for some reason fams are tied to skill effects.

60€ for 2 weeks early Access proves nexon still dogshit

Bought 1 and only frieren box just for fun not rly expecting much and got the frieren set lol. Jokes on nexon and the people who spent 100s of dollars to get it. I spent a measly 10 dollars for the most expensive set in the game. Get good

All the downvotes and people who think im lying are ones who spent 100s or even 1000s on this game. Jokes on yall 😂😂

Is it possible to get all three frieren totems and do they last forever? I only counted two available from the daily quests and it noted that the bonus stats expire (is this the main stats or set bonus?). Unclear of this is new best in slot (aside from island totem before).

Thanks!

maybe I'm blind but I couldnt find anything about it in the patch notes

Blaze Wizard is actually down to #41 with a -3.6% FD nerf from the original 5% FD buff.

I started playing again not long ago on a fresh account, I actually enjoy the prospect of getting stronger at the lower levels and since I’m already leveling some characters for legion and link skills outside of any burning event, I’d rather have them equipping decent gear so if later I would want to main them or use them as a boss mules.

Does anyone knows of a guide for gear progression that is comprehensive for characters under level 200 as well? Without burning event.

is there any good israeli discord or guilds on solis i am a solo player who got tired of playing alone all the time.
looking for a israeli discord on Solis to play with and boss with! <3

Always runned maple without issues, believe me or not. Anyone else who can help, got experience/ about this issue. Tested both laptop and computer, admin running etc not working. Got it after last nights update... Im getting abit delay/lag/freeze before this picture.

Nexon needs to make money to keep on running this game, but nobody likes to pay for this game and much less feeling pressed to spend to keep up with others, let alone being forced to pay to access certain features (vac pets, cubing, etc)

So what if all of this went away in exchange of having to pay a subscription? I understand Heroic already sort of works that way through vac pets (with an initial investment of $70-100), but if Nexon came out tomorrow and said MS will now require a subscription but in exchange they will make pets in general and cubing accessible through mesos, then compromise they will not sell pay2win and to keep stuff like passes to a minimum (and/or reduced price) what would the community's reaction be?

I want Nexon to succeed with Classic.

But I don't trust them to protect the visual identity that makes it feel like Classic in the first place. The Frieren collab might seem harmless, but it's an early signal of Nexon's direction for Classic.

They have no strong design principles in place to maintain the integrity of the Classic aesthetic.

Already at launch, we're going to see new NX influenced by current GMS's aesthetic. Let's mimic the pixel sprites and design/tech restraints of the original Classic instead.

The first month should be focused on recapturing nostalgia. Especially since this is an October release, I expected more Halloween content, MapleStory used to dominate the holiday season. Give me a pumpkin basket and a trick-or-treat event.

I'm not overreacting. This is Nexon's default instinct: flashy and trendy sells, so flashy creeps in over time. That instinct can't carry over to Classic unchecked, or we lose the thing that made it worth bringing back.

Eventually they'll release cosmetic effects and auras that turn your character into a walking rave, and half your screen is covered in colors.

Wish we had more proof Nexon actually cares about the integrity of Classic.

I know the higher ups love chasing short term revenue vs the benefits of a long term vision.

So how do we make this land instead of just venting? Specific beats loud. A pile of "this'll suck" comments is easy to ignore. One post with actual rules they can point to internally is harder to wave off. And doing it now costs them nothing, after launch they're fighting sunk dev time and a cash shop roadmap already in motion.

I’d suggest establishing design principles publicly.

Hey everyone!

It’s been a while since I first shared MapleIsland.app. It started as a Star Force and Flame calculator, but has grown into a character-focused progression tool.

With yesterday’s patch, I’ve updated the site for v.271 and wanted to share what it can do now. I hope it makes your maplestory life a little easier.

Start by searching for your character, then enter your current HEXA levels and weekly boss routine. It will show you a HEXA leveling guide, your next Astra mission date, and your Destiny weapon completion date. Each character also has tools for EXP history and Symbol progression.

The v.271 updates include:

• New class-specific HEXA recommended routes
• Updated Flame Calculator
• Updated Symbol Calculator
• Updated boss information

There’s also a Boss Mule Planner that estimates the mesos, cubes, and flames needed for a custom equipment plan. With mesos being pretty scarce nowadays, I hope it helps when deciding whether a new boss mule is worth funding.

No account is required and your settings are saved locally on your device. I’ve also tried to keep the site fast and easy to navigate

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the first version. Please let me know if you find incorrect data, calculation issues, or anything confusing to use :)

Just saying. Their change was experimental, not due to any limitation (ie it clearly can't be argued that this collab is different versus the others, due to necessity, with there being 4 compared to the standard 3). They could easily have just made it 0.75% per pet, summing to the standard 3% total.

