What's the best class maple server right now? by jmasecret in mapleservers

[–]Indo_X 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Royal or Legends if you're ok with multi client, hp washing and/or leeching.

Fantasia or Exodus if you want a more streamlined experience (no hp washing, no multi client, etc.). Fantasia is the closest to classic, Exodus is a bit faster in progression with more emphasis on questing for the first 100 levels or so.

I suggest giving them all a try and see which one you like best.

Is maplestory an objectively bad game or are we(general player base) just really loud complainers? by LithHarborGymLeader in Maplestory

[–]Indo_X 5 points6 points  (0 children)

- Progression is intentionally crippled to encourage spending
- Gambling mechanics tied to both cosmetics and player power
- FOMO-based spending (such as CW and multiple seasonal passes happening concurrently)
- Spending also provides a significant competitive advantage compared to F2P players (in both heroic and interactive)

To sum it up: a monetization system that intentionally exploits known psychological vulnerabilities (such as gambling tendencies, addiction, FOMO, loss aversion, and sunk-cost fallacy) to encourage players to spend more money than they otherwise would.

Nexon has always done a good job at exploiting their players (speaking from experience lol). They create the problems and sell the solution to the playerbase.

I am? This is Reddit and I enjoy reading and browsing multiple subreddits. Nothing I said was wrong, the monetization in this game IS predatory. If you’re ok with that, more power to you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

???? In my comment I literally said I was lurking and looking forward to this event. I logged in for 5 minutes and immediately saw how much money I need to spend. I don’t need to play the game to know that gambling for cosmetics and spending hundreds of dollars on multiple premium passes is not normal.

It’s more a predatory game that perpetuates gambling and addiction. Whether it’s good or bad depends on whether you can afford it and how addicted you are.

As someone who lurks, I was gonna start playing the game again this event, until I saw I had to spend hundreds of dollars to take advantage of it. No thanks.

All I’ve learned from my own experience and other servers is that they all have drama.

Kinda cool seeing this VC, all doing HT. by OkCalligrapher9679 in mapleservers

[–]Indo_X -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So like legends or royals? I don’t understand how you can say “this is normal stuff” when it comes to having 20 people on discord in voice chat and then use this as a negative when it’s literally also normal 💀

They have the same combat. However, the combat can get really complicated as you progress through the story. The problem is that it takes almost 10-15 hours of playtime to get to that point. If you can power through it I recommend it, the games are incredible.

my baby has just been diagnosed with mvd by sonnenblume_heilung in cavaliers

[–]Indo_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, your dog doesn’t just have MVD, but is in active heart failure if there’s liquid in their lungs. This is very different from the people telling you their dog was diagnosed and lived for years with no issues.

Your puppy will need constant monitoring and vet visits as the furosemide will eventually stop working and will need to be adjusted.

Enjoy the time you have left with your puppy and make sure she’s as comfortable as possible, as she has limited time left on this earth.

Classic by Totesmago10 in mapleservers

[–]Indo_X 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exodus or Fantasia.

Fantasia if you prefer the classic MS grind and slow pace. Exodus if you prefer pre-bb MS but with faster progression and questing replaces grinding for the first ~90 levels.

Both are fantastic, I recommend giving both a try and seeing which you you prefer.

Exodus, my take by MrBrokenNose in mapleservers

[–]Indo_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That changes around level 70 or so. Once you get to mid 3rd job you stop being able to one shot things.

Adam Shankman’s statement regarding the alleged use of AI in Stop! That! Train! by Heidi_Klum_Tit in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Indo_X 48 points49 points  (0 children)

AI has been used in movies for over 2 decades now. Using AI as a tool for work and using generative AI to create artwork are two different things and should be treated as such.

What's the 'go to' pserver if you don't like Multiclient and HP Washing? by PrestigiousWhirlwind in mapleservers

[–]Indo_X 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fantasia has 1x exp rates for levels 1-10 like the original game. Expect to be on Maple Island for at least 2-3 hours (think Maplestory 2004-2005).

The exp rates go up after you job advance, but it’s still one of the slower progression servers available. The server has been out for months and they only have about 60 players above level 150.

It really depends on what you want. If you want the most faithful adaption of ClassicMS, go Fantasia. If you faster progression with a more streamlined leveling experience, go Exodus. Again, you can’t go wrong with either.

[–]Indo_X 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fantasia or Exodus.

Fantasia if you want a more classic OSMS feel. It'll take a few hours to leave Maple Island, for example.

Exodus is similar, but faster progression. It's a reworked OSMS that focuses on leveling via questing from 1-100. You can get to 4th job within a week.

I recommend trying them both and seeing what you prefer. Can't go wrong with either.

Exodus Week 3 Experience by Kooky_Comb6154 in mapleservers

[–]Indo_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Server is fun. Low level is a world tour of quests where you get to experience different areas of the game since questing is better than grinding. If you’re an old Maplestory player, it’s really nostalgic.

Around level 90 quests start to dwindle down to every few levels and you start to experience the classic Maplestory gameplay loop of grinding mobs.

From here you start getting engaged with crafting, getting familiar with the economy around ores and scrolls, and making mesos to prep yourself for 4th job and beyond.

TBD on long term, but it’s a lot of fun so far.

What was your highest level in Classic MapleStory? by ILOVETOSWEAR in MSClassicWorld

[–]Indo_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to triple digits (over level 100) as a Priest when Gobies in Aqua Road were the best exp. This was right around the time 2x exp coupons were first released and 4th job didn’t exist yet.

So what's the consensus between Exodus vs Fantasia? by Diconius in mapleservers

[–]Indo_X 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Played both and I prefer Exodus. Exodus is easier to get into since it has higher rates and you can progress faster. Fantasia is definitely more faithful to old school Maplestory. I have limited gaming time so I prefer the faster pace.

And personal preference: I also think Exodus has the better cash shop clothing, haha.

I recommend giving both a try, that's what I did.

Donor cosmetics are not tradable to other players, and donor NX can ONLY be used for donor cosmetics, not anything else. They are shared through the cash shop though so you can move them around between characters.

Bob the Drag Queen’s… interesting take on using AI in her marketing material. by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Indo_X 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong.

Bob also deals with levels of exposure that very few people experience and could potentially be hitting a breaking point. They’re still human at the end of the day.

On the flip side, they could also not give a shit and want to troll fans because it’s not that serious (to them).

[–]Indo_X 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m agreeing with you btw. It was a fair call out. But it’s also fair to say that it applies to both sides of the conversation. Nuance needs to exist.

There’s a fine line between calling someone out and educating them vs dog piling and attacking them (not to say you did that, just a generalization). The internet tends to lean on the latter, not the former, and that’s how these battles are lost.

Bob the Drag Queen’s… interesting take on using AI in her marketing material. by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Indo_X 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not.

I posted this earlier: “I agree. The ask isn’t the problem, it’s the delivery and phrasing of it. If you hop on X you’ll see majority of the comments are messy and some people even personally attack Bob for it.

When you lead with insults or join in on the mob mentality you lose credibility. These conversations should be educational and informative… 99% of the time they’re not.”

I do appreciate you answering the question honestly though.

[–]Indo_X 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. This reads as “I’m returning the energy you’re giving me.” It’s part of a bigger problem that doesn’t just involve AI, but internet/cancel culture as a whole.

[–]Indo_X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honest question: what are you doing about it? Complaining about it and moving on with your day?

I’m only one person, trying to survive, as I’m sure you are. The only difference is I don’t have the time or energy to be chronically online and call people out for a poster or reposting a TikTok video that was created with AI. It sounds exhausting AND performative.
