[1.2.339] Lionheart Castle?

[Fiel]

Data is pretty scarce at the moment.

Oh, and yes they changed Guild Skills again. It's even more expensive.

What is this?

[iamflip]

Oh my. Could this... be the castle that was in the background of the El Nath maps?

[Duelman]

I think we are looking at the mobs for the castle we have been speculating about in that general discussion thread.

A grown up version of Pepe's castle I guess, those mob hps/exp look very interesting for post big bang partying.

[Deviant]

Oh my. Could this... be the castle that was in the background of the El Nath maps?

That was my first thought too.

It looks like a promising high level area, cant wait to see what comes of this.

The "9" continent is usually reserved for special maps like PQs and the like. Since the warp scroll has a 2 continent on it, I'm betting an area with a PQ attached.

[Kalovale]

Seven of Spades?

[madanthony]

I hope for a proper little town with some shop NPCs and a storage guy on account of the warp scrolls.

[Intangible]

Defiantly has an El-Nathian feel to it *fingers crossed*

[-Ghost-]

Nice looking enemies, but their HP is scary :ohno:

[Index]

Mushroom Castle for grown-ups?

[Alloy]

I love the tower guy. Also, this seems to be some kind of original PQ. The hp values have ridiculous values, so I bet there's a trick to it. Or simply something like a mini-dojo.

Eh I dunno, post BB you'll have people bringing stuff like that down in less than 20-30 seconds, maybe they're finally making an area thats more about killing high HP things for high exp, as opposed to mobbing things that are quick kills.

Doesnt seem likely though.

[ItachiPower]

Looks like a new Guild PQ to me! Woot!!

[Rob]

Also, lol at I/Ls getting all resistances here.

[madanthony]

Any idea what kind of damage they do with those attack values?

They will do that number's worth of damage or lower. Never higher.

[Rob]

>Elemental Reset

Still, it' would've been fair if they did a couple F/P resistances and a couple I/L resistances.

[madanthony]

They will do that number's worth of damage or lower. Never higher.
Oh. That makes sense. Didn't know they made that change.

[Chameleonic]

Looks like a new Guild PQ to me! Woot!!

Please not another PQ, we have too many already. :f4::f5:

We need more stuff people can do on their own.

[ItachiPower]

We've only got one. And those ghost NPC's remind me of the on in Guild PQ. My money's on another guild pq.

[Aggravate]

Seems that way, but you never know. They could always put that "Alliance PQ" to good use too.

Agreed, and I SO WANT THAT HAIR NANO O:

[FrozNlite]

Still, it' would've been fair if they did a couple F/P resistances and a couple I/L resistances.

Assuming we're still going around Paralyzing everything as opposed to Big Banging, it's not like it really matters, aside from the one Poison immune mob.

Resistances are a joke now for every class - it just means it's an element you have to stay away from lest your damage be cut. All that really matters are weaknesses, so classes know which skills will get the boost.

Seems like it'll tie in to the gpq storyline...

Of course we'll get more PQs, its an MMO, if you want solo stuff, console games are probably more up your alley.

[ZottenKerel]

The 169 or 225 avoid, does that mean 169 or 225 acc needed to hit (post-BB), or is it similair to nowm where it would mean about 500acc and 700acc needed to 100% hit.... lol

I don't see a boss...

The mobs have pretty high HP and defense rate post-BB and Neo Tokyo mobs will have like 1 to 3m HP post-BB.

Neither do any of the other 15 or so classes that don't have access to a fire attack.

I like the attacks that the mobs there use. :heart:
And I actually do kind of hope that it's a new guild pq, since the one we have now is getting kind of old.

[Combattente]

This REALLY looks cool. I wonder what it is. Hoping for something related to the Black Magician. Maybe the storyline could be.

But yeah, it looks like a Party Quest to me. But where? Near El Nath, maybe?

This looks like the castle part of the Big Bang trailer starting at 0:31. If it is, then Lionheart Castle is most likely related to the Black Magician and might be an El Nath expansion.

[kirby756]

This looks really cool.

[MetaSeraphim]

hahaha he actually looks a lot like Id. dead eyes.

