Truly we can't grind on a Korean level.

NOOOO, I NEED MY SHORTSTACKS

it's taking so long, it's going to be yet another game everyone lost interest in because it took too long to come out

it'll come out and Nexon will be confused at why its so dead after a week. These years long wait times need to stop already

I'm more worried about the game not being fun

How does it play?

I want to play god dammit

koreans hate it, it probably ISNT fun

the combat doesn't look that interesting but everything else looks pretty good from what I've seen

jesus maplestory.
character designs used to be much more pure than this, what happened?

OTHER SISTER VERSION WHEN

internet happened

>Still no sign of Moonlight Blade for the west
>Still no sign of Lost Ark at all

>Nexon
It'll be censored, poorly localised, and full of cash shop jewery. That'll be why it dies.

Didn't it flop because the whales invested too much shit in Maplestory 1 to move over?

Is her design pure?

...

god damnit

If it flops then just release all the NPC' images.

Pay to win up the ass. Anything that allows customization is cash item. See all the cool things on housing? 100% percent of it to T is bought with real money. All the cool things you see on videos like the minigames and events and shit become meaningless around level 30 and you grind the rest of the way. So, like Maplestory.

Wait for the eventual pirate server.

Maybe soon since they killed maplestory with their server transfer event. They really need to merge these dead servers together instead of 20 dead servers

Who cares? It's garbage.

I don't give a fuck about the features or the grind just tell me if this will take me back to the good old MS days. please tell me everything will be okay

i wanna fuck that mechinc girl

...

yes fucks yes

So is the Chinese version playable without a VPN?
And if it is, is it worth it

Nothing ever will

MMORPGs suck these days, they're all single player games and everyone else is in their own discord so no one will ever talk to you

The other mechanic girl is better

is it true that if you grab an Asian by the back of the neck they will be paralyzed like a cat?

Legacy servers when?

WELL WHY NOT FUCK BOTH

why not both
orange hair for rough fucking, black hair for sweet love making

Its super deformed/chibi you dumb son of a bitch.

Maplestory doesn't need them.

Modern Maplestory is great.

>Modern Maplestory is great.

>tiled floor
>not even a minecraft rip off

WHY

>lewding peach
She's for cuddling and lap pillows only

>Modern Maplestory is great.

>he'll miss out on the tomboy undercover ex-princess because he still nostalgias on the game

Can't wait for her to be released in the global server.

>Modern Maplestory is great

I actually don't mind modern Maple, despite it being very different from pre-Big Bang Maple
But I feel like the downside to creating a Legacy server for MapleStory are little to none
Not only would it be an insanely popular server, it'd be extremely profitable as well You'd have both new/modern players wanting to experience what it is they missed and old players getting to experience old MapleStory again
it'd also do a great job of combating a lot of Private Servers whose main attraction is pre-Big Bang Maple

I hope you cancer sticks die.

What does that have anything to do with this thread?

Yeah, except old Maplestory sucks entirely from a balance standpoint.

like 90% of the classes in the game are useless because they don't have enough HP for end game bosses, this results in every single class besides mages having to use a meta tactic called "HP washing" which requires you to spend REAL LIFE MONEY IN THE CASH SHOP to make the most optimal character. Cleric/Priest/Bishop is OP as fucking hell because they literally get a move that makes them unkillable and kills every undead enemy on the map AND a buff that literally just boosts the amount of EXP you get. They're a REQUIRED pick.

There's nothing to do in the game besides fucking grind the same map of enemies as everyone else. Most classes in the game have two stats that govern their shit, but more than half the classes in the game don't even use the second stat.

>Warrior uses STR and DEX
>Dex affects hit chance, STR affects damage. You only need a base level of accuracy to hit everything in the game, so the optimal equipment to wear is a bathrobe and a "Purple Wisconsin" hat to increase accuracy. NO WARRIOR EQUIPMENT FOR YOU.
>MAGE uses INT and LUK
>INT affects both hit chance AND damage, this makes LUK a literal USELESS stat. The most optimal equipment to wear is a bathrobe and a Gachapon Exclusive Staff that has no LUK requirement. NO MAGE EQUIPMENT FOR YOU.
>Bowman uses DEX and STR
>This one actually is okay, because bows require strength, it's actually okay to put into both stats. Though, I am not too experienced, so I am unsure.
>Thief uses LUK and DEX
>LUK affects damage, DEX affect hit chance. Similar to a warrior, you only need a base level of Dex to be able to hit anything, so your optimal equipment to wear is... you fucking guessed it, THE FUCKING BATHROBE AGAIN. NO COOL THIEF EQUIPMENT FOR YOU, RETARD.

