Maplestory Classic is getting a patch later tonight.
So far it's very close to vanilla beta, but with some QoL features and changes. People complaining about the accuracy.

Never really played Maplestory, might give it a try whenever I have the chance.
All I've read is that Mages are the only class worth playing and everything else is bad, how does that even work?
Legitimately asking, since I usually go for something that uses a bow or crossbow.

>>737098821
Mages have always been the best farming class, but in OSMS they were dog shit at bosses. If you only want to giga grind then pick a mage. If you want to at least be somewhat competent at bosses that will get released later down the line then pick another class.
Also good luck being a bowman in Maple, it's all struggle.
>>
>>737098821
Issue is that 1st and 2nd job state/balance doesn't give the entire picture. Not only can things change from closed test, but when you put in 200-400hours into a character for the potential 3rd job release and even further down the line 4th job it changes.
Some classes could get extremely nice changes in their 3rd job that would change everything. But for now in the closed test, mages are doing the best. Other classes need higher level to get mastery to start catching up in consistent damage so mages might be something that fall down a bit the higher we go in levels.

The best classes are relative to available content. Mages always had the best time in the early early days because there was only 2nd job advancement (mages had the strongest 2nd job), not a lot of bosses to kill so you mostly just grinded on mobs (mages handle mobs best), and they're pretty cheap to grind on (especially important on day 1 since you're starting completely from nothing, as is everyone else so no handouts). This closed test is replicating that basically one to one despite some balance changes. Once bossing becomes relevant and 3rd job rolls around mages will be balanced out better.

It still is, if the armies of simps female streamers of current day are anything to go by.
It's a bit more difficult these days compared to back then though because most women realized they can weaponize their boobs and hips. Also trannies exist now.

Is it a bad idea to grind to level 30 mage with lvl 1 Energy Bolt to get the support skills, or they don't matter? Do we know how much SP reset scrolls will cost on the real server?
>>
>>
>>
>>737100061
I know NX is free right now, but I'm talking about once the game comes out of beta. I imagine it'd be miserable getting to level 30 hitting that shitty ball, but if the SP reset scroll is like $30 I ain't paying for that shit.
>>
>>737099917
eh, pretty much always been the case afaik. The very top of viewcounts of twitch tend to be males. I suspect there's a whole bunch of women right in the middle of twitch's demographics with anywhere between 100~1000 viewers though and they probably have a much easier time escaping the 0~10 viewer wasteland than guys.

>>

>>737100028
No actual cash shop prices are known yet. Since SP resets, reset all of your SP my guess would be like 10-15$? Could be cheaper or pricier.
The thing is since there is likely only 1st and 2nd job on launch, this is exactly what they want. It's an easy way to monetize the 3rd job and 4th job as you would want to reset points from attack skills to passive/buffs as you get new ones.
>>
>>
>>737100140
Max MP Increase, yes. The sooner you maxed it, the better off you would be. But unlike warriors, they also had an MP Recovery skill at 1st job which was frequently maxed out next for even further potion cost saving.

I honestly thought the physical classes would have a leg up against Magicians this time around because of the potion scarcity, since they can generally survive on basic physical attacks while Magicians cannot. But due to the fucked accuracy formula on top of magic still being cracked, it's just same as it ever was.

I have been following this quite closely ever since maplecon. Back then my guess was around the anniversary so late april or during may as I still think it's kind of an obvious move to do something for classic during that moment.
Now I'm not so sure as there has been things coming from closed test that makes me think they still need more time. However seeing that they are already tackling these problems and to go as far as fixing them during the closed test gives me a bit copium that they aren't completely backlogged with numerous changes/adjustments. That and they might not be too hard or time consuming to fix.
I still believe around early may we are getting something as it would be around couple weeks from closed test which gives some time to go through things and having the anniversary date be something where you would bring a date, be it open test or launch seems like a very good timing in general.
Have to see what they do, but I hope for a fast launch as I want to obviously play, but also think the current momemtum from closed test is already good to keep up.
>>737102257
If you truly care about flexing try to snipe good names, especially 4 letter ones during launch. Those will go for hundreds and thousands of dollars much later on.

