v.168 - Reboot Update Preview

So. who's up for some Southperry's Pride guild in Reboot?

If this is Nexon's way of apologizing I'll accept it. I will return.

Nice update! I am looking foward to starting fresh in Reboot. Looks super fun.

I just hope we have all classes up for selection. Or most of them if possible.

So. who's up for some Southperry's Pride guild in Reboot?

I'm looking to start a guild in Reboot. I need some Jrs. to run the guild while I take care of mine in Scania. I will be playing in Reboot though. If anyone is interested please PM me and we can discuss getting a guild up and running! I'm looking to get about 7-8 Jrs.

I'm actually pretty hyped for this. The one thing currently stopping me from playing is, well, it feels a bit pointless to play since there's such a huge gap between where I was before unleashed happened, and my current effectiveness now.

Worked my ass off to be able to cap before they raised the damage cap, and suddenly all that work feels like it's meaningless.

A fresh start in a new world with the ability to progress tied solely to effort put in? Sign me the pineapple up.

...

What the pineapple is the point of reboot world then? I thought this was "bringing maplestory back to its roots" where levels actually mattered, but if getting levels is merely a bit harder than in the regular worlds then does that mean anyone that seeks to stand out has to aim for maximun damage yet again?. Why move out of the main servers at all?

You can't snap your fingers and make levels matter again, sadly... and bishops get quite a lot of experience modifiers on top of Reboot's increased exp rates. There was also a burning event going on at the time, which was a weird decision on nexon's part. GMS will probably still have 2x cards available on top of having a less steep exp curve, so I doubt progress will be any kind of slow lol.

The "grind" is in improving your gear, since there are no shortcuts, and while you can move meso/use/etc between your characters - you cannot move equips. I'm not defending their logic here, just stating an observation from having played there.

Good, maybe I can finally get some more room and weed out some of the "OLD MAPLE WAS SO GREAT" players I keep passing by on the way to the FM.

No matter how they advertise it, Reboot is nothing like "old maple" because no matter how much peaching people do about how they want it back, they really don't.

It's almost as if MapleStory has become too easy, and people prefer a more harder version that isn't pay2win... We've only been telling Nexon for years!

Weeeell... I wouldn't say Reboot is harder. More time consuming, sure. It does cut out the p2w aspect, and that makes room for people to actually party for bosses again. It's up to what the players decide to do with it, though.

One of the best updates in years.

Seems 12/2 is the release date. Not sure if late to the party or not.

In KMS, Reboot World was in part 2. May or may not be the same for GMS. Either way, if it's not in the update for the 2nd, it'll probably be like a week later.

The video they posted could go either way, since they talk about the update as a whole and not the individual patches.

Could you make a Burning Character in Reboot? Because I made a Xenon and I wasn't given the option to.

Well, the highlights specifically mention the Reboot World, and I think usually those only contain things that go live right when the update hits.

You could, but only in the first few hours iirc. I know I was too late to make one, but I started days after it opened.

I'd like to see them split it into just 2 parts instead of 5 - where we get all the balance changes and RBW in part 1, and Kenesis in part 2... but who knows. It's totally possible though, 'cause they put things from part 3 in their clip as well.

Well you can't pay to get what you want. I think that in itself makes it harder! Plus, y'know, having to find your own equips. But I agree, it's not like it's going to be too hard.

Hmm might also have to come back for this. Also now live in Canada so the ping is probably better than Australian ping.

Watching the character loot those meso bags manually made my pinky hurt.
I really hope Reboot has NX-less ways to get a pet (after the Snail and Puffram expire), or I won't play it.

Was wondering the same thing.. I hope theres a way to get a permanent pet for mesos or something similar.

Anyone knows if thats a thing in KMS Reboot?

Permanent pets aren't a thing in KMS at all. And over there, pets in Reboot cost NX.

My only regret is that I wanted this to happen after the Mercedes rework that's being teased.
Not sure if I want my 'main' to be one or not.

just wondering, can you make any job on reboot in kms right?

I read that you could make any job other than Zero on Reboot, not sure if that was "No Zero allowed on Reboot" or "Zero wasn't available at the time".

On the issue of available pets:
You could always hope you get lucky enough to drop a pet from hilla.

I'm assuming they just simply aren't allowed. Admittedly they ARE ridiculously overpowered compared to everyone else when hitting the damage cap isn't so damn prevalent. Maybe post nerf they'll be allowed? I could be wrong though.