So, the devs of the game basically designed TONS of class specific equipment, but forgot to balance the game, so everyone in the fucking game runs around with a bathrobe on like a retard

ah yes, the cuddling that turns to dry humping that turns to love making
right on, brother

2 days

nobody plays cleric, the nx buff makes them moot. Take a chill pill.

>like 90% of the classes in the game are useless because they don't have enough HP for end game bosses
there's this magical thing in MMOs called "party" which lets you team up with other players to cooperate and beat a common goal.

If everyone can solo everything then there's no reason for people to balance their parties so they can survive the boss. Fuck this goddamn single player MMO mentality goddamn

>he didn't roll a pally pre big bang

>dexless sins
>hp washing
>shit balance (paladin, buccaneer)
>mage spamable AoE
>gachapon
>no lvl +160 content
>no endgame

Yeah, really good times.

Have you ever played on a classic Maplestory private server? EVERYONE FUCKING PLAYS CLERIC. You get tons of fucking money for being a cleric and leeching people at like level 70. It's retarded. So OP.
Nigger, you haven't been to a high level in classic Maplestory. This has nothing to do with partying or doing bosses solo. You need that amount of HP to even fucking do the boss. You'll just get one shot if you don't HP wash and get a shit ton of HP for the boss. No amount of clerics spamming heal helps you, you literally just die.

I repeat, this has NOTHING TO DO WITH DOING THE BOSS SOLO. You have to beat the bosses with a team, but it just doesn't work. Why would you respond to my post if you don't know what you're fucking talking about. Jesus christ.

>private server
so a different game. What is your point?

>You'll just get one shot if you don't HP was
inb4 be pally take 1 dmg laugh no fucks given tank away and spam HH

also have OP weapon because 1h scrolls were worthless

Did you forget hb mules?

people who praise prebb never got far in prebb

Holy fucking shit, are you really going to try and pull this argument? This private server that I played on is literally the exact same game as "classic" Maplestory. There has been no additional content added, the only major differences is that one of the Bowman skills gives +15 accuracy instead of +10 (which actually makes it viable) and the EXP rate is x2.

This still means that Clerics are OP as fucking hell and get an ability that LITERALLY GIVES YOU MORE EXP. When AREN'T you going to want a Cleric around, retard?

"Oh man, let's go kill this boss! We don't need the class that literally gives us 1.2 times the amount of EXP! LOL" Dumbass.
Don't you mean HS mules? As in "Holy Symbol"? Players literally made secondary accounts, go a Cleric up to the level that gave them Holy Symbol (the buff that gives you 20% more EXP) and then logged into them to give their current account the buff.

IT WAS THAT FUCKING OP. PEOPLE FUCKING MADE SEPARATE ACCOUNTS JUST TO BUFF THEMSELVES, IT WAS THAT OP.

It's clearly not since nobody wants a cleric. I don't care if you're poorfag, don't be that guy who claims it to be the real thing. it's not.

>Flat chest and longer hair

what do you have against clerics? Did they KS you too much?

I'd also like to point out that the keyword you your stat arguments is 'optimal'; it's not required by any means
Nicely scrolled items like Bathrobes/Work Gloves were rare among most players, and if you had one, it's because you either got lucky scrolling, or you spent a lot of cash for it (either buying the robe itself, or buying the scrolls to scroll it)
As for stat's being useless, as you mentioned, some alt stats had their uses, some were worthless
My assumption for the inclusion was mainly gear-related

I won't deny that Classic MapleStory didn't have it's share of issues
However, the nice thing about Legacy servers is that allows devs to correct their past mistakes that they may have made when it comes to their game, while still delivering the classic experience people are going to want to be playing for; if they so choose to do so

Dude are you fucking kidding me? Even if you don't have any evidence to support your claim that nobody plays Cleric/Priest/Bishop, how can you not just look at their abilities, quickly spot that one that says, "GIVES 20% MORE EXP" and not instantly realize that it's a top fucking pick? No other character in the game has an ability as good as that one because the only thing to do in Maplestory is grind for EXP.
I have nothing against clerics. I really enjoy playing healing/support classes and I enjoy play Cleric/Priest/Bishop. I just think that PRAISING classic Maplestory blindly is retarded given the fact that some classes are just fucking busted overpowered (like Cleric/Priest/Bishop) and some classes are absolutely FUCKING USELESS.
Look, man. When a game has been going for so fucking long, people are going to find the optimal way to play the game and you're going to get your ass kicked if you don't play optimally.
>However, the nice thing about Legacy servers is that allows devs to correct their past mistakes that they may have made when it comes to their game
Okay, but how far is too far? When does it go from being the "classic" experience to being "Shitty" or whatever? I hate modern Maplestory, but wasn't Big Bang them "correcting" their past mistakes? It balanced the game and just gave every character 1 stat instead of two and one of them being useless. This is the problem with making classic and legacy servers, how far is too far? When does it go from changing the balance of the game to ruining what makes it "classic"?

