Yes this is about the Invalid pointer bug.

ASIASOFT WOULD YOU GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND FIX THIS ALREADY?

If I'm not wrong, this bug started ever since season 2 was around. Since then, people have been complaining on forums, and their facebook about this bug. The ONLY response we had so far was a mod trying to find out the problem in the forums, but we all know how limited a forum mod's power is in getting AS to actually act on the problem. So far, AS has not even acknowledged that there exist such a problem by posting anything about and is simply ignoring such a game breaking bug, which affect almost every single one of the maple population (all my friends I've asked have experienced this at one point or another, though frequency is varied"

So, WOULD YOU GUYS STOP COMING OUT WITH NEW CONTENT/EVENTS until you fix this invalid pointer?


How this bug ruins the game for players in many ways-

1. DC in freaking boss fights, wasting all time/money invested (*oops* YOU SHADOW CYGNUS!!)
2. Lose all buffs which we spend hundreds of millions on
3. Fairy pendent = love to dc right about when you build it to 30%
4. Sent back to town, always a hassle when grinding
5. DC every few hours, nuff said.

And this error has to do with server issues, not our individual clients!


Can AS at least assure us that this is being worked on? We've heard them say that their technicians are working around the clock to fix server stability issues, but no mention about a bug that crashes our clients at the worst time (just had 2 member crash during 2x server drop during Cyg run-we didn't down her). I daresay that many players frustration over this bug has made them feel like wanting to play/spend less on such an unstable game.


PS: This is a discussion on how AS has neglected its duties and a call for them to acknowledge a failure on their part and to start working on it. It does not belong in technical forums.

To defeat Magnus, players will need to take note of the following:
1. Players must be inside the blue zone in order to deal damage to Magnus. Once outside this zone, there will be no damage dealt to Magnus.
2. Players need to avoid the colour stones falling from the top. Upon hit, the Green stone will deal damage equivalent to 50% of Max HP, while the Purple stone and Blue stone will result in instant death
3. Players are advised to avoid the green gas that spawns around the map as they will stun the characters and disable skills.

Wow... is this true that people are all using bots now to bot their characters? I have heard of players getting from level 1 to 120 within 1 week is this true? with hacking and bots plus x2 experience, I think this has getting more serious. Soon, maplesea will be doomed and everyone will be botting with no one cares. Wow, as gamemasters in maplesea are not longer active at all. Hackers getting more and more everyday and more level 200 characters are being trained everyday.

I have hacked my character with x2 exp and MapleSEA BT trainer from level 80 to level 100 in just 2 days and plus using attack speed hack. It is totally possible now to level to high levels just by using bots :). Manually training your characters nowadays is waste of time just bot all the way to level 200, it is totally possible. No one cares about you at all.

MapleSEA will become bot world soon? As everyone will be botting? An automated world !! Haha :)

[Discussion] Difficulty of Bosses

$
0
0
Having played quite a number of MMORPGs, I feel that Maple is in a severe need of a Mathematician + a Strategist, especially in the way Bosses are designed.

Firstly, in most MMORPGs, the next release of bosses are usually accompanied with pathways to ensure that you are able to deal sufficient damage, and perhaps at times with some improvements to the gear such as "cubing" and "scrolling", minimal focus on gear, higher focus on skills. This gives is some linearity in moving up the chain of bosses and difficulty.

Secondly, boss mechanics are simply too strange to be true, with the current bosses being divided into Super Easy "Likes of Zakum and Horntail" VS Super Hard "Like CPB, Cyg and of cos Hard Magnus". Potion lock itself is bad enough, but having the boss mechanics run in such a way that Potion Lock can be casted consecutively with Zombiefied means only one thing - sure death. Seduce + 1/1... I believe many of you have encountered this as well... I know how bad it sucks... Although status avoidability is introduced subsequently, Maple came up with something even better... Mass 1HKO skills within the same boss (Magnus)... WOW...

Thus regarding the steepness of slope in terms of difficulty of bosses, and how the focus is more on gears rather than skills for Maple, feel free to share your thoughts!

P.S: If Normal Magnus does not drop Magnus Coin (they only drop Shadow Merchant Coins), then why call it Magnus in the first place (They should rename it into Shadow Merchant in Magnus Form)? 

Ridiculous Magic Quill!

So as a member of a Cygnus party of 6, imagine my surprise when saw people in FM selling Cygnus weapons and equips (including hats) at ~1b meso. 

Be enchanted this Season 2 with the introduction of the Book of Magic!

Finding it hard to get Cygnus Equipments for your new Season 2 characters?

Not to fret, with the Book of Magic, stand a chance to obtain any Cygnus Equipments! You may even get luckier with epic tier upon reveal!



Discard any similarities you see in this compared to Music Box. The rate you can obtain this items is simply insane.

1.5k a key, and its roughly an estimated 50% chance you get a SEASON 2 Cygnus weapon/Armor. Yes you got that right. For only 3k acash, you are almost guaranteed to get a Cygnus weap/armor!

My guild mate spend 60k on boxes, and got 30 pieces of Cygnus equips! So anyone who spent on Music box or anniversary boxes last few weeks to try to get new Cygnus weapons, yea well you got ripped off.


Now to all the F2P players out there, this is the best news maple has came out for years. You guys can now probably be decked out in FULL Cygnus gear for Less than max mesos! 

For all those who have spent $1000s in this game already, especially after season 2 to deal with the power creep from bosses, and use Cygnus as a slow method of recuperating money spent, this has been a game breaking move. Why would we even try to do weekly Cygnus runs anymore? The buffs and wheels we use now will probably be more expensive than what Cygnus drops in total after the flooding of these equipment. 

I don't know, I can see the merits for AS choice in this decision. Earn $10000s instantly from the mass flooding of Cygnus Equip into the market, but by doing so, this move has killed any potential of their old "big fishes" to continue spending anymore money in this game. Why spend anything getting stronger if the hardest boss in the game equips are worth less then the effort required to kill it? I'm sure many funded players will be ragequitting after spending so much on cubes (with the promotions and all) and getting stronger in season 2 (most probably because they want to defeat Cygnus and sell the gears), only to find out 1 month later that the market for Cygnus equips are totally ruined. 




PS:
Magnus was also just released today, but hard mode is hell hard (my party who downs Cygnus in 5 minutes tried today - after 30 mins in Hard Magnus, we had barely done 5% dmg of his hp LOL. And it wasn't even the balls that was the problem we barely died due to that, his HP is just so... thick...). Would anyone bother spending the $1000s more required to gear up to defeat him when his equips are probably not even going to cost that much since the little bit weaker Cygnus will be selling at <1b meso levels? haha




All in all, I'd have to say I'm a little happy for the move on AS part - F2P players finally got what they wanted. You no longer need to spend at all/alot (I know many unfunded players can make max meso with some effort) for a full Cygnus set. Me and my guild however, being on the funded sided has just decided that AS has majorly screwed us over, and are helpless after we dumped the money in as investment to go bossing lol.



Edit: From the derep I'm getting, I'm guessing everyone just hates me because I spend money in Maple? I already said this was a GOOD MOVE for free players. To put this into an analogy...
I am a chocolate manufacturer. I spend money on setting up my plant and work hard doing it. 1 day, Chocolate magically falls from the sky in an infinite amount. Can't blame a chocolate manufacturer for getting mad then when your investments in your factory and all is basically now worthless haha. We never had a monopoly, and Cygnus killers work hard improving their gear, setting up shops to sell, queuing through the morning in ungodly hours from 12-7 am in the past to attempt to even beat 100x hackers go get into Cygnus. Needless to say we're quite sad about this event right?

An open Letter to Asiasoft [POSTED!]

Dear all, I guess we maplers have much to feedback to Asiasoft / Nexon regarding in-game issues and other things. I believe most of us feel that the "satisfaction level" of the game have dipped to all time lows.

I am proposing the drafting of an open letter addressed to both of them. A copy of the letter will be posted here. I am hoping to perhaps publish the letter in mainstream newspaper, eg: The Straits Times. If that fails, i will just send it via registered post to their office (puke)

All are welcome to give your constructive feedback and opinions and i will try to include them in the letter!

:lol: (letter is on the second post!)

Albert, Marketing Operations Executive from Asiasoft acknowledging the receipt of the Open Letter on 30/06 at Yishun Stadium Maple Bus Event. He would forward the letter to the relevant department(s) :lol: 

Opening
Spoiler 

- Nexon has licensed Maplestory to Asiasoft for Singapore, Malaysia & Philippines
- The game is in its eighth year now
- MapleStorySEA is a free to play game but players' gameplay can be greatly enhanced by purchasing various products through @cash


What we like about the game(CURRENT)
Spoiler 

-Simple to play
- I need more suggestions here to make the letter a tad more balanced 


