How to Include Monster Carnival in MapleLegends

RaGEZONE is amazing, anyways..

I don't think CPQ would be worth doing if it doesn't give EXP like it would normally do in the original MS if the reason is the get the pendant it could perhaps be given out as a reward in a different way?

I'd also like the pendant in-game, hope something happens though its a cool pendant.

 

CPQ as a gambling mechanism would be amazing. Especially if you can implement a UI to actually facilitate it officially. Like a trade screen that only goes through for the winner.

 

I posted this in a recent thread about possible content that can still be added, thought I'd just add it here too. Basically I'm advocating zero exp, zero reward Carnival but with a leaderboard, so that it becomes a competitive thing for people to take a break from grinding their 4th job characters.

 

The well of spite in their hearts is what keeps good players going. Knowing they can destroy everyone else in cpq is enough of a reward, even with no exp involved.

Add gambling and bad players will no longer be able to acquire their fortunes, so it's a win win

 

I've been thinking lately that CPQ would be a great Moderator Event. No exp, not even the mobs inside, and whichever teams win get a trophy, random scroll, and a scroll of secrets, while the losers get a participation trophy and a scroll of secrets - like in a normal Mod Event.

 

no thanks, leaderboards makes things toxic.

 

Personally I'm in favor of bringing it into Legends in a vanilla form, but only letting people do it once per day or something like that. That would make win-trading a lot harder to organize and also prevent it from overshadowing other content.

 

On a personal note, I felt that CPQ is one of Neckson's worst additions to MapleStory as a whole as it creates a sort of already toxic competitive culture - MapleStory is supposed to be about Co-Op and Team Spirit and CPQ unfortunately doesn't make the grade and can create toxicity in this already toxic internet world.

However, *MAYBE* as some mentioned here, it can be out for a limited time as a Moderator/GM Event. Though it CPQ is already a game about who is stronger (and a well funded Assassin can already beat a team with no funding)

There are also more things to note, the only worthwhile item to get in CPQ is Spigelmann's Necklace. The other items are just not worth getting and aren't really worth millions (I remembered back in PBB Maple, the best magician wand you can get from CPQ is a Cromi, which is already being dropped by Faust).

Also considering that CPQ's exp payouts, whether you lose or win is kind of generous, this will outright kill LPQ, EPQ and LMPQ, especially CPQ is accessible from multiple continents and not just Ludibrium.

 

Cpq is the greatest thing to happen to maple, only sad thing is that its only for lvl 30-50. Cpq2 really wasnt as good but still decent, i would love to see a cpq for 4th job or even 100-119.

 

Assassins are the one of the worse class in CPQ btw. A godlike-funded lvl 50 assassin stands no chance against first-char lvl 45-50 50 int warrior. If you are playing real competitive, obviously u wont spawn rombots against assassins - you will fill the entire map with teddies to take advantage of them not having cleave.

 

Inb4 those times when.

- "Swap win", sometimes ur swapper bails out or runs away. Can't report that to a Neckson GM because they suck and it could create unnecessary issues for ML GMs here.
- You get booted and replaced easily because ur a 31-35.
- "normal" mode, if opposing team has a carry or funded player, get ready to be spammed with those disable summons.

When I did play CPQ in PBB MapleSEA, funded Assassins more or less dominated in Rooms 5/6, if not its Brawlers.

Though, again, it was my opinion that CPQ was just toxic, especially given how today's internet culture has changed compared to 2008-2010.

 

Swap win is already addressed by having crap rewards and little-to-no-exp. So other den necklace, there should not have any motivation to swap in

Same can be said on LPQ in the PBB MSEA as you cant hit Alishar.

MapleStory itself is a pretty unbalanced game back then. If it can be balanced in ML, im sure over time CPQ can be balanced too.

5/6 are usually for swaps. But even in normal, as a Fighter I still managed to win easily against those sins. Brawlers are a different story tho.

Toxic's gonna be everywhere, like looting of cards before rolling, etc.
If CPQ is toxic after implemented, you are free to avoid it.

 

this is a good suggestion
big from me
