Luminous teleport was nerfed. In the Better Maple notes, it says damage formula changed, but it isn't a move that does damage. Miscommunication there or it was nerfed unintentionally.

This nerf, along with the nerf to the distance of reflection has pretty much ruined the Luminous class. It is very hard to play with such restriction.

Also the change to the Light/Dark gauge is confusing and not communicated about afaik. It randomly activates equalization, the strongest buff Luminous gets and used to be able to trigger manually. This contributes to the fall of the Luminous class.

Please feel free to delete this for not following the format.

im considering quitting my lumi now

its terrible

jorgomli•

Very much the same here. A good time to convert my NX money into a gym membership I guess. :)

1
dateu•

It should be the kms version of lumi now, the same which jms/cms got so that may be a reason why. But they should have mentioned it in patch notes

1
jorgomli•

They mentioned the nerf to reflection and kind of the nerf to teleport. But they've made the class pretty much unplayable now.

1
SlatymateOPJett God•

To be honest, this is how you should play Luminous, not only using 2 buttons.

1
jorgomli•

Arguable

Edit: I still only use two buttons, but now I cant dodge anything and just simple movement is such a hassle that it isn't worth playing anymore. You see these other classes jumping 3 times and teleporting 30ft. Now we just sit here. Walking is almost faster than teleporting.

TemptedSwordStakerScania•

To clarify, the teleport is the only thing you are saying that is correct. Reflection was only like that for our version, this is the new version so suck it up.

Second, on the Light and Dark Guage. It's not confusing. When the purple or blue bar in the circle depletes it activates equlibrium. That's all you need to know. Just spam a light or dark skill until it puts you in it. Have fun.

1
jorgomli•

Its confusing because it wasn't mentioned anywhere how it works.

Thanks.

armarisauReboot•

, it says damage formula changed, but it isn't a move that does damage. Miscommunication there or it was nerfed unintentionally.

I was going to mention the formatting but you're aware of that. Luminous teleport was nerfed intentionally. The patch replicated KMS's Luminous and that's how they play over there. Perhaps the class might not be the best at mobbing anymore, but they're now better at bossing.

Also, it does not randomly activates equalization. Once you use enough light skills you are put into equilibrium and then darkness. Once you use enough dark skills you get switched back to equilibrium and then light. The class now forces you to play with both types of magic instead of just spamming reflection.

1
jorgomli•

It makes it really hard to boss when I can no longer dodge any attacks because of the teleport nerf. Imo, Luminous is worthless to main now. :(

1
armarisauReboot•

I guess it's going to take some time to get used to. I quit my Lumi a month ago because I got bored anyways. I don't think I'll ever go back to it now.

1
SoSteezyyNight Lord•

Anyone else think Shadowers are really clunky? With animationless meso explosion my dps is about the same as before the "buff" because there are times where when you use meso explosion you can't use assassinate for like half a second. Seems like a glitch because I never see that delay in kms videos.

1
LamatoWindia•

Yeah it seems as if you can't hold down nate and spam ME like I was hoping we could. Perhaps other Shadowers will find a good rhythm to it. Until then, I'm just spamming Nate until I reach max coin stacks (when bossing). It's amazing while training though.

1
SoSteezyyNight Lord•

In all the kms videos I've seen I never saw a delay like that so hopefully it's a glitch.

1
LamatoWindia•

It could very well be, but do keep in mind that latency/ping is more of an issue for GMS than it is in KMS. That could be a contributing factor. We'll need more Shadowers to confirm imo.

That sounds like a ping error that a lot of us get with other skills like fox fire spirits and other skills of the sort :/

Type of Bug:

Gameplay - Disconnections

Date and time of the incident (PST):

Description:

With the most recent patch, the potential line on equipments "__% chance to ignore __% damage" and/or in combination with the Hero's 2nd job skill Rage seems to trigger a disconnection via the "banned for hack reason." The instance that triggers the DC is getting hit by mobs or bosses, just being HIT and reflecting damage (rage reflects damage back to whatever hit you) and eventually the DC and npc chat "banned for hack reason" will appear.