What we DO NOT like about the game (CURRENT)
Spoiler 

- Top Tier bossing is out of reach for unfunded players
- Rampant hacking and botting in game
- In game bugs are not promptly rectified within a reasonable period of time
Various benefits and events are not given to MapleSEA players, whereas those benefits and events were given to players in other maplestory services
- There is some ambiguity in the interpretation of T&C laid down by Asiasoft. It appears that certain parties might have "gotten off with a slap on the wrist"
Certain requirements for bossing are redundant and ineffective (example Horntail)
- The computing power required to run the game differ greatly from what is stated as on the website -- Usually results in DC when bossing end game bosses
- "simple" bosses like normal Zakum have horrible drop rate (zero skill books in a few consecutive runs) especially core skill books. Unfunded players have difficulties in obtaining their core skill books
- there is too much disparity in terms of damage output when comparing different classes, this makes certain classes "unwelcome" in bossing squads due to their low damage


Things we hope to see improvement on / immediate action (FUTURE)
Spoiler 

- A more effective system to deter botter and hackers
- A more comprehensive trading system in game
- A level of "benefits" that is not significantly lower than players from other maplestory services
- A truly MAPLESEA exclusive job(s), ZEN is just a copy & paste failure with no provisions for Hyper Skills


Things we hope to NOT see in the game(FUTURE)
Spoiler 

- Excessive number of events which require players to spend @cash


Closing
Spoiler 

- Thank you for taking time to read our letter
- We hope to get a reply from you by _________ (a reasonable date)

Feedback and Suggestions from Maplers, For Maplers

$
0
0
We would like to start off the letter by thanking Asiasoft and Nexon for bringing MapleStorySEA to us in Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines for the past eight years. On a personal note, I am a veteran Mapler playing the game since 2006. A copy of this letter will also be posted on the Feedback & Suggestions section of Playpark Community Forum, entitled “An Open Letter To AsiaSoft”.

MapleStory is a free to play game, catered to players of all different ages. Gameplay can be enhanced substantially through various items available in the Cash Shop. As such, Maplers can be classified broadly into two categories: funded and unfunded. The common and distinct challenges faced by both group of Maplers would be discussed subsequently in this section. 

Common challenges faced by all:
1) Hacking is rampant, affecting the dynamics of gameplay. There is no effective avenue for players to report hackers or to take prompt action against hackers.
2) In-game bugs are not rectified promptly (example: invalid pointer DC issue, Kaiser DC issue- previously reported in other Maplestory services).
3) Players were not given similar benefits upon comparison to other Maplestory services (example: elven tiara, hot time events, Angelic Buster / Luminous Tempest Set were not given to MapleSEA players. Various items are not available in Season 2 shop).
4) Trading of high value items in game is virtually impossible due to hyper inflation of mesos and meso cap at 2.1 billion. Maple Trading System (MTS) is not robust enough to cater for all items

Challenges faced by unfunded players:
1) It is impossible for a team of unfunded players to successfully defeat a powerful boss monster (example: Cygnus is now limited to a team of 6 members, down from the previous limit of 18 members).
2) A substantial number of game events require @cash for participation.
3) Drop rates from more accessible bosses (example: Zakum) are horrible, especially for core skill books (example: Phantom Blow, Flame Wheel).
Challenges faced by funded players:
1) Certain requirements for bossing are redundant (example: Horntail requires 10 players surviving for drops to be given).
2) Drop rates from bosses are significantly lower compared to other Maplestory services, resulting in uneven sharing of benefits among team members. 
3) The game client is unstable when handling high demands required during bossing (example Chaos HornTail), resulting in player disconnections.

The second part of the letter will state the requests of the Maplers:

1) We would like to see greater actions in the control and eradication of hackers / botters. This includes more frequent policing in-game by GMs, an effective whistle blowing avenue in game and the targeting of hackers' “financial centres” in game. Players should be empowered to take action against hackers with measures such as the usage of Lie Detector Tests, the ability to submit in-game reports on offenders without daily limits.

2) We would like to have a more comprehensive trading system in game which will allow for trades to be conducted safely and honorably, within the rules stated in your Game Rules. This includes having provisions to trade items requiring scissors of karma (SOK), potential items (through MTS) and bulk amount of mesos (We are looking at amounts beyond 10 billion).

3) Pursuant to point 2, we would like to see measures taken on the ever depreciating value of the in game currency, mesos. Hyper inflation if left unchecked, would render higher meso caps on trade, useless eventually. The viable solution would be to implement a “monetary policy” which would, but not limited to, remove across the board a certain portion of mesos in circulation, also known as zero slashing. (Reference: “Will a monetary(mesos) policy work for MapleSEA?” thread on General Discussion of Playpark forums)

4) We would like to have our benefits to be on par, if not better, when compared to other Maplestory services. This includes generic drop rate for in game items, pricing of in game items, complimentary items from events and exclusive events. Citing the recent release of Angelic Buster, players in MapleStorySEA were only given a time limited scooter and Cash Item Shoe, as opposed to other services in which players received a full wardrobe of Cash Items and a permanent mount. Such a discrepancy is baseless and uncalled for.

