A New End Game to MapleLegends

Hey guys, whats up?

I'm Ja1zera, I have a Bishop lvl 163 that i use to boss and leech, and sometime ago (after a lot of time votting) I did my attacker, a BM with some wash to hit 19k HP at lvl 180 (he's lvl 120 yet :/ ).

With one year at the server and getting end game gears right now, I was thinking about my goals and for what I spent my time.
Zakum now is more like a strong mob than a boss, I do HT weekly in a safe way (we always clear it) and my next challenge will be PB when i get lvl to do it. Thinking about that, some questions comes to my mind: "why am I spending all this time to kill a boss? And when i get to this challenge and clear it, what comes after? What challenge will be the next? I'll have mood to keep getting stronger to do the same boss every week?"
To all this questions I get only negative answers, and then I started to imagine an new end game for MapleLegends, an end game that makes me put a "tryhard mode on" and improve myself in every time I open the game.

When I was playing BMS (Brazillian server of MS) in 2007, the think that I mostly liked to play was Monster Carnival Party Quest (https://bbb.hidden-street.net/party-quest/monster-carnival). Two teams fighting each other to discover who is the best, who can do more damage, who can play better as a team and who are stronger in MapleStory. Yeah, all the time people just swap wins to everyone grow togheter, but keeps the fight in your mind.

Now imagine your guild, that you helps to grow and battled with all your friends to get stronger, against other guild, in a fight for some exchange points that you can trade for WS, CS, Apple, Capes, and other stuffs that makes a character stronger. It would be good, not?
Your retired lvl 200 attacker being used again to fight and not just to echo in fm, your Bishop becoming a key in a run, and your dpm being really important to something.

What I was thinking is: A dungeon like CWKPQ, with some stages, some mobs, some puzzles (cant be RNGated cuz of the timer), some bosses that you have to kill with your guild faster as you can, and a timer on the top. When you done all stages and clear the entire dungeon, this timer will mark your time that you cleared in a NPC - this NPC will mark all timers of all guilds, and at the end of the week, will announce the winner, the guild who takes less time to finish this dungeon. This NPC will have the ranking and your rewards will be based on how higher you have got.
To avoid guild wars abusers, you will be able to do this dungeon only for one guild weekly, and just one time in a day, with your better timer being counted at the NPC.

I think a change like this could change the end game and bring more competitiveness to MapleLegends, heating up the market for end game itens, making the gear and lvl progression more exciting and potentially bringing in new active players.

I know that this is a dream, but I loved this competition when I was a kid and this memory always come back with only good feelings.

A change like that takes a lot of time from staff, it appears hard to implement, but I'm thinking on that for a long time and I really wanted to share this with you guys.If it gets support, can be a nice change from Legends and, on my point of view, a good way to end game at v64.

Thank you guys for readding and please show me your opinion <3

 

Maaan i think i've created at least 20 characters to do this PQ, all of them stopped around lvl 50 cuz OPQ was too boring front MCPQ (in BMS it was only lvl 31-50). I really loved to rush this PQ after school.

 

The purpose of a change like this is to you get a reason to make a cape like that one. Why i will spend 200 hours of farming to get this cape if i already kill all bosses? The answer is: to get stronger and put your guild at the top

 

This change will not be the only way to play this game, just a different way. This needs a lot of balancing works to not being stuck at “the rich get richer”, but will give you a motivation to be better and will reward your efforts.
A change like this combined with boss changes can make this game more fun to everyone, you only need to think in what kind of player you are.
As a brazillian with bad english, i would love to see my brazillian guild becoming stronger and beating some other guilds in this road.

 

Yeah, all mechanics need to be learned and if you dont do this you will die at the first attack of the boss. But when you know this mechanics it becomes basic, easily to be done, and if i done why i will get stronger?

 

But my journey was voting, taking leech and putting int on my bm

this is so empty...

Thats the way i was thinking, some jump quests and other puzzles that need you to be a good player, not just a rich one. But i really like games with some competitive ways, so in my mind this needs to have bosses and mobs to be killed to compensate for my time spent with farm, scrolls and level.

 

I think you have a different idea of fun than the majority rpg players... Multiclient is good but not that much. This brings a meta to the game thats unhealthy, forcing you to create mages and lots of mules if you want to be stronger, cus attackers farm is too bad compared to mages and prices will follow mage farming. I really dont know how you can put 20+ shops on fm, i even admire the dedication, but i cant see any fun on that :/

But the purpose of this thread is to bring a different way to play the end game, with some competition and team play, focusing on mechanics and damage motivating us to be stronger and better players with our main class.

 

Then i agree with you

In competitive ways (thinking on how much stronger and skillful you can be) i think ML can get better, maybe with boss changes i get pleased, but i would love to compete in something like the idea i showed in this post.
