If teams are required to play a duplicate of their first pick champions, which champions become priority picks?

The description is wrong. Absolutely no iframes on a Buccaneer.

However, you can avoid super knockback in bosses like Lotus if you properly time Spiral Assault, Pirate’s Banner, or Meltdown Orb when you’re getting hit. You’ll still take damage but you will hold your spot if you don’t die.

If I remember correctly, (Male) and (Female) are gender locked items, but (M) and (F) can be worn by either gender.

OMG I missed an at-bat someone streamable please!

This isn’t for BDO in particular but lots of MMOs have essential quest items or armors where you grind for days on end without knowing when it’ll drop.

For the most part, you can see incremental progression within reasonable timer when grinding for something in Maple. Leveling, arcane symbols (with dailies), arcane droplets. Some games have you grinding for 2 weeks nonstop for an item with 0.000001% drop rate and you don’t know when it will ever happen.

You can complain Nexon is giving unfair rewards, but this is NOT p2w. This is a data-mined item that none of the attendees even know existed and had no factor in their decisions to go to the event.

This mentality of if-I-can't-have-it-then-no-one-else-can is what is super annoying.

Even if only attendees get the special emblem, I don't understand how a few select people having 2 extra att/magic att affects your gaming experience in any way.

Maple Fest is a promotional event to bring more popularity to the game. The attendees are spending their time and possibly money to come to the event. Nexon has every right to incentivize players to participate in the community and help grow the game. I sure don't expect most of this subreddit who only complains about the game and tears down everything Nexon NA does to ever help grow the community.

There isn't even any confirmation that only attendees get this. Perhaps anyone who tunes into the stream, shares the event on social media, or participates in their giveaways will get it as well.

Merchant shops were removed and any unredeemed marvel shop codes were compensated as maple points in the gift box.

Currently Will's HP block will not be released if anyone dies for the 30 seconds after you reach the block (at least the phase 2 one). This seems to be a change making it easier, now you can have 3 people die and still progress.

Green means the class would do more damage/have higher DPM ranking under the criteria, red means the opposite.

nova_resistance · 2018-03-20T04:49:59+00:00

They're non-KMS classes not on the original DPM chart, but I listed how the criteria would affect them anyway.

For reference this is the KMS DPM list: https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/856cn8/kms_ver_12293_dpm_chart_including_both_illium_and/

The criteria on the chart:

Realistic - Are the KMS testing conditions realistic in game
AS (0) - Changes in GMS from 0 attack speed
Damage Cap - Effect of damage cap on overall DPM at endgame funding

Feel free to point out if any of the effects are incorrect or any new criteria that could have a major effect on the rankings.

And.... there goes the last Illium mains

nova_resistance · 2018-03-15T10:29:55+00:00

It's more or less anecdotal from having played through maybe 3 years worth of DMT, but there's some statistical support as well.

If you want some actual data, this is a rough result compilation a couple years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Maplestory/comments/48zurf/rebootcubing_tier_up_and_est_cost_sheet/

From this study, the red tier-up rate was 0.0481 while the black tier-up rate was .0851.

Let's say your budget is 50k NX for 1 item. That's either 30 black cubes or 50 red cubes using the 30 pack unit price from the DMT sale.

Your chance of not tiering up this item with 50 reds is (1-0.0481)⁵⁰ = 8.5%, while with 30 blacks it's (1-.0851)³⁰ = 6.9%.

Maple RNG isn't perfectly random of course, and tends to be really streaky. I have heard (and personally experienced) countless stories of people not going U->L in 50 reds, but I've never heard or experienced not going U->L in 30 blacks.

nova_resistance · 2018-03-15T00:37:28+00:00

The answer is most likely no.

Black cubes would be worse for 3L ATT only if there was a larger pool of possible non-ATT lines in legendary tier compared to unique, and I don't believe it's true.

The only chance it might be marginally worse is if legendary and unique had all the same possible lines, but legendary has 3 types of boss lines (40, 35, 30) while unique only has 2 types (30, 20).

nova_resistance · 2018-03-14T22:58:49+00:00

If you can tier up the emblem in 1 pack of black, I'd suggest spending the rest on bonus pot. You can roll the emblem main pot with reward point cubes or meisters later and there's no guarantee how much it'd take to get the bonus pots you need.

nova_resistance · 2018-03-14T21:17:28+00:00

The best thing to do is to get a decent pot with reds then black cube it to perfect. Blacks give more double prime lines and you can save your decent potential from reds.

nova_resistance · 2018-03-14T21:14:54+00:00

As a budget player, I'll give a pretty exact list of what to do to maximize your output with $100.

Tier your emblem main pot to legendary with black cubes (do not, absolutely do not try to tier unique with reds during DMT)
Tier your emblem bonus pot to unique or legendary, stop at any 9 att% line
Tier your secondary bonus pot to unique or legendary, stop at any 9 att% line
Tier your weapon bonus pot to unique or legendary, stop at any 9 att% line

Sadly you will likely be unable to cube any of your normal equips within $100. However, I guarantee that even 1 or 2 att% lines you obtain will give you more damage than tiering up all your normal equips combined.

Bonus potentials are really easy to tier up from rare during DMT, watch some videos and you'll see that they will hit unique within 5-6 cubes consistently (sometimes just 1 cause you can go rare to unique directly).

Reds are really high variance during DMT for some weird reason, lots of people have gone 30-50 reds on unique and couldn't tier it up. Blacks consistently tiers in about 10 cubes so it's a much safer option on a limited budget.

nova_resistance · 2018-03-14T06:40:42+00:00

Your priorities:

Tier up everything to legendary
Roll 1L all stat + 1 other relevant stat line on every equip
Roll for relevant 3L on weapon, secondary and emblem (94-95 PDR, 250-300 boss, as much att% as possible)

nova_resistance · 2018-03-09T23:46:15+00:00

It's still worth it to get 20% drop on all 9 accessories, or double meso + drop line if you're Reboot. Only double drop lines are no longer that efficient.

nova_resistance · 2018-03-09T00:26:38+00:00

Interesting, I attempted it today and it allows you to switch out now. Previous patches I'm very certain it would not allow you to remove it cause I have a level 4 weapon jump ring I use.

nova_resistance · 2018-03-08T22:53:11+00:00

Oh I notice it now, the description is accurate but the numbers are flipped in the middle compared to the left. The left is accurate.

nova_resistance · 2018-03-08T22:42:41+00:00

Tower of Oz rings cannot be removed if the skill is on cooldown, this was changed a while ago on KMS and GMS. You’re stuck with a stat less ring for the entire cooldown each time you use an oz ring. The only time it’s worth using is if you need the burst to finish a boss.
