September Wrap Up

So yeah, I realize that my exam is next week and I couldn't be online much due to excessive studying (but some of the time was spent high on caffeine XD) with coffee (Can't study without my coffee XD)

NYOM NYOM NYOM XD.

So yeah, because I wasn't online for quite a while (2 minutes a day doesn't count F3), I'll just make a Wrap Up for those who weren't around this month :P.

Uh.... I'll start of with September being a month with a lot of Server Maintenance and Server Checks. It takes up roughly 2 pages on the website XD

....I wasn't joking. But then again, the events held in Maple this month should be considered rather beneficial :D If I had to name an event this month that was really good, I'd name two. That would be Draw a Portrait and Maple Tree Hill!, and, of course everyone's favourite this month, the Save Gaga! Event. Out of both events, you can earn something without actually needing to use A-cash :P. The Ultimate Spirit Pact Pendant and Happy Ring that can be earned from each respective quest are both equally good XD. The Ultimate Spirit Pact Pendant that adds 5 weapon attack and 10 magic attack..... it wouldn't be a surprise if people would love this more than the Happy Ring XD. But in my opinion, Happy Ring beats The Ultimate Spirit Pact Pendant (getting lazy to keep typing this, I'll call it TUSPP XD), because...... YOU CAN SCROLL IT XD. Which means you can add potential and enhance it too @_@. I joked with my friend about getting 4 rings and getting 27% str potential stats each ring. He spit his Soya Milk all over my breakfast =.=

Wrote about this in an earlier post. 4 Strength and 4 Dexterity ain't that bad XD. But it'd be a waste to recube it >_>. But TUSPP can also have Potential and Enhancement stats. Haven't done either on my TUSPP yet. Didn't even bother scrolling it XD. Elsewhere I'd mess it up >_>.

Queen of Cygnus GM event! This event requires you to bid on various chairs put up for..."auction" by GameMasters in the game. There's a catch though. Only CERTAIN items can be used to bid. And you must use a MEGAPHONE. So this should be one of those.... what my friends call a Money Eating Event(MEE XD) F3. I wrote about this earlier in my post "Frequent Rollbacks ._.". Now, let me first say something about this event. Not only is the item used to bid for chairs ridiculous, but the AMOUNT of the items used are just outrageous! 10000 xxxxx ._. Forgot what the xxxxx was again XD. I think it's Rambutan or something :P. This event, which not many people took part in, would lag a lot of people had the GameMaster used something easier to obtain as an item to bid with. Enough Said.

The Merging of Fornax, Hercules and Gemini!

..... Lol XD. The Merge, as I have anticipated a long time ago but was wondering when it was gonna happen, will probably affect some people no longer playing the Malaysia Gateway. They're gonna feel like replaying Malaysia Gateway again just for fun and might end up STAYING there for the rest of their Maple lives XD. But at least the Merge will populate all 3 worlds. But even with all 3 together, I don't think that it'll have the same amount of people as Aquila XD. If so, then Malaysia Gateway players would have to come populate Cassiopeia and Delphinus XD.

50% EXP coupon sale!

Uh-huh.... Yeah I don't think that the picture is right. But unfortunately, it is. 150% exp would make sense because :

100% = normal EXP gain
50%  = Coupon EXP gain

To those on Facebook still quarreling about this, I hope this clears things up =.=" Anyway, this coupon costs 600 cash, which is fairly affordable for most people. However, I'm not sure about the 3 hour one. It's within a 1000-1500 range. Can't be exactly sure. However, compare this 50% exp with the 2x exp we had before big bang, and the price here for 1 hour and the 24 hour price, we'd see that the 2x EXP coupon saves even more XD. But we ain't got anymore 2x EXP coupons, so stop bringing this into arguements =. =" This is a good boost in EXP if you're training, but it's for an hour. And in one hour, ANYTHING can happen ._. Blackout for one hour XD.

Cessation of Meso Dungeon (Review)
Though the abrupt ending of this event may be bad for others, I'd like to thank the GameMasters and MapleSEA Moderators for taking swift action. The reason for this is because of (I guess) the amount of hackers who can take advantage of this event and probably make a hack to exploit the cracked mesos ._. So I guess the GMs closing this before a lot of hackers sell what they earned so "un-honestly" from this event is a really wise move. I joined the event once. Hackers using Vacuum hacks inside the map, drawing the Mob to them, making me unable to earn what I was supposed to. Good god ._.

