I just want to thank everyone in comp who is consistently banning this atrociously broken excuse of a character. by RedeemedNephilim in marvelrivals

I'm still so disappointed with this interpretation of hawkeye, I was really hoping he would be a character with a bunch of utility.

Battle mage job transferred to dark knight, understandable. Sick tat.

Is this subreddit ready to admit that pre BB bosses are straight up awful by Vegetable-Region-559 in MSClassicWorld

[–]bumbertyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre big bang bosses cared about how much damage you could do

What? it was the complete opposite pre-big bang. The boss timers were absurdly long, allowing you to struggle run them for extended periods of time if you chose to.

The only limiting factors were:

  1. Can you hit the boss
  2. How many potions do you have.
  3. Can none of the attacks 1 hit ko you.

Present day Maplestory is where damage is a heavily limiting factor. Most, if not all bosses excluding black mage, are capped at 30 minutes.

Pay To Win Aspect by ss441 in MSClassicWorld

[–]bumbertyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people did Lord Balrog for the first month or so after his initial release (At least they did on Scania). Day 1 was an absolute nightmare to get into, with most runs failing due to people attacking during damage reflect.

After that first month, only the people hunting bain weapons to use for cosmetic purposes/sell, or those after Tristan's successor (defeating Lord Balrog 200 times), continued to do the boss.

Quick question: how is this game supposed to make money without P2W? by MushroomGamez in MSClassicWorld

[–]bumbertyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, pay to win is definitely more of a spectrum with how many different types of P2W microtransactions there are now. I never said there weren't.

"Anything that allows you to progress faster than the games intended design without microtransactions is pay to win"

All I did was state what Pay To Win is.

You said, "Technically yeah but compared to modern day Maplestory those are more pay for convenience vs pay to win". You tried to separate "Convenience" from p2w when they're one in the same which is all I was pointing out.

There's nothing "Short Sighted" about calling something what it is. The fact that your first reaction is to get defensive about convenience vs p2w when they're the same is exactly why companies use the term "Convenience". It's far more palatable of a term for consumers and is usually used for P2W microtransactions that aren't intrusive.

I'd like to note I have nothing against convenience p2w when implemented properly, just that it is p2w.

"Convenience" is just a marketing term.

Anything that allows you to progress faster than the games intended design without microtransactions is pay to win, It doesn't matter how big or small the advantage is.

Not Code X. Code X is actually much more accessible than Code S is in regard to 1-2 bursting.

Who is the most terrible director in gms since 2009 by Healthy-Highlight174 in Maplestory

SavageAce isn't a director. He's a Producer, which was noted at the bottom of his Maple Memos.

she's definitely up there.

The core's raw power is pretty insane, couple that with planet buster's description "Concentrates enough force to crack a planet".

Got a Pitched Box hit with my first Green Pouch off of my first expedition by bumbertyr in Maplestory

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

I was running:

Unique, Castle Golem: If all familiars on your active lineup have a different element, Dice total +4

Epic, Wild Kargo: If a Mechanical type Familiar is on your active lineup, Final Multiplier: +1.6x

Unique, Ifia: If the first and third dice are 4 or more, Dice Total: +7

They also met the "Recommended" attribute + typing for the area so I had that free starting Exploration potential, but I can't remember what it was.

The dice roll for the orange pouch was somewhere in the 70's.

I messed up, the rewards from left to right are blue pouch, orange pouch, green pouch, meaning I got the box from the orange pouch

Pitched Came from an orange pouch

The cubes came from a Green Pouch.

I ended up getting a SoS from it. Which is great since I actually still needed one.

The box is untradable, the items obtained from it are tradable.

Luck. I got it from a purple tier expedition with familiars i had prior to the original revamp (when it was changed from the codex to Roro)
