KMST ver. 1.2.160 – Special Skill Ring Changes & 2023 Maple Vision Talk!

Last night, a new test world patch was released together with the Maple Vision Talk for the second half of the year. Director Wongki has become General Director Wongki and Planning Team lead Kim Changseop has become Director Changseop!

This patch contains some of the things mentioned in the Vision Talk, like being able to upgrade Seed Rings to level 5, and some other changes like a lot of Grandis map improvements.

2023 Maple Vision Talk

Introduction

  • The Vision Talk started off with Director Kang Wongki, who revealed that after 8 years of being Director, he has moved on from his position. He is now the General Director of MapleStory, which includes Korean MapleStory development, overseas MapleStory development, MapleStory Worlds, and all other parts of the MapleStory franchise. He said he would be putting all of his effort into making the IP more popular.
  • To replace him, the Planning Team lead Kim Changseop has been promoted to Director.
  • He talked about how he was ready for the position but now that he’s actually there, he’s worried about the things he might do wrong and all the things he wants to get done. He also expressed his sincere gratitude to Director Wongki, who was his first team lead, taught him everything he knew, and made MapleStory a great game.
  • He said he was so excited when he first joined the MapleStory team, being able to work on a game that he loved. And now, he’ll try to continue his work with that same feeling.
  • After reflecting on the things mentioned in the last Vision Talk for the first half of the year, he decided to make some changes. Since the 6th job advancement showcase, many players have come to MapleStory, and now that the summer update is coming to an end, he feels relief and gratitude but also some regret for the things they couldn’t prepare in time.

Update Timing and Composition

  • For MapleStory, it’s a very clear schedule where updates are concentrated in June for summer and December for winter. Various content is added or improved together with big events in a short period of time.
  • This is good in that this content synergizes with each other and lets players better feel the improvements in game quality. But at the same time, there are downsides where this schedule slows down the change cycle. Some updates might be implemented later even though they are needed earlier.
  • He thinks that the game’s update speed is just as important as its update direction, so starting from this August, they plan to properly allocate development power to allow for more frequent and timely updates.

Special Skill Rings

  • Origin Skills were added in the 6th job update, but they were difficult to use with Skill Rings because of the short durations. Since players are still in the process of getting used to these skills in their rotation, he decided that it was the right time to adjust this as quickly as possible (an example of the more frequent and timely updates mentioned before).
  • They have added a new system that lets you upgrade existing level 4 Seed Rings by using mesos and an additional material. This material will drop from the newest set of bosses, including the difficulties added this summer. This system will also enhance the rewards from these bosses.
  • This summer, they added the Continuous Ring to add some variety in the meta, but since Origin Skills were added in the same short period of time, the existing short duration burst rings were still a better choice. Therefore, they have buffed the base stats of the Continuous Ring and made it the only Level 5 Ring that has additional effects when upgraded. In addition, this Ring is meant for fighting bosses so they improved it by making it activate only when you hit a boss monster.

Professions

  • Professions are a core system that provides a lot of essential items like Wealth Potions, Experience Potions, and Boss Killer potions. Since it’s such an old system, it definitely needs fundamental changes, but they want to improve parts of it as soon as possible, starting with the September update.
  • First of all, they’re going to change it so that players can get all Professions at the same time.
  • The existing logic where mastery decayed after reaching Craftsman and Meister rank will be removed.
  • In addition, they’ll add a personal field that you can enter after meeting certain conditions to make it easier to craft items.
  • These are simple and quick adjustments they are doing now to make the system more accessible. But the Profession system hasn’t been changed in a long time, so there’s many things that still need to be improved. After this, they’ll continue to look at play patterns and the flow of item production then take any necessary actions.

Improvements to Displaying Combat Related Stats

  • Many different factors affect MapleStory’s combat. In addition to that complexity, the current UI configuration is so scattered that it’s hard to check at a glance (for example, cooldown resets). You can’t check elements of your own character as well as other players’ characters which is very inconvenient.
  • They’re aware of this issue and are trying to implement a solution as fast as possible. They’re planning to add something this October to make it easier and more accurate to check your character’s combat stats.
  • It’s difficult because there are so many factors. (Are you fighting a boss monster? What level are you? What’s your IED? What’s your buff duration?) These things are always changing, so they need to add some way to show them.
  • They also want to add a way to check other characters’ stats and be able to compare your combat performance to others.

