Which class will you be playing in Classic?
Which class will you be playing in Classic?
Your Mom Idiot
If there are no balance changes? Bishop.
If we're not suffering through leeching at skeles? drk baby
Probably cleric. Get leeched all the way then chill in hene
Just like the old days
There won't be 4th job on release. There might not even be 3rd job.
That doesn't matter. If it doesn't release with 4th job, it will patch up to it within a few months.
Maplestory 2 was better. Pet my pumpky.
It was so much better that it doesn't exist anymore
At which point the game will be ruined.
Spearman, and if I can scrounge up enough mesos to afford mana potions I'll give Cleric or I/L wizard a try.
If it's vanilla, 1x, no NLC pots, no adjustments to drops? Cleric is the only viable option. I'm not going to subject myself to selling cash shop items to fund potion and gear costs. F2P all the way because Nexon doesn't deserve a single cent. Let the other whales pay up, I'd only play to 30-45 anyways before quitting since that's the best part of the game.
It's like a year away, man.
Take a break.
Fuck Nexon.
Is there somethign going on with Maplestory?
You can just go to royals or something idk bro, enjoy aqua road by yourself
How do you afford potions as a mage? The mana burn is insane.
How does it feel to be a complete and utter moron?
If I'm implying the game is ruined by 4th job, why would I "go to Royals", a private server with 4th job?
Cannot believe how stupid you are lol.
Be a female mage and hope to get a sugar daddy spearman/dragon knight
Yeah, your bitch ass would know which patch they're on pserver nigga LOL. Go spaz out in the general some more, aqua road patch was SHIT. You couldn't even go APQ with some egirl, fucking FAG.
Play Cleric so you can just sit at zombie mushrooms and later chronos, while holding down the heal key. Don't use magic guard unless absolutely necessary. Get a few points into MP eater early on and that basically cuts your MP costs in half.
Zombie Lupins are also decent since you can sell the dolls to questers, and pray for a Red Whip drop.
Alternatively join parties because fighters will literally pay you to heal+bless them.
You don't need to keep doubling down on your stupidity. We already know you're an idiot.
-Remove the skill Power Stance from 4th job warriors. Instead, make Knockback Resistance a stat, and something Warrior classes excel at. Warriors with a Shield have even greater knockback resistance at the cost of hit range and a bit of damage output.
-Conversely, revise knockback chance and distance when attacking enemies. Instead of being dependent on just damage, make it so certain skills and weapons are more likely to knock back the enemy than others. Again, this should favor warriors above other classes, and maces and axes should be the best weapons at inflicting knockback.
-Give Shadowers their post-big bang skillset or at least something similar. They should have both Flash Jump and Shadow Partner.
-Make Zakum Helmet a level 130+ equip. Also instead of being a direct drop, the boss should only drop one or more materials required for making the helmet. The zhelm was way too easy to get in vanilla and it rendered all level 50-120 hats in the game completely redundant. Having a zhelm should be the mark of someone who has spent A LOT of time playing the game (aka- a total no-lifer).
-Enforce secondary stat requirements for all weapons and armor for their corresponding class. No exceptions. It is ridiculous how much the meta revolved around Maple Weapons because of the absence of secondary stat requirement.
-Have AP contribute more than just base damage for each class. For example, Dex could passively increase attack speed slightly for all classes. Luk could passively increase crit rate for all classes slightly. Str could increase knockback resistance and rate.
-Buff spawns and exp rate on more interesting maps. This idea was implemented in the private server Rien where the developers buffed the spawn of Ludibrium, which is one of the coolest areas in the game with great map design. In old Maplestory it was always the region content that got the best maps and it got boring fast.
I see. I will keep this in mind.
classic maple
what did I miss?
The announcement.
can you spoonfeed me a link anon
classic is a recreation of old maple on the new game engine
god I hope its different enough people have to find out stuff all over again
-Give Shadowers their post-big bang skillset or at least something similar. They should have both Flash Jump and Shadow Partner.
