kMSt ver. 1.2.474 – Further Balancing and Changes
Another Tespia patch has been released with some more changes to the things added last patch. I’ll talk about them after, but right now I’m super excited to say, I’m finally level 200! It took me 3 and a half years, but I did it haha (notice the pre-Big Bang UI). Sadly there’s no more blue message, I still got the Sniper Lord medal, Red Dragon mount, and Echo of the Hero though.
kMSt ver. 1.2.473 – Boss, Party Quest, Mercedes and Phantom Changes, Soul Weapons!
Finally, a week before the update, a patch has been released to Tespia! However, if this is all for the ‘season 1 job balancing’, I’m really disappointed, haha. They also added some boss stuff, changed party quests, experience, and even gave us a new system for weapons!
Well it’s not really new, adapted from JMS’ Spirit Weapon system, but people are speculating a new ‘underworld’ area. The NPC above is in charge of it, and some of his dialogue has to do with Eregoth. What could it mean?
MapleStory User Survey!
The user survey I mentioned in my previous post has been released! I know most of you will not be able to participate, but I thought you’d like to know what questions they’re asking. It’s open from today until March 31. If you are participating, you should know that 100 participants will win 10,000 Maple Points (to be distributed on April 15).
Anyways, let’s get on with it.
March Update Preview!
The MapleStory homepage has been updated with new information, including a preview for the upcoming patch on March 21! It seems they are temporarily pausing the Cygnus Knights reorganization. However, it should include something for everyone, so read on!
kMS ver. 1.2.190 – Small Changes and Events!
A small patch has been released, changing some stuff about party quests and Monster Park and giving us a couple of new events. They changed the experience and drop penalty system to have a smaller effect, although the old penalty if you were 21 levels above a monster will now be applied when you are 31 levels above them.
By the way, I’m not sure I mentioned this, but a while back, they changed it so the experience penalty applied to monsters above 150. It made everything terrible for higher levels, we even get lowered experience at Stronghold…
