[GMS] Predictions - ver. 0.76

Well, you're level 200; can you give anyone a good reason to level past 180? Whether there's more high-level-friendly released content or not, there's pretty much no reason for anyone to level past 180 other than to "be 200".

Reason #1: Not having to give a f'uck about dying.

The patch isn't next week, it'll be mid-october. That's why the new Cassandra events start on Sept 23. The next patch will probably be around October 13th and will include Halloween events and (imo) Krakia.

Yet every other event basically ends on the 22nd unless Nexon plans to pump in another online event convienantly after. It's been almost a month, the basis for a patch. Who says it can't be September 22nd? It feels a little soon, but since I haven't been doing dojo every single day I can see how slow the patch has been going despite leveling several times in the past few weeks of this patch. I had a feeling Nexon implemented the quest early, and the 22nd is a Tuesday, 23rd being a Wednesday. What's not "patchy" (lol) about that?

Anyway, if the patch ISN'T for October as previously claimed, I'm going for a Masteria expansion, I hope for one at least. Logical time and no sneak peeks. I'd think we'd have gotten one by now, no?

All other events end on the 22nd because NEW events start on the 23rd. The scroll exchange event starts on the 23rd which is what I said in my last post. Nexon always pushes holiday event patches off until the last second for whatever reason.

Last three Halloween patches in descending order (latest to earliest) October 14, October 24th, October 19th

Well, they only have one more server check's or cash shop update's worth of new cash shop items (this week's), so the patch'll be next week.

I think Krakia has a good chance of having high-level content because the original NLC quests were required for the phantom forest/crimsonwood keep quests, and all those quests are required for Cool As Ice, which reveals the subani and krakia thing. That could mean that Cool As Ice could be a prerequisite to Krakia quests, and Cool As Ice requires a mark of narician, which has a level 110 requirement in the first place.

Dam.. Yea You are right. Msea will be 0.81 I am sorry...

You copied it off PegaKok's thread from the PP forums, didn't you?

I'm betting on a Masteria expansion. B> Krakia.

Nexon should go TMS(i think tms LOL) status and add like balrog boss and some world tour all at the same time. I wouldnt mind even if it took 3days. The last patch we had was really a waste Mu Lung is alright but not the best. But I gotta say Ily GM scrolls bunch of noobs gaching then putting like 5mil for a 70% matk shield scroll. And what nexon really needs in masteria is a WR mini map. During 2x event I got a map first then some guy with NX alot of NX comes in and brings a Hero and Pali and Ksed me out of the map .

Gach Boxes w/Timeless weapons, Halloween Events(Mansion PQ again), and CS item sale.

10 dollars they put Rocks of Time in gach boxes. I wouldnt mind even thought I've spent 1bil+ on reverse items. I want a timeless shield.

I wouldn't mind all that much if timeless items came out rarely from gachapon boxes since they don't get maker advantages, but no time rocks please D:

I still have like 60 gold boxes left over from last event. Stupid miwok event, these events have been making less and less sense. Gachapon box didn't make any sense at all since gachapons are basically random vending machines, miwok gachapon box event made even less sense, having absolutely nothing to do with gachapon or boxes for that matter.

To finish the main adventure of the game. This is the finale that every game out there has... this is the same as asking why someone would finish a Final Fantasy or a Batman game.

I'm sure that whatever is in the patch I wont like it much.

Reason #1: Not having to give a f'uck about dying.

wich mean no more charms and no more x2 cards (except x2 drop)

I would like to add that when you are lv 200 you can actually enjoy the game(only real grinders) , I never enjoyed the game as I do now believe me, I always missed those "OMG GM ARE SUMMONING MONSTERS!" and any other cool events, always!

Lv 200 = cool mount, medal, no more nx wasted on charms and x2,no more worries about training like old times when you had to camp on skele/newties maps and ks wars were all over (I know we have mini dungeons now) , you can do as many quests as you like, merchant, bossing etc, being lv 200 is definetely cool.

I'm hoping for Kaede Castle, since I feel I can wait for Krakia till Decemberish.

But I expect more event patches.

I can see Krakia, or new Masteria content in general coming... just not next patch.

Usually they'd tease us in some way about it. It's been the case for every serious Masteria update.

I think it's safe to assume that Krakia will be coming either November, December, or January. And if it isn't any of those, it'll be next anniversary. They usually release that kind of content on the "big dates". Big dates usually being the anniversary/summer and around Christmas/holidays.

(Weren't the bionic turkeys from last year referenced to have been from Krakia or something? It'd make sense to be around November/December then..)

Well if you really didn't see a reason to level past 180, you wouldn't give a f'uck about dying or buying 2x experience anyway.

I´ll agree you get something in the means of closeure when u hit 200. But it's hardly comparable to finishing a storybased game, nor do you get a finale to the story at 200. A mount that's clumsily designed, a near worthless medal and a semi decent skill is what you get, I'm sure they are nifty, but they have nada to do with story.
Cygnus comes a little closer to a finale with the black witch and all, but I'd still never compare it to a non mmorpg.
Infact, you will never finsih the main adventure of MapleStory, because the game lacks one. We have framestories like the black mage and such, but unless you fight him and get to see the credits rolling I wouldn't call it finale.
If you say it's "your" story that reached its finale I guess I can't argue, tho I never much understood that view.

I hope they finally add dukus to singapore so we'll have a nice new place to train at since bishops only leech and never skele

Are Dukus really as good as people say they are? o_o I just watched a few videos and they look less mobby than Skeles/Oblivion. All I saw was BMs and NLs training there, which make sense, since they can't mob anyway. Dukus hardly give any more exp than Skeles (5k). I think O4 would win out over these.

better than you think. Duku has been a main place for high levelers since its released.

Duku's should be a tad better if the map is good. Oblivion 4 is kinda sucky for NLs anyway if you kill skeles with 2 hits and the oblivion critters with 3, the exp is almost identical, and the map is not as good as the skele dungeon. This is for non-bishop training, and I hate skeles, so I'm not just advertising that.
I guess if you had SE all the time oblivion 4 might be better for NLs too...

But for non-mage mobbing classes? Warriors, Shadowers, Buccaneers, Corsairs, Marksmen? Kind of hard to believe that a map that's less mobby than Skeles and only has a marginal increase in exp can beat O2/O3/O4. Especially since they stun. Oblivion is easily 10-20% faster than Skeles for the above classes mentioned.
