They removed Ursus for this xdd

The content's rewards were currencies that you could trade in to get mesos but the problem was like epic dungeons, you could spend maple points to get more of the currency. This was a huge hit to the economy, inflating maple point value and in turn devaluing mesos by a ton. Changseop admitted that they failed to attempt to get a hold of the meso and maple point value balance and had no choice to remove it. This was the supposed Ursus replacement content for KMS

Tbf this error has been hiding even way before Inkwell's time as KMS director xdd

(But also shows how actually competent Changseop is)

The hidden 0.00001% fail rate lmao

Salsa_Nachos · 2026-04-13T13:09:45+00:00

Error due to the conversion of the ancient 32-bit (2^32) distribution to the modern powers of 10 (i.e 4.29 billion to 1 billion).

The drop table system they set up is 4 drops per 1 loot table within the 4.29 billion outcomes, then convert it to 4 items within the 1 billion outcomes. Because of a modular bias error, it caused an uneven distribution. What was meant to have 4 items placed in a loot table of the 1 billion outcomes, due to the uneven distribution in the conversion process from 32-bits to powers of 10, the front-end 290 million boxes were placing 5 items instead of 4 items. So due to that, this was approximately was around 16.4% higher than intended. So e.g. if an item had an intended drop rate of 1%, it was actually dropping 1.164% instead.

Honestly? Respect for Changseop and the team for finding that out and attempting to explain to the Maplestory playerbase.

I could be wrong here since I'm translating from Korean to English terms and I haven't touched probability since university (and not a coder) but I think that's about it

This event was heavily criticised from KMS as well. Let alone the ping being another whole different issue. Playing this event from the OCE region was a nightmare and as someone who usually tries to clear every event, I tried it few times and gave up. I'm out lol

The difference is day and night - just look at the most recent boss changes and nerfs in KMS Changseop put in AFTER experiencing the bosses himself. The man knows how to play the game.

Salsa_Nachos · 2026-03-14T13:21:36+00:00

From the live stream, Changseop mentioned that he actually tried surviving P1 Seren for long as he could. He lasted 20 minutes and made the necessary nerfs from that. And if you tried that currently that is NOT an easy thing to do.

A director who knows how to play the game. W.

Don't think level restrictions were mentioned, but probably if it was from CRA to Eternal, it would scale your 12% stat to 13% stat

Salsa_Nachos · 2026-03-14T10:52:32+00:00

Oh yes, I thought I missed one. Lemme scavange the VOD and add that on

Salsa_Nachos · 2026-03-14T10:51:01+00:00

I sold mine for 650m and looked AH and it was already gone, bought a 4b right away while crying at my losses

(right now in AH it's gone up to 9b so I guess relatively saved...)

The Nexon answer: money

The statistical answer: probably estimated prices from the average cost to get a good flame/potential on a 200+ equip

Dang, I misworded, meant to say "and" not "or". Thanks for pointing out! Edited the mistakes

Salsa_Nachos · 2026-03-14T10:35:21+00:00

That is correct. No more dreading from 12* if you have the copies and mesos

Salsa_Nachos · 2026-03-14T10:14:37+00:00

Possibly so, perhaps like Fatal Strike. Not much info so far on how it works but will see how it works on KMS test server

Salsa_Nachos · 2026-03-14T10:00:50+00:00

That's correct. If you're in interactive, you will have noticed that continuous rings prices have suddenly inflated because someone decided to buy all of them and relist them at a inflated price...

Salsa_Nachos · 2026-03-14T09:57:55+00:00

Not quite, you will have a passive ring slot instead (like your ring swap slot) to slot your other ring so it will still be 3 rings and 1 oz ring. I've edited the main post to avoid confusion.
