Re: MapleStory

hmm....

On another matter, my Bone Helm. Since I rarely (almost never) use it, should I sell it to make some more money? Opinions please.

Re: MapleStory

I dunno. I use mg all the time on my fire mage and it doesn't drain my pots. If anything, it saves space in my use inventory, which is very very limited. You are also forgetting to consider that you have mp eater and you regain a lot more mp just running around then hp (which is none at all). I don't get hit very much so mg saves money for me, and I don't have to pot as much. Meh, it is all personal preference.
O_o

Yeah, I don't get hit a whole lot, and the w.def I have helps lower the damage I get, which lowers the MP lost when I am using MG. Plus, I only use 2 Mana Elixers at a time when I recharge MP currently, which is only 1.2k for each set of 2 mana elixers. 100 x 600 mesos = 60k; easily affordable for me.

Re: MapleStory

Yeah, same here.

For some reason, GameGuard on MapleStory never lets me in. GameGuard on other games works fine, just not the one for MapleStory.

I'll never understand it, so I just uninstalled the game.

I think I know what you're talking about because I might have the same problem.. GameGuard always freezes on one step, can’t remember which. But one time I didn’t click cancel and try again, but left it to see what it would do, and after about 7 seconds it unfroze and did it’s thing. Maybe you have the same problem?

To clear things up for you guys: Accuracy (for all classes) is based on two things. Your accuracy stat (accuracy for melee attacks, int for magic attacks) and the difference in level between you and the monster. Basically, the lower level you are compared to a monster, the more of the accuracy stat you need to hit it. That's why archers, despite having TONS OF ACCURACY, still miss things many many levels ahead of them. So tsugomaru, it was your higher int AND your higher level that made you hit zombies more often.

I KNEW IT! It made no sense to me how Tiger had 4 base dex and only +32 (I think). I was always thinking “How the hell can he hit pap last body?” and grims and stuff… now it all makes sense…

You're had 2 100+ f'ing warriors and don't know about accuracy? Ugh... You fail.

Lower level = more accuracy needed to 100%
At or above = certain level of accuracy needed to 100%

Once you get to the level of the monster, the accuracy stops decreasing and it stays that amount of accuracy forever.

Oh and Tiger had +40-50 dex, though he has better equips now as Craig took off some items from Tiger for his contribution to the character. So I believe Tiger (Gavin) bought a better overall.

1 dex = 0.8 acc
1 luk = 0.5 acc

Helm adds acc from dex, luk, and acc. His helm is 41.5 acc. You get acc from mastery so that's 20 acc. You get acc from bless so that's another 20 acc.

It all adds up.

Re: MapleStory

Oh and while we're at it, just so you guys know: Defense works the same way, doing more as you're underleveled. Once you're at/above a monsters' level, their defense doesn't do as much as when you're under its level. Basically, the game wants you to fight weak ****.

And IAAW, I'm telling you, especially once you max MG and become a cleric, using MG will be a total waste. ESPECIALLY after you become a cleric. As a cleric, you'll be able to heal yourself to full HP easily, so MG is a total waste. The only reason I use MG now is because of my massive MP regain (I think it's near 130 per 10 seconds) and MP Eater (absorbs so much MP from things) my MP never drops. At this point, though, it's a waste. Trust me.

EDIT: Oh my, looks like MSEA gets Jipang tomorrow morning. http://www.maplesea.com/intro/notice...otices154.aspx

This'll be the 4th version to get it (JMS, KMS, ThMS, now MSEA). We oughta get it before too long (ThMS and MSEA both have about the same stuff we do). Once we do, I'll send my low level characters straight to crows and hit 40 in no time. XD

Ah, I think I understand now. I should've seen it before; it's obvious that I won't really need Magic Guard due to the fact that I am going to be a Cleric, and am gonna be able to heal myself anyways. Ugh, I can be so hard-headed at times.

Re: MapleStory

Noah, I'm sure we're getting Amoria and Korean Folk Town before Jipang.

You need it eventually.

You just don't need to use it during training. Ever.

You WILL need it to walk to Zombies, party at bosses, etc.

Re: MapleStory

Coolies can be pretty much skipped if you want now.

All you'd have to do is spend a little longer at wraiths, then go to soul teddies. You might level a little more slowlier at teddies (or your later levels at wraiths), but who cares.

The only ABSOLUTE need for MG is the big bosses like Zakum, Pianus, and Papulatus.

Re: MapleStory

Noah, I'm sure we're getting Amoria and Korean Folk Town before Jipang.

Hence me saying "before too long" instead of "soon". I consider 3-4 months "before too long", and if you think about it, that's about how long it'll probably be. For one, it seems another version gets Jipang every month, and only a few versions don't have it. Secondly, we've been getting a patch about every month (more like 3 weeks really) so I figure in 3-4 months we'll have gotten a few more areas.

And hell, neither MSEA nor ThMS have Helios tower, and ThMS doesn't have Peach Blossom Island. We'll definitely get Amoria next (they have it advertised on the site already and everything, after all), then probably Korean Folk Town/Jipang. No matter what, I'll be very happy in a couple patches.

Oh, and if we get Jipang soon he may not need to go to zombies or stay at wraiths. I'm fairly certain there's tons of awesome undead mobs in Jipang. Should be interesting to see how the population shifts when it's released in our version. The last thing to really change where people train was Ludi, and that was a HUGE transformation in the game. I have a feeling (depending on how much of Jipang we get) lots of people will end up training in Shouwa at Anego/Bains. I kinda hope the Anego-isn't-a-boss bug is in our version so I can level up with a quick 40 seconds of poisoning. XD

Re: MapleStory

Jipang kicks ass. Yay for the little shibuki warrior princess girls or whatever they are called. They are like DTs except they mob very well and have low kb. And the weapons factory bains map =O GOOD FOR ARCHERS HOLY ****. People will be maxing rain first now, and also puppet =) And this will make leveling SO MUCH EASIER. I'm happy. Very happy.

Re: MapleStory

MapleStory will be going through a scheduled server check today.

This one involves the game servers, and it'll last for approximately 1 hour.

<MapleStory Server Check>

- Server : All Game Servers

- Time : Wednesday, November 15th, 1:00 am ~ 2:00 am EST

(6:00 am ~ 7:00 am GMT)

The website will be available during the server check.

Thank you, and Happy Mapling!

-The MapleStory Staff-

Maybe, after this server check, all the wierd lagginess will go away? That would be a huge plus.

Re: MapleStory

IAAW - don't get my hopes up. I got up to 94% today and I lagged; died. I went back down to 88% and I was super pissed.

Glady I made it back up and leveled to 60 ^_^ SO happy! If the lag were to go away I would be super happy. If it doesn't, I know in my 6X levels I will level up super slow cause I'll get annoyed by the lag.

Re: MapleStory

For a while my lagging seemed to have ceased completely.

Then later I played and my item pickup was delayed.

Anyway, if a server check can fix the lag, then the physical move of the server wouldn't actually be the cause.

Re: MapleStory

I hate the server check. I hate it. 98.37%... dammit haha.
