pq experiences…

You can say that this blog was dead for a period of more than 1 month, before I decided to revive it again.  It seems like my motivation to post had weakened(thanks to some other games which distracted me from mapling), but now I have decided to come back and post again.  In theme with my previous post, I will be talking about OPQ.

I had been pqing for 7 levels before i decided to train at the dead mine instead.  I did that because the experience given was just too little. (I had received an ‘exp-cut’ because I did a full pq before.)  Over these 7 levels, I have met many new people(good or bad; cute or ugly) and here is a list of things I(and probably many maplers) hate…

• A leader who always misses- I usually gives the leader a couple of chances as I know how difficult it is to be a successful pq leader and how frustrating it is if the members ‘mass-quit’ . However, this does not mean that I will hang around with a ‘confirm miss’ leader all day, waiting for him to successfully go into pq. (That is TOO time consuming!)  A piece of advice to all potential leaders:  If you don’t think you have the skill to be a leader, DON’T BE ONE!
• ’sure in’ members- How many times have you seen this?  In channel 1, there’s this high-leveled pro saying ‘I WAN RUSH/BLEACH*/FULL PQ MUST SURE IN@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@)  This is even more common in ludibrum pq.  This is a message for everyone who commonly says that:  I don’t agree with saying ’sure in’, for every leader is human and they all make mistakes(especially when trying to enter pq!)  Further more, entering pq is not as easy as you think!  And if you are so demanding and think that getting into pq is a piece of cake (we can infer that from what you have said)  why not create your own party?  Anyway, I have tested and found out that even though  you say sure in, there are still a lot of chances of ending up with a leader who cannot enter the pq.  Also, many leaders now prefer NOT TO add those who say ’sure in’.
• Irresponsible leaders-  There is now a function which allows the leader to appoint a new leader with a click of a button.  This function has often been abused, especially when the leader is in ‘dire straits’ :He keeps missing, people mass quit the party and in order to get himself out of the mess, he transfers the leadership to the highest leveled player.  This is very irresponsible.

 

* The name of this kind of pq varies from server to server.  It is called super-rush pq in Aquila; I’m using the bootes name as I am in bootes.

Phew!  You have come to the end of this wordy entry.  Thanks for reading! =)

Orbis PQ bug?

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??

The thing about events…

(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.

the super glitch

Have a look at this: new Map?  Or Just A Bug?

This is obviously a bug(otherwise the gms would announce).  i find it really amusing and at the smae time it shows us that our gms are not as ‘clever’ as we think…

look what i found this IS a roumor

Have a look at this: “look what I found, this isn’t a roumor”

lol.  Anyone heard of such a beginner skill in maplesea  ? Hands up please!

 Anyway, I’m furious about this post.  The author did not get his facts right before accusing maplesea  Sad, isn’t it?

Quote from the article: 

Scrolls can only be used when you have equipped the item that you wish to upgrade, but in KoreanMS, MapleSEA, and JapanMS, there is a new beginner skill that allows you to scroll an item without the need of equipping it.

An extremely short ‘rant’

Yesterday was the fourth of july.  Independance day for those mapleglobal people, but end of 2x exp, gm blessings (the best part of the whole maple event), grendel’s quest, maple weapons for us.  WAAAAAAAA!!! *sobx*

GMS vs SEA?

I found this interesting topic while scooting around basilmarket.  It seems that with the release of korean folk town and fishing, the GMS people are greener with envy…

Anyway, I find this whole thing rather ridiculous.  Why waste your time comparing?  Yes, SEA has more towns and stuff than GMS, but does this equate to happier maplers?  Certainly NOT!  We have to go through all sorts of uncalled for server mantainances (which are always extended), people get disconnected all the time, the gms are very unreasonable among other things.  In fact, I prefer to have a more stable server than get to go through all this technical mess.   Also, there are many ‘white elephants’ among their slew of updates, like MapleTV.

BTW, fishing is just a gimmick to get people to buy more cash to spend it on fishing rods and stuff liddat.  When you go into the fishing area, you get to reel in crappy stuff like mesos and exp(very little for both).  If I ever go into that place, I’ll post some screenshots here.

Pros- the real noobs?

I’m sure everyone has experienced this before:  You are happily tranining in some considered ‘noob’ area, when this snoobish little pro comes along,and ’steals your business’ by raiding the entire map.  (With the 3rd job adv skills, most of the time!)  A nastier version is followed by ksing.  I had experienced both kinds of frustrating injustice a dozen of times- and counting.  There was this time when a hermit came over to my dirt retz map and ksed me without any reason.  Dirty retz is certainly NOT the ideal thing for a hermit, or even a pro to train on.

Now my question to all the pros is this: Why do you want to execute such an injustice?  Are you trying to mock those who are lower levled than you?  Are you trying to make more enemies?  Or are you trying to prove to the whole maple world that although you are high levled, you are a noob in attitude and compassion?

MAPLE WEAPONS!!!

Yup, everyone loves them, everyone hates them for being so shy to maplers, but the maple weapons are back!!!!!!=)

WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG ENTRY FOR AN IMPORTANT (and boring)NEWSFLASH…

Dear Maplers,

Anyway,  I would like to ‘comprain’ a bit about the drop rate of this FABULOUS weapons.  The drop rate is tooo low!  Yesterday, i spent my time training on chronos, and some other ludi monsters(when I could have been pqing) but I didn’t get anything!  WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

BTW,Here’s a picture I made:
