While IdleOn is kinda neat, despite being a solo dev game the game has way more greedy and predatory microtransactions than the actual maplestory.
Also even though it's an idle game he keeps adding shit that forces you to not idle
>>

>>737045514
you can't, signups ended almost a week ago, acceptance letters were already sent. If you don't have it by now you're not in. Only thing actually being sent out is the keys themselves to people who already got accepted.
You can probably buy a key I guess.

all mages are busted due to the way accuracy is calculated as of current. They're really going all in on making it just like pre-bb lmao.
It's pretty boring though, once you hit 2nd job and fuck around in ant tunnel there's not a whole lot left to do. Most people I've seen on the higher end of levels are waiting for forgotten hollow as that's the only real new content we've got (besides crafting).
>>
>>
>>737047370
accuracy vs avoid is unchanged, they just give everyone less accuracy, yes. And mages also don't have to contend with it at all because magic avoid is a different stat. There's 0 reason for them to have brought that back but hey whatever. If they want magestory, they'll get magestory.

influencers/streamers/people who went to the in person events that were fucking awful last year all got guaranteed access early by 2 days (the 14th). Normal people will ahve gotten an acceptance email on the 14th, and will receive their keys in a couple hours if they were accepted. If you didn't get an email stating you were selected, you weren't.
Bunch of people are already level 30 and up. Maps are claimed, there are a handful of d/cs you can force, it's really not in a good spot lmao.

came out, they ruined it, waited like 5 years to launch it stateside despite a 60% eng translation being ingame from alpha, then launched a shitty boring themepark mmo that was nothing like maplestory besides "WOAH LOOK REMEMBER THIS THING?" with a bunch of "socialization" element slop like housing.
Also they marketed the whole game in the west with a shitty ltm battle royale that didn't even exist by the time the game actually came out cause it was so imbalanced and poorly received lmao

oh also huge promises about content and availability of content that never happened. There was supposed to be an enormous, quite open LUA dungeon editor so you could make custom dungeons people could play- that never came out. They ran one test in KR, and one test in NA and neither had the reception they were looking for, so they took the concepts and ideas most people had and then created maplestory worlds, which is just maplestory roblox, and the only games that ever have more than single digit players are the pre-bb clones (which all have funkiness of their own but are fine enough).
Just a shitshow all around. Maplestory is pretty much doomed to continue on the treadmill it's on until it finally loses it's ability to self-sustain. At which point they probably try something new for real.
>>737048198
Never, it was a bad game and the west got one of the worst versions of it, taking the awful parts from KR and the chinese server and mixing them up. It was pulling less players than maple 1 three months after launch, they didn't fix shit like asset rippers so people who were uploading clothes and items to the UGC shop were getting their shit ripped off (which spooked them away), and more. Just bad work all around and there's no market for it. It's dead in KR now which means 100% never coming back, I think there are some pservers in the works but none of the teams have gotten anywhere with them.
>>737048209
The rates and curve are the same as 1.0, mobs have adjusted exp amounts, so it's not just a flat mod to exp, they've actually gone in and changed numbers. It's still slow though, but more due to resource constraints than difficulty or grind length. You spend more time (as anything other than a mage) just sitting around jerking off waiting for recovery.

The shilling won't start for another few hours when it opens up and the people they're paying to play start streaming and stuff. This is organic. 1/2 threads every day is pretty standard, especially since /vg/ is a shitheap thread that ices out conversation.

yes, they're the only class that doesn't have to contend with retooled accuracy formulas, they just get to bypass it all. They get to cruise through 1st job and most of 2nd job completely uncontested while even bowmen are missing a lot.

