Today marks the 101st anniversary of when Freud and his bunch sealed up you, O Great One. I am what my "friends" call me Lord. Though I am not sure what I am a Lord of, I'm a Lord to them.

I hear you are looking for a story. A tragic one, yes? Hear me out then.

Three-thousand nine hundred fifty days ago, Maplerary 1st on the 91st year since Freud and his nasty bunch, I was among great opulence. Inherited from my godfather Don, Maple's mafia boss, before even King Von Leon today. In his eyes, I was simply not his nephew but also his avid follower, and a godfather-in-training. Sure I was only 21 Maple years old, but I was already a General of the Crimson Accolades, second highest rank of them all... second only to the title of Godfather. We had various victories in our big-scale war against the Ozone brigade, our rival mafia-military clan, both of our sides had powerful Blaze Wizards and other classes but ours was just slightly better.

...But there was something about the whole war that even though it was a victory for us was a loss for me. While I commanded the 7th division onto the unknown terrain of Northern Heights in the dreaded Blackgate City, the Godfather commanded the Grande Armee of Musketeers (in reality it was a lot of corsairs). Him and I split up, each taking our sides and calling our commands to send our troops in. The Ozones did the same, and so it led to a fierce battle- The Battle of Maas, as our trusty consigliere Weiss called it (We weren't sure what Ozone's consigliere, Austin, named it but that's not the point here).

During the battle, our best Corsair and my brother, D'Artag, was fatally shot in the neck by a rival Corsair, a turning point in the battle. Not only was he our best, he was also a really great friend of everyone, especially to the Godfather, the consigliere.... And to me. He was my childhood friend and partner in crime, we had always helped each other through our toughest times like Helena’s Bowman Instructional School and even went as far to give each other relationship advice like how to make sure Oz, the greatest Blaze Wizard of them all, would not burn us out. We were our godfather's best and only nephews and he had never regretted taking us in after our biological parents divorced and our father, Mario, had died from a saddening heart failure. But before he left us, he told me.. “Listen. I want someone good to take care of you two, like your godfather Don. I don’t want your brother coming out of the bathroom with just his Rare Dellinger Special in his hands, alright? And if you can.. Find him a better gun.” With that, our kind-hearted Don took us in, and we’ve lived in pure melancholy and remorse ever since. I loved my brother immensely, and I would not trade the entire Maple World along with Grandis for him. It was heartbreaking that at the second I saw him collapse with my own two eyes, I didn’t think for a second and ran up to him. I shouted as loud as possible, “Dart? Dart wake up man! We can’t lose here! Not here! Not now!” His eyes were pale as the vanilla ice cream we loved as children, and he responded to me in a a fading tone, and I was barely able to make out what he said… his last words were, “Lord… you have to stay strong. For our godfather…. For us... Pl..ease….. Don’t forget… our promise….”

I was devastated. I was lost. I had no direction in life anymore. I was… resentful. I could not believe my eyes… my greatest and only brother, a rising star among the Crimsons was…. Just gone in a quick flash, a single pull of the trigger from an enemy Corsair’s bullet. But I told a dual blade mafioso next to me in a revengeful tone, face splattered with blood-red… “I will not run. I will not hide. And while I can not guarantee your safety, we will reclaim what’s ours!” The battle that followed afterwards was fierce and we nearly lost all our powerful men and women, but in the end we won.

Back at the secret headquarters over at Showa Town, I made a resolution. I had told Don, in a commanding and almost rebellious voice, “Look. My brother Dart was killed in the battle earlier. I can’t handle this anymore. I can’t have another dead soul rest on my conscious. Allow me to leave to cope with the loss and be my own independent person.” My godfather, rather melancholic at what I had just said replied, “I… I understand. D’artag was our best Corsair and a fantastic brother for you… I’ll let you go.”

Two years later, I lived a simple life in Kerning City. All I ever did was report the weather to the Maple Newscast and by smegaing but that’s all I ever did. It was a repetitive daily, no respect to uphold, no commanding of other people, just report the weather and get a sum of meso.

It’s been eight years. I had played around with the forbidden art of dark magic and chose my path- my power now is to control the weather. With this, battles such as the Battle of Maas will always pointed towards my side. Weather has great effects on a battle, take a look at Mapler Drake’s daring voyage and loss, a failed plan that was due to an unexpected storm- a product of weather. Even for myself, learning to control the weather was no easy task. Making rain out of nothing or lightning appear from nonexistent clouds was a great feat. I got to test this out on some unlucky Maplers…it was satisfying... I felt no remorse, no tears, and no sympathy. It was great. And in those ten years of independence along with weather control, I have drastically changed. I no longer want to see people suffering, trapped in this Maple life of theirs. I want them to be free, be liberated… so that they may roam free in the Maple World without harm or disturbance. No longer will they be limited to their Max HP and their strengths be determined by range and range modifiers like %dmg or %boss. Once they have been liberated, they will have unlimited power to do as they please, and even watch the transcendence do their job. And this. This is why I want a share of your power, O Great One. The destruction of the Maple World is simply a prelude to a new beginning. A new era, free from pain, from harm, from exp loss at death, and from potion spamming. Let them be free, for emotion is just a design error, death is just another falsehood…. And I will show them the very essence of the reality they have been cursed upon.

Bug Type: User Interface

Summary: When star forcing equipment with star catching disabled, the enchantment (and other, like inventory) UI can sometimes freeze up and can't do anything to restore it other than force closing the game.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Star force window
2. Have the [+ Enhance] and [OK] boxes lined up
3. Star force any item and have the "Disable Star Catching" box checked
4. If [+ Enhance] and [OK] are clicked fast enough after each un/sucessful star force, the ui will freeze

To Investigation Team: Does the team ever think about going to the source of most hackers/botters? Like, searching for "MapleStory Hacks" or alike?

what is the best job to play after 5th job update ?
i am looking for fun and good enough for bossing attack speed and decent lines.
damage is necessary too but it will grow with the time XD.

Well I may seem biased here, but I'll do as best as I can. Well, I say you should go main a demon slayer because as said, what is the best job to play after 5th job, and out of the choices given in the poll... I chose demon slayer. Already having a good base normal attack, it becomes even more powerful at 5th job. With the combination of blue blood and its time reduce, your main 5th job skill (normal attack) will do 18 lines of damage in total. Your Secondary bossing skill, Demon Impact, will also be hitting 14 lines in total with added ignore defense and boss damage. Attack speed is decent with most axe weapons giving the fast rating on attack speed and with the skill Battle pact your attack speed will be increased by 2 levels. Demon Slayers were also pretty much made for bossing with Demon Impact (extra boss damage) and Fury Unleashed (Link Skill which gives extra fury return on bosses).

... unleashes its full vitality. Anyways, I showed this to a few people and most of them asked me in shock: What?! How?! I'm just here simply... laughing (a bit). Anyways, its not the Takeno Konoko skill, and it's not the shade link (Before anyone asks, yes it's possible to survive with the Shade link), but the ring. I've tested it myself and it doesn't work on Magnus metors But still, pretty cool that it can survive a cvell beam (before anyone asks, yes I can sit on a chair and survive the beam. Done it before but died at the last second because I casted the skill too early)

Tldr: Krr ring is op, and overlooked. Though it has a major downside (can't move left/right/jump/duck but attacking/using a skill/being knockbacked by a skill like cvell beam is possible) it's still pretty useful as a panic button.
Note: To survive the cvell beam you need a level 3 krr ring
Other note: Do Stellar Dectectives PQ to do it, and most of you are just going to hold spacebar the entire time .-.
