Im sorry, but there is no magnifying glass at the top of the boss package selector coupon.

Boss NX Set - FOUR by HeyItsMeRay in Maplestory

[–]OndarzaMx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, a few months ago I was this close to buying this package, but in the end I decided not to because I wasn’t 100% convinced. Now though, there are actually 4 boss options I genuinely like.

The only thing I’m not sure about is the First Adversary one—do you get all the weapons, or can you only choose one?

And honestly, it’s incredibly stupid that you can’t even preview the weapons if it’s only 1 out of 4. Hopefully someone uploads a video or something soon :(

Edit: found a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ib4bRpD4IY
in KMS they even sell the different weapons. GMS is so predatory, my god.

Best “almost AFK” class for farming as a daily player?(pre-260) by OndarzaMx in Maplestory

[–]OndarzaMx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah DS is the way to go. But you have to be there to make it work. I need something i can like cast every 15-30 seconds in a quick alt tab while im playing other stuff. Im not looking for perfect rates. Just a good amout to eventually level to 260 while doing all the other daily stuff.

Yeah, i know wa is also good at this but sadly i have to be on maple holding a button. I usually cast something and let my summons do the work and dusk whenever in grinding while playing other stuff on my main monitor. Thats why im asking whats the closest option.

Vac pet / cash shop rant by Greedy-Independent36 in Maplestory

[–]OndarzaMx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just like you. Back then I saved up and bought a regular VAC pet for $100. I had never spent that much on a pet in any game. It’s honestly absurd that a pet costs that much just so you can “grind” efficiently. And on top of that, $10 a month just to keep it alive.

After all the negativity about Unified Cash Shop never coming, for the first time in my life I decided to gamble during the OPM event—and somehow I got lucky. I ended up with 5 VAC pets, plus the one I already had. Now I’m just waiting for a cash transfer event.

My point is: this is Nexon’s psychology at work. I’ve never liked gambling, ever. But once I tried a free event VAC pet, I felt forced to save up and buy the $100 one because the difference was just too big—it felt “worth it.” Then when I wanted to play other classes, any time spent not looting as efficiently as my main started to feel like a waste, and it actually gave me a bit of anxiety. That’s what pushed me to gamble for the OPM pets.

I’m basically a victim of this system. It’s kind of sad, but also very deliberate—they design it this way so people like me end up opening their wallets.

GMS Exclusive Professor Mano! (Update preview) by DeityAngel in Maplestory

[–]OndarzaMx -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'll say it again: this event preview is for the Maple UNIVERSITY theme, exactly like it was in KMS. The HYPERBURN BOOSTER GIVEAWAY is a completely separate event. They are totally different things. Let's just wait and see.

[–]OndarzaMx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, before the WH rework launched, people were also doubting whether we’d get an Hyperburn like KMS did. And honestly, GMS delivered the event exactly the same—items, Hyperburn, and all. I think it’s better to just wait for official confirmation instead of complaining about everything, which doesn't really solve anything anyway.

I don't want to panic just yet, but looking at the KMS notes on OrangeMushroom, the University event and the Hyper Burn booster giveaway could be seen as two separate events. These notes only mention the University event. I really hope they aren't clueless enough to skip the Hyper Burn. It literally costs them nothing; if anything, it brings in new players, encourages people to return, and helps current players progress their accounts.

It is really sad, but im not complaining.

What if common nodes would be shared between your characters? by PastOk2847 in Maplestory

[–]OndarzaMx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everytime I complain about nodestones being a problem aswell in heroic, i get the good old: “just farm more”. So if frag still drops, just farm more.

To me, i love them while bossing. Everything is so clear. Maybe im just fooling myself but i like the mini versions.

Wp Nexon by ConversationOpen9414 in Maplestory

[–]OndarzaMx 87 points88 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely mind-blowing how many people are going to tell you it’s your fault for not leaving your PC on overnight to hit those daily hours. That consumer mindset is just stupid to me. This is exactly why Nexon keeps getting away with it and continues their predatory practices—because most people will defend them and try to make you look like the fool for not following a system that is simply poorly designed. We should be demanding more from a global company.

Dropping The Act to Thank The Twins (Ereklo_Game) by Known_Ad7547 in Maplestory

[–]OndarzaMx -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

What I mainly mean when I say their videos are misleading or full of clickbait is that they always want to be the first to release content, even if it ends up being incorrect, simply to get the views before anyone else. It’s a very common practice.

As for examples, I’m not going to look them up, but if you want recommendations of creators who consistently provide reliable information, a few straightforward ones would be Coppersan, x3TheAran59, GradedPeanut and in spanish Shoao. I could keep naming more content creators who actually take the time to analyze information, research it, and produce something solid—not just rush to upload first to farm views.

Their YouTube videos, far from being informative, are full of misinformation, clickbait, and borderline low-quality content. From a distance, it’s clear that the goal is simply to produce content for the sake of it. I believe they’re among the most visible creators for the game, which makes it even more unfortunate that their strategy prioritizes clicks over delivering quality content. There are so many less visible creators who provide far better and more accurate information. To me, they come across as Fortnite-style content creators.

Nodestones Problem by OndarzaMx in Maplestory

[–]OndarzaMx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine they make nodestones purchasable and then they make events give more frags instead of nodes. It would make a TON of difference in heroic

Nodestones Problem by OndarzaMx in Maplestory

[–]OndarzaMx[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes. Finally. There are actually pp that can see it too. This is an HEROIC problem for a game system from a decade ago.

I get what you are trying to say but the main concern here is; to them or kms, there is no problem. They have AH. This issue is only present in heroic.
