What the hell do I have to do to get into Empress?

It's been over 2 hours now and I've had my character sitting there with a stapler on the spacebar key spamming NPC chat and I STILL haven't got in. At least 4 people have came out of nowhere and beat me to it and it's pissing me off. All I want to do is just try to solo V2's for ONCE and I can't because there are always a ton of people there wanting to get in just for $ including a bunch of stupid Kaiser hackers. It's nearly 3:00AM in America now...what sort of time can I get on to secure a spot in the damn place without waiting hours?

[quote=thatricksta]cool! thanks for all the info

what sort of attack range would I need on my kaiser to solo zakum?

sorry for hijacking thread btw xD[/quote]I'm not quite sure. Why not try it out yourself? Kaisers are very strong even without high funding. Just make sure you bring a lot of all cures and potions with you.

Shouldn't be too hard, 15-20k should do it, just make sure you always have around 2-3 Wing Beats up and always use Tempest Blades.

[quote=thatricksta]is there still a minimum amount of people you need to enter?

ive never been able to complete zakum since my computer was never good enough all those years ago however now i can finally do it [/quote]There is no minimum player requirement for Normal Zakum, Normal Hilla, and Von Leon Expeditions. You can enter them by yourself. Von Leon is available in all channels.

@thatricksta: Yup, and you don't need party members for either of them too.

does that mean for zakum you dont have to wait around anymore?[/quote]Yes. They changed it so you don't have to wait in order to enter normal Zak, normal HT and VL.

[quote=thatricksta]I do find it rather incredible that after 8 years of maplestory they still hvae not got instanced bossing... limited to only a couple of parties per server a time... pretty bad[/quote]

They do, such as horntail, and zak. Its just not for every boss.
OT: Good luck!

I don't cap, I just want to try something new in this game, and the loots I get I want to give to people who need it including a few alliance members.[/quote]

The sad part is that this is what the game has come to, and will continue to be like until instanced Empress.
And if on the off chance that you manage to get in... BAM DC HACK.

That's why the hackers are beating you.[/quote]

You are not worthy to challenge the great and mighty empress! You lack the patience and will!
Come back when you're ready to prove yourself.

PRAISE EMPRESS CYGNUS!

Early morning, like 5-9 AM ish, is usually fairly empty in GAZED. I tend to go right after midnight because it frees up my day for whatever I want to do.
