This has been a massively awful update honestly. Nerfing crystals for nlom mules is the exact opposite of what we needed. They fixed boss drops insanely fast, but can't fix high mountain, boss spam attacks, etc. 21 hour maintenance originally, another 4 maintenances, and large parts of the game are still broken or nerfed. Kind of an L "update" just my opinion.
@@BakaReviews nothing happened to nlomien itself. The crystal changes are just hitting mules harder that do up to lomien. Because you cant sell as many crystals and the early ones dont give as much as the bigger ones so you lose out on some meso
@@BakaReviews nlom mules actually don't lose much; assuming they don't do princess no they only access 13 weekly bosses anyways, so they're just losing out on about 56m per week from not doing hard hilla (minus some very minor increase to nlom crystals prices themselves). It's mains and high tier mules like those who can do hlom (and maybe nslime/some arcane river bosses) or even ctene who miss out on a lot more; a ctene mule is missing out on about 520m per week which is like 40% of an nlom mule.
All they had to do was to perform the maintenances on Monday, and no one would have cared. Never understood why they do it on reset when everyone is eager to play. So dumb.
Not only was it on the weekend, but on Sunny Sunday too. The fact they were so upset at everyone getting a few extra MVP's and arcane boxes for ONE set of weeklies is absurd to me. Waiting til Monday would have been so much better for everyone.
@ Do not starforce your arcanes this coming Shining. I will bet my house that they increase the boom rate to get rid of those extra drops. WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE AFtEr!
The boss crystal changes are completely nonsensical and there have been people rightfully quitting over it. Also the Ride or Die event is pretty bad even despite the bugs. The balancing between B/A/S ranks AND the rewards you get from them are so heavily skewed towards the very end-game that it almost feels pointless to do anything more than B for the Legion Block. Even with 20 challenges on A-rank for all of the bosses, you won't come close to getting the higher-tier boxes. It's a shame, because this was a really exciting update that just fumbled hard.
Nerfing boss crystals and limited sell option is the first step for the death of reboot. They must change it now! Can we do something about it? Becuse its only the start!
o it bad on both server now people have to make up to 15 boss mule to make up of the meso like how do this post to help anyone what they did just kill people way of make meso the easy now u ever have to put in 2 hr of farm ever day of meso or getting all you so call boss mule up to c gloom and hard dark nell to make any meso which that cost a lot and u never will make it back
Speaking of disaster, the boss rush. Doing everything on B Rank, gets you absolute squat, but A rank REALLY ramps up the difficulty.. so if anything you need to test the bosses first to see which ones you 'can' kill in A rank besides Darknell, and then you're forced to do B Rank to avoid an impossible fight against him because unless you're heavily geared up, you ain't killing him. (21m CP AB unable to do a damn thing.)
@@truthseekeryouri there is a reliable way - when the Kazax whatever guy says this line: "Which shall burst first? Your Pathetic self or that pathetic thing?", wait 1 second after you see that message show up and use the mapae with Interact key, it will kill the heal minion shortly after it spawns, and if you time it right, it won't use it's heal at all. If you wanna be 100% sure it won't heal up, use a bind skill on it and execute it that way, but I'd advise that to be a last-resort option if your mapae's on cooldown
From what i've seen some people say, you need like 60m cp to do rank A 20 comfortably and like 120m cp to do S20 confortably, So yeah, my lara 15m can't do this event
They expect you to improve in 10 weeks to be able to do S rank or A rank? As a new player this Ride or Die stuff is utterly trash.. U get like 6 gold coins per week and cant even get most rewards to improve your character. Only thing that is is the perm legion block because the requirements are luckily easily achievable.
I guess we will see how many exp vouchers The Dark Ride boxes give tomorrow. Still such a lame move though, even if every box is guaranteed 3k+ vouchers/week. Have to suffer through the buggy/unbalanced content. Also seems like no fresh accounts are strong enough to clear The Dark Ride, so they completely miss out on exp vouchers that should've been easily obtainable.

