MapleStory 2 Accessory Socket Improvement Plan Is Now Underway

As most of the Maplers might have known about, MapleStory 2 was officially rolling out Mar. 28th update and already deployed into the game. The so-called Mar. 28th update features 3 diverse main aspects, including the establishment of the MapleStory 2 Mesos Market, an escalation of Epic Pet drop rate and fixes of Meso Sink Reduction issue. Although it was made clear in the last announcement that this update would be merely a prelude to the massive subsequent fix-ups, still, many praised for the improvements the update have brought along after an immersive experience of the new game. 

In the meantime, MapleStory 2 is still sticking to the Project New Leaf, which has been inaugurated for an overhaul to the game inside out, and ready to surmount another obstacle ahead of it - Accessory Socket. 

Earlier today, In the official announcement, MapleStory 2 pledged to release another update concerned with Progression Improvement in the next month, as well as expanded on the specifics of the next update content. The announcement also stated that as one of the main subjects in this Project New Leaf, Progression Improvement would become the last one left to be dealt with. 

As the top priority of this Progression Improvement, Accessory Socket is undoubtingly the star of this post. Much of the remainder of this post focused on how to fix this issue and what measures would they take. However, for starters, they actually pointed out that the random elements for opening accessory sockets combined with the accessory fusion Meso cost are extremely excruciating for many players. How to fix it? And what will it take to make the progress less painful and more intriguing as it should be? MapleStory 2 producer seems to have some kind of plan coming to his mind already. 

Here are the current requirements for opening any Lv. 50 Epic Accessories in the game:



And Here is the producer's proposal of an improvement to the requirements:


You don't need to be hyped up for these changes too early. Based on the announcement, the actual accessories categories applied to those improvements go way beyond the limitation. So your Legendary Accessories are also incorporated in the list.

As you can see from the charts, what MapleStory 2 tried to work out is making each attempt to opening one accessory socket "guaranteed with double the amount of accessories needed while keeping the Crystal Fragment cost the same." In the meantime, uplifting the success rate into 100% so that the general cost of successfully opening a socket can be tremendously degraded compared to the current mechanic it adopts. This kind of improvement, of course, will be favored by Maplers and contributed to the reflux of runaway players to some extent.

Respawn Is “Disappointed” That Apex Legends Fans Aren’t As Horny As Overwatch’s

Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella has delivered a stinging rebuke to fans of Apex Legends, saying that he “expected more porn by now.” With both games featuring a strong character-driven roster of heroes, the comparisons between Apex Legends and Overwatch have been raised ever since Respawn’s new game first launched. However, according to Zampella, one major difference is that Overwatch fans are “insatiably horny.” “Our audience has delivered in nearly every way,” Zampella said. “They’re dedicated. They’re intelligent. They’re giving us great feedback. I just wish they would hurry up and draw Lifeline and Mirage doing it, or something. “The Overwatch community is crazy horny. Just so, incredibly horny. All I’m saying is that it would make all of us here at Respawn feel appreciated if we could see some fan art of Pathfinder railing another Pathfinder on a couch.” After a brief, uncomfortable pause, he added: “Just brainstorming here…” It’s no secret that Overwatch has ma...

MapleStory 2: Why Does Nexon Try To Exclude Itself From Being Endearing?

As it launched the first expansion called Skybound and inaugurate another battlefield hovering over the sky, MapleStory 2, the sequel of widely praised MapleStory, was announcing and celebrating its two-month-release gala with the Maplers that have been supporting and caring for the game. It's not been so smooth on the path of running MapleStory 2 as Nexon expected since its premiere on October 10. Compared to its predecessor MapleStory as a worldwide megahit back in the 2000s, MapleStory 2 is now confronting the ever-decreasing concurrent players, as well as loss of tremendous nostalgic fanbase. Admittedly, MapleStory 2 had a good run in the very beginning though as its highlights and creativity were rapidly strangled with several chronic diseases sprawling all over the game afterward, such as Meso seller, UGC theft, the absurd level of RNG and correlative complaints... The game now has so many calamities to be dealt with that even if some new contents with intentionally headline...

MapleStory 2 Unprecedented Self-correction: A Bit Late Yet Still Better Than Never

The bombshell that was dropped from Nexon, the developer of MapleStory franchise earlier today was rather unprecedented and infusive. After having been downplaying the pile of MapleStory 2's detrimental mechanics and its highly controversial contents and neglecting of their endangerments to its community and its fanbase, Nexon finally picked itself up again and made up its own mind to bite the bullet in order to avoid the further loss of the game's active players. A fresh project named "New Leaf", which was created by MapleStory 2 devs and already owned a themed website page, officially go live by now. Project New Leaf is designed to address all the most-concerned and troublesome issues from MapleStory 2 that basically have haunted the game for a long period, or from the very beginning, such as RNG, Progression issues, Fairfight system, Meso Trades, and so on. Considering MapleStory 2 developers initially belittled the size of these issues and ignored most of t...
