What content can still be added to MapleLegends?

Apparently NT part 2 is rumored to be in the works.

But my money is on staff working to optimize and clean up all the code before this happens.

Either way it'll be great for us as we can enjoy a well optimized Maple experience.

 

There’s a portal in wolf territory 2 that’ll teleport you to “future content”. If you try to enter the portal, it’ll hint you that there’s new content coming. I forgot the name of the new area

it might be a bug since the mobs on the map are wrong (according to the lib, previous experience and logic), but I doubt it

 

I do not believe any of the PQs other than carnival/ariant colleseum (which the staff don't want to add) are realistically possible in v62. Mushroom Kingdom may be possible (though I'm not sure if v62 can do the trampolines) but I believe the staff has no interest in adding it either.

NT Part 2 is pretty much confirmed to be in the works, so that's something to look forward to (even though the rewards don't look that great - auf haven circlet has really low base stats in exchange for 20 slots; the 60% scrolls suck a lot and the 5% scroll is, well, 5%). Chaos Zakum and Horntail should be codable without much issues? (I don't know much about them so I can't say for certain) From what I remember with my short experience with some v83 servers, Balrog seems very unlikely to be implementable on v62.

 

TBH, I'd like any other PQ other than these, the toxicity of "Win-Trading" while one person would leave then join and that person would be left out of it.
(Party leader adds someone on the opponents win then say that they have to go right after and then another party would have to be formed again and that person would have a chain reaction of just not having a win traded could happen to anyone and its not a nice addition)

 

Lion Heart Castle was my all time favorite addition to MapleStory as it provided such awesome 115+ party grinding and overall promoted interaction among high level players (other than bossing). Would be so cool if it ends up being added *hopeful eyes*.

 

Personally I would love to see any kind of content that has alot more interactivity rather than just drink potions and spam attack in one spot

 

Have you tried games that are not v62 MapleStory?

 

I think that certain content can be refurnished for other gameplay purposes rather than just omitting them because they would become a dominating content in the 'meta'.

If my memory serves me right, there would be some request for some form of PVP back in the day. But maplestory does not seem to be a game that is suitable for direct PVP, so some indirect form of PVP (eg, monster carnival) was introduced. I think that this PVP gap could be filled with some content. For example, rework the rewards of monster carnival (say, strip away the exp component) and the mechanics (say, open the content to everyone but limit to second job skills) and it could fill the gap.

Alternatively, if it is technically feasible, custom content should not be totally out of the window. Nostalgia gets players back into the game, but if we want players to stay or return consistently, new content would be necessary.

 

I think you might be very wrong there.

 

Is he though? If the content remains the same for an eternity, people will eventually burn out. I think a big factor why Legends has been growing and maintaining a large playerbase as a v62 2x exp server is because they have been progressive with the updates at a very plausible speed. I'm not saying ''Let's get Chaos Zakum & LHC'' but updates that were added like monster book add a big share to the game that for a lot of people is another year of content.

 

Fair point, you're right there. I think I spoke too quickly out of dislike for excessive progress/new content/powercreep.

 

I feel like the only way PvP stuff like carnival could work in Legends without A) undermining old content and B) creating tons of toxicity is if they just outright removed all rewards.

Like you literally get nothing, no exp, no mesos, no scrolls weapons gacha nx chairs. Except maybe a win counter or leaderboard for top players.

This would allow the content to be a fun distraction while adding dimensions to the game. Carnival is a pretty cool idea but it was way too good for leveling and maple is a fookin grindy game, so naturally it devolved to win trading and also completely outclassing all available content in its level range. If we remove these incentives to it then the PvP aspect comes front and center again, could be a fun challenge for minmaxers while providing new fun goals for players who dont want to grind/wash for late game; how strong can you make a level 50 character to climb the Carnival rankings?

Just spitballing a suggestion.

 

Personally I'd love to see kenta (aquarium) pq return as well (lvl 140+) , rewarding an eye accessory with +5 all stats and +100 hp.

 

Dragon Rider PQ, CPQ, Ariant PQ (The bombs are already in the files), NT Part two, Crystal Ilbies, Decent Boss drop rates. I don't know if post-BB stuff could be added as custom content but only time will say.

 

Literally anything that entices people not to leech 100-120

 

I’d be glad if somehow the server “runs out” of content to add. Then there can finally be some attention put to rebalancing all the still kinda messed up but band-aided early and mid game content. There is so much potential especially in quests for rebalancing to occur. Also they could finally fix coke town and add the coke shield and whatever other random cool items like ITCG stuff

 

LHC - It encourages 6 man grinding parties, which would really boost the social aspect of the game. The bonus party exp could be adjusted to not make it op.
