Re: MapleStory

I'd say it's more likely that they're just a crew of asshole leechers who are trying to pin this on another crew of asshole leechers.

I doubt Vent had anything to do with this, and if they did, they would have been more targetted, particularly as far as Bera is concerned. I hear in other worlds, they've gone as far as to having a bot running that automatically targets anyone in FM1 ch1, and automatically gets into their guild and expels everyone.

As a point of reference, if these guild hackers were saying "We are Xqsite; Xqsite for the win!", that wouldn't mean that we're guild hackers.

Re: MapleStory

Speaking of which, Guildless seems to be being fearless.

So, I'm getting a bit antsy. When will we reinstate things as they should be?

edit: by the way, by "as they should be" I mean, the same as the guild is in those screenshots plus a handful of the active people who were in before the hack attack started.

Re: MapleStory

speaking of guilds being hacked

they concluded a server check early this morning which was performed to apparently add in additional security against this sort of attack

So, Jason, how long we gonna wait before we get things rolling again?

And seriously, if you can steal away some additional high levels that would be amazing.

ps I've been really really wanting to get back to grinding. I was gonna do it yesterday, but dragonmarish was like "hey i need bishop for skele", then I went afk for like 5 minutes, and when I came back I was like "hey you still need bishop for skele" and he's like "im going to zak in like 10 minutes "

Which threw me off because I realized it was Sunday morning and that he was probably running with euro so I was like "wait is that with euro" and he's like "yeah", but then I was really confused because I had previously considered trying to join up with euro as per kyle's suggestion in the bbs, but when looking into it, I found that I wouldn't be able to make either time slot due to work or something, but I get off of work and am home by 8 am edt, but apparently Euro was running at like 8:30 or something and I was just stupidly thinking they ran at another time.

Wow, tangent there. Anyway, I'm trying to get back into grinding, which brings me to another point. What skill levels would I need to run Horntail with y'all, and what type of survivability level are you guys looking for from your Bishops?

EDIT: man psuedo double posts are fun fun fun

Re: MapleStory

In other news, 4th job without cool timers is epic.

My favorite so far is Snipe. You know, the guaranteed 1hko? It's fun!

Fortunately Infinity doesn't work yet, so mages aren't totally insane. But once that's fixed, it's game over.

Also fortunate is that most of the Hermit / NL skills don't work so Assassins aren't insanely overpowered. Turns out the GMs in Local probably hate assassins too. You have to recharge stars in Kerning and you have to recharge your Shadow Partner in Kerning. Costs 10,000,000 to get a Shadow Partner, but it doesn't run out. ...Unless you change channels. You basically only get Triple Throw for fourth job. Compare that to archers getting everything but Puppet, Sharp Eyes, and Hamstring. Oh, and Rangers who use Arrow Storm and Snipers who use Piercing Arrow do so much damage that the game autobans you for damage hacks, so we're not allowed to use them.

Yeah, that sounds fair.

Fortunately? So while Archers can kill anything in one hit, Bishops can't do ****. Yes, that is fortunate.

Also fortunate is that most of the Hermit / NL skills don't work so Assassins aren't insanely overpowered.

Lucky7's formula is amazing, but it's not amazing enough to let a Hermit keep up with 3rd jobbers alone, and it CERTAINLY is not amazing enough to let Nightlords keep up with 4th jobbers alone.

Turns out the GMs in Local probably hate assassins too. You have to recharge stars in Kerning and you have to recharge your Shadow Partner in Kerning.

You don't "recharge" Shadow Partner, but I guess you mean that Summoning Rocks aren't available in El Nath after having completed the correct quest or from monster drop? Or is it that they totally changed the system for Shadow Partner somehow?

Costs 10,000,000 to get a Shadow Partner, but it doesn't run out. ...Unless you change channels.

Doesn't make sense.

You basically only get Triple Throw for fourth job.

That is the primary element of 4th job for Nightlords in the official version as well. Other skills are just backup to make Triple Throw easier/stronger.

Compare that to archers getting everything but Puppet, Sharp Eyes, and Hamstring.

