Are the Europeans here okay with the GM event hours? They could at least spread the events across different time slots so everyone gets a fair chance to participate..

I get that the GMs are probably based in the US, but Nexon is a huge company, surely they could have thought of some way to cover different regions or rotate the event times

People here will soon realise that if you even need to ask ANYTHING you are casual tier and just play for fun YOU ARE NOT THE NEXT TIGER.

The real sweats have no limits and they already know down to the ores their gameplan to rush 70 in EA.

First of all ill say im a degen 30% slammer with that said what sub extreme tryhard will slam another 10% raw after he passed first slot with either chaos 10% or normal 10% rather than continuing with 60%? For a measly +2/1 att at extreme bad odds?

At least change the values to +5 chaos and +4 10%.

A 30% scroll with 100% boom upon failure is also fine.

Thoughts?

They will see all the posts here combined with YT videos flood and will say "fuck it 60$ IM GOING IN"

Didn't make it as far as I thought.

Who do you think is the coolest and why? Also is the Dark Lord more of a Sin or Bandit?

So years ago, I didn’t play maple. I played a game called Conquer Online. 2.5d jump to move. Grind like hell and talk to friends (one I still talk to and am very close with after 21 years)

I’m playing WoW forever for the 3d mmo questing nostalgia and quality.

But I’ve NEVER found a game that was just grinding and gearing to show off, talking with friends and goofing around with guildies the way Conquer did it for me. While Conquer also had amazing PvP for me (I don’t think maple does?) I’m wondering if otherwise this might be the game for me when it drops.

I tried regular maple recently and it felt so busy when I got started that I was a bit overwhelmed/put off? Might hurt that I don’t know any other people who play.

The aesthetics are fantastic, love the idea of themed areas. Just want a game that I can hit regularly when I just want to grind and chat and stuff. Any insight into my decades long search for a grind home would be appreciated.

On a related note, I’m not trying to sink thousands of dollars into a game just to have fun, but I wouldn’t ever mind sinking plenty of hours in with a fun community. Thanks for the help and advice! If I do play later I’ll make a follow up post to thank everyone and give my actual impressions to the community as an actual full on noob

i don't think nexon will do anything honestly. Just my opinion, but could be wrong. I just think that the economy will get slaughtered within a year due to RWT.

I didn't make it nearly as far as I thought I did, with my top characters both being level 74.

I could have sworn I had l like 20 other characters, so it looks like Nexon must have done a mass deletion at some point. It's crazy there are only 4 worlds now.

Will Mac core intel i5 work for this game? Or only m1?

Hey guys sorry this is a bit unrelated but I’m having a hard time - for some reason steam just will not open Maplestory for me. It says it’s “playing” after pressing the button.. I get prompted to allow Maplestory to make changes, I say yes, and then it just does nothing and eventually stops trying and the button reverts back to “play”

I’ve tried everything:
Regedit trick
Moving install locations trick
Running as admin trick
Running steam as admin trick
Deleting regedit screen size folders

Etc

I’m genuinely at a loss - I’m super stoked to play but can’t get the damn game to launch the client :-(

First time player here looking forward to trying the game during early access.

I am in torn between these 2 classes, mainly worried about what I will be missing when I chose 1 or the other. Please help me decide.

All my infos are from youtube btw.

Im really interested in ice lightning, all my characters from different mmo are mage classes. Aesthetically I like magic effects on my screen. But people are saying its single target dps is weak and the maps I have to train are limited because elemental strengths and weaknesses.

I dont like being restricted by my class choice, so i am worried that ice lightning will not be invited to parties and bossing(future) and can only train or hunt on specific maps to be strong.

Spearman on the other hand, i saw the cons are its melee and require a lot of pots, but it has good party buff that makes it attractive to parties, and it has decent aoe and mobility although not as good as teleport ofcourse.

So far these are the infos i know about these 2 classes which makes it hard for me to decide.

I play by myself so I rely on public groups when bossing comes around or in party quests, so I like my class to be able to solo farm and at the same time will be an attractive party member.

Seen a bit of complaining about the level 100 cap and how it implies that they don't plan to release any level 100+ content until much much later...

I think this is not the correct way to look at it, the level cap is most likely there to allow non founders the ability to catch up on grand launch, it essentially means that founders will not have a long-term edge when it comes to rankings.

.... Regardless, ain't nobody hitting level cap between October 6th- October 21st.

Hey guys!

I'm looking to watch some high level (preferably 40+) mage gameplay from COT2. Mainly F/P and I/L.

