Thoughts on Maplestory Classic so far?
There are already level 40+ in the beta.

Honestly kind of disappointed. I thought it was going to have a lot more modernized QoL and be pretty polished. Instead it's VERY buggy, crashing lots, balance seems very far off, and probably worst of all it's got horrendous gamebreaking balance issues (accuracy) that they just didn't see after supposedly a whole year in development.
I have very little hope.

I use the same name I use for every character or slight variations.

Chinks weren't common in online games, but of course I'm objectively more intelligent than you. You clearly are making shit up as you were not around back then. You don't seem to know much and claim to know a lot. No chinks weren't very common on these games in the early 2000s. When the great wall came down you filth spread around like maggots. And then here you claim to be smart.
>>
>>737141238
How? Because I find the game grindy 20 years ago and nothing has improved? All Asian MMOs were grindy af and the best way forward is to spend 2x exp on the cash shop. You guys are blinded by nostalgia, which is fine. You're literally asshurt because I give an opinion? Why are you here? Why aren't you playing the game and closing the tab instead? I played it back in 2005, you were probably still in your mother's womb as a rape baby.

If (You) think this is classic, you're gravely mistaken.
Crafting is not classic.
Nerfing Sins to a laughable state is not classic.
Removing jumpshot from Archers is not classic.
Giving infinite time on job advancement is not classic.
Ability to create a store fucking anywhere is not classic.
Making leveling 100x easier is not classic.
Being tansbender is not classic.
Etc, etc.

You're paying with your time no matter what. retail adjacent pservers exist but are much less prevalent since it's not nearly as tough to get going on retail anymore. You can play retail on repoop (kronos) and there's no paying for cubes but you instead have to grind for 30 hours per starforce. Pservers don't usually fix that either. They just make custom gear.

>>
>>737144894
No but fun fact, that pinching emoji everyone loves to joke about and say "haha korean guys get upset over emojis" was found out to have been implemented in maplestory's cutscenes and outsourced character art by an art group that contained crazy feminist cult members who were, surprise, using it to belittle and mock.
The world is a fucking clown fiesta.

audition was just nexon published in america, it's still going in korea, no need for a "classic".

They got michael jackson backstreet boys and ac/dc, and we got hillary duff.

>>737146343
They did, we didn't get those either cause the korean composers didn't want their shit in america cause they wanted more money (lol).
That's why the game had 0 song updates for like 2 years straight then it got sold to "redbana", the self-publishing arm, where it proceeded to get all the original songs and 0 licensed songs so no one played it anymore. Lasted till like 2015 or so before it ate it.

KPQ was always worse XP-wise than grinding. I know you're larping as someone who played maplestory back then but even with good luck allowing a group to continuously run the PQ as many times as they wanted, it was still slower than just grinding solo at the time.
Now that grinding is even better, there was even less of a reason to nerf it. Especially since any runs after the first run you do in Classic has a reduction of XP in addition to the nerfed XP.

Warrior bros, how are we building our toons? I keep flipping back and forth between high STR/low DEX and low STR/high DEX and it all feels like a wash. Also what about skill investment? Obviously we need to be maxing out Precise Strikes but not sure how to invest in the rest. Seems like we're missing out on HP we'd normally have since Max HP Increase was changed and the mobs we're stuck fighting aren't enough of a threat to warrant it. Slash Blast should be our bread n butter but it's too taxing on potion count it seems. Overall really struggling to not go negative on my pots:meso ratio.

If Pathfinder, Cannoneer and DB are in the files, it means the developers are experimenting with them as extra class branches.

yeah, there's parts of the game they clearly didn't test or care about the fact that hundreds of people would be fighting for same mobs
also i really think maplestory is actually just dogshit, i'm gonna play it because my friend wants to but i've never played a shittier mmo
only in maplestory do i have to pay out my ass for a piece of equipment just to finish a quest and the only other recourse is to grind enemies i can't even fucking kill because the devs think it's funny to ask for dumb ass monsters that don't exist near the quest giver
also every monster knocking you back, including dudes who do 1 damage, is the dumbest shit ever

>>737143978
Pserver's issue is more that they tend to focus on perfect scrolling or rebirthing which makes the grind something completely different but equally as bad. Can you host your own local server like you used to be able to years ago? I only have experience with the stuff when it was first introduced and every single NPC under the sun that wasn't selling something was completely broken so I don't know how well local hosted stuff became, only public pservers.

>>737150280
you're projecting. people still spammed KPQ because if it was marginally slower overall, it was still better to spam it if you could get in consistently because it was significantly less effort for barely worse gain. now there's no downtime at all between KPQs and you can just do them endlessly. kill yourself, i'm dead serious. what an embarrassing post you've made.