Why only buff Shadowers specifically? They were already fucking cracked.
they'll never fix shit that favors minmaxxing cash shop trannies and their eccentric xless builds. They were never bugs or design flaws. They knew from the start that they could fuck with the stat formulas to favor cash shop troons and I've seen this pattern in every free2play pay2win game. I've played so many free mmos and they all had programming "quirks" and "bugs" that made cash shop builds OP (like at least 2x as powerful)
Open up wide, here comes the airplane.
youtu.be
Evan or Illium. Haven't made up my mind yet.
retard
Those don't sound very classic desu senpai.
so how will jewxon monetize this? HP washing? pets? gacha costumes? make cube cancer in classic?
It'd be really neat if post-BB classes were reimagined to fit old school MS.
global classic
a bit hype but looking at all the official RO 'classic' server I feel like they'll pull the same shit and inject the fake and gay features into old maple for $$$
I'm looking at the class list right now. Cannon Master seems kind of fun is it classical too?
bishop but im pretty sure most people are too once the youtubers start talking about it
wonder if pirate will be a thing and if they will balance the classes, outlaw need some help
ARCHER IS GOOD PLAY ARCHER PLEASE
Archer.
you don't really need an e-celeb to tell you that the class with the spammable screen clear and exp buff is good
My post hit the max text limit. Obviously changes aren't specific to Shadowers.
That being said, Shadowers certainly were not cracked in pre-big bang, ESPECIALLY not in the final updates right before big bang. They were completely outclassed by Dual Blades in every way, still relied on a 2nd job skill as the main DPS and their only real point of difference was meso explosion, which was a meme skill.
Of course it would be even better if 4th job wasn't in the classic server at all.
this
illium is now 8 years old
The real question is if they will make instanced maps, because I doubt 20 channels or even 50 will be enough in 2025.
bishop because i just want to be dragged along in a party
if there's too many bishops i'll play a hero or drk or some shit
bash some fukken heads
Weren't Dual Blades a p2p class back then? Can't really compare free classes to them. And if we're talking about outclassed, might as well heavily buff archers and paladins because jesus fuck they were dogshit, especially if we're excluding 4th job.
I think they should introduce the new classes. And by classes, I mean CLASSES, not characters/heroes/whatever.
It should be the 5 explorers, cygnus knights, resistance classes and cannon trooper. Obviously the skillsets would be remastered to fit classic Maplestory.
And iff KPQ will be locked to 1 party and people would have to use clickers and shit
zoomers already want to ruin classic maple with what ruined maple in the first place
jesus christ everyone in this thread needs to burn
Did nu-maple ever make the cygnus knights not be a complete waste of space? If they did, that would be a good thing to backport to classic.
I every explorer gets a map wide AoE.
Thoughts?
Bow or crossbow?
archer
Didn't they have one of the absolute best 3rd job skillsets in pre-BB? Literally every single skill was useful.
Meanwhile in 4th job they get Sharp Eyes, Hurricane and/or Snipe.
Archers were the worst class in the game from 2010-2012 but for pre-BB they were decent. White Knight/Paladins obviously needed much more work.
Yes, Dual Blades were pay 2 win, which made it all the more frustrating for a Chief Bandit like myself back in the day, because people were literally paying money to be a far better version of me.
I had a Marksman pre-big bang, and made another in Artale. I want to see the other side this time. Gonna miss Iron Arrow, but it should be fun.
archers were dogshit since the start, they were only used as buff mules
get ready to suffer
archer not hitting the enemy with bow when close
not my classic maple
So Maple Classic is going to be huge, right? It’ll probably be the next OSRS now that OSRS got hijacked.
nexon
not completely shitting the bed when given a golden goose
I give it a year
It depends.
If they make it pure vanilla, only the old audience will play it, and everyone is in their 30s and 40s now.
They will obviously try to strike a balance between old and new, which is a good thing. Old Maplestory had a lot of nice qualities but it wasn't all great.
achers.... forward
Archers had a good kit, but it didn't make up for their horrible squishiness and awful damage. Arrow Rain/Eruption means fuckall if the Taurobastards could repeateadly hit you for over 60% of your health, and Hawk/Eagle stuns one single enemy, which is nice but not really that useful since single targets die in two or three Strafes anyways. Puppet was great, but situational.
Bigger than WoW
No one shilling this shit has even played old maple. most likely, the zoomzooms making this thread over and over are younger than maple itself.
Kill yourselves, retards.
