    Together with the new test world patch, the new director Kim Changseop went live on the MapleStory Youtube channel to talk about the update with players. I found the stream pretty interesting since they explained a lot about their intentions and thoughts behind how they design some of these changes and events!

    Maple Now (September 14, 2023)

    Introduction

    • As the director, he wants to honestly share stories about the game and would be grateful if players listen to the stream with a relaxed mindset. And then he told everyone to drink their wealth/experience potions.
    • He named the stream MapleStory NOW because rather than talking about the future like in the Vision Talks, he wants to talk about the game right now. These streams will be centered around the current content and intentions of this update.
    • In addition, something new he wants to try in MapleStory NOW is that it won’t just be him talking but also other members of the MapleStory team. He wants players to understand and get to know the people working on the game and gain more trust in them. (Since it’s the first time though, they’re anonymous and are represented by various MapleStory plushies!)
    • People in the chat asked him if he was gonna do a mukbang and he said he couldn’t match up to the talents of the last director. (LOL)
    Test Server Events

    • They have lowered the participation requirements for this event (defeating 1000 monsters within your level range for 5 days of the week).
    • The event rewards are focused on supplementing the enhanced growth speed from 200 to 260 (including a Tera Burning Booster).
    • The final reward from this event includes Sol Erda. They will gradually give out more Sol Erda, in addition to those from hunting and bosses.
    • However, Sol Erda Fragments are materials that have a great impact on the market economy so they will not be adding them as event rewards any time soon.
    • People in the chat asked if they were ignoring Reboot World. He replied that they’re not ignoring them, but as he said previously, Sol Erda Fragments are a material that differentiates the experience between worlds, which will be maintained. The developers will make updates to each world as needed and he asked users to stop fighting with each other.
    • They have added a new event ring (Abyss Hunter’s Ring) that gives 20% damage to normal monsters to help players hunt more easily.
    • Previous coin shop rewards were implemented in a system that made them more useful for players that knew what to buy and coin capped on multiple characters. They changed this during Identisk to make it easier for all players to access the rewards, and have structured this year’s Chuseok event in a similar way. However, in the Identisk event, most players had a lot of Sunshine Coins left over so this time, they added more items to the coin shops for players to spend their coins on.
    • The Halfling Treasure Hunt event lets players choose between getting a guaranteed number of rewards or take a chance of getting more or less rewards. The average expected values are similar so you can do whichever you like.
    • When talking about the Forest Blast event, he brought the planner in charge of it out (in the form of a Slime plushie). This event was created by reusing overseas assets (the Abyss Expedition). A lot players ask for overseas content and events to come to KMS which they reviewed internally. They were looking at bringing the event as-is but it didn’t fit with the play experience they intended, and they also thought the concept matched the current Minar Forest event aesthetic so they reworked it.
    • They create these ‘Blast’ events to try and recreate the feel of old MapleStory, even a little bit. They know that party role-playing was a core part of MapleStory’s MMORPG fun before but since they can’t really force players into specific roles in the current MapleStory, they implement it in events.
    • Changseop asked the planner if they had any memorable issues when developing these Blast events and the planner replied that a lot of players criticized the fact that the test server Dungeon Blast had the Necro set in it which didn’t exist back then. This was actually because at 12AM the night before the patch, they had an issue with the outfits and to hotfix it before it was released, they quickly replaced them with equips that worked.
    • People in the chat asked why the boss in this year’s anniversary’s Dungeon Blast event was like the Newtro Pixrog instead of the original Balrog and they said it was originally intended to be a Newtro Dungeon Blast theme but they changed it at the last second to match better with the 20th anniversary throwback theme.
    • Changseop said he was the one that requested the Identisk slingshot minigame because he wanted a Metal Slug-type game but he apologizes for it now (because it was 100% the worst game the entire summer).
    • They said the reason why they moved from older minigames to things like the Blast events was because they work better in letting players experience cooperative content with MapleStory’s controls, rather than simple repetitive actions or minigames (like the train minigame). Players seem to enjoy them so they will continue to improve on them.
    • The new Drop the Acorns event participation was lowered from 3 times a week to 1 time a week (with the same experience rewards) when compared to the last Coconut Smash event. They call this an ‘experience Punch King’ event internally. They know its stressful for players to fully buff up for these things, and having to do it multiple times a week made it even worse, so they changed it.
    • The Drop the Acorns event is part of their goal to reward players for progressing further into the game (as you get more experience the more points you get). This is also seen in the boss coin shop, which has been added for this off-season event, with more items available for purchase. They want players to be able to get better feedback on how much stronger they are getting, not only through existing in-game systems and content but also events.
    • They know that a lot of players talk about how during the off-season, they tend to put more intensive events which can cause burnout (like Haste), so this time, they tried their best to avoid this. The Chuseok event was designed to include the simplicity, growth benefits, and factors from the summer event.
    • To match their intention of giving better feedback to character growth through events, they increased the weekly cap of boss coins from 1200 to 1600. They have added Arteria/Carcion Authentic Symbols to the shop and lowered the prices of Cernium~Shangri-La symbols to help players catch up on Authentic Force faster.
    • This year’s Chuseok event lasts 5 weeks, so they wanted to add some additional rewards around halfway through which matches up with Hangul Day. They have been celebrating it for 10 years so this year, they decided to make it a much bigger event with much better rewards. It doesn’t require killing mobs, rather you have to answer quizzes or get specific items. They said the only reason events like this are possible are because there’s so many MapleStory players, they can share their hints and solutions. He said there’s no way he could do these events by himself. They even keep track of how long it takes for them to be ‘cracked’ and usually it’s within 10 minutes.
    Profession Reorganization

