v.93, Big Bang Update Notes

http://www.nexon.net/News/View.aspx?boar...ntNo=00AMI

Big Bang Changes
- Leveling
o As mentioned in a previous post, the experience curve for leveling is much less steep after Big Bang than it was previously. This means from Lv.10 on, the amount of experience points needed to progress from one level to the next is lower, making leveling up faster throughout levels 10-200.
- Fighting
o Extensive changes have been made to the fighting system. The formulas for damage, defense, accuracy, and avoidability have all been extensively overhauled. Important to note for new and old players alike is that accuracy is decreased by a set amount for every level lower than a monster you are, to prevent players from attempting to hunt monsters that would be too difficult for them.
- Maps
o Several changes have been made to maps throughout Maple World, with the most extensive change being a completely rearranged Victoria Island.
o Towns have new layouts, and many monster maps have been removed or replaced.
o Travel on foot to the Victoria Island towns has been expedited with the addition of Six Path Crossway to the center of the island as a hub.
§ The entrance to Sleepywood and the airships to Orbis and Ereve have been moved to Six Path Crossway as well.
o Some modifications have been made to Orbis to make the town easier to navigate.
- Item Drops
o The drop rates of many Use and some Etc. items have been increased, with the drop rate of most HP and MP recovery items having been increased considerably.
- Party Quests
o The starting levels for some party quests have been changed, and the upper level restriction for most party quests has been removed.
o Many party quests that weren’t previously in the Party Search menu have been added to it.
o Modifications have been made to some of the party quests, such as First Time Together.
o Astaroth has been added as an option to the Dimensional Mirror for characters of the appropriate levels.
- Quests
o Most NPCs in Maple World received a lesson in grammer, so their dialog should be grammatically correct.
o Most quests in the game have been retooled. Quest requirements have been adjusted in response to the changes in maps and in monster levels
o Quests that are now for a different level than before have had had their rewards adjusted accordingly.
o The hunting and/or collecting requirements for the completion of many quests have been lowered to expedite their completion.
o The experience rewarded for many quests that are still for the same level has been increased.
- Monsters
o Most monsters throughout Maple World have had adjustments made to their levels, to varying degrees.
o The stats of monsters—as well as the experience they give, the amount of mesos they drop, and the level of the equipment they drop—have been adjusted accordingly.
o The levels of monsters have been specifically adjusted and consolidated to one area in to prevent an excessive need for travel throughout Maple World for quests of a certain level.
o Some monster maps are now restricted by level to help prevent players from wandering into areas that are beyond their level range.
- Skills
o Skills for all jobs have been streamlined and consolidated into the most useful ones.
o If you had Skill Points assigned to a skill that has been removed, those points will be returned to your SP pool.
o A warning message will appear when you assign all SP normally obtainable to a lower job, to prevent you from accidentally assigning too many SP to an earlier job.

I noticed the same, I hope that was a joke lmao.

Also I see

Users who have not logged in since November 7th will receive a Ring Box, a VIP Hair Coupon, a VIP Face Coupon and a 1.5x EXP (1 hour) coupon.

Will all 2x exp cards be changed to 1.5x?

This.
The irony is that they spelled it "grammer" instead of "grammar."

Really? I logged in today for the first time in well over a year. FFS. <_<

o If you had Skill Points assigned to a skill that has been removed, those points will be returned to your SP pool.

I had a feeling something like this would happen

No mention of SP resets.

You and I bro.

They are actually adding multiple worlds? What the hell.

***If you had Skill Points assigned to a skill that has been removed, those points will be returned to your SP pool.

sad face, I wanted all points returned to the SP pool

All hair coupons have been consolidated. You will only find REG and VIP versions of the style and color versions. These coupons can be used in any town that has a hair salon. Corresponding NPCs are in place to accept these in major towns.
o If you have the old hair coupons in your inventory, they will be automatically converted to the new system.
- Town specific lens coupons have been removed. Cosmetic lens coupons have been replaced with new cosmetic lens items that allow you to change your character’s eye color at any time, without the need to visit a NPC.

O_o that sounds new.

***If you had Skill Points assigned to a skill that has been removed, those points will be returned to your SP pool.

I'm not returning if theirs not a full SP reset, with my current distribution I'd be severely underpowered for levels.
