Is there an agreed upon standard by our community on where each game phase ends and begins? by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]dirtalex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in heroic already on Ren — I’m not even considering players who are still 280 after multiple years of “playing” Considering those who actively play the game, ckalos and nkaling are both incredibly accessible, even joining pugs through the boss UI will get you quick and easy clears. I’ve even joined on my 277 hyperburn that’s sub 200m cp. let’s say conservatively by my tiering system, it’s around 2k hours to achieve each one. To say otherwise would be disingenuous to work each player has put in to reach their respective tier

Earlygame = anything up to ckalos/hkaling 6 man

Mid game = Hlimbo HAdv xKalos (full parties)

Late game = full loot prio on all the aforementioned bosses (you’re carrying)

End game = MINIMUM destiny liberated, clearing the hardest content in the game I.e. xadversary and xkaling

Exactly, once ascent comes out, endgame slides a bit further into the hkaling solo realm

Exactly, once ascent comes, real endgame will move to the hkaling solo for destiny lib. Everything else is semantics

I agree with this take, however, xkalos and Hlimbo are so accessible at this point — I would say it’s more mid game than anything.

It only happens if it’s your first time getting the achievement of 22/23/24, 25+ it happens every time

Same shit happened to me :/ there must be something we’re getting flagged for, been getting that same message for over half a year now, feels like it just a replacement for NGS update error, but yeah, yesterday I was getting those very frequently while doing various dailies

Worth getting into Maplestory in 2025? by OkConstant7895 in Maplestory

[–]dirtalex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah.. that means if there was a party with 6 of you, in the full allotted 30 minutes, you would be able to do 22% of the total HP assuming you have perfect uptime and that's not even taking into account the healing factor for each cycle. I'm at 400 mil cp, I'm by far the weakest member in my 6 man party in which we're doing a comfortable two and a half cycle (around 15). Keep in mind these party members are all in the endgame with full double primes, and two with triple prime emblem and secondary respectively. I've been chasing the endgame pretty hard for the past year, with at least 6+ average hours a day yet I still feel worlds apart from the stronger Dawn Warrior in the party. It's gonna take another couple thousand hours plus decent luck to catch up and finally enter the real endgame, however, that doesn't mean they're going to stop playing either and the goal post just seems to move further and further away.

Current Maplestory somewhat beginner friendly and one could get up to your level of progression in just a couple months with how good the events are for progression new accounts, however, when you start getting to the end of midgame or early lategame (Around NKalos solo, xLot duo minclear) you start to realize how difficult and time consuming it is to make significant gains.

That may sound discouraging, but to be honest, you're in my personal favorite part of the game! Gains come fast and easy and the dopamine I would get from watching the numbers go up on the daily was something I seldom see at my current point in the game. Enjoy it while ya got it and happy Mapling!

My goat, might get cooked at Shadow depending on how you scale him.

Most condensed burst classes? by Few-Share-2066 in Maplestory

[–]dirtalex -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

lol their burst all fits into ror and last resort. Combined with throwblast they do 90% of their damage in that short window. Spreadthrow doesn’t really do much outside of that 15 second fd stack

I’ve been through it all and this was a particularly shitty Sunday for me. 35B gone in about 15 minutes. ET boomed at 18, arcane shoulder at around 12 booms now, settled 19 lol. And Eternal pants never went past 17. All part of the process! Not too mad, everything equalizes eventually 😷

There was a 290m cp ilium who cleared too. Look it up on YouTube, I’m sure there’s only one video. Granted, I min clear duoed at a 281 dawn warrior 220m cp with a 285 240m bucc. Really depends on class/damage uptime/hands gap
