Hello, Lowly here once again. To get my bias out of the way let me say that I am currently one of the top Islanders on Maple Island, however I have played to extreme end game with a 200 shad that had over 12k range as well as a 190 Washed BM and a couple fourth job mages. I have played the game from top to bottom and am not solely stuck on Islanding. I am suggest adding a Storage NPC to Maple Island for several overall quality of life reasons: This would get rid of the need for Island Carry mules that are used for Mage and Washing characters. Reduce time on repetitions of Maple Island character creations Reduce try hard efforts in mid maxing washing characters Allow full quest completion of Island without over leveling (Quest Specialist etc) Islanding reasons: Add cosmetic items to diversify what is normally seen past what is already available through Cash Shop Previous Feedback that I would like to cover before someone mentions it and we get sidetracked as well as the response to said feedback: Monster sacks will cause issues! You cannot use monster sacks on Maple Island Last thing Admins need to worry about is Maple Island content. Completely agree that no resources should be added to custom content solely for Maple Island but this would streamline objectives for all players. This ruins Islanding. There is nothing that Islanders can use that will make it faster killing an 80 hp monster more than already exists. Implementation: Adding a singular storage NPC to a central location as a permanent fixture would be a plug and play option that would be extremely viable to not waste efforts or take priority off other more needed fixes. Quick, simple and effective.
it does ruin islanders and it makes thee start too easy, you can give all the etc you need. islanders have fun min-maxing their gear on what they can get. what you are suggesting is pretty much cancel the concept of islanders, whats the point of and islander with cgs and perfect begginer weapons?
This is a truly elegant solution to problems I've heard being talked about as to lack of items. At first I thought it might be exploited and a bad idea, but when I think about it, it would not matter at all gameplay wise except the opportunity to scroll literal "cosmetics" that dont impact the game at all. I'd love snowshoes on instead of gomunshin for example. I'd love to be able to scroll items for fun just to use them on maple island -- imagine a Red Whip and other fun items that are truly ignored by other classes or even perma beginners outside of Maple Island. The only reason for this Storage NPC to not be added would be some exploit or game ruining clash for starter players or some exploit I can't really think of that would result in some annoyance for somebody. If there are no legitimate "game ruiners" that we can think of, surely it's a strong argument for the addition of such NPC. And surely, from a dev stand point, this would be easily done, given the fact that we've had the Pet Food npc and event/hair ones added in recent times. Unless we can brainstorm a way in which this could impact the game negatively in any way, I'd say this would be a bigger and more fun update than any item/event/ or any such idea even I've had in the past regarding Islanders. Its either something as easy and elegant as this or keep the niche community as dead as it is and never ever update anything out of fear that any change=bad. In a sense they don't matter. They become (in effect) cosmetics. What good is a 250 att Maroon Mop when you one hit enemies doing more than 80 lower range damage already. The endgame isn't at all damage. If anything the endgame "upgrade" for an islander is speed/jump.
You just dont understand islanders... They care about their range and damage even if it "doesn't matter". I just dont get this suggestion, you might aswell just cancel maple island and spawn people str8 on victoria at level 10, whats the point?
I guess the question is who are you in the islanding community to talk for them? Because this discussion has been very alive for the last three years. I'm the owner of the islanding discord and the current highest level islander. I'm thinking I understand it more than anybody else lol. Ultimately there a few variables to this that are absolutely facts: Pumpkin sword which is an obtainable current island weapon is irreplaceable by any off island weapon as the #1 tier on the meta. Once you hit 80 base damage and 140 speed and 123jump you've hit cap and anything over that is irrelevant. Just like any other game if you think it's poses a threat to the way you play it then don't participate. I'm tired of irrelevant non islander people trying to have a say on what the community wants.
