General Discussion XXVI - B>Sense of Humor, 4.2bil

It's common because it's available to the public. Those stuff gets abused to hell when they get released to the public.

Good luck with that Lorx

Meh, those who got banned probably deserved to get banned anyway. If they were smart and wanted to avoid getting banned at all costs, they should've avoided those hacks and exploits like the plague. Hell, I just hung around towns this past month getting exp only through those event quests, or training my lower levelled chars through golden temple

Since I do not know anything about hacking or glitching, why does it have to be a Wild Hunter who does the glitching of the maps there?

It involves using a common hacking program and a specific Wild Hunter skill. I can't really get more specific than that without naming names.

I still don't get why it should be THAT MAP. lol.

I'll stick to basic MPQ. Leveling is fast anyway .

Because that, without the hack, is the second fastest place to level in the game, and the fastest "regular" map. It gives a ton of exp per monster, but balances it out by having a relatively low spawn rate. By hacking the crap out of it, you increase the exp you can gain there making it the best map for anybody ever.

I can't even kill the alligators.

you're not even supposed to kill them by yourself at your level.

I have always been able to get into them from level 110

It just depends on how good you are at getting into parties I guess. Communication is key

Interesting read..

Having been around since 0.17 (and played a bit of Beta), it's certainly quite a nostalgic read, though that thread has been around for quite a while now.

Notice that updates came nearly every week at the start, as opposed to now xD

Angel Ray is available from Zakum. It's a pretty common drop.

You could probably find it in the FM for around 200mil too

Nexon's server problems are worse compared to a private server's tbqh.

No, no it's not. For an average private server, stuff like this is a daily/weekly occurance.

Unless you get Hero's Will, everything gets maxed I believe.

Not sure how to get legend coins for the new shop.

Collect 100 Legendary Maple Leaves from mobs and trade them in for one Legendary Maple Coin from Cassandra. You can also end up picking up those boxes and Maple Coin Trees to get the coins. I've spent mine so far on the cape and shoulder.

The Zakum JQ is the most rage inducing thing I have ever done. I never rage at video games but this is just redictulous. The timing always changes, the 3 backgrounds on the map don't sync together which really makes me dizzy, and the fact when there are no checkpoints for a a JQ this long is stupid.

Practise makes perfect in this case. I'm getting quite good at it

Why not... I'll take it

Even though I have no idea what that is XD

Your steam is Mordecai right?

Nope. I'm... Crusad3r :v

Mine too. Talking to Gaga doesn't help either

Evan becomes easier to use
Aran becomes a freaking machine

no idea about DPS

Edit: Phantom is actually on the bottom in terms of DPS, though if you do it right with skill stealing, you can move it up towards the top.

Evan becomes easier to use

Can you explain these points a bit?

Evan gets a few mage skills that have been denied to them in earlier revamps, like teleport mastery

Aran gets a damage buff and stuff.

I can assure you that 99% of the people who make a phantom won't be able to get 71000%/s

Then again, this is true for every class.

Yeah, their income generally comes from the East Asian countries.

tl;dr
They (NexonUS) actually made less money at the 4th quarter of '11 than they did in '10. Pretty surprising given the general NX crazed culture of GMS, and growth in GMS is the second slowest of all regions. Again, pretty surprising. The biggest growth was in China, probably with their Popkart/Kartrider franchise (which is MASSIVE over there) and Dungeon Fighter.

Trivia: Dungeon Fighter is the second most played game in China - the largest market for computer/video games in the world.

Nexon will be teaming up with Perfect World (another game company which produces good games but has terrible customer support, while the games have a lot of bugs and glitches) to bring Perfect World games to Korea. I daresay it will end in utter failure (Perfect world games are good, but they lack content, which Asian gamers seem to require a lot of).

I think this sums it up pretty well for the situation in the US

For the fourth quarter, revenue in North America was ¥1.40 billion, a decrease of 9% from the same quarter a year ago. On a constant currency basis, revenue declined 4%. The decline in revenue was mainly caused by disruptions in the service of our games from aggressive hacking attacks over the Christmas holiday, our busiest season of the year for North America. These disruptions resulted in some delayed content updates during this important season and a related decline in usage. As in Korea, no financial information was lost as a result of these attacks since we don’t collect credit card information. We responded rapidly to the hacking attempts that led to these disruptions, and also invested significant time and effort into further building out our infrastructure to protect our players and their information. As we have moved into the first quarter we are continuing our efforts to address certain stability issues that have arisen in the new infrastructure.

They are shitting themselves over the server issues, especially since it happened to their Korean servers too, and will fix them up pretty soon I guess.

I guess that's all that mattered.

If Kartrider was ever released by NexonUS again, I'd completely quit Maple and play that. Kartrider is just so much of a better game.

I hate it when people MW over my MW.

Just putting it out there.

Having "MW 20" as my macro for my MW doesn't help one iota

Well, 38 atk duped shoes are 15k NX, which is basically 750mil. That's very affordable.

Been working on a Super Beginner, it's at level 35 and so far it's been a unique type of fun.

as in... mind numbingly boring?

I doubt it's Visitor PQ.

Oh well. Diablo 3 is coming in a few months time, so I'll be saying bye bye to Maplestory then anyway xD

You think that's a lot dragonclawz? You should see my list...



blegh lol. I got more characters that are IGN holders. All of those lower level characters I used to actually play on a pretty frequent basis before the new exp curve and big bang etc. apart from the Nova character, which I made for that event thing back then.

Yeah seriously, I tried doing it on my friend's F/P mage cause she kept dying. I died 3 times at Griffey before I figured out a strategy for killing it, then I died again cause of lag/dispel/1|1. Died once at Manon for the same reason. It's ridiculously hard for a mage now

level 80 cygnus equips were a TON better than what I had to use (Union staff, crappy pot, unscrolled, level 23 overall, no glove, no cape, no shoes etc.)

S> Pan lid 100k

:3

Revamp is the Warrior/Archer/Mage revamp

Yeah, stronghold is getting populated again. I did 1/2 hr training there with a party and got like 20%, which is pretty amazing.

yeah, LHC will become a themed dungeon like Mushroom Kingdom

Stronghold requires level 165 to be able to be doored in, or level 170 to do the quest to go in

Exclusive for how long though? And it's probably to do with NLC, since GMS exclusive content are based around NLC

i remmeber play maplestory 5 years ago. my friend told me to follow him. he had to protect me because the monsters will 1ko me. so i follow him. then we got there. then we looked around then we were going to go back. But before we got back he log off and left me at that place. so i had to make a new maplestory character. XD

I remember doing that in Beta, except after I followed my friend to pig beach, my friend told me to stay on the top and leech, but I was stupid and jumped down and died.

I spent probably $10 to get my shoes to unique 9% str. Worth probs 1.5b

f33

I don't know what headset mine is called, but it's made by logitec, and I can wear it for up to an hour without feeling any pressure on my head.

Well it's looking good for the theory so far.

Latest dupe attempt failed

If only Valve knew how to count to 3. I'd get Portal 3 for sure xD or even Half Life 3 haha

Yeah... Demon Slayers really don't need to get buffed...

Oh well

I found a few posts from back in '06 when I joined. I used 2 type wif liek really bad spelling.

You all suck

I don't talk enough on Neo forums to even get warned.
