Ummm... it's a fake boss. Don't have the stats of a real boss. Plus he doesn't even show the kill of it so I don't see where you can say that lol....



Also I posted this on SW. Really seems to fit here:

I already saw before the patch many people bitching about not getting Showa. Ironic thing? They were level 9x-11x. Which is funny, as if Showa training spots would go to them over the 12x+. Yeah, right.. *rolls eyes* New maps open up for the highest levels and the ones way below want to skip all the current maps and go to them. Like a level 4x going OMG FoG is released *hogs*. Yeah, doesn't work like that.. -_-;

There aren't any high level training spots CURRENTLY in NLC, so I see people bitching already.... Relax. It's a NEW CONTINENT. It's bound to expand, plus it just released.

Economy
But.... 12 atk pots for cheap: 2k each. 20 matk pots for cheap: 2k each. Various elixirs? OMG... HUGE FIX on the economy and is a godsend for warriors and mages who desperately needed a break on their potions. Just as Mushroom Shrine gach did for prices on scrolls and capes, so will NLC for training for warriors/mages.

Heck, 60% mp is great for priests. And now warriors don't need a priest to heal them as their healing is pretty cheap.

Training
Then.... you do have at least one training spot for bowman, crossbowman, and assassins from levels 60-80: the 2nd gryphon map. At least, I'm pretty sure. 220 experience per kill and you don't need to move much. Just use the teles and attack attack attack, up, attack attack attack, rinse repeat. Only problem is falling. If you fall, you get sent back a couple of maps. But it's very easy to avoid since you'll be using mostly the teles. This is a bonus for those hell areas of 7x for ranged.
See:


New Gameplay
Amoria PQ started it, this expands on it, and shows there is more to come. The use of teles are great. They help out a lot. Climbing ladders suck. Teles are fun. And I could see that gryphon map being a blast to train on.

Beautiful
The town is great looking. Did you notice all the stuff in the background and everything in the town? Just amazing. I love it. The music is pretty decent too. Inside the dungeon is rather ugly, but it's a dungeon. :P The jungle is awesome looking! Very nice. The monsters are cool too. I love how they look. So great!

Expansion
New continent. New place. Lots to come. You know it will expand, it just takes time. They got out a lot already. Look how much effort they put into the design of it all. I love it. However, Nexon needs positive feedback, not whining.


Negatives?
No new high level places. But then again, all the 9x will come in and try to take the maps of 12x+ anyways. Thus just more ks'ing, when new maps should free up the old ones for the lower levels, who would already get great experience there. Us high levels (no, not 9x-11x, you have PLENTY of places to train for GREAT experience) are pretty screwed in all areas, except bosses. However, we are the minority and must live with that. New training spots will come, don't you worry. This is the only negative but it may soon be fixed on Masteria somewhere. Who knows. There are no other negatives though. All other levels have COUNTLESS places to train and now gryphon map 2 helps clear up some FoG and Zombie maps of the ranged.


I'm level 131 and I love NLC for all the reasons listed. Please support Nexon in how nice of a place it is, even if most of us won't train there. It's a great addition to the game and I hope you all show support for their hard work. Fun quests, beautiful looking, and interesting monsters. But on top of that, it really is a huge relief for those hard working mages. Those elixirs are so wonderful for them and I'm very happy that they get them. I honestly don't care much about the atk pots; it's the elixirs that really help the game and increase the morale for all mages and warriors, especially mages. They have been seriously hurting for a long time.

Remember, MapleStory is not all about training. And for those who love training, we received 2x, which is a huge increase in experience gain...






Oh then I'll add that boomer thing and wolf spiders dropping lycan drops (ilbis, blue screamers, etc). Not to mention 26,640 hp for 1200 exp. Split properly, the map could be really great experience (along with really great drops).


So yeah, I see no negatives to this patch at all, minus the taking 10 min subway ride after having to travel all the way to Vic.

Especially huge LOL @ noobs like Tosh complaining. Seriously lol.

Re: MapleStory

I think this place is fantastic. Even without the pots (one of which, I might add, makes meditate useless) I'd still feel the same. In fact, Jason told me about the pots while I was having a blast exploring Big Ben.

Useless as far as exp grinding goes, but I'm sure it's good for some and will eventually be good for me as well.

The only problem I have is that the quests are awfully draining. "kill 400 of this thing that has low spawn rate" "get 50 semi rare drops from this thing that has low spawn rate". It's kind of ridiculous.

And yeah I think I'm going to become a MG user at Grims now.

I noticed it wasn't the actual location for papalatus and Musical Master is only level 75, and I saw his exp go up one in the next picture so I sarcastically said he got jipped with the exp.



And yeah New Leaf City is a pretty cool continent/place so far.

Re: MapleStory

The only thing I don't like about NLC is the monsters and the maps. In most places, like ludi or el nath, the monsters all have the same feel. Like, snowy monsters, or clock tower monsters. In NLC, the only monster that look like it belongs in the jungle is that plant. The gryphon is a sweet monster, but it looks out of place, and what are elephants doing in a city. Plus, why are there jr. yetis and yetis in big ben. O.o

I don't like asymetrical maps either. Other than that, NLC is sweet.

EDIT: Oh and lightnight.. I ended up getting around 1k exp. Which is reasonable, considering the hermit I was partied with probably did 3x as much damage as I did.

I remember you. I buddied you back on my old warrior Ikifar.

And instead of the 80% hp/mp, as a priest, you can buy the 60% mp ones for 1.2k. Get a pet with auto-mp, set it to 40%, and bam! Even if it screws up from a teleport + attack and doesn't auto-mp you, you'll still be able to take another hit anyways.

Well, doing that would kind of defeat the purpose. They say that if you can't use a pot for some reason, then the pet wouldn't be able to either, meaning I wouldn't be able to spam SR anyway.

Either way, I'll be trying a few things out soon and see what works best for me. I haven't used pots in a long time, so this will take some getting used to. Anyway, it's all gravy, since I'll be needing to use MG and pots eventually in 4th job, so getting used to it now is great.

Meh, I don't care how much you play this game, you still don't get it.

Blocked again on this account.

Really, you know why I don't wanna join your guild even though I've been invited multiple times? I hate your guts. I hate you to no end.

But seriously, I can't be associated with someone like you at all. You're just too much of a jerk. I can't even say "it wasn't what I was expecting" without you going for me -__-

Well have fun with your game buddy, maybe one day you'll figure out how nice life is, even on the internet, with some basic manners.

Type out some long, insulting response if you want. I have you ignorelisted. I won't even see it.

Re: MapleStory

lol

Anyone notice it's because he WHINES? He wants so much **** in the game that won't even affect him. Most of the stuff goes towards his twenty-five+ level 30-55 characters yet he still whines.

[MarisaKirisame]

Re: MapleStory

Oh look, you probably did it anyway.

They really need to make it so that you can't even see the person's name.

Re: MapleStory

Tosh stop whining about him whining about you whining. It's not going to do any good and you know it.

PS: I haven't logged in yet, but I plan to check this thing out eventually. I'm mainly just avoiding the crowds and such. Tomorrow while Jenna is at work I may get on and move a mule there to get %-healing things. There is a storage guy there, right? Please say yes.

PPS: If there was any possibility that 4th job mage skills wouldn't rape, those buyable pots killed it. =)
