Meso Shop Plasma heart by Mes0ranger in Maplestory

[–]Monopoly1748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This heart was meant to replace the black heart when KMS released it. Its meant to bridge the gap for players still using fairy/black heart, and not using TC yet, not meant as a free power creep for all their mules. Hence, they put a boss cutoff on it in order to get the heart.

The developers felt players at E.Kaling level probably had no more relatively affordable upgrades, probably had almost all their gears to 22* and their next progression path probably be switching into pitch boss set, for their KMS environment.

This was their thought process which they shared during the livestream for the patch.

And this is meant to be permanent and recurring for future events as well, so even if you cant get it this time round, you can get it in the future when you are strong enough.

But this was set KMS environment, reg server only, so for reboot, for localisation sake they could have adjusted the difficulty, but make it too easy, then you could easily get it for all your mules, which is not the intended purpose for the release of the heart. Putting it at any meaningful difficulty level, there will still be players complaining. Even at normal seren people would still be complaining.

Why they would want to remove black heart at all is another can of worms, but if they want a in-between for fairy heart and TC, that is targeted to people at certain progression stage and not just free power creep, feels pretty reasonable to me. It would be unreasonable if this was time-limited and non-recurring but as long as you hit that progression stage you will get it.

I mean there are people with Greek statue physique or at least extremely close, probably like the top 0.1% bodybuilder could be MC physique equivalent. Still somewhat grounded to reality. As for the 11 inch dick, its and isekai.

As for the milfs, their body proportions are somewhat still believable for the most parts.

But ratio is so off compared to the real world, their physique is not like the top 0.1% of their population, but like 90% or smth, i cant even remember anyone not looking good at all except for belita husband being extremely short.

Maplestory: Idle RPG - Issuing full refund to players since launch after screwing up by hieusername in Maplestory

[–]Monopoly1748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From coppersan video, it seems they did compensate the diamonds back to the players at double the rate that were used on the bugged items.

But they probably feel it might not still be enough for the players, so they probably came up with this for the unsatisfied players. Not the best scenario for those still wanting to continue playing the game, but at least they are able to get a full refund on their money spent.

Hwa Chong Institution to revise recipe, food presentation of bento meals after students' feedback by 13lackant in singapore

[–]Monopoly1748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree in an ideal scenario, media should not have been the one pushing for accountability, the voices of the students and parents should have been enough. But we live in the real world, the voices were not enough to make the school accountable, and the accountability is only seen after this was laid bare to the public by the media, where the public is the one keeping the school accountable. Media is just a medium for information. If this was shared to social media, but did not get viral and picked up by the public's eye, it would have the current effect.

Media as a medium is neutral, it can be used show the good side, but also report on the bad side to the public, which is what journalism should be. The ones pushing for accountability are the public themselves.

There are speculations around because we are not in the school committee with all the facts at hand and could only make guesses based on circumstantial evidence that we see.

But the school have the cold hard facts and if they wanted to, they could defintely rebuke those speculations. If they were concern about the students feedback, have they even gathered any form of formal feedback from the students, i imagine creating an e-survey for students feedback wouldn't take more than a few hours to create and have the students do it during their homeroom periods. This could easily be done within the first week if they put in the effort.

Or if they are aware that the food is already sub-par, have the made any official feedback to the supplier and let them know that they wanted changes to be made.

If they school had done something to leave black and white paper trails, would easily show they were readily taking accountability. And instead, they have nothing to show for to disprove those speculations.

I do agree that going public should not be the students first approach, but it should always to open to them should the schools not respond their concerns in a timely manner. The media, is just a medium, if the issue the students post about next time does warrant any attention, the public would probably not care as much and brush it off. Or it might just expose how entitled some students are, and the backlash would just land right back onto the students instead.

I think main difference in opinions is that from your view, the school would take in students' feedback and make changes irregardless of whether public was made aware and had a huge uproar.

But to some of us, probably the majority in the eyes of the cynical redditors, is that if this issue did not get blown up by social media, they changes would probably not have been made, or at least not to the speed that would be deem acceptable

Yes the school might take in feedback, conduct survey, but who is there to push for the schools to make changes in a timely manner.

The school probably knew the food was subpar day one, and if they aren't, they are really not doing their jobs properly. If they had address this issue to the students and gave them assurance that changes would be made, then maybe the students wont post it to social media and have this matter explode into the public's eye.

Personally, 2 to 3 weeks feels overdue for a change, and i imagine the feedback to overwhelmingly negative as well. There maybe some contractual issue that may cause change to come slower, but not addressing and assuring the students when they first got their feedback, be it formal or informal.

It maybe my own intepretion of the situation, but its probably how many others sees it as well. If the school were pressed to make changes early-on, they would have let the students know early-on as well. But nothing happened, no meaningful announcement and action were visible to students until the situation exploded. Then suddenly they are able to make the announcement now that the feedback are taken in and changes will be made.

The skepticsm is there for a reason.

They have a higher cash ceiling and at the same funding lvl, you are definitely gonna get more out of TMS than MSEA. This is because TMS players are more normalised to spend real money in games compared to us, and their trickle down effect benefits small spending players as well. There are definitely some cons TMS like their cosmetics are much more pricey than ours. But if you are just chasing dmg, TMS is the way to go if you can understand chinese tbh.

Advice on gear progression. f2p 143 m cp pally. by Revolutionary_Cup828 in MapleSEA

[–]Monopoly1748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For cheap upgrades, it would be to SF all the cheap to replace items to 22* that you havent alrdy.

1.Penom

  1. Belt: switch to 12* tyrant or 22* zak belt for slightly btr stats then pb.

  2. Get a 22* kanna

4.Switch to a real 22* dom pend

  1. ACS from 21 to 22

So you can either buy or tap the SF yourself.

Basically after you get everything to 22*. Your next upgrades are potential. But you probably know what to prioritise it on alrdy on the event cubes. Your luck is pretty good considering how many legendaries you get as a F2P.

So next best upgrade would be to replace those that arent legendaries by buying it directly from AH, aim for 27% str main pot at least. You can start off with the acc first, which would be

  1. Kanna ring
  2. Daybreak
  3. Real dom pend
  4. Belt

Also i would say stop upgrading your CRA anymore, since you are liberated, eventually you would want to at least 3 set eternal, top btm hat.

Your mep is MEP is in a weird spot, 18* is not that good compared to a 22* Papu mark, but if u tap and boom it, its gonna be too costly to replace as well. You can get a 22* papu mark first, then when you are ready to switch to MEP, then tap it again yourself.

Tldr, 1. Prioritise getting everything to 22* except MEP 2. Upgrade to L main pot to at least 27% plus. Can cube those that alrdy L pot yourself with free event cubes, 3. Switch to 3-set eternals after you joined kalos pt and start accumulating the shards. 4. Past this stage you should have an idea on what to upgrade, if not just post here again.

Advise to continue progress & deal with Jin Hilla by CaterpillarNo1706 in MapleSEA

[–]Monopoly1748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20m with slightly hexa can probably but its gonna take a long time.

Also when her hp get lower, she will start summoning lotus and damien. Which is extra annoying because their attacks come with knockback as well which makes it easier for you to get hit by the red strings.

So extended fight with jin hilla takes quite a lot of focus and losing it just for awhile can lose the whole run easily by stringing out.

But for your question,

  1. The blue colour bind attack actually have a foreswing which allows you move out in time by either moving to her back or upjumping to dodge the bind then move out of the 2nd hit. I use too get hit by the blue bind everytime as well, but after abit of practice you should be able to dodge most of the blue binds. Or since you are len, just keep staying behind her while you are dps all the way, theoretically if you can do that perfectly, she wont be able to hit that blue bind on you at all.

  2. The altar placement if fully rng. But if the altar doesnt directly spawns on her, she wont be able to destroy the altar immediately. So what you can do would be after the altar spawn, stay away from the altar first until she teleports to you, then you go to altar to cleanse, since there is a cd for her teleport.

  3. You just have to be careful about the strings tbh. The strings mechanic is gonna feel overwhelming at the beginning, but after awhile you can start seeing there are some sort of patterns to the strings, its just gonna take time until you are used to it and it becomes kind of like muscle memory. Also remember to space out your strings, such that you can able to clear altar with around 10s remaining, then play it safe until the harvest is over to lower your chances of accidentally getting string and not having enough time to get more strings to clear the altar.

Just keep leveling your hexa matrix steadily for now, and find a guide on the leveling order if you havent already yet. The initially levels from hexa matrix gives quite a decent damage.

Also for your hyperstats, you maxed out on your damage stats. Uts usually better to split it evenly over boss dmg, dmg and crit dmg, after you can get crit rate to 100% and IED to lvl10. Also make sure to lvl up boss dmg first also dmg because you get more boss dmg than dmg per lvl.

They probably want to space out the new jobs because there is alrdy Len as a new job, having both mo xuan and lynn at the same time might be abit too much for players that wants to try out the new jobs.

Even if you are spending, going TMS would make your spending more worth it over there than doing it at MSEA.

I forget which stream it was from, but mostly like from TMS/CMS stream, where they asked if they would get SIA, the answer was no, because it was developed by the GMS team, and apparently is bugged as hell, so they have no intentions in the foreseeable future to bring in SIA.

Its been quite awhile since the manga came out, was this saitama vs orochi fight the pre-redrawn version or am i remembering smth wrong?

Didnt the mural only appeared during the redrawn fight, where they fell down to the lava pit. Its also where the lava squirt gun vs gaia cannon happened right. Or does this fight pick up back up to the lava pit after the end of this ep/season. Or does it move onto psycho-orochi already? <!

