A Changed MapleStory
As a follow up to the MapleStory customer conference which took place last weekend and a precursor to the test server patch which will be released tomorrow, MapleStory’s director Kang Won-ki has released a letter to players titled ‘We will repay you with a changed MapleStory.’
MapleStory Customer Conference Summary
The MapleStory Customer Conference finally took place yesterday in Seoul! It was an 8 hour event where 4 members of the MapleStory team discussed various parts of MapleStory with 10 invited players. Although I didn’t watch it all live (since it was 1AM~9AM my time lol), I was surprised at how candid they were about some issues and they actually did promise a lot. Some of the players did not let up either which was pretty funny.
Obviously, I will not be translating the entire 8 hours from start to finish, but they actually provide background information and reasoning for some of their questions which was interesting. I think there are some users on the MapleStory subreddit who did more thorough translations if you guys are interested in that. Mine’s going to be a sort of SparkNotes version of the conference!
Of course, I could have missed certain information or misinterpreted it as this was a long event with a loooooot of talking, so please let me know if you see any mistakes.
MapleStory Customer Conference Details
The MapleStory Customer Conference has announced the 10 players who were invited to the event to talk to the MapleStory team. There is also a new video from the director Kang Won-ki, and details on the event (which were released earlier but I didn’t make a post about it).
Developer Comments on Opinions Left on the Discussion Board (3/25/2021)
The dreaded blue Maple Admin banner once again… this time it’s comments from the developers about things people posted on the discussion board!
KMS ver. 1.2.346 – Yeti x Pink Bean World!
The Yeti x Pink Bean World is open, where you can make your own Pink Bean or the new Yeti character! There’s also the Solo Army vs Couple Army event and the return of Haste. Other than that, the patch includes various improvements and bug fixes.
This is the first real patch since Nexon said they would be more transparent, they now include Developer Notes for various changes and also, yesterday they released a notice with a few additional changes they would make from KMST to KMS based on feedback from users. I’ll include those notes in these patch notes (in the Yeti x Pink Bean World section and the change to skills that affected unattackable enemies).
