Global MapleStory Tespia: Now Closed (Big Bang inside)

Well, maybe not Shadow Partner. but certain things were upped in the amount of SP they need. I guess I'm concerned that my existing characters (Cleric, Fighter, Hermit) are going to have some issues with what skills to end up with, come BigBang time.

No skills had their point cap increased.

Nope. Many skills are reduced in SP cost, none were increased.

I am disappoint to see that they still haven't fixed Tespia's server issues (such as 15-20 second lag after talking in all chat) and haven't listened to my suggestions for improvement (such as Cody giving out skillbooks and at least the items needed for the job advancements).



I guess we can expect them to finish the round without even fixing them.

At least now we know that Tespia isn't monitored AT ALL.

You mean Tespia is for something other than testing classes at high levels to see if you like em?!

I'm surprised Tespia is actually open during scheduled server checks. o.o

.........it was that easy? =(

-open each sprite of skill in photoshop-
-Ctrl + U-
-change the Hue number to the color u like-
-save-
BAM! and ur done

Yup, it's supposed to be.

They should've at least increased the drop rates to make it easier to get the items needed for the job advancements, but noooo. They had to make us work the hard way. Makes completely no sense. They could've as well not given out 200 levels to everyone then. One would think that if they gave us so many free levels, they'd also give us the old Cody..

 Spoiler

.. which surely made things a lot easier. Now, I'm not saying it should be like a Private Server. Maybe that Cody gave out way too much stuff, leading people to consider it a Private Server. But they should've either raised the drop rates or made him give out the essential job advancement items and skillbooks, to make testing smoother. Most of the people spend at least 2 or 3 days getting the stuff for the 3rd and 4th Job Advancement quest, while that time could've been used to test areas and skills.

It's because Tespia is a totally separate server.

I still don't get the point of putting immediately an NPC that gives you Skillbooks, Reverse Gear, and level ups to 200.
In fact, they should have done it more likely JMST was, after some days the level up to 70 is authorized, then 120, and 150+.
.
This is helpful for the fact they want you to test other areas, there was a bug, for example, on Kerning Square on JMST. Who the pineapple would bother testing a level 4x training area or 2nd job skills with a level 200 character?
Ninety percent of the screenshots or videos i've seen were just boss solos or showoff screenshots around Basil.
The thing i'm trying to point out is that they kinda forgot the purpose of Testing, when it turned worse than the first round of Tespia, where people just used to get to 164, kill the hell out of all bosses like they were in the real maple, while forgetting the purpose of testing.
.
Actually, no one would bother using some second job skills or such, when they have shiny fourth job new skills to pineapple the hell off monsters. It wasn't wise indeed to let players go to 200 like immediately.
Correct me if i'm wrong about this, but i don't really think that anyone would bother checking normal training spots for each level when they are 200 already.
.
Regardless, Slow seems very useful with -80 speed.

Heh, totally. I'm getting progressively sick of seeing "So and so has leveled to 200" showing up on my screen. I'm still 120. I tested low level things, 1st and 2nd job advancements, then played around at 70. Tried to get a feel for the skills on each job. Job advanced again. Wanted to do more testing but being high level with a lvl 35 axe blows, so i had to get to 120 and use the timeless gear. Went up in el nath to see how the yetis are (they are incredibly high level now compared to before). Im gonna try a few questlines as a 120 Crusader, then advance again.

I really want to see how the new mid-level skills are as a Corsair and a Bowmaster, but I dont know if i have the time and patience to work on that many characters.

It's because Tespia is a totally separate server.

Every Nexon game goes down at this time, it's not exclusive to MapleStory. Combat Arms, Vindictus, Maginogi, everything is under maintenance during this time. Even clicking this will show you that it's everything.

That's nice, but he was trying to say that Tespia is still open during this maintenence. I'm in it right now.

- Has anyone here in Tespia started a character and leveled them up the regular way, in order to test for bugs in the lower-level content? (i.e. quests, drops, party quests,quest chains, equips, skills, etc.)

I am doing this, and describing my impressions in my blog.

What?

I can't even get passed the first login screen since i got booted out half an hour ago

After reading this and realizing how overly easy they made it skipping the content, I am sorely disappoint in Nexon. Holding off the free level ups for at least several days would have indeed been a better idea. I completely forgot how excited I'd feel if I was a 12 year old who got into a test server and an NPC who can power level me for free was right in front of me.

It is?
I got disconnected a few minutes ago, and can't get back in. It says maximum concurrent users in this world has been reached, but idk if that's because everyone is in Tespia now that the game servers are down, or because the maximum has been lowered to 0 for the maintenance...
Tespia website is inaccessible as well.

It appears they recently took the servers and site down, presumably for maintenance, but they could very well be closing it because they're Nexon.

Although it is unlikely, the proper thing to do during a testing phase for the devs is to constantly release patches for further testing to see how each and every modification they do when attempting to fix things doesn't end up breaking others. They could be doing that.

But then, as you said,

they're Nexon.

That's what I hoped they'd do, too. But I doubt it's related to that.

It's more likely related to the maintenance. Hopefully they'll fix the server issues and maybe improve Cody.
