-----

Donald is now the new Parcel Delivery handyman. This NPC replaced Duey in all of the maps and the UI.
A few skills were changed:
Dawn Warrior - Brandish now starts off as invisible
Battlemage - Body Boost now requires level 10 in all of the (hidden) Body Boost skills. Yeah, I don't get it either. I think Body Boost is going to be glitched. Just FYI, KMST does not list the same skill requirement.
The following mobs had their stats changed: Wild Monkey, Mama Monkey, White Baby Monkey, White Mama Monkey, Blue Goblin, Red Goblin, Strong Stone Goblin, Ravana

Does the United States even have Internet Cafes?

I hear there are some in cities like New York (unconfirmed), but most places around the US would be f'ucked if Nexon America decided to open up the Net Cafe feature.

I don't think these things will even be put to use... If they will be, Nexon will probably open up Golden Temple for a short time again. That's unlikely, though.

Brandish > Driver for bossing.

at fast(4), 2 brandishes takes 1500ms and 1 driver takes 1440ms.

there arent any good bosses until zak at 110. driver > brandish on arms. the dps boost provided by FA is marginalized by driver's sick ability to clear spawned mobs, which any group would be grateful for because 20-30 man zak runs are a thing of the past and SOMEONE has to do the dirty work while everyone else spams their ridiculous single target skills.
at 120, there is pap. your KoC may as well be a crack mule.
in cwkpq, brandish can do an average 3037.5% in 2 hits, while driver can do 3000% in 1. driver wins marginally, since its a hair faster.
for pianus, you have a case because its a single target and FA does more than just play catch up.

did i miss any? you cant hit scar/targa, anego, ht, pb, grandpa, or toad, and most minibosses die too fast for you to care anyways.

why would you do anything besides train on a 10x-120 cygnus anyways? its like game over. play something with higher level end game content instead. its a mini echo mule at best right now, and a 24 att mule in the future.

1. Have you bossed at 120? SMs are decent at Pap (and I make a slight profit off of it even if nothing notable drops).
2. Debuffs = Brandish charges Combo faster. Pap and Pianus' debuffs mean that to charge combo up again, you have to hope for 5-8 Drivers before it debuffs again. Brandish is faster.
3. I've only been waiting for Mechanic and UA. Now that one of them has come out I'm switching out.

Who honestly cares about profit from minor bosses that are so out of the way from where you would be training anyway?


Pap? Done at 120.

Semantics. Done after hitting 120 is the same exact thing as done at 120, and as it's already been said, you might as well be a crack mule. No one paps for any reason other than exp.

modular
2011-01-18, 11:29 PM
if i was gonna do either pap or pianus, i wouldnt do it on my dw since i have a hero. i use my dw as a crack mule because there are better uses for a crack than a character that cant gain exp. you can probably even make more money farming cracks than using them on your dw.

even if my dw was my highest character, id just use him to help train another character up to a useful level. without serious amounts of content directed at characters with maxed levels, its pointless for them to be anything more than mules.

But it requires those damn tickets


In a small server that for some fking reason I don't know of has total of 20 channels.


It'll be fine if you can get a free pass at least once per day. For me, I dont care to play maple for more than 30 minutes per day anyway since there has been no interesting content for the past half year (filler + disapointing BB + uninteresting new classes that dont give a promised ring + demotivating removal of VPQ + demotivating removal of elemental bonuses + excessive bullshitting from Nexon and Hime whom the Native Americans call Shitting Bull).

For Pianus, I cant even find one on a sever with 19 channels.

I find it kind of dumb that they re-locked Brandish. Yes, i know, from 70-100 you dont even use it anyway, but Crusaders get brandish at 70 now and i thought that was actually a new change for DW because of that. Just seems more logical to get it at 70 now. Oh well.

Actually, it makes even more sense to get rid of Brandish altogether and give DW Intrepid Slash at 100.