>is in their 30s and 40s now.
lol no retard, no tranny, no, just no
Didn't Assassins have the same problem? They had far worse mobbing too.
Didn't they have one of the absolute best 3rd job skillsets in pre-BB? Literally every single skill was useful
While every skill is useful, they were still horrendously underpowered. Probably only White Knights and Outlaws had a worse 3rd job than Archers. You had a lot of cool shit to control the monsters on the map from PKB pushing monsters, distracting them with Puppet, using AE/AR from sniping spots, and so on to take minimal to no damage and getting monsters where you want them.
Archers are okay in first job, but that's like 20 levels so it doesn't even matter. They have a very solid 2nd job due to obtaining mobbing skills. They fall behind hard in 3rd, and are solid (Marksman) to top tier (Bowmaster) in 4th.
you're not real fans ree my nostalgia is so le heckin special and unique snowflake
calm down you insufferable tranny
lvl 20 with six digit mesos
how many people did this fag scammed lmao
50s?
So you're arguing that Maplestory became "ruined" in 2008? How are we defining ruined? You think its unplayable shit, or what? And it got ruined after only being out for around 5 years? That seems like a very obvious minority opinion, pointing to you being a very arrogant person the way you decided to frame it.
TRUE LUNACY why pizard of course
Of course, I'm an Archer main.
Sorry archers, but you aren't getting any hyper body from me
I am a HERO
like clockwork, madwolf is back and sperging out at everyone again
I guess it's going to be like this for every single maplestory thread on Anon Babble
comically bad at arithmetic
retail worker?
The bugette did say they imported lots of "QoL" features from GMS. Makes me wonder if this project is more a "mod" ran on top of GMS or something along the lines of Artale instead of them running on an old codebase like OSRS started from.
he told me if I dropped my mesos it would double if I waited 10 seconds
nobody called it a pizard or a pizzard, tranny, Way to out yourself as someone who's never played it.
inb4 you post nostalgia bait videos you got off Anon Babble
At least you confirm never having played it you dumb fucking brownoid monkey.
Obviously nexon can't afford good shills if they don't even understand what made the game a good one.
Oh but people jumping down through platforms is ok?
ironically you're the one who has the emotional control of a brown tranny
60s?
No, since they did fuck tons of damage and could attack while moving and had drain to sustain hp.
They made them their own classes, they should not backport cygnus.
You’re posting this on Anon Babble, which was also a site ruined in 2008
does my post anything like that?
you look like the walmart kind
Assassins crushed it in 1v1 DPS. That coupled with flash jump plus haste makes it so they get to monsters sooner than any other class. Avenger may not be broken compared to L7+SP, but it is a solid skill.
Pizard would be used on forums for builds that tried to get to Deep Ludi ASAP with Poison Brace.
Worse mobbing control, but their greater general mobility and avoidability, combined with higher single target damage and lack of minimum attacking range, made them far superior to archers. It helps that Avenger functioned similarly enough to Iron Arrow, and Assassins also had access to faster weapons and damage-boosting stars. Lucky Seven also had its own mastery and scaled purely off of LUK if I remember right, and those alone let Assassins completely dominate over other ranged classes in the early days.
Outside of bossing, sins didn't really get oneshot by anything, and having 90% evasion meant they spent almost nothing on potions. However they had to recharge their stars which could be equally as expensive.
Now bossing and HP washing is a whole other can of worms.
My opinion is hardly unique, brainlet. As soon as 4th job was introduced, the nature of the game changed completely. Mage Ultimates dictated everything and HP washing became mandatory for the new endgame boss Horntail.
For every single class in the game, paying a Bishop to leech you at the Skelegon Map was far better exp than actually killing monsters yourself. If you can't see the problem with that, you're beyond help. From levels 21-70 the game was full of PQing and social play, but from 120-up it's Leechstory + sometimes fighting a high-HP boss that doesn't move.
samefag does this on every single maplestory thread that gets posted on this board, like clockwork
nope, you're a tranny who bases his knowledge of the game on youtube nostalgia bait vids
we will incorporate QOL improvements from GMS
and it shows a jumping quest
what did they mean by this
Well no but you honed in on some ranger bs while ignoring the glaring error in the first 10 seconds of gameplay footage.
lack of minimum attacking range
Assassins would punch like archers whacking with bows. It just didn't always happen because Assassins could just... jump back, turn around, and Lucky 7 to make space.
