Have you guys gotten anything from cake boss yet? If you haven't how many things have you seen drop from it? I was going to FM in perion, and I hear "woosh woosh" and I look on mini map and there was a bunch of red dots jumping around, so I go to see what was up and there was like a hundred lvl 10-30s fighting it, so I started fighting it too, about 30 mins later it died and it dropped 7 maple items ! and yeah I got them all =D Everyone was mad at me and was following me asking for maple items so I logged off.

What are your experiences with cakeboss so far?

I understand where you're coming from saying that you were fighting it just as long as everyone else and that you should deserve some drops, but look at this way, a lvl 150 does 49 mill damage to it, and a lvl 50 does 1 mill damage to it, and they fought it for the same amount of time, now who should deserve the drops? Exactly. The same thing goes with any other monster in MS right? Look at other bosses like mushmom, if you get ksed by a high level he still gets the drops even though you fought it too."


Thats not what people are really upset about, what they're upset about is that Nexon would make such a one sided, lengthy, lagged out waste of time event like this.

Yeah, but it's an event. You think that Nexon would cater to the lower levels.....but they haven't. As it is it's always the high levels (in my experience) getting the drops. Because of this I stopped fighting it cause it has too much HP, takes too long to kill and once people know where it is come flooding the place with high level guilds and so forth. Sadly I haven't even got a Maple Weapon at all from normal enemies.....

I think its just a bunch of bull. Nexon does it on purpose. The more people who see the cake boss and can't fight it, the more people who are going to go out and buy 2x cards more and more so that they can level and CAN kill the boss. Then when those people get high enough to kill it, they will go and make a bigger monster next year so that we cannot again kill it. Only those lucky high level people will be able to kill it. Greedy is how I see it. Its not the players faults.

Yeeeh. Right. Can you deal over 5 mil damage without being ksed once?

I didn't know cake boss drops umbrellas =O anyways if cake boss had lower hp and was easier to kill so that lower levels could get maple drops, maple items wouldn't be as special and novelty as they are right now. Then litterally everyone would have them, and they wouldn't be worth anything, just my opinion. I think nexon caters to lower levels in other ways, with new pq's, and a ton of new quests. Another thing, if cakeboss was easier to kill, the lower levels would still be getting ksed by higher levels, except faster, so that logic doesn't work.

I 100% agree with you on this.

I've also tried to fight against level 130ish and 150ish... and lost the battle to get the drops.
It seems fair.

EDIT: Sure im getting a little mad about not getting a single item. but it still fair, most dmg = most drops.
