  • Maple Memo: Global Migration Update

    I repeat. schedule of events for the people of Europe?
    If we put the events at 10 pm we can not do it, we go to bed.
    Thats good news! I guess we get to keep supreme medals aswell right?
    Don't rub it in :( I'm still sore that we never got supreme world
    agreed i want supreme...
    I as an EMS player say one thing. Supreme was damn hard. one channel 20 in the same map and all dying. The Medals are very nice and big.
    And when you go to Supreme for the first time you are in Kradia playing just normal and do the quest and the game logs automatically out and you see the character screen than you go to Supreme and you are logged in without PIC. That was so awesome to see.
    That's kind of the point. Some of us want a version of maplestory that has challenging mechanics instead of just massive meatshields for bosses. The new bosses are a step in the right direction, but due to the absurdly high health of them and their absurdly low time limits it doesn't matter because they require such a high range. Supreme world looked fun. It looked challenging in a good way
    Try and make a petition then if every one wants it? Or doesn't work NexonNA like that. NexonEU did sometimes like the "Sinterklaas en Zwarte Piet Event" (Sint-Nicolaas and Piet. Dutch Tradition) And implemented it in game.
    We have a hard enough time getting bug fixes and small QoL features implemented. Petitioning for something on the scale of supreme world would never work. If NexonNA wasn't planning on bringing it over anyway then we will never get it

  • Schedule Maintenance for November 3th.

    I wonder how long that would take
    Honestly not that long. I mean yes it would take a while, but not years or anything. The best way to move forward if they were to do this would be to pick parts of the core engine that they want to fix, rewrite that one part over 2-3 months depending on the size of it, and then roll it out in an update. Then pick another part of the core engine to redo. As part of the same projectwould be to simultaneously remove old data from the client and server side. Removing it at best can remove some sources of lag, at worst it severely reduces the amount of possible exploits in the code and I know Nexon can't complain about that.

  • Schedule Maintenance for November 3th.

    No lag fixed Nexon? For real? So my guess is that this lag was intentional?

    http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/18308/scheduled-maintenance-november-3-2016
    They almost never mention in maintenance notes beforehand if they are addressing lag issues. The lag may get better or it may not.

    BTW its not an easy fix to get rid of the lag. There is over a decade of old, poorly maintained and, I suspect, poorly written code that contributes to the lag. The only way to get rid of it would be for Nexon to suck it up and take the time to almost completely rewrite GMS from the ground up. Remove legacy code. Do a better job at implementing the code from the different regions etc... And of course rewrite the parts of the engine that cause the lag, as well as optimize how many items mobs drop (ie greatly reduce the amount of drops, and increase their value proportionally).

  • My experience helping out Nexon with an issue.

    It's not so much my ideas they hated but what I said to them and also my behavior.
    Haven't heard much from my haters though. I don't keep up with what they do because I just don't care. Last I checked one is banned and probably others quit by now. Now that I think about it, one of them from whom I remember being overjoyed because he got banned, said he had evidence enough that could get me banned too based on our private chats. He doesn't. I've said things that I would be embarrassed now over and got into fights but never said anything or talked about having done something that could get me banned. Sort of derail

    @depressedaran no Maryse was under nda because she is a former volunteer. They just happened to ask her for help I assume to solve a lag problem
    Honestly I forgot you were in the MLC....lol

    And I'm pretty sure I know which member you are talking about. He talked a lot of on Reddit. Overall I believe that the MLC could have been way more successful if Nexon hadn't chosen a lot of streamers to be on it. They seemed to be the problem members (except Bumbertyrr, I know he has a youtube channel, IDK about twitch though, but he always seemed level headed to me). Of course this is coming from an outside perspective so I may be totally off.

  • Old Maplestory nostalgia?

    The only nostalgia I have is missing the sense of exploration that old maplestory had. You could be walking in a map and fall down and die in one hit from the way more powerful golems. Or take a wrong portal and end up in a map with mobs several levels higher than you (which was deadly back then before stats were inflated to heaven). Trying to find my way around, and trying to find/remember all the hidden portals in maps, even the ones that did nothing but teleport you from one side of the map to the other (especially those in fact).

    MS is missing that sense of exploration now because it was dumbed down to be more noob friendly. But even if it hadn't been dumbed down, that sense of exploration wouldn't have lasted this long anyway. I've gotten older, and I would have already discovered all of that by now, so it would no longer be a surprise.

    I miss it a lot, but bringing back old maplestory won't bring that same sense of exploration back with it. Best to let it stay as fond memories instead of trying to bring it back and having those memories of it ruined