Calm down you paranoid tranny.
I think they already confirmed down jumping will be a thing, but maybe they'll disable it on certain JQ maps so it doesn't break them
nobody used that word back then
My opinion is hardly unique.
Yes its often parroted between everyone on the 200 CCU private servers you move between every 6-24 months.
on the 200 CCU private servers you move between every 6-24 months
What?
no argument
No problem.
Let me guess you played Mage and are very insecure about losing your feeling of power in a preBB classic server.
90s
Am I having a mental fart or there are a few maps missing? don't remember being so empty between perion and the other cities
you're again basing your knowledge of the game on posts and videos because you've never played it. How embarrassing.
no one ever played maplestory except for me
Kek you do this every thread
Nexon is making suspiciously decent choices recently, regarding their old MMOs.
Maplestory Classic
Mabinogi Eternity (remake/engine upgrade)
All the random DFO stuff (Khazan, the 3D dfo successor, disregard whatever that godawful genshin clone DFO thing was)
Did they have a change in management or something?
Because it's a work in progress.
It's just MadWolf, aka BlackGoku.
He still holds grudges over every time Anon Babble didn't play a private server with him. The guy is a complete loser and can be safely ignored.
show us your character then
*crickets*
If they are doing so well why did their CEO commit suicide?
I don't even know who the fuck your boyfriend madwolf/blackgoku is but holy rent free. You're one obsessed tranny.
When you surround yourself with the 1,000~ people still playing pre-BB Maplestory, its easy to think your opinion isn't uncommon.
I'm excited to play an official progression server while at a time in my life where I have significant amounts of both money and free time, especially in an MMO where an active playerbase actually fucking matters. If I wanted to play some shitty version of the game permanently locked to a single patch, I'd go play one of the private servers.
Oh, this guy?
Is the pizza slice in the room with us right now?
Classic maplestory was fucking garbage and no amount of nostalgia will bring me back. The social aspect is dead and the gameplay was designed by a god damn monkey. The only redeeming factor (the community) will never resemble the original and even then it was only good because you were a dumbass kid.
Enjoy leveling in FoG for 10+ hours or some shit with some dork named XxaznXsasukexX
What about the mage classes that aren't cleric? way back in like 2007 i played an ice/lightning mage but didn't get very far
They're using the very old version of the world map. This again indicates they are starting from v0.1.
As for the missing maps, maybe they just haven't implemented them yet, or they are planning changes.
Yep.
it's so, so easy to out him too based on his retarded style of writing. lol. lmao, even.
Don't care, still playing.
They're okay. F/P wizard is probably the worst 2nd job mage, but in general 1st, 3rd, and 4th job the mage classes are good at leveling. Just expect to solo level and never boss if you pick a mage that isn't the Cleric branch.
maplestory was only good as escapism because of the art style, music and how nice the internet community was back then (mostly devoid of normgroids and troons). As a game it was absolute shit. Absolulu delulu.
NotAgainchads ww@?
hopping onto a friend's F/P mage and trainining in Orbis with fire arrow made me literally want to kill myself.
cozy
perhaps the real kekkeroni here is that I broke your mind so hard you remember me across different threads? lil itty bitty sweet baby... you know I love you
for me, it's:
Anon Babbletroon guild
no thanks
Posting the m*shroom c*stle version
Cringe.
you were in it madwolf, can even see your steam avatar in that image.
mmos are supposed to have time wasting features like
slow boss repawn times
limited spawn rates
low drop rates
and so on
instanced maps will never happen
That was 3 years ago.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing well specifically BECAUSE he's gone.
god imagine if they bring back happyville youtube.com
you're built like a stepped on poptart and you used wolbis until lv140
schizo tranny still ranting about his ex
I'm not your boyfriend, unc.
That's the only version from SlipySlidy's channel. Of course it was also the theme of the maps when traveling from Henesys to Kerning City.
*cracks open a monster*
Yep, I walked that route all the time back in 2005. I actually rationalized it by saying it saved me 1.2k mesos on the taxi trip.
look at the art style
0 (zero) sovl
Wasn't that because he invested big in CliffyB?
