why they have the National Day of Sweden thrust upon them. And what about my midsummer.

    That aside, those events aren't even good or meaningful anymore. Thanksgiving is another example. Absolute garbage content that only introduces more issues than it's worth. St Patrick's day is really just reduced to green themed sales.
    Christmas and Halloween are more globally recognized, but then again they already closed down HappyVille and haven't brought back Haunted Mansion since that one year.