I was in high hopes for the Aran update. As one who has mained Aran since its release, I was hoping for something big. Now it feels underwhelming. Sure I can still deal decent high damage, but a lot of the skills and buffs that made it great is now gone! A lot of the great fourth job skills were removed as well. Skills and buffs that made Aran a decent party buffing class after reaching fourth job. The ability to call down a giant pole arm to heal and restore HP and MP to all players on the map was huge. Now that most of the good skills and buffs are gone, Aran just feels underwhelming.
The boss crystal cap still makes me so mad. The crystals already had a cap, why tf do they think capping it again is gonna solve it? We got the spl erda cap revoked, I hope the same happens with that one.
@ I can deal with damage nerfs but the overall playstyle of Aran is completely different now. Adrenaline is on cooldown which means combo is effectively useless. This also means less s and less special move (hunters prey). Hunters prey got movement nerfed to WORSE than pre 6th job; yes, movement wise, we are worse off than our old 5th job hunters prey. Our bind burst has been separated into two skills now, which one can argue is a good thing if it weren’t for the fact that we have tons of vmatrix slots now so we can just add erda bind if we wanted a separate bind. Our 6th job was a unique two stage attack where you would activate this crazy adrenaline mode>beat the crap out of the boss>then activate the skill again which had the cool animation and tons of dmg based on combo in said state. Animations look like crap (that’s subjective). And as a cherry on top of this poo poo platter, we get these changes during a boss heavy event. Now a lot of Arans who are less savvy are scrambling to get used to our new skills and rotations.
@@Ed-Zero No more final blow, no more smash swing chaining beyonder, no more gathering hook, rolling spin, that first job range attack, look more like magic user than a polearm warrior, one button mashing centric with beyonder and some other summon/adrenaline boost skill, combo system felt so detached, there's not much incentive to max combo other than for those adrenaline skill damage, maxing combo used to improve every skill aran have like shooting three wolf, having wave from final blow and stuff, now it's just purely for adrenaline skill, they even removed install maha and maha domain, it felt like some random imposter trying to impersonate aran
This was to be expected with fresh content exclusive to our region. For the crystal nerf tho, I did the math it's 30 less mil per Lomian alt. A 30 min wap farm on most mains nets anywhere from 250-350m in 30 minutes so the loss really doesn't feel that big imo.
I just started playing again this past August as a pre-BB player during the big summer update. It was enough for me to basically be playing everyday. I’ve learned a ton about the game and have taken this update by the horns. However, the endless updates, the crystal nerfs, and missing out on things that other regions get (mainly exp vouchers) just sucks to experience. Rumor has it that the past community managers were great. Nowadays, it seems like Nexon and the Maplestory team just doesn’t care about the fan base. I’d like to come back for the long haul, but these bad experiences continue I may just hop back off and move on to the next game.
Man, definitely a rocky start to the events, for sure. I'm not really trying on the ride or die event. I'm just gunning for the legion block, and that's about all. The boxes are neat, but ultimately not worth the effort or time required for me to fight Code A bosses. They just feel way too much like hp padded versions of the bosses. As for Aran? I don't like the aesthetic changes, but I can get over that. For me the core changes have me shifting my aran from my main, to just another boss mule. As far as the aran rework goes, having a cooldown on adrenaline feels ... really bad. Like imagine if kaiser had a cooldown on their final form, in addition to needing to fill their gauge. Or if luminous had a cooldown before entering eclipse mode again. What's the point of having a combo count/secondary resource if we're still limited by cooldowns? Loss of utility feels bad. Install maha, which was an i-frame + summon that healed/cleansed, was replaced by a generic i-frame skill. It doesn't do anything else. it's just a 2 second i-frame on a 60s cooldown. Instead we get a summon that does next to no damage. We also lost a +50% ATT buff with nothing to replace it. The second 6th job core aran got before the rework was huge for us. It made us feel really powerful! A lot of people said it was one of the best 6th job cores from that batch, too. Shame it was removed. I wouldn't call aran unplayable, but for long time aran players, it feels bad. New aran players probably won't have as big an issue with it, but I probably won't be maining aran until some buffs are made. Cause even after balancing changes from KMS, arans are still down about 12% FD. In KMS, aran is outright one of the lowest damage classes now, and i wouldn't be surprised if Aran is in a similar place in GMS.
