v83

3 Reasons to play v83 over v62.

1. MW 30 is available
2. MW 30 is available
3. MW 30 is available

 

Just a question : what happens if majority votes against the wipe and against v83?

or does that even matter?

it sounds like the decision was made before this poll was even put up.

considering you're already testing v83.

but again, just thought i'd ask for clarification, so I'm not just speculating.

 

After actually trying out v83 there are sooo many problems, Since of the lagg on the server you can complete a quest over and over and over again and get the rewards for it. Most of like job advancements don't work why would should we waste the time fixing stuff already when we have a perfectly working server?

 

MW30 is available in the server we just don't have enough people to kill horntail.

 

correction, we have the people, we dont have a working horntail.

THAT in my opinion, should be our priority.

also, i notice you have bot h the v83 and v62 up and running at the same time.

is there any reason way it cant stay like this?

please respond

 

mw30 does not exist in V62 .
and in V83 Pink bean drops it...

 

Some of you may or may not know me by name, but I've been active on various low rates private servers of v55, v62 and v83 in the last couple of years and can relate very well with how it feels when your progress just gets washed away, lost...

I've seen a very fair amount of the low-rates servers start out, grow and die out again and I have met great people of all kinds along the way.
Ultimately, though, my personal preference does go out to v83 because it just has much more end-game content to offer. v62 is more nostalgic, the journey to 120 is so much more varried (no stupid hardcore chimney grinding) yes, but it will just be... dull.. after that. I love magatia, malasya, temple of time, CWK, Aran and whatever v83 has to offer over v62.

I will honestly have to leave this to the community of MapleRoyals to decide on, as I have only recently joined and do not feel as though I have a vote to speak out.
I will, however, most definitely join if there will be an upgrade to v83.

It is true that there are simply no other v83 low rates servers around anymore with the shut down of MapleFables. (I consider anything above 4/4/4 to be high rates, so the couple of servers out there with 12, 16, etc. rates are definitely no low-rate servers IMHO.) It will take a fair while to get everything up and properly running and I do agree that there is still a lot to be done to the Alpha Server.

Just wanted to give my two cents about how I can relate very well that wipes and changes are very painful to go through, I've been going through them well enough, but it will bring you a fair amount of positive changes just as well.

It doesn't matter. Months earlier we had a poll to decide whether or not to lower the drop rate of the server. Most people voted no. The drop rate was lowered.

Getting Pink Bean to even work is a whole separate issue. In case you haven't played during the pre-potential era, only one server, Windia, was able to kill pink bean during this version and it was done by veteran players who organized the run perfectly and only succeeded after multiple attempts. Not a server that complained about bishops,gacha, and exp rates.

If MW30 even dropped during that run, the person who got it had a 50% chance of passing it. It's nice to have pride in the server, but saying we can kill it regularly is like saying we're better than the people who played years on the many main servers back in v83.

 

I'm fine with it being moved to v.83, i just want to know if a mac client will be available, which is the reason we joined this server. (Me and my gf)
I also believe the rates should still stay the same at 10x

 

this. and pink bean has more map crashing glitches than any other boss i have ever encountered in any version of maplestory.

 

One is being worked on as several staff members also have Macs.

 

I feel the details of this are very important Matt. If it isn't going to be flat wipe, and some benefits will carry over, that could greatly affect the vote. Also, could you please provide a list of features you will be disabling?

I understand you are still thinking things over, but at this point there is a lot of speculation that is just making people uneasy.

 

What are you talking about? It's not available. You actually think we could EVER kill Pink Bean? Lol nope.jpg. Look at Destiny. They STILL haven't downed it and they're 16x exp with OP items. And if the GMs were to just give it out for something other than killing PB, that would be incredibly stupid. So no. It's fine if you vote for v83, but do NOT do so because you expect PB/MW30.

 

Remember, this is merely a poll. It's nothing definite.

Don't ask for further specifics like when a wipe might happen, what version we're going to be, what you'll get for playing/testing.

