I know this is kind of a longshot but for those who are playing maplestory 2, is there a way to launch the game without the site? Using the executable works for maplestory 1 but in maplestory 2 it just gives you an error saying to gently caress off and use the site like the bitch you are (that's my approximation of what it says). e: actually nevermind, the reason I wanted to do it was to get steam overlay on the game so I could chat with a friend but I decided to plug in a second monitor instead, even better. If you know how though feel free to answer anyways, for posterity. e2:  I don't know what I want to be

Is there a guide that takes you from lvl 1 to high level and shows you which quests and events and stuff to do? I tried playing a few years ago and got overwhelmed by all of the available content, not really knowing what to focus on and when to just grind out levels.

The quests that give decent-to-good exp are usually the ones that are class specific and the ones that are found in theme dungeons like Mushroom Kingdom or Ellinel Fairy Academy. The rest of them are generally time-inefficient but can be fun to read through once in a while. Nexon NA usually does a good job with writing/localizing! If you just want to grind then use the burning character event and follow these rough guidelines: 1-10 Tutorial 10-25~ Flaming Golems outside Henesys 25-34~ Curse Eyes (the green ones) outside of Ellinia 34-46~ Gold Beach (talk to Irvin in 6-Path Crossway) (use whichever map is the easiest to move around and can be killed in 1/2 hits) 46-70~ Drakes outside Sleepywood OR Skeledogs in the Perion Excavation Camp (Drakes is really crowded sometimes, and both of these mobs are mid 60s so it might be slow to kill them at first) 70-140 Romeo & Juliet Party Quest stage 3 grind (It's really, really good! Especially with Kanna/hs/Beast Tamer!) OR Evolution System (might be slow nowadays) OR Monster Park Extreme from 100-140 (Strong mobs that give a lot of exp, 3 entrances per day plus a chance at more if you kill the boss) 140-150~ RJPQ if it's not too slow for you OR 140+ Dimension Invade (lots of monsters, they hit kinda hard, you don't need to kill the boss for good exp(and you probably can't!) 165+ Stronghold in Future Henesys 195+ Scrapyard in Edelstein (Dunno if this is good, haven't tried it yet and it's brand new) You can earn up to an hour of 2x exp coupons per day by playing minigames in Star Planet (don't forget to accept the daily quests!) and there are usually 2x events every weekend during the big patches (Summer, Winter, etc.) from 3am-7am and 5pm-9pm ET.

Rolled a beast tamer, seems pretty fun so far. drat there's so much stuff everywhere. I'm picking up all sorts of coins and tokens and medals and boxes that give even more items. I can't even keep track of all this crap.

  Bought 2 Black Cubes with Reward Points, first one made my hat legendary. Second one did nothing to my (unique) pants, but I'll take what I can get! This is actually my second legendary item. My first one was my shield, which also happened thanks to Reward Shop Black Cubes.  For laughs, the 12% HP on that hat only gave me like 1.5k max hp, lmao. BaM passives OP!

After playing a bit more of maplestory 2 I noticed that there are hacking bots in nearly every map of the game  it's a bit sad to see that so early in the game's life.What's funny is that they work just like bots in the first game, they teleport to monsters around the map and kill them before teleporting again.

The devs have tried to implement measures to stop them from having a big impact, like preventing trading of mesos, having market transactions take 48 hours to clear, stripping mesos from bots and raffling them off to players, but ultimately I don't know if there's a good way to stop them, as long as there's people willing to pay for in game currency.

Is this something Nexon NA bothers to do, or are they still having tons of bot problems? I remember games like mabi and vindictus being chock full o' bots when I quit them years ago, but a cursory search of The Internet seems to indicate things haven't changed much... Anyhow, enough derailing from me, I guess. Who's excited for the next ms2 content patch this week?!

In terms of content, I'm not 100% sure except that there will be new areas, 4 (5?) new raid bosses, and then a bunch of new field bosses.

