This is a a somewhat brief feedback post regarding the need for optimization in this game.
As it currently stands, I and several of my friends experience a minor lag spike every 5 seconds (I timed this). The lag/freeze is for the most part, visual. Sound tracks continue to play and as far as I can tell, inputs still register. However visually, the game is frozen.
Some contribute this to incompatible hardware, and this is where I find there to be an issue- I run a fairly upper mid range rig, the following are my specs:
CPU: Core i7-7567U
GPU: Nvidia 1080 FE
MOBO: Asus Maximus Hero VIII
PSU: 800W
Storage: Samsung 256GB SSD
RAM: 32GB Kingston HyperX
I can run most games on maximum graphics settings without losing FPS, however the lag issue happens specifically to Maplestory.
I've seen numerous posts across reddit, basilmarket, the forums or otherwise speaking of users with the same issue. Most attribute this to a coding problem, hence I think there is a massive need for the development team to address this issue somehow.
If there people would like additional information about my problem specifically, or if I need to further clarify any of what I had said, please tell me! The freeze/lag spike every 5 seconds makes the game quite literally unplayable, and in essence disables me from doing any bossing contents. I had tried to get used to this issue for an upwards of maybe 3 years now, and I'm seriously fed up with it (and also being unable to do any of the higher level bossing contents =()