5) We would like to have a more efficient system of incident management pertaining to issues faced in game (bug reports). A section of the official website should be devoted to the proactive announcement of bugs, and work in progress status of the fix. (References: “[Discussion] New Classes Patch Issues”, “All those intending to or are playing Kaiser, beware!” & “Invalid pointer fixed! Post results after fix!” threads on General Discussion of Playpark forums)

6) We would like to have a more comprehensive management of complaints, especially in the area of scams and trade dispute. Players should not be left to their own when they turn to official sources. Proper investigations must be carried out if the case warrants for it. Players should be given the benefit of the doubt instead of the inherent assumption that such reports are an attempt to “defraud” the game.

7) Pursuant to point 6, we would also like to see greater transparency in the interpretation of the rules and regulations of the game. Infractions or punishments meted out to offenders have to be justified. Subsequent acquittal or discharge of offenders should be fair and be to reasons acceptable to the community. Additionally, the proceedings of such investigations should be made public as and when the need arises. (Reference: “The Dark Side Of Asiasoft : Only the RICH survive” thread on General Discussion of Playpark forums. This thread have been raging on for three months)

8) We would like to see a revamp of the current system of bossing specifically in these areas: 
a) Removal of 10 member surviving for drops to be awarded in Horntail
b ) Increase in the maximum allowable participants for raids (Cygnus in particular)
c) Provision of means to rejoin the raid in the event of disconnection. 

9) We would like to see improvement in the following areas of game play:
a) Allowing multiple parties to enter the same Party Quest (PQ) in a single channel, specifically for popular PQs such as Romeo & Juliet. (References: “[Petition] To allow multiple parties to enter PQs per channel!” thread on General Discussion of Playpark forums)
b ) Removal of various fame level requirements to enter maps (example: Gate to the Future). The requirements have been proven to be ineffective in the deterrence of hackers, only to inconvenience players.
c) Refrain from giving nonsensical events which requires users to remain in the game for a prolonged period of time (Example: Men's & Ladies Night where participants need to remain online for more than 20 hours to get the highest tier rewards)

10) We would like to see a truly exclusive job(s) for MapleStorySEA that is reflective of local culture and heritage. ZEN does not count! it is a simple replication of an existing job which does not even have the game changing Hyper Skills.

In conclusion, players in MapleSEA appeared to have been given the “HARD” mode of the game to play based on the assumption that our players are superior or are more “efficient” compared to players of other MapleStory services. We would like to reiterate that this concept is flawed. Elite players do exist in every game, however, majority of the players are no where near the capabilities of such “elite” players. Your current policy of “giving less and expecting more” is unacceptable. The act of reducing benefits given to players and hoping for them to spend more is myopic and unsustainable.

We hope MapleStorySEA can be made into a more inclusive game whereby ALL players are able to enjoy the game. As the saying goes : Generosity begets Generosity. Stinginess impoverishes. 

Thank you for reading our letter, we hope to have your official reply by September 2013.

So as a member of a Cygnus party of 6, imagine my surprise when saw people in FM selling Cygnus weapons and equips (including hats) at ~1b meso. 

Be enchanted this Season 2 with the introduction of the Book of Magic!

Discard any similarities you see in this compared to Music Box. The rate you can obtain this items is simply insane.

1.5k a key, and its roughly an estimated 50% chance you get a SEASON 2 Cygnus weapon/Armor. Yes you got that right. For only 3k acash, you are almost guaranteed to get a Cygnus weap/armor!

My guild mate spend 60k on boxes, and got 30 pieces of Cygnus equips! So anyone who spent on Music box or anniversary boxes last few weeks to try to get new Cygnus weapons, yea well you got ripped off.


Now to all the F2P players out there, this is the best news maple has came out for years. You guys can now probably be decked out in FULL Cygnus gear for Less than max mesos! 

For all those who have spent $1000s in this game already, especially after season 2 to deal with the power creep from bosses, and use Cygnus as a slow method of recuperating money spent, this has been a game breaking move. Why would we even try to do weekly Cygnus runs anymore? The buffs and wheels we use now will probably be more expensive than what Cygnus drops in total after the flooding of these equipment. 