If OSRS, a subscription based classic game that tried its damnedest to force LGBT+ values onto its playerbase, is still running today, Classic MS is definitely going to still be here 10 years from now.
>>
>>
>>737102358
Because OSRS is an actual good game and they pushed out a lot of good content consistently?
Do you really see Inkwell and his fuckup Nexon NA squad doing anything of the sort considering that according to Nemi's linkedin page they have been working on classic world for over 2 years now and it's a complete fucking mess? Wizet made Maplestory in less time than it took for them to take their homework and shit all over it.
Also considering the only thing you mention is "LGBT+ values" that pretty much showcases that you don't even care if a game is good or not in the first place.
>>
>>
>>
>>737102415
I'm pretty sure there will be enough time in advance. Shadow dropping can work very well and doing so during the anniversary by saying like classic will be out later this evening could potentially work extremely well, but I doubt this.
I'm planning on playing a ton aswell as I have a lot of time and happen to really enjoy this game for some odd reason. Hopefully launch goes well.
>>
>>737102489
>it's a complete fucking mess
you are such a disingenuous nigger LOL the game is not only functional but the biggest gripes are all things that can be tweaked easily, they just need the feedback for it. what a rich irony it is to complain about other people not caring about a game being good in the first place when you just did exactly that. you're both niggers and you should be shot apart by a firing squad.

the thing that autistic retards like you don't realize is the thing that takes the most work and time by far is multiplayer netcode. Everything related to gameplay is nothing compared to making sure multiplayer works smoothly.
Maplestory Classic can handle 200+ people on the same map without lag. In Wizet Maplestory this caused extreme lag, stuttering and crashing, and even more so on the java private servers. This would've taken a huge amount of time to optimize because it's using the same engine as GMS, but you still have to rewrite a lot of the multiplayer code and load balancing specifically for classic, especially since it's far more common for one map to have lots of players compared to gms.

So you literally pointed out it's just the maplestory engine but then think they somehow needed to rewrite everything instead of you know, the fact all that work was already there made by the koreans? are you genuinely retarded? The fundamental core of the game is the exact same how the fuck does any of that need to be "rewritten" for classic. Do you think modern maple is a fucking 3d cube game or something?
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>737103217
You are a complete idiot who doesn't know anything about netcode. EVERYTHING needs to be rewritten with a specific optimisation in mind, EVERY action in the game. You cannot just transfer the existing GMS netcode out because it's a completely different game with different stats, different gameplay dynamics.
Stop trying to talk about things you have no clue about you embarrassing dumbfuck.

Take your own advice then because again, is Maplestory now a 3d cube game suddenly?
Oh wait it's the exact fucking same game underneath but they just added more skills over the years. Did the makers of mapleland and artale and chronostory need to manually recreate everything from scratch too? No they fucking didn't because maplestory worlds already handles that for them BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME FUCKING GAME AND THE SAME NETCODE

It's actually mind-boggling how stupid you are anon. Even though you don't know anything about netcode or multiplayer, you still blab like you understand it.

So somehow you are such an amazing genius that you 100% confidently know that the game made in the engine, made for maplestory, somehow needs to be rewritten just so it can handle maplestory?

>>
>>737103352

How are you this dumb anon? maplestory worlds has all kinds of limitations including player limits per channel. the netcode is not even close to the same level of complexity as something like gms.

NTA . You're a braindead gorilla nigger. How the FUCK do end up thinking that something like netcode is trivial to solve when dozens of factors to consider.
You're medically a real retarded faggot. Just KYS.
>>
>>737103469
Notice how all you can retort with is comparing it to other versions of the game, but you can't actually delve into any detail on what netcode is. You know nothing about replication, load balancing, authoritative actions, RPCs, client-prediction, nothing. You're an utterly worthless piece of garbage idiot with nothing worthwhile to contribute, who thinks one game's netcode can seamlessly transfer to another. There's nothing to discuss with a complete and utter moron like you because you're just too stupid.

Okay so then what is so amazing and such a revolutionary jump going from modern maple to classic maple? Again, is maplestory a 3d cube game now? how come you can't answer that? Is it because you might be wrong? Almost like classic maple and modern maple are literally the same fucking game but with different content?
Again, answer the question, is maplestory a 3d cube game now?

I'm choosing not to answer the question because you've exposed yourself as being thick as a brick.