I was excited and now i barely wanna play: My main was an aran, and man, its BAD The boss crystal change makes me lose roughly 8b a week. So i "Have to" make 5 more bossmules to max my crystals to have the same amount of money as before the patch, wtf? bossdrops were so good and now they suck again. Also something you forgot to add in your video: Familiar cards have been removed from the familiar shop for no reason at all.
Both my hyper burns aren’t dropping familiars even at levels 220+. Meanwhile all the other zero to 100 characters get familiar card drops just fine. This is after I wasn’t able to login for 2 days straight (excluding maintenance).
Every time I give feedback to Nexon, I mention the Meso issues for new players, and boss crystals. It can get really annoying and disheartening to do your weekly bosses over 1 - 2 hours, and then basically lose all meso in 5 minutes when trying to enhance current characters or mules... It makes the game feel just like work.. Most my 260+ characters can't even solo the slime, wills or lucid after years.. I feel like most players get stuck, they need more work on allowing people to grow quicker stat wise for 245-270.
Sometimes im tempted to play again, then I remember I stopped right before they added more fragments ill now be behind on by a year, not to mention all the time and money I invested into my Jett. This stuff is just the icing on the cake
The Ride or Die event is definitely underwhelming. I thought it was going to be more of an involved event but once you defeat all of the bosses you literally can't do anything else for the rest of the week. That's beyond stupid considering this update was thought to be very heavily focused with Ride or Die yet the event seems way more focused on the book stuff which was supposed to be side content lol. Nerfing boss crystals is beyond dumb, I really don't understand their obsession with slowing down player progression as hard as they seem to want to other than to follow the logic of "Slowing down player progression means they'll be playing longer" but even that is horrid logic.
I personally have been having a hard time enjoying this update cause I dont do enough damage to even be able to effictively participate in the boss side of it. Maybe thats just a skill issue or me being dumb, but i can hardly enjoy it. Atleast revamped shade is really cool
I mean they were trying to branch out. I will give them the benefit of doubt that they are trying their best for the gms exclusive event which isn’t easy like Jett case
I started playing again 3 months ago and was grinding out aran alot, the changes make it feel so slow and clunky now :( very upset i invested time into the character now 😢
@@CereaIxD tbf we did not know it be this bad like people say it was bad but i was thinking it be a litter bad like the number is low but this right here just kill the hold class the dps number is low and the big burst number that aran is know for is 100% dog water i can feel it which say something and i not ever a aran main
Yeah it’s insane.. I do 3k team points when I solo Ursus on my NL who is only doing 25m lines, and when on my DB doing 50-80m lines I can’t get to even 500 team points before Ursus rages and kills me.. though when I get the 3k on my NL, I get a rank E and get no meso.. where when I get 460 on my DB i get rank A and 5mill.. wtf is that? And I know my DB is doing enough damage to get at least 1200-1300 team points..
This is exactly what I figured would happen once GMS started doing their own things and not follow KMS exactly. We had these unscheduled maintenances a ton when there was a ton more GMS exclusive. Just going to keep getting worse a lot before it gets better
This is why you people should just give it up already this game is going nowhere but down as someone who has left but still follows the game trust me when I say it’s only going to continue to keep going downhill
Its quite embarassing how poorly this update went for nexon.. Wtf are they even doing? 0 communication. 12 minute heads after before doing a 3-4 hour emergencey maint.. wtf?
It was going well but of course they had to mess this, sadly it shows GMS team is incompetent, they never test things, do we even have coders? They can't fix shit that has been broken for months like Mountain lag (which btw was fine when it came out) can't fix actual bugs that mess a class like Mechs, can't do shit for us but they can totally bring the game down during the Sunday Perks just to fix drop rates because we were getting "Too much"; bosses have their internal CD for attacks messed but they dont do shit about it either.
@@dokutah2480 yep basically Bosses are kinda spaming their FMA or 1 KO skills along with other stuff, the Slime boss for example just teleport to a random position after doing its mech properly, when it should teleport to the center always.
Calm down friend. This is a comment section talking about how Nexon needs to do a better job with Maplestory. I wish they did a better job. I would love for it to be a better game for everyone.