I don't know, I can see the merits for AS choice in this decision. Earn $10000s instantly from the mass flooding of Cygnus Equip into the market, but by doing so, this move has killed any potential of their old "big fishes" to continue spending anymore money in this game. Why spend anything getting stronger if the hardest boss in the game equips are worth less then the effort required to kill it? I'm sure many funded players will be ragequitting after spending so much on cubes (with the promotions and all) and getting stronger in season 2 (most probably because they want to defeat Cygnus and sell the gears), only to find out 1 month later that the market for Cygnus equips are totally ruined. 




PS:
Magnus was also just released today, but hard mode is hell hard (my party who downs Cygnus in 5 minutes tried today - after 30 mins in Hard Magnus, we had barely done 5% dmg of his hp LOL. And it wasn't even the balls that was the problem we barely died due to that, his HP is just so... thick...). Would anyone bother spending the $1000s more required to gear up to defeat him when his equips are probably not even going to cost that much since the little bit weaker Cygnus will be selling at <1b meso levels? haha




All in all, I'd have to say I'm a little happy for the move on AS part - F2P players finally got what they wanted. You no longer need to spend at all/alot (I know many unfunded players can make max meso with some effort) for a full Cygnus set. Me and my guild however, being on the funded sided has just decided that AS has majorly screwed us over, and are helpless after we dumped the money in as investment to go bossing lol.



Edit: From the derep I'm getting, I'm guessing everyone just hates me because I spend money in Maple? I already said this was a GOOD MOVE for free players. To put this into an analogy...
I am a chocolate manufacturer. I spend money on setting up my plant and work hard doing it. 1 day, Chocolate magically falls from the sky in an infinite amount. Can't blame a chocolate manufacturer for getting mad then when your investments in your factory and all is basically now worthless haha. We never had a monopoly, and Cygnus killers work hard improving their gear, setting up shops to sell, queuing through the morning in ungodly hours from 12-7 am in the past to attempt to even beat 100x hackers go get into Cygnus. Needless to say we're quite sad about this event right? 

Difficulty of Bosses in maplesea

$

Having played quite a number of MMORPGs, I feel that Maple is in a severe need of a Mathematician + a Strategist, especially in the way Bosses are designed.

Firstly, in most MMORPGs, the next release of bosses are usually accompanied with pathways to ensure that you are able to deal sufficient damage, and perhaps at times with some improvements to the gear such as "cubing" and "scrolling", minimal focus on gear, higher focus on skills. This gives is some linearity in moving up the chain of bosses and difficulty.

Secondly, boss mechanics are simply too strange to be true, with the current bosses being divided into Super Easy "Likes of Zakum and Horntail" VS Super Hard "Like CPB, Cyg and of cos Hard Magnus". Potion lock itself is bad enough, but having the boss mechanics run in such a way that Potion Lock can be casted consecutively with Zombiefied means only one thing - sure death. Seduce + 1/1... I believe many of you have encountered this as well... I know how bad it sucks... Although status avoidability is introduced subsequently, Maple came up with something even better... Mass 1HKO skills within the same boss (Magnus)... WOW...

Thus regarding the steepness of slope in terms of difficulty of bosses, and how the focus is more on gears rather than skills for Maple, feel free to share your thoughts!

P.S: If Normal Magnus does not drop Magnus Coin (they only drop Shadow Merchant Coins), then why call it Magnus in the first place (They should rename it into Shadow Merchant in Magnus Form)? 

[Discussion] Shark tooth vs Magnus Gear

I've been wondering, which gears would be better out of the scenarios:

Scenario 1 [Tyrant shoe, and cape not used, Cygnus shoulder used]
-7 Set Full cygnus equipments:
Why this is good: 55wa, 30% boss and 30% hp/mp
-Tyrant belt

Scenario 2 [Tyrant shoe or cape not used, Cygnus shoulder used]
-6 Set Full cygnus equipments:
Why this is good: 40 wa, 30% boss and 15% hp/mp
-Tyrant belt
-Tyrant cape/shoe

Scenario 3 [All 3 tyrant equipments used, Cygnus shoulder used]
-5 set Full cygnus equipments
Only bonus left: 15wa, 15% hp/mp

Scenario 4 [All 3 tyrant equipments used, applicable to warriors and thieves only]
-NONE of the cygnus equipments used
-3 tyrant equipments used.
-Top and bottom gives more % stat.

I honestly feel scenario 4 would give the best overall damage boost because tyrant equipments gives a crazy amount of stat boost. However, I also think that only emitting 1 part of the tyrant equipment and giving 30% more boss damage actually might be able to overcome scenario 4. Which scenario do you guys think is the best equipment configuration?