10 att gloves didn't cost that much

shit like perfect stormcasters and facestompers tho wew att shields ultra wew

I personally feel it'll either never come out or it will come out way way way too late. Apparently it didn't get very good feedback in Korea from the die-hard Maple players because Maple2 is too casual player friendly. Which I can admit is true because I played the Korean Maple2 for a little while, got to lv30 before I lost my login info. That's honestly what I loved about it. You didn't need to spend money on the game to be strong and spending money would just yield you cosmetics. Also partying with people is highly incentivised because if you do a single point of damage on something and another party member kills it, you get full exp so that's very nice. Rather than begging people to cc you're begging people to party up which there's no downside to doing.

I'd bet if it didn't have a Maplestory skin and was called something else, it would blow up very successfully as a game. But Maple's core audience in Korea wasn't as fond of it I guess. I'd like to see it reach the states to at least give it a chance.

Modern Maplestory is the same game as pre-bb mechanically speaking. Nothing in the physics has changed and most of the formulas are the same. There's no point in a legacy-server.

>However, the nice thing about Legacy servers is that allows devs to correct their past mistakes that they may have made when it comes to their game
So any post-bb version of the game? That's literally what Nexon did with bb and every other patch that came after it.

Its not shortstacks its chibi retard

not that guy but even better, wish there were more porn like that

all you gotta do is land one 10% dex scroll and rest 100% dex and you'll have a 14 dex robe which is still better than w/e you would normally wear. it even got easier with the introduction of 60% overall scrolls that came with the omega sector patch

I'm addressing your hp thing, every boss party had a dk. And clercs weren't needed just for the hs they healed and debuffed when pots actually cost money and you weren't sitting on 10k stacks of power elixirs

Porn is illegal in south korea so they beat off to MMORPGs

I am not kidding.

I'm just going to leave this here.
youtube.com/watch?v=W1T6ODdsugA

It looks like shit though.

I agree that people do find optimal ways to play and while the difference between someone with a nicely scrolled bathrobe and someone wearing regular armor is apparent, it still was not required; it was just that, optimal
Situations like that exist in every MMO

In some aspects, you are correct
Big Bang did both good and bad for the game
In my opinion, Big Bang was the first still in turning MapleStory into casualized MMO, very different from what and how it was before
With it's casualization, it also ended up becoming how most MMOs are today; a very much so single player experience with heavy emphasis on rushing a player to end-game
There is little to no reason to explore areas, do quests (Regular and Party Quests) or play/speak with other players in general

If a legacy server were to exist, I would not be against some adjustments to QoL aspects of the game; the single stat system, or doing away with HP-Washing, for example
It'd be all about finding the sweet spot between 'not too much' and 'not too little'; delivering the Classic experience with some changes, but without the casualization brought on by the later updates

I completely forgot about Stormcasters; those were the worst because of how you had to actually buy the TCG cards to get the materials to make them
I remember buying a couple packs myself back then trying to gather up enough materials to make a pair

the itcg items are the most evil things nexon has done holy fuck the prices people sold them for vs just buying mesos

Going to need proof

you know how japan has blurry genitals on their cartoon porn? Koreans have light saber dicks.

Can't they just go to American porn sites? Also, who cares if it's censored, you can still see them fucking.

It's pretty fun. Couldn't really play too much because of latency. Hope this comes out in English soon.

its because it did so poorly overseas. its literally nothing like maplestory 1 minus the name slapped on it

where's apriel

>2018
>People still pretend they want to play maplestory
What? Do you fapped to the characters and now you feel a guilt washable only by spending money or something?

It's just one idiot making these threads because he's desperate for Sup Forums to play Maplestory 2 with him if it comes out.

What ever happened to the SlimeTales private server?

Why would someone want to play with Sup Forums that bad? I'd assume anyone that spends any amount of time on this board would hate most everyone here. I wish I could leave this place.

Bad, avoid at all costs. The staff are some of the biggest retards I've ever seen.

>game is 12 years old
>no 1080p support
Thanks korea

In hindsight I think maplestory's old exp rates were a good thing. It wasn't a race to the top like so many MMOs nowadays. The game encouraged you to explore, socialize, and do quests. What made MMOs good was the adventure and meeting new people, not GRINDAN. This is why every new MMO is shit, devs would rather go for the easy money appeasing autistic whales who want to solo everything instead of trying to foster a thriving community.

>time locked content
>race to the top
I'm pretty sure having no restrictions on progression enables racing more than current MMOs with daily quest bullshit which you need to do because if you fall behind then you're behind forever, as you can't make up for it like you can with a lengthy grind session on the weekend. Old Maplestory enabled socialization because you could spend hours repeating a party quest and talk with the people you were doing it with. Now you just log on to do solo daily chores.
