Previously on this server there has been a few times where there has been scheduled 2x exp/drop events because of rollbacks/downtime, so if you've been around for those "events" you should know that scheduled 2x exp events is the worst thing ever. Every map will be full for hours before the event starts, server lags, people start ksing and no matter what time its scheduled there is always some timezone that benefit more than others. While new source might reduce the server lag I still don't think 2x exp is a good idea I understand that if a rollback or anything like that would happen that staff might want to compensate for the progress that people lost. But then i would prefer if people were given 2x exp/2x drop coupons if possible.
Funny thing is, that's how it was in actual server. That was how 2x events were. Saying this actually destroy the nostalgia is actually the most bullshit argument I've heard so far. And I'm referring to the person above you.
Lol don't be saying my response was bullshit. Think before you speak mate. Was nexon's servers 4x xp stock? Nope it wasn't. If we used 2x coupons here it would bump it up to 8x. Vs the 4x on their servers. So yes it would ruin some nostalgia in certain cases.
We are already playing at 4x normally. Bumping it up to 8x is the same shit happened to us back then; from 1x to 2x. We are still receiving twice the amount of XP. The ratio is the same. What nostalgia are you talking about? Stop being blinded by "nostalgia". Do you feel nostalgic leveling up your character from 1 to 30 in less than a day here? Because that kind of leveling didn't happen to any of us back then, unless you really go hardcore 24hrs playing nonstop with 2x ticket activated.
It's not quite the same because the larger the multiplier the more you snowball from it. As stupid as this may sound, training for an hour under 8x exp is not the same as training for 2 hours under 4x. The only time where they're the same is if you're training statically but once you factor in bosses that take a set amount of time to kill within the small time frame of 2x given the more out of hand it gets. I don't think we need a 2x exp but I'm also not against it, it's just not necessary in an already high rate server even if it's for "compensation". I find it funny how people are still using nostalgia as their main source of argument... we just switched to v83 and our server has always had plenty of things that aren't v62-like even before this update. It's fine if you don't agree with 2x exp but please stop saying it's for the sake nostalgia.
potential earned during update is same as lost for me. my cheap mind thinks one way trolololol. MESO PLOX 2x exp thanx
The reason 2x exp events are rare is because: They were rare to begin with on GMS. The rates are already inflated rather high which makes lvling much easier than original maplestory. They want the feel of mapleroyals to be as real and nostalgic as GMS and with regular 2x exp events, it could discourage people to train and could make people level faster than they already are. I have only seen 2x exp be offered as a form of compensation for something extremely wrong, much worse than extending a patch by a few days.
Were 2x exp events that rare in gms? It wasn't the most regular thing around but i think i remember it happening reasonly often. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the year that ive played here I recall only one 2x exp event ever happening?
Yes, they were quite common, as were people using 2x exp cards. That's why our rates are 4x, and we don't have 2x exp cards or 2x exp events!
Wow i really thought more people would agree with me.. huh. With games such as battlefield one and rocket league available i've almost completely moved on from Maplestory because it gets sooo boringgg and i've started to realize grinding is not fun it is actually like work and if im going to work hard with minimal fun its going to be in the gym, at school, or at work. I'll still make my 2am high-as-fuck appearances most likely to LMPQ, but other than that ehhhhh the nostalgia is being overtaken by the realization of mediocrity
So you just want these events to get stronger faster, am i right? , I speak for myself but i think most ppl here would agree with me, this server allows you to get stronger fast enough. We don't need regular 2xp events.
