  • As a community, we need to come together to ask Nexon for a REAL Better Maple. I especially think content creators such as myself have an important role to play in asking Nexon for a better game.
    Thank you, ‪@coppersan‬ , for getting the ball rolling with the community discussions! And shoutout to ‪@EthosLab‬ for inspiring part of this video.

    Nice video, I also found myself quite in the same position as you where I quit due to the frustrations to all sorts of nexon bs.
    However for me personally, its just the small things such as equip presets, taking 6(?) years for boss reward rooms to finally be implemented, most of the events such as the (summer/winter) event, the anniversary event being kind of a reskin of each other (coin cap, boring event shop, etc.), how the eflames in event shops have a cap, ring swapping being cancer (I mained fp), etc. and all these minor issues really starts to add up. While I'm glad that nexon did add some qols such as the boss reward room, it honestly shouldn't have taken them 6(?) years to add it in, same can be said for equip presets, the standards for qol should be higher than that. Then there are also bigger issues with the game such as class balancing (kanna, hayato), legacy items, familiar, etc. which nexon will never properly address because hurr durr balance of the game. At this point, I honestly think that I wasted 3 years of my life playing this garbage game.

    • @MapleBinch
      @MapleBinch  Рік тому +1

      Glad you made a decision you are confident with! I think the bad thing for me is that all the good things that come to us in terms of QoL are things that KMS implements first. GMS has hardly done ANYTHING that makes me feel valued by the company. I only look forward to KMS patches now; I am always scared for GMS patches.

    im a 280 wh with 9.3k legion on gms reboot been playing since 2016; I have never nor will ever recommend Maplestory to anyone, friend or foe. It's honestly a little embarrassing how much incompetence on the side of Nexon that I'm willing to put up with, their response to fixing issues and lack of communication is comparable to a 2 or 3 man indie developer 10 years ago not a 20 billion dollar company today. So no I can't see the game being worth playing for anyone who isn't already committed to it either through a progressed existing account or high amount of nostalgia for the game. I will say it is the easiest its ever been to level and if nodes and red cards were available in reboot for purchase, early to mid game progression could become extremely smooth. This won't fix Nexon's complete lack of interest in gms and their track record of cutting parts of gms' progression with little to no communication at all. Final thought being nothing makes a person not want to play an mmo more than now unobtainable player power and Nexon just continues to add to that pile, absolutely bizarre.

    Nexon seeing this, knows what they're doing and just doesn't care about GMS anymore sadly. Sure about the profits, but about us. No.
    I had been saying for years, the only way we can hit any company is their finances.

    great video, but curious if you can expand on 0:55. It’s hard to see the silver lining with a lot of the RNG in this game, especially SFing. I know over the long run and a lot of mesos eventually one can hit 21/22 on all their items, but it’s pretty demoralizing the whole way there

    • @MapleBinch
      @MapleBinch  Рік тому +1

      I don't see gear perfection as something every player must have to clear content. Also, as players, we aren't entitled to perfected gear right away. That stuff takes time to get and it allows us to set goals for ourselves in different ways: We can save up a bunch of money and spend all at once or we can spend little at a time to make incremental gains. A lot of what I like about MapleStory is that progression even if it is slow. It's satisfying and along the way you can chill and grind with your friends on Discord, watch movies, or just zone out and think about life. As for bosses, you learn more and more each week about the mechanics of the bosses and your class.
      That's my reasoning behind liking the SF and other RNG systems... It's something to work for and it's a fun way to gamble without having to spend real money. I know that even though my gear isn't perfect, I'll have a fun Star Force session later down the line and make some gains. In between gear upgrades, there's a lot of chill gameplay and fun times that got me there. As long as you're satisfied with the content you're able to clear, then you can take the game at whatever pace you like.

