[1.2.159] EFPQ nerfed; more Pink Bean changes

[Fiel]

More changes to the Pink Bean fight

- All bosses involved in the Pink Bean fight have had their magic attack reduced by 170
- The room in which the MR hawk statue bans you to now has an NPC (http://www.southperry.net/Pictures/PinkBean/2141001.png) in it. He has a script called "Pink_Been_Out"
- Pink Bean was changed to have a public and "explosive reward".
- A bug in which the 2nd form of the MR hawk statue only having 20k HP was fixed.
- Mini-beans (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/mm398/Southperry/KMST12157/8820007-8.png) now have the boss flag set to 1
- Pink Bean and the ML hawk statue now cast a different version of http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm398/Southperry/PinkBean/145level1mob0.png

145.level.2.x 10000
145.level.2.y 5000
145.level.2.mpCon 1
145.level.2.interval 60
145.level.2.time 20
145.level.2.mob.0.origin.x 18
145.level.2.mob.0.origin.y 45
145.level.2.mob.0.image
145.level.2.mob.repeat 1
145.level.2.mob.pos 2
145.level.2.hp 70

It's stronger now. The HP before was 50% (this shows the HP percentage in which a boss needs to be before it can cast a skill) and the x value was 1500 and the y value was 500. Usually when there's an X and Y value like this, it means health regeneration. Maybe this move is supposed to be a constant regen move?

A new message was added to show to new users:

Translated by ZYXWVUT:
-While a beginner, AP increases with STR prioritized.
-1st job advancement requirements are Magician Level 8, and Warrior, Bowman, Thief, and Pirate are Level 10.
-Upon the 1st job advancement, the stats are reset to fit the job.


And a new entrance was added to the Time Temple:

All of the nerfs for EFPQ are with the boss and its evolutions.

First boss:

http://www.southperry.net/Pictures/PinkBean/9300180.png
HP: 420k --> 63k
Physical attack: 450 --> 220
Magic Defense: 320 --> 160
EVA: 0 --> 18

Still gives no exp.

Second form of the first boss:

http://www.southperry.net/Pictures/PinkBean/9300181.png
HP: 543k --> 83k
Physical Attack: 530 --> 250
Magic Defense: 320 --> 170
EVA: 0 --> 18

Final form:

http://www.southperry.net/Pictures/PinkBean/9300182.png
HP: 758k --> 113k
Physical Attack: 300 --> 230
Physical Defense: 590 --> 280
Magic Defense: 440 --> 220
EVA: 0 --> 18
EXP: 45k --> 18k

[Berzerk]

Wow, cool. Thank you for the info.

[Combattente]

Very cool!

Too bad, I'm not on KMS Tespia.

[DrRusty]

explosive reward?? So pink bean will end up giving out a prize like a zhelm or pendant?

[Combattente]

Pink bean helmet.

It'd be like "lol".

[IsaacGS]

explosive reward?? So pink bean will end up giving out a prize like a zhelm or pendant?
more like the map will be covered by drops when it dies. At least I think that's what explosive reward means.

Oh no, someone broke the goddess's wings :x

[DrRusty]

Pink Bean was changed to have a public and "explosive reward".


Public and explosive?? Maybe public means that it will give out a buff to everyone in the ch or something like the horntail squad buff or the nine spirit eggs buff.

Public as in everyone can loot the drops, like Pianus, rather than the VIP who dealt most damage getting first dibs.

[Fiel]

Moved to public. Enjoy, guys.

[Retalion]

EFPQ = Elin Forest PQ right? I guess much to Isaac's disappointment, the PQ boss got nerfed instead of the level range getting changed =X

As for the new beginner message, is that for KMST only or will that be moved to KMS? In GMS Tespia, we already have a similar system (set your ap to a level 70 blahblahblah class) but if its moved to official, then mages would have an easier time because they can just put all points into str and kill faster to get to 8, which is often the hardest part, killing monsters with 4 strength.

I remember for Tespia, I would just not put my points from 1-8 in and just set it to 70 of my chosen class, then have 35 (or is it 40) more SP to use. I wonder (assuming this will be moved to KMS) if this method can be used to get more SP if its moved to the official version too...

I think the SP reset actually means it just takes all your SP out (except for 4 of each) and lets you re-add it. (What is that 49 stat to add at level 8 and 59 stat to add at level 10?)

[KatanaKiwi]

explosive reward rite? i think he will drop timeless weapons for sure i think :s but that alone would be a bummer, because i hope they wont be been-only drops, and i was kind of hoping for a cool item :S

well time will tell, i hope its something cool

What does that Script do? kick you OUT of the fight? D:

Also, about the kicking out skill... Is there any way to avoid it? Or is it like a 1hit KO, unavoidable, but no exp loss?

I hope it just lets you in again...

[Viper]

"Explosive Reward," Timeless equips or a special item like Zhelm or HT Pendant, PB ???.

