I heard rumours about V.83 coming out, I was wondering if Potential would be added into the game if this happened. I would also like to know if we were going to keep all of our characters if the update happened (I assume we will). EDIT: I was also wondering if there could be some sort of Q&A if this rumour is true. (I couldn't dig anything out of the forums but that may be cause im lazy )
Everything is still up in the air and none of the admins will confirm nor deny anything, but I highly doubt that we will get potentials.
Basically they don't deny nor accept the rumour but I think Matt said in the Pinkbean topic that IF it happens they remove all the v83 addons that break the game and a wipe wouldn't happen Source: http://royals.ms/forum/threads/staff-opinion-on-pink-bean.21166/
I will assume that v.83 is coming out, I just really want to know if I would be wasting my time making a new character and it being reset. About 2 years ago royals reset to change the server to lower rates .
I can tell you as former staff member that the admins will never add potentials, since according to them and many others, it'd ruin the nostalgic experience of pre-BB Maple. As for Pink Bean, I don't know, but I don't see it coming in the foreseeable future. Also @DrPepper, don't fear a wipe, since I know that the last thing that the admins would want is a server wipe. They'd rather close the server, probably.
Things that are available in v0.83 that I think would hurt the server are KoC, Arans, level 120 weapons and other smaller op accessory items, Scarlion & Targa helmets, Galloperas, Scissors of Karma, Vicious Hammers & the Maker skill.
Getting Vicious Hammers would change things up a bit haha Also: 10.000th Post in General discussion =D
I agree that Vicious hammers, Scissors of Karma, Maker skills and those level 120 weapons would hurt the server. Maybe Arans aswell, though I'm not 100% sure about that. As for KoC, I assume you would consider them to be hurtful to the server because of the damage bonus they give to other characters? I personally do'nt see that as a major issue, and I think it's far frm gamebreaking. Scar & Targa helmets aren't that much better than zak helms, I don't see the harm in those, though the droprate should probably be lowered compared to GMS. Galloperas can easily be nerfed, and as such I do'nt consider them to be harmful.
Arans aren't even good. Not sure how they would "hurt the server." (Judging by the progress we've seen on bucc skills, i doubt they'd ever be playable anyway). Once again, I am here scratching my head at people who claim scar/targa helms are overpowered. 4 extra stats is nothing. Shouldn't you guys be rioting about the godly system? Gallos - so everyone gets to 120 slightly faster. Whatever. V83 is a great version and was the peak of pre-bb gms.
@workteam @Goofy you're allowed to have your opinions. I joined MapleRoyals because it was a v0.62 server. I didn't want KoC or Arans or the Malaysian Theme Park, and I still don't.
I get where you're coming form, but at some point a server does need to 'progress' (couldn't think of a better word) to survive. I'm sure the staff will find a way to change things if they are found to be gamebreaking. #FaithInKevin
KoC would be bad because it would make it so an SI mule is extremely easily obtainable, at least that's why I don't want them in Royals. I think v0.83 is a great version except for Sok and Vicous hammers. We would get Dojo, Medal and belt slots. Even if you only get medals from events or something, it would still be nice to have them. Also I think the addition of Arans would be awesome, I seriously don't expect this to happen. Woldspiders is one of the more popular training areas for levels 75-95, and they drop Pole arm attack 70% scrolls, The addition of Arans would help players make a little bit of money in their early levels.
This was one of the most questionable update in the history of Maplestory, in my opinion. Not only is the level cap 120, but you essentially devalue almost every major 4th job skill.
Well theres gotta be at least some thins to do, wont we get tired of the same content? The maker skill I see being a small issue but lvl 120 weapons, hammers and SoK are fine IMO. Hammers just allow equips to be that slight bit better, I know its a change but its not like these changes would be bad.
If v83 were to be added I'm pretty positive that SoK wouldn't be added. Not sure about hammers but I'd hope not. As for the classes, idk. I feel like the staff has a lot on their plate and don't really have time to code more classes. Personally I have no issues with the rest of the content besides maker skill. 120 weps would add incentive to killing Pink Bean, Scarlion and Targa helms aren't that OP, and I kinda like training at galloperas.