If you had a pet it wasnt that hard back in the day.
i hate nu-maple art style so much
yes we know that free mmos are pay2win
I wonder how they are "recovering" the classic information, most websites that had everything from old maple is gone and I doubt they have access to the original clients
It was only $12.
I/L is the best levelling class of ANY job for 2nd job, but the worst 3rd job
F/P is the opposite. Absolute dick tier 2nd job but can cheese 3rd job completely with poison mist.
Cleric is fine, it's not really fast at levelling by itself but can do so practically freely, and getting into parties is guaranteed. Then you hit priest and get Holy Symbol.
at lvl 20? no you zoomer
it looks like generic digital art full of smooth gradients with final fantasy animu tier special effects spammed all over the screen for no fucking reason
Original code is gone, but Wizet probably has documentation here and there pre-bigbang and shit old wizet employees remember.
You can decompiles old wz files and get all the info you need. I'd probably remember a good deal of it still, too. It's funny.
What kind of retarded faggot only had one character back then lol, sounds like you were one of those noob shitters walking around with a 6 att work glove
bishop like literally everyone else with a brain
I doubt people still have maple 0.01 and so on
look at how much personality is in this shop. i don't know what it is about old maple background assets but they didn't look gay like they do now
There's a pretty comprehensive archive of old version. True, it doesn't have all of them, but it's something.
forum.ragezone.com
god I remember playing the beta
What are you talking about? bbb is still online.
there are still pre-bb websites on the internet and various forum posts even posts like ayumilovemaple.wordpress.com
beta is mostly gone
How did old Maplestory compare to old Runescape in terms of soul?
2009
bro...
Old MS maps integrated the terrain and objects into the platforms. In that shop you can jump on top of the cauldron. In Ellinia you can climb all the way up to the rafters and hide from other players.
Nu MS is just flat lines with decorations in front or behind. Some people will defend this as "better gameplay since you remove the distractions" but it's complete destruction of sovl.
This is the first track you hear when you get off the tutorial island.
youtu.be
What were the updates that had Orbis, but no 3rd job or Ludibrium? That is how I remember it back when I played in 2005 when my irl friend Jeremy got me into the game. I think I quit exactly around the time Mushroom Shrine came out; I remember it being packed.
Holy soul kino overload. Words cannot describe how it felt to experience this for the first time back then.
Thoughts on Kerning Square?
youtube.com
youtube.com
Both were equally as soulful because they had overlapping communities, and the internet and people who had access to it as a whole were different back then. I've never been a runescape player but I will easily admit that old runescape was the better game. Besides killing mobs, there wasn't shit to do in maple but socializing and being poor, which was fun back then with the old community. Old runescape is a way more interactive game
Not classic and sovlless.
Both Royals and Legends have OC and balance patches anyways because even they knew the vanilla experience was dogshit, so hopefully the staff for Classic does the same.
Rebalance things
Still leech story
For me it's this one. Ludi probably won't be in at launch though so I'll have to wait a while to get to hear this.
youtu.be
They should've gone with this version of the lobby BGM:
Which reminds me. Didn't some 4th job mage spells have a casting bar? Wasn't it bishop bigbang? They could always add that to mages AoE to balance that shit.
If we're talking about Ludi, this is where it's at:
mall
numaple art style
sovless^2
Old maple were great for child me but honestly I'd never want to revisit it as adult me. The people are gone. I can't spend 7-30 minutes waiting for ships just to move to another continent. I don't have time to spend 2-4 hours grinding at himes or whatever other training spots are. I especially don't have time spaming S>Red Whip for 100k@@@@@@@ in front of FM, only to get shittier offer. Still loved the music and just dicking around the maps though. Idk why I only enjoy the random questlines or event stories more the last time I briefly played maple (that's like 4 years ago now)
Ludi PQ:
youtube.com
that feeling of joy when the party leader finally gets in
dropping coins on the portals you're occupying
hitting the boxes to spawn bloctopus
that one guy who accidentally got himself killed by the high damage dark block golems
that one guy who would drop 20 useless etc items then the ticket on top, causing the leader to f7
that one noob who couldn't jump on the right box for the number combination
133-221-333-123-111
For me, it was descending the Orbis Tower for the first time with my friend.
youtube.com
Could barely kill a Jr Sentinel as a level 24, and could only do 1 damage to the bigger ones with high def.
