Will you guys be happy to get old Masteria back even if nexon doesn't rebalance it? BF, HH, and CWKPQ were nice things back then, but with all the revamps, nothing there is going to be challenging at all. I'd like at least a normal or hard mode for CWKPQ.
At this point, people would settle for the old NLC, no strings attached than for Nexon to even touch it yet again.

Well, at least they acknowledged that the game is way too pay2win and that the fm economy has gone way out of control. I like how they said that raising the meso cap would just increase the problem, not solve it, and glad they know that transfers of real world money for equips worth over 10 bil happen too much.
Still don't see how they can fix that though.
Auction House huh, we'll see how that goes.
I really hate their answer for cubes though. "Hey guys we took out the occult cube that dropped almost everytime to a cube that drops 1 out of 10 times because its better for everyone! Also we gave you access to cube crafting in which no sane person would actually attempt to create in mass! See how much less p2w this is now!"
No nexon that isn't less pay to win. Using the mass occult cubes you get to tier up your gear to epic or at least getting 3% stat on all your armor was less pay to win than having a cube that rarely drops but can be used on anything. Their reasoning for this makes me have no faith for their ideas of makin the game less pay to win...

Not to mention their claims that additional options were removed due to "balance issues" when additional options honestly help EVERYONE get more damage for free.
A Better Maple - ZeekFox - 2013-12-11
Yeah, I can see the BS called on the tradeblock stuff and "why isn't cash shop permanent" answers. The perm issue is easily solved by leaving one character slot open, then transferring unwanted items to that character and deleting them. And making things fully account tradeable and with meso-priced locks to prevent selling or trading to other accounts fixes the first issue.
Other answer are alright. I actually am surprisingly reassured with some of the "we'll look into this" type stuff, because while in the past that meant nothing, things actually have been going in the direction of relieving the pay2win woes, especially since some of the asked about stuff is already in future KMS updates that we'll get.
I'd like to remind Nexon that it wasn't Additional Options that was imbalanced. It was Miraculous Equip Enhancement. And really, if they do look into it, maybe they'll give us a version without the scissor count stuff that drew the biggest drawback about it. Because the rest of it...flames, items already having it, etc, was received very well.

Wasn't the issue with Additional Options that you'd get significantly less Options on gear that existed before the additional option patch? Thus making players have to re-create their perfected gear?

Yes that's exactly what it's for.
Quote:Why can't non-NX items be shared across all characters in an account? Why are so many items untradeable or tradeable only with a Sharing Tag or Scissors of Karma? If I earned an item, I think I should be allowed to trade it between characters on my account.
Rare items are not tradable so as to keep the game balanced. Also, trade is limited to prevent hacks or accidental trades. While we understand this may be frustrating, this system was designed to keep your rare items safe.
God damn what a load of bullpomegranate. I can't believe they expect us to believe it. Worst of all it doesn't even answer the question that was actually asked.
Quote: The overly-high EXP of these monsters was a bug. As this went unnoticed for so long, many players unfortunately began to believe that this was a normal part of the game. Because of this, many players would farm EXP in Masteria, attaining high levels without exploring the rest of MapleStory's worlds and in-game systems. This caused a division in the community, and we received many complaints about it. All of this resulted in the bugged EXP being fixed."It was a bug".
Yeah sure.
Quote:The truth is, if you look at the stats, Soul Weapons aren't particularly good. If enough players want the Soul Weapon system we will consider putting it back in, but keep in mind it will make the weapon tool tip even longer. We want to make sure this isn't too great of an inconvenience to the player community.nnnn...yeah the weapon tooltips thing has become a bit of a problem. There definitely needs to be some kind of reworking on that system somehow.
Quote:The version of Masteria from before the 2012 revamp will be put back into the game sometime early next year.Hm. I wonder as to what extent they will be doing this. There's a few fixes that would need to be applied with regards to certain things, especially flying mounts and teleportation skills sort of ruining the whole point of the design of some areas.
Quote:Big Bang came about directly from player feedback over the course of MapleStory's first few yearswait seriously? Or are we using different interpretations of "first few years" here?
Quote: Why did you change Victoria Island so much in Big Bang? For example, most of the hidden areas were removed and the maps are smaller and simpler now.oh sure that's fine, but what about the hidden areas elsewhere? Why are new maps for higher level content designed in a similar way (cramped, simplistic, flat, uninspired, no secret stuff)?
From an additional perspective, since Victoria Island is a low-level area, its more complicated map designs and map flow were considered too cumbersome after the Big Bang update. Big Bang allowed players to level up faster, and thus exploring the vast expanse of Victoria Island would have become even more frustrating. For quite some time before the Big Bang update, many long-time players were already almost exclusively using taxis and town return scrolls to avoid the hassle of moving around Victoria Island. Also, as Maple World expanded with new regions and content outside of Victoria Island, it became necessary not to bottleneck players and slow their progression so early in the game.

