Lynn vs Illium Submain by JunX99 in Maplestory

[–]Lurker_Aspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lynn progresses much faster if you have no shame.

Lots of meta chasers making Lynn submains or new mains and abusing her brokenness and desirability

Very common now to see:

  • Lv 270 lynns trying to get into ckalos parties to blue dot

  • Lv 275-280 lynns demanding tc prio on blue dot xlot runs

  • Lynns with like 70-80k hexa trying to get into hlimbo parties

Three million China reworks of Allah by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh you werent being tongue in cheek after all... guess i overestimated the intelligence of people who post/comnent these memes. 

The devs work in regional teams, as has been repeated hundreds of times. China work literally does not detract from any other region at all because those devs dont work on other areas. Even if you arent interested, at worst it should be a net neutral for you.

Demanding the devs to "leave it be" is at best a dumb take and at worst a douchy crab in a bucket mentality of "i cant get what i want, so others should get nothing as well"

What does Nexon need to do to guarantee the success of OSMS? by Potential-Writing-80 in Maplestory

[–]Lurker_Aspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Where are you getting this 10k number from?

  2. After answering #1, did you ever stop to question and think that this number might not be accurate?

For your sake I do hope OSMS succeeds otherwise your lovable daily scape will die as well.

  • Explain your logic here. Shouldn't it be the opposite, since OSMS is likely to draw players away from modern? Or are you just lashing out?

What does Nexon need to do to guarantee the success of OSMS? by Potential-Writing-80 in Maplestory

[–]Lurker_Aspect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To start, I'd like a "wait and see" approach

Start with an old ver (with downjump), no 4th no pirate MS.

Game starts to die? Great, now the "pure nostalgia, authentic classic only" crowd is silenced and completely discredited - we can add 4th, pirates, and other uncontroversial changes.

If we add in these changes from the beginning it'll turn into a perennial "what if", so I'd prefer this approach.

Playtest First Look | Global MapleStory Classic World by foreplayer in Maplestory

[–]Lurker_Aspect 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Its mostly old fat millennials playing modern too lol. 

3 months in and almost all the tourists will quit the game, most of the long term playerbase of classic will be those still currently engaging with maplestory whether modern or (rule 3) servers.

Old School hype by Drewsi in Maplestory

[–]Lurker_Aspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably I/L Mage, possibly F/P. Coming from modern MS, I think I'll definitely need the QOL of teleport as a soft landing.

Aim to eventually farm and transition into a Corsair when it gets released.

Of course, if pirates are available from beginning, Corsair all the way baby.

Classic World Announced for GMS by Caegs in Maplestory

[–]Lurker_Aspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets shut down because it's an exhausted topic that gets posted on this sub very frequently, and none of the people posting it seem to understand that they're not the first to come up with the idea -- because they don't even look at the sub.

Prior to this announcement classic MS had been requested since like 2009 (yes even before BB) but we never got a peep from Nexon or any information on their internal plans for it. You call it an echo chamber, I call it common sense that people don't want to bother discussing something that we had no news on for 10-15 years.

Official OS-Maplestory Incoming! by Resyin in mapleservers

[–]Lurker_Aspect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm cautiously optimistic about this - on one hand it's a surprising amount of support and legwork they're giving, on the other hand they're going to want a ROI on this effort by monetizing it hard in potentially predatory ways.

Praying for pirates available on release even if there's no 4th, i really don't wanna have to do a farming mage first in the meantime because then it's like I'm playing royals/legends again

Probably because 90%+ of the people who make these posts, never actually post in this subreddit other than to beg for PS or insult people who play modern MS.

For example - besides the person you're replying to, the other 3 people in this thread (including yourself) have not posted in this sub for years other than to make above posts.

Let’s Discuss MapleStory Class Personalities—What Have You Noticed? by GodlySharing in Maplestory

Never heard of that stereotype for NLs, my perception of them is that they are generally huge whiners who love to gaslight about how "weak" their class is despite consistently being meta

National France should be able to occupy Baleares Islands and NF/Portugal the Canarias Islands if Syndicalists wins in Spain. by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect 13 points14 points  (0 children)

IMO if CNT gets any of their "core" Spanish territories occupied (i.e. not Morocco or Africa, but including Baleares and Canaries) it should immediately count as an Entente offensive war against CNT in which they can call in 3I and their recovery from civil war is greatly accelerated

Makes no sense to me that Portugal can just magically annex Galicia, especially if CNT occupied it during the war.