@@PokeMan69"I went to a comment section filled with mostly critical reception of a poorly launched update, and was surprised to see people be upset! I should post a snide comment to prove how cool and hip I am!" Starting to sound like you yet?
the update looks good otherwise but the crystal changes is insanity. I don't play my mules they only exist to throw growth potions at so this is still only a minor nerf to me but those completionists who need every soul crystal now have more mules they have to play.
Boycott this game till they do the right thing y’all fr won’t get better until you all put your foot down in unison and let nexon know you’ve had enough
I'm an Aran main and I think my best course of action right now is to either cope that they're going to fix the issues I have with the demaster, or change mains. I don't even know what class I want to play anymore that was like Aran, maybe Hero I guess?
@navomusic5123 I played Hoyung up to 200, and decided that's way too many buttons to press. While Nimbus cloud is unique, I don't really like not having an up jump. Also I like classes that have huge burst like Aran, Night Walker, Night Lord, Hero, etc.
@@cytosine6870 Blaster have less button to press, but need more button per minute if that's your thing, or shadower since I played shadower, It's jack of all trade
Wait so since I quit korea has made progress on killing reboot while global tries to keep it alive because it's the only server people actually play on, wonder how long before korea kills gms reboot like all the other gms exclusive content
im glad gms gets exclusive content but i hate that its exclusive to players that have reached a certain point in the game i can clear code B but it was rough and none of my friends can clear B... i realize that all the events are to "help" players get higher stats but its honestly doing the opposite... its discouraging me from taking a step forward from being a casual player cuz theres no guarantee that i can make the cut even if i take one step forward :( im glad the other event is accessible at least
The reason for the party fd stacking nerfs was so people would not feel forced to have bishop in every pt and very specific stacking parties. But they left lynn and kanna as they were so now party requirements are even stricter
No, the party requirements are less strict, kanna is just another bishop and so is lynn. All 3 of them have a niche depending on party size lyyn in duo, bishop in 3-4 man and kanna at 5-6 man. Instead of a mandatory bishop you can use one of those 3 easily.
Unpopular opinion: Boss crystals were justified. I don’t think it makes sense that 14 Akechi mules should generate you 10b per week especially when it takes 15 mins per mule. That’s just unhealthy coming from the perspective of anyone who doesn’t have 14 mules. You’ll always have people with multiple boss mules defending the changes so why bother discussing this issue when nexon gets the final say regardless😂
Facts. No lifers with like 20 boss mules complaining about it NOT being beneficial anymore. GOOD. Farm your main for a little and get a girlfriend or something
Unfortunately I've been back and forth on Maple for months and I thought this update was going to be enough to get me back in it unfortunately I really don't understand the bugs associated with it and I literally did all of my dailies including the 3,000 kills I did all the I watched it complete I knew I had completed it and then when I go back to town and I go to open my planner to collect everything nothing is there and I got zero credit even though I watched it get counted as I got kills to make sure I had it right so that kind of ruined it for me and I think I'm kind of done with maple.
hey whats your (or others) opinion on starting maplestory? I'm reading a lot of negative comments about the publisher and even tons of chat in discord about cash grabs instead of content, etc.
@@Swiitchd It’s not as bad as the comments make it sound. Yes the update this time is a mess, but the game as a whole has seen many many improvements over the years. It’s really fun to play. If you’re considering to pick it up, go for it. 😊
it's game, once you want to try and found it's fun go for it. game is game game also business, since need price to maintain server and pay for staff if you try it and it's doesn't fun or make more suffer, so stop playing it. most comment are "their opinions" if you want to know how it is, just try :D
Give it a go and see if you like it, you can go at your own pace, there is 'fear of missing out' but you can get to endgame without those items and without a lot of characters, and again you can invest as much time into it as you want. Game is responsive, colorfull, cool bosses, awsome community, grindy and character heavy ( you need multiple characters for some good stats) people tend to be super negative. I play for a few years, never spend a single euro and i'm still havint fun 😊
Even though I spent a full day downloading the 40+gb download, I guess I should be glad I can't even make an account. [Why is this game so popular? It sounds like trash..]

