Maplestory 2: Awakening

Stop shilling shit games, discord tranny
Go back to your containment thread on /vg/ with the other trannies

Project New Leaf changed most the the progression and rng that everyone had issues with. They just finished the last of the changes almost a month ago. There hasn't been a real content update til Awakening.

I forget, what's fairfight?
And it seems like most of these changes made everything overall much less grindy. Even changed dailies so I assume it isn't like a job like most MMOs
I'm surprised. Wouldn't expect these sort of changes from a Korean MMO.

Did they lower the blue meret price for instruments?

fairfight basically gimped everyones equipment to make dungeons more "challenging". It made dungeons more longer and made the gear you worked hard on seem like a waste, everyone hated it.

They're still 500 merets. They only really lower the price on black friday or whatever package they decide to sell.

>closed beta 1 was already a year ago

>Replaced Daily Missions with a Weekly Prestige Rank system that encourages you to play MapleStory 2 however you want
Can someone explain this further/more indepth for a retard? Would it benefit people who just like to hang out and chill?

Is MS2's playerbase as lively as something like OG runescape?

I should redownload it at some point. Stopped playing about a week after reaching 53 I think?

they should make a 2d maplestory sequel desu

THICCER

when is it coming?

hell no, it's dead as fuck
only the effeminate fellas from /vg/ play it

I kinda want to get back into the game with awakening and striker, priest was really kinda fun. But did they ever fix it so that you don’t need to get perfectly lucky and get piercing in every slot that can have it? It killed me how annoying that was.

They removed the daily missions (swing x objects, kill x enemies, capture x pets, ect) and added the total reward you get from doing those now by leveling up prestige weekly. Prestige is pretty easy to level up, you get 'bonus' exp each day which makes it easy getting a prestige level a day.

did they change how music worked or something? Feels like one or two of my songs are fucked up.

i completely forgot i still had maplestory 2 still installed on my computer, gonna give this game a second try now that they've reduced the shitty grind, thanks OP

Awakening comes out on the 30th. 10 days from now.
I think they changed the music layout some time ago. That might of done it.

Did they fix the cancer RNG upgrading? Or the fucking awful Lag you get for no apparent reason

I stopped playing after fifteen minutes. The threads disappeared almost immediately after launch. Shit game.

no we're not
the game is still shit, and the community is still somehow the worst MMO community i've ever seen over the years

Striker in yet?

please respond

Define "the worst"

Unless they fixed the boring as shit gameplay, which means fixing the boring as shit classes, I ain't coming back.

They revamped Peachy so now you can 100% your way to +15. Just takes more materials to use than Ophelia on average but it's way better than it was before. Gemstones and unlocking sockets are now 100%.

You can buy/sell/trade epics and legendaries with trade ribbons which you get from doing raids, so it's easier to get the stats that you want.

if you mean the lag that you got from wearing 5pc legendary, they fixed that a long time ago.

not him but
>"Drama" such as streamers and raid guilds buying gold and laundering it off with raid selling while getting boosts from GMs. This was worsened by Nexon's incompetence, with market manipulation that anyone with a room temperature IQ could notice such as streamers shilling for X while buying out everything Y until it comes out that Y is actually good. Piercing was overvalued as fuck when at most it would be worth 1.42% of another stat, everything surrounding Main Stat Gems and Bonus Attack, and Pets literally quadrupling player damage.
>Literal misinfo agents that would lurk on forums, which were a fucking meme boogeyman that people would make fun of in other games like Tree of Savior.
>Actual furries and ERP groups breaking into people's homes to do lewd shit
>Any type of public party would be impossible for a new player to get into since everyone demanded +15 maxed out gear for braindead "Hard Dungeon" content like Balrog, Fire Dragon, Etc. If I wanted to play with my friends, I had to hard carry them since nobody else would join us or demand that they get kicked.
Even the fucking /vg/ guilds were better until people started leaving because the actual game was garbage. All of the OC makers and wiki managers and even the fucking Pastebin guy left. The game was fun during the Betas and first month of release when it was still a comfy game where everyone dicked around.

The only good thing that came from this game was the amount of thick chibi porn that people made at launch

I played the first month and had fun, but the grind was too much for me. I guess I'll give it another go.

i forgot about this game since i didn't get into beta.
what does it even play like?

>removed fairfight
a little too late. i can never bring back my friends to this

Casual chibi diablo but with korean RNG gearing and raids that are designed to make you chug % healing potions from the cash shop.
If you want to play it like classic maplestory 1 and explore and dick around, you'll get some millage out of it, but otherwise you should just avoid it

oh shitty. i remember playing maplestory 1 in highschool when it was in some sort of beta. got to level 30 as a 2hander swordsman or some shit. its been awhile.
doesn't look like it has any charm to it anymore. probably never touching korean rpg shit ever again because of cash shop sparkly retardation cosmetics

I remember getting my e-dick sucked by ERP sluts.

i played this game for so long and i never had fun once

only the beta was fun, the game is fucking mediocre, this game is so fucking linear and boring that i ended playing mabinogi instead because i liked the instruments and the way that music is written

How did MapleStory 2 even attract this much drama? This shit doesn't make sense.

>1kb
>picture clearly has more than 1 color, at least 3
THIS MUST BE THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND

Autismo rejects from the korean version, couldn't compete with korean players so they did their best to shit up and misinform everyone in the global community

I have no fucking idea how it got so bad, but there were plenty of factors that definitely influenced it
>Autists that got rejected from the Korean server like Cucksman Bryan ended up using raid knowledge to snowball ahead between raid selling and guild members buying meso from bots. Korean/Chinese players were able to get accessories that gave absurdly broken stats from competitive content like Dark Descent where only a few players for each class every week can win.
>said autists keep shilling their carries and saying it's necessary for braindead content that's a gear check/damage sponge at most
>Nexon's overall incompetence between their strange focus on streamers, not doing anything to deal with people from other versions like the market manipulation and raid selling, and all of the bugs that were unique to the global version. Mushking royale was also cancer.
>GMs that were in on everything with one GM getting caught duping items and getting removed from the team for it.
The raid selling is the biggest one since it let the KMS2 rejects snowball ahead of everyone and threw the market out of control. There is no such thing as a legit new player that buys carries for a raid at fucking 30 million mesos when you would only have 4 million at most when you hit cap and RNG makes it incredibly unlikely for you to get anything useful from your first clear.

>mfw private servers for MS1 are like old maple and grindy, while current MS1 has people fucking speedrunning leveling to 200
what a bizarre timeline

>Marksman Bryan
Feels good to play west, but still this was like what 5 months ago? There hasn't been anything new since then. I've seen worse in other MMO.