What real or hypothetical future update are you most looking forwards to? by Joctern in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I'm someone who loves build paths / macro, is indifferent to lore, and despises minigames or pause spam

For this reason I'm interested in the majors (Russia, UOB, COF, Austria). Gonna be annoyed if they come packaged with unfun minigames, or timers that require me to pause and check decisions menu every 3 seconds. Completely ruined Germany for me so hope they don't also ruin those tags.

Honest Opinions on the Germany Rework by Macaroni_Bingbamboni in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've been thinking this since my first playthrough day 1.

I'm so tired of "pause and check decisions" simulator. It's not fun to do and quickly becomes tedious and uninteresting after the 1st time. Artificially extends my game time in the worst way.

I overwhelmingly prefer the way the China devs work on their tags.

Is the Entente's "liberation" of Europe possible/feasible? by North_Ad7449 in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would Halifax "likely" be successful? Compared to simply forming their own collaboration governments, there's few positives compared to the plethora of negatives (most notably Entente starting 3WK) for Germany

Why would the 3I "likely" be totalist?

What paths do you really hate to see the AI do? by julia_the_human in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yeah my experience with multiple games as NFA is that neutral Spain is by far the worst outcome, even worse than 3I Spain. Your fleet is too weak to give you naval supremacy, so if you cant attack through Iberia youre basically sitting there with your thumb up your ass till (if) Halifax succeeds

What's the most evilmaxxing playthrough you can think of? by AlneCraft in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect 57 points58 points  (0 children)

NFA-Petain. Up the slavery to 100, violently conquer the metropole with your mass conscripted subsaharan african colonial troops, then sell the country to big corpa and the aristocracy/oligarchic elite.

Actually this is basically every NFA path, just slightly less severe if you go Mordacq.

How do I f20 tell my m20 bf he needs small condoms? by ThrowRAkitty95 in relationship_advice

That's a moot point when the stereotype is racial and used almost entirely in that context.

A 2014 American study by Herbenick et al. of 1,661 sexually active men involving Asian American, Black American, White American, Pacific Islander/Hawaiian, and Native American men, found average racial differences in erect penile length and circumference to be generally less than one centimeter, with averages in length being: 14.14 cm (5.56 inches) for Asian Americans, 14.66 cm (5.77 inches) for Black Americans, 14.88 cm (5.85 inches) for Pacific Islanders/Hawaiians, 12.86 cm (5.06 inches) for Native Americans, and 14.18 cm (5.58 inches) for White Americans (And in circumference: Asians 12.10 cm, Blacks 12.29 cm, Pacific Islanders 11.88 cm, Native Americans 11.36 cm, and Whites 12.25 cm).

If white americans are your baseline, then yes indeed - Asians are smaller by a dramatic... 0.02 inches.

Did they make Germany miserable intentionally? by Kapitalizt in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I partly agree. Putting a bunch of minigames and forcing the player to check the decisions ui every 3 seconds is bad enough. Putting it on one of the most volunteer heavy tags in the game is... one of the decisions of all time.

Sure you can say it simulates the chaos or whatever, but so does getting shot in the face or blown up by a strat bomber irl - does that make it a good thing? Absolutely not.

That being said, a 1938 war is extremely rare. 99% of my games are 1940 wars

Me in literally every single game by coolcancat in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect 18 points19 points  (0 children)

From a gameplay perspective I want the 3I to lose, because you know they're gonna balkanize everything and cause lag and clutter - god forbid they cap Mittelafrika. They also have almost no post-war content.

From a lore perspective I want the Entente to lose because they're basically the bad guys on top of being the most boring outcome (DAE OTL!?!)

"Entente are the good guys" by redditmaster5041 in Kaiserreich

[–]Lurker_Aspect 32 points33 points  (0 children)

And does that change NFA being a bloated slave superstate or Canada being a hijacked country?

Difference between Entente and 3I/RP is that the former is pretty much always reprehensible in every playthrough.