Every time I give feedback to Nexon, I mention the Meso issues for new players, and boss crystals. It can get really annoying and disheartening to do your weekly bosses over 1 - 2 hours, and then basically lose all meso in 5 minutes when trying to enhance current characters or mules... It makes the game feel just like work.. Most my 260+ characters can't even solo the slime, wills or lucid after years.. I feel like most players get stuck, they need more work on allowing people to grow quicker stat wise for 245-270.
Sometimes im tempted to play again, then I remember I stopped right before they added more fragments ill now be behind on by a year, not to mention all the time and money I invested into my Jett. This stuff is just the icing on the cake
I'm sad they didn't add the name auction event like they said they would. Hopefully it's in a part 2
The original notes said it would be in the new year , expect it January
The Ride or Die event is definitely underwhelming. I thought it was going to be more of an involved event but once you defeat all of the bosses you literally can't do anything else for the rest of the week. That's beyond stupid considering this update was thought to be very heavily focused with Ride or Die yet the event seems way more focused on the book stuff which was supposed to be side content lol. Nerfing boss crystals is beyond dumb, I really don't understand their obsession with slowing down player progression as hard as they seem to want to other than to follow the logic of "Slowing down player progression means they'll be playing longer" but even that is horrid logic.
the disaster that was the Ignition update was subtle foreshadowing for this update
I personally have been having a hard time enjoying this update cause I dont do enough damage to even be able to effictively participate in the boss side of it. Maybe thats just a skill issue or me being dumb, but i can hardly enjoy it. Atleast revamped shade is really cool
I mean they were trying to branch out. I will give them the benefit of doubt that they are trying their best for the gms exclusive event which isn’t easy like Jett case
I started playing again 3 months ago and was grinding out aran alot, the changes make it feel so slow and clunky now :( very upset i invested time into the character now 😢
Agree the change was negative overall, but you knew it was coming though. If you didnt, that's 100% on you.
@@CereaIxD tbf we did not know it be this bad like people say it was bad but i was thinking it be a litter bad like the number is low but this right here just kill the hold class the dps number is low and the big burst number that aran is know for is 100% dog water i can feel it which say something and i not ever a aran main
@@CereaIxD ah yes, only he is to blame that nexon fucked up the class the likes to play
Hello coppersan. Question , where do people get the basic unit damage skin?
Yeah it’s insane.. I do 3k team points when I solo Ursus on my NL who is only doing 25m lines, and when on my DB doing 50-80m lines I can’t get to even 500 team points before Ursus rages and kills me.. though when I get the 3k on my NL, I get a rank E and get no meso.. where when I get 460 on my DB i get rank A and 5mill.. wtf is that? And I know my DB is doing enough damage to get at least 1200-1300 team points..
This is exactly what I figured would happen once GMS started doing their own things and not follow KMS exactly. We had these unscheduled maintenances a ton when there was a ton more GMS exclusive. Just going to keep getting worse a lot before it gets better
This is why you people should just give it up already this game is going nowhere but down as someone who has left but still follows the game trust me when I say it’s only going to continue to keep going downhill
I've been playing for 20 years. I use to think this to
Just move on if you’re not playing the game anymore
you are right
i feel like this is a reoccurring problem for years that they just never can get down.
Its quite embarassing how poorly this update went for nexon.. Wtf are they even doing?
0 communication. 12 minute heads after before doing a 3-4 hour emergencey maint.. wtf?
at this point let the community run the servers
It was going well but of course they had to mess this, sadly it shows GMS team is incompetent, they never test things, do we even have coders? They can't fix shit that has been broken for months like Mountain lag (which btw was fine when it came out) can't fix actual bugs that mess a class like Mechs, can't do shit for us but they can totally bring the game down during the Sunday Perks just to fix drop rates because we were getting "Too much"; bosses have their internal CD for attacks messed but they dont do shit about it either.
Is that why i as a beginner had to spend 6 hours learning czak only to get spammed with all his atks in 10seconds? Holy
@@dokutah2480 yep basically Bosses are kinda spaming their FMA or 1 KO skills along with other stuff, the Slime boss for example just teleport to a random position after doing its mech properly, when it should teleport to the center always.
@@castevilla8240 But horntail had too little hp so they buffed it right?
