More like ROCKS your path, am I right?

How were you supposed to git gud at Maplestory if money is what dictated you in "gitting gud" ?

*blocks your path*

if you didn't have money you had to have time

and dedication

>tfw this guy used be the big bad before horntail and took a whole party to win
>now you can solo with mild ease the lower tier bosses

>ruins your solo attempt

Not true at all. You used to have to literally pay money or you could never win at the game. gachapon dark scrolls were the best in the game, if you played evan or db you had to spend real money to unlock your skills, and scissors of karma were fucking garbage.

korea got that meso to nx transfer system in like fucking 2011 or some shit and gms just got it this year.

>post best waifu

Yeah no, screw this guy. Never got to beat him because I didn't have enough DPS.

AHHH I WONT EVER BE INNOCENT CHILD AGAIN

ENYOING MMO ON THAT LEVEL IS IMPOSSIBLE ANYMORE AAHHHHHH

oh i stopped playing before 2010 so i didnt know

then embiggen your dps

idiot

I'm a fucking kanna and I can kill him in 7min, it's not that hard, yes the chaos one idiot

I mean evan and db were way before 2010. as were gachapon and scissors. even cubes were before 2010.

Evan and DB were added with Big Bang which launched on March 24th 2010

>tfw can't into zakum cause of jump quests

cc plz

>trying to do jump quests on a burnt out CRT

>Servers always busy
>The most popular training spots always had someone there, on good days you could get pig beach to yourself
>Used to get annoyed certain areas were so popular

I have never felt this way again and I miss it. Only Maplestory and Runescape had me fighting for resources in overcrowded areas. Now its the opposite, I can't find a single soul cause every fucking MMO is a race to end game with no one in the middle.

>That taxi cab spot on the far left of Henesys where everyone sat around was replaced by a giant TV for ads
>Henesys Hunting Grounds 1 is just fucking GONE
So sad

who or what is the most powerful boss in Maple these days?

>tfw you can never go back

web.archive.org/web/20070702155814/http://maplestory.nexon.net/

people are still fighting over one single map

the cash shop

I echo the sentiments of other nostalgiatards who saw zakum go from menace to chump (along with every other "big monster" in maplestory) but zakum in particular has stood out as an anomaly to me for a long time for being the one boss who actually gives retarded amounts of experience
every other boss gives you an "okay" amount of exp but zakum gives you entire level ups even when you're so overlevelled that you can solo him
he's also one of the easiest bosses to kill and one of the fastest to go down
zakum is basically a pinata you can smack twice a day and his entire existence is like a remnant of when maplestory wasn't as fucked as a game

*bombs your path*

MS was a comfy f2p game way back in the day but after 04-05 the game became far too pay to twin. NX should have revolved around exclusively cosmetic shit.

Spend money on cubes user.

dude epic haha (:
nobody plays in non-reboot servers anymore except for whales who have sunk too much money into their accounts

>Big Bang was in 2010

>doesn't mention HP washing the ultimate p2w

>Everything went down hill with potentials.

please delete this thread it's making me want to play again

Zakum is different nowadays... also you can only kill him once a day now.

Don't it's no where near what it used to be. You'll only be disappointed.

>Getting stuck at the bottom as a noob because scrolls were not cheap and you ran out of potions and the block golems were too strong

They have Tower of Oz for those that want 50 floors of bullshit

I went down with my cousin down every single floor when we were all level 20 and died a shitload of times, but kept going until we reached the bottom. We had to sell our fucking equips to buy townscrolls to get back to ludi.

I miss those days.

>invest thousands of hours into the grind
>learn about HP washing
never have I been so demoralized by a game

you should have picked DrK

to be fair if Nexon actually designed the fucking game properly, HP washing wouldn't be needed.

H-Haha, yeah...

r8 my maple

I MISS IT SO MUCH AAAA

>fighting other faggots for resources

One aspect of old mmo's I certainly don't miss

Wtf is hp washing

they fixed it, now bosses deal damage based on % of your max hp

Took them how long. Hell they're getting ready to add an auction house.

It's some shit where you invest skill points into HP then buy resets to take you points out of HP but you keep some of the HP.
Anyone at a point where you would like to play but there's no point? No end game no reason to level more pay to win than ever?
Even Reboot is fucking dead.

you basically take points out of MP and put it into HP

I want to go back. Even for just a day.

New Korean mmos are still like this

They're one of the classes that benefits the most from HP washing though.

Wew man, probably still play every now and again

You guys made play again. Made a Xenon on bera

>Playing shitty Korean grindfests in 2018

>still play every now and again
I used to do this but literally why bother? There's 10-20 worlds and all of them are fucking dead. Even if they weren't dead the appeal of this game is to basically kids.
After playing WoW extensively it's hard to go back to p2w trash. First played in 2006/7 with friends.

pay to win of the highest order

It's been like that for about 6 years

Is Maplestory Reboot kind of similar to Ironman mode in Runescape? That sounds neat.

but you could participate on HT runs without selling a kidney

>After this nerf, Hard Lucid will be Mathematically Impossible
What the fuck is the point of a boss in an RPG being mathematically impossible?

