GM Blog : Happy Holidays!

(increased summon rate please)

Lol, I'd love to see a boss that kept a swarm of 100+ mini summons around it at all times (maybe by having them summon themself a couple seconds after death, and only be killed off permanently when the boss dies)

Especially if they had high KB and randomly shuffled between different player targets instead of just being lured away by someone :p


I'd kinda like a reason to play my paladin :/

The chrismtas Event will be the same like in EMS check out extraction on sleepywood in Kradia subforum. there will be mutated o-pongo as a boss in 3 form, new chair, new weapon for everyone which will be limited and look like seraphim from cs.

I hoped for events like msea have last year it was so funny to make sock for Santa :<

ey i cant find the extraction in sleepywood

I'm thinking tougher (750k HP?) boomers as a summon? Those could very quickly impede the progress of any ranged character (with a cap set on max summon amount, say 20 roaming around at all times?) Make them a mix of ground and airborne enemies, and, like you said, randomly aggrod (or to the characters harming the boss the most), and you've got a solid reason for mobbers or non-single-target-DPM characters to be in a boss party.

-edit-
Haha, just thought of a giant slug with lots of little slugs falling off of it, kinda like the "Cloverfield" monster

They said exactly where to go. Or let me guess, you were probably looking in GMS Kradia, instead of EMS. Yeah, that makes sense. Stupid.

In that extraction it says the blue orbis sprite is the PQ NPC


Christmas party quest NPC

Guess i was right about that part.

you still realize that archers are good mob attackers too, right? pierce, inferno, bomb, AR/E... go ahead, give it summons. the main thing i was getting at was that i like strong event bosses. giving it more summons makes it more fun. not like those stupid fake bosses that die in 1/12th of an arrow...

and just as long as you know it, 20 summons means that NO ONE will be hitting the boss with any sort of precision. it'd be like... the maple story equivalent of spray-and-pray from FPS games.

It very interesting because all version with New Leaf City have same Christmas Events. TaiwanMS have this npc and also new O-Pongo monster in patch announcement

You'd think that no more GMS extractions would be posted after the C&D >_>. Never mind. Read wrong.

It is EMS extractions so I think there shouldn't be any problems with it

I doubt Maker will be out in this patch. As I have said before, Maker was created 10 months after Magatia. It would be quite a shock if we got it so quickly when it's barely out in any versions.

Betting the new town boss is that giant stocking from CMS:

How much HP does that thing have?

Why do you doubt we will be getting the Maker skill with this patch?...they specifically mentioned "Alchemy" a few times.


"We haven't always done the best job of letting you know all this, and this is something we're going to change over the coming months. We will elevate our efforts to improve the game in every way to reward your loyalty..."

Yadayadayada heard it all before, dont believe a word of it. They've been spouting that line for the last 2+ years, to no effect...

To the best of knowledge the storyline of magatia is all to do with alchemy.

Just to quote what Tempus said in the EMS extraction:

Christmas Socks
Level: 30
HP: 18000000
MP: 30000
Speed: -10
W.ATT: 10
W.DEF: 0
M.ATT: 10
M.DEF: 0
Accuracy: 300
Evasion: 0
EXP: 10000
Undead: No
KB: 1

Also, yeah. I'll believe Nexon when I see some fucking change happen. It's very suprising they actually ADMIT THEY WEREN'T DOING THE BEST JOB, though.

Is that weapon for Magicians or Warriors? :f6: (seeing DK attack but looks like a staff)

and just as long as you know it, 20 summons means that NO ONE will be hitting the boss with any sort of precision. it'd be like... the maple story equivalent of spray-and-pray from FPS games.

Melee attacks acquire targets in order of spawn (AoE do too), the only ones that don't are projectile attacks which generally hit the closest monster.

When a boss is summoning monsters, Warriors can always hit the boss if they're standing in range of it.

Its a cash staff type item, I was going to get it on my Infighter in KMS at one point, But then seeing as how it looks too much like a staff, And a magician is the last thing I want to be seen as... I passed.
I think it covers everything

It would, however, prevent hurricane/TT from being spammed (which was the only reason I suggested it). Even if others are limited to mob attacks as well, they will at least be on an even playing field with DPM classes.

Also, Felix, your attitude is really starting to get on my nerves. People make mistakes, people miss things, and may not always agree 100% with you. Please try to be more respectful to others in the future.

Indeed you were. :p I guess that simplifies things. Suppose I better get updating then.


wonder who this cross guy is. Just a bad guy who coincidentally looks like O-Pongo, or is this some sort of additional Versal-badness like the Keep?
Patch seems to hold a lot of promise for NLC storyline advancement.

Only Gunslingers with Homing Beacon. : P

I can't help but think that "Day of Darkness GM Summoning" thing reminds me of the idea I recommended to them around 3 times in the past; first time stemming all the way back to when NXJoe had his recommendation thread in Sleepy. I also randomly ran into the actual NEXON forums recently and saw they had a some sort of recommendation thing going on so I basically copy/pasted my idea from the past again. Too bad I didn't throw in my IGN for the contest since I told them that I would follow their ToS and not give my IGN to anyone, GMs included.

Anyway, in the event it is what I think it is, being the idea I recommended, it would be as follows. (First off, there's almost no chance my idea actually got used, I just feel like mentioning it since it seems to be similar in naming. If I posted after the fact, of course no-one would believe the idea was mine.) Basically, we all fought "training" doppelgangers of our job instructors to get to 3rd job. My idea was that some sort of evil thing took over the use of these and turned them dark (my most recent addition being with the introduction of the Black Magician to the storyline, he could have something to do with it). So the dark versions of the town chiefs/job instructors would be summoned in their respective job towns and they would summon several variations of Crimson Balrogs. One of the Crogs within the mob they summon would be a "barrier" balrog that would need to be killed in order to harm the dark chief. They would resummon from time to time, but that was basically it for the battle. Anyway, again, this was an idea I have submitted to them time and time again, and there is no proof or in fact, chance that this is what they are releasing in this event, but I felt like throwing it out there in case I win the lotto or something.

So, I hope that the events are somewhat nice and that hope there is still a slim chance for the Maker Skill to come with it. Got around 300 refined crystals ready and waiting for it along with 5k+ etc drops for the 110 set. Oh and @ the people who think diamonds are going to be that profitable; unfortunately here in GMS we have those droves of JQ hackers who have made basically all gem ores worth nothing. That is another reason I've invested in crystals and not in gems. Though I have a nice stack of topaz lying around for the HP boost too.

Unless the maker skill or the monster book come soon, I may have to prolong my inactivity. I can only hope that GMS doesn't somehow find a way to warp them into NX activities.

So were Copypasting CMS?

Crap, O-pongo imatator PQ >_>

But Magatia sdhould be good, and maybe the yeti-spynx is going to come into play