A level 30 archer with full dex and a sniper pot was missing his job advancement evil eyes like 80% of the time. I'm mid 20s warrior and with precise strikes maxed I haven't missed much, but I am worried about job advancement.
>>
>>

>>737048671
high level explanation:
Stats give a certain amount of accuracy. Acuracy is rolled against a monster's "Avoidance" stat. Warriors get the least, thieves in between, bowmen the most, roughly speaking. Mages are supposed to use another set of stats called magic avoid, but that just doesn't exist so you pretty much have ultra high accuracy at all times.
So as a warrior expect to miss like 60-70% of every attack you send out, meaning you'll hit and hit and hit and hit and miss and miss and miss and then have to wait a minute or five for your hp to recover in a chair before you can continue fighting because stuff has more HP in general, in exchange for giving more exp and more mesos.

about 5k in total went out in this second wave, it was 100% random. I have 6 accounts, 4 made between 2006-2010, 1 made in 2016, one made this year, I got in on the one made this year and one made in 2009.

>>737048671
nta but currently there is an issue with accuracy with the big problem being the 2nd job advancement. Mages play differently as they don't seem to be affected by this problem at all currently.
They are aware of it: >>737024209
>>737048710
You just got lucky. I've read some people with fresh accounts getting one. It doesn't help having a sign up process that is often abused by people just signing up with twenty alt accounts and such a small pool in total who get selected.

proximity to unis, historically lower cost office space, better talent pools, easier access to housing for staff and better family resources. It was great like 20 years ago when it was being set up, nowadays it's less great as prices are rising a lot and it's more indistinguishable from any other cali shitheap.

nexon's proprietary blackcipher("nexon game security"). It has a linux approved version in use in most of their other games, but maple is win only. That said, you can just use hacks to bypass NGS like we've been doing for 20 years and it surprisingly runs just fine, just gonna take some time for the bypasses to get set up.

They are likely to send the codes in three hours as the closed test is open to the early access so sending them any earlier would allow people who got them from sign ups to start playing.

It was popular because of how unique it was, nothing since has managed to be similar even though it spawned a bunch of clones.
People have been playing private servers and the various classic recreations in Maplestory Worlds for a very long time now.
Personally I would say Maple just feels good to play and always has, combine that with the fantastic visuals and music and it absolutely deserved the popularity

LaTale was the only good clone because it wasn't even that much of a clone, it had its own feel and the combat is different enough. Compared to other clones like WonderKing which was literally just 1:1 Maple only uglier and with less memorable music.

FM is in the game, yes. Player shops(ones where you leave your character in a spot with the shop) can be opened anywhere and FM.
There will be remote FM shops, but those specifically state only available in FM atleast going from the datamine descriptions. Likely will be added on launch.

Oh and I heard if you craft something like a weapon it puts your character's name on it somewhere or something, which is cool.

>>737057745
I mean if you want to minmax accuracy you should be doing minimum str and maxing dex, same for literally any physical class. But on the whole and speaking in general terms, no, minimum secondary to get your equips on.

Old Maple was terrible solely because of the EXP rates and drop rates on everything. That's it. OdinMS directly showed that the problem wasn't the game, it was the rates. Once the rates were increased even to what OdinMS had which I think it was 3x EXP, 1.5x Meso, 2x drop suddenly everyone was able to afford their jobs, kit out their character in appropriate gear instead of farting around with whatever their PQs gave them, scroll stuff without losing all their money, and Sins were all able to afford Steelies and Ilbies.
Functionally the world worked far better to enhance a sense of exploration because of dead ends, dangerous enemies, and places you wouldn't want to train at at all but existed to flesh out the world. The path from Henesys to Sleepywood is the best example of this. Post-BB showed how lifeless the world becomes due to the consolidation, go look at pre-BB KFT and post-BB KFT, it's like night and day how bad post-BB KFT is. Hell, go look at Amoria which basically became HHG 2.0 due to how decent the training there was even if it was a bit annoying to get around there.
Each class had their own specific role which is lost in post-BB Maple. You didn't have everyone with a guaranteed Flash Jump and teleport, you didn't have everyone with a guaranteed 140% speed/123% jump unless a Sin was involved, you had maybe one single mobbing skill per job advancement, every job had a weakness and since they're up for rebalancing they could make Pages, F/P, and Crossbowmen not so garbage now, bossing required an entire group of people instead of being able to solo even the Black Mage now, you had to actually travel long distances to get to certain training grounds. BB did away with all of that to consolidate the experience and turn everyone in to the same amorphous blob outside of their animations. Yeah, Shade relies on passives, but I hit half the damn map.