Computers weren't that expensive to upgrade to but the internet subscription prices were what seemed to make most people ignore it for a while and focus on TVs or sound systems at least when it came to my relatives and friends. The only people who really owned PCs were white collar workers who needed one at home for work.
My family lived off of Blue Light K-mart internet discs for a year or two and my dad only decided to actually buy internet in like 2003 or 2004. Most of my computer time was entirely on a Windows '98 or 2000 machine playing games locally while Runescape and Maplestory were only on library computers that wiped themselves after you shut them off which I'd constantly make excuses to my mom to drop me off under the pretense of "studying" which was a coin flip if I actually was.
When it came to my friends one of them had an XP one around 2002 without internet, a well off friend had a personal computer for each member of the household and internet around that same time period, and everyone else I knew only really got computers or internet in like 2002-2005.

Has content from other versions been ported or is it strictly GMS? I think I remember seeing Coke Town got ported a few years back but I don't know if that was to post-BB Pservers or the original ones. The same question would apply to Shanghai, Night Market, Monkey Temple, and so on which existed in SEA, JMS, KMS, and ThaiMS that we never got.

Why is it so hard to just fight one type of enemy? Why must I be forced to deal with literal trash mobs? Why is the actual monster I need not plentiful? Why the fuck are there dumb noob traps that are only there to fucking kill you as a beginner? Why do they force mages to rely on potions for any actual progress?

like half of the people posting about this game and making content for it are men in their 30s and 40s but instead of being trannies they're in a loving marriage and have kids. the OSRS audience convulses in pain at the sight of classic maplestory.

>>
>>737154056
Look maplestories technically like one of the more expensive games. So you’re not really playing like a cheap game, it’s probably a decent time, if you like the mmo shtick. These classic releases are often better than what the game devs turned the game into, they’re in like a pristine state before all the aids and predatory elements were added to retain subscribers. Shan’t be playing this one, although I’m lying if I said I wasn’t like slightly interested. It’s like the only mmo I never played to endgame. I’m just bored of MMOs in general, I like single player games more. Theyre higher skill cap without all the tards in the way.

With a total of 61 points in 1st job:
>Level 1 Power Strike
>Level 15 Precise Strikes
>Level 3 Improved HP Recovery
>Level 1 Slash Blast
>Level 15 Max HP Increase
>Level 20 Slash Blast
>Level 7 Iron Body
is the way to go I believe. I have some assumptions though:
>Max HP Increase is a % boost to the base HP and not a % increase to the amount of HP gained per level (like some people are saying)
>You cannot spend 2nd job points on 1st job skills
>The accuracy formula won't dramatically change from what it is now, requiring Precise Strikes ASAP
>Improved HP Recovery doesn't change on release

classic anything is fucking stupid. stop chasing nostalgia and just let your memories be memories instead of tainting them. it's never going to be the same because it's more than about just the game. it's about the culture around it and the circumstances

>>737155924
No it’s actually just about the game. Games are all designed to be “press button and shooty thing goes out, then get the thing”. So how games go about this process is often perfected in its original design philosophy, which was why the game came to exist from the start. A guy had a big brain idea. But, these design elements face blights over time, and the original idea becomes tainted and perverted until it becomes totally unrecognizable. Game patches are actually a result of poverty. Same with expansions, they’re just reusing the same everything, and trying to make more money. And, you can’t fucking do that to the game and have its integrity stay in tact. The original game gets “included” in this new higher level content, but in a cheap way. And it just comes across terrible. The old games still there but it’s not even worth looking at. And this new game is literally the same exact thing but with higher numbers and new colored armor. So yeah, basically the classic version of the game is almost always the best version. Its the most well designed from start to finish, it has the best game balance possible, there’s nothing there that wasn’t intentionally put there for a reason.

You're making it extremely obvious you're young and are regurgitating some /pol/ bullshit about a subject you have no experience with because you think it will help you fit in. Free to play games have always been extremely popular in third world shitholes. Maplestory, Ragnarok, Runescape, etc. Every f2p MMO has attracted a fuckton of non-whites because they're free and typically ran just fine on toasters.

It's hard to say without knowing the actual accuracy formula, but just the standard 3:2 for STR:DEX is good until you get ~35 - 40 DEX as a base. A lot of builds were done with the future in mind (aka equips and such, or 3rd job and above) and since Classic isn't very far, all you can really do is add DEX until you feel comfortable enough with your accuracy, or until you hit 40 since nothing should cost more than that DEX-wise.

nah, it's not. there are no forums or irc channels anymore. there are no scuffed movies being made. people aren't socializing and hanging out ingame anymore because they'd rather just sit in discord. the circumstances are different so the experience is different

I do appreciate him in a sense that he was the only one bringing any actual info from the classic playtest during maplecon and also interviewed Inkwell there. I think he's just a casual player who wants to stay on the "good side" of Nexon.