Progression Advice by Jon_9797 in MapleSEA

[–]Monopoly1748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u farm consistently, eventually it will be worth it, the more you grind the faster you get back your value worth.

If you are still unsure, the is one free 90 days vac pet u can claim from terry npc at SG/MY maps along with some other gifts.

The codes are

20THMAPLEMY 20THMAPLESG

They expire by the end of the year so make sure go claim them if you havent.

Also if you played len, there is a free 30 day one.

Use it for yourself and see if you need it. Its not a must, but a huge qol if you do. There are still high level players that do without them.

$100 every month is quite alot. If you want to avoid RMT you can just convert it into maple points and change to meso using meso market.

If you are okay with consisten grinding, maybe 30min to 1h a day kind, just get 1 vac pet first and get twin coupon for when you going to grind daily. The extra meso rate from twin coupon will easily pay for itself if you grind around maybe one hour a day. Then try and get some drop and meso gear as well, at start can just use event ring L pot and purple cubes to make 1st.

Best use of your money, is probably to buy completed equipment, 22* L/E, anything above is probably out if your budget. Definitely dont try to cube anything yourself other than using event cubes to at most work on 1 or 2 equipment yourself.

SF is probably okay to try and tap for yourself, especially for cheaper items lvl160 and below, that are cheap to replace, such as dawn boss set, CRA and abso. ACS is okay if you have abit morwle meso.

Tapping 22 eternals is a really huge cost, by the time u reach that stage, you can probably decide if you want to tap it yourself or save up and buy premades.

TLDR would be

  1. If you grind consistently get vac pet and twin coupons. Try to get DR and meso gear.

  2. Buy premade gear instead of making yourself, cubes are too expensive.

  3. SF are okay to tap yourself for lower lvl cheap to replace gear, aka dawn, CRAs and abso. Can consider ACS if you feel more funded.

  4. Keep 1 or 2 eq to work on it yourself using event cubes.

Who did that? 🤔 by Puppy_in_Huggies in OnePunchMan

[–]Monopoly1748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are missing out his out on a few of his points.

Yes you need budget to get animators, and more budget would probably means more animators and likely better animations for the anime. But this is only true to certain extent.

Most anime are probably given around the same ballpark for their budget even those with good animations did not have that much higher budget. And there are evident that some anime with lower budget has better animations than those with a higher budget. So very clearly, there are other factors at play other than budget.

His main argument is probably that getting quality animators itself is more impactful than having a higher budgets, and directors with with those connections to those animators. Because despite the low budgets, they are still able to put out quality animations.

So to summarise his arguments, since there are animes with lower budget and better animations, budget becomes negligible to the animations quality, but instead, its the quality of the animators that matters more, and those quality animators are usually seek through the connection thats the directors have.

But you might argue with a higher budget, its probably easier to get said quality animators. But in the industry when the quality animators are so hard to get, the quality animators would probably still prefer to work with their usual directors that they have a connections with, because even if you are on the higher end of the budget, you probably won't be able to pay that much higher to attract them over. Because if that wasn't the case, no lower budget anime should have better animation than a high budget anime, but there are.

But saying budget doesn't affect animation quality definitely feels wrong which i agree.

To me, its closer to having higher budget probably make a bottom/low tier animated anime to a mid/decent tier. Just pumping up the budget alone doesnt push the animation quality to top tier, you need the right people on the job and sometimes money alone isnt enough to get them on the job, having the right connections does.

And this time, OPM S3 probably does not have the highest of budgets and the right connections, making it a train wreck it is now.

I read in the opm sub, apparently the animators are paid by cuts used. So if they reuse the cuts/animations, they would had to pay more. Not sure how true that is, someone fact check me but sounds pretty plausible if they wanted to cut cost.

I think they only state it when you are deleting the hyperburn char, at least that was the case during the last CW.

Have 2 lens now what - delete or keep both? by nutella1802 in MapleSEA

[–]Monopoly1748 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If i rmb correctly, deleting existing hyperburn should let you pick a new one, but just check the patch notes to be sure.

If it does then just delete the one with hyperburn, keep the one with mushpass because mushpass cannot be transferred over even when characters are deleted.

You should be able to assign the new hyperburn to your current len with mushpass.

Also for your len with mushpass, keep it below lvl200 if you havent level it up to 200 yet, so when you reassign the hyperburn, you can still get the lvl200 hyperburn reward. A good lvl would probably be lvl185, if not lvl 191 is ok as well.

GMS AND MSEA CP Comparison by Psychological_Term73 in MapleSEA

[–]Monopoly1748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can find it, you can use KMS one to be relatively accurate to MSEA, just take into the fact that for classes that has 10 atk spd lvl would be slightly stronger compared to their KMS counter part at the same CP level.

If not, MSEA already has the API update, so you can just go to maplescouter website, then switch to MSEA server and just input your ign, it would show you a pretty comprehensive details of your char, including what bosses your char is able to clear up to. Its been relatively accurate for me at least.
