I quit MS about a 3/4 year ago because of the PQs being dead and 2x exp taking over and making non-NX users feel like crap when training. No one did Magatia PQ and when you did do it, a small mistake made by another person made other members furious and they left. Wizards/Mages are left out of boss fights and we dealt only about 40% of the damage other classes made. I went to my little Bandit and Ludibrium PQ was glitched. All of this made me stop it for a while. 1) Have they fixed Ludi PQ? 2) Have they made changes to Wizards/Mages damage to Bosses? 3) Are there still any elementally weak monsters that are highly efficent to train at level 71? 4) How much does 2x EXP still affect the training? If you guys can answer these questions and I like the results, I might come back. I miss MapleStory.

1) Nothing is currently wrong with it as far as I can tell. 2) Well, with the balance patch over the next few years in the different installments their damage should be increased. 3) Yeah, jesters are fire-weak. Sorry, i/ls. 4) It doubles it. And during events it's near impossible to acquire a map.

"How much does 2x EXP still affect the training?" It gives twice the experience. F3

Yes They might make changes, if you look at KMST extractions I am not sure but ever try Twisted Jester (not being helpful) 2x EXP is still used a lot

1) Yes 2) With the revamp that's coming a 6 months or so, at 3rd job, you get elemental reset 3) I don't know, check the guides 4) 2x Exp affects training a lot, but there are more 2x events, and there's this place called the Golden Temple, where the monsters give 2x EXP of normal ones. The revamp is also removing half the EXP bar, so it's like perm 2x.

[/quote] 1) Yes it is fixed; it's been fixed since 3/4 years ago. 2) They made it in KMST; they will become pretty good at bossing. Right now however only bishops are wanted for boss fights. 3) Yes. 4) By double O_o But aside from your questions, there are a lot of other features. 1) Carnival PQ. Despite the lame name, it is amazing EXP for a level 30 to 40 bandit/warrior/mage class. It lasts until level 51. 2) Carnival PQ 2. Again, great EXP, goes until level 71. 3) Pyramid PQ. Great for some completely threat-less and no-waiting training. Amazing for mobbers like i/l mages. Lasts until level 200. Goes from level 40. Different levels of difficulty and EXP distribution. 4) Magatia PQ was not out 3 or 4 years ago, neither was 2x exp. 5) 2x exp will always be dominant no matter what. This will not change in any game. Carnival PQ is best for people on 1x exp, same with Pyramid PQ. They are quite fast. However, with the release of the new area Golden Temple with absurd EXP/HP rates, people with NX (it costs 500 NX to enter) will not only train almost as fast as PQers on 1x, but training on 4x exp will be even better. Unfortunately, if you quitted because you continuously hated the fact that people with NX or money kept dominating, then you should not come back. However, there are a lot more players now. More players mean more people who have NX, but it also means more people who DON'T have NX. I don't know how you will play without logging onto the website. You must log onto the website and start the game from there. You might be able to force a start, but I never bothered to find out how.

It was good exp and I succeeded in completing a 2 year long fight to 3rd Job. When I did 3rd job and leveled to 71, NOBODY did MPQ. Everyone was populating MP3 (ironic really because I was one of the first Broans to start training there. Empty all day everyday) and I live in Europe so it made things 2x hard. Training was the only thing left and the training is the think that didn't go well.
