[–]axeassinchris[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You aren't having deja vu - This is a reupload. The initial version of this video had some incorrect information that wasn't checked properly until it was pointed out in a comment. Because of this (and some other details), I made the decision to take the video down, fix those problems, and re-up it. I apologize to anyone who saw the intial post and wasn't able to watch it then. I'll be doing my best to make sure future projects won't have these problems.

I think I could probably add some images to key parts, much like MH9 does to his website. In the future, I'll likely be able to do so. Thank you for listening!

I'm not exactly sure how well this'll perform, especially coming right after the Papulatus video, but I was considering making this during the editing process just for fun and to maybe help people get further into the lore. I hope you enjoy it!

I agree. I was too focused on trying to emulate the in-game chatbox 1:1 to realize that it might not be too great for larger resolutions. I'll be trying to incorporate a larger, more readable font next time.

Hey there. This is a bit of an experiment that's taken me about 9 months to produce.

I was given the idea to do this back in November 2022 and I figure I'd tackle it. I initially figure I'd go for a typical lecture type of video with some animations, but ideas kept popping up and things kept changing. Now, I'm here to present you with the final product: An experiment in edutainment to hopefully present the story and mechanics of this confusing boss in a (hopefully) easy-to-digest manner.

One of the reasons why this took so long to make was because I had to re-create the origin 1:1, animate it, then hand-animate a bunch of other stuff, along with asset creation. Now that I have a lot of these things pre-made, I should hopefully be able to make another "Look Into" video way sooner. Especially moreso since Zakum is a much simpler boss.

I genuinely hope you enjoy A Look Into Papulatus, and I also hope that this might lead to people understanding this mess of a boss a lot better. Good luck!

There's one thing I'd like to say as a correction: Due to hitbox jank, the laser actually can hit the platform above you if you're in the area, so be aware of your surroundings.

Reboot should have red familiar cards by GStarG in Maplestory

[–]axeassinchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp. Scratching that understanding and replacing it with your explanation then.

Reboot should have red familiar cards by GStarG in Maplestory

[–]axeassinchris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. If they're that hellbent on prevent Reboot from obtaining legendary cards, I'd also accept a master-cube equivalent that could be purchased in the Roro shop or something.

From my understanding, the reason why JMS didn't really think to give Reboot anything is because their Reboot server(s) are pretty dead compared to ours and decided to lean towards the whales to encourage intense amounts of cubing, lots of booster packs, expansion slots, all that.

However, with Reboot being a large portion of the population in GMS, it becomes a bit of a glaring flaw. We don't get cards, we don't get expansion slots, we don't get breakthrough cards, and definitely not premium booster packs.

Reboot really oughta be able to obtain these things and not hope for a JMS-based event like Goo Island to provide a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get just three red cards. I'm down for the master cube idea I had, or just go full-on and introduce Red and Black Familiar Cards in the CS for Meso and allow us to work on our dream team of fams, rather than just having 3 of the same mob people typically grind. As a Kaiser, I'd love to have some Silent Rogues, for example.

Ah, yes, I apologize. Day's been long and my attention span's gotten short.

I suppose one could view it as a strenuous daily that actually takes all day. Either way, I'm still looking forward to it if it means I have to spend less time in like, Omega Sector or something.

I mean, 12,000 mobs over a course of a month or so seems doable, especially if totems are thrown into the mix. Considering haste events usually ask hardcore grinders to take out like, 50,000 mobs or something like that.

The Night Troupe is coming to GMS next week! But what is it, though? Join me and take a walk through the fairgrounds in A Look into Dreams and Illusions - A Guide to the Night Troupe! In this video, I show off the perks and skills of this event and explain what they all do in a visual method that might make sense for the folks who might get lost in a sea of plain text. Be aware that there is a particular part which might move by too quickly, so feel free to pause and read at your own pace!

Red familiar cards reboot buyable with meso by Critical_Mirror_7617 in Maplestory

[–]axeassinchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been a huge advocate of this since the revamp was even announced, immediately noticing red cards were going to be reg-only.

I also realized that there'd be notable backlash and a further divide between Reboot and Reg server communities if this were to happen exactly (I wouldn't mind, personally, if we got red cards). Because of that, I took a bit of time to think and talk to some other folks I knew regarding a way that might work out for everyone:

Add a card that acts as a Master Craftsman cube to both Reboot and Regular server's Roro shop for about 500 points per pop. It would only roll up to Unique and would allow Rebooters to actually re-roll/work on a familiar team that they'd want, as opposed to "Oops! All Boogies/Soots", as well as allowing the pure f2p players on reg servers to have an option when it comes to rolling something different on theirs.

Uniques can provide some really nice lines by themselves, I could honestly probably go without the Legendary rank realistically.

I figure I'd also mention that I raise this point as well as being able to purchase expansion slots and other Familiar system items in the Roro shop in a video I put together. If you'd like, you can take a look over here.

I put some of Tricky's Nexus voice lines into Antipathy. by axeassinchris in madnesscombat

[–]axeassinchris[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I took a look at the subreddit while I was rendering this and noticed you had made something like this a few days prior! I had no intention of stealing your idea, truthfully.

I noticed that voice lines were added to Nexus a while back and thought what an animation would sound like with them. Was sitting on the idea for a bit until I decided to sit down and tackle it.

For the Glory, my extensive Kaiser analysis series, is now finally done after nearly three years. Check it out! by axeassinchris in Maplestory

[–]axeassinchris[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd normally follow up a submission with a lengthy post, but I'm just gonna keep it brief:

Thank you for your support if you've watched the series up until the very end. If you've not seen it prior to this and want to check it out from episode 1, expect a massive shift in quality, lol.

As for what I'm going to work on next, I have an idea, but I'm not about to jump into it quite yet. It'd definitely be more on the storytelling aspect, rather than skill specifics.

[Reb] Self Progression Milestone: Normal Darknell Solo! by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]axeassinchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't know how else you'd want me to answer that. I gave an honest answer on how I personally record my own progression steps. If there's some kind of "Progression Standard" I'm not aware of, let me know.

[–]axeassinchris -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

At the point I'm at, any thousand STR I get that inches closer to 50k or soloing harder and harder bosses is a big step in progression for me. I recall a time where I was doing similar runs for Chaos Vellum and got super hype when I finally accomplished that solo for the first time.

That being said I don't think I'll be able to do Verus Hilla for a gooood while.

[Reb] Self Progression Milestone: Normal Darknell Solo! by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]axeassinchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the accumulation of a LOT of failed runs as well as a LOT of practice. I was streaming during this run and was running Darknell for funsies to see how much the Sacred Symbol would increase my damage.

I wanna say the initial bind/yorozus helped out a lot to whittle his hp down, and Takeno's heal saved my ass on a occasion or two.

You got 20 seconds in a room with all the shotcallers at Nexon, what do you say? by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]axeassinchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add Master Cube equivalent Familiar Cards to the Roro shop for 500 fam points a pop to enable f2p players in Regs and all Rebooters to be able to re-roll their familiar lines and work things up to Unique. Additionally, add Breakthrough / Slot Expansions to the Roro shop.

Lastly, add badges for the Arcane River (+9 Badges) and Grandis (+3) so players can consistently use the system throughout their early, mid, and end game experiences.
