Let's talk about channels

great idea! perhaps a dungeon or new mob maps in gs3 and 4 might do it yh. I like the less channels idea though

 

I agree with everthing you said.

 

Im fine with 4-6 channels,tho manon cry will get abit cucked since HT being spammed nowadays. Other then that seems like a good idea to bring the ppl together.

 

I think it's better to reduce the amount of channels and at the same time make some other maps more viable. There are so many unused training maps, I think there is a large amount of wasted potential.
I guess the only problem is making people aware of the fact that some maps receive buffs. Many people will just default to a map they knew was amazing back when they played.

 

I wouldn't mind less channels, and adding dungeons would not be a terrible idea. It would be nice to see more people out and about.

 

Having Mini Dungeons around popular training maps will be great, not sure if it's difficult to do...
Looking forward to seeing more people around if the change of reducing channels is set.

 

Did i hear buff gobies Gang ?

 

Less channels seems a great idea. But I don't think mini dungeon would be great... Seeing each other while cc-ing and say hi actually makes GS2 alive, if you add mini dungeon there will be no oppotunnity to meet them while they are grinding again :c
grinding can sometime be boring, but chatting while grinding has never been.

 

Yes. I think reduce the amount of channels is better right now. Making a dungeon for GS2 is good too, because it is the most popular map in my opinion. GS2 is popular because it has good exp ratio and spawn rate that really helps players in lvl 50–80. For Himes, I have less experience about it, but I every time I accidently got into, I don't see it occupied. That's because it requires higher level to grind over there I think. As a Bowman, I wouldn't solo over there compared to GS2. So I think it is ok to left Himes as it is.

Also, GS3, GS4, and GS7 are totally empty. Instead creating a dungeon for GS2, is it possible to add Slimy in GS3 and GS4?

 

i would adjust the crowded chs in a way that more dif maps are balanced so either increase spawn rate or w.e.
also keep in mind manon and any other world bosses are harder to find/kill if u drop channels.
i would increase spawn rate of those bosses so on like daily bases theres still around same amount off bosses like bigfoot manon pianus etc etc.
so basicly u should find a way to compromise for the lower amount of channels by spawn rate and such then ppl shouldnt have a problem with it.

 

I wish they would. and I wish they would allow ks wars on certain maps such as: gobies, himes, etc

 

I am fine with channels getting reduced, but in return, map ownership should be shortened. I think it's 10 minutes right now? Perhaps 5 would be more appropriate.

 

While on the topic of manon i would suggest changing the quest to only killing a manon instead of getting a cry.

 

I'm fine with reducing the amount of channels but I want to keep MapleLegends as similar to old Maplestory as possible. I really don't want to have the horntail quest changed or add monsters to maps that weren't there in old Maplestory.

 

Its 5 now.

 

Reduce channels to like 4 or 5. GS5 is a good alternative to GS2. I actually found it to be better than GS2. Also you only train at GS for a week or two, so it shouldn't be a major concern. Himes is a bigger issue in my opinion, but sharing maps or training with people is always better since it's such a large map and increases the spawn when you have two people killing on both sides or luring all mobs to one side. In regards to the mini dungeons for newts and skeles, they weren't really a solution since the spawn is atrocious. I don't think anyone uses them at all.