...........So these are the major stuff that happened this month XD. Lot more actually, it's just that I don't have a lot of time to write now, so I guess I'll try to write when I get the time. Anyway, share your thoughts about this post by posting in the comments below XD. Repeated anonymous posts saying the same thing will be ignored XD
 

Boredom...and more rollbacks

So last week, I was in class. And the God Of All Boredom touched me. I have been blessed with so much boredom since then that it's lasted until today XD.

So yeah, there was a server maintanence this morning that lasted roughly a few hours. And now, there's a rollback, or so I'm told. Wasn't online during the time of incident. Though this brings back fears that it would be rollback season. AGAIN. XD If this ever happens like last month where there was a rollback once roughly once every two days.And one just happened at around 3pm... Not sure if that was a rollback though, I'd refer to it as a sudden server restart XD.

So yeah I went online for the first time in a few days and there were people complaining about the server restart/rollback this afternoon. Then I got an Ani's raid request. Unfortunately there were 4 people in that channel interested to join the raid..... But at least these 4 were good enough to down Ani quick ! XD

 Intrepid slash is so fast you can see 2 in one screenshot XD

Blueye09 stabbed my Dragon in the face D:

So.... it was a 4 man downing.... in such little time.... -speechless-

*cough* Moving on. I hope that you guys over at the group on facebook would stop discussing about the White Lady of Perion. As I've said in my post from March : http://lheartburger.blogspot.com/2011/03/regarding-rumours.html , that the White Lady of Perion does not exist in MapleSEA. For those who still believe in its existence in MapleSEA, continue believing if you wish to do so. Just lessen these kind of posts ._.

93 comments in 38 minutes is really not a healthy thing....

So yeah, that's about it for now. Oh wait! I forgot, I'm putting my Pinaka up for sale. Give me an offer and I'll tell you my reaction XD. Might consider recubing it for + weapon attack lines later haha.

Happy Ring event XD

Lol! Was very lazy in writing this post XD, but since exams are coming up I won't be active for the next few weeks (though I might post frequently), so I thought that this would probably be my last post for the time being XD. Will be back .....somewhere mid-October.

Ok, now back to the point of this post. Happy Ring Event! XD Which is also the Save Gaga! event. Which is a jump quest ._. And that makes people mad because not everyone has a lot of patience now XD. I saved the screenshot as "kidz ride" because it reminds me of when I was young XD

However....

I feel like I just got trolled =.=" LOL LOL LOL

AND U HAVE TO WAIT FOUR MINUTES D:

I got my ring and used a Potential Scroll on it. What the hell ._.

4 str 4 dex aint bad XD. It's like 2 Circle of Ancient Strength rings in one XD.

And..............The laggyness in Maple..............

Went online with my Cleric once more after I disconnected. ._. I'm getting tired of this. And with all the looting delays from the lag I don't think anyone is happy :P.

Oh yeah and the screenshot bug was fixed a few days ago.

Wheee~ and my max damage range reached 10101 XD. I know it's low for my level -.- I'm one of those old Dark Knights that needed Dex to survive XD.

....That's with buffs. XD.

So yeah that will be it for now. Anything else I'll just post. Anyone with my contact number please don't send messages or call me while I'm on study period. K thanks bye

And the new poll is up! Vote your heart out

Epic lagzzz

And I'm really sure this is not my internet line's problem. At least now I can loot stuff without picking them up one by one like the past 2 weeks =.=" Seriously the lag was as terrible as the time I was in Global Maplestory, but that doesn't count as I'm overseas XP.

First off, I'd like to apologize for the fact that I haven't blogged in over a week XD. My big exam is in another 19 days so I've been whacking my books around, trying to avoid last minute studies. I spent so much time 3 years ago burning the midnight oil I almost burnt the house down =.=" XD.

