Take a mini Maplestory Break - Summer x2 Event

[Doxinator]

Summer is here. It?s time for a break?from school, job, and even from the MapleStory grind!



For your leisurely pleasure we will have FIVE Fridays during which 2x EXP will allow you to level up in half the time you normally would.

So, on Fridays from June 26th to July 24th, we?ll have SIX hours of 2x EXP fun!

This is the breakdown for your mini breaks:

LOTS of x2...

[Dusk]

Take a break from grinding! By grinding even more. Holy pomegranate Nexon. It's like Anniversary all year long.

[Mark]

So this is where the 2x EXP came from.

[IsaacGS]

Thanks Nexon!


...For spreading out the 2x so that you'll have to buy 3 different cards or a 24 hour card if you want to take advantage of all of them.

[Sn1perJohnE]

Oh Nexon you sly dog you, breaks arnt for addicts.

[Dusk]

Thanks Nexon!


...For spreading out the 2x so that you'll have to buy 3 different cards or a 24 hour card if you want to take advantage of all of them.

And you know people are gonna do it, too f3 Maybe with some 2x reps in between for good measure.

[ArbalistMaster]

oh yeah, take a 2 hour break from work to maple. twice a day. Nexo really wants to get us fired.

[Russt]

Thanks Nexon!

Or just not, because, you know, not everyone needs 4x to live.

But lol @ 2x being a "break" from grinding.

[Conciente]

Are there 24 hours cards on the CS?

This event is awesome. 12pm-12am EST every Friday... here I come!

[Nikkey]

Thanks Nexon!

You can't take advantage of 2x events without 2x cards?

[MetaSeraphim]

I am laughing in real life right now at this. At this rate Nexon will add a 2x event every weekend till the end of time.

[Stereo]

Let's see...
12-2pm EST, 5-7pm EST, 10-12pm EST.

God damn that is a lot of 2x.

[Zalfor]

Maple Break? More like wrist breaking.

[IsaacGS]

Not talking about myself, talking about what other people are going to do. By spreading it out like this Nexon makes extra $$$ off a 3rd card that people wouldn't need to buy if these were back to back.

[Sn1perJohnE]

One thing i do like about this, is that now i can be on 2x later, and probably not worry about being ksed.

[Flirtini]

love how people whine about free things. nobody is obligated to buy 2x cards. i sure as hell am not =p last month's 2x event drained all my will to train ;D

ontopic:~ for some reason, i thought the event was about blocking your account for XX hours so you can take a break from maple LOL! the event title is so misleading ;x

[Greg22]

Hm, well.. not sure how I'll be able to take advantage of this. Maybe I'll force myself to APQ a bit more to afford scrolls to MTS.

[WillDaSnail]

Interesting......except the fact that Nexon broke it into little sections. :f3:

[CommanderJinn]

Well I feel like people can complain about the company no matter what o_O. I mean there are some who say this is bad cause people are going to have to go buy 3 different 2x cards each day (which they aren't obligated too) and that people are going to play too much (hence the wrist breaking comments) but when we have a normal 2x event, people complain about the times being bad for them.

We should just accept the event for what it is: I kind gesture from nexon trying to get better public relations with their userbase (which has been declining for quite a bit). I mean compared to mid 08 and before, nexon has been pretty good to us.

[Chameleonic]

Only redeeming thing is that it is only once a week...and as usual I cant make any of them due to the times.

[Firehuntah]

Probably not even going to train during these 2x events... Kind of had enough training during last patch, don't need more 2x for now. >_> I did quests during today's 2x exp events on my Outlaw. f3

[Punch]

FML for using a Family 2x EXP during one of the 2x EXP Mini Breaks...

Damn.

[Zpyke]

Take a break from school, work, and grinding. So finally they admit grinding's a second damn job. :f3:

[Kirov]

So finally they admit grinding's a second damn job. :f3:

To some people it's full-time.

[Devil]

Now if we had Knights of Cygnus ALREADY... then this 2x exp would have been usefull... -.-

I'm not really gonna -actively- train anymore beyond lvl 150 because even with 4.44x exp rates it's FRICKIN BORING, because I'm soloing and not leeching my ass off...

And besides that... why would I train... I can survive every boss in this game, and I think HT and PB are retarded bosses anyway...
So... end lvl 15x-ish... a nice 15watt bonus for my Cygnus... WHICH WE DONT HAVE DAMMIT... -.-

But I guess this is one more event to get Nexon a LOT of cash from the leechers wanting to get to lvl200... to quit 2 weeks after because they think maple is so boring at lvl 200... :')

Really... we should have had KoC by now... so people have something to lvlup... or should have been given the chance to get 2 (or more) Cygus characters to lvlup in summer...

B> KoC patch... Time Temple is nice... but can't really entertain me during the summer... -.-

[Zpyke]

KoC would be nice. Then new players can actually get to a reasonable level without wasting a whole year. And afterwards they'll be encouraged to play a stronger character. Maybe ms will finally have new players that don't stop after level 30. :f7:

[Punch]

Don't you think KoC is a retarted idea though? =/

Don't get me wrong, they look awesome and I'll probably make one for fun...
But, cmon, a totally new class, based on the best skills of the current 5 jobs?
Seems like Nexon just ran out of ideas with this one... no?

P.S: (Isn't KoC patch in August?)

[FlameChocobo]

I'm not gonna bother with this 2x EXP event, because you have to deal with nabs that KS you if they cannot find a different training area/channel. If asked politely, they'll ignore you and tell you to "ccplz." EVEN if you tell them you were here first! Seriously, they really piss me off.

For instance, I got KS'd 2 times by a Priest (AKA D0NALD). Last saturday, I was training at Hime with a Priest, and then suddenly, D0NALD came in with a CB. We asked them politely to change channels, yet they can't leave. And on Sunday, I was KS'd. This time, he has a crusader with him. I asked him politely, and he refused and tells me to "ccplz." I told him I was here first, yet, he claims that I wasn't. He lies to me. I was extremely angry. Later on, 2 Bishops jumped on D0NALD for KSing me. After the long KSing, D0NALD was finally forced to leave the map, so I can have even more EXP.

Seriously! I hate those immature people that KS me and won't leave like I asked them to. :f7:

[Kabanaw]

When I can take advantage of the 2X, I'm bringing my AM to Windraiders to prevent KSing. Also, where is a good place for a 7x CB to train besides windraiders, with no ME until 78?

Edit: I think Cygnus is more for new players than current ones. It's MapleStory on "Easy," so new people can start the game more easily.

P.S: (Isn't KoC patch in August?)Well I'm making a KoC for FUN... Don't forget KoC have their own original skills to play with, so no I dont think they're unoriginal at all! :)

B> July KoC patch... the KoC preview events / quests begin to activate in 2~3 weeks right? Can't wait! :)

That's pretty much the point. Nobody's going to seriously make a Cygnus and quit their mains for it; they just want to experience a new class without having to go through the trouble of gaining 150 levels. As for the hardcore grinders, if it's not the experience of a different class they'll be looking forward to, it's the passive 12 ATK gained from leveling a Cygnus.

And accuracy and avoid. 12 of each is a lot for a warrior.

[modular]

take a break? from ms? ok.

this patch had 2 things:
time temple - to access all of it you have to do countless quests that take forever
agent events - spend as much time as you can on ms to have a chance at 1 cool thing!

now an event to try to get us playing even longer! nexon is shamelessly begging us to stay online. ill take a break, thanks.