No worries gaiz! for the small small privce of 5k NX the NPC can deliver your items FOR NO TAX! That's right! NO MESOS SUBTRACTED AT ALL! AND better yet, INSTANT DELIVERY.

Yea, I agree. People jump to conclusions. Seems it has another function entirely:

Donald is an NPC that will be used for specific, official communications from Nexon. He is in most towns.

Liking Brandish's relocking, though it doesn't matter because I'm already 120.

Ravana? Do not want until UA.

It also doesn't matter, because Soul Driver is OP as hell. It's the only skill you'll ever need until level 120, once it's maxed out.


I do. Call me an idiot because I care for small amounts of profit, or don't give a damn about experience.

You're already max level, your argument is moot.


I have also never said anything about Brandish totally beating Soul Driver. Get your panties in a knot, k?

Might be a combination.
I seem to remember someone's sig having a screenshot of money they got from a GM via Duey (because they'd been hacked).
So I guess if Nexon wants to give you an in-game item or money they need a delivery NPC. (What? Having a GM log in to trade? Too hard.)
We might not be able to use Donald to send items from player to player, it's Official Use Only.
Seems idiotic to have an NPC in every town just for this, when they so rarely give anyone anything, but considering we already have Maple Admin for regular communication with Nexon, it sure sounds like Donald is for single-player-directed communication ("specific", as they put it).

With as many people complaining about the missing resistance rings and guessing about Donald's "specific" functions, I'm surprised no one has put the two together. I mean there's no guarantee, but my guess is that his first delivery will be our shiny new rings. :glitter:

Heh...that was what I was hoping for too, but I stated it in a different thread. Still, I cannot see why an existing NPC couldn't dole them out, Cassandra always seems good for these things or even as some others have said, the oft unused Maple Administrator.

Body Boost works still. It's grey'd out however, but you can still click and drag the icon from the skill list.

It seems they put the wrong Skill ID for required skill when creating/modifying it.

Body Boost still works even if one of the Basic Auras aren't maxed, so that rules out requiring all 3 of them to be level 10+, for now at least.

Lets say: Dark Aura 20, Yellow Aura 20, Blue Aura 3
Body Boost Dark and Yellow Aura work still, Blue Aura however won't.

Wasn't that only because Galicia took such a long time to come out and I'm obviously not counting Dementos as a catalyst for Yellonde becoming non-New. Then again, feel free to correct me, I don't know when any of the servers came out. For you, MTS NX making is crap, for others it is quite a successful NX generator, I wish it didn't require me to logout of Galicia for me to engage in it.

It is guessed at that in the copypasta of BB, Nexon removed elemental bonuses from the weapons only because KMS does not have them or the data. It is also guessed at that stating the changes were intentional only occurred because it was the easiest response to make. Reinstatement of the bonuses or not, compensation was promised and they seemingly reneged on it (with a month passed and the thread closed).

We also have the issue of not receiving our promised compensation.

It's common for an MMO company to tell a lie such as, ''We'll look into the 'issue''', but they never do because the only issue is the fact that the players can't accept that the ''issue'' is intentional. They said it most likely just to try and get people to just shut up about it.

Your logic is flawed.
If someone takes something of yours and then says they'll give you something to make up for it do you let it go if you never get your compensation or do you now have two reasons to be upset with them?

Obviously I have two reasons to be upset. They stole from the players and lied about compensation, and of course I wont let go of the issue untill I quit playing MS. I worked hard on my character and his equipment, and I'm going to fight to get back what I paid for.

Then about the only thing to try to get some response from them would to be bombard the twitter and facebook with requests for a status update on the compensation.
The good thing about that is they can't readily ignore it, and being public the more people who see it and chime in the more un-ignorable it becomes.

Abusing a 3rd party site sounds like a good idea, but bombarding them might not be the best course of action. Just making sure that there is at least one Ewand comment on the front page at all times should work.

And it looks like they continue to ignore the issue: http://forum.nexon.net/MapleStory/forums/thread/6619658.aspx

Even every thousandth user sending a message could be considered a bombardment depending on the timing.