[»-Chris->]

Heh, nice. They really nerfed the boss! =P

No, it resets your stats except for the requirement; 35 STR for Warriors, 20 INT for Mages, 25 DEX for Thieves, etc.

EFPQ = epic fail party quest

I can't believe they continue to make bullshit low level crap. Especially things which are so key to the overall storyline of the Maple World. It's an insult to the serious players who have been playing for years.

Yeah... At least, make some instances for different level limits... :(

It'd be just good for everyone. Like lv 45-55, lv 55-70, lv 70-100, lv 100-120, lv 120-150, lv 150-200. with monsters being harder as the level increases.

AND EVERYONE HAPPY.

BUT NOPE!! they need to say to the players playing longer that they get less stuff :p

Great idea, but so many instances would require a ton more work. Also, would you really want to go through Kerning PQ for fun only to need a team of late 4th jobbers just to down the King Slime at the end?

I would think it would be better to have one instance with a level cap and have a second instance with no level cap. Maybe an advanced version of the monsters inside for the cap-less instance, but not one which would require a team of endgame 4th jobbers to down it.

I'd also say that prizes should be gimped for completing the cap-less one. Instead of getting scrolls and shit, they could give a bundle of pots or something.

Pink Bean says hi.

[Corn]

Thanks Fiel.
However, even if explosive does mean "massive drops" it still wouldn't really make sense...pink bean's dieing animation won't really fit that.

[Sinnuendo]

Thanks Fiel.

I'm guessing fireworks, a map full of drops, and a channel-wide buff. xd

Either that or killing Pink Bean destroys the world. :o

Now that's something I always imagined for all pqs, for the monster book entries... And the quest involving them, if you didn't have the chance to complete them :p

My other idea was for the new pq, since the boss looks like a high level one... when it's a low level at this moment D:

[Valarius]

Itt: Pink been cape!!!

[Hazzy]

"-Upon the 1st job advancement, the stats are reset to fit the job."
Whoa! :o

[Afrobean]

Pink Bean says hi.
I'm well aware, however, I feel that as a player gets higher and higher level, they should be able to do more and more things, not less and less.

[Jirai]

There is a Pendant in the data that was added in with the Timeless weapons that gives +9 to all stats. I wonder if that's what Pink Bean drops?

[ahoboandahal]

There is a Pendant in the data that was added in with the Timeless weapons that gives +9 to all stats. I wonder if that's what Pink Bean drops? That would be horrible. 4 hour plus boss fight for 2 more stats, unless its upgrades gave like 20 to each stat?

[IsaacGS]

You can forge the level 120 equips with the Maker skill, however you need to be at least 115 to do so.

I don't usually look at the equipment because... I don't care about that, however I do remember when there were no monsters, and only ETC items, that there were two halves of a pendant:

일스가 가지고 있던 조각난 보석이 달린 펜던트이다.
펜던트 조각
일스의 반쪽짜리 펜던트를 이루고 있던 나머지 조각이다. 일스의 펜던트에 맞추면 꼭 맞을 것 같다.
일스의 펜던트

and then a whole pendant:

Maybe you turn that in for a quest or something. It seems to imply it holds some sort of powers.

[Stereo]

Pink Bean says hi.

Here, a list of PQs they've released (that I can remember):
Kerning PQ - passed level range in 3 days
Ludibrium PQ - level 6x when it was released, eventually made a level 4x Fighter to try it
Orbis PQ - level 10x when it was released, eventually made a level 6x Spearman to try it
Guild Quest - can do it (however the boss is resistant to every element so I can only use my 1st/2nd job skills)
Amoria PQ - can do it (however I can't hit the boss much because I'm a melee class)
Henesys PQ - can do it
Pirate PQ - Level 11x when it was released, Spearman tried it too
Ludibrium Maze PQ - level 11x when it was released, never bothered
El Nath / Horntail PQ - Can do them
Monster Carnival PQ - level 120 when it was released, made another level 3x Fighter for it since the prize is tradeable (the first one outleveled it)

I'm not really training quickly, I'm just not stopping and waiting for new PQs to be released. The only one with a level cap that even came close to my level is the Pirate PQ, so I get to waste time playing secondary characters if I want to try everything the game has to offer.

The level gap between the last capped PQ and Pink Bean is 80 levels. What are you supposed to do for variety or story in all that time? Amoria PQ is only available to people who pay money, Guild Quest is only an option if you're in one of a handful of guilds.

[Spadow]

A new entrance added to the Time Temple, new expansion soon?

They added a new haircut in KMST 1.2.160, where is it available?

Shocking D:

[Bacon]

Shocking D:
Read it again. Fiel's answer was directed to Sparrow asking where to find the new haircut, not to the location on the world map.

As much as I'd love to try out the "Epic Fail PQ" as Afro calls it, I'm really disappointed that they had to nerf it. I have no idea why they felt they needed to nerf it in the first place. The original level plan was fine. Nexon just wasted their own time nerfing the PQ, and I'm sure they'll be pleased to know that all that work was for nothing because the community isn't very pleased about it.

