    just a heads up, the point of this isn't to be rational or logical, it's just to talk about the weird things you do because it makes you feel lucky / comfortable with certain things in maple

    we're not objectively saying that these all work for everyone, just our personal beliefs that make us feel good lol

    hope u feel better about urself, even tho none of us are claiming that these will work for others, or that we believe them to be fact, just our own personal choices that make us feel comfortable.

    guess that makes u cool huh ? tryin to ruin other people's fun ? great member of the community, no ?

    hmmm, does telling someone what they already know somehow make me cool? im not sure
    but youve already admitted that you know it doesnt work. so... someone telling you what you already know, is making something not fun anymore?
    explain to me how its fun again?

    lol.

    can't even believe im having this conversation.

    Going to be my last reply.

    The objective of having superstitions is much like the reason why we choose our hairstyles, clothing preferences, job preference, weapon preferences .. and a further extention of all these, in the most minute of details, is how we go about operating in order to make our fantasies and dreams a reality.

    They do not have to have a basis in logic or mathematics, they just need a basis in love or spirituality.

    Love isn't even mathematically or logically understood - the only response to this is to say we have chemical reactions in our brain but in life there is something so much bigger and more than can be understood or articulated by our feeble minds.

    You have too long of a way to go, son.

    All this thread is about is seeing inside people's personalities on a deeper, more personal level - relating to personal superstitions within maplestory. It's not your place to judge or criticise or argue against people for feeling the way they feel.

    TBH I do believe in burn scrolling.
    But only to a certain degree.

    It's all based on numbers,
    I forget the law but here's the example.

    Flipping a coin is 50/50.
    There's 50% chance for heads, and 50% chance for tails. (Don't include the edges)
    Looking at these chances if you for example get heads on the first one, you should theoretically get tails?
    Nope, There's a 50% chance on getting both choices, as you can easily get 5 heads in a row.
    So is heads 100% chance?, Still nope. You may see a much higher chance of heads or tails with 20 flips ex. 75% heads 25% tails.

    With a much higher yield of flips.
    Say 1 million, you can see that the number of heads and tails evens out, and is generally 50/50 once again.

    Same can be said with scrolling, like I said only to some degree.
    With a higher amount of burn scrolls (flips of heads), you increase your chance of landing the scroll (flipping tails) as it is bound to eventually work.

    However it's still a high degree of chance, and most people believe in a gut feeling of when this yield (scroll working) is near.

    I remember there was a rumor back in GMS that you could never get to 99.99% EXP. The highest you could get is 99.98% EXP, and then any additional EXP would get you to 100%.

    Flipping heads or burn scrolls doesn't increase your chance at all. Increasing your chance would mean that you'd have a 60% chance of getting heads after flipping heads after a number of times, which isn't true. You could flip a heads on an infinite loop forever and ever and you'd still only have a 50% chance of getting tails. Just like you could scroll 10/10 30% burn scrolls, but you still have a 70% chance of failure every time.

    Common superstition is thinking you have to HP wash to enjoy the game.



    This is a good thread, I wanted to bump it :)

    When hunting monster cards, the more you complain the faster the card you are hunting will drop.
    PROVED AND TESTED!!

    Also 1st and 5th cards always takes the longest (with some exceptions when ppl get REALLY lucky.... but 99% of cases it's true).

    So i wrote stuff about statistics... and I'm not even good at math so you can skip this comment. I just felt bad about deleting it XD
    The statistics is half correct.
    If you have 50/50 chance for something, lets say heads or tails, the chance doesn't change if you keep doing it for each time you flip.
    What changes is the probability of you landing the wanted result more than once.
    Lets say you want to get heads x2 times, the chance to that is 0.5*0.5=0.25
    The more times you need to get the same result the smaller the odds.
    But with scrolls it's different as often the odds to get the wanted result are smaller than the unwanted.... lets say 30/70
    So to land x2 30% scrolls the chance is 0.3*0.3=0.09
    while landing only one out of two is 0.21
    and failing both is 0.49 (almost 50% probability of failing both)
    BUT the thing is.... the more you use the said scroll the higher your numbers will be, and since probability works best at high number of attempts, eventually you'll get 30% of your scrolling attempts positive and 70% of the scrolling attempts negative :)

    SO basically scrolling more means getting closer to the real probability.

    Card drops (maybe all drops) are on a timer. Random minutes out of every hour= higher drop rate. That's my superstition

    I sometimes entertained the idea that certain hour in the day have higher drop rate or scroll success chances XD
