[MapleSEA] Exclusive patch : The Enchanted Forest Patch notes

I hope this isn't a time-limited event. I want to see videos of this place!

looks like it got sides, up place and down place(darker and dungeon-ish) hope it will bring something better than a just 5-6 maps. and hope it coems to ems oo ^o^

I won't lie, the content looks good from the off-set. On the other hand...let's just say that I'll reserve any further opinions until the full details have been released as there's always the possibility that it'd have a lot of cash-exclusive events within.

there's always a lot of cash-exclusive events within.

fixed.

Before anyone asks for an extraction, please read this

Thank you for your source, Reddish.

The Enchanted Forest Prologue
Gaga : Phew…No one was talking about me.
Gaga : Recently, I got lost in the woods one day and after walking for some distance, a rabbit dressed in a suit appeared!
Gaga : The strange rabbit led me to a mysterious hidden forest! It seemed like a beautiful forest. Can I trust you?
Gaga : You believe my story, don’t you? Would you like to meet the strange rabbit? You can travel to the Enchanted Forest via the Mirror of Dimension.
Magic Hat : A bunny in a suit?! You must be looking for Bunny Merchant. He sells various goods at Enchanted Forest.
Magic Hat: Stay awhile, walk down with me down this magical journey and I will show you the Rose!

How disappointing.

On the bright side, we'll be getting the random beauty coupon event again. Yay!

How disappointing.

Free maplepoints for doing daily stuff sure is disappointing.

Almost as much as you still using those stupid center/font tags.

I'm not getting my hopes up till I know exactly what the conversion rate is like.

35k Rose for 500 points. FYI, I have like 5k Rose right now so it'd go something like this:

5k x 7= 35 k.
35k x 3= 105k.
105k Rose= 1.5k MP.
Time taken= 7x 3 days= 21 days.
So that's about 21 days straight doing this for one shop...

Not to mention that apparently potential scrolls are 40k Rose and that friggin thing sells for about 2 million mesos!

See, Takebacker? THIS is why I ignored the maplepoint conversion feature, because I figured this would be likely to happen.

MapleSEA is still open?

i genuinely laughed.

If there's a bright side to this, it's finally convinced me that a limited Tri-Force DS that I can use to play Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks and Dragon Quest 9 is far worth anything I'd throw to AS any more. Not even going to buy cubes since each cube buys me lunch and my continued sustenance is more important to me than getting some 'lol you fail' result in return.

This is only a one map new area. The other maps like Endless Tower and Protect the Merlion are quest areas that can only be entered a number of times a day. Nothing to be excited about actually. Even the Rose --> Maple Point conversion is a waste of time. Don't know why they implemented the Rose system anyway. You cannot even check the number of Roses you have unless you complete an Enchanted Forest quest, or have a talk with the bunny. Can't they just put another field under the meso field in the inventory, just like how JMS implemented the Pearl system?

Well, we're talking about the same company that decided that not fixing Pam's Songs to work with Legendary Spirit was not a top priority when those are one of the priciest and most in demand items every time it's sold.

It's safe to say that the Force of common sense is not strong with them.

Edit: Also, they removed free daily entries into Red Leaf High. It is very clear that when you charge people for things that everyone else got for free, there is something very pineappling (Typing intended) wrong with how you manage your business and goodwill.

Looking at the patch notes, this just seems like a boring mini-game thing.

Worse than boring. I'd rather play Monster Cards and Omok with people, it'd be more fun and I wouldn't be losing anything. The amount of cash I'd get from playing for about 10 days would only be barely enough to top up for another shop...I already have 880 Maple Points.

See, Takebacker? THIS is why I ignored the maplepoint conversion feature, because I figured this would be likely to happen.

The conversion rate is irrelevant to the fact that it's free maplepoints. You're also ignoring the fact that both tweaking and additional methods of getting rose can happen.

There isn't a lot of profit in 880 MP. Unless they do make better quests, it's not really worth it.
