@ItzATrapp: Okay well I completed the 4 bosses and no cubes dropped from the chicken/boxes you open. Now this seems more probable of something Nexon would do. Low drop rate, in turn this will not affect the market in any sorts.

[quote=lancemd9]The hats available from the Chaos bosses have the [Joker] attribute, which allows them to substitute as a hat piece in another equipment set. Does anybody know what this means exactly? What I think it means is that you can have 2 hats at once? Not sure. Explain please. D:[/quote]

Real question, are we actually going to get FREE protection scrolls? AND FREE clean slate 20% no boom?
Time for me to scroll 270+ att dbg? FOR FREE?

That moment when no one realizes they don't DROP from the bosses @ Occult cubes, you get them from the boxes (which you unlock using Yggdrasil runes) which have a fairly common drop rate. I doubt they'll have much of an effect on nexon's sales. Especially since korea didn't have this problem when they got false miracle cubes from things like zakum or hornedtail.

@Aeronomx:

If a couple thousand Maplers get 4 cubes a day (especially people with multiple accounts and hackers who obviously have multiple accounts) it can really add up. If I could get 4 cubes a day one on of my non-funded characters I would be pretty happy.

@minipokemon:

I see, I must have misread that. Then they are better than the cubes in KMS.

[quote=Singaporean]At this point you're obviously either in denial or unbelievably stupid.

So, let's break everything down yet again, but this time, by unraveling your monkey-like post.
1) You want to talk about idiocy? How foolish of you to assume i'm angry. Just like every scrub online who gets into a debate about something and wants to 1-up someone.
2) I didn't know I had to spell out that, no I do not literally mean 24/7 but constantly. It should be obvious. Also that just deviates majorly from the topic at hand.
3) How is admitting one got trolled stupid? You think I care about saving face in front of a scrub that's never seen my face?
4) Your section about me admitting my idiocy is rife with errors. First of all, speak proper English. Collect? Huh?
5) Now why would I walk away when I'm right. That's akin to walking away from a baby because one feels it could be left to its own devices....
6) I am not smarter than everyone who screws with me. In this case however, I can't even say I'm smarter than you simply because I am a human and you are a monkey. I don't know if you are pretty smart for your species so it's just incomparable...
7) I doubt i'll get banned for calling you a scrub and a monkey but your swearing might seal your fate.

I wonder what you'll have for me next...

EDIT: kind of disappointed at you allmustdie because you obviously didn't read from the beginning. You know what they say about people assuming.... and I find that offensive.[/quote]

@ItzATrapp: Ehh I see what your getting at however... I doubt it is that simple. On that note "reset the Potentials on equipment (much like Miracle Cubes available from the Cash Shop) of Unique Tier or below." they can be used to make items unique. Although anyone will be able to do so. I am sure the drop rate will be very low. If zak/ht dont always drop zhelms/ht pendants there is no way these things are gonna drop cubes often.

I am quoting the wrong thing you said, but on another post you said that you will farm the heck out of the cubes. I found this pretty funny because you didnt seem to have the thought to read the whole update notes thread on the maple website. If you read carefully, it says you can only kill the bosses 1 time a day. But this is not limited to how many times you can enter. Either way, if you can only kill all of them bosses 1 time, that makes 4 kills a day there (-There's no daily entrance limit, but once the boss has been defeated, you cannot enter again on the same day.) Even if every boss dropped a cube it would only be limited to 4 a day, this would hardly make an impact over a couple of days/hours. Just like the saying, don't count your chickens before they hatch. Chances are that the drop rate on these cubes will be so low you will only obtain 1 cube every couple of days.

[quote=DragonBandit]Cubes will obviously drop at a very low rate. Other wise nexon would lose millions. Either that or they have an equal chance to downgrade as upgrading the item. Nexon is not about losing money. There is a catch to these cubes.[/quote]

It will actually work in a different way than you think. A certain situation was presented in economics:

There are two guys, Bob and Bill. Bob is unemployed and Bill is a rich mofo who works everyday. The government taxes Bill, and gives Bob, who has no job, money. Bob goes out with this little money he has, but realizes he wants MORE. To do this, he has to get a JOB. This situation was presented in economics as one way to get more jobs.

In maple talk:
Bill is a rich funded no life AB that always buys cubes and crap. Bob is a poor and unfunded nib, but nexon decides to give him cubes. Bob gets cubes and manages to epic all his equipment, and for once, has a decent range. But decent is never enough isn't it?

This may or may not stimulate cube sales, but we'll see.

The cubes come out of the sealed boxes guys, so as it is you need to spend at LEAST two runes to have a chance at a cube. Even if they don't make the drop rate on them super low it'll be a pain to get them.

Don't try and use words like 'defiant'. You're not ready for that yet. If someone says your shoe is untied and you look down to see that it isn't, would you look again if they said it 2 minutes later? Obviously not. I came into the thread assuming someone else was posting something from southperry but it was THE SAME LOSER WHO TROLLED THE OTHER THREAD. If my "attempt" to insult your intelligence is lackluster, it's only because your intelligence is easy to insult and thus only worth a lackluster attempt, monkey.[/quote]

Guy trolls in other thread, posting link to previous patch notes
Girl clicks link and got trolled
Guy makes new thread showing same/similarly titled link

Now, should the girl:
A) click the link knowing full well that guy has struck a previous thread?
B) dismiss entire thread as some guy trolling
C) 1+1=3

As I am the girl in question, I chose B.

However... given your response, it seems like you would choose C had you been in my shoes....
