Solution to GS2 Problem

Why dont people just split mp3, thats what i did and its only a bit slower then gs2.

 

MP3 is not even slower than GS2. The problem is finding a priest, that's all.

 

Yeah 3man part with a priest with max hs, mp3 is faster than gs2. The problem is the low population of the server makes this very difficult. (low pop compared to live versions of maple)

 

People ought to just be more friendly and offer to party and split the map. but unfortunately it seems most just want to go it alone so they can level 1% faster. If even that. There is in fact an overall total bonus to exp when you party people...

 

I think the access of scarecrows creates other problems. Since scarecrows are lv 50 and yield 250 base exp, players that are lv 43+ would be rushing to those maps to powerlevel there, which would in turn deter the usage of other maps such platoon chronos, golems, and other viable training spots and PQs. This, in result, would make our thin market of weapons/equips even thinner.

 

Chimney is really boring, and I really don't like the idea of having an easy time to level with any of the maps. I feel that Scarecrows would kill any motivation to LPQ because it will fill a void of good training maps in the 35-50 level range... we already have this problem with GS2 once you pass level 50. Some people still will PQ, but it's clearly inferior for leveling, so LMPQ is a ghost town compared to ghost ship. hue...hue...

 

GS1 and GS5 are alternative solo-able maps, and MP3 is quite good if you have a party. (I used to solo/party at MP3 when GS2 was full).

LMPQ is also an alternative route of levelling from 51-70 that some people prefer over GS (partially due to crowdedness).

Not to mention some classes go to Forest of Golems instead as well.

 

Not true, because Scarecrows are level 50, while Slimys are level 63. It is much easier to hit Scarecrows with lower accuracy, plus they have less HP.

 

isn't mp3 always empty on weekdays, though?

it's actually faster for me

 

Im not even sure this is a problem, this is how it was in gms too, just a ting bit less crowded for me as i played an weird timezone

 

i dont think it is even a problem.
there are gs1 gs5 mp3. gs2 it's just a better map, there're lots of alternative.

 

Yeah, exactly.
and GS5*

 

GS2 isn't the fastest all the time. For some classes it really depends on how many hits it takes you to kill. GS1 is faster if you 2-hit them but 3-hit GS2.

And this server is meant to be GMS-like, so adding in Chimney would take that away from this server, even though that's what sets it apart from others. Map competition is simply something you have to deal with in v62. Give it a month or two and Skele maps will be highly contested because all the Bishops will go there, but I don't think they would buff Newties just because of the map competition. Same applies to GS2. Just my opinion on it...

Spoiler: Own example

I got ~80%/hour at level 55 at GS1, whereas GS2 got me maybe 65-70% per hour. It really depends on your class and the amount of hits you take to kill a mob, many classes excel at other, alternative maps (GS1, GS5, GS6, MP3).

 

From this post I could tell you were a up and coming priest.

I also noticed most priests like the idea.

Well, not all priests liked the idea

 

Creating a new GS2 private map like the drumming bunny map and the zombie mushroom one.
That should fix it you can enter with party members etc...
I think it's possible to copy the code and create a portal by wz editing.
@Kimberly what do you think ?
