[MSEA] QnA session with Nexon trio.

The hell. lol Why would anyone want Prose back?

Someone help me with this one. I can't wrap my mind around it!

NXProse actually kept in touch with the players and at this point I'm almost positive he was the writer of GM blogs. Why wouldn't you want that back? Contact throughout the month is so much better than an entire month of silence.

edit: other post

Good enough. But that doesn't answer the whole question.

Didn't answer what I don't have any idea about.

It isn't exactly an answer either. In fact, it doesn't even answer the question. There must be an apparent reason why various parts of the WT are ported while some aren't. And does Nexon decide which part to port over or the publisher gets to pick?

I wasn't answering the question, I was responding to the fact that you said "exclusive" like exclusive areas shouldn't be anywhere else which is a common misconception.

You are assuming that Magatia is part of WT; which not only have you overlooked it in my previous question, many people are still contending if it's indeed WT.

I didn't say anything about Magatia :|. I was talking about GMS' Crimsonwood Keep Party Quest.

Fallacy. Doubly fallacious.

I admit this is completely based on what I've seen posted on these and the asiasoft forums. That "Singlish", or whatever it's called is basically what I was referring to. Sorry!

I bet if that happened in gMS there would be a massive debate about elemental weapons and leeching in that room.

User GM's = Maple Watch Leaf Brigade probably (but then fo MSea)

If it was Global, I'd just ask, "What's the deal with iTCG stuff? Like FaceStompers, Bosshunter equips, all that jazz? Will we be able to create them through the Maker skill? Or will something be available to reproduce them in the future?"

Then I'd ask for them to add a Breast Enhancement coupon and to make me the NPC of the place where you use that coupon.

About NxProse, I'm seriously worrying what happened to him.

I've tried making several posts on NEXON Forums but they all got deleted. NEXON Forum's Mods usually just lock the threads they don't like - but this time they even deleted them.
It must mean that they don't want to talk about it - at all. In fact, they didn't tell us a word about him.

Anything could've happened to him - from getting fired to (hopefully not) even something worse. Hopefully it's not what I'm thinking it is.

And that's why I sent a feedback to NEXON through a poll they asked to fill in one of their newsletters, saying that they need to improve communication between the players and the company. They should tell us what happened to him, even if they fired him.

He was one of the best NEXON workers ever, with his Q&A's and his Chronicles of Masteria updates. Who will make those, now that he's gone? I guess nobody.

oh man! i remember this lady, she's the one who DMCA-ed my private server! ROARRR

Asiasoft team is ugly (((((((


Also maplebabies. If I were living in the maple world I wouldn't want to have a baby. TOO DANGEROUS.

That ish korean peopors. lawds

My questions would be...

1. How many months does it take for nexon korea to implement an exclusive map, in-game, after it is planned by the publisher ?

2. Why is monster status effects like Zombify is implemented when bishops are clearly useless other than sell leeching services and heal a party ?

3. Why dont new versions immediately get new stuff from koreanMS? Isnt those stuff in the plot of the black wizards b-story ? *if you get what i mean*

lol i agree, a sleepy-looking guy and an auntie. I can only say the third one looks "good" among the 3.

He looks like my History teacher

I don't think that would be a good question, unless you're into game development. Who cares, really.

Bishops are useless?

[color="#cc8899"]I'd like to know how they plan to continue making unique and useful equips, or if there are plans for equipment beyond level 120. There is little motivation to level beyond 165 or so, once core/useful skills are maxed, other than competition and approaching 200. New equipment would definitely be a driving force.

I would also ask if they plan to create class specific helmets that are useful enough to be worth switching from a zakum helmet for. For example, helmets that could gain attack on levelup, but couldn't be chaos'd. Basically, anything to give class specific gear a purpose.

Finally, I'd ask if there was any intent to balance pure weapon/hybrid Dragon/Dark Knights. A simple buff skill that forces a slash/stab with non-forced attacks (Power Strike, Sacrifice, Slash Blast, Basic Attack, and Rush) would do wonders, while keeping the utility of 3rd job skills, and wouldn't create problems for existing hybrids. Reduction in penalties for stabPA and slashSpear would also be helpful.[/COLOR]

The fact that you can go hybrid in the first place is good enough really. What about axe/BW warriors huh? Clearly they have gotten the shaft with every single release with the exception of the crushed skull.

Everyones waiting for more Sg extensions -_-

They should have just compiled a list of questions from THE GENERAL PUBLIC rather than from a group of LEVEL 200 MAPLEGEEKS who do nothing but grind their life away.

