MapleStory Jubilation (v.97) Update Maintenance - 04...

Yeah, but they at least fixed it in Jump.

I wouldn't say that:
[video=youtube;Iuih2wQvCnk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuih2wQvCnk[/video]

Skip to around 0:29.

Why is it that they didn't mention anything about the server merge?

WHEN are they planning to do it?

They changed how Divine Shield works in Jump by making your character do the "Blinking" animation when you proc DS, but apparently they "forgot" to apply it to the Bishop shield as well...

Why is it that they didn't mention anything about the server merge?

WHEN are they planning to do it?

Hopefully, never.

Hopefully, never.

I don't see what's to dislike about something that will benefit Kradia. Kradia needs all the help it can get, so I welcome this server merge.

Hopefully, never.

Idk about Kradia, but Yellonde is dead as hell. Wouldn't mind an FM where I can actually find something, such as OS20 that I still don't have. Also, more henehoes!

Ofc there still will be whiners in both servers, but really, not everyone plays just for solo zakum. If you do, then move to Demethos, Galicia or something. I don't know what's so bad in population seeing how you are level 193. LHC has space for more than 700 people online at the same time...

Not everyone cares only for themselves.
Yes, I'm 193, hopefully 200 by Chaos (LF> ETL update), with or without a merge, and I could just say "Après moi le déluge". But I happen to lead a guild and alliance of people of all levels, and I am not looking forward to hearing them whine more about being ks'ed at jesters and mp3.

I see nothing good coming to Kradia from this merge. Yellonde's population is big enough to be felt (for bad) in the popular training or bossing areas, but not nearly big enough to be felt (for good) in the PQ areas or the FM.
As for benefits to Yellonde: if you think Kradia's FM is a good place for Yellondians to find mastery books, think again. With the exception of the few books that drop where hackers like to bot, we have nothing.

The only thing we gain is a CHT channel. I'm sure our hackers are delighted to hear that, regular HT and PB are getting too boring. Yeah, so a few rich people will get a CHTP, happy happy joy joy. (And of course the CHT problem could have been solved without a server merge).

Then there's the lie of "double character slots" when in fact you don't get to share Blessing, storage, or cash shop, but you also don't get to be able to log on them at the same time (for self-buffing or w/e). Oh yeah, just what I always wanted!

All in all, stupid idea. If Nexon decided Yellonde was unviable, they should have just given everyone there a free server transfer. Go to Windia if you like crowds, go to Demethos if you enjoy the solitude, just go anywhere because we're closing your server down.

What is this help you speak of? We need none. We just need to be willing to get off our asses and look for stuff. Someone's gotta do it. I don't like hunting my books because they don't like dropping for me, so I buy them. Guess what? Someone had to get it somewhere be it gach, a boss, or a book they didn't want but drops from a monster that drops what they want. Our only book problems fall in the category of bandwagonned classes. When I pass a UA Pally, I am 95% of the time stronger than them because their books are scarce. None of them want to hunt but they all want the books. They badger me for books when I say I passed them, etc.

We have an almost ideal population as it is, we just need motivation. More people won't solve KS'ing, and it probably won't solve book shortages. More channels gives us cHTPs from hackers and legits that aren't overpriced due to sellers having to cover transfer costs. It's just a bad idea. More channels does solve a bit of KS'ing since people can spread out, but then there are those that KS for fun. They scan for small groups and KS them because they can even if they're level 150 at places like scarecrows.

@JP I know what you mean about that last part,
I was trying to get my DW to 70 before the servers went down (and managed it, JUST).
Unlike (what seems to be) most DW I am very polite and from 65->70 asked people if I could take the top left platform at jesters.
And most people are quite happy to let me because it makes it easier for them.
However one lvl 8x UE DK decided to come in and spam "NOOB" while KSing me (just me) for about 30 min.

(I like doing that 65 -> 70 cause approx 1 jester = 6 dead scarecrows)

Slightly more on topic, for some reason I am just not excited for this patch. I don't really know why, I normally am for the anniversary patches

**Update** We are experiencing difficulties with the update and will need more time to prepare. The maintenance will now end at 6:00 AM Pacific (9:00 AM Eastern.) We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Least it's 3 hours and not 30 mins or 1 hour or something short where we see a few more extensions.

Knew 5 hours for a patch was a tad optimistic.

I just hope they don't end up having to change the client, what with encouraging people to pre-patch... could get messy.

Extended for another 3 hours

I like that they threw in that is gonna be 3 hours, now I can head back to bed.

I'm sure I'll wake up at 8:50 est just to find out that they finished early, at 6:35am.

Nt everyone cares only for themselves.

If you think your server is small come to yellonde...

Also, only places that may be crowded are mp3 and mansion maps. If you haven't noticed, the exp there is completely rigged compared to nonexclusive content. kMS players and big servers do just fine, cause they have way more alternatives. Server merge shouldn't be blamed for ksing.

You want that your guildies wont get ksed, I want to get more than 30 people to my guild in the first place. This is not easy when even fm entrance in Yello usually has only 2 to 10 people in it (including bots).

You clearly think that Yellonde is as big as Kradia is. It isn't. You most likely wont even see any change in amount of ksing, because we will also get 20 channels.

Lastly, can't please everyone. I have talked with ton of Kradians and Yellondians who were all looking forward to making new friends.

Who's selfish here? You. You are just 1 person, don't act like you represent the whole Kradia.

Just a quick question about the 'totally not a merge' merge.
How many chs do yellonde & kradia have now?
and has nexon said how many they will be getting?

I believe they're going to have 20 now.

Each has 13 channels.
The merged server will have 20.

Maintenance Notes Update.
* Modifications have been made to the Balloon Hunt and Maple Hill to combat vacuum hacking.


OH HELLS TO THE YES.

Suddenly the delay makes sense.

Not really. That note was there from the start.
