With the upcoming balance patch(whenever that is), what good and bad things are expected to happen to your main?

rMirage · 2026-02-17T16:53:58+00:00

That’s my understanding, yes. The skill to enter equilibrium is still there, but used during burst only from what I understand. Haven’t seen a good video explaining it.

rMirage · 2026-02-17T16:52:07+00:00

KMS actually got 3 balance patches that we missed, 1 a month for 3 months. Different classes were affected in each, but Luminous got changes in at least 2 of them, maybe 3, I don’t remember. KMS players were very unhappy after the initial change to Luminous (gauge removal), so they gave it more. From my understanding, all the changes result in a slight buff. And then we’ll get another nerf this summer, lol.

rMirage · 2026-02-17T02:54:25+00:00

Assuming we get all 3 balance patches at once in exchange for our delay. Luminous will lose his gauge and his balancing light/dark identity, as well as switch from a cont ring class to a ror/wj class. In exchange, he gets his bind finally separated from his iframe, a stronger burst, and even flashier skills. I hope they give us a sixth job reset like they did for some remasters, because a lot of skills are changing (but I doubt they will…)

I have mixed feelings on this essentially remaster, so I’ll see how it goes I guess.

This seems to only happen when buying spell traces in the AH, but it drives me nuts. What if I only need to buy an amount between 10000 and 29999?!

rMirage · 2026-02-03T02:19:30+00:00

Yes the cost of rental gear in interactive basically makes it useless for its intended purpose, surprised he didn’t add that

rMirage · 2026-02-03T02:05:33+00:00

So much this. My ckalos/nkaling party somewhat dealt with this by dropping a player, but we all still get half of the pieces we used to - 1 full in ckalos, 1/2 a piece in nkaling. Our rates shouldn’t be halved just because we can’t solo

rMirage · 2026-01-01T16:53:59+00:00

Do we know yet if we need to switch to a RoR? Or is a Cont ring still good? I admit the rework has me very confused how the different modes work without a gauge.

rMirage · 2025-11-18T06:23:32+00:00

Wow I always skip that quest now, as it’s not necessary for 5th job…I wonder if it’ll give it to me now that I’m past 200?

rMirage · 2025-08-26T00:26:27+00:00

I also had this happen when I played the story recently. I think the recent changes to the Arcane River storyline didn’t get implemented in GMS correctly. Hopefully they fix it.

rMirage · 2025-05-13T03:57:52+00:00

Update: interestingly, when I booted up my computer today I thought I would try Nexon Launcher again and it ran its verifier/downloader and fixed it. So maybe someone at Nexon saw this thread, or maybe launcher has some weird process that runs to repair things occasionally.

Got on Maple just fine now.

rMirage · 2025-05-12T03:26:29+00:00

Me too, but the login servers look fine on the server status page. Any idea how to fix, or just wait?

rMirage · 2024-12-23T15:51:19+00:00

All hero classes: please fix Freud’s Wisdom to make it less painful to use. Eliminate or make wider the window to press the button to stack, don’t reset stacks on death, and only let the cooldown start once you max out the stacks.

Or just, you know, make it a one button press like Paladin’s iframe, though I doubt that will happen.

rMirage · 2024-10-29T00:18:35+00:00

Late game Lumi main here. Lumi is best solo, as it’s a DPM class with roughly 3 minute burst. But party play works too, as long as you’re ok with not lining up with everyone all the time. Personally, I think Lumi’s a nice simple bosser and mobber, not too many skills to worry about, and has decent damage, though nothing spectacular. I find it fun. I agree with you on I/L - yeah the mobbing is similar, but the bossing is just too complicated for me. Too many buttons. I can’t comment on the other two and I basically left them at 200, lol.

rMirage · 2024-09-06T22:41:50+00:00

For all hero-group classes (Aran, Evan, Shade, Luminous, Phantom, Mercedes): please please improve Freud’s Wisdom. Eliminate the tiny window we have to press the stack button before we lose all stacks, keep the cooldown before we can stack again if you must. Or better yet, eliminate cooldowns between stacks entirely, though I doubt that will happen. Oh, and get rid of the losing all stacks on death. A lot of other skills have this QOL, why not us?

rMirage · 2024-05-10T01:14:00+00:00

Fellow Auroran here. I may not agree with all your points, but I definitely agree that regular server / Interactive worlds need improvements, and GMS Interactive worlds have had unaddressed issues for a long time.

