KMST ver. 1.2.170 – Maple Now (24.03.14) & Boss Changes (1)

A new test world patch was released along with a Maple Now stream by Director Changseop! The patch contains various updates to the Union and Profession systems, story changes, and a lot of boss improvements.

Changseop also teased next month’s update, which will feature a Suu remaster along with a new Extreme Mode!

Director Changseop said that this Maple Now stream would be focused on the content being added in this March patch, and he would talk a little bit about what’s coming next month in April at the end of the stream.

Maple Union Reorganization

  • It’s been a long time since they actually updated the Maple Union system. It started as the Part-Time Job system that was then changed into the Maple Union. They added Union Artifact recently but it didn’t really change the base system.
  • They wanted to update the system to include the new Combat Power indicator that was added last year. This makes it easier to see a character’s strength, particularly items, more effectively in Maple Union. Previously, the Union attacker power was based only on levels and Star Force but now it will be based on Combat Power.
  • Previously, there was a sort of soft cap for powerful characters that started around 50m power, but now those characters will probably be over 70m power.
  • Due to these changes, players will be able to get more Union Coins. Together with this, they increased the purchase limits of certain items in the shop and increased the maximum number of Coins that certain ranks can hold.
  • They made some improvements to parts of the system that didn’t match the direction MapleStory was going in, like changing the two daily Union Coin quests to a single weekly quest.
  • The weekly ranking system wasn’t very meaningful for players so they removed it and added new rewards for players that reach certain Union levels to make it a sort of achievement reward instead.
  • Due to the way that Combat Power works where it is only calculated after you login to a character for the first time after they added it, players will have to login to all characters that they haven’t already logged into since Combat Power was added for them to be reflected correctly in Maple Union.

Profession Reorganzation

  • In September 2023, they said that they wanted to work on reorganizing professions in parts.
  • This content is particularly conducive to macroing/botting when compared to grinding/bossing. They want to make it a more meaningful alternative for players who want to spend their time harvesting.
  • Obviously the best way to do this would be to completely stop botting but that is a neverending battle. They are always working on technical solutions but at the same time, they will make changes so that the gameplay of actual players is not significantly disadvantaged by botting players. This is why they made changes like removing mastery decay, removing crafting cooldowns, and adding a monsters killed requirement.
  • In this update, herbs and veins will no longer spawn in hunting maps. This is because bots could automatically change channels and maps to detect harvestable materials, which made them more efficient than actual players.
  • They already had this change in mind before but they knew that many key items that are crafted through professions would be affected if they made all of the changes at once, so they decided to do them in stages.
  • They have moved most of the rewards that used to be acquired from them to other sources like the instanced Meisterville harvesting maps, which have been used significantly more since the last change.

Symbol Quick Path

  • You can now skip Grandis daily quests by paying Maple Points.
  • As mentioned when High Mountain was added, they are increasing the number of ways that Maple Points can be spent.

Boss Pattern Improvements

  • MapleStory’s boss content is essentially end-game content for most players. It’s important to release new bosses for players to challenge but they also think its important to continue tuning existing bosses for players who are still learning and adapting to MapleStory. They want to improve some boss patterns that are not as intuitive like timers or don’t match what they look like.
  • Guardian Angel Slime’s laser pattern’s delay before activating has been increased to give more time to react to it.
  • Lucid’s Powerful Summon pattern will now display a green fog across the map before it activates.
  • Jin Hilla’s UI now displays a timer for the next Soul Cut pattern.
  • Dunkel’s meteors have been removed (except the diagonal ones). They decided this would be better, to make Dunkel match the intended difficulty level.
  • Black Mage’s phase 3 laser pattern’s attack range and effects have been changed to match.
  • Kalos’ UI now has a t imer until the next Machine is occupied. A message when the Watcher’s Roar is about to activate has been added, the delay before it activates has been increased, and it no longer seals you before it activates. The Subspace Teleport pattern’s effect has been changed to make it easier to differentiate from the regular teleport.
  • Kaling’s Taowu’s electric areas’ effects have been changed to be more visible.

Story Content Improvements

  • MapleStory’s story has been written by many people over a long period of time so it’s hard to improve everything all at once. They’re working consistently on this.
  • Arcane River is now old content (he said he actually joined Nexon around the time it began lol), and since it was written by separate people, there are parts where the characters’ personalities and dialogue didn’t really match so they wanted to update their tone and unify them.
  • Elluel’s elves which remained frozen even after Borderless have been changed to be restored. In addition, you can now see Lucid in a special new map in Elluel, where she is being monitored in the story.
  • The Maple Alliance is an important part of MapleStory’s story, where most classes come together to fully begin the fight against the Black Mage. They cleaned up the quest line to make it a better introduction.
  • They also cleaned up some very old regions like Sleepywood, Orbis, and El Nath’s quest lines.