You could easily look some of this shit up yourself but you would rather behave like the idiot you are here on /v/.
I'll say it one more time: EVERY SINGLE ACTION IN THE GAME HAS TO BE REWRITTEN FOR MULTIPLAYER, ESPECIALLY IN AN MMO ENVIRONMENT
>>
>>737103757
when the underlying data is different, yes you have to change what gets packed into bitmasks, what gets allocated in relevancy culling, etc. just because the games are similar doesn't mean you can copy-paste everything over, that's what jeets like you do

Iron Arrow at 190% multiplier is kinda insane. It does some excellent damage on just two monsters. Hell, it looks like Iron Arrow is competitive with your single target skills on two monsters present if it's at least level 3 doing 241% damage split between two monsters compared to Arrow Blow or Double Shot being 240%.
On the flip side for Hunters you need level 21 Arrow Bomb to be comparable to the damage output AB/DS gives on two monsters present.
>>
>>737103825
Have you tried reading what I said in >>737103352
Did those people need to rewrite the entire netcode from scratch too? Because all of those worlds clients took way less time to develop than classic world did. Huh, almost like the netcode for classic maplestory already exists, because maplestory is maplestory and they didn't change the core of the game?
>>737103885
So your answer is that Maplestory is now a 3d cube game? Because surely if you actually played either game you'd realize they are literally the same core! But nah, Nexon totally had to rewrite everything for this revolutionary amazing jump in technology that is... removing skills and content from the same game...

I'll be honest, defense ignore probably won't matter outside of bosses since it's at a 1/5 shots to trigger. Maybe I'll be wrong, but if I am then it'll only matter on high defense mobs like level 80+ mobs. We have to see what the Classic team does for level 80+ training areas since training from levels 1~75 is radically different from levels 80+ due to monster HP, defense, and damage they deal. We don't know if they're going to keep high level content like that or alter it like they changed the HP/EXP ratios to Tauromacis and Taurospears. If level 80+ mobs will have high defense then the defense ignore will help while mobbing on them since their defense was considerable enough to see your damage reduced.
There's also other factors as well like damage reduction level difference formula as well.

no that can't be, surely it's not possible that such black magic was made by the developers, they must have recreated zakum JQ from scratch with every single update that maplestory has ever received! That perfectly explains everything!

I'm hopeful it'll be useful in much later areas and bosses, aye. It might just be a complete let down, but that's something I'm fine with. Mainly just looking to play something I haven't and hopefully they'll make it a bit interesting where it would actually matter as I'm more of thinking about the later levels when it comes to this passive.
I'd really love to see it be a noticeable change if it does trigger when piercing through beefy enemies.

I wonder how accurate the formulas are. Looks at it weapon attack from gear outside of your weapon/stars/arrows isn't calculated into the weapon attack variable and will only show up in the attack power variable. So does weapon attack on anything like gloves/boots/cape/earring/helm/top/bottom/overalls count as just attack power rather than weapon attack? Apparently attack power from something like Rage isn't very impactful towards your damage range. If this is the case then weapon attack gloves might be significantly worse than gloves that increase your chance to critical.
>>
>>737111892
Another thing that is vague, for weapon attack it says BASE damage of the weapon. So does that mean weapon attack gained from scrolling the weapon will only show up in Attack Power rather than being counted towards your full weapon attack? People are going to need to have scrolled weapons and possibly even gloves with their damage range to see how everything lines up. A lot of people have been going around with clean gear so I don't know if many people can offer such things.
>>
>>
>>
>>737102882
I dunno, I was optimistic but you say the biggest gripe is with things that can be easily tweaked and just needed feedback i.e. accuracy formula, especially on 2nd job advancement for jobs like archer, but isn't that specific gripe immediately obvious?
How don't they have a parallel instance of the game to test and immediately catch the avoidability or level (whatever the culprit seems to be) of the mob to cause so many misses to occur instead of opening a 5000 players closed beta to tell them that, seems kinda weird imo.

There's 0 content after 2nd job, really, after level 15, so it's just grinding to grind. The game was surprisingly empty last night. Expecting more people to log in for the first time this weekend, but honestly I think most people are done already since they hit level 15. Accuracy makes it nearly impossible to play anything besides mage unless you don't mind wasting a ton of time having to sit jerking off.

I don't know why there's all this revisionism with maplestory. Most people didn't grind, most people at most did one or two PQs ever because of the amount of tracking horseshit and smuggling. Most people sat in towns chatting, lmao.
You can even look at historical rankings, and those are VERY generous past pre-bb, and STILL well over 75% of players never even hit level 30.

That's irrelevant to what there is to do in the game. People choosing to sit in towns to talk doesn't mean the game wasn't designed for grinding to reach higher numbers. I can choose to only grow herbs in terraria, that doesn't mean that the game isn't about exploring and fighting bosses to acquire items or materials to get stronger and take on larger bosses.

