Fighting mobs around your level will drop gear around your level. The monster cards are dated, and may not accurately represent the full drop tables.
So on-level is a thing to go, but when I need something specific, the "old" drop cards are a good guide?(less)
If you need something specific, either ask people who take notes of those things or just use memory/grind around.
The cards aren't really accurate at all to what stuff drops what.
It's a slippery slope and it's very easy to be confused on where the line is drawn for both players and GMs.
That said, if hard lines were drawn in the sand on what can and cannot be done … (more)I would be fine with this.
For example, I use a controller to play, technically breaking ToS because of 3rd party software. Nexon seems to turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior already.
I've admitted to using a controller both on forums and in-game. I'm not sure if Nexon has any way to tell in game, but on forums they most certainly do.
There are actually guides on the forums explaining how to do this. If Nexon actually cared about this behavior, this would not be allowed.
I personally believe that Nexon would not care if you were to take it a step further by using gaming keyboards in the way described in the OP.
But again, because hard lines in the sand are not drawn, it is up to the individual to decide what needs to happen.
Some GMs may see that kind of behavior and say "Breaking ToS. Ban." others might say "That's not malicious. No ban."
Other games even allow for direct modifications to the client itself so long as it isn't malicious. (Remove/Change censor anyone?)
Some kind of public acknowledgement on "No, we're not going to ban players for this" would be nice from Nexon.
I think this is a good idea.
If anything, Nexon should add a way to auto - open various use items in games in intervals. I do not really consider it gameplay to repeatedly press and see what node I am getting for hours.
Hot key nodestones to open them. The only window showing what you got that needs to be messed with is the last one. (less)
WHo got the best gear, arcane force and guild. Its an ego trip and the battle for popularity, reputation, etc. I think the game before you appreciated people and the game content.
The game was this in the old days too. Don't pretend it wasn't. Everyone was rushing for 200 or if not 200 they were trying to outgear their friends with scrolls.
"Battle for popularity" do you not remember all the people constantly begging for fame? The game is more or less the same in this regard.
People partied and enjoyed the social aspect of the game. Rn, it's all about the money and stuff that just doesn't make it maple anymore. Maplestory was all about how your story was in-game, trials, challenges, friends, and your journey to 200. You had to really socialize to meet people and have a gang. It was overall a great game.
This is somewhat the same as well. The focus is just on bossing and the journey to 250/275.
Try watching youtube videos of people boss, there's plenty of social aspects left. The issue is that they're after 200, which is a real turn off for new players.
Also for those people who don't mind slower but more social grind, those players are few and far between with no way to connect t
Before it was easy enough because there were so few maps and mobility/AoEs weren't as good.
Now the benefits from party play aren't as clear, and there are so many maps good luck running into one of these people that would actually use it.
MapleStory is better than it has ever been. The community needs to let go of their nostalgia.
Nexon needs to bring back certain stuff but that's not the same thing.
Edit: Oh and.
They should really create an old Maplestory server, and redevelop it slowly with effort, trying make masterpiece
I'd suggest you don't mention that unless you want your threads locked and yourself banned. (less)
