New non-endgame content

The Dragon Rider PQ would be an amazing addition if correctly balanced. It's kind of what you are looking for I think. Pretty high-lvled PQ (120+) which isn't too hard for non-washed players, so that a lot of ppl (even the casuals) will be able to enjoy it.
One of the special rewards back then had a durability stat or something, so that is one of the issues about it I guess, but there is a solution for everything, right?

 

Dragon Rider pq would be amazing to have. An actual pq for 4th job.
Problem is this server is v63 (or so) and it may not be possible to add content beyond this version, unless we change to the version after our current one, or maybe changing to just before the big bang patch.

There is only so much this server can add, and we have more or less everything there is (i think).

 

I've always been intrigued by the thoughts of expanding Maple Island-only content. The MapleLegends community is full of a wide-range of players, and because of this, community involvement tends to revolve solely around events, many of which exclude Maple Island altogether.

What if we made Maple Island-specific content so that there was more incentive for people to hang out around Southperry and Amherst? What if we created a social space where people could dress up their Maple Island-locked avatars that are dressed up with Maple-Island exclusive event cosmetics - rewards for participating in community PQs, jump quests, GM events, scavenger hunts, trivia, omok tournaments, etc.? Everybody would be on equal footing (Nimble Feet ftw). You could incentivize participation with Maple Island-exclusive rewards - cool weapons or outfits that would be instantly recognized for rarity.

And the nice thing about this is that staff wouldn't have to be too concerned about balance issues as everybody would have immediate access to this content.

I feel like these communal aspects of the game tend to compete with players' time because there is just so much to do. However, by hosting community events on Maple Island, you can effectively eliminate the competition. With enough added content along with consistent GM support, we could create a fun culture of community-driven interaction. By that time, it would be the norm for people to have a Maple Islander account.

It'd also definitely add to the lore that Maple Island is where a majority of Maplers are and that only the few and brave Explorers adventure beyond.

 

Ok something I noticed that’s very important that will be expiring soon. Instead of using popsicle and Christmas socks in a RNG for event just put it in BOSS PQ.

BOSS pq reward (item box)
(Level limits ofcourse)
5-6 wa ice cream for 3Months until next event, Christmas sock during obviously Christmas just as an example with the ability to gain EXP..

 

i wish 2 runs of HT\cwk someday wont be 3 hours

 

I mean that’s the point, give us something to hunt for

 

Actually though this sounds amazing!. kinda like a minigame within the game. just a little hub to chill, play minigames, maybe add portals to party quests that give Maple-Island exclusive event cosmetics.

 

Boss PQ rewards -> HP ring with expiry?

 

now that we have the flying attack mechanics with the auf, dragonrider could be a future dream, especially with the earring giving fixed hp

 

You say broken yet for me the event HP pendant is the only reason I can HT right now.

 

I swore that auf/core and dragon Rider were the same, but aren't they similar?

 

Auf and CB are just swimming, not flying

 

oh, mb then

 

in my mind it was same thing, thanks for clarify