Even then MS wasn't just designed to be grind for the sake of grinding since there was clear unique content you unlocked at later levels, even if it wasn't much.
Still it's worth pointing out that most of people's experience with post 3rd/4th job content wasn't until after BB happened precisely because they made it so much easier to level up.

I think that's just cause of how MMOs work. You will eventually reach a point where you're grinding for the sake of grinding. There's never going to be an actual end to content since developers will push out new areas, quests, bosses, whatever, to keep players motivated. At the same time the level cap was 200 while the stuff you could do aside from grinding dried up well before then. They were definitely putting in a buffer to add in new stuff, but that always pushes the point where you'll start grinding just to grind further back.

Anyway, classic is just magestory all over again. Which is kind of cool cause it means they're probably using balancing and info from a pre-bb source for valuation to start, and working on it from there.
Bad cause it means magestory again, and the change to hp and mp valuation means that DKs are worthless so now every boss fight will almost certainly be 6 mages.

One thing I learned recently is that these people do actually shower most of the time but they don't know how deodorant works.
>Aspie showers
>At worst they don't properly wash themselves and lightly stink
>If they use deodorant, it's the cheap type they grew up with
>They SLATHER it on while immediately fresh from the shower
>If they didn't wash properly, this also locks in the "light stink"
>Because they're still not fully dry from the shower, the deodorant mixes with the water and becomes thin
>All of it gets absorbed by the cotton of the shirt they're wearing
>The built-up light stink becomes terrible and they end up walking around with bad body odor anyway
Any anons here, in case you didn't know, the way to use deodorant is
>Wash your armpits with soap and water
>Dry yourself completely
>Swipe your armpits with deodorant just once or twice if non-gel and ONLY one "tick" if using a gel
>Wait a few minutes for it to dry
>Then get dressed
The reason why so many people grew up fucking their shirts up is because they overdid it with deodorant or they used a deodorant that didn't agree with their skin supercharging bacteria growth.

Why does maplestory attract so many nasty entitled people? I don't get it. Classic would have been unimaginable just a few years ago and as soon as its announced everyone is making borderline death threats to nexon about it the whole time
>>
>>
>>
>>737122470
It's not an issue here, but in general. There's a lot of people who misunderstand how Nexon works, with them seeing Maplestory itself as one giant entity with limited resources instead of multiple teams working entirely segregated from one another outside of a handful of people. Right now, Classic is "causing flak" because there's a growing sentiment that Inkwell is diverting resources from the GMS team to produce it, and since there's a lot of issues with modern Maplestory, it leaves people embittered.
Similarly, there are people in KMS who think that it's unfair that GMS gets so many "buffs and benefits" and either stoke the fire or try to join it outright, leading to things like the Classic codes being sold and guides on how to navigate the English version for Korean players. There are a lot of comments criticizing GMS for "not following KMS" since it's supposed to be "first", especially when GMS announced it'll be taking itself into new directions and when the Shine branch of classes released.
So to answer that question, it's because there are a bunch of retards, Koreans, and retarded Koreans all quick to voice their opinions on everything.

curious isn't it? GMS is literally the only region that doesn't get roadmaps for updates for example. Hell even Global Maple M gets fucking roadmaps.
The way Inkwell handles GMS does not inspire much confidence in Classic at all.
>>
>>
It's funny how fondly I look back on Maplestory when I know I got frustrated because my main was clearly the worst class, and I ragequit when the game told me to go to the second continent and I immediately got stuck after going the wrong way and falling down some lego block looking tower. The game's feel good vibes were immaculate.
>>
>>737123032
even SEA, which isn't run by nexon at all, and is run by one of the worst rated gaming companies on the planet, worse than EA when accounting for player pop percentages, has better communication. It's crazy. They also run events in person every year and have for like 15 years, and when GMS tries they rent a gigantic warehouse and have nothing to do, on par with that willy wonka experience ass shit.
>>
>>
>>
>>737122763
its not just GMS's skeleton crew diverting resources, its always been the sentiment among modern maplers that classic sucked and nexon is wasting time on something that will be defunct in 6 months because 'people will get bored, dont know how hard it was, rose tinted goggles, etc'. Classic maple continued to be highly requested by a section of the playerbase ever since the RED update (to the point they had to ban discussions of it on the official forums) and every time it got shut down by modern maplers.