Well, I didn't think of Id until a little later and mostly thinking of how he looks more awesome badass than the former NPC awesome badass Jack Barricade. But after I thought of it I thought they should give him a line such as this. "That was pretty interesting. But dropping a warship on me is cheating...Take it back!"

We need his hair in the game though. Best male hair I've seen in a while.

[Worthyness]

If another pq is coming, i want a gpq cause the one we have now is just too easy now that my guild is 120+.

Judging by the login screen, it MIGHT be adventurer-only stuff.

Would be interesting if it was.

bahh guild skills are still way more money than i can spare, and for 30 minutes too >.> It took me montsh to gather 1 mil. they could at least lower the renew rate. I don't mind the high purchase rate, but 10 mil for 30 minutes of 110% exp is still sad =(

it's like "please don't be nexon"


it LOOKS good but i think it doesn't

[MetaSeraphim]

He hardly has any height at all compared to some NPC's like T-1337. And I wish people would stop saying things look out of style in maple when it's impossible given all the different styles maple has in it.

______
Resistance set a good trend if they're going to release classes; put it with an actual area in it. But this is ideal. High leveled stuff. Hopefully the story is actually.. good, so to say. Depending on what we actually see, that bright castle shown in the login or a darker (story-wise and physically) castle, like the "badlands" that comprises of the upper el-nath regions.

[shouri]

ITT: the occassional person or so who get overexcited and don't think about what they ask for. (I'm guilty of doing that too every now and then though :f3:)

^ in response to:

High exp, High HP mobs.

High HP mobs wont mean anything to a certain class with a OHKO move. If they stick to mobs with too much exp (that aren't bosses) marksmen would have a field day here. Arans wouldn't work here though since tempest doesn't work on ice resistant mobs.

Let's see... 5(?) second snipe... ~200k exp each snipe. 25 seconds for 1m exp. 1 second for 40,000 exp. so... 2.4m exp a minute... or over 120m exp an hour... on 1x

To survive here all they'd need is <decent> hyperbody. Or an HB mule.

So.... yeah.... asking for these to be normal mobs wouldn't be a good idea.

If they're PQ mobs, then all's good. Or if they aren't from a PQ and they have a boss flag, but have the spawn rate (and drop rate) of normal mobs then all's good.

Each of those mobs have like 5k+ w.att.

They will do that number's worth of damage or lower. Never higher.

Trying to translate all of this stuff... Third NPC (whose function translates to "Article Director") says some pretty intresting things. The second line says something like, "Black Wizard, who gave my soul to the king... Are you ready to take him down?"

It also appears that the castle in question is abandoned. Second NPC's function is listed as "Queen".

[JoeTang]

>Ice Resist

Fuck my life.

[aslemn]

That NPC looks badass, but unless he's a giant, he's too much out of MS graphics. He has like twice the size of a MS character.

[0^2]

Not like the elemental resistances will matter for mages due to elemental reset. All of these mobs resist ice which suggests theyre in a cold region...

[zesdac]

Still, it' would've been fair if they did a couple F/P resistances and a couple I/L resistances.

but why is there no holy weak monsters, absolutely unfair to bishops

[Zacairga]

What's this? Monsters that are somewhat high level? NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE!


but why no holy weak monsters, absolutely unfair to bishops

There also aren't any dagger weak monsters. This is unfair to Shadowers and Dual Blades.

This looks like the castle part of the Big Bang trailer starting at 0:31. If it is, then Lionheart Castle is most likely related to the Black Magician and might be an El Nath expansion.

That castle used background sprites from mushroom castle. Every single piece of animation regarding background were reused (ie. inside the castle is the orbis guildhall)

[HeroDDC]

The Castle Golem looks awesome :heart:

[ChaosCorpse]

This is what I've been waiting for as a Snipe first Marksman... although, they took quite a bit of a jump here I wasn't expecting. Quite frankly, too big of a jump to the point it would be too good to be true for these to be regular spawning mobs without boss tags. Only thing that could make it better would be them spawning on a map like gatekeepers to not get run over by them.

My only hope is that once they see that problem a boss tag is the solution rather than changing snipe again to work with the content (curse you new acc making snipe miss :f4:).

EDIT: Is there anything in the data to determine auto-aggro? If they aren't auto-aggro and have limited spawn, being careful you can snipe train without HB. I suppose being ice resistant would only be a fair set-back to MMs if this truely is the case.

