PQ Equip Bonus

Not sure whether this has been documented but couldn't find it in patch notes

Resized to 76% (was 790 x 472) - Click image to enlargePosted Image


Pq equips now have a set bonus which is not bad for lower levels.

But I counted only 6 types of equips. I wonder what the 7th is? Could it be the new overalls from the new pq tang yoon. Anybody got the overalls can confirm?

Sudden removal of Conor Justice Shop

Not to make a big fuss, but, the sudden disappearance of Conor the Justice shop makes me kinda disappointed.

I have about 200 Justice coins unused. Dont you think they should announce that they'll remove it first before they doing it so?

I understand that the Dojo event is long past, but they remain it there for some time is like giving us some benefits but I find the sudden removal is a bit too much. Players would have used up the remaining coins properly if they announce the removal beforehand. Now what shall I do with the remaining coins? 


Wasted my effort of doing the Dojo everyday just to get those coins and I didnt get to use it now.
Does anyone have alot of unused coins like me too? :(

Tangyoon's Cooking Class (lvl 60-90)

Since there's no guides for this party quest at all (not even on Google), I decided to make this guide. Tangyoon's Cooking Class is for players from lvl 60-90, and can be done in a party of not more than 3 people, meaning you can go in solo as well.

From MapleSEA General Discussion Forums

Gist of this Party Quest : 

You have 5 items to add into a dish which will be shown to you. You have to choose a monster to summon for the dish to kill (lolwhut), which will then cause the monsters to appear on the top of the chopping board for you to kill (another lolwhut).

Posted Image
CHOP SUEY!!

Trololol
The monsters will keep spawning for about 3 minutes, during which you can choose to wait for all of them to spawn then kill them all in 1 shot, or keep killing them until they stop spawning and the next selection begins. You have to kill all the monsters on the chopping board before the next wave can be started.

Posted Image
Choice 1

Posted Image
Choice 2

Posted Image
Choice 3

Posted Image
Choice 4

Posted Image
Choice 5


After the 4th selection, some ember monsters will appear at the bottom, which you have to kill all 5 in addition to the monsters on top.

Posted Image
Palate-Destroying Flames


After all 5 waves are done, you will then have to add salt to the mixture, which just requires you to press the button according to the numbers required, which will slowly fill up. Clicking it correctly will give you a WA/MA +10 buff for 20 minutes.

If you chose the right monsters for the dish and added the right amount of salt, your dish is a success and you will summon the God of Cookery, a large pig at the end. If not, your dish is deemed a failure and a Trashcan will be summoned. The God of Cookery has a buff which only allows critical hits to get through, similar to Ani, while the Trashcan has WA/MA cancel.

God of Cookery

Trashcan


If your dish was a success, after killing the God of Cookery, you will get 2 Chef Certificates and some EXP. You only get 1 Chef Certificate if you fail, and the EXP received is approximately halved.

Posted Image

Exchange 3 of these certificates for Tangyoon's Chef Overall, or 5 of them for Tangyoon's Chef Hat. There is a 2-set bonus of +15 to STR/DEX/INT/LUK, +500 HP/MP and +8 WA/MA.

Clearing 3 successful dishes also nets you the medal of A Great Chef.

Posted Image

Recipes and Monsters Required:

Note - If you chose the correct monster, you will get a message saying you should expect great dishes. If not, you will get a message saying the pot smells funny.

Escargot - Chubby Snail, Red Snail, Orange Mushroom, Wine Bottle, Potted Sprout
Chopped Noodles with Mushroom - Blue Mushroom, Chopped Noodles, Mushmom, Bellflower Root, Bubble Fish
Cold Jellyfish - Jellyfish, Cool Jellyfish, Sr. Bellflower Root, Ice Piece, Potted Morning Glory
Fried Pork - Ribbon Pig, Very Fat Pig, Fire Boar, Nependeath, Octopus
Slime Pudding - Slime, Cube Slime, Cherry Bubble Tea, Snowman, Chocolate Syrup

Salt dosage is random everytime.

One round takes approximately 20-22 minutes out of the whole 30 minutes. The experience is nice though, nearly 1 whole level for 1 round at around lvl 7x for my KoC.

That's all there is to this Party Quest. :)

Also, just a screenshot of a chopping board full of snowmen.

Unlimited patch spells the doom OF MSEA?

http://maplestory.ne...atch%26nxid%3D6

So apparently, unlimited was the worst thing to happen to maplestory. Looking past all the flashy new classes and features, it actually ruins the game for most of the high spending players of the game and thus Nexon's player base and income is also diminishing rapidly. Did a quick search yesterday and apparently unlimited killed KMS, when the patch hit, around 70%+ of the population (majority of those were end game bossing players) left and they had do things like merge 9 worlds into a single world due to the mass exodus.

