Nostalgic ships

Back in GMS days ships from continent to continent were always there with there wait times now I know it would be a pain for a lot of people instead of having the speed threw but there are some points that I think are worth it.

- meeting people on every ship ride and being able to chat and talk on the ship
- mini games on the ship
- balrogs being killed more often xd
- it would work for a small but fair meso/nx sink (teleport rocks would be worth more)

I know a lot of people won't want this to change but I think in the end it's worth while.
I personally preferred the waiting period between continents and was looking to here others opinions.

 

I agree. I was really disappointed that you could skip the waiting time. Chatting with people on the ships was always so much fun back in the day.

 

The only one I liked is between orbis and vic cuz of the crog, the others are boring since there's not really much to do lol

 

I think ships shouldnt be mandatory however i feel we need an incentive to right ships. Like crogs dropping leafs 25% or idk something nice

 

I wouldn't mind the idea of ships back but I feel like they should be drastically reduced in terms of the wait time on them. Perhaps, normal ticket costs the normal price (3k I believe) while if you want to skip it, it would cost ~2m (as that is the current price of teleport rocks).

 

I don't think we need an incentive to take the ship ride Balrogs dropping leafs would be to easy to farm (go back and forth all day for no)

 

Also keep in mind that balrogs don't always spawn on a boat ride.

 

I would literally quit if we had to wait for the boat.

 

@Goofy why? 10 min boat ride isn't that bad I like the convenience of fast travel but for nostalgia and a small mess sink I think it would be good for server ( me so sink as in more tele rocks being used for the actual purpose to travel and skip boat )

 

tele rocks being used is a nx sink, not a meso sink.

imo they should just increase the cost of the skip by a specific amount, but it needs to be a carefully chosen amount to make sure its a fair tradeoff. imo something between 100k and 600k

 

If this were to be implemented keep Tp rocks at the current NX price (normal Tp rocks works everywhere)

I would hate having to wait forever on a boat ride and the Tp rocks that should be used cross continent are very expensive.

 

MapleRoyals isn't GMS 2006, and shouldn't try to be. Here we have the freedom of getting rid of any thing that was mostly an annoyance and slowed down the gameplay (why do you think the exp rate is 4x and not 1x?)

I.e boat rides should not be mandatory, imo.

 

Very subjective statement. This game is meant to be very fast paced. Waiting to get from point A to point B while taking anything over 5 minutes is way too long. This wouldn't even be considered a small meso sink, it'd be borderline redundant.

 

+1 from me. too easy=no fun

LF>Disabled tp rocks too

 

There's going to be alot of resistance against a change like this, especially this late into the server after 1+ year.
But just in theory, this suggestion is great. I don't really see why ships were ever removed (or made skippable). Maplestory v62 was not meant to be a fast-paced game and I don't think that a low rate server should differ too much from that. And about telerocks or nx in general, imo it's been a mistake from the first days of making private servers to make nx easily obtainable. Items like telerocks were never meant to be used regularly.

 

Out of experience from a server that no longer exist; adding "negative"* GMS-like content very late in a server may cause a lot of riots and other dramatic responses

*By negative I refer to things that make the server harder or slower.

Also, I would first wait until they fix boat animations on the new source, because non-stop clicking on the NPC to see if boats arrived was even for the 3 times I had to do it very tedious.

Also, what @Matt says is very true. There's still teleport rocks to bypass it, because NX is free.

 

For meso sink I ment as people would sell tele rocks for more mesos I don't see how it's ment to be a fast paced is say a mid range paced game again my opinion as much as I like the fast travel but ship rides were awesome even if all you did was avoid rogs but what made them was seeing 10+ people each ride it's kinda mixed review at the moment

 

Thats why we need an incentive to ride ships. Something with crogs since they dont spawn 100% of the time. Tbh i like nostalgia. Who doesnt like nostalgia??? boats are nostalgic!

 

That's not how meso sinks work.