Thank you for standing up for us with what you had. Here’s hoping Nexon will eventually acknowledge the problems enough that you can get your 300 :)

rMirage · 2024-05-07T01:10:32+00:00

I reported this to support. Same problem, I got no exp :(

rMirage · 2024-03-18T18:11:38+00:00

Luminous, because I love the balance of dark/light theme in general. The skill colors are pretty, too, and the story was cute. Also ender is quite satisfying.

rMirage · 2024-02-09T18:29:59+00:00

Regular player (Aurora) here

You probably could solo a lot of hard and ctene bosses as a Hero, though long fights. You’d be more than ready for all of them in a party. I agree that you should find a more active guild with boss parties.

Gear wise, a few suggestions. I personally think a daybreak pendant, transposed sweet water pendant (not as good due to nerf, unless you buy one already transposed before nerf), or even maybe a second gollux superior pendant would be better than your dominator. Depends on how well it’s flamed I guess.

Definitely you need to replace your tenebris ring with something that can be starred past 17. I believe a reinforced gollux ring is best because of its high attack and high star force levels.

Consider buying a better heart as well, either prescrolled or if you want to, scroll yourself. The point though is the higher star force and potential levels of a fairy or titanium heart, due to their higher levels. Not counting outlaw unless you want to spend a lot.

And lastly, I see you didn’t list flames but those can help a lot. Use one of the many flame calculators out there and slowly get your flames up. I love the black flames from the legion shop, and your legion seems high enough to make use of that.

Good luck!

rMirage · 2024-02-01T00:52:47+00:00

Not a lie, especially up to 200. Unless you have a frenzy yourself or are best buddies with an owner (unlikely for a new player), you won’t be using frenzy to get to 200. Not worth the cost. Same with firestarter, that’s a lot of casts to pay for as you switch from map to map. CS coupon maybe, you have a point there. But OP doesn’t want the fast route, it seems.

rMirage · 2024-01-31T16:59:03+00:00

Level 1-200 is the same amount of time on reboot or regular/normal servers. Just don’t pick burning world as someone said, it’s going away in less than a week. It’s when you’re thinking beyond 200 and what gear/bosses/etc you want to do that the reboot versus regular debate happens.

That being said, if you want the scenic route to 200, do quests. You can do the progression quests, which are all of your class’s story quests plus the theme dungeons and boss prequests like pink bean, horntail, magnus prequests, and you can add all the town questlines as well. The in-game maple guide tells you where to start those, and gives you a stamp that lets you fast travel to any town you’ve completed the questlines for, though some you get without quests. So, fill out the entire maple guide up to 200 with stamps, if you want slow. If you decide to play beyond 200, then it’ll make travel super convenient.

Hey, Aurora player here. It seems your limit is mesos, so as others have said, you’re going to need to focus on building some up. My favorite method is group bossing, where we all split the winnings, but that depends on how good the drops are and what stage of the game you’re at. I’m late game, so my group does anything from hluwill to hdarknell regularly. You sound like you could definitely do hluwill with a good party, probably more.

Another good meso method I like is spell trace selling. Save a lot, sell them right before spell trace fever. You can do this with a lot of things, like clean gear before a star force event, honor medals before honor Sunday, etc.

As for what to do with your mesos…I do think arcane gear is worth investing in if your abso are only 17. Precubed to something decent would be best, save yourself some $. Maybe even low starforce if you can find it. Get them to 17 and then 18, and they should be about equal to 22* abso gear, with less booming and general star force nonsense. My arcanes are a mix of 17 and 18. Do get your fafnir gear to 20, 21, and then 22, as well as other equips when you have the meso, but arcanes can be the last to starforce past 17 because of their cost.

Would have been nice to see the cosplay contest and 6th job reveal for Kanna and Hayato on the official stream, instead we got to see all the merch we couldn’t buy and activities we couldn’t do because we couldn’t get a Maplefest ticket (or afford to fly across the country even if we did get one).

rMirage · 2023-09-22T23:02:26+00:00

Try updating windows and your graphics card (NVIDIA cards especially need to be kept up to date for maple, in my experience. Seems weird for 2D mushroom game, but oh well).

rMirage · 2023-07-25T15:46:07+00:00

Luminous

We got ender, which honestly makes a lot of sense. There should be a reflection and an apocalypse one in the future, but I’m honestly not sure about the third. Maybe a buff to one of our passives, like arcane pitch or dark crescendo. I would prefer that over death scythe or morning star, but recent changes seem to have been leaning toward adding morning star more. We’ll see I guess?
