The third and final patch of the MapleStory Savior update has been released, featuring the new area Shangri-La, the new boss Kaling, another piece of the Ethernal set, and the new Exceptional Enhancements system. Also, earlier today, they released the 2023 Maple Vision Talk, where they explained their thoughts and goals for the rest of the year. MapleStory Savior December 22 Growth Experience Improvements Skill Improvements Star Force Improvements Wongstaurant Hyper Burning/Burning World January 19 Khali, the Wind of Revenge February 23 Shangri-La New Boss, Kaling Exceptional Enhancements Collaborations MapleStory x GS25 (December 15) MapleStory x BLACKPINK (December 22) MapleStory x Life in Four Cuts (January 1) MapleStory x Isaac Toast (January 26) 2023 Maple Vision Talk The stream started with director Wongki greeting players, after which he let Changseop (head of the planning team) take the reins. He talked about the ongoing issue of comparing regular servers to Reboot, which gradually grew to a debate about the overall playability of MapleStory. Due to this, he decided that they needed to review and change the direction of the game’s development. He said that the past couple of years, they have been mainly doing minor changes and improvements, but now they will be looking at making major changes. However, he apologized that he would not be able to include specific content details or patch dates as they’re still deciding on the direction they want to go in, but he would talk about as many things as he could. The overall talk was separated into four categories. Character Growth They recognize that it takes too much time and effort to progress in terms of levelling up. He said that most players see this around level 230~240. They will be greatly decreasing the time required to level up to 260. After level 260, the hurdles for progression are levelling up and Authentic Force. They will be slightly increasing the speed for these, to reduce the Authentic Force gate for players who reach these levels later. They will also add other meaningful growth factors. Equipment Growth They recognize that it is very difficult to enhance items enough to have significant growth (e.g. reach BIS stats on BIS gear) and this needs to be changed. They would like to alleviate this issue for the various enhancement methods, but this will require much discussion and research as it will have a great effect on the market and the game overall. They recognize that it is difficult to switch to the next set of gear due to multiple reasons (e.g. you have to equip multiple parts of a set at once to make it worth it). They will be changing equipment growth to make it easier to switch one-by-one. They are reassessing the current untradeable item meta. These changes will be discussed privately until they are actually implemented, to avoid greatly affecting the market. They can’t be taken back after they are made so they are being very careful about this. Bosses Bosses are the most effective way to gauge the strength of a character, and also act as goals for the game. However, things like the current entry methods, re-entry cooldowns, and the lack of practice mode for some bosses (Seren, Kalos, Kaling) act as factors that reduce and limit access to boss content. This will be improved. (He talked about watching the players running Kaling all week in the test server as an example) They will also be improving the difficulty of bosses for patterns that can’t be beat with better control or character growth. In March, they are going to update boss patterns like Lucid teleporting during the dragon in phase 1, meteors in Magnus/Dusk/Dunkel/Black Mage, and survivability in Chaos Papulatus/Magnus. Unique Experiences Between Worlds He said that although the initial idea for the two worlds was to have two unique experiences, they haven’t been properly keeping this up. Regular world players have a variety of options due to the market, being able to do things such as get equipment faster, skip RNG mechanics, and skip content they don’t like while Reboot players would maximize the RPG aspects of the game without a market and do those things directly. However, Reboot has been more and more similar to regular world with things like boss carries, which allows them to get gear faster and skip content and defeats the point of the server. He talked about how Reboot has been getting the same updates and events as regular worlds, which made getting mesos and progressing much easier in Reboot. However, the cost of enhancing, like the prices of Cubes and Flames, has not been changed at all, leading to an accelerated and much easier experience. Going forward, they will make sure to review updates and events to tailor them to each world. They will be targeting boss carries, which will probably be accompanied by system improvements.

This is special in that you must split your party up between the three bosses, up to two people per Peril. After defeating a Peril, you can then join your other teammates to help with the remaining ones. Destroyed Four Seasons Each Peril has their own map with different attacks and mechanics. There’s also two mechanics that are active between all three phases. The first is Spiritual Power which is shared between all party members. Kaling has no death count limit but this Spiritual Power will go down over time and also whenever you die. If it hits 0, you will fail the boss. The second is the Perils Balance Gauge. Each Peril will have their own gauge that you must keep from hitting either 0 or 1000. If they do, you’ll lose some Spiritual Power and you will no longer be able to receive the special buffs that you would if you defeated the Peril without disrupting the balance. There are some attacks you can get hit by to increase different Perils’ gauges, so you must keep an eye on them to maintain their balance.
