I refer specifically to areas/bosses like: Kerning Square Mushroom Kingdom Ereve (no cygnus knights) Malaysia Scarlion/Targa Pink Bean Maybe even some things that came a little later if possible: Balrog (PQ) Dragon Rider PQ Neo City Chaos Zakum Reason: While I appreciate that this is a nostalgic server, the v62 nostalgia wears thin at times, particularly in the 4th job levels where the end game content is fairly limited. I think some of the areas/bosses I mentioned would only add to the playing experience without breaking the nostalgic immersion. Remember: part of the preBB Maplestory experience was getting updates that provided new content. Discuss?
It is definitely not time to add new content yet while our existing content is still not fully functional. Maybe in the future at some point I would like to see things like Kerning square mushroom castle and Ellin forest. But right now definitely not.
I'm very against anything that starts with "Chaos", it's one of the things that screwed up the official server as well as KoC/Aran (in general it's just OP). If there's a need for a stronger boss, I only support up to Pink Bean being released, and anything else is a no no for me.
I agree, it'd be very very nice to have new features, but regardless of what we think, that's most likely not to happen anytime soon. neo city is possibly the highest "maybe" on this subject, as it has been discussed before and the feedback has been... optimistic at least.
Yeah I figured. For what it's worth, I was speaking from my experience playing Royals in 2015 back on the old source; I just remember me and most of my old guild members getting burned out repeating the same things over and over at level 120+. Obviously a fully functional server should be prioritized though. No complaints.
How does a boss screw things up? Classes I get, because they overcentralize the meta (mind you, so do Bishops), but I don't see the harm in a boss like Chaos Zakum. Mind you, I was just looking up the boss list on bbb.
i really don't know the issue with some people in the staff with such an unecessary conservative way of thinking towards maplestory, also what makes the game unbalanced are buffs and nerfs not classes at all. Spoiler: ^^ also heroes aren't so far behind aran and koc, might as well delete the class from the game am i right?
I agree with adding PB and scar/targa. I just have one concern if this were to happen in the future. What would happen with all the dragon end game weapons like sleeves or shiners. Does adding PB means adding reverse and timeless weapons too?
So with Chaos Zakum, what's next? Chaos Horntail? Chaos Pink Bean? It's a never ending situation. Before we even talk about Chaos Zakum, let's see if the current population is able to down Pink Bean first. Perhaps then we'll see if anymore bosses should be added along the way. Don't get me wrong. I'm commenting as a player myself and this has nothing to do with me being a staff or not. Who knows there are other staffs who are pro-Chaos bosses? But definitely not me. Personally back in the days, the moment Chaos bosses were introduced, that's when I start to feel the contents getting a little out of hand, because players are just able to get better and better items, which led to them being able to achieve higher damage cap. Sooner or later, they'll reach the cap of 199,999. Then we'll see someone who suggests for damage cap to be increased. Then one thing will lead to another. Maybe I'm a little exaggerating on KoC and Aran. Don't get me wrong because I enjoyed KoC for a fair bit. In fact I played all jobs and got all to 120. I just don't find the point of introducing it because it's a character that won't go far into the game. I played Aran too, and generally I just find it to be quite OP with its combo and skills.
Sounds good to me. What's the problem? I'd be ecstatic with Pink Bean. I like the idea of everyone aspiring to take down an extremely difficult boss that seems impossible, as opposed to the 3 daily boss routines people here have been completing for years. Brings a bit of freshness and competition.
I would hope for the contents to be a few steps behind BBB, not 1 patch BEFORE the Big Bang. Then again, it's my opinion so I don't think there's anything to debate about. I'm also ecstatic for Pink Bean (I want that MW30 ). I would definitely give my support for PB to be released in the future. On a side note, I'm okay with Chaos Zakum being released, but should it be released, that means Malaysia will also be released because Chaos Zakum's helm stats are better than Scarlion/Targa. Then again, the idea of Malaysia was ruled out awhile ago, while I'm still being hopeful it will be released someday in the future. At the end of the day...I just hope to not see this....
I Complete agree with Kai regarding Chaos bosses; It's one of the things that ruined the game. I would prefer each boss to be unique; it has the nostalgia feel in it. Regarding PB, DEFINITELY. Though they might have to remove/increase the time limit because PB is too hard to deal with using only v62 classes&items. Another option would be to nerf PB. BUT, way before releasing PB or any new content in general, it is more important to fix the content that already exists on the server, and most importantly the DC problem. You can go on a 3 hour PB run when you game crashes approx every 15 mins. Oh and if they ever release PB, they can just disable timeless weapons if it feels too op.
You'd have to release timeless weapons to make pink bean worthy. MW30 alone isn't really worth since you have a very high chance to fail the run, and even if you succeed you might get other books instead. Even if you get the book there are like 30 people in the run so the split will be low.
In general: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/suggestion-for-this-server.9515/ ^. I believe there are also other similar threads.
they still think way too much of the people who spent billions on their weapons and blah blah blah i think it's pretty unlikely they will ever release timeless and reverse weapons
