With this whole CWKPQ thing being in the works, HTP/MoN debacles have come quite heated from both sides of the fence Majority of players that already have HTP don't wan't to see Mark of Naricain to overpower their pendants they spent however long getting, They don't want to give up their Pendant selling services, or see majority of new players have (easy access) to a pendant early game that overpowers their own, I'ts understandable that you feel this way because you have invested the time *however long* to get your RNG pendants. coming from my perspective that is a nasty way of wanting to stay on top instead of giving new players a way to have an extra bit of damage to help them out. this is the way the game was designed pure and simple, and to not want players to progress is just harmful in general regardless of how hard you worked for it. Example: I spent 11 months of my life doing badge exchange because that was the only way to obtain materials needed for furies, I didn't have to do it but I did. now, with CWKPQ coming out, all *MY* hard work was for nothing, since players can just do this PQ and get drops compared to farming hours on end for ETC items to wait 24 hours each time to hand in 50 badges for your random reward. Now with that being said, would it be fair to me, no of course not, and of course I would be pissed, It's only natural. Would it be fair of me to ask that Taos be removed completely from the PQ because I had to grind endlessly to obtain what I wanted and keep them only exclusive to the badge exchange with the 24 hour timer? I Think so, even though 100% of you wouldn't agree with me, its only fair right? Do you see where I'm going with this? Because It's only fair to the small majority that have already done it, just wrecks it for new players in general by only appeasing to the ones that did it. Feel free to leave your comments below, however nasty, pour your hearts out and say whats really on your mind And stay on topic.
Every nerf i ever suggested hurts me heavily. All my bossing characters are fully washed, I sell leech with telecast, i summon farm with auto hp/mp. I wouldn't mind changes that hit all those areas hard just to bring back a little of what royals used to be, but the majority of the users on this forum are heavily against these kinds of nerfs.
Making it easy for newer players - that's how Bigbang and everything else started. It only gets a few changes, and a flood of more demands for changes that will make it easier for newer players will ensue. Who cares if players leave because they're frustrated and playerbase declines? Many of us will still have fun and nostalgia regardless of the playerbase - even if it is down to a 100, and so we should put an end to any changes whatsoever. Don't let the never ending cascade of demands/changes to start.
Royals is the opposite, it's too hard on new players. It's harder to grind with a partner at dreamy ghosts, finding a party to grind with, a party for pqs. Standards have changed too since most people are hp washing, leeching and have multiple boss mules available.
Your logic with comparing HTP and MoN to Taos doesn't make any sense. As soon as getting Taos was possible the staff told everybody to just wait until the PQ to grind them, although it was still possible. Some people took it as a challenge to make the stars and good for them. People have been trying to perfect their pendants for years thinking that it is the best item in the slot. Those are not the same situations at all. Retroactively ruining someone's effort is a terrible thing to do in a game like MapleRoyals. MoN shouldn't be the best pendant. iirc HTP even has a higher level requirement at 120 compared to MoN's 110. It should be quite a very good pendant, but not the best.
Because of the subjectivity involved, we should not change anything as it will change the game as we know it. If people want to leave (may be the cause for the declining playerbase), they do so on their own will. As "fun" and "nostalgia" are also subjective, many of us will still have fun even if the playerbase is 10. Therefore, we should not change anything and let people do what they want.
This is a game that gets server checks, patches and has been doing so for over 3 years. Maybe what you say would be relevant if this was a month after this server was made.
what you just said proves my point in its entirety, because you spent time making it, you don't want change. I apologize if what I said doesn't make sense to you.
My favorite part about this server is the endless contradictions. Someone said that we should just keep bringing new content to Scania when I asked about a new world. Here, Im realizing, that people want new content, but they don't want it at the same time. Because here we are, about to release new content(CWKPQ), but we don't want MoN unless its nerfed cuz it will replace HTP and people don't wanna replace it because they thought it would be BiS??? Everyone is the same lmao. Only want something when it benefits them :/
@Aven There are only 3 reasons anyone in this server argues: 1) To benefit themselves 2) For the sake of arguing (you see a small flaw, you nitpick and argue) 3) To genuinely improve the goddamn server but people are busy doing 1 & 2 above - which is why I gave up :/
I mean, I really don't care what happens with the server. If it gets to a point I believe is unplayable, i'll just stop playing lmao. Having an opinion doesn't mean you have to die by it. If people don't want what you're suggesting, you can't do anything about that. The only reason to post anything here is to convince Admins/Mods to consider it. I could care less about what New Player 101293 / Vet player 141 has to say about my opinion.
i completely agree. if ppl just want to nerf everything good that is going on, maybe we should all just quit our chars and go back to maple island. let's grind orange mushroom till someone get lv 200 islander. it doesn't seem too rational for me. the game is offering content - some of it (such as HT/ PB) requires high range, one way to get that high range is via MoN. so they want to nerf it so the top 5% players who do HT don't get mad. but they do want to diminish the need in HP wash which will make the top 25% player of the server upset. i'm offering something else. don't nerf anything. play it like your title says. nostalgic maple story! leave the masterpiece as is.
