On a consistent basis, I am shot down from boss runs with the usual scenario being: 'Okay, so right now I'm sitting at a Level 141 Paladin with Blast 30, however, I have NEVER eaten up all of my Daily boss runs. OP mentioned that there are more lv 10+ beginners than lv 30+ pages, white knights, and paladins. Because of the lack of party skill, they are a dead class. Yes, the scarcity may be appealing to some people, but to the vast majority of the population, it is not. That's true, because they're basically watered-down Heroes. ' Some may argue that this is the life of the Paladin lonely and misunderstood. 'No Party buffs, so unless you're super-duper strong, not many people will recruits a paladin for boss runs' It's no wonder that you see the following quotes on other servers: This means that weaker classes, such as Paladins, end up excluded from boss raiding altogether. This is incredibly dangerous to the game, because you end up with parties that ONLY include the strongest attacker classes. On most v62 private servers, especially servers that are saturated with Onyx Apples or Heartstoppers (potions that give players upwards to +100 weapon attack), players will be reluctant to raid with more than 4 - 5 in a party, in order to get the most profit out of the raid as possible. The average Chaos Zakum raid had 11.83 players.The average Horntail raid had 11.35 players.The average Castellan raid had 12.0 players (raiding with the maximum amount of players possible every time).The average The Boss raid had 11.78 players.The average Zakum raid had 10.97 players.The average Papulatus raid had 7.20 players.The average Pianus raid had 7.52 players.Please note that the maximum amount of players that can enter a raid is 12. For further emphasis, here are some data points for the month of September 2016. The math is simple - more players, more redeemable rewards. It promotes larger parties, including as many players as possible.Because the badges are reserved to one per player, there is no confusion about who gets what. Loot-stealing or ninja looting is not possible.When a boss is slain, it drops one-of-a-kind badges (can only be picked up once per player) that can be redeemed for prizes. An example of this is how we've designed raid prizes. Not everything that existed in 2008 was as simple as they could have been, so we believe it is our duty to redesign the game in a way that's clean and original, while maintaining nostalgia where it counts.Īlthough the feat of soloing bosses is an exciting challenge, players should be encouraged to party up whenever possible. Our perspective is that other nostalgic private servers are broken in their game design. Our goal in designing features is keeping things simple, and not necessarily implementing the exact design that v62 originally had. There's a need for nostalgia, being a nostalgic server, but we don't let nostalgia ever limit us in the content we provide. We want to be the first nostalgic server to do things a little differently. However, every once in a while, rather clever players will ask the more important question - ' Why does MapleSaga exist as a private server?'įrom day one, MapleSaga has challenged the status quo. Often, players will ask about the features of MapleSaga, and just like many private servers, we do list these features out wherever possible.