Puppet is a 3rd job skill. Also, Sharp Eyes is an active support skill and Hamstring is pretty damned stupid. The Archer equivalent to Triple Throw is Hurricane/Piercing Arrow.

Oh, and Rangers who use Arrow Storm and Snipers who use Piercing Arrow do so much damage that the game autobans you for damage hacks, so we're not allowed to use them.

That's "fortunate"!

Hey wait a second.

The Archer equivalent to Triple Throw is Hurricane/Piercing Arrow.

Arrow Storm... Piercing Arrow... autoban....

That's fantastic. Do you understand balance at all? You talk of Archers favorably, then at the end reveal that their primary offensive skills make them get banned if they use them.

Guild hacking is still going on. Fat lot of good that server check did, eh?

Guild will still be in hiatus. :P

Re: MapleStory

Afro, not everything works. It's hard as hell to code these things into the game.

Shadow Partner didn't work but they found out a way to make it work. You can't just cast it on yourself. I don't know why. They made a work-around, so you have to buy the use of the skill.

Bishops and Arch Mages still get their skills. And trust me, everyone in the game hates them. They just sit at Skelegons or Wolf Spiders or ANYWHERE, really and KILL EVERYTHING. It's not that MP costly when you have 12,000 MP and 5,000 Mana Bulls.

Hermits/NLs can still keep up. Trust me.

When I'm talking about third and fourth jobs for Hermits/NLs, I am comparing it to third and fourth jobs of Rangers/Snipers as well. That's why I'm including Puppet. I'm saying that for Hermits, the only third job skills that work properly are Flash Jump and Avenger. For Snipers/Rangers, the only third job skill that doesn't work properly is Puppet. A lot of the fourth job skills don't work but enough of them to do make it worthwhile. And yes, we can buy Summoning Stones from an NPC.

I may have left out the one factor that makes archers the best class in our game so far. See, the summons don't work as they should. Instead of summoning something, it adds its % ATK to your ATK. So yeah it's like +350 W.ATK. Oops.

Also the mages get that too but for M.ATK. Oops.

So basically, it's Archers / Mages for the top spot, since Archers are insane (ever see a Strafe do 50,000 x 4?) and Mages can destroy everything in the room in one shot. Bandits are insane even without Meso Explosion (does about 15,000,000 damage so it'll autoban you rofl). Assassins, even without all of that cheap stuff, still come in a close third. Warriors are dead last. DKs are the only class with almost all of their skills working and they still do weak damage. My level 200 DK with a perfect Polearm was only hitting 60,000 while in 2x damage critical mode with Sacrifice.

Re: MapleStory

I'm guessing you got back your LocalMS account in some form or another. Would it be okay if I log on and play with some of the fourth job skills sometime? It's getting boring leveling my Spearman for FoJ on Odin. FoJ, by the way, is a killing contest where you spend 1 million to enter the contest and if you kill the most monsters after a certain period of time, you will win a prize and sometimes, this prize can be worth hundreds of millions. Warriors are the best class for this at around 70.

Re: MapleStory

Go nuts. I deleted that Hunter and re-made an Xbow along with a Bandit.

Problem is, they let a bunch more people register so the game is almost always full.

Re: MapleStory

Oh hey. Cool.

Re: MapleStory

I'll never clear my quest log >:X

Oh and Squeek, DK's forte is AoE. Try hitting 6 things or 3 things with your better attacks before you complain about how weak your DK is. That would be like a Bishop walking around using only Angel Ray and complaining about being weak. Yes, DKs might not be the best of the best, but they're on par with the other warriors when they have Berserk active.

Also: no duh Archers are outdamaging everything if they're getting +350 weapon attack. That's just retarded.

This game looks fun, I can't wait to play it.

Oh yes. It's fun for a couple months and then (after you spend REAL money on nexon cash that doesn't have any value) you usually find something better to do......like.........interact with REAL people that actually can speak correctly. For the most part, it's a good game (as long as you like getting ks'ed by 12 year olds)