Like omg totally. No offense, but did anyone else notice the old man (3rd picture i think, the guy in front of the other guy in purple) in the crowd with his cell phone or sex toy or whatever the hell hes doing. I mean, thats kinda disturbing now knowing that there are people over the ages of 70+ playing maplestory...

Anyways, I'd love to have those giftbags that they got. xD

Explain to me how, when advised by Dances with Balrogs to master a single weapon, giving hybrids the advantage is fair? And I most certainly cannot go hybrid, I am already well into 4th job. Finally, I know several hybrid heros - they left out the minor 3rd job skills to max sword mastery/booster. They used axes through 3rd job and swords for 4th. Paladins get screwed for hybrids, but hybrids shouldn't be a feasible option to begin with.

They don't even give you the damage formulas, the only reason people know which weapons are better is due to players reverse engineering the game. That kind of information didn't exist when I made my Page, should I complain? (during my level 4x I figured out the stab/slash thing, cause I wanted a more accurate damage average than max+min / 2, which wasn't fitting any ingame tests I did)

1. Because no one used them. I think KMSers even asked for them to be removed.
[COLOR="Red"]O'rly, they asked for an area to be removed?
That probably isn't the only reason, since they can just leave the area there untouched forever.[/COLOR]

2. Exclusivity isn't forever, so as long as a single version gets an exclusive area first then... they're about exclusive as anything can be.
[COLOR="Red"]Fine , a few weeks later you see asiasoft startup screen in GMS. lulz
Okay but I do agree that most exclusive areas dont stay "ëxclusive" forever. Point taken[/COLOR]

3. Clearly it is possible for exclusives to contain PQs. CWKPQ
[COLOR="Red"].We are talking about world tour. Is NLC part of the world tour?

[/COLOR]
4. GMS doesn't have Chinese hackers. Most of MSEA is populated with people who are barely fluent in english.
[COLOR="Red"]Thats stupid crap coming out from you. That doesnt make you any better. Please know more about the people before you assume anything about them.

For those GMSers who think öh MSEA doesn't speak fluent English.
Give us a test, I'm pretty sure we can do as well as you, or even better.
Its just that MSEA-ers type or speak that way because they are used to it or
it is just a casual talk or something.
Besides, we do not write that in our exams or when we are doing school work.

[/COLOR]
Basically those questions are easily answered and no more original than anything the kids asked. I can't think of any question that would really be a good one at all. If it was Nexon AM doing this I think it would be.

1. Why are you so pineappleing incompetent?
You expect them to answer you seriously?

2. Where is NXProse?

3. WE WANT NXPROSE BACK.

4. You can't spell anything right. Are you ashamed about this?

5. Seriously bring NXProse back.

6. When will Masteria Monster Cards be released?

7. Any plans to hire new staff now that you can't deny you're aware of how discontented we are with your incompetent company?

Besides that, I'm sure there are other questions the maplers asked but we do not know...

Oh and one more question which is really important to me.


Why are Nightlords and Bowmasters having such a huge disadvantage in survivalibity? For example Many nightlords and Bowmasters are unable to take the damaged done by PB without extensive hp wash. Were they meant not to survive in bosses?
Or is it just Nexon's way of earning money though hp washing?
Will Nexon ever change the HP increase formula per level for Bowmans and Sins?


EDIT:
Saw BombsAway's explanation on top. Noted.

At Uncouthist's MAster/World Tour comment:

People can treat it like that because it's not a "main" area.

I usually get Bs for english :/


And if they ever give bowmans/night lords HP increase skill... The veteran players are gonna rage.

What happened to him anyway? I thought he has always been around? :O

I didn't say anything about Magatia :|. I was talking about GMS' Crimsonwood Keep Party Quest.

Arghh sorry I meant Masteria. Crappy names make me confused.

I admit this is completely based on what I've seen posted on these and the asiasoft forums. That "Singlish", or whatever it's called is basically what I was referring to. Sorry!

Haha it's okay. I hope the group of us here don't appear to be as 'not fluent' as the general singaporean population. You can't really blame the game community though, since a majority of them have yet to complete their primary school education....

Eh on a side note, I am surprised that AS is actually able to get the NEXON trio for an interview! I thought GMS should have a much better chance than we do at getting such stuff? I mean.. after all, GMS is published by NEXON themselves right? O_O

oh man! i remember this lady, she's the one who DMCA-ed my private server! ROARRR

how the hell did u know it was her

You should kill her and pineapple the body.
I would.