So what's gonna be the actual longevity of Classic? knowing Nexon this is just to funnel people over to actual MS.

Classic as it was sucked. It could be made better, but if you change it to add in all the qol like downjump, better mobility on all classes, and bosses that aren't just walls with bullshit "haha you die" shit like marionette in ht, it's no longer classic, it's just modern maple. Classic is going to die off and the reason people keep saying it is because we literally have 20 years of data to back this up, the game doesn't have legs. The new content they're making is going to have to do extremely heavy lifting to keep people engaged, because most people will not be engaged with the intense grind. Even with heavy multipliers like the worlds games (Artale, nextale, chrono, mapleland) people quit before hitting 3rd, 4th, MAYBE.
Again, this is not a guess this is not "Well maybe" we literally have seen hundreds of pservers rise and fall and the data is almost universally concurring that people do not play past a certain point, and that point is the fucking slog of 50-70.
>>
>>
>>737123685
The issue is nuMaple is SO fucking different from classic they don't really appeal to the same audience. It's like the split between OSRS and nuRS, the games fundamentally do different things, even more than Classic vs Retail WoW.
>>
>>
>>
>>737123685
The best guess I've seen is that they're going to try and run it to fill in the slower months of regular updates for mainline, and alternate major events. winter modern, spring classic, summer modern, fall classic.
>>
>>
>>
>>737123520
I mean it already got exclusive content from the get-go, plus they have years of event assets to work with. I wouldn't worry about content more so than class balance and revenue strategy. Plus I don't know if you've missed the discussion, but casuals were a mainstay in old maple and will be classic (just as they are in modern maple and literally every other MMO)

just for reference as to why I personally am shitting on it, it's because GMS is doing terribly, they are supposed to be piloting and pioneering this whole thing.

It's a tough question. The game is a grind, literally, all it is is grind. I don't think they'll shut it down, honestly, unless it does VERY poorly. I think it will be kept alive and maybe they do seasonal ladders/races rather than continue to update it if it's not popular. The seasonal server thing has been doing gangbusters for modern maplestory.
Anyway, modern, yeah, there's 50-ish classes, most of them are quite similar. This is bad because besides a few standouts, they all FEEL very similar (standouts being ilium, mo xuan, kinesis [soon to be gutted], cadena, khali). But it's also good because them being so similar means balancing is usually very simple, and most classes are viable from start to endgame.
Everything is solo-oriented. All bosses are designed with solos in mind, even if not at launch, eventually, they WILL be soloed, the devs know this and make all content with that in mind, so it never feels awful to solo shit and you also don't HAVE to deal with big faggy groups of people.
Reboot (now called 'heroic') is a less p2w version of the game, where the main costs are vac pets (Which are a pet that suck up items in a very large range around you, named after the vac hack which you probably remember where hackers sucked up all items on the map), but the cubes are bought with mesos, and there's no scrolling to contend with. This server has no trading between players. This of course means you grind a lot more to make the mesos to buy the cubes, since you can't sell dupes off.
Interactive are the trade-enabled 'traditional' mmo experience, while heroic is more like ironman sorta shit. Heroic is WAY more populated on gms. like 80-20 at the very least. Possibly more disparate nowadays.
I enjoy modern maple for almost nothing besides bossing. Events are all identical to one another with a new skin, but the bosses are the most engaging in any MMO I've ever played. You need hands.
>>
>>737123685
the first two points are plausible, the last three are nowhere near realistic, Nexon has only ever pulled the plug on KMS reboot even when GMS reboot was a better candidate.
>So what's gonna be the actual longevity of Classic?

Classic will die unless they address the issues that plague private servers.

>>737124003
on GMS we don't have public facing numbers, but we do know there were botfarms being run to collect keys. I'd wager, like I said, probably somewhere in the realm of 750k signups. I personally signed up with all 10 of my accounts (back when kannas were still usable as frenzy analogs I had lots of alts to make cash) and got 1 key, I know there were lots of people who signed up with at least 10 accounts, many in the realm of 25-50.
Most of the signups were bots though, 0 question.

won't be fixed sadly, nexon refuses to police their games, they probably coordinate with the farms to get a cut like how it works on PoE. This will never be fixed until games start demanding verification of users on a level that anyone with any brain will not accept, so it's a stalemate.