Why? Because we don't know. That's why we're taking a poll. To get a reading on everyone's thoughts/feelings about the situation BEFORE making a decision.

We can't give you answers based on a decision we haven't made yet.



P.S. That means DO NOT use the in-game report system to ask questions of this nature. You will not get an answer. Nor will you get an answer by smega'ing repeatedly.

Just be patient.

 

How about those of us who are reluctant to play now due to the wipe lingering over us? I've been on this server for a week now, and was greatly looking forward to my 3rd job change today. Now it seems like any progress I make will be erased, leading me to wonder why I should play.

I know you guys don't have all the details figured out yet, and I understand you have some hard choices to make. At the same time I don't like being trapped in Limbo.

At a minimum, I would like a estimate of when the wipe / update will happen.

I don't think it is unreasonable to ask that. If it isn't going to be happening for weeks, then I'll continue to play right now. If it's going to be later this week, I don't see any reason to keep playing.

 

I support the change to v83 however the rates should still be the same. If we are going to decrease the rates, I think I'm one of many who will just change to another server with v83 with the same/higher exp rates than MapleRoyals.

 

You should keep playing regardless. If you are playing Saturday night, what difference does it make whether it's levelling a character from 70-71 or from level 1-21?

Regardless you're still playing the game, and I don't know about you but my number one reason for playing is for hanging with friends and secondary reason is to grind.

 

I've spoken to a few people including Ali about this extensively, and weighed the options heavily. A few points I'd like to make. None of this is directed at anybody in particular, no flames and ruining the thread like I did on the last one, and I apologize for that.

1. If you're going to wipe, do it sooner rather than later. People are so worried about it that they're reluctant to play, so don't beat around the bush on this one.

2. To everyone who is sub 14x and saying the server is fine the way it is, you are not in the position to make such a claim, so don't. I'm not saying your opinion is invalid, but you are basing claims off experience you do not have.

3. If you're going to wipe, v83 should be a necessity, or the same problems arise later on, as well as the same bugs being present, plus losing a part of the community. Different path to the same destination.

4. If you do decide to upgrade to v83, I would not remove too much, if any, of the v83 content, or it kills the point of upgrading. (Although I'm 100% for removing Wheel of Destiny.)

5. To everyone saying "Go play a lower rate v83 server if you want low rate v83." Please take 1 min out of your day and go to Gtop100, there are NO and I repeat NO v83 servers with LOWER rates that are of equal or greater quality. This argument holds no merit. Let me make this very clear, we are pushing for LOWER rates. Reading comprehension.

6. To everyone screaming nostalgia and how v83 isn't nostalgic, then subsequently advocating tons of custom content, what are you talking about? Custom content kills the nostalgia just as much as a version upgrade, with fewer benefits. Absolutely no logic here.

7. To those not wanting v83 due to Bishop nerfs, stop. You are still an absolute necessity in parties due to HS/Resurrection/Dispel/Healing/Mob Control/Door. You still level insanely fast, you just aren't able to go easy mode lukless anymore. You stop being the solo powerhouse you used to be, which is the way it should be. You're support, not god, and it makes the other 2 Mage classes obsolete in its current state.

That being said, I am in favor of either a wipe and v83 upgrade with the v86 Balance Patch tweaks implemented to advocate class variety, or if you go the route of opening a 2nd server, make that server low rate v83 with the same changes. 5x is my recommendation. No Wheel of Destiny, no CoK (seems like a massive waste of time to code something so pointless, but if its already there I wouldn't honestly care, as long as its presence doesn't take away valuable time from things that matter), perhaps make NX a tad harder to obtain to cut down on use of things like SoK, Vega's Spell, Hammers, etc. Thanks for taking the time to hear me out, and I anxiously await your decision

EDIT: Just saw that you guys are Alpha testing v83. Gonna be on that like stink on shit tomorrow. Very excited

 

Don't misinform others. It is possible to update from v62 to v83 without wiping the database.

 

Bishops are still best lukless and still have spammable genesis in v83.