    • A different planner was brought out (Pink Bean) to explain the profession changes.
    • You can now learn all the professions on a single character, the maximum Fatigue has been increased, and crafting cooldowns have been removed. They have also lowered the Fatigue costs for some recipes, and changed the Meisterville gathering farms into instanced maps.
    • To enter the instanced maps, you must defeat 1000 monsters within your level range first. This requirement was added because it’s a direct source of crafting materials which would have a drastic impact on the economy, and also to stop macroers.
    • The reasons why they started the profession reorganization was to improve its convenience and prevent rapid price fluctiations, but another reason was to limit macros. Professions had a lot of inconvenient elements which promoted the use of workshops/macros since players had items they wanted but didn’t want to go through the effort to get. They are doing their best to improve the experience for players while blocking macroers. Since gathering materials is a core part of professions, it’s not a complete improvement but they didn’t want to make it too difficult to get them since it would cause the prices of all the crafted potions to skyrocket.
    Story

    • They have added side quests to Carcion. They include more backstory about things like the Spectres, the Anima tribes, and ancient gods. They would love to include quests like this right from the beginning but due to scheduling reasons, they could not complete them in time. That is the benefit of a live service game where they can continue to add and improve on existing concepts.
    • They also reorganized Door to the Future’s story. It was an older story with an unclear ending and various inconveniences like having to go back and forth to diferent monsters, so they reorganized it to make it better. It’s also where Lucid first appears but she looked completely different, so they updated the artwork to match her actual appearance. He wanted to fix it a long time ago but they kept putting it off and now they are finally doing it.
    • This is an issue with live service games, where certain stories need to be shown at specific times (to introduce new areas or bosses). But as further content and story developments are added, they become outdated and inaccurate.
    • They’re preparing for the next Dimensional Library episode. It will be based on the Grandis story and things that haven’t been shown off that much so far.
    Cash Shop & UI

    • They have added the Coloring Prism, which is an item that lets you dye cash equips.
    • The Sol Erda UI has been updated to include Sol Erda Fragments as well. They added a hotkey to let players open the UI instantly without having to press the button on the Hexa Matrix.
    Q&A


    Changseop said that he tried to do an unscripted stream in celebration of the Chuseok update, and he hopes to continue speaking honestly with players as the director.

    He wanted to focus on the current update but there were many players in the chat asking questions that he thought he should answer instead of ignoring.

    • Q: Which job is being remastered?
      • A: He can’t say right now but it will be announced in a later stream before it is added to the test server.
    • Q: Can you change Noblesse Skill cooldowns?
      • A: As of now, there are no plans to change or remove them. In fact, he said that if he could go back in time to when Noblesse Skills were added to guild content, he would’ve been much more conservative with them because he thinks MapleStory should be fun to play even if you’re playing solo. However, since they were implemented in that way and have become a core part of MapleStory, they can’t change it easily now. Their utility is extremely high in both bosses and hunting, so they are not considering giving them more uptime. However, he does know that it makes it inconvenient to try out bosses, so they will try to resolve other factors as much as possible.
    • Q: About 2 minute burst jobs.
      • A: In general, he doesn’t think 2 minute burst cycles are an issue. It would be too hard to unify all jobs to 3 minute bursts, both in terms of implementation and fun. 2 minute bursts have their own pros (when soloing bosses, situations where burst damage uptime is lower, personally having more fun). However, they are aware of certain aspects like the Genesis iframe, AB link, and Seed Rings which don’t match up and are considering how to improve them.
    • Q: Why have there been no balancing updates?
      • A: They don’t think changing values and adding Mastery Cores at the same time is efficient. They know they haven’t done any balance patches in a while, but that is because classes will be balanced naturally as they add 6th job Mastery Cores, which is their current focus. Of course, this doesn’t mean they’re not going to make other balance changes as needed.
    • Q: Alleviating the Liberation process.
      • A: They have no plans to alleviate this. Liberating a Genesis weapon is the final weapon content. They will only alleviate this if new content becomes available.
    • Q: Presets.
      • A: He thinks its necessary too and agrees its annoying having to change a bunch of settings like Union and Hyper Stats when bossing or hunting. It’s hard to say when it will be released but they’re working on it.
    • Q: Link Skill limit.
      • A: They are not considering changing it right now.
    • Q: Ability presets.
      • A: They are currently considering it, but he thinks that it would be better to add after more players completely finish their current Ability (he said he looked at player data for this). Ability Presets will probably not be included in the other Presets when they are added.
    Conclusion

    • He hopes that people will be able to watch the MapleStory NOW streams a little more comfortably than showcases or other events. That way, he will also be able to talk more casually and have fun with players.
    • He said players asked him why he’s Mike in-game, and the story behind that was that he actually voiced Mike in Fight! Return of the Legends, but he was too embarassed to show his face so they used the art with the helmet on.
    • The next stream will be in October. This one had two planners but he hopes that future ones will include not just planners, but developers, artists, and more.
