KMS ver. 1.2.352 – Maple LIVE: Guardian Angel Slime!
The third and final patch of the Maple LIVE update has been released. It contains the new boss, Guardian Angel Slime, meant to fill in the ranges between Normal Demian and Easy Lucid (Hard mode) and between Hard Will and Chaos Dusk (Chaos mode). There is also the boss rewards reorganization, various QoL improvements from the Voice of Maplers initiative, and new daily content for Morass and Esfera.
There were a few changes from the test server update to this one, and they released a notice with the details. I’ll put that at the beginning of the post for people who read the KMST notes.
KMST ver. 1.2.126 – New Boss, Guardian Angel Slime
A pretty big test server patch was released tonight along with a new Inside MAPLE video! The video talks about the stuff added in this patch, such as the new boss, the boss rewards reorganization, and other improvements. They also talk about their development direction for the future, and they included some stuff that will be added in the next few months and the winter update!
The First Golden Hands Awards – Preliminary Voting
The First Golden Hands Awards has begun its preliminary voting! Players can now vote for the user submissions they would most like to see be implemented in-game! The rules require you to have a level 101 character or higher, and you can vote up to 5 times per day per category (you can only vote for a single entry once per day). At the end, the top 50 hairs/faces/pets and top 100 outfits will be given to the judges to decide the final winners.
Of course, voting is only open to KMS players, but you can still check out all the entries here! I’ll show some more detailed instructions on how to look at them and also share a few of the things that I liked and voted for!
Early Termination of the User Advisory Group
A new notice has been posted, announcing the end of the user advisory group. There was a bunch of drama surrounding them, including the things mentioned in the last apology notice and other stuff like certain members being under-qualified or doing bad things without being punished accordingly. At the same time as this notice, Nexon updated the post of the user advisory group’s opinions from the 1st discussion topics, since the user advisory group felt their thoughts were not adequately explained. I won’t translate the additions but basically it’s just things like who suggested/agreed/disagreed with what and some more elaboration on why they did so.
Other than that, there should be a KMST patch tonight, including a new boss as well as some of the changes that the development team mentioned in their last notice.
Discussion Board’s Opinions & Developer Comments About the 1st Discussion Topics
Two new notices were posted today, as promised in the last one. The first is the Discussion Board’s Opinions About the 1st Discussion Topics, a summary of what players talked about on the discussion boards on the homepage. The second is the Developer Comments About the 1st Discussion Topics, which is what the developers thought about the opinions shared by both the user advisory group and the discussion board, as well as what they plan or don’t plan to implement.
I’m not gonna translate the stuff about the discussion board reorganization because these notices are already super long and it’s pretty boring so I’m sure 99% of people don’t care about it lol.