Then we'd reach El Nath and I'd be like what the fuck is this place?
funnily enough, kerning square IS old school maple content. Originally world tour content based on Taiwan, Kerning Square is a renamed Taipei 101. I don't think GMS ever got it, but it was old school as shit

I know it will never happen in a million years but I would love to see maple start over from scratch with good gameplay this time.
Do not reply to MadWolf.
I'm sorry I abused you emotionally but I doubt that anon cares about your hurt feelings, tranny.
indicates they are starting from v0.1.
Ludibrium wasn't added until v0.19
Looks like I'm slow leveling then. Not gonna miss out on Ludi PQ
It's weird but I still remember the specific feeling I had when I first saw pics of maple on some invisionfree pokemon mutation factory forum. I remember this guy named Diggeh posted a maple thread and got a bunch of us into the game. I couldn't even believe it was a real game. Must have been like 10 or 11 at the time and thought sleepywood was the coolest thing I'd ever seen in a video game
literally localized TMS content. not a fan
I had very similar experiences with old maple meme videos like maple kombat and when I first reached lith harbor and maple/tutorial island. That feeling of a cool breeze passing by mixed with childlike wonder. Is that what you mean? I wonder if everyone felt the same.
He's a fag but he's not wrong, kerning square isn't remotely classic and shits on the old map design. CDs is the absolute worst offender of overpowered flat maps, the quest design fucking sucked so much barely anyone ever did it, and it was the only map worth grinding on. At least in mp3 or jesters some faggot mech or aran couldn't come and steal the whole map from you, and you had a reason to party on those maps
How did you feel about Orbis?
I still listen to the game's OST from time to time and that's one of my favorite tracks. Ludibrium's theme is also surprisingly interesting, IMO.
good, v18 added hp scrolls and hp washing, fuck all that
cronnoponno 1 month ago
It actually makes a lot of sense. This is an 8 months old comment but it's actually quite genius.
The Lego theme brings the image of childhood. The happy go-lucky music and colorful characters shows us a beautiful world that almost feels like it's eternal and unmoving. It's practically frozen in time. Interestingly, the deeper down into Ludibrium you go, the more it starts to lose its toy theme and becomes more about decay and death with the death teddies.
On one side of the bottom, you have the spirit vikings. Out of everything in Ludibrium these guys are giant adult-like figures in pirate ships. They haven't outgrown their childish side, and while it looks all cutesy with Maplestorys artstyle you will notice that they are actually quite dead, their desire to remain in childhood forever is eating away at their soul. You'll also notice that there are a few enemies that are bound to a clock, time. Regardless of their wishes, it will always move forward, they're slaves to it unable to move forward. Interestingly, at the very-very bottom you have a giant enemy called the "Gatekeeper" that protects the heart of Ludibrium. While it may seem cutesy due to the way Maplestory seems, I think it's quite clear that Ludibrium reflects the beauty of nostalgia, as well as the ugliness of stagnation.
On the other side of the bottom, you have ghosts that are attached to bears. Bears are a common toy that makes you think of a child. The toys are beaten to a pulp, and the lower level enemies have their spirits leaking out of the teddy bear, it almost feels like it's being tortured and forced to continue on. Higher-level versions of this enemy are creepy ghosts that literally have the teddy-bear toys chained to them, with a charm on the bears that resembles a talisman to bring back the dead. Pretty symbolic of how we tend to cannibalize things we hold nostalgic to us to the point it no longer has meaning. Finally, on this side at the very bottom we have the giant enemy Thantos, literally the symbol of Death. With the gatekeeper and Thanatos in mind, it's clear what the theme of Ludibrium is.
Finally, we have Papulatus. A being that is literally hiding inside of a crack in time to avoid facing punishment for his crimes. The player must find the piece of time and put it back where it belongs, allowing time to flow naturally for Ludibrium again and overcoming the allure ofinaction. Symbolic of your player characters growth as a person.
The time theme of Ludibrium makes sense. While the Time Temple artistically shows the process of coming to terms with your mortality, Ludibrium shows the two-faced nature of forever living in the moment and how it can destroy you if you're not careful.
