Thread 723248705

How did Nexon manage to drop the ball so hard with this game? They had something amazing here but then they managed to fuck it all up. I miss all the social stuff this game had and the minigames.They should have just given map & scripting tools to the community and turned it into their own Roblox clone.

>>723248705 (OP)
it was totally sovlless

>>723248705 (OP)
The focus on raids was a massive detriment to the game. It introduced the same kind of bullshit powerspike the potential system brought in to the first MapleStory.

>>723248705 (OP)
are there private servers so i can see how it was? i missed it completely.

>>723248705 (OP)
death to nexon

sex with the bunny girl

Just literally take the assets and slap it on a 2D Plane
It's that easy

>>723249107
Apparently there are some in the works but nothing major yet.

>>723249107
Most of the fun came from all the original shit people would make in-game and all the minigames, it wouldn't be the same with a dead private server with 20 people playing

>>723251787
damn, i thought so. i was looking at some youtube vids right now and it did look sovlful with the decor and midi and uploading pics and assets. the crowded minigames looked fun too.

ignore all retards in this thread, the real reason the game flopped was because they made a bee-line main quest that was the only thing that mattered when leveling and killing or participating in every other activity, even exploring was not as rewarding, if not at all. The entire point of maplestory was the slow grind with the ocasional rare drops, but MS2 didn't not have that. After you lvl capped all u did was daily gathering(daily cap) daily dungeons which once you unlocked a certain gear score you could move forward and basically if you wanted anything cool u had to be a paypig.

Honary mention of failure on Nexon's part was the late implementation of some kind of season pass that could hook the casul players into dropping 10$ per month and milk the whales for other shit, but nexon sucks major balls at marketting so they didn't do anything cool or creative. Also terribly de-sync, sPvP was absoulte garbage.

Why was MapleStory 2 oddly weirdly sexual? MapleStory 1 didn't have any fanservice.

They didn't release enough porn of it

This game is still in my steam most played and it doesn't even have a steam page anymore

I miss is bros

>>723250768
Im erect?

>>723248705 (OP)
at the very least, they should've shoved these two succubi in the main game when 2 closed

>>723255154
>they put outfits based on two literal who house keepers instead of mint & vanilla
i'm glad ms1 got the duck pet & mount at least but it deserved to get way more from it. i'd kill for mini pets of those two or androids.

>>723256013
seems everything surrounding meipu satori 2 is just wasted potential
maybe it was an idea that came from a suit and the devs just didn't have the passion for it

>>723254024
the power of sexy shorties

>>723257714
Erm....that's an orgasm.

i sure hope the artist behind these designs is doing well for himself

Mint sex

Why is so much SEXO stuck in a shit game

>>723258975
it wouldnt be a kmmo if it wasn't
they're all like this

>>723254024
Anon, we had Shumi since launch.

>bee-line main quest that was the only thing that mattered when leveling and killing or participating in every other activity, even exploring was not as rewarding
Why does it feel like nearly every MMO does this shit now?

>>723259265
And since 3 years ago when they censored her.

>>723259419
even regular maplestory did this, they put in a "main quest" last year that makes leveling 5x faster than regular grinding and every class now has a mandatory 1-30 tutorial questline with shitty unskippable cutscenes. 90% of the game now up to level 200 is holding down the interact key to get through cutscenes and dialogue, im not even exagerrating
its really really bad

>>723254237
I didn't play much, but it was the only MMO I liked and could get into

>>723248705 (OP)
By the time it came to you it had already flopped hard.
>>723249107
I remember trying some private server a few years back but I have no idea. The game is not good anyway

>>723252889
It was so fucking tragic. The world was gorgeous, soulful, and fun to run around and explore, but there was no reason to. You would just teleport to quests so you didn't even see it on the walk through. Professions were idle clickers in your instanced home instead of nodes in the world prompting you to find them and interact with other players. There was some platforming but very early on they give you a free flying mount to skip it all. They did absolutely everything wrong.

>>723259419
Decision on a management level. They think modern MMO gamers expect this and they would be right, only people who've played MMos for the last 20-30 years have had different experiences.

wasnt there also a huge scandal where they were giving free shit and gear to streamers

>>723252889
>>723259419
It's really a shame open ended, grindy MMOs kind of just died off. Just give me a big world, a shit ton of maps to explore, monsters to kill and gear to grind and I'm happy. You can have a story or quests too if you want but please focus on those other things.

>>723261541
BDO is still kicking it if that counts.

>>723261309
MS2 getting hit with the railroad stick sucked so much ass. The Reset patch was the biggest mistake they ever made

>>723261814
Maybe things have changed but when I first tried it years ago I really didn't like how much it just grabbed you by the nose and dragged you around instead of just letting you fuck off after a tutorial segment.

>>723248705 (OP)
>They had something amazing here
They literally didn't
MS2 played like a mobile game, looked like it was 10 years late, and made all the maps some ugly cube stuff instead of just being isometric view alone
The music stuff was great, some of the designs were great, but the gameplay was bland, the grind was bland, and the community was just full of mouthbreathing speedrunners, whales and endgame elitists

>>723263992
i dont think i experienced the game in its earlier stages
from what i remember, the first few main questlines didn't bar content from you and could be completely ignored
i know now they have a few which unlock pretty big QoL and some challenges/content, but those are the newer questlines