Moving on. I think the Tomato event expired. Though these huge ass tomatos are still appearing in towns =.="

That thing bugs the crap out of me XD. But it IS kinda cute when its eyes aren't shining stars. This reminds me of the giant snowman that used to invade towns during Christmas during December 2009 XP. But this time, we can only deal 100 damage per attack we inflict to it ._. But killing it is easy XP The tomato drops are 10, and I personally have not done the event. Simply not interested walking around looking like a tomato XP

In relation to the lagging issue just now, I forgot to add that it got so bad I disconnected and logged into my storage account to check where I was. And.... there I was

.... Yes my cleric is Bald and has red hair XD. That was a test from last time's free hair colour (REG) and hair (REG) coupon. Forgot what it was for though, I think it was compensation. Which reminds me.

Now there aren't as many rollbacks as there were a last month :D. Which is what I'm glad to hear. Unless..... the Moderators give a surprise rollback F55555. That would be bad, considering I just reached level 135 XP. Need more effort though -.- Too lazy to train, addicted to studying + coffee xD. I just LOOOOOVEEEE LOOOOVEEE how the caffeine helps me remember all that crap.

Hell yeahhhhhh xD.

But before I entered the Origin of the Clocktower, I had to camp outside. Which was when I started wondering, WHAT is the tombstone for?

Mourning the many rape-and-murder cases that happen around Papulatus XD. And the more to come hahaha. Just joking. It would be gross seeing Maple Characters ACTUALLY raping something. I mean, seriously....

...
...
...
Stop imagining.
XD

Cash Shop Surprise has given me few useful things, and this time, it's given me 5 Wheel of Fortunes.

-cough- Don't mind me choosing some of the clothes. Well at least thanks to this, I got to survive Zakum with a few acquaintances XD. Though the drops were rather crappy XP

So yeah that's about it for 1 week of.... crappy adventure. A new poll regarding the music video on my blog changing will be released tonight so vote the crap out of yourself XD. Meanwhile enjoy AWOLNATION - Sail. Got this song from Tap Tap Revenge 4 on my dad's iPhone XD.

AND! There's gonna be a patch tomorrow =.= " Regarding a few new events. I'll review about them while I'm at it lol.

1. [System Event] Save Gaga Event! (Event Period: 15/09/2011 – 19/10/2011)

Baby Moon Bunny has spotted UFO sightings all over Victoria Island! What? Gaga has been abducted by the Aliens? The Aliens are invading our Maple World?

It is up to you to save Gaga and the Maple World!

   

Grandpa Moon Bunny will reward any brave Maplers who saved Gaga.

Happy Ring

Note:
• Permanent ring





1) Speak to NPC Baby Moon Bunny located in any town and he will send you to the Moon Corner map.
2) Talk to NPC Grandpa Moon Bunny to start saving Gaga.
3) Save Gaga multiple times to get random rewards from Grandpa Moon Bunny!

Note:
• You are able to save Gaga once every 3mins.
• Minimum character level of 13 to participate in this event.

This, is just ridiculous. Well at least those without rings will finally get one after waiting for an event. I might actually join this event XD. Giving me motivation to train and get this stuff. But it's for FOUR DAYS. Which means I'd have to cut off some study time for this = =" Meh first day I'll go all out and try to mess up/ improve my ring before being happy with the stats. 1 day given to myself for this event.

2. [System Event] Meso Dungeon Event! (Event Period: 15/09/2011 – 26/10/2011)

Good news to all the treasure lovers out there! Mr. Sandman, a coin collector is offering his items for your Cracked Mesos!

From 15th September 2011 to 26th October 2011, you are able to redeem prizes from Mr. Sandman using Bronze Cracked Mesos, Silver Cracked Mesos, and Gold Cracked Mesos.

Gold Cracked Mesos
Silver Cracked Mesos
Bronze Cracked Mesos









1) Look for NPC Mr. Sandman at Event Map.
2) Cracked Meso can be exchanged for higher tier of Cracked Meso. (e.g. Bronze Cracked Meso can be exchanged for Silver Cracked Meso)
3) Redeem gifts using Cracked Mesos.

Premium Meso Dungeon

Cracked Meso can be obtained in the Premium Meso Dungeon by purchasing a Meso Dungeon ticket from the Cash Shop.