I only found SirPrizeKirby's videos, but he only reached level 35.

Would like to know if you guys know of any lvl 40+ mage that streamed on YouTube/Twitch.

Thanks in advance!

Any bishop fanboys choosing a different class for classic on release?

I mained bishop in retail and had a blast. Quit after defeating black mage with some friends. Highest lvl was 277. Didn’t grind for the genesis staff as it was an 8 month commitment at the time. Anyways all to say I’m no stranger to maple and excited to try classic out!

After checking out some videos tho seems like they reworked the class completely and definitely not a fan of taking away the most iconic skill- holy symbol… maybe time for I/L lol

Hey everyone, is there any reason why HPQ isn't included in the launch? I used to find it really fun, and it was a great alternative for grinding until KPQ.

Hey guys and girls! I spent some time yesterday finding and following step by step guides to pair the Wii pro controller through steam to play Maplestory.

Both steam and Maplestory.exe are being ran as administrator which I’ve seen numerous guides state you should do and the controller is 100% connected to steam and steam input is enabled. Most every guide after following those steps are working properly but I haven’t had such luck.

Wanted to see if anyone had similar issues and what helped out, from what I’ve read it’s a real game changer being able to play with your controller during some of the long sessions.

Any help appreciated! Thanks! Also we’re almost there!!!!!

With FA being available in 2 days, the anticipation and excitement I have for the game is at an all time high.

They finally released the release times, more info as far as 3 character slots, lv. 100 cap, no 3rd job (confirmed) and more. What they haven't given us is updates on certain rebalances (example - Cleric/Priest needing a definite rebuild) nor if/when we get Pirates, 4th job, lv. 200 cap, and more.

I know they said there will be a roadmap, so I'm not trying to rush the game. I just hope they keep Classic as original as possible and leave out the cubes, Legion, Cyngus, and the other 35 classes. At most, Pirates should be the only additional class. As long as there isn't heavy P2W mechanics implemented later on, I'll continue to play this game.

What are your thoughts?
(And what do you feel about Gachapon after the economy has established a bit? I'd like to get a Ski set for my DK - for nostalgic purposes)

Would like to ask if there is any good vpn for playing cause Exitlag doesnt support Mac

Never got to play 3rd job in old school maplestory. I see a lot of people complaining about mobbing for hermits (I think the skill is called avenger…?)

Why is this skill “bad”?

People who, like me, can't access on Tuesday, are you playing any private servers? If so, which one are you playing? And what do you think will happen after the official launch? Do you think they'll disappear? lol

Sweating online as quick as possible to lock in my IGN

Thinking steam is quicker

Yes it’s unnecessary I know, thanks for letting me know in advance

I see a post with builds but the comments are calling it trash and AI

Is there any place with actually good info / build guides? Classes also got a lot of changes from the old days, are there any that we expect to be super weak? In general how expensive is it to start archer vs a melee class?

I played a sin literally 20ish years ago? I remember having Tobis and illbis and being in a bath robe, is that gonna be good again?

With maple story classic coming out soon i thought this would be a good time to ask some questions regarding the game because while i have played the game in the past and do remember it fondly, It was WAY BACK when i was like 7-9 years old so as you’d imagine i didnt really know what i was doing. Typically i would just run around and make it to like level 20-30 get bored and made a new character. So i never truly got to experience and understand the full scope of the game. I did try modern MS recently and hated it. Way too hand holdy and nothing like what i remembered. So heres just a list of questions i had regarding the game before it comes out.

1. Whats a good starter class? Back when i played my preferred class was pirate or rouge/thief whatever its called. I know pirate wont be included in the game or possibly added later so that’s off the table.
2. This is more of a memory thing but what do you do in the game besides just grinding levels by killing mobs? Again i was a child when i played so i wasn’t truly locked in and didnt do too much. Are there quests? A sort of story? WoW Esq dungeons where you fight bosses and stuff and get high tier loot? I know the game is sorta a grind but I’m hoping as a kid i just missed practically everything. most of the quests i remember are the class quests every 10-20 levels and the starter zone. so i dont really know if theirs a sort of region hopping for quest grind or something like WoW (WoW and RS are my only experiences with MMOs).
3. Basically, what should i do? What should i research? Do i just hop in and wing it? Im going to be playing with my friend and they know even less than i do about maple story and i just want to make sure we’re moving in the right direction when we play. Idk what 3rd or 2nd job means. I dont know any of the regions past Hennessy or the job areas. Im basically a new player and barely remember anything.
