General

We genuinely need a higher level PQ system, I don't want to exclusively leech

No way they will do this way to good to be true

Wow, that whole post was beautiful. Nexon really needs to do this as soon as possible. Old maps need to replace the new maps and the new maps should be made hidden streets.

Especially when smuggle was a thing.[/quote]

Maybe in the days when you could glitch it and get 10x more exp than you were supposed to. But from around 2007 onwards nobody did orbis pq.

Meh, main reason I voted yes was due to the megaphone limitation part.

However, getting free mounts and maple points from the PQs is a bit overpowered.

Not really. Yes, most of the content is now pretty easy for most players due to the drop in prices for high-end equips and the addition of other new high-end equips. But trying to reach the complete end-game (50m lines of damage) is incredibly hard if you aren't willing to pour thousands into the game. And although it's now generally easy to get cubes (I get about 2 a day on average from boss drops) it still takes a long time to cube and scroll all of a players equipment to be able to reach the real end-game.

every one of those ideas sounds brilliant.
I love it.

[quote=Piana]Party Quests
Nope, every mob dies in 1 hit nowadays and it's been dumb down to a degree where it's just uninteresting. Make something like GPQ then it'll be more interesting. Stop spoonfeeding maplers with all those rewards and make them spoiled. Did you think we had a lot of cool PQ rewards pre-BB? No! Then why did we do all those PQ a lot? Because those PQs are at least interesting in concepts and require certain class to do play their role (Rombot in LPQ require Thief, Orbis PQ require Thief for haste, Clerics are welcomed everywhere etc).[/quote]
You're kidding yourself if you think people did PQs because were "interesting in concept." People did them because exp was better (or at least perceived to be) than grinding. You mention Orbis PQ. Tell me how popular that PQ was. (It wasn't.)

[quote=iCygnic]@PandaPoet : What are the core issues?[/quote]

too many to describe but I will say that PQ revamps won't be effective because of the large damage gap (an issue). the team effort will be one sided because the funded guy will just solo the PQ. no team effort and no challenge = no fun

@GlobalKorean @aeswag : Isn't it already too easy?
@PandaPoet : What are the core issues?
@nhan1st : Right!
@pyxlxy : That's actually a really good idea, you should post it in the thread!

@Piana :
[b]World Merge[/b] : I agree.
[b]Party Quests[/b] : @pyxlxy had a good suggestion for that on page 2. Actually, PQ rewards were pretty good for their time. The game is far too deep to recover the class roles though.
[b]Transportation[/b] : "All modes of transportation have been replaced by the traditional ship."
[b]Old maps[/b] : If you're going to say that, then you don't support any higher level training maps in the future, right?
[b]Game Zone[/b] : That's actually a good point/idea.

The party quests could work if they capped the damage on PQ monsters in the same way it's capped for monsters like Ikura

Wow, I was about to rejoin Maple then saw it was a fan made patch at the end.

not a single bit (doesn't address the core issues)

Nope. This would make the game way to easy and basically turn it into a youknowwhat server (god this word needs to be unbanned -_-). And IMO the real problem for the future of this game is that KMS doesn't seem to be rolling out any good new updates lately so if that isn't changed the only way GMS could survive is if it started creating it's own content. (Which I doubt would happen)

the problem about old maple that caused nexon to change was that it was considered "too difficult" or "too hard for beginners" or "too slow"

with this system implemented, we're going to complain its "too easy". Sure we get to party quest like old times, but when the boss appears and you just poke it with a level 10 sword and it shows 20m worth of damage.
If we nerf the players, we're gonna quit. If we buff the mobs, we're gonna quit.

Online Store Permits sounds nice though <3

omg i just creamed that was great

i honestly believe with the current population, GMS only needs like 3 worlds total with like 30 channels each

Yes it would help!

@Caeg : Reusing the old maps would be an easy solution for Nexon.

Was expecting this from the title. Just give us better training maps...

Online store permit hyped af.