>not knowing what a chargeback is
Every payment processor takes the side of the person who purchased goods especially against non-corporate randos.
It's as easy as saying the vendor didn't deliver the product and they'll return your money after 2 weeks.
There's a reason why every company bans peoples accounts who do this; it actively costs them money in fees.

Selling digital products on eBay is grounds for being banned off the platform precisely because they can't verify it as being delivered or legitimate as the seller could have sold a used code and the buyer wouldn't know.

How do they verify it's a legitimate key you troglodyte? Is Nexon personally verifying its legitimacy?
And yes, you absolutely can. Otherwise a lot of parents would have to suck up the fact their children spent several thousand dollars on shit like vbux without recourse you retarded goblin.

Yes? Zakum is the most basic example where DKs had to drag the adds away when they weren't hitting 2-3 arms at the same time, CBs were blowing it up, Priests were in charge of Magic Dooring everyone to the bosses and then perpetually healing them while killing Jr. Boogies (and later buffing them when Bishops came out), Hermits were constantly keeping everyone hasted and focusing on specific hands, and when the body happened everyone was continuing to do their specific roles. I won't say it's complicated, bosses didn't really become complicated until PB, but it's significantly more effort required from an entire group to kill a boss compared to now where only the first few weeks of a boss' release are like old Maple with a party and then you just solo it forever because you got good enough gear to allow it.

>Electronically delivered items that are not allowed, include:
>Software keys the seller is not authorized to sell.
You are not authorized to sell beta keys due to the ToS of obtaining those beta keys from the source.
You are not authorized to sell game keys unless you are literally the developer in question because you don't own the keys as pretty much every site that sells keys stipulates it's for personal use.
You are not authorized to sell stuff like gold or anything because it's against the ToS of the game you're playing and you don't "own" it.
Even in that page it specifies if you get a key on a piece of paper for example it has to be physically sent to the person with whatever it came on (I.e. if you got a code in a movie you have to physically send the entire movie to the person with the code, not the code).

people? Probably 25k to maybe 30k. There's an average of 20kccu on maplestory (A LOT of people still use nexon launcher over steam for some reason, but steam has been catching up with new events and new players)
Probably in the range of 500k accounts or more, it takes less than 2 minutes to make a new account with no real restrictions on them, I think they bar the most obvious email services like grr.la/sharklasers, but + discriminators on a gmail account work. I set up 50 accounts, got 2 keys.

Its just typical OSMS if that's what you're looking for, not much else to say. The 2x exp isn't that big of a change from the original I barely feel it, but the 3x quest exp I like since I like to quest and gives enough incentive to do them without them over leveling you, it feels like a good balance. Oh and HP washing is optional through some quests they made you start at lvl 100 and every 10 lvls after that that increase your hp but you can't do it unless you haven't started any hp washing in the first place so be wary of that.

Thanks bros
I remember playing this as a kid. My much older cousin was deep into maplestory and played as a mage. All he wanted was pan lid because it was best in slot or some shit but he didn't have enough money to buy one. And kid me, playing a warrior that is too underleveled for green mushrooms decided to start killing them in hopes of finding one in henesys. Missed most of my attacks. After a couple of minutes it actually dropped and i gifted it to my cousin. He got so fucking excited he started spamming "HE GAVE ME PAN LID" in everywhere lol. He got to like lvl 140 or some shit as a cleric and was still using it

the original concept, a faster-to-train, weaker class, capped at a lower level than traditional explorers is cool. It's an idea that lets newbies experience the game, and if you hit 120 you get to make an explorer with an extra skill, which is even better.
They just did nothing with it then threw the concept of ultimate adventurers away, then uncapped KoC and made them regular classes.