How P2W is normal. The reviews make it seem like the stingiest gacha with no pity, I also heard the vac pets are like $100 initially and $15 a month after like 3(?) but considering the utility they provide if you play a lot I guess the cost is worth it

I never made it far enough to kill bosses when I played but I always wanted to kill zakum.

I assume you'll need a lot of keys? I play with an azeron cyborg and a g502 (swift point z3 when it releases) so I don't think this will be a problem
I haven't seen anything that point to "numaple isn't for me" and from the streams I've seen watching the screen be deleted with fuck huge numbers is always really satisfying. It's like PoE screen clearing but you don't have to worry about seasons.

You will enjoy it at first, but you'll get bored once you find out all classes are essentially the same FJ+FMA grindset, that you'll find the game is more of a daily chore (dailies/weeklies, fomo check in events, minmax sustain systems like familiars and legion artifact, etc) and actual progression is locked behind rng. The bosses are actually the only thing about modern maple thats worth playing, it may look visual clutter but its simple once you get familiar with it.

>That type of gamer is extinct now but they did exist at one point and that's how it was and revisionism isn't going to change that fact
Like I said, I played GMS MapleStory beta. There is no revisionism. Anyone with a brain figured out that you make a Mage to fund your other characters. How do I know that? Because I was a retarded kid in middle school who had never played an MMO before and even I figured it out. Later, once I had some capital, I started buying and reselling scrolls to make money because that ended up being way faster due to how stupid everyone was, but I was a kid and I figured it out. Anyone who didn't figure it out was just a retard.
Now, I didn't figure out or care about Dexless shit, and that didn't even really exist until towards the tail end of the beta when I was too high level to want to start over, but there is no revisionism occurring here. I'm am only describing what happened. And apparently it's something zoomers don't know about, because some retard is marveling that Mages do more damage than their unfunded characters at an earlier level.
>>
>>
>>737123032
Yeah I think this is the point people don't really get when modern players shit on classic players. The current GMS communication strategy is literally

>players get upset at the mishandling of the update

For fucks sake the only thing relevant to modern maple in the inkwell note from January was that the Shine classes would continue to be supported and they would "look into current gameplay systems."
>>
>>737124835
Seasonal is what maple is, unfortunately. Solstice updates are large updates that span 2-3 months worth of events and usually 3 major patches that drop content in between. The last 10~ years have traditionally been either a new major boss, or a new area, sometimes both, and every 2 or 3 patches is a new class, which has slowed down some lately.
>how p2w is normal
Also tough to explain, GMS is unique because every other version of the game did away with paid cubes (a potential upgrade system where you buy a cube, use it on gear, and get a set of 3 random lines rolled that can do things like give you x% additional stat or damage, or 15 jump, or MP or HP which are all worthless stats), and they're free everywhere. GMS only has 'free' cubes on heroic servers. They're still paid for real cash on interactive. Most events give them out in the double to sometimes triple digits though, so it very rarely becomes a genuine issue to cube things, until you get into minmaxing and trying to get 'perfect' rolls to be able to more quickly solo bosses.
>I always wanted to kill zakum
lucky you, there are 3 versions now. Two are the classic zakum you know, one is "Chaos" zakum reborn, an updated version that has new mechanics like tunneling under the map and shooting wide lasers that you have to be on platforms to avoid. It's one of the first weekly bosses you'll solo too, so you can reach it in very little time, under a week.
>you'll need a lot of keys
surprisingly, not really. Most classes have on main mobbing skill, and a rota of burst skills. And you can nowadays macro the burst skills to a single key press. If you WANT to press a lot of keys, Cadena is great. She uses a chain-whip as her weapon, and all of her skills are combo oriented and heavily positional, so you will basically lay out sets of attacks to weave around. There's also blaster, who has a steady 3 button combo you repeat to get optimal damage.
If you want to, try it. Nothing to be lost. Go on Kronos.

I didn't play in beta but I did play when GMS launched. It was universally recognized that thieves required mesos to play because the barrier to entry was the cost of stars (very expensive due to nosebergs). It was common sense.

The actual collab content was demon slayer (You played as tanjiro, a whole class), and one punch man (a whole world where you played as saitama and monster spawn rates were boosted like 40-50x so you killed a thousand of everything like a mobile game with every button press, it was fun).
The frieren collab is like 80% cosmetic, there's a few quests to do to get free things, a mount, a chair, and an android. The clothes are all gacha though, yeah.
There's no minimum spend, no lucky draws or anything, just low rates. But in every region besides GMS you just go on the auction house and buy it from someone else who got it. Even the most expensive shit never costs more than like two characters worth of weekly bossing so it's easy to get. GMS because it's all repoop can't trade and that's how they make their money, so people will spend $5000 to get it and suffer through dupes.