    I feel the same, I love playing Maple but I have absolutely no confidence in Nexon to recommend the game to my friends or ask them to come back and play. My entire friend group quit around the time totem removal was announced (string of events and the totem removal announcement was the final nail in the coffin for them).
    As for the Fairy Heart, probably a hot take but I think that item should be relatively cheap ...at the end of the day it's mostly newer players and people who are looking to make new mains that buy the Fairy Heart. For a new player to drop 4b and then another 1-2b cubing just for a measly 500-1k~ stat gain? Some people have tried to justify the price increase by saying we make more money from nLomien boss mules. I'd be surprised if a new player can even solo nLomien on their main, let alone having a few boss mules. Imagine telling people they had to pay 4b for something like a Silver Blossom Ring, that's basically what a Fairy Heart is.

    • @MapleBinch
      @MapleBinch  Рік тому

      Good take about the Fairy Heart. I know the developers probably made this choice based on large-scale data, but that doesn't even take into consideration the player satisfaction or PR for their company. They should consider more factors than game balance, especially during an Anniversary where the company should be valuing its players.

      (Sorry for the wall of text, I usually don't comment but I never realized how many issues nexon had until this conversation w everyone started and I wanted to put my 2 cents in. I generally find the game still enjoyable too but these are just the issues ive been having and it makes my brain hurt thinking about what I’m gonna deal w if i progress even more w this game)
      This is what I'm feeling tbh. I just returned after playing on and off from 2006-2015. I started in Feb and just went thru a bunch of old quests and maps for the first few weeks taking my time on my old main, so i barely grasped the new stuff til mid March. I was left w 5 chars around lvl. 30-40 and 1 lvl. 143, but the others i had were deleted during world transfer along w my stuff. Started playing w 100m in my storage, which i thought was good, til I realized how quickly that disappeared n just try to boss as much as I can now. I realized I couldn't boss for shit because legion was a thing and my stats were wayy too low. Went from a lvl 43 priest to a currently 213 i/l mage, but cant progress much cause no CRA or abso gear besides what i've been able to afford in AH. I currently only have 3 210+ chars with only the DW having a faf sword that i bought, 3 140+, and the rest are floating around 23-80. I can only clear CHT and Normal for the rest of them. I play w mostly pensalir gear cause thats all i got but damn do i notice a difference w just the faf sword on my DW and having some funded gear on it. It's hard to fund though because of how little i can do w the boss runs.
      Ive working on my legion since March as well as my main and I only have 1800 legion atm so I cant even do NLomien, cant solo Normal Mag, CRA, or Hellux, and cant keep my mesos up cause I need to continuously be SFing different chars to be able to progress, and i found out about sunny sundays after already blowing my mesos trying to sf my main char n secondary mains equips lol. It sucks to not be able to make mesos as fast as others bc my gear and legion sucks. My gear is funded to an extent but its hard when ur RNG luck is just trash lol. Dont even wanna spend cause i wanna save it for the gear that i would get from CRA and now I’m at this wall where i dont even wanna continue.
      I didnt realize I was supposed to watch a bunch of guides on a game through UA-cam before playing, so I wasted so much time and energy doing dumb mistakes and struggling to keep my mesos in the millions, let alone consider buying a fairy heart for 4 bil lol. Thats the impossible for new players fr and if they think we can just continuously farm and kill bosses that quickly to make 4 bil with a new acc then they clearly don't play their game from different people's perspectives at all. They need to be testing their content through new accounts as well to make sure its fair not just through their already established and well funded GM accounts and only looking at how much their bean brigade members are spending/making. Truly love the game for the nostalgia but I would not recommend it to anyone, my brother and I used to play together and hee played w me once this month and had no clue how to do anything and was like yeah this isnt fun I’m trying to relax after work not stress and have no clue wtf is going on, after an hr of me trying to explain how things work to him lmfao. Anyways thats all

    Hey Binch, I don't know if you remember me, but I've shown up in your twitch stream from time to time. I'm not an end game player, but I've been playing seasonally on reboot since 2016. Usually, I come back to the game for winter, play until Feb, and then quit until anniversary. I'll play anniversary and summer, then I'll quit until winter then rinse and repeat.
    With the lack of communication regarding totem removal in reboot (where as we had 6 months for the kishin notice, we got less than 2 for the totem) ignition was a bit strange for me. And I quit halfway through it. With the strangeness of the anniversary, I haven't redownloaded the game, and with the upcoming summer patch being a bit lackluster, I have no desire to pick the game back up this year. If the Korean summer update is bad, I'm not really sure what there is to look forward to. As much as a enjoy the game, I don't enjoy the company, and I feel as if I've been pushed away as a consumer since I started playing again in 2016.
    Not sure if this helps, but I hope you have a wonderful day.

    I've spent a lot of money in the cash shop on reboot. Ultimately I only feel bad about doing it, so I think I should stop. Same thing happened to me with Genshin. I can't support these unhealthy cash shop games that prey upon people's addiction or naivety. The fact that they aren't in tune with the player base, don't seem to understand what makes the game fun, and the lead dev in Korea probably hates MS and definitely dislikes any region of MS that isn't Korea is just more reason for me to distance myself from the game. I couldn't believe it when someone said GMS was a test server for the other regions. How degrading. Fun game and great tool for escapism, but there are much better methods for escapism out there that are much less predatory and are much more rewarding.

    (Sorry for the big text and also for my english, sometimes I suck)
    Maplestory has been my favorite game since FOREVER, it's the only game that I stop playing but I always come back to feel the nostalgic feeling and stuff but I like to use that moments to make progress on my account, I would love to literally just play this game like a real endgame gamer and stuff, I watched people doing Black Mage and other bosses, dodging mechanics and stuffs, this felt amazing for me, but when I was training my best I got the feeling that I wasnt moving at all, I know it's how the game is and stuff but, it's frustating that days of farming most of time is not worth because you arent lucky enough? also the progression doesnt feels rewarding as I feel playing games like FFXIV. ( I know both games are different but they're still MMORPG in the core ) on FInal Fantasy I feel like my time spent there was worth it since I would share those moments playing with my friends at my side! something that doesnt happen at maplestory until VERY late game. For me, I think Maplestory miss a way to connect people inside the game, not only helping with bosses (Which I saw recently that you need at least do decent damage to get the drops, which sucks imo) but also some content that could be really fun to do with a group of friends or even make new friends through that, I saw they introduce some new party content but it's only for really late game and focused for exp gain only sadly. I really miss thoses days where you wait your friends to do CPQ/KPQ/HPQ and stuff, solving puzzles and progressing together, that's the only thing I miss from thoses days, to play with your friends inside the game aswell not only in a voice chat on discord while everyone is grinding in different maps/channels.

When I logged in I was shocked to see everything had changed (This was the Big Bang update, and I hated it). Ever since the game continued to progress at a rate too fast for me to keep up. I logged in (Windia if it matters) maybe 2 years ago just to see the state of the game and it was unpleasantly very different, not to mention the server was dead, even on channel 1. Would it be worth my while to try Maple again in a new active server? Or is there just too much new stuff for an old player to learn?