Here are some of the reasons why.

1. Although hyper skills were given, and stronger more OP classes, the raise in damage was not met with a raise in bossing difficulty. Basically you power rise by ~ 50%, whereas bosses like Cygnus difficulty raised by 500% (4x more hp, 3x less people you can bring in, 1/2 the time given). I'm seeing this happen to many of my BL now. Many are considering quitting since after investing 2 or 3k in this game and getting full legendary equips, they are unable to even farm Cygnus instructors for some basic income. Partying up works to very little success since you need insane DPS now to even let Cygnus summon her 2nd set of instructors for armor farm. 

2. Additonal options. Whilst it may be a godsend to unfunded players as now they can get good stats from mass farming equips, it spells doom for all your current equips. Basically, you can flame your equips, but since you can't change it once you do, your current equip is pretty much screwed if it add crap stats like +2000 hp. All your current equips are thus current worth as much as a rock, since for eg, Cygnus now drops +16 ma glove and 144wa DBG CLEAN, so if you are a perfectionist, the sad thing is all the money you invested in your godlike equips is gone, as they are no longer godlike. 

3. Addtional pot. Whilst everyone thinks oo I'm gonna get 2x the pot on my equips I'm so OP!!! The fact is that you are REQUIRED to spend these extra $400 or so on each equip to even have a chance to down bosses is too much to handle for most top bossing players. What is important to remember is that all bosses are NOW BALANCED AROUND YOU BEING MUCH STRONGER DUE TO ADDTIONAL OPTIONS AND POTS.

Apparently GMS community banded together to reject the unlimited patch as it killed KMS and they didn't want it to kill GMS too. And GMS has a tendency to actually listen to players and not copy paste (they quote how KMS thought lumin system was too hard and thus they implemented a GMS lumin version. I'm not sure about lumin and their version but it seems like GMS was happy to get theirs). Thus thats the reason unlimited has not arrived yet at GMS.

Any thoughts? Basically what AS is

Skip ALL THE WAY till the part where KMS BUFFS ALL BOSSES TO STUPID DIFFICULTY.
In the process SKIP ALL THE CRAZY DPS CLASSES that can actually help to meet with the increased difficulty (I know its not skipped but delayed released by a few months is bad enough).
Skip all the free gifts event that came inbetween.

All in all, I can't believe that I was fooled by AS move. Essentially AS is currently trying to skip over to bring ONLY the difficulty increase to encourage more spending WHIST trying to give you the LEAST options to get stronger. Its a very very smart move on their part and I have to say, well played. This is just to inform all you guys of their true motive of bringing over unlimited so quickly.

Lastly, I'm very worried that this too may spell the doom for MSEA. Since I know many big spenders that are too fed up and tired with trying to keep to to Maple's power creep, having to invest thousands upon thousands more to kill the same boss. And this is VERY dangerous as people who go bossing are big spenders which feed AS the money it needs to survive, and with them leaving... Maple may very well close shop

Welcome to MapleStorySEA Season 2 prediction thread! Instead of predicting upcoming content and sometimes date of new content release (which we had been doing for YEARS), I shall twist it a little for this round only - Predict the ground event celebration in Singapore! Something new, isn't it? /yay

For prediction of ground event celebration in Malaysia & downtime duration, please head over to this thread by LuvDWayULie.

The reason for doing this is:
  • Most of us know the release dates for 5 new jobs all the way up to July 2013 according to its associated new job event dates (if you do a little research in this forum). Hence, there is no point predicting what is next in the new content. So, special thanks content extractors for getting the client data out. (wink)
  • Annually for the past 7 years (2005 - 2012), there is always a ground event for MapleSEA. Are we going to have it for the 8th year? (Not to worry, I had included 1 additional option in this poll - No ground events)


Season 2 is the biggest content update in MapleSEA's history! Larger than the total content update of Episodes 2 & 3! Those who have examinations coming (yah, like ME!), try to focus on examination preparations. This also implies that I will not be able to update this thread regularly from 06 May 2013 to 17 May 2013 afternoon. (sob)

While most of us anticipate about the upcoming Season 2 contents, I am sure that we will never forget some of the incidents which made by Asiasoft:


** This was 1 of my comments in locky's thread: http://forums.playpa...ost__p__2662838
In the past, players give nicknames whenever the server downtime has extended for hours for many times: DelaySoft, ExtendedSoft, and other simi Soft they can think of.

Now... wait a minute, I shall let loose my tongue exclusively for this thread because I cannot tolerate their inaccurate in-game event information since many months ago!

PrematuredEndEventSoft?


Asiasoft, if you are reading this (and other related threads especially those listed above), what shall be your resolution?
