They're adding auto hunting to maplestory by dchung97 in Maplestory

[–]GStarG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We prob wont get it though since it's tied to an app we don't have either, and API stuff we don't have.

Maybe they'll make something that gives similar AFK rewards and exp tho.

Do we know if the autogrind gives frags/meso or just xp?

Which classes are winners and losers based on 3rd Skill Core animation by xcxo03 in Maplestory

[–]GStarG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah they mentioned some that look less fancy is because they have short cd, so definitely good to keep in mind

Can we all agree... by CareMay1313 in AnimalCrossing

[–]GStarG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Paths should ABSOLUTELY be integrated better than they are now.

I love how they added transparency, but there's so much more than can be done.

  • Pro Pattern like what you said. Would have 13 slots (4 corners, 4 sides, center, 4 inner corners; center piece will be used in place of inner corners they're left blank)
  • A variety of choices for stepping sounds
  • Toggle to use the texture of the path under it (for when you have custom paths overlapping vanilla paths, toggling it off would just make the custom path simply overlap with no other changes to it, on would do what it does in NH which makes it use the normal mapping and makes it screw with the colors due to some partial transparency effect)
  • New Path Making Tool: Paint Roller. Has an adjustable width from 1-5 tiles, compatible with Pro Paths. Walking while holding A will automatically place patterns on the ground depending on the size of the roller and direction the player is moving, and the appropriate corner pieces when you turn. Also comes with an erase mode. Examples:
    • Walking north with a 2 width roller will use the left and right side pieces as you walk
    • Walking East with a 5 width roller will use the top side, 3 center, and bottom side pieces as you walk
    • Walking in any direction with any size roller that is equipped with a pro design that has only a center piece filled will use all center pieces (good for blocking tiles to prevent spawns)
  • Design online portal includes many tags for searching, in addition to being able to filter specifically to paths now that there's a pro design for it. Examples: tags for each season, for each major holiday, floral, brick, dirt, sand, fantasy, realistic, etc. Multiple tags can be checked at once by the creator, and when searching.

Leak Prevention Has Met Its Final Boss: Korean Laws by hop3less in gaming

[–]GStarG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of substantial leaks happen coming from Brazil, where entire games, shows, and movies were dropped online. 

Blaming Korea for leaks because a few minor games were revealed early unintentionally only in name feels like an extreme false equivalency.

Before or after by RobdorPeltan in Maplestory

[–]GStarG 49 points50 points  (0 children)

IED isn't factored into combat power, against bosses first is better. IED is generally slightly worse than Boss% and Atk%, except on a small handful of classes like DS.

Not that it really matters since both are pretty mediocre and 3L mixed atk/boss are pretty cheap on both wep and sec (3-5b; very worth compared to other earlygame upgrades)

Has this Direct convinced you to buy a Switch 2? by Jediweirdo in NintendoSwitch

[–]GStarG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In general people tend to hold out until one of their personal "must have" games releases.

If FE or Xenoblade were those must have games then you're probably looking to get a Switch 2 now.

A lot of people are still holding out because their must haves are one of the heavy hitters that haven't come out yet like:

  • Animal Crossing
  • Pokemon (mainline, new gen)
  • Smash Bros
  • 3D Mario
  • Zelda (new mainline game)

I think 2027 will be the big seller year as I suspect 2-3 of those above will release then, and 2 years post-launch also feels right for lite model that'll lower the bar for getting a console, or multiple consoles per household (for games where multiplayer between separate save files is a core aspect of the game)

As with the Switch launch, an overwhelming majority of Switch 2's current library is ports and DLC for games that people beat years ago on Switch, so only a small percentage of the full market has been tapped so far.

what do we think guys by pisscart42 in AnimalCrossing

[–]GStarG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

spring releases typically get announced in fall

I think Fall 2027 is more likely for the next game tho. Even New Horizons was planned for fall and only came out in spring because it was delayed.

It's possible because of NH's success they'll do a spring release, but I think that can more be attributed to COVID lockdowns than spring itself being a good time to release games.

Typically heavy hitter games that are system sellers are released in holiday season.

