Oh ! I didn't even see the auction house I was so hyped about other things in that shot.

* No more exp loss when dying at a boss. Finally no more need to carry around more than 1 safety charm at a time (for lag reasons while training)

* Hit rate, accuracy and avoid are finally being removed!

* Improved exp from mobs (you get bonus exp from mobs within 4 levels of you in KMS after this patch, I imagine that is what we will be getting as well)

* PQ and quest reward improvements

* Max level cap removed on some areas (Lord Balrog? Please include lord balrog)

* Name change feature is coming over on a permanent basis

* More inventory slots

* Shared CS inventory within job groups!

I know that most of us knew most of this was coming, but I didn't know about some of it, and its great to finally have confirmation about the features we will be getting

Yes the level limit will be removed from Lord Balrog .

Really hope this breaths some new life in to the game. After this not much content left to add other than older stuff except Kerning Tower of course. So I hope in 2017 they can focus on fixing bugs and bringing back closed off areas/content as well as optimization. Also communicating better and doing something to dampen hackers/gold sellers and more quality of life changes.

Maplers these days are more focused on the solo aspects of the game then people back in 2007 I guess..
Also the game is a lot bigger now so people are more spread out over the world compared to for example pre big bang.
It also depends on how many people are playing in your server of course..

Ask why though they are more focused on the solo aspects?

1 They removed party play at LKC/Stronghold
2 Removed expeditions
3 Removed party play at Monster Park
4 Removed boss restrictions where you need people (Except Ursus and a few irrelevant bosses like Scarlion /Targa who have outdated drops)
5 Removed family/mentor system
6 Nerfed party quests
7 Removed party quests like crimsonwood pq and old ones like carinval


Sure they added the party play zones in the most recent patch but that only for like 7x to 15x . Where as before we had party play up to 200 and beyond before. KMS is packed out! every server I just feel that people would come back if more resources was put in to the global version.

@Varsik I still see plenty of people in Henesys channel 1 in GRAZED but that's pretty much the only place I see many people lately.

Romeo and Julliet pq spawn rate was nerfed in to the ground without active kishin it's rubbish. But it's pretty much impossible to get people together for PQs now due to how low the population is. The instability of the game and the bugs along with things like Kishin nerfing and ninja nerfing ect has chased people away. If they just fixed things it could be popular again but I still

People boss solo because you don't get instanced drops in the most bosses likewise exp, that should change in my opinion. Likewise exping is mostly better off soloing. Those areas I mentioned sure they are great if you can find people....... but it's to late most people have quit.

Reboot is even more negative in a way towards community aspect in my opinion.... due to the lack of trading. Which most people have migrated to. You can just meso farm all day ,gear up>kill bosses all on your own if you wanted.

The game needed to reward players for playing together like it did in the past or they won't when they are mostly better off solo except if you can find a party in that reason. Party quests need an overhaul (I think that's coming soon) Party quests need to be the prime way of gaining exp and rewards like it used to be pre unleashed.

Either fix the beast tamer bugs or get a level 200 hyper like all other jobs.

Hey Maplers!

We are very curious how you felt about our Halloween and other recently added content, so we would greatly appreciate it if you could answer the following questions

• What are your favorite parts of MapleStory’s last few content updates (For example: QoL changes, class rebalancing, Haunted Mansion, Secret Stories, Afterlands or MMF)?
• Do you enjoy story-driven content like Heroes of Maple and Secret Stories? If so, what are your thoughts on our newest story content?
• To you as a player, what is MapleStory’s biggest draw?
• What are your expectations for the quality of MapleStory’s localization?
• Does the localization of recent content fall short of, meet, or exceed those expectations?
• In recent updates, what do you feel we have handled well?
• What could we have handled better?

Thank you very much!

Class "rebalancing" Angelic Buster seems ridiculously weak from what I have found, new sound effects are nice. QOL changes are great I was just disappointed a bit that the party play areas are only for lower levels. I want to see more party quest incentives and making PQing one of the best ways to level up like it used to be. Maybe give reward points for pqing and bossing together or other nice rewards. MMF I didn't have time to do way to many events at the same time...

Removing star planet like removing any content is negative.

The chat filter is still bad

Wedding system seems silly to be an NX based thing

Fishing is pretty bland . I love monster collection although the whole rng factor and not being in level range makes it harder seems silly....

I really enjoyed secret stories (although it still has a few grammar issues) and the haunted mansion quest lines. Not had the chance to try Afterlands out yet though. The mushroom shrine story kind of bored me a little and I find Tengu frustrating to beat I feel I am getting input delay of some kind? (I still haven't beaten it)

The biggest draw is the combat and the storyline content for me as well as the vast amount of classes to play and interesting bosses.

My expectations on the quality of localization are they will never be perfect because they rarely are.

Localization is mostly fine but it's not perfect like I said above

The forums and new site and presentation of the patch previews.

What could you have handled better?The new patch notes are frustrating go back to detailed ones.... and stop ninja nerfing things like reward points from monster collection and the rune changes..... what reason is there for them to not even spawn in lower maps? If I am a 18x Beast Tamer surely what's wrong with them spawning in mutant snails for instance? Also you made 0 notification about this on patch notes.. Better communication, more resources in bug fixing.

You also removed Mr Lee and he doesn't even cause lag we have mentioned which npcs lag and why they lag the event hall.

Also adding the captcha system from KMS on new chars might help with bots. I feel we should get additional options and content from EMS and also stuff we are missing like the auction house (its not bugged....) Hekaton we need ! it's another party play boss . We also need closed off content like crimsonwood pq and haunted mansion back (maybe as a high level theme dungeon?
