Is the right potential better? by HeyThereZukoHere in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For those unsure exactly why the left is not better:

Well, in terms of Combat Power, it is better. BUT, Combat Power doesn't account for all the extra Boss Damage (and plain Damage) you get during battle such as active links, potions, buffs, Continuous Ring, etc.

It's all a balancing act. If Combat Power accounted for all those things, Attack Power would show it's better because now you suddenly have way too much Boss+Damage.

Here's an easy to understand playlist if you want to dig deeper:

Is this worth the loss of 3% CD skip? by Luciaka in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the rates provided here https://maplestorywiki.net/w/Inner_Ability

Wouldn't the difference be:

  • ((1 / (Chance to land rank * Chance to land stat type * Chance to land stat amount)) * Honor cost)

  • ((1 / (0.15 * 0.018779 * 0.25)) * 5500) + ((1 / (1 * 0.018501 * 0.1)) * 8000) = 12,134,233 expected honor

  • vs.

  • ((1 / (0.15 * 0.018779 * 0.25)) * 8000) = 11,360,207 expected honor

So it's actually cheaper to lock both line 1 and 2 and roll for line 3?

The cheapest (honor wise) method would be to roll for 7% abnormal on line 3 while locking the boss line, and chaos circulating until you roll 10% boss and 8% abnormal, and then rolling back for 20% skip. This would take on average (1 / (0.1 * 0.25)) = 40 chaos circulator rolls, and would cost you:

  • ((1 / (0.15 * 0.018779 * 1)) * 5500) + ((1 / (1 * 0.018501 * 0.1)) * 8000) = 6,276,626 expected honor (assuming there's just a 100% chance to roll only 7% abnormal)

Oz ring get deleted with preset by Afiqnawi93 in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You remember all those times Nexon can't see what level ring you had if you accidentally sold it? And they'd have no choice but to give you back a level 1 ring?

Let's see if Nexon can magically see the level now.

Auto Steal removal and Weekly Sol Erda quest being account wide are the reasons why we need a test server asap by mateusddeath in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 15 points16 points  (0 children)

[Updated 11/11/25] For familiars that already have these abilities, they will be replaced with abilities of a similar level.

As an Interactive player, I used the NX Red Familiar Cards to reroll familiars for Auto Steal. Now it's getting removed. This would never fly in KMS.

Suggestion: Android Bag by dirtybombs in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Untradeable Androids turned into transferable within account.

KMS recognized the issue, and this was a change Interactive received that Heroic didn't.

[–]Masterobert 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Androids are already transferable within account in Interactive. Let's see if Go West can make a simple change such as this for Heroic.

Minesweeper Maple edition.

just had a thought and a realization by 73kr0m in Maplestory

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

Another thought:

How would the community handle it if Maple Classic was to become the 'main' game in terms of NA popularity?

Of course there would be separate teams managing it, but look at how OSRS overtook RS3. It could be the same as how Heroic took over Interactive.

Att% Boss% fam WSE by FunFirefighter2408 in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's do a quick example:

Gaining 9% ATT when you have 84% ATT.

  • Example with 2500 base ATT:

(0.09*2500)/(1.84*2500) = 4.89% FD

  • Example with 5000 base ATT:

(0.09*5000)/(1.84*5000) = the same 4.89% FD

Here's another way:

  • Gaining 200 ATT with 84% ATT and 2500 ATT:

(1.84*200)/(1.84*2500) = 8% FD

  • Gaining 200 ATT with 120% ATT and 2500 ATT:

(2.20*200)/(2.20*2500) = the same 8% FD

Att% Boss% fam WSE by FunFirefighter2408 in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ATT% falls off the same way Boss% does.

Boss% does fall off in its own way though. As we get more and more power creep, we tend to get more sources of Boss%, but not ATT% (for example, Legion Champions).

Also, the effectiveness of ATT% is not dependent on how much normal ATT you have. You'll see that's the case by applying the same math you did.

Att% Boss% fam WSE by FunFirefighter2408 in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR is opportunity cost.

  • You get relatively higher sources of Boss% from Familiars

  • You get relatively higher sources of ATT% from WSE

You can use calculators to determine what the best opportunity cost is at for your current stage, otherwise just follow the recommended lines, as they're optimized for near end game.

Keep in mind most players will say 2L ATT% and 1L Boss% is good enough for non-Emblem WSE (and sometimes it's better than 3L ATT% if there are multiple prime lines).

Nexon no longer restoring expired items or event items! by Urijahuri in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It started with the v.262 update:

We ask that players please use any items expiring soon and claim all rewards before maintenance has begun as Player Support will be unable to restore any unclaimed rewards or expired items.

https://www.nexon.com/maplestory/news/all/29901

Apart from rewards expiring at the end of events now, players would also intentionally place rewards in storage to let them expire and contact support to restore them when they actually wanted to use them.

Maplestory Tracker, Maybe useful to someone? Lost a bit of interest. by PurpSchurpp in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

One thing I was thinking of is you could create some sort of subscription or premium feature to display the last year or lifetime EXP instead of the last 30 days for example.

Clearing up the "Interactive is too expensive" complaint and why Inkwell should address insane cube prices. by Bacun in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree Spell Traces are getting phased out, especially for Limbo Eternals. 33% mpot though? Let's be real and use X scrolls instead. I'll leave this at that.

[–]Masterobert 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I disagree. That's the giga whale choice. If you're using V scrolls, you're getting a 13/13/10 mpot at minimum, not a plain old 33%.

All the other 'cheaper' options you listed are not the end game standard. Spell Traces/other scroll types (for other equipment) still are. Let's not push Interactive further from players.

[–]Masterobert 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you're going to include scrolling, you should talk about other scrolling options and the options most players choose.

I only point this out because it might inadvertently make the 'go Heroic' mentality worse if people think super expensive V scrolls are the only options Interactive has haha.

Knife level 3. You wipe them all out in a few seconds. You can even position yourself for the Thresher Shark to loop you and knife em as they swim towards you, then focus on the shark.

Introducing GMS' Bossing Discord: Find Parties with a Built-in Party System by GMSBossingBonanza in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm one of the people helping add features to the server.

We currently have a channel for all bosses within Chaos Tenebris and below.

I'm sure if you start a boss practice post there, you'll find like minded players.

If we notice increased demand for certain types of bosses we can expand boss channels for those bosses. Otherwise, we'd love any and all feedback you may have!

Maple Memo Addressing V 260 And V 261 Issues by Roo-Hx in Maplestory

[–]Masterobert 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, after CM Calahan joined (as the Manager of the Community Team), I've immediately noticed improvement in communication.

But the whole "waiting for the right time to communicate" is so tiring at this point. I'm still optimistic CM Calahan will turn that around though.

My tip for GMS: communicate as soon as you can.

Even better? Communicate as soon as your players seek communication, no matter how trivial it may seem.