Story

  • This summer, they added Arteria and Carcion. The level 285 area Carcion wll probably stay as a challenge for players to reach for a while so in the second half of the year, they want to expand the story in a different way rather than adding a new area.
  • Usually, the story only gets expanded when a new area or new job is released, which always happens in the summer or winter. But it doesn’t have to be this way. They’re going to try to do more horizontal stories with things focused on other characters or background stories for each area.
  • In October, they’re planning to add a new Episode to Dimensional Library.
  • They will also be keep updating Maple Chronicle to allow players to see more past stories.
  • Starting from September, they will improve existing stories’ structure and content like Heroes of Maple, Pantheon, and Gate to the Future.

Job Remasters

  • He started off by apologizing for not responding quickly enough to players’ desire for Remasters. They were not able to work on it as fast as expected due to how their development power was allocated.
  • As mentioned before, instead of remastering entire job groups at once, they’re going to focus on remastering jobs one-by-one as needed.
  • In November, one job will be remastered.

Hexa Matrix

  • He thinks of the 6th job advancement as Phase 3 of MapleStory. It was designed as both core content and end-game content, but since it hasn’t been fully implemented yet, there’s still shortcomings. Their goal is to complete it as fast as possible.
  • Their first priority is to add Mastery Cores and Common Cores. Mastery Cores are the most used, and it seems that they didn’t make as big of a change as intended. There’s also differences in utility for each job so they will add the other Mastery Cores as soon as possible.
  • For Common Cores, they previously talked about how they exist in the showcase but they haven’t talked about what they actually are or how they work.
  • Their current goal is to add Mastery Cores and Common Cores this December.

Monster Life

  • They are planning to replace Monster Life with a completely new system.
  • Monster Life was first added in 2013 and in the 10 years since then, it has become a main system that provides important stats for MapleStory players. But when you look back at the intentions behind its introduction and compare it to how it’s used now, it’s very different and has not been maintained for a long time which makes it feel inconvenient rather than fun.
  • They thought that it would be better to replace it with new content that provides similar stats. This will have a big impact on gameplay so they are being very careful with the new system and are trying to have it ready for this winter update.
  • The changes to Monster Life in the test server are simple changes to alleviate the inconvenience of using the system in the meantime.
  • This new system will be introduced in Reboot World as well. Together with this system, they are planning to make numerical adjustments to the combat stats currently being provided in Reboot.

Update List

  • August: Addition of the Special Skill Ring Enhancement System, Monster Life Convenience Improvements
  • September: Profession Improvements
  • October: Combat Related Stats Display Improvements, Addition of a New Dimensional Library Episode
  • November: Job Remaster
  • December: Addition of Mastery Cores/Common Cores
  • Winter: Monster Life Removal and Addition of a New System

Gifts

And of course, our new Director has prepared some gifts for everyone.

  • 3 Sol Erda
  • 2 Maximum Growth Potions
  • 10 Experience Core Gemstones

Overview

Dropped Item Ownership Process Changes

Items and mesos have been changed so that their drop ownership is no longer removed, even if a certain amount of time has passed after they have been dropped.

  • After the August 31 maintenance, the ‘(+) Loot Unowned Items and Mesos Skill’, ‘(-) Loot Unowned Items and Mesos Skill’, and those skills applied to pets will be removed.

※ Please check the official server notice for information on refunds for unused items related to the (+) Loot Unowned Items and Mesos Skill and (-) Loot Unowned Items and Mesos Skill, and the effects used on pets.

When items and mesos drop while in a party, the drop ownership will now be given only to party members in the same map instead of to all party members.

Special Skill Rings

Special Skill Ring Polishing

You can now augment certain level 4 Special Skill Rings to level 5 with a certain chance by using Polishing Stones of Life and mesos.

When trying to Polish a ring, you can choose the number of Polishing Stones you will use. Based on that number, the Polishing success rate and the amount of mesos used will be set. The success rate and mesos used based on the number of Polishing Stones used are as follows.

