Maple0058 Maple0059

The above picture was taken in the sealed room of the Orbis PQ.

I’ve noticed a flaw in the Orbis PQ system; no matter where you go in the tower, the map name is “Tower of the goddess” (With some exceptions of course.)  This means that when the party outside tracks (/find ________) the track will usually be in the tower of the goddess.  This also means that the party outside will NOT be able to anticipate when the party will come out, rendering their track  useless, especially if the party is doing rush or bleach PQ (Trust me, it is irritating!)

Perhaps the GMS should change the naming system, so that the map name corresponds with the room the party is in??

(inspired by the Hari Raya Puasa event tomorrow)

Events…Where should I begin?  I personally feel that it is a HUGE waste of time.  It can be summarized in the following words:GMS summons some UBER monsters, makes everyone die OR GMS play some games with us, in a bid to earn more $$ by making us answer their questions by ‘weathering’.  (This has been the recent trend for events.)

I feel that these events are NOT at all fun.  After all, do you call lagging with a huge crowd of maplers, trying to take screenshots with the GMs fun!?  Or do you call being killed again and again by some legendary monsters fun!?  And most importantly, do you think spending your money on weathers just to say ‘HI’ to the GMs or answer some of their crummy questions FUN!?  Or do you call your computer lagging and crashing even AFTER you have quit maple FUN!?(Trust me, it happens!)

Well, that is why i do not like to attend events.  I think I will give the upcoming Hari Raya Puasa event the miss and spend some time in PQ and training instead.

I made 2 discoveries today:  the ludibrum and ossyria continents finally have maps!  w00t!(The GMS are so evil; they didn’t inform us on this!)

Kudos to the person who drew out these intricate maps! They are much better than the Victoria Island one!  Anyway,  with the release of these 2 maps, i wonder if there will be maps for Shanghai, Singapore,Zipangu…

Yeah, I know that this is old news, but version 0.47 comes with a very useful update, the monster name and HP bar…

 I find this update useful, especially when fighting UBER boss monsters with UBER HPs and even more UBER MPs.  You can spend your time gawking at the uberness of its HP and at the same time, know how much HP does it have left before it kicks the bucket.(PLONK!)

I can’t really think of any cons to this new update, except a cluttered up screen?  However, its still bearable,  so I still give this update a 4½/5.

Yeah, i know, this blog has experienced ’sudden death’ throughout the month of August.  And now once again, I have managed to squeeze out some time to post something here.  For all the froggies in the well(CROAK!)  Today marks the launch of a brand new wedding service and a new town(or should I just call it a map?)  Read this to find out more. 

Anyway,  I don’t have a gf or anything like tat(call me a hermit if you wan, although I am a cleric!) so this dosen’t really concern me.  But this whole new wedding idea sounds pretty interesting and a HUGE improvement from last time…

PICTURES FROM THE NEW WEDDING VILLAGE…