[SwordStaker]

Bishops have an unfair advantage already in this game. About 75&#37; of the monsters are holy weak, why are you complaining?

[Takebacker]

Instead of whining over lack of holy weakness you should be relieved they didn't make them holy resistant or immune.

Bishes keep b'itching over stupid s'hit. >_>

Check spadows blog. The 1.1x exp is 10m for half an hour at max level, and so is the 20 attack buff.

Seriously. Think about all the monsters that are resistant to Darkness, Bishops really have no right to be complaining at all. Makes you wonder why they even bothered with dark element.

On the topic of whatever this castle is, not enough information to be making a judgment yet.

[kremechoko]

This is what I think it is.

The monsters have too high of an HP to be regular mobs.
So they surely are used for a PQ of some sort. I will guess right now that it's a GPQ2 thing or so because of the new KMS login screen having some sort of castle on the left. That and the login screen was meant for the guild skills.
It's all guild related.
Again, this is what I think.

[IllegallySane]

Pffffffffffffffffffffffft. EXP and bonus ATK are now a true meso sink, and the other skills are now loluseless. Way to go kMS for making there no reason to cast any of the minor guild buffs. At the very least the 10&#37; EXP and +20 ATK I can understand should be used only for bossing or to grind on maximum EXP rates.

[Polka]

10&#37; exp isn't worth more than 50k. i've got a bridge to sell anyone who pays that.

[larmie]

10&#37; exp isn't worth more than 50k. i've got a bridge to sell anyone who pays that.

You need half as much EXP post-BB so it's like 20%, on top of 2x card, 1.5x HS and 1.2x family (plus 2x internet cafe, 1.1 monster card and any events), so it's more like 72% exp counting just the first three (126% if you count all six).

for 10m.

discount the internet cafe bonus from gms. the monster card bonus because currently they don't exist and there's no indication they'll ever be back, against the hopes and wishes of many. not everyone has access to hs. and 10m for an extra 10% on top of $2 for a 2x card isn't worth it.

the cost is too high.

[byakugan]

Let's see... 5(?) second snipe... ~200k exp each snipe. 25 seconds for 1m exp. 1 second for 40,000 exp. so... 2.4m exp a minute... or over 120m exp an hour... on 1x

After big bang, snipe does 1 million DMG every 4 seconds. Or it was like that last time i checked.

If it were not for marksmen, I would say that high HP/EXP monsters would be a great system to add to MS that would revive partying with over 3 people once again. I've seen it in other games and its great (In Silk Road they have Regular, Champion and Giant Monsters in all maps)... but ohh marksmen, you and your stupid snipe have to get into the way :f3:

The mobs look awesome. I agree - seems like some sort of PQ. Maybe a dungeon of sorts, or a sequel to Mushroom Castle?

[Xiger]

Yes, possible Mushroom Kindgom expansion? =o

[Fiel]

I don't see why it would take so much revamping to do it.

Much of the data that was included in the monsterbook was fully dynamic with mob.wz. The drop tables can be pulled out with a simple query. Considering the complexity of the UI that they use even for basic events, I don't think creating a MB UI would be too bad. The time intensive thing would be to change all of the ETC stuff to have the correct levels. The lore can largely stay the same as well.

So what is it about Monsterbook that would take so long? I'm not seeing it.

Well there is also the possibility they're changing it from the ground up like they did the whole game, plus if the Black Mage screwed everything up, SOME but not all of the lore could change a little.

[Fiel]

Regardless of how much current events change, George Washington still chopped down the cherry tree.

So your argument is based upon the fact that they'll change this from the ground up? Perhaps. I really can't deny your point because I don't know. But this should not take long.

[Kalovale]

That NPC looks badass, but unless he's a giant, he's too much out of MS graphics. He has like twice the size of a MS character.

How is this a problem at all? Grendel is twice the size of my fucking grandpa. Personally, I hope this is some sort of Mushroom Kingdom or GPQ expansion, but the number of new NPCs seems too small for either.

Well I don't know, thats just my assumption =\ I guess I can agree that it's taking longer than usual, but why put so much effort into it then just take it out. I don't think it's gone but..it'll come back I can almost promise that, sooner or later it will.