Number of
Polishing Stones
Success RateMesos Used
110%500m mesos
220%1b mesos
330%2b mesos
440%3.5b mesos
550%5b mesos

When your Polishing succeeds, the Special Skill Ring used as material’s level will be increased to level 5.

Polishing can only be used on untradeable Special Skill Rings.

The following items have been changed so that they can be polished.

  • Restraint Ring Level 4
  • Continuous Ring Level 4
  • Risk Taker Ring Level 4
  • Weapon Puff – S Ring Level 4
  • Weapon Puff – D Ring Level 4
  • Weapon Puff – I Ring Level 4

  • Continuous Ring: When the Continuous Ring is equipped, there is a 120 second preparation time. After the preparation time, using an attacking skill will increase your boss damage by 160%, attack by 12%, and magic attack by 12% for 8 seconds. Re-activation cooldown: 12 seconds.
  • Risk Taker Ring: Consumes 600 HP. Increases attack by 50% and magic attack by 50% for 40 seconds. However, if ou are hit, the buff will be removed. Cooldown: 180 seconds.
  • Weapon Puff – S/D/I/L Ring: Consumes 600 HP. Increases STR/DEX/INT/LUK by 400% of the equipped weapon’s attack/magic attack for 20 seconds. For Demon Avenger, HP is increased by 17.5x this value. (This applies the weapon’s attack or magic attack, whichever is higher) Cooldown: 180 seconds.
  • Ring of Sum: Consumes 600 HP. Increases main stat by 2% of the sum of all stats for 20 seconds. For Demon Avenger, HP is increased by 17.5x this value. Cooldown: 180 seconds.
  • Crit Damage Ring: Consumes 600 HP. Increases critical damage by 28% for 20 seconds. Cooldown: 180 seconds.

The following items have been added.

  • Polishing Stone of Life

※ The Polishing Stone of Life can be acquired from all difficulties of ‘Watcher Kalos’ and ‘Kaling’ (except Story Mode) at a low rate.

※ The Polishing Stone of Life can be traded between players. (However, in Reboot World, it is untradeable.)

※ ‘Item drop rate increasing’ stats will apply to the Polishing Stone of Life.

Other Changes

The Continuous Ring’s effects have been changed.

  • The skill has been changed so that it activates when your attack hits a boss monster after the preparation is complete.
  • The skill now gives 4%/6%/8%/10% attack/magic attack when it activates, in addition to the existing boss damage.

The readability of the levels displayed on Special Skill Rings’ icons has been improved.

Monster Life

When combining monsters, the rate of Special category monsters appearing has been increased. The appearance rates are as follows.

Monster RankExisting RateChanged Rate
A+12%15%
S7%10%
SS3%5%

The maximum Waru storage of all buildings has been increased to 400% of their current limits.

When using the Auto Harvest feature, it has been improved so that all buildings’ Waru will be harvested at once.

In this update, we wanted to make it easier to collect Waru and increase the chances of getting A+ rank and higher Special monsters to alleviate the burden of overall play time in Monster Life.

In addition, since Monster Life related products will no longer be sold in the Cash Shop, certain actions that required Gems like extending monsters’ lifespans will be changed to use Waru instead on the August 31 official update. We ask for your understanding.

    “Starting from September, they will improve existing stories’ structure and content like Heroes of Maple…”

    When they say this, I assume they mean the individual 6 heroes, rather than the blockbuster?

      August 24, 2023 at 10:49 pm

      He specifically said Heroes of Maple so I think its the blockbuster

    The numerical adjustments in Reboot make it sound like they’re nerfing the Reboot-exclusive beginner skill just to redistribute its stats into the new Monster Life replacement. They’re probably going to make us do more work to get the same effects.

    Finally, no more profession decay. Took ’em long enough.

    I’m interested to see who the remaster is going to be for. I’m hoping Phantom. It’s a cool character but it has a lot of issues. Can’t even find people to steal skills from in dead servers.

    Thanks for the translations.

        Um… what why would you want it to require more effort to get less stats than now?

        Nah, just remove old passive and make it mvp gold above gv 20% FD diamond gv 40% FD red gv 65%FD. So reboot players can contribute sales to their f2p server.
