[Update] v.157 - Shining Star Update Notes

[SaptaZapta]

Not sure I like the Star Force requirements to train in certain areas.
Most of my mules wear clean gear. If I now have to spend spell traces to use up their equip slots, and meso to enhance it...
Although I suppose it'll also stop bots from farming in those areas, so maybe that's good?

Anyone know exact amount of + stat we get for level specific gear i know in some videos i remember seeing some +3 / +4 / +5 so im guessing its 130/140/150 or ? Do some also give attack?

What sucks more is that starstruck mobs replace the existing mobs, instead of just creating separate maps for star force mobs.

It sucks when Nexon has to work around botters. Ruins so much good potential.

I like the change to Evo World, it's not stay here for 30 minutes and fall asleep anymore.

I don't like that they've just reduced the total time you can train there from 2.5 hours to 45 minutes a day. Way to kill content.
(Also going to take a lot longer to farm enough coins for an Empress core, unless the prices have changed.)
Combined with the Star Force requirement to train at most 100+ areas, this makes leveling link-skill mules that much harder.
We will see.

That being the case, you can still mpe, r&J, and kill regular zakum (or at least the arms) at level 100 for exp.

MPE is limited to 3 times a day, Zakum 2, and R&J is... are they really trying to drive people to grind in a PQ?
Yeah, it's still possible to level, I just don't like it when the options are reduced.

With winter coming soon, the music for the login and world select screens has been updated..

Current one is Title2010Winter, so that's already appropria-

.. to El Nath's background music.

WAT

[TidusLoveYuna]

are u fking kidding me typical nexon nerfing the rates for superior items to 4 stars.... before it has a chance to explode, great i thought i could get 7-8 stars based on the kms table.

THX NEXON

[ShinkuDragon]

thanks glorious nexon for the glorious rates on gear, i'm sure the next time an overpowered boss comes it won't be nerfed for GMS "because we didn't get MME's"

[Green4Ever]

All these people complaining about Superior items seem to have forgotten how much of a massive stat boost they'll gain from enhancing every other piece of gear, and at hardly any cost at all. Just be happy Nexon didn't decide to exclude Star Force like they did Additional Options (which would've been a lesser stat boost than Star Force, I think).

This + the fact that we have huge advantages over KMS already since we have the crusader codex, Gollux set effects (them stats/attack from equipment is delicious as well) and not to forget the Nebulite system.
Just from that we have 80% boss, 60% IED and lots of +attack/stat in our favour (ruling out kanna/hayato/beast tamer link/card since not everyone is dedicated enough to train them)

it sounds like you're looking for game balance..

on maplestory :;D

[TheBlackMage]

Those pink medals are beautiful and have pretty good stats (even though most people just have the ugly kirito medal by now)
L>One it would fit with my damage skin, god damn it kms why we never have nice things like that?!

And they were pretty late with the nutshop considering the fact Eunwol came out 6 months ago or so (and the shop has his black 2ndary )
gotta fit to the season i guess

Hurricane: Move to 4th job, maxLevel 30, Percentage damage 350%.

What? Hurricane is 300% in KMS. Did they make a typo, or are BMs going to be even more powerful than we thought they were going to be?

[kimicatdemon]

FINALLY. AFTER WAITING FOR A YEAR. IT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.

It's a typo. In the data, it's 300% at max

[Worthyness]

Does star force destroy items at every tier level? I think I remember it not being able to destroy items at less than 10 stars? I can't exactly afford to get another empress weapon, so if it explodes, I basically don't have a weapon ever again, but I don't want it to be stuck at only 5 stars.