I have no idea what Ironman mode is but you can ask me anything

I'd join you user, but current MapleStory is designed to be a single-player experience until you the game finishes pushing you towards endgame
Then you get to find a guild and have them hopefully let you leech off of boss fights for better gear so you can fight bosses on your own

I'm sitting here thinking about all the things that made maplestory great. I think my favorite feature was the old ship system and how it forced players to mingle and talk while we were on traveling on the airship. More games need real time transportation like that
tfw tried to fight the balrog at lv 20

>F2's your path

It's impossible on the f2p server currently, it's quite possible to do on the p2w server.

member when zakum helms were the end all be all cool item

Is cubing my frozen set worth it if I'm trying to solo progress or should I ditch the set effect for nova shoes, wings of fate, etc.

150k range lv 188 Aran reboot

don't cube beyond epic, I guess you should do commeri PQ until you get lucky, if you absolutely insist on not getting carried

>More games need real time transportation like that
I agree, but they'd better include bad events that can happen like Winged Balrogs or pic related

nova & wings of fate are a lot better than the set effect

Honestly when MapleStory was Wizet money didn't matter, what mattered was time, dedication and planning, a lot of planning. The top two players before Cash shop were derangedcow and stephen. derangedcow planned well, built well and therefore stayed #1. Stephen was on his tails and that was because he shared his account with his brother (against the rules but no one cares unless they can prove it).

I was pretty high up on the ladder at that time but unfortunately I was all about bandit so while I was in the top 20 for bandits on Scania at the time, it wasn't like near anything else and funding was a bit of a pain.

Once Nexon America took over from Wizet it all went to shit, their original 'promise' that cash shop wouldn't contain anything like 2x Exp or Drops obviously didn't happen and they went full on erection mode for cash shop, never looked back, never will.

It's not working as great in their other games now because you have to have more to the game for it to actually be played when there are so many options in Korea (and US), and these other games just don't.

(DFO did but fatigue system is killing that, and the sooner they get rid of it, the sooner we can have at least 1 good MMO)
(Although DFO it's really an MMO since it's entirely p2p room based for all 'content')

Honestly just play Reboot, I jumped into it again last year with some friends. Non-Reboot is cancer because if you don't buy mesos money is so disgfustingly inflated it's pointless. Also you might as well hack a blaze wizard on an alt (andVPN) and shift the money through several accounts to your main because it's literally that bad.

On Reboot honestly you *almost* might as well hack but it's not *as* needed.

I played legit for years (Quit back in 2007 IIRC), but when I came back I tried Reboot legit for 4 months it was okay until you realize how much you have to do daily and how much of a drain it is still. Also they refuse to sell perma-pets on Reboot, good times.

you can use reward points to renew your pet, if you get a Hilla pet you can play without spending a dime on cash shop

Oversaturation of the market. RO also had this. This was a thing in every MMO up until around 2006-2008 as long as you joined in the first 6mo-1yr because it was the 'fotm', but then it would stop as people moved on.

LaTale was super fucking cancer for this. WonderKing too.

Yeah if you don't mind getting someone from some random group to run you through before you can solo that shit on several characters, sure.

Also since it won't share other than between your original Adventurer(? Thief,Mage,Warrior,Archer) guys, you'd have to do it for the multiple character types you have, a pain in the ass.

Kinda want to go back and play as Hayato but I invested too much shit on my Hero 16X already.

Being at that level was so underwhelming because I didn't spend any cash
Fuck that shit

ok.

the Hilla pet can't be moved to cash shop at all :P

>but current MapleStory is designed to be a single-player experience

Sadly

>Quit back in 2007
I played from 06 til like 2014. Reboot is just a soulless game. They need to bring back party play.

That's my main gripe with Reboot, but I'd take that and helping friends out now and then over dealing with the market desu.

I've honestly never tried, guess you'd have to do it for each guy anyway if you went that method then :P Also get lucky and get one, although I don't think that's more than a month trying at most. I've had really good luck with that kind of stuff

>Hilla
what a shit tier waifu

I just quit. There's nothing fun out right now.

This is also what I hate with private servers, the best time to get in on private servers is when they begin. After like the first few month of a new pserver, all of the zones are empty except the towns and the super high level zones.

aight cool.
if cubing past epic is a no go, how about adding extra lines?

you might as well cube the nova equips to legendary as you can't transfer them anyway, they're pretty decent statwise when you starforce them so they won't feel like utter shit when you get your hands on tyrants

add lines asap, easier to get useful stat with 3 lines, just focus on getting %str on each equip, and keep cubing the worst one

it's pretty easy getting occult cubes with monster collection now, it's a decent source of cubes for unfunded players