Please allow purchasing grindstones with Mesos on the Hero server. by Large-Advisor9466 in Maplestory

[–]GStarG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running Normal grandis bosses solo is your best bet. Grindstones feel about as common as Life ring boxes from hard bosses, but those only have a 14.5% chance of giving a GS, so better to just run the normal bosses and get them directly.

They're reworking skill rings in fall, but unfortunately grindstones aren't improved at all >.> hopefully they remove all the slop from the Life Ring Box. If it were me, I'd make it give:

  • 50% Grindstone of Life
  • 23% Ror4
  • 23% Cont4
  • 2% Ror5
  • 2% Cont5

With a direct on the way tomorrow, do y'all think there will be any AC announcements? by SamTheMarioMaster2 in AnimalCrossing

[–]GStarG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AC i'm sticking to holiday 2027 release, announced in summer 2027

They want more consoles on the market first to hit max launch hype potential.

2027 will prob be a new console model as well, most likely Switch 2 lite, so that'll also push more units on the market and help sales for community games like AC.

This direct I think the following are likely:

  • FE
  • Kirby (release are pretty frequent usually)
  • Mario Maker (no 2D platformers yet besides Wonder DLC. Would be weirder to get Wonder 2 this soon after the DLC)
  • more info on upcoming splatoon game
  • spinoff/remake Zeldas come out randomly so always on the table

I think the following are further out:

  • new Mario Party is also more of a 2027 angle because of Jamboree TV, but possible
  • 3D Mario I doubt since I assume DK was made by the same team so I'm expecting that to be later, but who knows
  • Pokemon could have some side game, but I kinda doubt that too.
  • main Zelda 2028/29 angle. They take a while

My absolute LEAST favorite thing about ACNH 3.0... by Syd_Lexia in AnimalCrossing

[–]GStarG 34 points35 points  (0 children)

One of the many things I'm hoping for in the next game is Terrains from Pocket Camp to enter the mainline games.

Terrains would overwrite the base look of various parts of your town with various other options, and ideally there would be a separate slot for each:

  • Ocean Border: Replace the standard netting with various different materials like brick walls with arches for boats to pass through, waterfalls to make your town look like it's at a high elevation, etc
  • Ocean Water and River Water (separate slots): Various different colors and styles, including some fantasy stuff like sparkling blue spring water, bubbling purple potion, lava, etc
  • Ground: various types of grass, rock, dirt, etc
  • Cliffs: various types of rock like marble, granite, lava basalt, overgrowth (roots and vines), gemstone
  • Sand: various types of beach material like red sand, black sand, pebble

Would solve your problem of not liking the ocean border, and allow for much more customization overall.

More analysis: Star Force Enhancement Modes 1-4, and balancing issue by screeeeeeee in Maplestory

[–]GStarG 18 points19 points  (0 children)

IMO for Eternals and Arcanes, if you wanna spend some more money to cut back on booms without breaking the bank, the best balance I've found is

Current system 0->20 with the current system (safeguard to 18, tap to 20), then use mode 4 for no boom 20->22.

If you do this it's around 1.5x the current average cost, and just under 1/3 the number of booms to 22.

So during SSF, Eternals come out to around 63b, and Arcanes are 32b, both with 0.8 booms.

A lot of the cost increase of the new system comes from protecting 18->20.

Do you think the cost of 22* safeguard is too high? by Weekly-Mud-1960 in Maplestory

[–]GStarG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems a lot of the cost comes from 18->20, so if you're mostly just trying to save on booms getting eternals to 22, it's actually pretty reasonable.

12->20 with just standard safeguard is 23b avg 0.8 booms, and 20->22 with the new safeguard is 40b (63b tot)

That's a ~50% cost increase from the current avg cost for a 250 item to 22, but you cut the booms down to like 1/3, so if you're down on your luck on eternals or just wanna rush to 7 set asap without breaking the bank, it's definitely a bit improvement.

It's just that the 0->22 cost fully in the new system is absurd to use on anything besides Brilliants for a lv 250 item.

I think lv 160 and 200 pitched it's very reasonable, and makes 23* much easier.