I just hope they don't nerf the GMS version of the PQ. But I doubt that. Ah well. Pink Been still looks fun.

[IsaacGS]

Shocking D:
There's a misunderstanding here. XD

He can't tell where the HAIR is from, as hair salons are server-side data.

i'm sure he could tell you where the time Temple's door is, assuming it's been implemented on a map at this point.

OH! I thought Fiel meant the hair, since I was quite certain I saw the door somewhere before...

Also, I've always wanted to do that kind of quote :3

And even if it's out of context now... I DON'T REGREEEEET!

KMS doesn't have Masteria, so of course it's not on their world map.
Although it's not on ours either.

Rofl... not really what I meant...

I meant in the detailed world map that shows only Time Temple.

ps I like that you have a "watermark" finally, but you know, it's not hard to remove something like that... Couldn't you do a transparent thing in the corner?

Changed the watermark, as you can see. Huge thanks to Koolk for helping me out with this. I'll probably be changing the watermark more in the future.

It's really annoying to see people posting shit from here on Sleepywood and failing to give credit (not that they could anyway I suppose, but that's a whole other issue).

Hmm... So where does that new door appear? It's a map object right? Is it present on any existing map? I would have thought it was related to those 3 doors we knew of from before, but those doors in the map don't include the Goddess ornamentation.

Also, did anyone ever notice the architecture hidden behind the scroll with the area's name on it? How about that purple plant that looks more than a little like the Mighty Maple Eaters in Masteria?

[Fiel]

I did some crossreferencing in the data to find the location of that sprite. Turns out that the map that contains this sprite is located just outside of Pink Bean's altar. I'm betting it's the altar entrance. I checked the map string and the map is called Deep Temple : Forgotten Dusk (신전 깊은 곳 : 잊혀진 황혼).

Also, digging through a bit more, I see that they added another portal. I'm not sure where it leads, but it's a portal with a script attached to it --> timeQuest.

http://southperry.net/Pictures/PinkBean/timeTemplefire.acc.10.0.png

I checked the map location and it's JUST BEFORE the map with the big entrance mentioned above. The name of the map containing the new portal is 타임로드 : 망각의 길5.

I'm curious as to what it is. The map that has this portal in it is nothing spectacular (bottom-right corner):

Let me do some more digging and I can find out.

I know kMS doesn't have it. :P I was asking if it was on ours. :[

They should make a Pink Been face (acc/mask) like a zhelm or pendant and that it does funny expressions when pressing F2,F3, and so on or mayme Pink been tail (cape) :)

[Wani]

That's great. It's really annoying to see people posting shit from here on Sleepywood and failing to give credit (not that they could anyway I suppose, but that's a whole other issue).

Actually, lol, I noticed in the pink bean animation thread, the OP put in the original post a little after he posted it "Credits to Fiel and Southperry", then slowly as the thread grew, he edited it to make it larger.

[Acim]

more like the map will be covered by drops when it dies. At least I think that's what explosive reward means.

Oh no, someone broke the goddess's wings :x

Maybe an explosive reward as in that message when HT dies, the [Notice] thing, except with a list of the killers in it! :O

[Yoorah]

Changed the watermark, as you can see. Huge thanks to Koolk for helping me out with this. I'll probably be changing the watermark more in the future.


http://www.southperry.net/Pictures/PinkBean/BaseImg.0.png

The watermarks are great for promoting the forum, since these images will be posted all over -- IMO, you should make the text even bigger, depending on the size of the image. However, watermarks ruin the images if you're trying to use them for some kind of an art project, or if someone just likes to collect these things. Would it be possible to reupload the images as non-watermarked after the "breaking news" hype dies down? It would be nice to have clean images for reference.


It sucks that the EFPQ was made for noobs, after all. I suppose fighting Horned Tail will be the only "PQ" for my level range for quite a while.

After a few days per our agreement I put up clean map images on strategywiki, including that particular map. I'm sure if you needed something without a watermark on it for a specific purpose, then such a request could be filled.

[Cyanne]

About that change in the purple buff, Lilino's version of it reflects back roughly 10% damage (could possibly actually be 15% as the bishop in the video may have had extra mdef). If it was 15%, the 1500 x value would kinda make sense, meaning that the "new" version of this would reflect back 100% of the damage you would deal to the boss (basing this off 15%:1500, 100%: 10000). So basically, attacking the boss with this buff up would be extremely lethal to any class except possibly archmages and bishops, when not using ultimates. Looking at the statue with this buff, it looks like only blizzard would be able to control summons once it's up, since any other ultimate would kill its caster, unless maybe partial or elemental resistance would help prevent reflected damage.

[EndlessAxis]

OMG! maybe you have to go back in time to save the job instructors from BP to keep the fabric of space and time from falling apart...and the item PB drops should IMO be a common class skill revolving time or somthing of the sort
