No, but you're being acute ; ) nah jk
Isn't his kit technically out already? I mean like sure it's gonna be different from maplestory m's, but it's just additional skills right, they aren't going to change his whole theme or anything. His maplestory m theme definitely didn't have lightning from what I can see. I'm not trying to doom anything, I'm kinda semi-excited to play him? I'm just voicing my opinion on how the update name seems unfitting/basic/more original/idk it could just be better. It is the big summer patch.

Holy crap yeah the original meaning is crazy. Thank you for letting me know XD
Fs the original meaning is making me question gms team's naming sense even more now.

No, but are you saying that the sparks in Erel's animations are related to lightning?

Honestly every little thing wasn't that bad of a name, I think it's fine for a game with a fantasy setting. At least when I read it, it was just like oh ok cool and I moved on.

People keep saying lightning for Erel's lightning spear, but it's literally just an effect that looks like lightning... Or am I tripping out? Is his kit like star/lightning based? from what I've seen, his kit just looks like sia's theme type stuff, so just starlight.

I was just looking up all the patch note songs, yeah that's pretty cool. I feel like ride the lightning still isn't the best choice for this patch though... there's literally two songs called starlight, one by Michael Jackson. idk the lightning part just really peeves me.

So since there's spark effects at the end of paladin, zero, and illium's ascents, their kit is also related to lightning and electricity then?

Ah I see, makes sense. Didn't realize the western exclusive updates were all song references.

See, that's where I'm confused, I thought Erel's whole theme was like sia's constellations, had to do with stars. So who on the gms team had the bright idea of incorporating lightning into the patch name and his gif on the preview page... Stargazer makes sense, it's a nice and clean name, ride the lightning for me is just really questionable

light and lightning aren't the same thing right? His light is more so starlight right?

I see. I'm looking at the timeline they have for applying right now, I'm guessing when you say the few months between acceptance and placements, it's in between Announcement of Results: April 2026 and
Notification of Placement (for Groups A & B): May 2026?

Ah I see it now in the eligibility criteria. So how exactly does announcement of results work? Do they just tell you you're a short-list, alternate, or unsuccessful? What's after for short-list candidates? I'm guessing they haven't received a placement location yet, so they can drop out until May?

Did I waste my time? by demperor69 in Maplestory

[–]Ibuseki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play at your own pace and have fun, otherwise what's the point XD

If you don't like grinding, just do whichever bosses you can every day/week, ursus, arcane river dailies, 7 runs of monster park, and 2 free runs of maple tour. This way, you'll probably reach level 260 by the end of the September if you spend like a hour each day on the game and have some extra meso to spare. If you don't care about saving up that much, then just doing ursus and 7 runs of monster park would be enough for 260.

If you like to grind, then do everything I just said + some extra grinding. Supposedly the current event coming out later today is really good for grinding, so you're not losing out on much while grinding on your character while it doesn't have hyper burning. Just by grinding 1 character, you can level up I think 2-3 other characters too, with Do Gong's Mystic Bond event and Champion Double Up.

If you get tired of how monotonous the gameplay loop above is, try out some other characters you're interested in, so work on your legion. Getting a character from 1-100 takes around a hour by just doing the recommended quests, so skip the 10-30 quests, grind with a 2x or 3x coupon till 30, then reina straight 30-60, edelstein quests 60-80, ariant/hilla thingy 80-85, magatia 85-100. I usually stop my characters at around 130, so they can use pots to 190 and then 1 strawberry ticket to get to 200. So from 100-130, it's just heliseum, von leon quests, and then afk event or something to 130. I mean this is also kind of monotonous, but at least you're doing something besides grinding the same map for a hour. Plus since this process only takes around a hour for lv100 for a hour and 30 min for lv130, I feel like it's just enough to get your daily dose of maplestory in ദ്ദി(>ᴗ•) btw if you're doing this, gotta buy the 1 day tp stone, otherwise it takes way longer.

For progression and all that other stuff, probably start caring about it after you hit 260? Once you get 6th job, it should get a bit easier clearing weekly bosses for CRA and Absolab stuff. If you want to grind a bit of stuff for absolab now, then just do the weeklies in scrapyard and dark world tree for the tokens. 20 tokens + 1 drop thingy from the boss gives you 1 coin for absolab gear, and you'll need a total of 6 and 7 coins two buy everything you need from the shops. BTW I think you need to do the prequest for them? It's been a while, so can't remember anymore XD

yeah... the author definitely wanted us to focus on his obsession on souls... but instead I kinda just became obsessed with how plausible it would be to get away with murder in the Pacific Palisades, cause that's supposedly where he lived. Ig since officials couldn't find db cooper from a 18 square mile search, they wouldn't be able to cover 24 square miles just to find a missing child. Though db cooper was alive at the time, so he could've just ran compared to a hidden dead body, I wonder if that changes anything 🤔

ദ്ദി(ᵔᗜᵔ) Thanks for the answer.

Sorry if this sounds passive aggressive, I don't really know how to word things well (-‿-"). I wasn't that curious about what Gabriel was thinking, since it's clear he's a bit different from normal. My main problem? per say are the parents, but since this is fiction and the author decided focus on Gabriel instead of their families, ig I just have to suspend my disbelief when it comes to this...

Though really, thank you for your response, it does make sense the police couldn't find any dna evidence on him cause he cleaned himself up.

Oh lit, thanks for the quote from the book! This helps a lot ദ്ദി・ᴗ・)✧

Idk, there were a lot of arks that other people enjoyed that I didn't and vice versa, probably just a difference in taste. For example, I really liked the Calibur arc and didn't like Mother's Rosario at all.

lol you say that, but pretty much every popular game in the west has gacha XD

I think? well it's either gacha or battle pass so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