Before Big Bang there was a lot of thought into the areas in Maplestory.
Should they bring in the six path crossway?
you know gaming is completely fucked when the most excited you been for a game in the last 3 years is a shitty MMO you played 20 years ago
I don't know what job to play, bros. I'm actually very upset about this.
That feeling of a cool breeze passing by mixed with childlike wonder.
Yes, I can still smell it. The art style is something I'd never seen before, idk even something as simple as the lv10 wooden sword and the snowboards looked so amazing to me as a kid. I was so enamored with the way all of the gear looked, I wanted to be every class because their items looked so awesome. I can't put a finger on why I think the classic art style is that much better. New maple looks very insincere and generic in comparison.
I really miss all the forums, sleepywood, mapletip, maple-world, basil, southperry. Holy shit the culture around this game in the early 2000s had so much soul
Just play Warrior like usual.
Log in to Maple for some nostalgia
Ah yes time to go chat on the boat- what's this
mfw just teleports you around the map
Boat completely empty
Of course not. Fuck outta here with this shit.
most of the thread are nostalgic for stuff that came out in 2010
grim
Holy shit the culture around this game in the early 2000s had so much soul
As a Cleric, once you max Heal and MP Eater, you're basically set for a potion-free experience for the next 40 or so levels. The main goal of a Cleric is to be as self-sustaining as possible. Heal restores HP, MP Eater leeches MP off of the undead enemies you train on (Zombie Mushrooms, Chronos, Wraiths, Coolies). Invincible allows you to reduce physical damage to such a degree that you won't need Magic Guard for a very long time.
After that, you party with Dragon Knights, which constantly supply you with Hyper Body. And because of that, you can continue to not use Magic Guard for a much longer period of time. You continue to heal yourself with Heal, MP Eater continues draining MP from enemies (Teddies, Phantom Watches, Himes), and Invincible keeps you from getting one-shot from these mobs (assuming you're the appropriate level).
All in all, Clerics/Priests have it real fuckin' easy in terms of potion costs if you know what you're doing, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out how to work their kit. You just need to power through those first 45 levels.
As for the other mages, idk lol
maple story still exists?
Asking again: do you guys think they should have an Angelic Buster Class in the Classic World? I know it's nuMaple but I think an exception should be made.

Yeah. Bang-a-lang!

its corpse does. it's p2w to the max and the art is soulless

go have sex
what an atrociously generic art style. If you showed me that character outside of this thread I'd say it's from some gacha goyslop app made by an indian.

the sheer volume of text on this page
Wtf, at what point did Maplestory become so lore-intensive?

every narutard had those names in forums and online games back then
The Great Debate.
Remember when people started doing i[Name]? kek
Anyone here want to play with me?
I think the 2020 one looks the best, even if the 2012 version is a bit more faithful to the original Maplestory character design. Don't know what the fuck happened with 2023's. Doesn't even look like it's from the same game as the other two.
I still want Angelic Buster to sit on my face.
Legends?
yes
I'd buster her angelic if you know what I mean.
that one guy who accidentally got himself killed by the high damage dark block golems
With the addition of down jump, I dread the day I accidentally end up doing this. It hasn't happened yet, but I get paranoid as fuck around that area now.
I don't think anyone liked the new design. Pic related was made in retaliation back when the design was revealed.
why are so many of us unable to let go of this stupid game
I let go of it
its fairly easy when the game now is the state it is
i haven't played maple since they added that pink zakum boss event in the visitors area, i think around the time phantom came out, but I still think about the game a lot. i can't fully let go of the idea of a good version of old school maple. every time i think about playing a private server i sign up and can't bring myself to download and play it. i believe i want a version of the game that doesn't exist and never will
what game do you play now?
the concept of the black mage (and thus an overarching story) was introduced as early as pirates were released, and started to be formalized with cygnus knights, Aran, Evan, etc. So basically during the last 2 or so years of pre-bb. Since then the lore has only gotten deeper and deeper, but it's not really that deep. The black mage story is done and right now we're basically in Arc 2 which is a direct sequel to black mage story. More races, classes, locations, religions, etc. have been introduced since then. Some of the old school characters are still involved in the story, like the mage and archer instructors.