>seasonal
Yes and no, while it has long term progression without resets, major events often boost progression by a ton. Trying to get into maple without a hyper burn active and without one is a massive difference for example.
There is also Challenger World which is straight up seasonal but that's for gearing up new characters and it's completely optional.
>watching the screen be deleted with fuck huge numbers is always really satisfying
Honestly I would just say give it a try and see if you like it. There's a lot of number go up systems and it can be really satisfying to overcome late game bosses.

Yeah, I really don't understand why these zoomers who didn't play MapleStory back then are trying to rewrite history like this. If you just "thugged it out" then you probably didn't play the game for very long because you went broke.

none of those are necessary though.
All it is is shortcuts besides superpower buffs (Which you can just buy on the AH anyway).
And the 10% off star force, that one's OP, can't lie.
the entire right side is just shortcuts. Shit you can do in an hour or can pay $500/mo to skip lmao

when's the last time you played, 2014? literally every single cutscene can be skipped just by hitting esc since 2018, and they let you outright skip tutorials for new characters at the start since last year.

no it's true, you have to charge, and then actually spend through $3000 in a rolling 3 month period.

why the fuck is it relevant? No one but whales has them, because it's $3000 every 3 months, it's an unreasonable amount that no normal person is spending.
You CAN play f2p, what in that list is required to play? Please, tell me and everyone else.

Does this apply to those f2p servers? It seems like it's just EXP boosts right and some mvp lounge? Unless you want to get like 100+ levels in a day I don't see why would need any of this more than what, once, if even at all?

Yes, it applies to all servers. A supermajority of whales are on those 'f2p' servers, btw.
The main things of value in the list are the star force reduction (starforce is the endgame upgrade track for gear, you have 30 'stars' you can upgrade and the success gets lower and the cost gets higher, you will end up spending billions of mesos per attempt. so 10% can be the difference between 5 hours of grinding and 4 per attempt.), and the permanently available hyper teleport rock (instantaneous teleports to any map.) That one's less valuable because you can just teleport using the ingame teleport system instead of the world map to get to all but a very tiny number of worthwhile maps, and then walk the extra 20 seconds. Lots of convenience, but that's really it.
The "lounge" is crazy op though, you get ENORMOUS exp drops every few seconds in there. Still not necessary though, again, just a nice to have and won't help you if you suck ass at fighting the bosses (Which you will if you just throw money at levels, and people WILL judge you for it and blacklist your ass from endgame parties if you fuck up runs)

It does, but yes the rewards are mainly just QoL benefits and the stuff like the exp coupons aren't that big of a deal at all. For example most events absolutely drown you in 3x exp coupons and most people do not go through all of them.
I would say the biggest benefits from MVP are being able to insta complete dailies/weeklies (but only on one character so it doesn't save nearly as much time as you would think) and being able to use 3 cubes at a time instead of only 1 which saves a good chunk of time when going for multiple prime lines.
>>
>>737126473
The only thing that is substantial is the 10% off on star forcing.
>exp boosts
>monster park and epic dungeon passes
Time savers
>constant spell trace fever
Useless on reboot, on reg servers it means you don't have to wait until weekends to scroll items
>sol erda
Useless on reboot since fragments are the limiting factor, 10 sol erda a month on reg is pathetic compared to the amount you get from grinding
>3 resets for potential and bonus stats
Purely a time saver, you still need 3 cubes to use this option this does not give you free rolls
>death penalty exemptions
This only applies to dying outside of boss arenas, and if you somehow die there you are not paying attention
>permanent hyper teleport rock
The game nowadays lets you teleport to towns at anytime and maps to grind at with a cooldown. In the actual level range where the game takes place you will most likely find your preferred grinding spot and that's that for the next several weeks, you are not going to be teleporting enough to warrant needing this.
>10% off star force
This is good, on reboot not necessarily as the limiting factor for star force will be having enough copies of equipment to brute force the item, but on reg servers saving 10% means more mesos to buy items from other players
As the other anon put it, to do the bosses you will need to actually know how to fight them otherwise you won't get anywhere. You can reach the point where you can attempt the bosses faster, but that doesn't mean you'll have the skill to clear them.