So youre saying the plan to increase player engagement is to take the current amount of content from 1-200, and then the secret sauce is to also add a second round of 1-120 which is approximately 1/400th of the current 1-200 grind, except even faster because of cygnus knight buffs?

it's bound to fail because no one knows what "classic maplestory (but better)" is supposed to mean, and it will run into the same design pitfalls as the original game
crafting? will be worthless again
quests? out leveled

balance? shit
economy? inflated

I played from Beta up until Pirates came out (Lost the Beta account due to "Being a dumb kid" reasons so I have no Mark of the Beta but I do have the Bellocan one), then I came back around when Orbis PQ came out for a while, and then quit until BB which I came back to for a few days before quitting until messing around with the game around when Shade and Kinesis came out for a ridiculous amount of hours I don't even know how it happened or have any recollection of it.
When people are talking about BB they're generalizing that transition period where a lot of the maps got consolidated but not fully yet like Mushmom appearing in that triple layered room from what I remember instead of at the end of multiple maps, the trip to Sleepywood being like two maps, the removal of HHG (That I can recall at least), the consolidation of Ellinia, Ant Tunnel not being the Ant Tunnel anymore, etc. It's roughly when they started majorly changing maps, systems, giving everyone the same mobility, etc.

It's all a campaign to get people to try nuple and start spending money on vac pets or sol Erda booster or momentum pass or MVp Red/Black. If you played modern in the last 3 years they've been doing the same thing with Challenge World. It's a seasonal 6 month world where you get boosted rewards so whales create new characters to spend money on. Inkwell deserves a stein next to his name.

No, you can just smell the corporate stink all over Classic. They're going to monetize single ap resets for 3k nx each and you'll need to buy 100 to have enough accuracy to clear second job. You will be then forced to buy another 100 ap resets to do any damage after you get second job. This is literally how Nexon thinks and shills will still defend it.

You have so few training spots. You have HHG, Slime Tree, Henesys East for pigs, the subway with bubblings and stirge. Ant Tunnel 1. After that it seems like people are struggling because the maps are just okay. Some people try fire boars, others jr. wraiths, others at evil eyes. I'm wondering if Sleepywood Hunting Ground 2 would be good at around 33 or mid 30's.

Nowadays some of that is lost because it's more solo-oriented but it still has solid music and animations, and there's tons to do, it's just that questing and exploration has taken a heavy backseat due to how quickly you outlevel it all.

Oh, so it's launch Maple levels of maps. The only thing that comes to mind is Ant Tunnel grinding if you want to do your early 30s. Bubblings were only something like 18-24ish, Fire Boars were like what 20ish, and Crocs and Jr. Neckis were possible from 14 to like 26ish if you were a mage or Sin. With such a limited amount of maps available the only thing I can really think of is Ant Tunnel 1 or 2 grinding since Golems are 35 minimum I think and their maps were terrible due to needing someone up top of the pit clearing them on top of only Sins, Dits, and mages being able to do anything.

You can check from the data mine. So far Mixed Golems aren't even in the game, only regular and dark according the the data mine. Golem Temple could be good, but I think Drake's Hunting Ground might be the best spot for people approaching or at level 50. Just need some holy waters to remove Jr. Boogies curses.

Mixed Golems were added ages later. Originally it was normal Golems in a pit when you went right of Henesys leading to Sleepywood that were spawn-limited based on if people were killing the snails up above the pit, I think there was a Hidden Street of normals or Darks, and then when you went to Sleepywood the further down you went the more Golems/Dark Golems there were.

I mean, you didn't have to do that. Sure it gives you a big leg up meso wise, but there were plenty of things you were able to do so you can buy pets, ap, sp resets, and snowflakes for a good while with just mesos. Economy went fucking upside down around Zakum release shooting snowflakes up to God knows how much money.
But yeah, I was able to get anything I needed with mesos for a good while. But I guess that's the advantage of autism grinding. People will need to autism grind in Classic if they want to be ahead of the curve. A lot of items will just have value since so few high levels can actually farm them and then they'll plummet in price later.