Premium Meso Dungeon Ticket (1 time) – allows you to stay in dungeon for 90 sec

Talk to Maple Administrator to enter the Premium Meso Dungeon. There are 3 different types of Premium Meso Dungeons:

Gold Premium Meso Dungeon – Level 75 – 200
Silver Premium Meso Dungeon – Level 36 – 74
Bronze Premium Meso Dungeon – Level 10 – 35


Note:
• Minimum character level of 10 to enter Premium Meso Dungeon.

Ahhhh yesss.... A few of my friends were mentioning another Money Eating Event going to be released and lo and behold.... it has. They must have been cracking into the Maple files to actually know this XD. Lol jkjk.

Although I might have to agree that this event might make you spend a lot, considering the last event(which was almost similar to this) sold their dungeon tickets at around 600 cash. I'm not sure 600 or 900 but it's within that range >_>
 
Considering the lag going on now, I won't be surprised if people started complaining that the Cracked Mesos they got from these mini dungeons were FEW. Sure the monsters/items inside might drop a lot of these Mesos, but do you REALLY think you can loot all of them in time? Desperation will make you buy MORE of the tickets. I'm just saying.... The mini bean chair does appeal to me though.... XP

Oh, and I guess EVERYONE's favourite event is back again.... :D

3. [System Event] Triple-Tri-Trio Event! (Event Period: 16/09/2011 – 17/10/2011)

Here is your chance to get bonus EXP points as you hunt on every 3rd monster! Furthermore, the bonus EXP will increase with every hour you stay in the game.

So the longer you stay, the higher bonus EXP you will receive when you hit the 3rd monster. What are you waiting for?? Charge!!!!

• Less than 1 hr after login : no bonus EXP
• 1hr~2hr : 30% bonus
• 2hr~3hr : 100% bonus
• 3hr~4hr : 150% bonus
• 4hr~5hr : 180% bonus
• 5hr~6hr : 200% bonus


5hr-6hr 200% bonus..... Papulatus total experience (≤2million exp + 1.5x exp from shop +1.2x from family buff+ hs 1.5x) x 200% = .... 10.8million per papulatus.... LOL XD. I'll keep dreaming -.- No such crap will happen XD. Unless there's a huge ass rollback that makes everyone so mad that Asiasoft would have to compensate with 3x exp and drop XD. That, I wouldn't mind, but to others..... Yeah that's bad news also....

And of course Cash Shop updates :

2. [Cash Items] New Cash Items Release!

• [Weapon] Fire Katana
• [Weapon] Baby Bottle
• [Weapon] Autumn Traveler Bag
• [Hat] Globe Cap
• [Others] Pam’s Song
• [Others] Party Bonus Coupon


Removal
• I Love SG Top
• I Love MY Top
• 50% up EXP Coupon (1Day)
• Peanut Machine
• Cash Shop Surprise

I seriously have no idea what to write about this -.- So I'll skip XD.

Ok so that's about all I have to write about for now. I'll post more later, and for now.... Happy shuffling XD Like this old man

Frequent Rollbacks ._.

Don't you just hate it when random server shutdowns occur at the most critical moments in Maple? No? Then you have a problem with your gaming mind XD.

First off, I'm not really a fan of what's going on in Maple. These rollbacks bring no benefit -.- Except for a few. The only one I know is that if you fail a scroll and boom your equipment, you'll get it back (maybe XD) after a rollback. Boom a unique earring and re-earn it after a Rollback XD

To my dearest friend, CryZDit. Here's the picture of us at Mu Lung F3. Happy? XD

Yes I died ._. XD

Lol while I was in Mu Lung I encountered Giant Centipede (which I thought went extinct after China was removed) and Bamboo Warrior (which is a surprise), and the exp they gave was.... the same as 1 of the Lion King Castle.

So I bought a [Mastery Book] Berserk 50% and used it last night. Guess what ._. IT WAS A SUCCESS XD. Now to reach level 140....

Am. So. Happy. xD.

So yeah, there's this event where you can use a crapload of a certain item to get a chair. I'm not sure if I posted it yet or not, but hey, at least I'm informing those who didn't know XD.

I remember taking screenshots of the event today and yesterday. I'm just not sure where the hell they went ._. Lol I'll look for them later xD.

Maple Leaves... Used for the Pendant event, as written in my previous post.

After soooooooo long ._. I got my pendant ! XD
