Monster Book drops at 5 cards

People with money wouldn't hunt for them, which counters your proposal. High levels wouldnt explore the various maps but just stick to the op, get mesos and buy their way through tier 10. A lot of the maps arent used because simply not all maps are viable for training, whether it's too big, spawn suck, mobs suck, etc its not reasonable to think that every single map should be used.

 

You make them invisible after looting 5, you cant see them. you are kindve "Wasting your friends time" just waiting and sitting in hopes a card drops. When yourself cant see cards, it can be frustrating.
Monster book card hunting has been a more social aspect with more friends doing them together.
Farm cards with your friends, not "with friends but only you can see them". i say keep it how it is.


you arent really carrying them and farming their cards for them. you are doing it together. the "card is full and it will dissapear, isnt really an issue tbh"

if you want to complain about "annoying" try getting this message everytime you CC.

the card spam doesnt bother me. ive used the new clients everytime after patches.
it lags my entire computer like the issue a long time ago. with this client you sent me, ive never had a single issue.
opening clients/closing clients/Changing channels/dual clienting. my Frames drops dramatically.

im just speaking about the topic, not my client situation. i am aware it is because of my client.

 

its today :3 welcome back Gon

 

Some mobs are most efficiently farmed for cards in maps where there are other mobs. Statistically, there will be times when the secondary mob drops an extra Monster Card that I have already filled. When this happens, I get one of my other characters to Teleport Rock in and pick up the card - because why would I not? If I can't see it, then I would have to either drag another character around with me constantly checking to look for card drops, or I end up wasting time on my next character doing more work than I should have to. Making them un-pick-up-able is a very fair solution because then I can't accidentally pick-up a card my current main doesn't need - which I've done occasionally, and it is rather annoying.

 

they dont drop enough for it to ever be that bad
if its really an issue then maybe do as someone else suggested... add an option to turn their visibility off
i understand this may be difficult to do, but it seems most of the community agrees theyd like to see the cards, dont like the notification that their set is full, and dont want to accidentally pick them up
regardless, thanks for trying your best to make the server as enjoyable as possible for everyone

 

If it’s so necessary to please both parties just add a command that toggles being able to see monster card drops of completed sets. Sounds like a solution that would just satisfy everyone tbh...

Drop after 5, but not lootable, I think this is the best way.

 

Someone already suggested this and kim said she wasnt doing both in OP

 

Make monster cards not pickable AND invisible after 5.

We have to keep in mind that monster cards drop in party quests too. So if I do 50% damage to a PQ boss, and yet I have all 5 cards of it... That would be kind of rough, because I would just hurt everybody in the party.

Make cards just appear for other people once we get all 5 of them in the book.

 

That’s stupid, but ok

 

This person said it best.

 

invisible means you cant see nor pick it up, only others can

 

To me the whole business with monster book cards makes the game a bit less nostalgic because it's a drop that I never would've seen back when I played old maple. Having said that, I do appreciate the ring now as it means I won't have to HP wash as much, but if I was a new player seeing the card drops it would turn me off from the server a bit, especially if they kept pointlessly dropping after completing a set.
I think having them not be seen after collecting 5 would minimise this impact for players like me, which would be nice.

Also, I feel that being able to just have a high level mage farm the whole map to get cards for a friend kind of goes against the purpose of encouraging exploration, as some people end up not going and seeing what it's like fighting each monster.
If I had to go and do all the work over again if I wanted the cards on a new character it would be difficult but also totally fair in my opinion, that's just how it should be.

 

yes, monsterbook isnt v62, however it came shortly after and the droprate was not rare whatsoever. So unless you only played MapleStory before Monsterbook was implemented, then cards dropping should not affect "nostalgia". And if you played afterwards, well cards would drop regardless of how many cards you had already collected...