I remember games like mabi and vindictus being chock full o' bots when I quit them years ago, but a cursory search of The Internet seems to indicate things haven't changed much... It's not something they can really do without core modifying server side code to be able to log a lot of completed events. Nexon korea culture is to keep your head down, obey your supervisor, do not ever make waves. You could kill almost all botteraccounts near instantaneously, without them being able to bypass some antihack, etc. and apply machine learning techniques to it with look for statistics and outliers. ex. Level above 80, has never done RJPQ once, is logged in more than x hours a day, average skill casts per second across the day above y threshold, has NPCed a higher than baseline amount of items - you could likely get close to no false positives this way, without needing to trust the client in any way for your data. The legitimate people that don't effeciently do RJPQ upon hitting 70 likely will not meet the rest of the conditions, like newbies that complete all storyline quests instead of only efficiently levelling would not meet x hours per day in combat outlier search. Consider average map travel time trained across all users in the userbase: if an average person takes 9 seconds to flash jump or teleport across map 1 to 2, you can also use this to remove/kill off botter which fly/mousefly/teleport-hack, assuming you log portal entry and exit times. It's not possible to bypass in virtualy any way without spending that amount of time to slow down; your bot would sleep for 10 seconds to prevent being catched by this case. But that means 10 seconds severely slows down ability to do bot and come back to the map. So you also slow down the entry of illegitimate gold make.

Press auto assign, bam you're done. The only character who doesn't all their points in one stat is Xenon, so don't worry about it. Also, as of the latest patch you can buy full stat resets for 7m meso!

Red Bones posted:Can any of you cool MS2 players explain how the player housing stuff works? You can rent apartments for X amount of mesos initially, then pay a percentage of X as monthly rent. (edit: looks like it's 70% of X) These are like high rise apartments, in that they hold 1000 players or something each. You interact with the building and can select your own room or access someone else's if you know their room number. Next up, you can also rent a house that's actually on the map. Those go for at cheapest 3.X million mesos initially and range to just under 6 million. Same deal with monthly rent. Then, finally, are the plots of land. Those go for 14?-ish to 40 something million mesos initially. Those let you literally build whatever you want outside in the game world, and you can select the style and size of your house. Have fun paying the upkeep on that though! GlenQuagmire fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Aug 7, 2015 |

That's kind of good because it means you can't just camp the plots forever unless you also play the game forever which is obviously a win in Nexon's book. If this were like the year 2000 all those would be gone never to be seen again by the first week and they'd add more a year later.

If this were like the year 2000 all those would be gone never to be seen again by the first week and they'd add more a year later. What's also cool is that if you have a sweet-lookin' house, the nexon GM team will actually come in and visit + take screenies to post an article on the front page of the game site. Even though there are 200 channels, each house is in its own instance, so no matter who goes inside you'll all end up in the same place at the same time. This can lead to some ridiculously laggy homes where there are tons of people afking or chatting. Some of the richer guilds paid for those exorbitant plots, and even built mazes/jumping puzzles inside. They also use custom tiles on the outside to advertise the guild webpage and whatnot. Here's a recent example from the gm chronicles. This dude built a public bath house.  (2x2 custom plot. top right is a custom skin block) Here's the interior floor plan. He must have spent a fortune in mesos + real money. Each water tile costs $3. Each one of the bathtubs is a custom NX item.   edit: Here's some of the custom 2x2 plots in my housing district:

If you stop paying rent and lose your house, does it save the room layout? I'd be interested to know if player-made dungeons are on the cards at all, since that seems like a really good way to add a shitload of content really easily. I dunno if the game is fun enough that people would just run a well designed dungeon sans any xp or item drops, or if Nexon would need to do something like vet the top 20 dungeons each month to make sure they aren't weird and exploity, and then add in-game rewards for finishing them. Either way if people are already making mazes and platforming puzzles this seems like a pretty obvious next step.

I know from experience that if you break contract and switch apartments, the game just dumps all your blocks back into your inventory (there's a custom tab just for housing junk, so it's not mixed in with monster drops). The game's been out for about a month, so most contracts won't start expiring until... right about now, since they run on 30 day cycles. I assume letting your house expire means that all your blocks go back into your inventory. Also, if you have an outside expensive plot or individual house, you can rename the building so that when people mouse over it they will see "GOON-HOVEL" instead of something like "Evansville west plot 7".