@@dokutah2480 for the event yes, for the regular CHT I have no idea if it got affected by it
Us Mechanics are still the only bugged class. It's not fair.
thought everyone was supposed to quit after the cube incident
It is times like these that make me happy I quit GMS and just play Artale.
This isn't an airport no need to announce your departure 💀.
Calm down friend. This is a comment section talking about how Nexon needs to do a better job with Maplestory. I wish they did a better job. I would love for it to be a better game for everyone.
@@PokeMan69"I went to a comment section filled with mostly critical reception of a poorly launched update, and was surprised to see people be upset! I should post a snide comment to prove how cool and hip I am!"
Starting to sound like you yet?
@@Funkpocalypse bros not gonna let you smash him for defending him giving up on GMS to go play classic GMS Roblox edition 💀.
@@PokeMan69 lil bro so edgy
They have to save money having us QA and test updates. We complain quick and cover multiple scenarios. Internally planned but to us "un"
Mechanics still can't use maple warrior and maple goddess blessing. This is ridiculous
But maple warrior is passive now...
Not just mechanic. It's shade and explorers too.
@@DB-rp2gjyou do know that maple warrior is a passive now right?
@@VoiceInVoid The passive isn't working for mechs
@@pandawarriah The passive is not working. We lose out on both maple warrior and goddess blessing right now
Maplestory: Trust in Inwell rides and dies.
the update looks good otherwise but the crystal changes is insanity. I don't play my mules they only exist to throw growth potions at so this is still only a minor nerf to me but those completionists who need every soul crystal now have more mules they have to play.
Xlotus has been buffed too without notice :/
Boycott this game till they do the right thing y’all fr won’t get better until you all put your foot down in unison and let nexon know you’ve had enough
I have Artale so I do care about this current MS 🥰 Such peace in my soul since we got this official classic
Maintenance story.
Lets keep the tradition.
Bump
I'm an Aran main and I think my best course of action right now is to either cope that they're going to fix the issues I have with the demaster, or change mains. I don't even know what class I want to play anymore that was like Aran, maybe Hero I guess?
Maybe try hou young
@navomusic5123 I played Hoyung up to 200, and decided that's way too many buttons to press. While Nimbus cloud is unique, I don't really like not having an up jump. Also I like classes that have huge burst like Aran, Night Walker, Night Lord, Hero, etc.
@@cytosine6870 Blaster have less button to press, but need more button per minute if that's your thing, or shadower since I played shadower, It's jack of all trade
The despair I felt when the maint happened on sunny Sunday cannot be rationally put into words. Like holy shit man.
That’s why MapleStory Worlds/nostalgic servers are better 😏
Wait so since I quit korea has made progress on killing reboot while global tries to keep it alive because it's the only server people actually play on, wonder how long before korea kills gms reboot like all the other gms exclusive content
Going west means they can nerf contents in their own way
I lost so much motivation after they nerfed boss crystals
This with the announcement of the Black Friday items has allowed me to save so much time and money not playing the game 🥰🥰
I will say this hyper burning remastered shade is absolutely cracked AF. Lvl 230 now way more fun than my lvl 246 hoyoung 😅
This event mostly benefits late to end-game players.
They literally Butchered Aran!
🤦🏻♂️
Nexon planing moving the maplestory IP into maplestory universe. Why u didn’t play the universe version? This is the next generation maplestory.
At least it’s still better than what Pearl Abyss created with Black Desert…… Drove my ass to Maplestory……
whats going on at 5:05, i like your videos. but how can people like this game when you cant even see whats happening on your screen lol
So funny I haven’t played maplestory in like 7 years but I still watch these videos so I know what’s going on haha. Bring back pre Big bang!!! 😂
im glad gms gets exclusive content but i hate that its exclusive to players that have reached a certain point in the game
i can clear code B but it was rough and none of my friends can clear B... i realize that all the events are to "help" players get higher stats but its honestly doing the opposite... its discouraging me from taking a step forward from being a casual player cuz theres no guarantee that i can make the cut even if i take one step forward :(
im glad the other event is accessible at least
Lvl 251 Blaster here - Able to clear HT and Vellum on rank B, 1 challenge. My third boss was Slime, so I had to give up.
