RED update thoughts and feedback

[Pearly]

I thoroughly enjoy Mesoranger DDR. Does anyone know what the reward for defeating the enemy is? My team never seems to be able to defeat it, I can get S in Hard mode while my entire team gets B's in Easy mode. Also, would an SS at a lower difficulty equate to more damage with the FEVER and FEVER X 2!!!? Maybe I am the one hampering our success, but I feel the bar charges faster at harder difficulties maybe with more keystrokes.

In case anyone is dissuaded by the challenge, let me dangle untimed no-boom 50% Chaos Scroll of Goodness at you. I can confirm they come from the boxes.

It is a shame this will be gone after today, at least temporarily.

Oh it's this game. Lol. Msea got it before.

You can only beat the robot if most players in the team do well. If there are bad players or those who afk through the whole game (yes they will still get B rank and reward boxes for doing nothing -_-), entire team will fail in killing him. Game difficulty that you choose does not affect whether the robot will die faster. It just depends on how good the team is.

Im not sure about the reward system in gms version, but here, you get more event coins if you do hard mode, but more reward boxes in normal mode. People who aimed for chaos goodness like me just spam normal mode and aimed for SS rank. People who want more event coins kept doing hard mode and aim for SS. As for defeating the robot, the whole team is awarded with 1 extra box.

Anyway, I didnt really care about defeating the robot anymore after many rounds of encountering afk lazy players -_- I just did my best to get SS for more boxes for myself.

Just an FYI for those not in the know...

Blue Livyatan seals a lot. As in I got sealed 14 times and spent over half the timer waiting to unseal.

Bring all cures.

If there was a RED update where they wouldn't have to do this server maintenance again and again, it would be so great.

Funny, I've only been sealed once or twice by him in 16 trips. Helps to have 75% Status Resist and carrying 200 All Cures at all times.

You mean the standard weekly server maintenance?

[Stereo]

I'm sure I used to be able to buy All Cures from Alcaster but at some point the quest got reset, so I'm being stingy with them :P I usually carry darkness-cures cause of the Sirens.

Woo Dark Knight utter lack of resistance >_> I think I have ~25%?

This used up quite a few of my Zero's all cures the first time I fought him. Then I just dashed to the bottom right corner where the sealing move can't hit you But that's probably the reason he is supposed to be harder than regular, his time limit is much longer so its actually not as bad. I still find him easier than regular livy

[Stereo]

Yeah, with all cures in hand, it took me about half the timer to kill it, whereas regular Livy still takes 90% of the time given.

Too bad my Dark Knight can't jump down and hit it all teh time. Would definitely help not to miss 1/5 of attacks.

Easy to search for and has the exact thread you want. If you can't see the search terms I used, they are "sweetwater" and "drop". Simple, no?

It wasn't even a 'random maintenance post', either. There was one maintenance that affected the drop rate of Sweetwater equipment (and look, it shows up third on the search, after this thread!)

We have a search function. For a question like that that is bound to have been asked before, one really should be using the search function instead of asking the same question over and over.

Dude really? Almost every post on page 66 pertains to this specific topic. This IS the right thread. Stop being an ***.

75% as an Archmage with base 20%? How do.

[MMan]

Figure I may as well post this here, the compensation for being hellbanned is honestly not bad at all, 1000 red coins, 800 yellow + blue new years coins, 3 tradeable CoGs, 3 50% golden hammers, 70 premium trait boost potion for each trait, 600 power elixers, new years complete bit set, 100 commerci denaros. I think that was everything.

That's actually very good! Way more than anyone probably would've collected in that time.

[Tigeon]

Yea it was nice.

Kinda sucks though that my main maxed out almost everything decent in red shop already, and the only stuff i really need with red coins badly are 50% epic pots! But hey, 1k of red coins is still great, ill just scroll hearts or buy cubes.

Hopefully, next week's patch resets RED shop. I should've grabbed one stack of the 500 on a different char to buy more icogs, but too late now.

Yea i almost did the same thing. I was like "yay 1k red coins! Lets just accept this on my mai..WAIT WAIT" -goes to check red shop, see everyhing is bought out "Allrigh then lets go to the mules!"

20% as a passive effect of the 3rd job shield skill
20% from Ice Aura hyper
20% from max Willpower
15% from Lv6 Cygnus Link

Man did I overlook that Hyper. F/Ps technically have the lowest status resist out of the 3 Mage types.

Our status shield is kinda ehh too Though if the boss doesnt fling aliments at you I suppose it can be pretty good also if you die while the shield is up from 1 on its rercreation to 5 you get to recast without cd

So I think Zero is a cool class and have rather enjoyed playing him at times, but I have an enormous problem with how they came up with the system to level him. I really like the idea of dungeons that assist you in leveling, but I despise the fact that a) I am cut off from the rest of the general pop. in the normal maple world and b) that Nexon decided to not give enough quests to keep your exp/hr at a decent rate unless you buy a quest booster.

I really can't remember the last time I've been this livid at something maple related. The whole idea that if you do not purchase a quest booster that you are just stuck in an endless grind, alone in these badly designed dungeons for hour after hour is absolutely retarded. It is so ridiculously pay-to-winnot-kill-yourself that unless I get a quest booster, I am having to spend an entire level grinding alone without complementary quests for hours on end. It's not even that I'm too cheap or poor to get one either. For f'ucks sake, forget 2.5k a piece for ten days, at this point I'd pay 5k for one that lasted 24 hours. But no Nexon, don't take my hard-earned money, go remove them from the cs because everyone knows that you will only make money if you constantly remove things from the cs to only bring them back later at the same price.

Besides that, I love everything about the Red update.