I keep saying that about Masteria..but hey on the bright side of that note, the years not over yet and they seem to do one expansion a year?

[Hazzy]

So right after they expand high level mobs, they go back to making mobs for the 120ish range? .__.
Temple of Time revolves around lv 120 weapons; the mobs there shouldn't extend much from that range.

[Combattente]

If they really are normal mobs and spawn like normal mobs, this is going to be Marksmen's heaven. But something tells me that they aren't.

Anyways, the new guild skill prices are ridiculous. 250m to buy the skill and 10m to renew it, for 10&#37; EXP? Does it stack with Family and 2x EXP? IF and only IF it does, I might accept those prices as "almost reasonable". If it doesn't, they totally aren't.

And sorry, but even after reading Spadow's blog, I still don't understand. You pay 200k, 1.6m, 54m, etc. just to raise the skill level (and everyone in the guild will have that skill with that level), or to CAST it? If it's to cast it, does every one in the guild get the skill? Else, what's the price to cast it? The renewal price, that should be kind of clear: it's to renew the buff and make it last longer. But 250m just to CAST seems a bit too much.

There are no more family 2x buffs. There are only self 1.2x EXP/drop, one for 15 minutes, and the other for 30 minutes.

[PirateIzzy]

Do 2x cards still give 2x exp, or was that changed to 1.5x too?
Or does KMS not have them?

Oh, right, sorry. Forgot about that. Still, that doesn't answer my question.

Also, I heard there were a 1.5x buff and a 1.2x one, not just a 1.2x one. Is that true?

[shouri]

1.5x is for family bonding. meaning you and the 6 people directly below you need to simultaneously be on.

[IImaplers]

Yay for fire-weak mobs. If this is in El Nath, then it certainly makes sense that most of them are fire-weak.

[larmie]

I wonder if Lionheart and Crimsonheart are brothers...

Doubtful since Crimsonheart is called Crimson n JMS CWK (version w/o Masteria) and KMS has the same.

Since CWK is connected via Aqua Road it is plausible CWK is somewhere in El Nath (in KMS and JMS). Masteria might be put to death soon to keep continuity.

Masteria devs should be treated as Gods for bringing Olivia into the game. Maplestory is now DIAMONDS (in October)

Bishops have an unfair advantage already in this game. About 75&#37; of the monsters are holy weak, why are you complaining?

I don't think so. As you can see on one of the web page of the KMS official website : http://maple.inven.co.kr/dataninfo/monster/list.php?minlevel=121
The proportion of the monsters with different properties scattered around Maple Story is almost the same.
In Taiwanese Maple Story (TMS) in which I am playing now, there are fire/poison/ice/lightning elemental staffs. When you arm yourself with a fire elemental staff, your fire elemental magic damage will be multiplied by 125% and your poison elemental magic damage will be multiplied by 110% , the same with other elemental staffs.
Speaking of the skills, the range of Angel's Ray is pitifully short and the speed is pitifully slow compared with Chain Lightning and Paralyze, and more importantly, Bishops don't have Magic Boost (raising attack speed by 2 levels) and Amplification (multiplying elemental magic damage by 150% only with the consumption of 160% MP) , geez, I have no idea how Bishops will struggle to survive in such a critical situation after Big Bang.

Hopefully you guys can understand what I typed above coz' my mother tongue is not English but Taiwanese and Chinese.

a comment from before mentioned that the same castle was in the big bang video at 0:34, thing is that castle is indeed mushroom kingdom. the same flag is being displayed at the new menu screen with all the explorers on it, just gotta look close enough. this might further prove that its a mush kingdom expansion.

[aslemn]

Well... They've used that castle in both Big Bang trailer and the actual login screen. Or they're just too lazy to design a new area, or this is just an expansion for Mushroom Castle.
I'll stick with the first option tho.

Angel Ray has the same range as Paralyze, Booster only increases attack speed by 1 level, you have higher base attack on your skills to partially account for Amp, and you have a 55% base crit rate. Bishops are supposed to be weaker because they play a support role. HS, Heal, and Res are skills I'd love to have. Also, you're not that much weaker.

Masteria is nowhere near Elnath, it takes one minute travel time to get there from kerning, it's obviously just off the coast near victoria/kerning.

