The first patch this summer’s MapleStory: Reboot update has been released! This patch contains character balancing for over 30 jobs, as well as some changes to the Star Force system and the new Battle Statistics system.

The Reboot update will take place over 5 patches, including changes to levelling, stats, and equipment, a new 2D skeleton animation graphics engine and a new job Kinesis, the Reboot world, a reorganized Mu Lung Dojo and Korean Folk Town and finally a new 18-person raid boss Urs!

Skill Changes

Here are Nexon’s goals for this balancing update.

• Jobs with low combat efficiency had it increased while jobs with high combat efficiency had it decreased.
  • To the best of our ability, changes are being made without affecting each job’s characteristics and fun.
• Utility ability adjustments
  • Jobs with multiple utility based skills have had their effectiveness and cooldowns adjusted.
  • Draining skills will now be based off of your character’s maximum HP instead of the damage dealt to monsters.
  • Binding skill abilities and binding skill resistances have been changed to follow the same logic. (I believe this means there are no longer different ‘types’ of binds to disallow stacking)
  • Jobs with a low number of utility based skills have had their effectiveness increased.
• Combat pattern improvements
  • Some jobs’ combat patterns have been changed slightly.
  • Many cooldowns have been adjusted to create equality.
  • The performance differences between weapons for jobs which can use more than one have been mitigated.
• Inconvenience improvements
  • Buff skills’ casting delays have been decreased.
  • Jobs’ buff skills have had their durations normalized.
• Skill damage increases’ text explanations clarifications
  • Skills that increase damage, increase attack, or both have had their descriptions clarified. (note: this is probably only an issue in Korean because the words for damage/attack have been used in place of each other sometimes)
  • Skills that increase damage additively will now state ‘%p damage increase’, skills that increase damage multiplicatively will now state ‘% damage increase’, skills that increase your damage multiplicatively but are multiplied last will now state ‘% final damage increase’.
  • ‘Damage increase when attacking bosses’ has been renamed to ‘Damage increase when attacking boss monsters’.

Note: for those of you who have been following the test server updates, I did a quick skim through and it looks like there were no extra changes from the test server to the real server. However, if you do find a mistake, please let me know so I can correct it!

All Jobs

• Final Attack skills: these skills will no longer activate Damage Reflect
• Summon skills: maximum damage limit has been increased to 1 billion (1,000,000,00)

Final Attack Skills’ Logic Changes

After the addition of the Battle Analysis system, our development team which was previously unaware of the issue found out and promptly fixed it.

Bishop

Bishop has many utility skills, which is intended, but because they do not have cooldowns, they can be used continuously and undermine the suspense of battle.

We also increased Execution’s number of hits to be more useful in boss battles. In addition, it was frustrating to have your Exceed stage reset if you switched between Exceed skills so we have removed that. Thousand Sword was adjusted to make it worth its long cooldown.

The new Battle Statistics system has been added.

• The Battle Statistics system allows you to measure the damage you do and the mesos/experience you obtain in a certain period of time.
• You can access it through the Menu -> Battle Statistics button.
• You can minimize/maximize the size of the UI if you want through the menu.
• While in the maximized UI, in addition to the total damage you do, the system can also measure the damage per skill, number of times a skill was used, and number of hits.
• The Battle Statistics system can measure up to 60 minutes at a time. If you leave it on for more than 60 minutes, it will automatically stop measuring.

At the top of the UI it says from top to bottom, left to right: battle time, average mesos acquired (per second), total damage, average damage (per second), experience acquired, and average experience acquired (per second).

On the left side from top to bottom is: total damage, % of total damage inflicted by that skill, average damage (per second), number of times used, average damage (per usage), number of hits, maximum damage (per 1 hit), minimum damage (per 1 hit).

You can use the drop down at the top to sort the skills by any of the above categories.

The Burning Project event has returned and will run until July 22!

When you log in, you can choose one character to be designated as your Burning character. A firey effect will appear behind them on the character selection screen.

• Your Burning character cannot participate in the Ultra World Leap event. (look below)
• You can only choose 1 Burning character per Maple ID.
• Your Burning character must be below level 100.
• Your Burning character cannot be a Pink Bean class.
• Once you choose your Burning character, you cannot change it.

For those of you unfamiliar with this event, your Burning character will enjoy a few benefits. First of all, for every level up you achieve, you’ll get 2 more! This will apply until you level up from level 99 to 100 (and then promptly to level 102 haha).

All Burning characters will also receive a Snail pet with 5 hours of life.

After you reach level 100 (or higher I guess), you’ll get a full Black set including the hat, cape, suit, weapon, and secondary weapon.

Finally, the Ultra World Leap event has begun! The first part will run from today until July 1 and the second part will run from July 2 to July 8!

The World Leap event allows you to instantly move 1 character to another world, by talking to Isaga. The Ultra World Leap event has enhanced this process, allowing you to move up to 6 characters per world.

After talking to Isaga, you’ll be given a choice of which of the current worlds you would like to move to.

After re-logging in, you’ll find your character in the new world!

However, there are a few rules and regulations which will affect you if you participate in the Ultra World Leap event.

1. Up to 6 characters per world can be moved. (this limit is separate for the 2 parts of the event, so you can potentially move up to 12 characters during this event)
2. Characters under level 33 when this event started cannot move worlds.
3. Burning characters and Pink Bean characters cannot move worlds.
4. Your Mu Lung Dojo, Donation King, and other ranking based content will be reset.
5. Your regular quest information and other game data may be deleted. Your buddy list will be deleted.
6. Items in your storage will not be moved with you.
7. If your Cash Storage is shared with other Adventurers, only Cash items in your inventory will be moved.
8. Your character will be removed from the guild and alliance they are currently in before being moved.

In addition:

• Characters who are moved during the 1st part of the event cannot be moved again in the 2nd part of the event.
• You do not need an empty character slot in the world you would like to move to (however, you cannot move to a world in which you already have 36 characters).
• You cannot cancel the world transfer after you choose, so please be careful.
• If you are married, it will take 24 hours to divorce before you can move worlds. (your rings will be automatically deleted)
• If you have any Friendship Rings, you must talk to Isaga and delete them before you are able to move worlds.
