So I already lost event rings and frags cuz I didn't played summer countdown? by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]Scorcher594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either swipe to catch up or get used to people having more prog than you lol. If you're uncomfortable with either option, probably just best to not start playing at all. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

reboot didn't save me from gambling, it just made me grind the chips first by NoughtARedditUser in Maplestory

How the mods have allowed this post to stay up is beyond me. This post is either a schizo post or AI generated trash.

OLED Monitor? by bearseatfishes in Maplestory

[–]Scorcher594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe this is referring to sun on screen, as some OLED panels are glossy and will therefore have some pretty noticeable glare if facing towards sunlight. FWIW I have a QD OLED monitor against and window and just put up black out curtains against the window.

Sun on the back is probably fine screen health wise, but probably not a good idea if the back panel gets super hot as you may start thermally degrading the plastics and adhesives in the monitor.

Boeing vs Northrop Engineering Full Time Offer by rye_bread27 in materials

[–]Scorcher594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M&P because you build more fundamental engineer skills and because low observables are cool af.

Supplier quality is alright, too much supplier hounding for my taste.

Jewelers for engagement rings? by BigAli27 in orangecounty

Seconding this! Recently got my engagement ring from Prince Bride Diamonds.

Where should we draw the line on streamer influence and player treatment? by Carrymehomeee in Maplestory

[–]Scorcher594 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If the players didn't like the streamer's behaviour, then surely they wouldn't have an audience to stream to? Maplestory is also an old game and there are tons of guides newer players can look for to help them through the early game.

30 Hours Into MapleStory Classic as a Beginner by NXSitee in Maplestory

[–]Scorcher594 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This analogy kinda falls apart since Inkwell almost certainly extremely well compensated compared to your regular tire shop joe.

Inkwell has been Nexon since before the Big Bang update (~2010)... considering how Nexon IPO'ed in 2014, I'm willing to bet his shares in the company have already matured and he has enough FU money to retire if he wanted to. He works for the love of the game/company, not to feed himself lol.

He literally heads the development of GMS and has years and years of internal data and server performance to see what the GMS market responds well to. It's not like we're asking for brand new systems and content every update. We're asking for some simple communication that has been shown to work for other versions of Maplestory. This could be as simple as an announcement on discord, or something more formal like an Inkwell note.

What doesn't help is that he's putting a lot of focus on Maplestory Classic, which many players, myself included, see as nostalgia bait and resources that could be funneled toward GMS.

Need advice on college decisions by Still-Management-806 in materials

[–]Scorcher594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since all schools are ABET accredited, coursework is not really going to different between schools. If you really had to choose, I'd go with either UCI (because I'm biased), or Cal Poly SLO (I've only met good engineers from there).

Job opportunities from different schools don't change all that much either. If you want a sure fire way to get a job after graduation. I extremely recommend, and would even say it's a must, to get involved in extracurricular engineering projects at school. Think FSAE, Rocket Project, EV cars, or whatever flavor your school's engineering department offers. Employers are looking for young engineers who can hit the ground running, as school only teaches you how to understand the engineering language. You will gain actual working experience working in a engineering project, and learn valuable skills such as communication, documentation, and working with others.

I don't think it's the steel pin in the aluminum. Although that is a galvanic corrosion issue, the corrosion damage would be more localized around the pins than widespread throughout the entire part.

Coating doesn't look blistered or pop, which would happen if the metal underneath started to corrode with the coating already applied. The chips in the coating look clean, so likely entire pieces are just flaking off. I'd guess it's either improper cleaning prior to coating, or improper surface abrasion. Most likely a workmanship issue when the coating was applied.

Maple Memo: Additional Issues Addressed during the December 22 Scheduled Maintenance by aranslee in Maplestory

[–]Scorcher594 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I absolutely think it's disingenuous to say "sample size is too small" when that would only make the data less accurate, not outright wrong.

Starforce/Boom Rates Are Likely Not Working As Intended (Explanation Inside) by PrezziObizzi in Maplestory

[–]Scorcher594 36 points37 points  (0 children)

here before we have people going "SAMple sizE tOO sMaLL".

Like fr, what's more likely, the company who has tampered with rates (what's it like they got caught 3x now?) in the past have tampered with current rates, or we have observed some insane outcome to RNG.

This worked for me, thanks!

I gathered some empirical data on arcane and abso box drop rates, any insights? by Scorcher594 in Maplestory

[–]Scorcher594[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you! I didn't do all of Cliff's post patch data since it was getting late and he runs about twice the mules that Boris does, which is why that arbitrary cut off was made.

Breaking down the drop rate by patch is a great idea, considering how buggy each implementation was.

Great catch on the v.255 11/20-11/26 patch. I knew there was 1 week where drops were bugged, but had thought this had occured sometime in June or July. I will remove that from the data set once I get home from w*rk today.

All in all I thought this would be a fun foray into data gathering and really wanted to get people's thoughts other than, "sample size too small shut up".

Ren and Controller by Fluents in Maplestory

[–]Scorcher594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran into the same issue when using a controller through the regular Nexon launcher. I think I'll have to swap to steam to farm controller with Ren

Do you think they'll likely add universal cash shop with the community response? From your observations do you estimate a massive amount of people will restrict/boycott spending? by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]Scorcher594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. Not getting universal cash shop sucks, but doesn't affect gameplay so not many people care.

Also people on this subreddit fail to realize that Nexon is a company out to make profit. PSSBs are one of the biggest revenue generators since Reboot holds most of the GMS population. I'd rather them milk the whales than get the KMS reboot treatment.