Then there is the small part about the entire continent of Masteria being risen from the sea by the mayor... JMS just pineappleed it up, and shouldn't even be in consideration for the continuity of the place. Just like Neo city isn't the *real* thing, neo tokyo is...

No, the correct information is that Magic Boost really raises attack speed by 2 levels no matter the skill is at which level.
Not only what I have mentioned before, lots of I/L and F/P Archmage's skills are attached with damage over time (DoT), additionally, it is effective to bosses and each every different Dot (including Dot of each every poison and ice elemental skills) can exist together to one monster. It is another big blow to Bishops.
You said a Bishop is supposed to help others, but do you know that no one has obligation to help others without any feedback. It feels very bad like we Bishops are just slaves.

Why is there always someone complaining about Bishops not being on par with a Damage dealing class in terms of DPS?

If you dont like a supportive role of a Bishop and want more DPS, here's an idea, make an Archmage. Bishops will never die and will always be wanted in parties, and come with training speeds on par with the other magicians. Not to mention high survivability and still rather decent DPS for such an supportive class. It highly depends on your equipment these days anyways, a well-funded Bishop could easily out damage a Corsair, let alone an lolArchmage.

I believe China MS also has nerfed CWK (I was wrong about KMS; KMS doesn't have it at all). I doubt Neo Tokyo will fit in with the rest of the versions though; the cities Odaiba, Akihabara, Shibuya and Roppongi is maybe known by japanophiles. I doubt BMS or EMS would know where they are. I suppose versions that implement their own content and ties it in with the main storyline are screwed.

[Kalemora]

Placing my bets on it being the castle in El Nath with those elemental resistances and weaknesses. Hope it turns out to be something fun.

[Draego]

Officially the most badass NPC in all of MapleStory.

Your Avatar and that seems to have a big resemblance. :f2:

[larmie]

Because a localized version has never altered KMS's content to fit their own needs...

Oh wait a minute, JMS Kerning Square/Evan/DB...

I just noticed your post: Kerning Square is Taipei 101. It's called KS in every version but TMS to avoid political conflict (as if that's a legit. concern in a kids' video game :/)

Evan and Dual Blade has been significantly altered and I'm concerned if Nexon Japan can keep up with further story dev on its own.

[IsaacGS]

*sigh*

I was listing those as examples of how Content that was "mainstream" (IE first released in KMS) has been previously adapted to the version rather than just taken as they are. I *know* that KMS based Kerning Square off Taipei 101, but the plotline of Kerning Square's quests and of Taipei 101, the monster levels, how it's reached, even what monsters are there (Claw machines from Ximending randomly being added in there). It has nothing to do with "political conflicts" or anything. They (KMS) changed it around the same way they changed around Neo Tokyo into Neo City, the same way they took Singapore's shredded remains and sewed it back together into the Ghost Ship PQ. Yes they're based on version-exclusives, but trying to say Kerning Square is the same thing as Taipei 101 is like saying that JMS Crimsonwood is the same as GMS's. It's the same pieces, but it's put together in a different way.

As for what I was ACTUALLY referring to there by mentioning Kerning Square, it was that the questline in JMS's Kerning Square is radically different from the one in KMS et al. Just look: http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=26945&highlight=Kerning+Square. I think that thread explains it enough for my point to be obvious now.

[Erich]

The reason for that might be JMS has all of formosa BUT taipei 101; taipei 101 can still be released. There can be overlapping mobs, as kerning square did prove, because kerning square ripped off a bit of night market's mobs to do this. The Fomorsa dogs are also tutorial monsters in the JMS evan.

TL;DR: Mobs can have more then one incarnation. NPCs cannot.

Fiel or anyone who can answer, could I bother you with this question that a bunch of Taiwan Maple Story players would like to know? thanks a lot.

Q: Is there still any different formula for double/triple throw after Big Bang ?
(After Big Bang, normally the basic Max damage formula for Night Lords is 1.75&#215;( LUK&#215;4 +DEX ) &#215; WATK &#247;100 and the basic Min damage is the result &#215; their mastery percentage.)

[Fiel]

No, there is no different formula for double/triple throw. It uses a multiplier from the standard damage formula.

L7/TT are calculated like every other attack after BB. Damage range * skill &#37;.
