  • Return the Determination Ember

    I'm looking at it with how much time it takes to do something, ember generally took me 5-10 minutes (10 is only if I get really unlucky) per pop, so about 25-30 minutes to finish off. The closest thing to Ember, Soldiers, takes twice the time just because the spawn rate is awful without something like Kishin. At the old cap of 10k, you got done in half an hour, with the new cap, it can take an upwards of two or three hours depending on pure luck with Soots and other "events" in Moonbridge. It really shouldn't take two hours to do any dailies. Maple relay being an event based one I will let slide...besides, you can ignore it for half an hour-hour periods AND complete it while doing other dailies. Its about time. I generally spend 80% of my gameplay doing dailies just on two characters...I almost wanna take someone's advice to just do 30k on a couple alts and only capping on main...just so I don't have to deal with the 4 hours of dailies ahead of me. Again, with the Ember, it felt faster, especially when I compare it to soldiers, which generally tends to sit in the 10 minute time slot, hence taking 100 theoretical minutes to complete for only twice the amount of the ember. An hour and 40 minutes compared to what would be an hour if you directly multiplied the ember time by two. This is without the dailies which I am generally tolerating because I usually can strike a convo with the people in Reboot ch 1 to help take up that hour of dailies time. While DAILIES give 30k to the Embers 20k for the same time frame, alt methods for the 20k are generally bad and really time-consuming.

    The current cap is 5x the old cap.

    If the old cap took half an hour, then 2-3 hours is exactly what it would take to hit the new cap with ember given your time.
    30 minutes for 10k 5 times is 2.5 hours roughly.

  • Today unable to get into game at all

    I'm rather confused; there is no ongoing "rainbow" or "dice" event. There have been Rainbow Spectrum events in the past (the last one occurred in February) and there have been Dice Master events (the last one was in April), but there are none ongoing now.
    KMS also does not receive permanent pets or pendant of spirit as compensation. They typically receive Maple Points and such, but I cannot find any indication of KMS even selling a permanent pendant of spirit. Permanent pets, on the other hand, were sold the entirety of last week in GMS for Black Friday sales.

    It would help if you could clarify what you're talking about; what event are you referring to?

  • Are the Fafnir equipment permanent?

    NeospectorNeospector
    The Fafnir set obtained from the Tera Burning event expires after 30 days. The items are epic-tier and are already enhanced to 12 stars.

    This is how it was in KMS as well.

  • Anyone know who the game's voice actors are?

    NeospectorNeospector
    Some players have speculated that Tara Strong voices Beta in Zero's storyline.

    In some of the Maplestory animated shorts, Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt are featured, and Bruno Oliver voiced the Black Mage in the New Leaf Saga shorts. You can find a list of those actors and actresses here:
    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2071131/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm
    Brian Schmoyer, having animated, written, and directed the shorts also voiced a number of characters, however I do know that Schmoyer went through some problems and blames video games for said experiences, so I wouldn't put too much faith in him voicing any modern characters.

    And there's an incomplete listing of Maplestory 2's cast here:
    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9119116/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast
    There may be crossover between the two titles, as the pool of professional voice actors is actually rather small.

    But as far as I know there hasn't been an official cast list compiled. IMDB does not have a page for Maplestory, and as you might have noticed above, their articles are rather incomplete to begin with.

    It's OK little fella I wouldn't expect people who know NOTHING about, "Hacking" to know what is and what isn't.
    The reason you'd use a "Checksum" and to verify the integrity, of the games SIZE

    The minute ANYTHING is injected into a application the file size is altered, a simple check of any kinda injection into game memory would then terminate the game.

    That is not how packets and servers work. It's also not really how applications work in general, but we can ignore that.

    Packets do not alter file size, they're communication between the client and the server. Packet "injection" refers to sending falsified packets to the server to obtain the results you want. Sending more packets doesn't cause the program to become larger (not the least because the program is already compiled by the time packets are being sent).
    A checksum would not provide any defense against packet injection, because the file size remains same.

    Now, there is a form of checksum on packets for smaller amounts of information, usually a parity bit, but again, this doesn't verify data authenticity, it verifies data integrity; it might be able to detect a corrupted packet, but a corrupt packet doesn't necessarily indicate hacking (as corruption can occur in any part of the network).

    Again, I assure you, checksum is useful for detecting data corruption, not verifying data authenticity.