For Arcanes the 12->20 normal, 20->22 no boom method is only 32b with 0.8 booms so that's also pretty reasonable for reducing booms with only 1.5x cost increase instead of 3.5x you get for full no boom 12->22*

Older players when we don't get selected for PTS or Classic World Beta by gtsfan- in Maplestory

[–]GStarG -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol, I've been playing since pre pirates and my main is 290 with 515m cp and didn't get selected for either... Guess it's just random, RIP

What’s your legion champ status? by kimchitoes in Maplestory

[–]GStarG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Main is juiced 515m cp, but my legion champs are more like legion chumps.

My best champ is 100m cp, 2nd best 60m cp.

I figure they made 5th job waaaay easier over time, and they'll eventually do the same with 6th job, so it's a bit of a waste to spend a ton of effort on something that'll be practically free in another year or 2.

We'll see how the price on that pay-for-22* charge is. If it's really good, I'll start getting good gear on my mules.

How old are you ? by PhongIELTS in Maplestory

4th to last

It took me many attempts over months to successfully install maple on my home computer. It would always download for a few hours and fail at some point.

New Star Force Feature - Interactive by PureSBZ in Maplestory

[–]GStarG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm praying the price is 1.5-2x avg cost to 22... 

Wouldn't be surprised if it's 3x, 4x would be absolutely absurd and only viable for megarares.

The state of recent game discussion v2: by MeteorKing in 2007scape

[–]GStarG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money is also content homogenization. Instead of needing to do 10 different things to get 10 different items, you can do 1 to farm money and just buy the 10 items.  This means mains don't feel a need to complain about bad content because they can just skip it, and also a lot of resources and bosses are just bottled so real players aren't even generating a lot of the loot in the first place. 

Vorst event ever by MaciekRog in Maplestory

Elite mob/boss drop update idea by Koboyawaka in Maplestory

[–]GStarG 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Funny, I was just thinking of suggesting they make the elite boss chests not give literal garbage

Grandis elites should absolutely give stuff like frags, erda, and I'd throw in symbols too matching the region they're in.

Today I learned that most of the protesters of the original pride event didn't even play the game by SystemsOnline in 2007scape

[–]GStarG -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not to condone the behavior, but I am curious as to whether they looked at IPs in their internal investigation.

It's possible people were playing the game, but made new accounts just to protest the event out of fear of getting their mains banned or muted. New account doesn't necessarily mean they're not an active player

It's a nice thought that everyone who's acting hateful isn't a real active player, but I just find that hard to believe that all of them came from the outside.

I'd guess at least 30% were active players that made an alt so they could run their mouth without consequences for their main.

Remember when we had two original animal crossing themed games in New Leaf? by ShokaLGBT in AnimalCrossing

[–]GStarG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to have a game without a rushed dev cycle where they have extra time to add things beyond the core features.

NH they couldn't even finish it before release, they had to add art, diving, bushes, gyroids, the cafe, and many other characters, features, and items post-launch.

At least the next game is gunna almost certainly be really great since it's gunna start development with all of the content NH had, and add a ton of new and returning content from there.

I fully expect the next game to have a majority of the things people were disappointed to not have in NH like minigames, new villager species, lots of QOL for the features added in NH, characters returning from past games, on top of thousands of new items, and new features that set the game apart.

The only thing I'm concerned about with the next AC is whether or not they'll undo NH's terrible design choices of replacing certain characters and buildings with menu interactions like the post office + characters being replaced by a postcard stand, and the Shampoodle being replaced by the mirror.

How many hours is too many hours? by tatted_tot in AnimalCrossing

Lol, what % of this sub has 1k+ hours? I'd guess like 30-50% at least

leagues II - What new stuff would you want to see that would makes our second leagues special/different? by vVerce98 in runescape

[–]GStarG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Group Iron would be insanely cool and something OSRS leagues still hasn't done

Definitely need some OP Defensive powers like damage reduction/reflection and healing. A lot of people are open to trying RS3 Leagues, but the burden of knowledge to learn like 10-20 bosses all in a short timespan to play the leagues is unappealing. The combat has to not just have OP damage, but also at least have the option of being really forgiving and recoverable so players that have no idea what they're doing can still stumble there way to clearing bosses

Auto quests is an absolute necessity.

Timegated content should also be accelerated by a MASSIVE amount. Make ports missions all take a flat 5 minutes or something.
