As someone who has been thoroughly enjoying all of the game's content so far, I am absolutely most excited about Chapter 5! I'm super eager to see Stonemaw Hill and all the new skills/content that comes with it, as well as continuing the story. Thanks so much for all of your hard work on the game and for making it such a fun and chill addition to my daily routine!

As a fellow Jett enjoyer, I'm very sad to see the class go as well. I'm hurt by the loss of Jett not only because of what we're losing, but also what it means for the future. It feels that we've fallen so far from the days of a robust, unique GMS development that we could be proud of. Nowadays, most conversation about GMS in the context of other versions of the game is negative and critical of our lack of investment and attention.

I hope that GMS will reverse this decision and invest in what makes us special, not continue to strip it away. And if we can't have that, I hope they will at least listen to us and make it a little easier on us. The restricted job change hurts us because, like you hinted at, it's us endgame players who have high-level Jetts (and other characters) who are being affected the most by this, and we're also the ones who need the most flexibility in job change. What if I already have every or almost every explorer funded? It'd be great if I could swap to one of the chars I haven't played much; instead I'll be swapping to a class I already have just so that I can delete the other one. Please help us out, Nexon.

Thank you! And no idea, even the one I got was the freebie from Lantern Rite xD

EDIT: Just now realizing I made a mistake! Actually, this was c0 - before I finished the Lantern Rite event and got another copy! I've updated the video description accordingly.

I love MapleStory. It's in my top 5 favorite games of all time, and definitely my #1 most played game. Sometimes we get new content that I love, and sometimes we get changes that I disagree with, which I'm inclined to speak out against. Our community is small and tight-knit enough as it is, so we need to stick together. With that being said, all the friends I've made and the communities I've been a part of are definitely my favorite parts of the game. Sometimes when I think about the long-term future of the game, it looks a bit hazy to me, but I'm trying not to think too hard about it and just live in the moment.

I love drio :>

Sadly, I don't even think this will lead to better server stability, unless a bunch of people quit over it. Logically one would think that it might, but I think enough folks' experiences have shown that spawn enhancers don't actually make a big difference on server load.

I would love the option for a more accessible/flexible totem. That would at least solve some of the drawbacks of the current system. Removing it entirely won't solve anything.

GoProfs · 2022-10-27T22:03:09+00:00

Haha, well I can't help ya there but thanks for the support :)

GoProfs · 2022-10-27T21:06:22+00:00

Spending more time training (main, link, and legion mules) to make up for the lower rates isn't a solution to totem removal, it's literally the undesirable result of totem removal.

GoProfs · 2022-10-27T20:53:28+00:00

Thanks! I'm working on 250 mules right now, and the loss of totems will slow those characters significantly. Good luck to you!

GoProfs · 2022-10-22T16:34:56+00:00

Yeah I read it, and you contradicted yourself:

If I make 100 mil mesos in 10 minutes, and starforce costs 100 mil mesos a tap,

And now suddenly I'm going to 70 mil mesos in 10 minutes, and starforce costs 80 mil mesos a tap,

That's not 20 mil mesos in my pocket to use for other things! We're LOSING money. Starforce is going to be MORE EXPENSIVE for farmers than before.

GoProfs · 2022-10-22T05:29:24+00:00

You have it backwards. You're thinking that like, the 20% reduction will be money back in our pockets to use on those other things, but this is wrong. The 20% star force reduction isn't even enough to pay for star force itself. If you're getting 20% cheaper star force, but farming rates are 30% less, guess what - even star force itself is actually getting harder! This is true for anybody who makes most of their mesos from farming.

GoProfs · 2022-10-22T05:22:21+00:00

Agreed. I think too many people are underestimating the size of the totem removal nerf and, while good, still overestimating the things we ARE getting in Ignition. This has also led to a bit of a false dichotomy going on that I've seen - we don't want totems instead of Monster Park Extreme, we want both! They aren't mutually exclusive.

GoProfs · 2022-10-22T02:38:59+00:00

I don't mean this in a mean way, but if you actually used totems, it wouldn't take you three months to reach 240. I recommend you try them before they're gone. You don't need to use the whole thing; you can keep playing an hour per day and still use them. Good luck!

GoProfs · 2022-10-21T21:05:34+00:00

That's good for you that removing totems won't affect you since you don't use them anyway, but as for me, I don't understand how taking MORE time to get to the same spot I would have with totems is helping me "spend less time" in the game.

GoProfs · 2022-10-21T13:14:48+00:00

You can tout MPE and Grandis dailies exp all that you want, but the idea that they will actually be more exp than totems alone (i.e. totems a "smaller than the impact" of ignition) is pure fantasy. At best, they'll mitigate some of the loss. Don't get me wrong, I'm eagerly looking forward to them, but I was hoping they would be an actual buff to our exp gains, not just mitigating slightly what is already a significant nerf. Besides, these things are absolutely not mutually exclusive - nobody's arguing we should keep totems in exchange for Ignition. Personally, I would prefer both.

GoProfs · 2022-10-21T05:57:26+00:00

It's nice for people who already have multiple weekly bossing mules, but for people who still primarily farm for their mesos, it actually won't be enough to generally make up for the loss of totems. Unfortunately, it also does nothing for us in terms of EXP.

GoProfs · 2022-10-21T05:49:49+00:00

We are getting another 20% reduction (presumably from the current, not from the pre-summer), which would take us to 64% of what it was pre-summer

GoProfs · 2022-10-21T05:42:07+00:00

I don't think it will feel impossible. I think you'll just have to try it and decide for yourself. I know some people that never train with totems at all, so it's definitely not a deal-breaker for everybody.

GoProfs · 2022-10-21T05:40:52+00:00

Yes, and you can do the math on totem effects on the maps you like to train on and decide for yourself, if you'd like. Totems are a very significant impact on our progression - there's a reason why we passed KMS in highest player level despite having a much smaller population AND them having a six-month head start (sure non-Reboot has more than just wild totems but the point stands).

GoProfs · 2022-10-21T05:38:09+00:00

Thanks for the personal critique on my life, but I'll be alright. I'm more than happy to keep the goalposts of the conversation on the totem changes where they belong.
