OssLock Regions

Osslock should be locked to Victoria and Ossyria (Orbis, El Nath, Aqua Road).

 

I didn't have enough votes to air my preferences, so I'll detail them here.

I think Leafre opens up a lot of possibilities to fix what currently seems to me like very limited options past lvl 120ish. While I don't expect it to be a problem, you could theoretically even limit it in a way that prevents people from going to e.g. Skele etc.
Additionally, I think Leafre still fits really well within the bounds of Old School.

I also voted for Herb Town. I'm somewhat hesitant about this because of the +16allstat helm which would be opened up by PPQ, but otherwise I feel like the possibility of PPQing would be a net positive for lvl 55-100.

Finally, I'd argue in favor of NLC and Haunted Forest. I can't remember when this was added, but intuitively I do associate it with (fairly) oldschool Maple. Furthermore, WS seems like a cool partygrind map and farming HH would essentially function the same as Thanatos/Gatekeeper, where ranged attackers can thrive.

 

Ossyria is actually a fuck ton of areas . Orbis, El Nath, Aqua, Ludi, Omega, KFT, Ariant/Mag, Leafre, Temple of Time, Mu Lung, Herb Town, and Neo City (idk if you considered Neo Tokyo 1 to 1 equivalent).

The vast majority of the Osslock community’s opinion was they want to add areas rather than keep current areas, let alone removing areas.

NLC and Phantom Forest are both areas added pre 4th job.

 

Ludi, Omega Sector, and KFT are Ludus Lake. Ariant and Magatia are Nihal desert I believe. I don't know what Leafre and Temple of time are but I don't think they're categorized as Ossyria. Same goes for Mu Lung and Herb Town.

 

I always interpreted Ossyria as being a subcontinent encompassing El Nath, Orbis, maybe Victoria. We need a maple geologist here to elucidate the plate tectonics of the maple world... Either way though this should exclude world travel regions like Mushroom Shrine and Temple of Time which appears to be a floating island (as is Orbis, technically, but that's considered part of El Nath mountains in-game). The status of KFT is unclear as well as it appears on the map but in-game is represented as entering a magical book.

 

I voted for Ariant, NLC, and Phantom Forest.

Ariant: Opens up nice mid-level content that doesn't really impact end-game.
NLC: Wolf Spiders are fun, and they're a nice party map!
Phantom Forest: Honestly, what I really want to vote for is Haunted House - the rest of Phantom Forest is... A lot. But Haunted house is a nice mid-level area (hoodoo/voodoo) that doesn't impact much later on.

 

I voted leafre magatia and golden temple.

Leafre: I think of Leafre as part of classic maple. Are Skeles broken even without mage ultis?

Magatia: I just think it would do good to add more PQs to the challenge. Just a thought, no strong opinion on this.

Golden Temple: I dont really consider golden temple classic maple per say, but I think adding another low level boss other than papulatus is probably a good idea. And at least it was added pre-bb xD