Skill Improvements

  • Illium’s Flow of Battle has been changed to be easier to maintain with an increased duration.

Item Improvements

  • They changed Zero’s Genesis Weapon system to make it harder to accidentally overwrite your potential with the Unique main potential/Epic additional potential option. (Wow Steve’s impact!)

Map Improvements

  • Carcion’s hunting grounds have been improved. When it was first added, it was a very high level area that not many players could actually use, but now there’s a lot more activity there and a lot of the maps are extremely busy, particularly Darkness Falling Tree Trunk 3.

Events

  • The Union Relay event is similar to Tactical Relay. The stronger your Union characters are, the easier it is to get the most rewards. They changed it to remove most of the inconvenience that Tactical Relay like having to go back and forth between characters every day.
  • Now, you participate only once a day for 10 days. You can choose between defeating 1000 monsters or doing a Punch King. Doing the first option will give you 300 points while doing the second can get you up to 1150 points depending on your score.
  • After participating daily, there will also be a daily mission that gives rewards similar to the Halfling’s Treasure Hunt event from the Minar Forest patch where you can choose between a set reward or take a chance to get more or less rewards.
  • The Universe Star Pink Bean event is an improved version of the BTS Jin’s Worldwide Handsome event.
  • The old event had a lot of inconvenient parts, like even the UI was annoying to use. The event is half as long and so they have adjusted the probabilities. Players who participated in that event will remember that it was actually pretty difficult, so they made this one a bit easier, including a sort of pity system. You can disassemble unused letters to get Alphabet Powder to make a specific tier of Alphabet.
  • You can also buy 20 regular Alphabet Boxes per day using 3k Maple Points for players that don’t have as much time to grind and want to spend some money.
  • The rewards include a level 200 17 Star Force Enhancement Scroll like last time as well as the new Syncroid, which is an Android that copies your character’s appearance.
  • The Golden Chariot event is a bit different this time, including being shorter. Instead of the usual 10+ weeks, it’s divided into two shorter periods.
  • Instead of having to stay logged in for one hour, you now have to defeat 1000 monsters within your level range instead.
  • There are two passes this time. The first is the Union Pass which provides items that make growing your Union and training lower level characters easier. The second is the Hyper Pass that is aimed at higher level players, including VIP Boosters and a Transcendent Growth Potion.
  • The Star Force Stage is actually not a huge event but it’s something they have been trying recently where they want to provide more fun outside of the game.
  • Previously, they started live streaming certain maps in MapleStory on YouTube as a test to see if players would enjoy something like that. They wanted to let players share their game experience with others, so they created this event.
  • You can enter the event and pay 500m to get on the stage and share your Star Forcing with other players. This will also be live streamed by MapleStory on YouTube.
  • They added some fun options such as delaying the results of the Star Force on your screen by 5 seconds so everyone in the audience would see it first based on how lots of MapleStory streamers would hide the results or turn their head away.

Other Changes

  • They will be testing a new patching system on the test world starting from Monday. The servers may go down intermittently.
  • It can’t be checked on the test world but as Burning World will be ending soon, players will be moved to the Leap Zone next week. This time, they’re going to add the coin shop NPCs to the map to let players spend their coins before leaping if they forgot.

April Update Teaser

KMST ver. 1.2.170 – Maple Now (24.03.14) & Boss Changes (3)
  • Suu will be remastered in April. These are rough sketches of concept art for the boss and the maps.
  • As mentioned before, they are working on improving existing bosses to make them more intuitive and fun. In addition, players want new bosses and new challenges so they wondered if they could do both at the same time.
  • In this case, they will be adding Extreme Suu, which will be a difficulty level between Normal Kalos and Normal Kaling. Normal/Hard Suu’s difficulty levels will not change that much from now. Extreme Suu will be able to be challenged by more players than Normal Kaling, and some end-game players can try to solo it. They will be adding new rewards to make players motivated to fight it.
  • April is a fairly big update since it will contain the 21st anniversary events, but it’s not as big as a summer or winter update. Still, they want to add new boss content as fast as possible so this content will be included in that patch.
  • This year is also Nexon’s 30th anniversary so there will probably be some collaboration events as well.

Player Comments

  • People were saying that he was ignoring the Reboot situation (in terms of changing mesos acquired to be the same as regular worlds). Changseop replied that he knows that the experience for players who previously played the game has changed significantly, and it’s not that he wasn’t worried about finding a better way, but in the end, they had to proceed with the current system design, and he had no choice but to make that decision.
  • The additional potential meso changes will be done within the first half of the year. They are monitoring aspects like Maple Point consumption but it will be hard to implement it as quickly as April. They don’t want it to have an adverse effect on players so they are waiting a bit more.
  • The next Maple Now stream will be in April.