Is this not what flames are for? I know they can re-roll stats, but can't they also give stats to items that don't have them? Honestly, just give us AO with no scissor count or no trade-block. Is Nexon high 24/7?

Well yeah that's their intended purpose but I don't remember if it was from Spadow or Max or some other KMS player but the AO for items that were from before the patch had less additional options than an item generated from drops in the patch. Maybe someone from MapleSEA/KMS/(ems?) can properly define this?
A Better Maple - iamflip - 2013-12-11
Hmm... I know much of these have already been mentioned, but here's a few that caught my eye...
Quote:[Items] Why don’t pets automatically come with certain skills, like in some other MS services?
Quote:Dorothy / ProgrammingSay what now? Are we getting pet skills?
Pet skills in GMS are listed as equipment items so that you can equip any skills to any pet. However, expect a fix to your issue sometime early next year.
Quote:[Items] Why aren't all pets permanent?
Quote:Anna / Team LeaderWHAT? Now this I'd want to see.
We will consider making all pets permanent.
Quote:[Server] Can you add a Supreme mode, like EMS and JMS have? This seems like it would be a good way to please players who want more of a challenge.
Quote:Anna / Team LeaderEh... are you guys sure about this?
We will consider it.
Last but not least...
Quote:[Systems/ Options] The word filter is way too strict. In addition to making the filter less strict, can you either have a toggle option to turn it on or off on my own client, or improve the system so it doesn't censor parts of normal words?
Quote:Anna / Team LeaderIt has been updated? It still seems pretty strict to me...
The word filter has been updated in the RED update, and we are working to make it even better in the future.

Untradeable chairs are also stupid. I'd understand being only able to trade through my account but not at all...?

I agree with this, 100%. I wouldn't even mind if they upped the cost of the sharing tag if they allowed it to be applied to all items. I would pay $10 to be able to trade any of my adventurer rings to my other characters.

That's not a bad idea. I think Sharing Tags for account share-able items should be able to be purchased with mesos, so that limitations are still in place, but you just need to spend a little in-game money to share items. You still feel the restrictions so you won't want to share items all the time, but you aren't COMPLETELY reliant on buying a crap-ton of NX.
A Better Maple - LegendGospel - 2013-12-11
I totally get things like Empress stuff being untradeable on equip. Still, they're untradeable ON EQUIP. Scissors are a fine business.
Yet it's stupid to have completely untradeable items (even within account), such as Zakum Helmets. Come on, who cares anymore? You can get a Zakum helmet at level 50 soloing crumbling Zakum. No one is scared of losing it for it to be untradeable. There are many outdated things like that.
Also, saying they won't release permanent CS clothes because it would clog up our inventory? Seriously? Well, you better stop releasing new quests, content, equips, coin shops, and whatnot, they clog up our inventory! Please stop updating the game!.
BS.

CS equips clogging inventory?
Good solution: Add a way to remove unwanted equips
Nexon solution: Make all CS equips temporary
A Better Maple - Mandalay - 2013-12-12
Come to think of it...How come no one thought to ask what their plans to skirt real world money trades for items and mesos are? The questions regarding hacking are not specific enough...just umbrella terms.
Obviously, banning the hackers farming mesos is not working well so shouldn't the better approach be to indirectly screw meso sellers over by banning their very customers? Directly punish players, indirectly punish sellers, and screw over their shady business this way.
I'm no expert but it baffles me.

We didn't ask because everyone knows the problem. Nexon has recognized that problem over and over, and we know they're against it. Whatever strategies/methods/etc they decide to employ isn't really relevant as community news. Some of the umbrella hacking questions are likewise fairly irrelevant (see the scores on them?), but somehow the population who doesn't know how that there isn't a magic "ban the hackers, don't touch the legits" button exists in enough numbers to get those questions up there.

Funny thing is they did both though.
A Better Maple - Daakun - 2013-12-12
So, I think they had "Anna / Team Leader" handle all the questions they didn't have answers for or didn't want to answer.
Edit: Also, on the subject of nebulite boxes, I'm calling it now; the shop will be useless.
lolololol alien coins.
A Better Maple - Prism - 2013-12-12
If they do make pets permanent I hope they bring back some of the packages.
I should have bought that Angel Pet Package when I had the chance.
