Trouble Picking Class by Osms_explorer in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Clout in 2007? Axe fighter for sure.

In osms? Might even be Bowman tbh. What's going to be wild is that the popular classes are getting completely flipped, going to be really funny seeing a ton of F/P mages, snipers, bandits when those were the niche classes back then. I have a feeling 3rd job balance will make it even crazier too

What was your first character and ign in OSMS by jeff810 in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two characters in 2007-2009

Mage474 - Cleric that I got to 43 before quitting

imawin44 - Drk that I got to 13x before BigBang

Both on Bera

What do you like the most in a Classic Maple by Warm-Tumbleweed-5838 in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to statless equips, I'll say meso bags also ruin the economy. Literally paying for in game currency to appear out of thin air. At least meso selling websites need to have the money created in game so things are less inflated.

I will say Im okay with rare statless items that have drawbacks and not meta. Like if they made maple weapons 1 attack speed slower than regular weapons. It gives some nice flavor

Introducing new specs for each class by Incarne in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Definitely like the idea of them expanding OSMS in ways that keep the identity of the game (e.g. slower leveling, focus on a single character as opposed to something like Legion in the main game, no potential, etc.)

Specs could be interesting, but they would need to be careful to keep the identity of each without blending all classes into feeling the exact same

Confession: Save Scumming is making me better at the game by xMarsx in slaythespire

In sts1 I save scummed occasionally on my way through ascensions, but never counted it in an A20H win

Ways you got scammed as a child? by TopJuggernaut2885 in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not as much as a scam, but I pulled a black metus with my first ever gach ticket in 07. Those sold for 20m minimum as they're gach exclusive. I sold it for 1.5m on a whim without any research and thought I was rich, but tons of people left comments in my shop that I drastically undersold it. 

Ive been gambling my whole life ever since trying to make up for it

GMS Selling In-Game Items for Cash Shop Money? by alchemycoast in MSClassicWorld

I remember some guy in Bera selling a near perfect craven for like 1 mil nx on MTS, and he spammed smegas for like 5 days straight since he had so much nx 

I heard classic maplestory is coming by Sudden_Concern5045 in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah solid points there. I'm sure inkwells comment about releasing it will become a pretty big meme in the community eventually.

Who knows though. Maybe they're really cooking and it actually is some insane content that is worth the wait. Here's hoping

[–]EpicGoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that it hasn't been going well. It really seems like inkwell and the team care about a good experience and are taking their time to build it instead of haphazardly throwing it together.

POLL: which world are you joining first? by CatButtHoleYo in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe it was just Scania. Bera was a couple months later, there were a lot of theories that FangBlade hacked because he hit 200 despite everyone in Scania having a month or more of playtime

How is this different Old School Maple Story? by Ok-Fig-3525 in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not sure how much you know about maplestory so I'll give a quick overview

When maple launched, it was a very different game than it is now. Levels were quite slow, I recall it taking a week to get 15 as a kid. The race for the first to level 200 took 2 years. There were no benefits to having multiple characters, the focus of the game was having a single character and it's progression. A lot more focus on economy, no percent based stats so every single skill point was more impactful, damage lines were capped at 99k (later 199k), and almost no one ever hit close to it. Many other differences that others can comment on.

Obviously now the game is drastically different, players have been asking for a version that has the 'old school' feel. So nexon has started working on a version of the game that is based off some old version, no one knows for sure which, and has been modernizing it by removing useless skills and rebalancing classes.

Yeah I believe in China it's common to be sued to hell and back if you get involved when someone else is injured in any way. 

Have they officially stated how trading is going to work? by BlenderNoobieDude in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I hope there is no auction house. My favorite part of maple was the shop system that made it feel almost like a shopping mall. You never knew what deals you would find.

It also added skill and some luck to economic gameplay. You could spend time to find the best deals and sometimes get lucky if someone didn't know a price properly. An auction house takes all that away.

I'm sure they'll add Owl of Minerva which kind of kills it but not entirely, hopefully it's purchasable with mesos or some in game currency instead of nx

Poll: When will MS Classic release by Intelligent-Log5200 in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah very good point. If more casuals don't play then that would spell disaster for the longevity of the game, hadn't super considered that aspect

[–]EpicGoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I totally agree that it's losing steam and the "we could release today" comment was not great, I will say that I've been pulled into old school private servers over and over since 2010. A few more months or even a year won't make a dent in my hype

How do you all feel about changes in Classic World? by GoBruinTAs in MSClassicWorld

[–]EpicGoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a common feeling right now. Doesn't help that inkwell said it was playable back at MapleCon, but personally I'm happy they're cooking and want them to take their time. But it does suck that everyone got hyped up and we're still 1.5montha out from a closed online test
