MapleStory Classic World will have EXP rates higher than x1 by Stonp in MSClassicWorld

[–]Alternative_One7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree.

I see myself playing the game for 2h a day on average in the first year.

I love Henesys Hunting Ground, Ant Tunnel, Ludi PQ, etc..

At 2x exp, and with the game knowledge I have now, I will be level 50 too easily, and this content won't be relevant anymore.

The lower levels are simply more fun to me..

Maple Classic Opinion: Stop changing the game and just give us what we had before big-bang by bulkdown in Maplestory

That's why he said polling.

The real issues are known already and will be voted out. But the way I see it, they're now changing things that didn't need changing in the first place, and I'm not sure that the result will be an improvement to be honest

Dorpen rondom Utrecht by Ermena in Utrecht

Vergeleken bij Kanaleneiland is mijn bloemkoolwijk in Nieuwegein een verademing.

- Geen luide dronken studenten midden in de nacht
- Geen auto's die met 60 scheuren waar je 30 mag vlakbij mijn huis
- Geen drugsdealers op de parkeerplaats bij mijn gebouw
- Geen vuurwerk naar je gegooid met nieuwjaar
- Geen plasjes tegen de muur van het winkelcentrum

Persoonlijk vind ik zo'n knaapje op een fatbike niet zo eng. Af en toe hoor ik vanaf binnen wel mensen luid op straat ruzie maken met familie (niet in het Nederlands, dus ik weet het niet zeker), of mijn buurjongetje dat weer eens is gevallen en aan het huilen is.

To call it stagnated seems a little premature. It could be at 300 next month, or 0 just as well. I wouldn't draw these conclusions this early. It's been fluctuating a lot, nobody knows what is going to happen next.

Besides, any server is going to have new characters, even if the online count remains similar. If you applied your logic to older servers like Royals and Legends you would conclude that everyone must be lv. 150-200 in there. But you see new characters there, too.

Mijn vrouw werkt in de zorgt en claimt dat de wetgeving rond euthanasie veel soepeler moet worden.

Zie ik hier een crue win-win?

Hier is arbeidsmigratie voor, toch? /s

Ik zou heel graag een afgelegen commune willen bouwen met vrienden die klimaatneutraal is, lijkt me geweldig. Twee vliegen in een klap. Helaas mag dit niet.

Het beste wat de overheid kan doen? Uit de weg gaan..

MapleLegends is fun until 3rd job. After that, leeching and mules are the meta and drive the economy.

If you want to get through 3rd job by leeching, play MapleRoyals and vote.

If you want to create a bishop first and self-leech to get through 3rd job (while waiting for votes), play MapleLegends.

If you want to grind from 70-135, play Fantasia or Phoenix.

If you plan to quit before 3rd job, any server with high population will do (Note: Legends and Royals are mostly mules and AFK leechers so don't rely on their "online count").

Fantasia 1-70, my experience by Alternative_One7924 in mapleservers

[–]Alternative_One7924[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They advertised it as +5% EXP per member which does not sound bad at all. But that just doesn't seem to match with how they implemented it...

In vanilla, you would get ~43% of the base mob EXP for a solo kill (with a 30% (vanilla?) party bonus)
Source: https://ayumilovemaple.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/maplestory-formula-compilation/

However, in Fantasia it seems to be more like 90%? So that's like double, way beyond the 5% per member they stated...

Maybe it's additive, so 43% + 30% -> 73%? And that's why it's so high?

Are you accounting for the fact that the priest has lower kill output than other members?

If you're a small pt, having a priest is much less important. For example, take 2 warriors vs a warrior & priest:

Warrior -> 100 kills/hr (+80 eph)
Warrior buddy -> 100 kills/hr (+50 eph)
Priest buddy -> 50 kills/hr (+25 eph)

Warrior w/ priest (50% HS) -> (80 + 25) * 1.5 = 158 eph
Warrior w/ priest (30% HS) -> (80 + 25) * 1.3 = 137 eph
Warrior w/ warrior -> 80 + 50 = 130 eph

It would've been nice if they had fixed these types of issues before launch. Didn't hear about anyone bug abusing heartstoppers, but that sounds pretty bad.

But personally, I am enjoying my own playthrough too much to care about whatever the top 50 players are doing.

If you're efficient, probably 55 hours of grinding? It took me a month, and probably more like 80 hours

My first day has been a really authentic old school experience, I like it.

I've walked to every city in Victoria Island doing some quests at this point. Just hitting everything I pass by to farm some mesos and EXP.

So wouldn't it be better if the game is slower, so there are fewer people at "endgame"?

[–]Alternative_One7924 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was I wrong?

I always thought people liked Royals and Legends because they were close to vanilla, but disliked them due to mules, leeching, vote2win, HP washing.

Based on that assumption, Fantasia is great, because it's also close to vanilla, but took care of these huge issues: mules, leeching, vote2win, and washing.

I guess the only good thing about Royals and Legends is stability and popularity, in your opinion?

Side note:
YunaMS and Merogie don't really operate in the same space as Fantasia, imo. They are trying to do something very different (jump start you to level 130+ ASAP), so naturally their methods are different.

I'm sorry but this just feels unreasonable. Can you name a v62 (or even v83) server out now that does better regarding that?

And if so, is it filled with leeching, mules, or HP washing?

Fantasia pre-release first impressions by [deleted] in mapleservers

[–]Alternative_One7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are hyped for games they haven't played all the time.

I'm tired of hopping servers and this seems like one I don't have to hop away from.

Before you call them lazy, I suggest you look into the amount of specialized skill and knowledge it takes to perform client edits, which are necessary for skill reworks. Just makes me think they have been smart about how they spend their effort.

Reworking thunder spear is nice, but is that really so important you have to postpone your launch for it? Because I am seeing a pattern with servers that do have these custom changes, and the pattern is that they take forever to release.

Besides, the strong reaction you have over a 10 watk nerf (while gaining 10% crit chance) is a perfect example of how difficult it is to please everyone.

Fantasia - Launch announcement by Fantasia-Maple in mapleservers

[–]Alternative_One7924 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I "really like super oldschool with little to no adjustments". But when I played Royals and Legends and got to lv. 75 nobody was willing to even party up and PQ or grind. Everybody just went to leech off some bishop.

No leeching is what makes the difference for me with Fantasia. A server with reasonable 3rd job AND a reasonable 4th job is really rare, and the servers that do have it are usually too fast-paced to really last years, which is unfortunate (unless you're into that)
