Stereo Wrote:The Quest Specialist medal does count multi-part quests and people still only see totals around 1000, maybe 1100 by now. I find it hard to believe that 75% of the quests are event things.

Say what? Faster levelling makes one *miss* content.

Rob Wrote:I find it kinda lame you guys only demonstrate hate for this. Back in 2006 and now, after four years, the game has changed and grown a lot. Makes sense they really show a bit of interest on MapleStory. Hell, it's Nexon cash cow.

Game is sometimes unplayable, glitchy and upsetting, to say the least, but a really nice game overall.

DustBunny Wrote:There are legitimate problems with nexon. But frankly the community is so focused on such fickle things, and expect so much not understanding Nexon really isn't entitled to give anything. The biggest complaint I read from 2008 and onward is "omgggg beta was betterrrr, no one cared about damage@@".

Legitimate changes that need to be made:

Vista compability
Less NX dependense(I mean cubes/cards/smega's bring in a lot of revenue, they should find ways to expand the length of how far you can go nx-less)
More minidungeons in high populated places
Megaphone muter
A way to stop DC hack/Packet editing all together (though probably not possible)

Rob Wrote:Well of course, I totally concur acknowledging those problems.

- W7/Vista compatibility is just something the game needs to be on par with today's technologies.
- As far as NX goes... I've played for 3 years on and off and haven't ever had a single NX point. It's slow, sometimes frustrating because you see people rushing levels and equipment just at your side, but oh well, what can you do?
- Smegas muter, what's the point of having them to Nexon if you can mute them. I know, they suck, they even lag me, but there would be no point in them if you could mute them.
- Minidungeons I think will come with time.
- DC Hacking and Packet editing is something more deep that should really be taken care of. No matter how.

DustBunny Wrote:Oh you misunderstood me, the first part was simply agreeing with you, under the circumstances there were problems. The last part were obviously problems that they need to address, not to correct you.

But as you brought up, I agree it's totally possible to do as such. The problem is the dependence makes it a common situation where you need it, and you need to work for it. I don't believe such dependence should be as much as it is now. But as you said, what can you do? Just ask for it! lol

Rob Wrote:Oh, sorry. Got you the other way round.

Anyway, yeah, if you wanted to take advantage of the possibilities NX gives you, such as cubing, 2x, Gach and some others, yeah, the game becomes NX heavy, and once you get those you have problems living without them. Point is, F2P, P2Enjoy at its fullest. Sadly.

It's good for some other games though. DFO isn't NX heavy as MapleStory is.

Judgment Wrote:I feel tempted to talk about the change in hacking from then and now.

Back then... Oh there's the occasional show-off fly/speed hacker in towns, and those silly vac hackers, some which are stupid enough to do it in public places...

Now... The dreaded 900+ attack Stonetooth, account hacking at an alarming rate like AsiaSoft's versions are getting, D/C hacks, item duping...

Seems to me that I'd probably take the fly hackers and vac hacking over today's hacking.

rayhovite Wrote:Noone can deny Maplestory has grown a lot in the past years. The question is.... has it grown enough? Will it grow enough? You have other free to play MMOs that are starting to really stand out and receive such high production values that it sort of takes away the magic of Maplestory. Lord of the Rings Online is one fine example. Granted some of us have invested in this game too much to really enjoy breaking off into yet another MMO, what can you say compels one to stick to MS and not go into bigger MMOs which are supplemented?

There is no question Maplestory will need a much bigger development team in the years to come, and much higher production values. Reading that blog gives you a vibe of "we did great with the small team and few resources we had". That's great and all, but it doesn't seem sustainable. The game is starting to show its age. At least support scalable graphics, dudes.

DustBunny Wrote:Maplestory has one thing no mmorprg has been able too or risked doing, that is doing a "charming" graphic design. It's colorful, eye-appealing, and easy to play. That's a lot of reasons I like maplestory. I would probably quit if they changed the graphics to something like world of warcraft or such.