@@_Azzychanrush to 6th job so you get stronger, or fund your blaster more if you can
Was excited to come back to maple, was sad to leave right away
Atleast... Akechi reflect doesnt work... 😂😂
The game is still more fun than it's ever been!! I enjoy the chaos of updates
And this isnt even talking about SEA...
The reason for the party fd stacking nerfs was so people would not feel forced to have bishop in every pt and very specific stacking parties. But they left lynn and kanna as they were so now party requirements are even stricter
No, the party requirements are less strict, kanna is just another bishop and so is lynn. All 3 of them have a niche depending on party size lyyn in duo, bishop in 3-4 man and kanna at 5-6 man. Instead of a mandatory bishop you can use one of those 3 easily.
"The Straightest character in Maplestory" I watch this video of yours all the time ♥
Thank you for your content ^^
2 steps forward, 4 steps back
MSEA player: Heh, first time?
horntail puppet ability becom a new instant death for me in ride or die
Aw rats, I (Flamigo) got caught in 4k buying pssb's in this video T.T
Man this really isn't the maple I grew up with... 1 B damage?! WTF
Wait i thought reboot didnt get totems back? People still play regular servers?
I came back for this update but tbh I don't think this game is worth my time. 😩
Y'all thought Nexon was gonna let GMS continue to thrive? 😂
anytime you wonder why nexon has made a stupid change know its because money
Don't you like "features"?
Artale has been fun! Im never going back to gms
Die or Die event
Unpopular opinion: Boss crystals were justified. I don’t think it makes sense that 14 Akechi mules should generate you 10b per week especially when it takes 15 mins per mule. That’s just unhealthy coming from the perspective of anyone who doesn’t have 14 mules. You’ll always have people with multiple boss mules defending the changes so why bother discussing this issue when nexon gets the final say regardless😂
Facts. No lifers with like 20 boss mules complaining about it NOT being beneficial anymore. GOOD. Farm your main for a little and get a girlfriend or something
Glad I stopped paying , gotta say with so much free time life’s been nice
I mean...akechi IS fast!
Unfortunately I've been back and forth on Maple for months and I thought this update was going to be enough to get me back in it unfortunately I really don't understand the bugs associated with it and I literally did all of my dailies including the 3,000 kills I did all the I watched it complete I knew I had completed it and then when I go back to town and I go to open my planner to collect everything nothing is there and I got zero credit even though I watched it get counted as I got kills to make sure I had it right so that kind of ruined it for me and I think I'm kind of done with maple.
hey whats your (or others) opinion on starting maplestory? I'm reading a lot of negative comments about the publisher and even tons of chat in discord about cash grabs instead of content, etc.
dont do it, the devs are complete morons who dont play the game
@@Swiitchd It’s not as bad as the comments make it sound. Yes the update this time is a mess, but the game as a whole has seen many many improvements over the years. It’s really fun to play. If you’re considering to pick it up, go for it. 😊
it's game, once you want to try and found it's fun go for it. game is game
game also business, since need price to maintain server and pay for staff
if you try it and it's doesn't fun or make more suffer, so stop playing it.
most comment are "their opinions" if you want to know how it is, just try :D
Give it a go and see if you like it, you can go at your own pace, there is 'fear of missing out' but you can get to endgame without those items and without a lot of characters, and again you can invest as much time into it as you want. Game is responsive, colorfull, cool bosses, awsome community, grindy and character heavy ( you need multiple characters for some good stats) people tend to be super negative. I play for a few years, never spend a single euro and i'm still havint fun 😊
I'm glad I stopped playing maple story. Final Fantasy XIV is where it's at
Welcome to maplesea
I’m having so much fun in artale tho 🤣
When going west turns south 😅
Game sucks anymore
Shade and aran = nerf 😢
Shade = buff Aran = nerf
@@kevinalohan2334 Shade lost 10% FD. He's cooked, but not as bad as Aran.
Aran rework was a joke
Even though I spent a full day downloading the 40+gb download, I guess I should be glad I can't even make an account.
[Why is this game so popular? It sounds like trash..]
Say RAAR MAAR WAAR 3 times fast
I play Artale.