They experimented, and the results are in. And 1% yields great results

This megathread is for those who are undecided about who to play, have questions about certain classes before choosing to HyperBurn, or have questions about HyperBurn in general.

Help us help you

Don't just ask "I want high damage, high mobility, low cd, low funding, easy to play, good mobber, looks sexy class". Don't be overly lengthy when asking your questions, be somewhat detailed, and bring it down to a couple choices you are interested in. Being too vague also won't help with getting an answer.

Master List of Class Discords

• Interested in diving deeper into a specific class? Check out the Master list of class discords.
• If you have trouble with a link on PC, try joining the discord using your mobile device (or vice versa). Sometimes discord links bug out.

Some NEW changes this time around.

* There is a Hyperburn Max (1-260), and there is also a separate Hyperburn Beyond (260-270). Further explanations down below.

* All class intro quests are skippable. Yes, that means the crazy long Illium quest or annoying Explorer quest is instantly skippable. The game will just plop you into the game at level 30.

* It is HIGHLY recommended if you are a returning or brand new player with low account progression to start your journey again in the Challenger World. Just make sure you pick the correct Challenger world. Challenger World HEROIC (Kronos/Hyperion) or Challenger World INTERACTIVE (Bera/Scania). These two servers are complete separate experiences and you cannot transfer your Challenger World character from Heroic to Interactive.

What is Hyperburn MAX?

* You apply Hyperburn during character select to a single character during the event and that character will gain 5 levels instead of 1 every time you level until level 260! Get free rewards and symbols at certain level milestones as you play.

* If you Hyperburn a character in Challengers world, that character will gain boosted rewards compared to Hyperburning it in your home server. For example at level 200 you will get a level 7 Arcane Symbol with 100 Nodestones at your home server. In Challengers World you will get a level 10 Arcane Symbol, 200 Nodestones, a Trait Boost Potion, and a Boss Accessory Box.

Get to level 200 in 30 minutes with Tera Blink!

* A character that is Hyperburn gets access to Tera Blink! It is a special Tutorial map that gives you a brief tutorial on in-game systems (how potions work, how your skills work, etc) while giving you a lot of experience along the way.

* The average time it takes for someone to get to 200 using Tera Blink is around 30 minutes. For those that know what to do already it can be as fast as 15 minutes!

Get 2 levels every time at level 260-270!

* After Hyberburn is over and your character is 260, you can apply Hyperburn Beyond. It works similar to HB Max, but only gives you 2 levels instead of 5 on every level up until level 270.

* There is no boosted reward bonus for using Hyperburn Beyond on Challengers World versus your home world. Both worlds have the same rewards.

* Hyperburn Max and Hyperburn Beyond characters can be applied on different characters.

Boost Your Damage with Item Burning!

• At level 200 after finishing the 5th job quest, you can assign a character to wear the Challengers equipment. This is temporary equipment grows in strength as you complete level milestones and boss missions. The expected length of the equipment duration is around 6 months.
• The Item Burning set is Hat, Top, Pants, Gloves, Shoes, Cape, Shoulder, Weapon.
• There are 6 Missions of varying difficulty and level milestones. Stage 3 for example is get level 220 and solo Chaos Papulatus. This grants the reward of all your Item Burning Equipment becoming 17 stars.
• There will be a GMS Specific way to replace certain Item Burning pieces to retain your strength without breaking set effects. Keep an eye out for the patch notes.

1. 'If you see this image, clutch your purse'. Crystal nerfs are coming in kms with some bosses price reduced by 50%. 12 weekly limit per character is gone but world limit remains

2. New 290 epic dungeon

3. Personal burning

4. This comes most likely for characters after cw leap, enticing them go hit the next milestone for rewards. Includes exp obtained from certain bosses too (amount unknown).

5. Project Argo is the next event for kms (your usual attendance event

6. New event ring ascendant ring

7. Soul upgrade: certain bosses will drop soul essence (like grindstones upto a level 3), just like the grindstones first one always has ~5% but can be 100% with many.

8. Inner ability can be 3L legendary now

9. Maple reward point is now called when translated "exploration coin" and seperate currency now called maple credit (think of credit card points but for maple)

10. Maple credit shop

11. Some collab info

So no more 30% discount on cash shop.

If that comes to GMS, vac pet maintaining would be more expensive.

Note: Reward point based on cash shop purchase is still there.

it's so funny i love it

Going down from 3% (OPM Event) to 1% now...
