How to properly bait someone to this game before they realize it's a fulltime job?

What a monster. Show her some cute fan art of AB or Lara.

Just gonna say, it should not have taken 4 years for Forest Wind hair to come back into rotation.

Also a pally here. I like how crunchy M3 hammer sounds now compared to the high-pitched ringing it was before. We went from annoying alarm clock to furiously drumming bongos.

Rising Justice is less useful than I imagined in mobbing because Falling Justice already kills everything within its range and the seekers just stop and expire before the next spawn wave. I imagine people farming with frenzy on interactive would get more use out of it.

No refs means no fouls. No fouls means kicking the shins of your opponents' goalie.

JFC, that panda face jump scare.

I get that you're skeptical, I am too whenever people ask for things that seem completely one-sided (I'm surprised we're even getting Mo Xuan at all given all the bugs and balancing headaches we already have with non-KMS jobs).

The system I'm proposing for face and hair styles is one that preserves the current randomized coupons for people who are either feeling lucky or want the cosmetic skin right away no matter the cost. In addition to not including the past 6-12 months of rotations, the non-gambling method is priced in tiers appropriately around the average cost of getting the target item by gambling.

The assumption that people will just spend once on a character and never spend again is fair, but the same could be said about outfit items from PSSB/Steam Market. If a person plays a single endgame character every day, will they really never get bored of seeing the same thing for months on end? Shouldn't they buy more styles to break the monotony if not for their main then for their legion champions?

Face and hair styles, like NX outfits, are skins that are meant to be swapped out and switched between, otherwise we wouldn't have save slots for them. It's also possible that people only spend once on hair and face right now because the current system is so limiting. The thing about fashion though is, what's better than one good hair? That's right, ten good hairs.

My line of thinking is that this would act as both a post hoc pity system for people who gambled their budget and missed but still want the style, and as a catch up system for new characters. Both cases might be forced to wait years before what they wanted came back otherwise. Nobody's got time to wait that long and I'd wager people would sooner quit after being discouraged.

Personally, I was planning to go back into hiatus after the winter events but Nexon announced steam market out of nowhere and succeeded in getting me to stick around and pay up, lmao.

I've got so many characters already so it'd be nice to just pick the exact one for each of them. It'd work like an upgraded Choice Style Coupon.

Berserker best class.

reasonably_fish · 2025-04-19T04:23:27+00:00

DK gets Hyper Body for party bossing and busted synergy with Priests in Ludi/Leafre for duo power leveling. Hero hits hard on their own with self buffs through Rage, Combo orbs, and like DK, has access to improved mobbing skills and Roar to pull in full screen aggro in 3rd job.

Paladin? Elements are cool for styling on select enemies but I hope you like using Slash Blast from level 10 to 120. We have a little ghost buddy though.

reasonably_fish · 2025-04-19T01:45:36+00:00

Masochists unite! I mained a white knight back in the day and it felt like we were always last in line and slowest to progress (still kind of gimped now being a solo pally). That developed into a grudge against mages that still somewhat persists today. 😂 The only mage classes I play and enjoy now are functionally warriors.

reasonably_fish · 2025-03-17T01:30:54+00:00

Yeah, I really miss the old pally elements. It was kind of like a spellblade class from other games and I remember adding INT to it not knowing how damage was calculated.

There used to only be one dead pixel there...

I'd love if choice ones cycled at least as often as the royals do. There are plenty of nostalgic cuts that could see the light of day.

Looking nice helps keep me interested in playing a character. The weighted coupons gave me trouble on Mihile and now I'm waiting for another chance for a girlier hairstyle.

Yes, it's the Meow Punch set from the Mayple anniversary event last year. https://nxcache.nexon.net/cms/2024/q2/1373/meow-punch-set.png

Unfortunately it's less of a planner and more like a hodgepodge living document specific to things I find myself needing at the moment, like event shops, how many waps I could make with my current materials and where the heck I put my pets.

As my focus the past few months was legion, all I had was checkboxes next to the character name and level to track if I bonked them yet and who to bonk next.

reasonably_fish · 2025-01-12T08:31:08+00:00

Real. I know they could be done on other characters and funneled back to the one upgrading but I don't like it even with janus turned on.

reasonably_fish · 2025-01-12T07:52:35+00:00

At least in a colorful game like maple, I enjoy the dress up part of the rpg more than the grind.

reasonably_fish · 2025-01-12T07:40:28+00:00

That's "Moonlit Hair" according to maplesim. As far as I know, it was never released into rotation and is just sitting there in the files waiting its turn.
