  • From an old mapler, my rant about the game

    MageOfBattlesMageOfBattles
    IAmMerciless wrote: »
    Hello, and as you can tell by the title this is my rant about what I personally think of the game now at its current stage. MapleStory what the f*** did you guys do? You abandoned

    all your old and committed players for a new generation. Pre big bang was one of the best times I ever had, MapleStory was a game I played for hours growing up, it made me

    truly happy. Back when there were only 4 classes, and Aran just coming out was an amazing time. You needed a team to do bosses and team up to clear hard maps, now all I see

    are classes soloing bosses and hitting one button for an AoE spell that clears the entire map. I miss the old days when their was balance and teamwork and communication with

    the community. If you played the game after the big bang update you have no clue what I am talking about so it probably sounds like rubbish. Us old maplers really wish you guys

    didn't throw us in the dirt like this, community feedback didnt mean anything? Everytime I hear the song " missing you " from MapleStory it really hits me how the game has

    changed to a button smashing game of who has the most flashy abilities and how fast you can do it. What happened to the teamwork of PQing with your friends to go take

    down a boss? It is so EASY to level up now its ridiculous, I doubt any of the members will even care for this post but I am doing it anyway for me. All the effort and grinding and

    time I put into this game only to see that now people can hit one button and do what I did in one goddamn day. I miss stuff like waiting on the rope for your MP to regen, this is

    the same with every game.. sucks you guys will never help your old committed players.. goodbye to one big part of my childhood..

    Frankly, the old Maple was too slow. Everything changes, it seems like a lot of people can't understand that. If Maple was still like it was back then, I kid you not, Maple would be dead. With all the other MMO RPG's out there, Maple would've died out. People wouldn't have time to take a week to get to 2nd, or a couple months to get to 3rd. And even if there were those that got to 200, there wouldn't be anything left. Also, there's still teamwork, I don't see people solo-ing the most recent bosses. And the community's still alive, there's plenty of good guilds out there.

    I'd still say that the classes are balanced (For the most part), and I'd definitely say that a good chunk of classes aren't able to clear the entire map consistently. Yeah there's full map attacks, but remember the genesis spam? Yeah it's easier to level up now than pre BB, there's a higher level cap, with more content that pre bb could ever hope to have. I find it silly that you miss waiting on the rope, not doing anything. I really find that hard to believe.

    This isn't a matter of "helping your old committed players", I don't see in the first place why you need help in the first place. You want the slow leveling? Go get to 220, or even 210 and start grinding. You want teamwork? Go do ursus with friends. If anything, it's on you for thinking that nothing would change over the years. Big Bang should've blatantly told you that.

    Where is the transparency Nexon promised us a while back with that major poll? I ain't see any.

    Right here:

    There's not much I can say that has been officially confirmed and hasn't been said already on one platform or another:
    • The bans are being looked into
    • If you or a friend has been falsely banned, you/they should submit a ticket through the official channels and be patient

    Maybe I'm just being weird, but I really wish that Arwoo posted these things on the official forums. I think a lot more people would see his posts, or if he could make posts on multiple platforms that'd be great.

  • Create a 5th job skill!

    MageOfBattlesMageOfBattles
    As we've seen, 5th job opens so many possibilities for all classes. So many new concepts to create! So why don't we take a break from all the doom and gloom in the forum lately, and dream up some fun ideas for 5th job skills! Describe it however you like, just basic concepts or maybe think up damage %'s, cooldowns, whatever you want!

    Me personally, I'd love to see Twister Spin make a triumphant return to Battle Mages, and it'd work a lot like Shade's hyper attack.

    Skill description: Unleash a dark vortex of electricity to swallow up your enemies. Key down skill. Invincible (Or have damage severely reduced) and immobile while using the skill.
    Duration when skill key is held down: 10 (Leveling the node increases duration for a max of 15 seconds)
    Damage: 750% 1 time each second
    Extra effect: 50% chance to inflict the dark shock debuff (When an enemy is hit after receiving the dark shock debuff, the debuff is removed and the enemy take 4 lines of 350%)
    Leveling the node increases the chance to inflict the debuff (For a max of 75%).
    Cooldown: 60 seconds

  • Custom Forum Avatars

    MageOfBattlesMageOfBattles
    So we were promised these... Around two years ago now? It's not the biggest deal in the world, but it's really stupid that it's taking so long. It's a custom avatar. The old forums had it, I have no idea why this one can't. It says a lot that something so small and simple has taken so long. Maybe I'm missing something and there's some convoluted process that's proven to be an amazingly large undertaking.

    I'd rather be told that something isn't coming for the foreseeable future than be lied to. Absolutely ridiculous.

  • Think About This when Cheating Online Games

    Worse is that the profession gauge (Alchemy, Smithing, Accessory Crafting) for each character degrades overtime if nothing is crafted within a certain period of time. And like before, EVERY... MILLISECOND ...COUNTS.

    It was not until 3 years later that I finally decided to retire from the official MapleStory game and decided to join a private server (even though I knew it might get me in trouble). It was there I finally got my education on what "server" means in the MMO community. You know Scania, Bellocan, Galicia, Arcania, Renegades, ETC? These servers kind of act like Chat Rooms from the old days of computer technology. I finally learned that a private server acts like a sort of privately owned chat room. And that was when I realised I could've played MapleStory much more casually and had better grades on my school exams back in high school.

    I'll agree with you on the profession gauge, I've never gotten past level 10 because of it depleting over time.

    ... What? You've been playing in a private server? Most likely one with vastly increased exp and drop rate? And you're still complaining about all of this? *Sigh* It's a moot point at this point, since it doesn't seem like you're too interested in MMO's anymore. But there's one more thing: You need to stop blaming your real life problems on games. I'll say this clearly: It is not Maplestory's fault that you got bad grades in high school. The sooner you stop blaming games for your problems, the better.
