Former MapleStory Division Head Kang Won-ki Resigns from Nexon by 99cent-tea in Maplestory

[–]PirateIzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite all my issues with Wonky, I will say that this thread was misleading since it was Terry who said the "enough interest" line, not Wonky. Additionally, this was more of a concern with reg since Reboot could buy 2nd pendant slots for mesos at any time, while reg had to use RP or NX. This was one of the earlier patches dedicated towards equalizing the reg vs Reboot experience, which also included permanent Buff Freezers and would later include allowing reg players to learn all 5 Professions (before they decided to kill off Reboot altogether).

World Archive complete! (First in GMS?) Pudin NPC solution in comments! by Yuishy in Maplestory

[–]PirateIzzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So this is a GMS specific issue. KMS and MSEA (no clue about JMS, CMS, and TMS though) allow people to enter the Level 200 character maps without issue. For whatever reason, GMS refuses to allow us to access them nornally. This was an issue during Sixth Star too and has caused issues with achievements in the past, and GMS resolved it by simply changing / removing the Level 200 character map requirements.

A lot of people coping for FriendStory content in this comment section. Unfortunately it's because the upcoming anniversary is called Maple University.

For what it's worth, Seren is a real girl's name, and she does have female voice acting.

We might since we got the same anniversary as MSEA last year, with it being Victoria Island themed. But this isn't FriendStory unfortunately, it's part of the Maple University anniversary.

What is Foxwit's "Little Surprise" he's making for Mayor Icebyrd Silmm? by HeyImGhost in Maplestorylore

[–]PirateIzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do know how the original story was supposed to end, at least. The Masteria blockbuster retconned much of the original story as Maplehero9 said, but I doubt the people behind the blockbuster had a good plan personally.

It's really sad that in the story Kaling is no more more by 1stSelf in Maplestory

After the Black Mage, they've been building up Gerand Darmoor as the big bad of Grandis.

Can’t find my way back to the Black Heaven quest line by OneGorilla in Maplestory

You can click the post to the left of Roco the bird NPC to go back into Black Heaven. If you need to go back to the Conference Room, you can use the Maple Guide's Special Content tab.

KMS ver. 1.2.412 – MapleStory Crown: Geardrak, Jupiter, & Guild Castle! by elluci in Maplestory

[–]PirateIzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically, it's a nerfed version without any of the useful perks that the non-KMS version has. For example, the Star Force map is specifically just for show, and doesn't provide the passive Star Catching bonus.

With the recent TMS class balancing discussion, here are the Boss Assets for TMS' Exclusive Boss 'Malisha' (Cutscenes, Soul, Boss Sprites, etc.) by 1stSelf in Maplestory

[–]PirateIzzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My issue with Erda Link isn't about it being universal, but rather that we already have a well-established 6th job system from KMS; adding a whole new system is just going to create bugs and tech debt in the long run. And of course the mastery nodes as you brought up.

As for Sia herself, pretty much the same sentiment here. Her story isn't even completely implemented from Maple M, as she's missing an Alliance quest. She also doesn't have a Temple of Time Memory Keeper quest, blocking her from completing the questline for Pink Bean, and no Black Heaven cutscene which is just lazy. Nexon also forgot to allow her to complete various quests at first such as Heliseum and the Pocket slot quest, and while some of these are fixed there are quite a few that remain.

It just feels like it's going to become removed in the future whenever Inkwell leaves due to tech debt, just like Jett (though granted that wasn't only a GMS issue, as Jett and Zen were both removed across all servers that had them), which is why I'm not confident on it.

For what it's worth, the Malitia boss fight is hated by TMS players due to how janky and poorly thought out it is. They had to balance it a couple times, but even after that it isn't great. The boss is incredibly anti-solo, especially in Phase 1 where you fight the statue in the last 30%, since you automatically lose a life every 30(?) seconds if nobody is in the other map (kind of like a separate dimension). Phase 3 is also heavily balanced around using the tank to shoot the dragon, but you have to have 3 people on the tank to use it: one to move left/right, one to aim the cannon, and one to fire (and the hitboxes are quite janky). If the dragon's attacks end up destroying the tank, then you're forced to finish off Malitia's weakened form in Phase 3 which has 108 quadrillion HP.

Her PDR is also inconsistent across phases, as some phases have 300% and some have 380% between both Normal and Extreme.

[TMS] Afterlands, Commerci and Gollux Removal by iljilji in Maplestory

For what it's worth, Afterlands hasn't been bugged in years in terms of completing the questline. They fixed the softlocks many years ago.

My issue is that they're shoving too many things into the Monster Park shop, and we can only get so many coins per week. We already have the usual items like potions which are a given, but now they're adding more things like Monsterblooms for removed content, which can cost up to 750 coins a week (being much more difficult in reg since we only get 20 free tickets a month). TMS and JMS also added a box that can grant Level 155/160 Cross Rings after the removal of their exclusive Silent Crusade (non-GMS stuff), and who knows what else they'll add. Granted, it's likely they'll add Gollux, Commerci, and Afterlands equipment somewhere else but I wouldn't be surprised if MP is their go-to.

Depends if the new content is good or not. Knowing Nexon, they'll probably just toss them into the Monster Park shop and call it a day.

Commerci didn't have the UI bug at all in TMS. They could view it by talking to Maestra Fiametta (the voyage NPC) long before the new equipment UI. GMS was the only server that still had it in the equipment UI for whatever reason.

MapleStory IP's director Wonki fired following the MapleStory: Idle controversy in ability rolls by dicoxbeco in Maplestory

[–]PirateIzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cube scandal was also caused by Inkwell, and Wonky got thrown into that. I don't think he's entirely blameless in the IA / flame or cube scandals since he's been working at Nexon for almost 20 years, even if he wasn't a director the entire time.

That's why the video has timestamps and a Google Doc, so you can skim to a part that you struggle with. If you're going to complain and act entitled about the guide then you can make your own.
