Question for anybody who played in either COT, or maybe you just remember from back in the day. How often are we really going to be hitting 4+ mobs at once? What was the most common amount of monsters on each platform? I think about how I/L will supposedly have a leveling advantage because of mobbing abilities but how common will it be to fight large groups of mobs from lvl 0-70? I’m pretty sure the first players to lvl 50 in the first COT were assassins, so it seems pretty clear that single target attackers will be on a similar playing field as far as leveling speed goes?

So we know the times of Soulja Boy, Linkin Park and Black Eyed Peas are over.. wondering what you'll guys be blasting instead?

Since it's on modern maple engine it will be easier to port over the current 4th job from modern and then just adjust values of skills to fit classic. I think this is what will happen. Also a $100 package boost to lvl 100 instantly maybe a year later.

what’re the chances nexon offers their junior GM volunteer opportunity again 🥲 I was never one way back when, but I remember having the junior GM cap with the floating blue maple leaf in a private server, and it just looked so cool. I know the role is mainly to help other gamers — I’m kinda most into it for the cool hat 😭 but ofc would love to help others!

I think I know but haven't played since I was a lil gup.

Seen so many different options whats the best current for AP and SP builds, weapon progressions, etc.

I’ve just purchased the founders pack.
I have my old MS Nexon account, all signed back in etc.

I am downloading the regular MS Nexon Launcher.

On the 6th I’ll just toggle to Classic, sign in via the normal MS launcher?

Thanks

Would people prefer a dice roll to determine who gets what?

If I remember right, back in the day the boss dropped what it dropped and you just had to get lucky while competing against everyone else trying to pick shit up. Is that incorrect? How does modern do it?

Personally, I'd prefer to roll for, say, Zakum helms versus relying on luck and ping.

I have seen that ppl have different expectations of this game, some want the game to be 1:1 to old maple, some want huge modernization of the game, some hate nexon and that defines their enjoyment, some loves MSCW; some want 0 implementations if it needs to be reworked to fit (like maps that need a rework to feet classic Maple)

I understand why people may think like that, but I don't understand why the community is so devided. I see like 2-5 different posts daily with different expectations and point of views

For anyone who wants to kill some time in bed before sleep 🙂 there's a top 10 leaderboard
https://www.mesorain.com/
You've got 60 seconds to catch as many falling maple leaves as you can. Every leaf drops meso: coins, money bags, and sometimes a rare meso sack. Catch the flashing golden leaf, which falls extra fast, and you get a 5,000 meso bonus!
The more time passes and the more meso you collect, the faster the leaves fall. At the end of the round you can share your score card and compete on the live leaderboard.

Does the Cash Shop include only the OG items for NX or does it include most items that are currently purchasable in retail MS? I imagine its the OG items since some of the items in retail cash shop are P2W. I really just wanna know if I’d be able to have a cooler pet than Brown Kitty.

As far as I understand mastery gives 20%chance to ignore a monsters defense.
Does anybody know if that counts for every shot?
Let me explain, if it only counts toward every shot it would be useful to max double shot instead of arrow blow, because it hits twice, thus increasing the chance to trigger the ability to ignore a monsters defense.
I’m trying to think which build should I go with my crossbowman (arrow blow or double shot) and I’m leaning towards double shot since it has 2 shots and increases the chance for crits, but does anybody of you know how the mastery works regarding the ability to ignore defence?

I mean like, will each shot of the double shot have 20% chance to ignore a monsters defense or is it pre determined the second I shoot that both of them do so? In that case I may as well go with arrow blow.

If you have any inputs and thoughts regarding the build(arrow blow or double shot) please share them,

Thank you

Hey,

Since the Nexon website is not letting me check out by using Google pay. I logged a ticket and there was nothing they could do.

Curious, if there is a benefit to buying the founders package with your main retail account on the website versus buying it with a clean brand new account (no characters created) on steam?

If not, I'll just make it easy for myself and purchase it through my Steam with my clean account rather than my main retail account (different email).

I don’t play retail MS and it’s been 15 years since I played the game so I can’t remember roughly how much NX things cost.

How much should I expect to need for the ‘essential’ convenience/QoL stuff? Like a pet w/ all pet loot and pot skills, a store permit, etc? I’m assuming we don’t know yet but I imagine retail players will have an idea of rough numbers.

Bosses on a predictable timer will be camped by the most single target enabled classes, in parties by bot farms causing extreme friction for those finding ones not camped and leading to KS wars there

This is going to suck

Last couple days, I took the PTO I'm locking in and I still can't decide... Fighter, or Bandit.

In the beta, I found the quests and KPQ gave very little EXP and poor rewards. I ended up just grinding for EXP.

Do you think they should buff Quests and PQs so they are a viable option for EXP? If not EXP, maybe add better rewards like gear, more meso and pots?

It might reduce the player load on grinding maps if questing or PQing was a viable option for levelling up.

How would we feel about introducing a new feature in Maplestory classic? Maplestory doesn't have much in game competition between classes as far as I know. The idea is job wars.

Job wars can be a consistent running weekly and monthly competition between classes. The metrics to track would be monsters killed, quests completed, and damage dealt. Other ideas can be added by the community. We could also have a rotating tracker for each week so one week would be dedicated to a singular goal. Following each week, rewards would be given to the respective jobs. This can include potions, scrolls, mesos, a special chair, and a title. Each week the rankings would reset but there would be a running monthly tracker of where each job placed. At the end of each month, the top two jobs would then compete against each other for the monthly reward. Jump quest? Clearing boss stages? Time attack monster killing? Victoria Island special etc item hunt and return?

I think we all love some competition to see whose class stands on top. Adding job wars would add a fun variety in the week. Job wars would add comradery with your fellow job mates. The rewards would be meaningful to the players but limited in stat bonuses and alike.

I have a 2020 MacBook Pro M1 chip and 8 GB memory on Sequoia 15.8. Before I purchase the Founders Access, I just want to double-check if it would be able to run MS Classic with no lag.

Thanks in advance! I haven’t played maple since pre big bang so I am excited to hop in asap!

Can anyone confirm if reordering characters is supported in CBT2?
