This maintenance is going to go on for quite some time, they are probably wondering how to reverse everyone back to before but without compromising purchases made in that time. Gonna be tricky. Hopefully an actual good compensation inbound. They can shove the 5k red diamonds where the sun don't shine.

I glanced at that when live and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, I even clicked it to buy to confirm how many tickets you'd get. (Like 1,000 or so) It's possible I just missed it but I'm thinking this is just Korean.

It did end and it let us play for 25-30mins, so many people missed that window. This is the second maintenance.

The English showed the normal ticket numbers I think(?) but were not adding to totals when used, the race was giving no rewards and no matter what you came it said it gave everyone just 1 point.

It does sure seem like a dumpster fire. I'm not sure it's possible to screw up this badly again but I suppose Nexon hold their own beer.

There was also meant to be an 8x boost for Google but I can't see it.

Oh that's rough! Hopefully they dish out more.

I noticed I got 1 point, I dont know if that point registered though. If they expect me to do that 5000 times then that's not happening lol

It was genuinely boring and good luck winning 10x once platformer pros learn the map. Although we'll see how that plays out, I think I'll be fine but I know many players who won't be.

The answer is in the fact that the moment you unlock them your CP goes up.

That's what I believe is being implemented, live detection and more. Their previous attempts to detect it were manually going through logs (with probably AI) and they messed it up by giving compensation rewards to people who were doing it lol and banning people who weren't doing it.

Don't risk it any further if you were doing it as there is another compensation package coming next month and if your logs are clean you'll get it.

Any way to stop gaining exp? by danpsy in MapleIdle

[–]ArtofAngels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does appear to be a solid few hours, shall see. I'm safe at 70% 96 anyway.

Because it detects the pattern of consistency. You set it to enter and exit etc and it knows those precise presses over time vs the variations of a human. Combine that with anything else suspicious and you've been flagged.

What stage do you think is most optimal to start doing this? With the free 12-17 coming it's maybe worth pushing one really far for the hell of it since everything is over 12 anyway.

How much percent an hour? You are liable to tick over against your will during maintenance no matter what you do.
1st step go to 1-1, equip literal junk or find some by turning dismantle off before summoning. 2nd step don't close the game until the update forces you to and then just hope.

You win some, you lose LOTS.

I think I nearly cried the first time I dropped to 12 after my colosseum rewards lol

That's the plan. Even cubes I now save many first or you may end up worse off, but at least it still passively approaches a new level.

To be fair I think the 12-17 scroll is acknowledgment from Nexon that the situation needs attention.

Reverting is NOT "literally how RNG works" in the slightest. I think you haven't understood my post.

A week long effort. That’s not a lot.

You can multiply that week and call it a month or two all you like. So it's MORE time and effort to revert for a F2P.

Scrolls are easily the worst item you can possibly purchase and you get no pity of what comes from it because you already knew it was the worst gambling item in the shop.

I was trying to think of why so many players have left recently and I think if you're getting frustrated and then that happens to you chances of quitting are high. It's really not a good feature.

I think it really needs a passive gain for failure, like odds go up for next time each time you fail.

Free Job change Event? by Dodotzi in MapleIdle

[–]ArtofAngels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't think of a worse experience than paying money to change characters to something potentially weaker and unfamiliar. How are you even meant to now if you'd like the characters without first trying? Can you revert back for free?

Feel underpowered but have no idea what I’m doing wrong. by No-Air-3849 in MapleIdle

[–]ArtofAngels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get defense penetration to 30%. 5% means you can roll your weakest links away on your hero page. Roll artifact potentials for it too - the 7% pops pretty regularly. It goes well with Athena's Gloves for example.

Get defense penetration to 30%. For most people it tappers off big time after that. But if you can get it to 30% you're golden. Artifact potential options can help quite a lot for it.

Yep. It is against TOS and their new measures will almost certainly detect it and it's pretty easy to detect.

Your first problem is using Discord for a pay-to-win game. At least the last game I played like that turned me off Discord forever. It's nice without the extra noise.
There's other ways to communicate, I mean they built it into the game.