I may be a F2P leech but thankfully I don't have a sunk cost fallacy attitude now, as Nexon continually handicaps player progress to prolong time spent, so I can just drop the game in its bad state. The prevailing "that change doesn't affect me so idc" attitude has come to bite people so many times. Just look at the 2x drop coupon removal. Look at the unnecessary area removals and revamps they felt the need to do, look at their cube changes that did nothing but ruin the look, their totem removal (totems are busted but they make mob grinding way more fun), there's so much bad, and to cover it, they put a decent but copy paste event on? No thank you. Yes everyone plays at their own pace and style but all this does is hurt someone else. To show I'm not a mindless hater, I will say familiars is a great system. It requires some work, but I was able to do it, didn't pay anything and now I have 3 great and helpful familiars (and no, I don't rely on the HP recovery. That's kind of cheesy). People complained about it because of some other issues but looking back it was a good change overall, even for a leech like me. I will also defend Star Force a bit and cubes a bit. I hate the overt monetization, but I agree with your possibly controversial take that it's a good goal to work towards. I can see the appeal. Maxing gear should be a faraway goal, but the process of Star Forcing (how is it not automatic?!) and making meso is so arduous nowadays that I can't bring myself to defend it. Bossing doesn't feel worth it (I'm in reg server). And I also would not recommend the game to people at all. Yes it's easier to play and Nexon may stop kicking us while we're down now because their master plan is complete, but I've been burned too bad at this point.
    Wall of Rant Text done. Basically, I'm sad that the game has to be mismanaged so badly because I see a lot of good buried beneath a cavalcade of garbage and insults to the players and their hard work, whether they are in end-game, mid-game, or beginners, without much respite besides the obvious stuff. I used to happily play and grind away but now Nexon has made it too poisonous of an environment. An unaware person might happily play, so I'll spare them my grievances. But honestly a """toxic""" community (which as a whole seems schizophrenic about their feelings on the game anyway) can be good to turn some people away. If all minor and major detractors left the community, maybe we wouldn't know some past issues that Nexon buried. Maybe some inside or obscure info (like the flame scandal) would never have been discovered. Sticklers can help get potentially forgotten messages across. Also, sticklers can be around to influence and see or voice improvement when it happens. That's who people trying to improve want to reach, the skeptics. They can get annoying but they're here for a reason, and shouldn't be alienated. People who wish to do so can also organize and attempt change which fails but they tried which is all you can do really.
    Wall of text actually over now. If you actually read through and considered this, thanks and have a good day. Feel free to disagree as I acknowledge my bias and limited view. I love the game, hate the company.
    Edit: I just remembered the terrible transposing change. Now my character has legacy gear, finally!

  • @jeremywright9511
    @jeremywright9511 Рік тому

    Ultimately, Nexon have never really cared. I am surprised they have still remained afloat after all these years considering. Games like Maple have a lot of old school and nostalgic appeal of the good ol' days of mmos being fresh on the market. If they played their cards right they could bring many old players back. Even maplestory 2, which of course died fast, brought so many people together for a short while because people wanted to see where maplestory could go next. It always comes down to the companies' practices, because the games themselves will always have their loyal players at minimum, willing to take the abuse in hopes that something good will come from it in the end.

    neople started to listen to their players and respect their time they put into the game, and now they have new players joining up now.
    Another good game I'm currently playing is Black desert online, Ever since they removed it out of kaokaos' hands, the game has done a 180, and they are listening to the players.
    I'm hoping maplestory gets the same treatment and I mentioned nexon is a busness and we are the investors if the investors don't like what the company is doing they put out and company loses its value and money thus making them listen to there investors.

