The Cure for the Summertime Blues!

Brb making tons of emails.

Better make a bunch of overalls and shoes while I'm at it, I imagine I'm gonna blow a lot of stuff up.

Very cool..can't wait to get some potential scrolls.
Anywho, I'm curious.
Was this expected to be in the patch last week?
I mean, if the patch was still on for next week, would this have still been announced?
Kinda interesting.
Ah well.
Nice bonus anyways, not gonna complain.

Kay. Saving post # for "i told you so" purposes.

Trust me, that guy's right.

It's obvious they're planning something, since apparently the DB story links with the dragon ninja clan.

After this long of a wait, it had better be one hell of a story line.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this but:
They say you get a potential scroll and a magnifying glass when you reach level 10.
If that magnifying glass is for levels 30-, then there's no way to reveal potential on higher level equipment, best thing you'd be able to do is make your equips unidentified, that if the potential scroll doesn't have special restrictions.

Don't get the excitement over the potential system. All it looks like to me is radically unbalancing the game for a few months and making everything from before the patch (and anything you create with Maker... ever.) obsolete. Unless you enjoy blowing up critical pieces of your existing gear but didn't feel like throwing clean slates on them until they vaporized, then I guess it's good.

If you're lucky as all hell, then you get to keep the gear you already had but with stronger stats. If not, then you get to spam scrolls on level 100 equipment until you get a stronger piece of equipment. You're still getting stronger than you were before, the only thing you have to get past is the "loss" of money that you invested in your old set.

Which is all well and good if you're capable of replacing it. If not you're fucked. Even if it doesn't blow up, then you've got to actually get something that's useful (oh boy, making faces when I get hit, that's a feature I really needed!) I just think this whole thing is ridiculous and unnecessary, and now anyone who is using anything that didn't come from KMS is gonna be screwed even more. I LIKE looking unique, I don't want every single level 100 character to look identical. But now if i'm going to use anything besides the default set I'm gonna have to be severely gimped. There's simply no need for anything like this to have been introduced and, as usual, all it's done is harm the long-time players.

i still think there is goin to be just an event tho (which is kinda unfair for euro players like me ;/ since we cant create new accs and some of us dont want to bother with vpns)
imo we get it in next patch and this is just a "tease"

Don't you have your own localized version of Maplestory?

Don't you already have the ghost ship pq/dual race pq? o_o

But with the rate nexon releases content, that still is only about 2 patches worth of stuff. And masteria is never going to happen, or at least it won't be the same was it was. Losing most of the development team is probably why it's been over a year and nothing has been released. I also feel that someday, GMS too is going to run into 7 or so patches of events from lack of content. KMS just isn't making things fast enough to satisfy the little american gamer kiddies. There should have been a 5 month delay between this stuff and other versions, but it's been roughly 2 months. It's only a matter of time until the pace excels to a month or less delay between KMS releasing and GMS getting. What then? Korea would have to release something new every single month. Ain't happening. Do you at least see where i'm coming from? :|

And they arne't planning pomegranate. JMS changed DB a little, but in the end it is the same exact thing. Same class, slightly different story. It isn't worth much more hype. It isn't collasal, it isn't a masteria expansion, at most it'll be a tutorial area.

EMS pretty much sucks, and I don't see why the old Euro players would want to leave GMS anyway.

can you stfu ? after 6 years of playing gms i think i deserve same rights as any other US player ty.
if you have anything else to say about that use pm

But that's what NX is for! So buy some NX today so that you can RESET and make your equipments BETTER as well as look completely unique with our NEW NX OUTFITS we decide to release every patch! /sarcasm

This system really does just simply widen the gap between the average mapler and the overly zealous rich merchant class of maple. At least this little event will allow for low priced scrolls for a little while so that the average person can simply find/make their own items to become better than before (of course only to be screwed later when the star system comes into play).

As I understand things, this will go from everyone wearing robes and Zakum helms to everyone wearing level 70+ equipment. Some might stick to an all lv 70 set, some to an 80, et cetera, or some might mix things up. If anything, this should make characters as a whole more unique looking.

Till the 130 sets are released (and can give +12% bonuses). Then everyone'll switch to those.

Except that I was already using those, and had invested tons of money in scrolling them and making them good, and now i have to risk destroying them just to keep on base. I don't actually see that many Sauna robe hermits these days. Archers have always had no reason to not use the highest overall possible. It just doesn't seem fair to expect me to throw a 1 in 10 chance of destroying an item that i already ran the risks and scrolled well. Overall INT 60% is over 20mil, a fully scrolled overall thusly has 200+ mil already invested in it. I don't see why I should have to chance it again just to keep it on par.

Nope

We have been getting stuff 5 months after KMS. Aran, Evan and Dual Blade all came to us 5 months after they were introduced in KMS. Though true that we're getting Chaos Zak and HT, as well as potential system, a little early. And we've had several months of craptastic event patches before >.> I don't put it past Nexon of America to do it again till Christmas/New years, where they'll probably bring us Big Bang.

Simple solution is to scroll a seperate overall until it is better than the one you currently have. Just like traditional upgrading.
