mlc In Regards to Party Quests

Hi all!

Basil Market is a very important MapleStory Community! As you may or may not have known, the MLC Stopped the 5 PQ per day being introduced for the "Party Quest Revamp". The main reason was because it was not the best solution for nexon to do - due to it's "Quick Fix" solution.

Party Quests have many promising features that could be implemented to help aid in facilitating a better MapleStory Experience. We, as the Maple Leaf Council have discussed options to help with creating a wholesome, more beneficial option for Party Quests.

We recognise the Basil Market community to part take in voicing their opinions about this issue. We also hope to implement some changes in regards to Party Quests and would really love to hear your opinions.

The Issue at this current moment in regards to Party Quests is that there are very few completions of them and thus as a council have come to a conclusion that increasing EXP and giving out better rewards is the best solution! We've come up with a solution but would love to get more suggestions in regards to the issue at hand.

Spoiler AlertParty Quest Point Shop. (?) - Getting Points once you've completed the PQ (PQP: 10~40 - after one party quest completed [Limiting party Quests to 10/day] (Points are bound by Maple ID(?)) *Adding Medal of Honour *Low level cubes *Occult Cubes - No bomb - Epic the highest rank *Superior Nebulite Box (Has a chance to give A, B, C ranked Nebs) *Clean Slates *EXP x2 Limited time coupons *Rewards Points (100~1000) (?) (Limit of 1 per day) (Or 20 party quests need to be done before you can unlock it)

This is where you come in! You have the power to suggest something that could change the party quest system in MapleStory Global. Just keep in mind that the above is what the Maple Leaf Council have come down to. We really encourage everyone to input their solutions so we can strive to make MapleStory better.

[quote=aznunlt]Bring back lmpq for nostalgia reasons.
Bring back CPQ, I would love to level there from 30 - 70 again rather than grind drakes by myself.
Heck bring back every old pq for variety.
Please increase the amount of times to enter dimension pq back to 10?
Have a pq other than dimension pq with worthy exp for people around lvl 140 - 165
Have a pq lvl 165 + that provides exp worth equal or better than grinding at sdh.
Don't listen to that fool saying to have a limit to RnJ.
Make boss pq entries like cra / hard hilla solo-able, it's hard to find people to party with when Americans sleeping or at school.
The biggest factor is to increase the exp for majority of party quests as grinding solo is pretty much unrivaled.
Make CWKPQ available through the dimension portal.
Make it so you can receive a 2x exp coupon as a prize from pqs, BUT only work when in a party quest zone.
Make pq events random, just like how the end of dimension pq the ending can be different to add variety.[/quote]

I would also love to see CWKPQ in the dimensional mirror. Also make it easier to get into that pq; its almost impossible to get enough people to play it.
**This guy has some great suggestions!**

[quote=xmaplelegend]- What I think is that RnJ PQ should have a limit per day, encouraging people to look at other pq's except for just that one pq. Also making monsters stop spawning at say 5:00 left at RnJ.
- Probably making the completion exp way higher would make it more attractive.
- Also removing a hard Level cap for pqs. Eg: why is Chryse pq a max limit of 120?

Also not to be skeptical but how do we know, you actually stopped the 5 limit? For all we know, Nexon probably had no intention for the 5 limit, but maybe just said this to make this "council" look better.

As most people know, you guys already have a very bad reputation of not doing anything and/or communicating with the community enough [looking at your history, this holds true] so looking at both sides, you guys could just be saying this so it looks like you do stuff. [b]I could be wrong but[/b], looking at both sides, this could be a possibility.

Please advise the community. I look forward to hearing back from you soon, so we can get a better understanding of this and I believe, being more transparent and communicating more is the key.[/quote]

What we would like to know is what exactly prompted others to believe that "MLC has not been doing anything and/or communicating with the community enough". Perhaps it may seem that the MLC lacks communication, it is not that. MLC should not be to blame the apparent lack of transparency. The reason why we did not disclose more than a brief statement is due to our NDAs, of which have prevented any member within MLC to provide a clear, concise, and transparent answer to any question the community asked. It can also be noted that the MLC is something completely new and has been running for about 3 months, starting at the end of May/early June. During the first two months, most of the members of the council was missing; therefore nothing could really be started with new people coming in every week/trying to formulate a schedule and such, especially with people living in different time zones. Hence, the first couple of months were nothing more than people trying to settle down, planning meetings so that the most of MLC could attend-trying to settle everyone down in general.

We were informed prior to the 8/19 (19th Aug) Patch that the Party Quests would have a limit from CMArtasi. We as a community need to figure a way to improve the MapleStory Game and by opening up discussion to the public, we as a MapleStory Collective can produce a Better MapleStory. Thank you for your ideas. They have been noted!

@moelesterson
Thank you for your input! Would you suggest those PQs with Bosses have a higher HP and Skill set? (e.g. Stun, Freeze, Slow, No Jump?)

The thing that i see being the biggest issue with party quest isn't so much the rewards tho, its the lack of enjoyment in doing them. Party quest that require collaboration and different abilities to reach the final stage and TEAM WORK to finally take down the boss are whats needed most. a good example of this was pre big bang style guild party quest. What we have in the game atm is more of a system for people to level faster to get to the next place to grind. Adding better rewards is great but still wont change the fact that without large scale changes its pretty much just a grindfest.

Give Experience buffs when finishing a pq, so people can do pq's, finish them, then move onto other pq's just to grind.

[quote=cherrytigers]Is this a google translation from KMS?

Anyways, I agree with most of the things in here except the nebulite boxes. My proposition, which I sent to the Phantom MLC representative, was to revamp the nebulite boxes altogether. Did you guys discuss that part yet? If not, a brief rundown: Instead of introducing a new nebulite box or even introducing a new additional options system (Phantom MLC's idea), just change the old box so that it gives C and B nebs consistantly. Also let it give A nebs at a low chance. D nebs are obsolete and should no longer be given. [b]Also, nebulite fusion tickets can be given as a PQ reward.[/b]

Nebulites are an underutilized system in Maplestory and are constantly being abused by hackers. My proposition will help increase the population of nebulites, while outsourcing/competing with hackers. My proposition will also encourage players to utilize PQs if there is a profit motive involved.

Nebulites are scarce, and we depend on hackers for them right now. This would have a healthy effect on the economy.

I also like your idea with the clean slates as a reward. Perhaps you can even extend it past that and give 50% hammers as a reward? Protection/shield scrolls are a possibility too. Basically, elite boss drops can be given at a low chance.

Could also introduce soul shard drops from PQ bosses. Nothing too special, but always something to encourage people to complete souls.

Best of luck with the MLC.[/quote]

No, this is MLC .
Nebulites are in the works at the moment and have been already addressed! We still need to get word from NEXON about it.
Sure, thank you for your reply, input and appreciation!

Double or triple the EXP for completion. That would make me consider doing PQs.
