The EXP Curve

yeah

yeah

cause you're level 170 and jerk off to this game 24/7

right

i think i'm right

171 nigger

best recognize, wimp sniper

BUT I'M RIGHT, RiGHT

I THINK I'M RIGHT

I don't care if they remove or keep the curve. I only play for the enjoyment of playing the classes that I enjoy best, and to have fun. As long as playing my Night Lord still feels fun to me, I don't really care. To others, maybe not in some aspects, but there's more to this game than grinding 24/7. Hell, I have 3 lv 200 friends on my BL, while I envy their levels at times, people have different goals in MMOs. Not everyone is going to whine and complain about an EXP boost, or opposite of that.

As long as Zakum is still Zakum, Pap is Pap, Pianus is Pianus, a Night Lord is a Night Lord, I'll still play this game the same way I've been playing it for the last 3 years or so.

It's true, guys. He demanded that I share my rep mule with him so that he could level his f'aggot ass to 200.

In all seriousness, most people who feel that the EXP curve should've been an event and only an event are envious of the benefits that newer players are getting now. I get just as pissed off as the next guy when someone says "OMG LEVELING TO 70 is so HARDDDDDDDDDDD", but really.

[Notice] Zakum is now Horntail, Pianus is removed because perverts can't hop off the name and Night Lord has been removed for the upcoming class, Day Lord where FJ is removed and Triple throw's damage has been lowered down for 30%!

I felt this retort was completly necessary.

While I agree with what you're saying, that's never been the way Maple's worked, and it never will be. This one small paragraph contradicts with everything that Maple revolves around, and no boosted EXP rates or cash shop items will change the concept of the game that we are, in this thread, trying too hard to make "less hardcore". Like you said earlier, this game is always going to have some kind of difficult grind to it, but to make it easier than it already is with 2x, family 2x, Arch Mages/Bishops, leechers, and everything else that gives Maplers their stiffy sounds like something you'd only hear from someone running a private server. I already know they're most likely going to be keeping these rates, but running in here and disagreeing with the majority is a good way to bring peoples' piss to a steam. Why can't you guys just look at this as the event it was actually made to look like and say "GEE, I SURE GAINED A TON OF LEVELS THIS SUMMER. THANKS FOR THE EVENT NECKSON, YOU CAN SHIFT THE RATES BACK NOW IF YOU WANT."

haven't read the rest of your post yet but I saw the end and realised/wanted to say I've been so busy crying about monster book and protesting against Nexon that I haven't taken advantage of any of the 2x events since the last patch. ((

edit before posting: okay now I read it all. Of course it's going to take an obscenely long time to level to the highest level, yes that is part of maple. But all of these events barely put a dent in the overall time spent playing for anyone hoping to get to a high level. It'll never be as easy as a 10 minute grind over level 50. It'll never be a couple hours for players over 100 (without 2x events and such.) But there's no reason it shouldn't be less than it was before the curve. It's the reason that almost every other version has this curve implemented permanently.

I guess you haven't noticed but to me it seems like most of the people in this thread are against removing the curve because it is very agreed upon that it doesn't remove much from the game except saving some time, so I don't see any piss being turned to steam except a couple people desperate to hold onto hollow achievements or can't accept that things won't stay the same forever, 'cause if they did the game would stagnate.

Can someone actually give us a list of which versions have an exp curve and which don't? This is pissing me off. I keep hearing "KMS HAS THIS CURVE STFU" and then "NO IT DOESN'T!!!! NOOB" and then "ALL VERSIONS EXCEPT GMS AND KMS DO". I'd like to have the facts, please.

Easiest way is to go to their site itself for each individual versions, and find the notice that states that there IS an EXP curve, SS it, translate it, and bring it here. -shrugs- I only understand 2 languages:

-English (fluent)
-Vietnamese (fluent)

Har har, this reminds me of something my gf and I made a while back:

I hope they make it perm!! It still takes a while to level up, like someone said before, if you want the challenge just kill yourself a few times every level =P

I believe JMS has it, but I guess a JMS player could simply say so instead :p

KMS? I don't think the new curve's there.

As for the rest... no idea. HOWEVER, I have a plan. Get a recent screeny from that version, check the exp's %, and according to HS's exp curve table, decide if it's the new or the old one.

Slow... but works!

I hope it stays. =)

The curve doesn't make it easier to level, just reduces the time. You're still doing the same thing at 18x that you did at 14x. Grinding at skeles. F3. There's is no change in difficulty in playing.

Well for some versions what we consider the curve is actually their base and that is partially what I referring to. So you'd need the experience tables from every version to see for sure.

edit: and ugh just to be absolutely clear, I don't mean the base is EXACTLY the same as our curve, just that other versions have less necessary base experience to level than our original base exp.

That was pure epicness.

I believe JMS has it, but I guess a JMS player could simply say so instead :p

Hasn't JMS always had the 1.25x EXP?

Hasn't JMS always had the 1.25x EXP?

At least I remember hearing about that when SEA got Zipangu... A looooooong time ago...

That was pure epicness.

haha thanks ;D

Hasn't JMS always had the 1.25x EXP?

i think they did when i played it for awhile (Dam you IP Blocking)
the exp was higher but i think the exp needed to level was higher so it balanced it out
