The Visitors

i wonder if we're going to see a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly reset, allowing it to be permanent but constantly progressing. they can explain the re-occurrence by the maple world being stuck in a paradox, like the movie groundhog day.

Or they could be more logical and have there be invasion after failed invasion. This would also make sense with the crystonal time extensions. Miss it this month? maker sure to extend your equip in the chance to get it next time!

Also..... maybe the weapons and armors and such progress each time you complete a cycle. So say you have the 37 weapon, and next time around, it takes that and gives you the next tier weapon.... it would completely make other weapons and such WORTHLESS!!!!

that's less logical because it's supposed to be a continuous story with a beginning and an end. you should only be able to defeat dr. bing once, but if each wave is lead by him that wouldn't make sense. with this being heavily influenced by time travel, a paradox is a very real possibility, allowing time to repeat infinitely and dr. bing to be defeated continuously for all of time.

Uhm, so they probably saw how many people said that they copied the event from ThaiMS and decided to announce that it's their development team who did it.

If it's actually like that, I think there might be some hope for Masteria.

I believe! Damn I need to make a signature with Masteria that says I believe..L>Someone to teach me!

Definetly. If they designed all these, there is always the possiblity they wanted all these features to use in masteria, and while I wouldn't want to get my hopes up, making good use of all these features for a large scale area would be pretty cool

yeah if they didn't design these and announced that they are the creator of them, thai ms can sue them (even though i dont know how this works but yeah nexon do watch their words when it comes to credits)

I dont think they could sue them really. Nexon NA is under the umbrella of Nexon Korea, which licenses the game out to who ever run ThaiMS. Cant exactly bite the hand that feeds you.

Gotta disagree. If this is Asiasoft created, Nexon AM wouldn't be allowed, even if it was just NexonKR covering their ass, to claim they created it. Though, it could have been placed on continent 5 only because that continent is generally empty in GlobalMS. Besides, it looks like it has a ton of maps, which would take a big chunk of continent 6, and wasn't placed in continent 6 because it IS an event. There is no evidence this is to be recurring. In fact, there IS evidence that it does NOT recur.

Having seen what this is like, I actually like this idea. I mean, it was like "holy crap cool" when I saw things progressing, storyline-wise, though what I don't know is whether or not everyone experiences it at the same time or if it depends on how far you are on the quests. I'm guessing the latter.

Chief Stan: "Holy flying pineapples, what ISH dat thing??"
Kalovale: "Looks like a space ship, way too technically advanced for our realms.."
Chief Stan: "Duude halp us!!"
Kalovale: "Sure sure grandpa, just give me the damned quests."
...
hours later -2nd phase starts-
...
Chief Stan: "Holy fucking elf where the puck is that son of a peach!!!! AHHHH ALIENNNN"
Kalovale: "zzz"

I still dont get this argument, who is to say ThaiMS didnt just steal all of it from us and leave like half of it behind for later?

It clearly says GMS developed and tested it for months, meaning they made it, at least thats how I interpret it.

GMS expanded on the idea. The original concept was meant for ThaiMS. GMS "developed and tested" it for months probably refers to the expanded questline.

Masteria seems more probable now. Even if they did not make this area, then they must of have done something within the last X months.

Nexon owns all the versions of MS. They just license it out to local gaming companies to publish. In the long run, no version should sue any other version.

They DID create some of the content though. This area being on continent 5 gives us suspicions, but does not confirm anything. However these event maps are clearly slated a "thai" when it comes to map strings. Furthermore, all areas that GMS/EMS create have always been in Continent 6 (even the Neo City expansion).

This is what I'm talking about (click img to view full size):

For the record, Singapore/Malaysia maps are also in Continent 5, but are in a completely new "folder":

Hopefully if all the good stuff drops from Dr. Bing it won't be super rare, or made in such a way that the "FM Owners" can't make a monopoly out of it.

Just make freaking everything untradeable. Work for it, earn it.

Weapons, maybe. Rings and belts? No please. I rather not have to get a set of rings and belts for all my characters.

Everything as in not just the item itself, but also the materials that are possibly required for it.

Posted on the Nexon forum.

SlayerGhost:You mean to tell me you guys decide to do a real time event during the only week that I won't be able to play? I'm gonna get back and be unable to get a lvl 127 dagger! D=

Nexon'd.

Hime: One week? You'll be able to catch up with the other weeks.


Take that how you will...

Lets be honest, how many times has hime EVER been right? At least with her forum posts. I honestly don't know why they're saying that they're taking considerable time making the weapons when if you give me the image I could just go in MS paint and recolor them, also I doubt the stats are hard to add. I guess Nexon has to brag about silly things to keep a good rep, people will believe anything these days

I gotta say... personally I won't spend money on untradeable equipment. Even ones that can be karma'd - it's just not a nice feature to have when I've got 3 4th job characters.

I've got my fingers crossed that they're finally putting a tradeable belt in the game... I don't care what it costs in the FM. It means the difference between my Dark Knight continuing to use a clean white belt, or sharing whatever potential I can get out of one of these new ones.

I like how it's limited time.
It makes it seem more realistic.

I just hope we get some more 100+ training areas

How do we know ThaiMS made any of this at all?
I've been asking that forever and have yet to receive a good answer other than people assuming they just made some.

Lets be honest, how many times has hime EVER been right?

She did say this patch wasn't Masteria related, and right she was.


Anyway. Wonder how this will work... sort of looking forward to it. Even though I must likely won't be ale to take complete advantage of it.