    @BloodDripss 11 місяців тому +1

    i jsut started a few days ago and i really dont like the game. the intro to the game is VERY confusing, and despite endless searching for guides for questions i keep having, i find absolutely no answers because this game has an empty shell of a wiki. it seems this game is very happy trapping old players in with FOMO and sunk cost fallacies, instead of offering anything actually worth being excited to open the game for. even only at lvl 160 where i am, i still have no idea what exactly the game wants from me. everything you do in this game is so far removed from each other, yet also weirdly seemlessly connected, i never have any sense of where i am in the maplestory world, or any connection to any of the characters or areas in the game, because the game is more concerned with getting me to a high enough level to finally buy junk from the shop. i bought a pet on my first character, but realised later that i didnt really enjoy the character. oh well, i thought. ill just transfer the pet to a new toon since levelling isnt too hard early game. oh wait. i can only have 1 burning character? well that sucks. ill make a new toon just to quickly transfer since the game says i can do burning character on even pre existing toons. oh wait, i cant even transfer the TEN DOLLAR PET? whats that? they have SINGLE DAY LONG RANDOM EVENTS WHERE YOU CAN TRANSFER CASH SHOP ITEMS????? fine. FINE. ill just dump another 10 dollars since its not THAT much right? at least i can just delete my old toon and get my new burning character that i actually like more. OH. WAIT. this made me VERY upset. a whole TWENTY FOUR HOURS to delete a character. no button to skip that timer. i already bought a new pet for my would be new burning character. i hate everything that this game sets out to accomplish. it spits in the face of anyone who DARES to want to try it. it completely disrespects a players time, money, and worst of all, their value as a player. im already going to quit this game, and its mostly because i have faced wall after wall, with not one single helpful option in the game to help me overcome those walls. every other option or menu i opened was twice as confusing as the last, and almost all of them led me to something i cant use, or the game LITERALLY does not even attempt to explain outside of a disgusting text dump. im sorry if you think you like this game. but this game does not like you. it does not want you to log in and have a fun relaxing time grinding mobs. it wants you annoyed, broke, and constantly playing or god forbid you miss another item rankup event that lasts 2 days or something else like it. i wish they could have just found a way to approach the original maplestory while giving it a healthy rework in mid to late game content. now i dont even remember level 1-150

      Honestly as a player from another region, I have no idea what is with this whole hoo-ha.
      I'm not sure how popular jett is as compared to zen, but when zen was removed from sea, the general response was "good riddance, finally".
      I don't understand the meso shop backlash either, in sea the prices were always 4B, always has, always will be.
      Kanna and Hayato being guttered next, I think sea players are generally nonchalant about it, life goes on if Kanna gets guttered, at most they switch to another class and business as usual.
      Controversial take: GMS players feel entitled to have whatever they want, whenever they want.

      @ryanhoang1123 Рік тому +6

      @@JohnDoe-cg8fr I think its more the precident being set with the Jett changes as well as the lack of communication that outrages people. Imagine if they did this with a popular class, like adele or nightlord, that started to bug out and then they decided, fuck it lets just remove the class. Which is pretty much what they did with Jett btw. I'd have been perfectly fine with the change if they did it the way they did in JMS or at least asked what we thought of the class before the axe came down, it came out of nowhere with little regard for the community or the players that actually play the class.
      For the meso shop backlash, I think its more a knee jerk reaction from the community than anything. As it stands pretty much nothing in the meso shop is worth buying for anyone but end game players that are swimming in mesos. The change mainly hurts new or returning players (like me) and isn't really worth buying or even attempting to buy until you are well established with a few bossing mules, and even then I don't know if that would be the case. 4B is a lot of meso and there are a lot of things that you can spend 4B on to get stronger (especially in reboot) like starforcing as a newer player. I'd much rather spend 4B to get all my equips to 17* + leg 2L(or the equivalent) than for a single heart.
      Also with the idea of kanna and hayato being guttered is a bit silly imo, but it is the precedent that is being set from nexon right now. Any class can be axed at any time if they don't find it worth to maintain the class. Especially buggy classes, like hayato has been, that take more time to fix than other classes. I'm more scared for beast tamer being gutted than the JMS classes due to JMS having its own development team and as such Kanna and Hayato will receive bug fixes and other changes from them. Although this does mean that some non-KMS content such as gollux might just get axed instead which would be awful for balance and create MANY more legacy items that are incredibly strong in comparison to what is out there currently.
      I'm not saying there aren't entitled people, but the community is justified to be upset with how the changes were implemented. Something as drastic as COMPLETELY REMOVING an entire class from play is a huge change that should be done as a last ditch effort to fix the game or class. Maplestory is the type of game that you play and find a singular class that you enjoy and want to play for hundreds of hours. It is a major slap in the face if they remove said class with little to no warning. Especially with how little information they gave about the removal of jett and how her transfer would work.