Video / Screenshot:

Video proof of how I replicated the bug. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3CE762gQBk

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Equip any items with the potential line __% chance to ignore __% damage
  1. Use the Rage skill or any other damage reflecting skill
  2. Get hit by mobs, HIT by mobs not just standing in mobs and the mobs missing

Expected result:

NPC chat with the "banned for HACK reason." Promptly followed by a disconnect.

Observed result:

See video.

Reproduction rate:

100%

wintergun•

Just curious, did you test it out without rage/the equips with that potential?

Just asking since it might be due to lag that you are getting disconnected and not the potential line.

1
about_moonlight•

Yeah I did test w/o those equips + no Rage. I pretty much never DC if I do that. Haven't really had any problems with lag or DCs outside those circumstances.

1
PeeSockBroa•

I have no % ignore lines on my equips, but was disconnected when using Rage+ stolen monster damage reflect on my phantom. So it's likely that the two collide.

PsionSquared•

The Steam version of MapleStory is claiming the client is outdated, even after wiping and doing a full reinstall.

1
jorgomli•

It's working fine for me. I'm not sure what is different about your setup.

1
PsionSquared•

Ended up just downloading the Nexon launcher and doing it that way. Not sure what was going on.

1
redmaskdit•

Right click MapleStory in steam and do an integrity check. It'll either download the missing files or download the whole thing

1
PsionSquared•

That had no effect at the time, and I'd done a full reinstall too.

I ended up fixing it by just using the Nexon Launcher.

Holds with arrows too, picked a few up in MP3 today (picked up a single bullet as well).

I actually found keys in Crimsonheart castle too, I assume keys still drop everywhere still.

However I never heard that they ever removed bullets from dropping though.

edit: It's possible this issue has been fixed in v.177.2.0

Ha, if they remove bullets from dropping then they need to remove throwing stars from dropping as well. How do you guys feel about that?

Date and time of the incident (PST):

October 19 between 18:30-19:15 PST and 22:00-22:30 PST
October 20 between 19:00-20:00 PST

Description:

Every player in the Ursus battle map disconnects after Ursus grabs a player in its mouth or its hand. Not all grabs will cause the client to crash, however the frequency of Ursus's grab attacks makes this a problem in all Ursus raids.

Video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqOiAvq1rYw

The first round of crashes happen to 3 players at around 2:50, as Ursus ends the "eating" attack. The second round of crashes occur at 3:44, as Ursus uses the grabbing attack; all remaining players in the map crashed.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter Ursus battle
2. Reduce Ursus's HP by at least 20%
3. Have at least 1 player get grabbed by Ursus

Expected result:

Players attack Ursus' mouth/hand until Ursus lets go of the players, and the raid continues as normal

Observed result:

Players' game client freezes and subsequently crashes as Ursus uses grab attacks

Reproduction rate:

10/10 (occurred 9 out of 9 runs, which involved a total of at least 30 unique users)

Funktronick•

You need to basic attack the chest...

1
Kojaks•

Just wanted to confirm this bug for myself as well. It's definitely not just an issue of "just attack the chest." I tried fervently to get through the quest, but it's certainly bugged.

The only difference for me was that I was able to spawn the ghosts and kill them, but I telelported out of the map and back in before it bugged and I couldn't access the chest in any way. I couldn't get the ghosts to spawn again either. Tried changing channels, relogging, waiting, dropping the quest (you can't), to no avail.

Another confirmation, mine is bugged. I spoke to nexon via live chat, seems like they are aware

Type of Bug:

Loot latency issues (especially with Pets)

Date and time of the incident (PST):

Since the last update on October 19th 2016

Description:

Even though it was announced here that the pet loot latency issues would be improved, that was not the case. It's almost the same as it was before, maybe with a 10% improvement.

Apparently, there's an issue that makes the server and client ping each other every single time you loot 1 item/meso or kill 1 mob. I assume that the client and server ping each other to try to check if the mob killed or the item/meso looted is part of a quest in progress.

The thing is that every class has a mobbing skill that let them kill several mobs at the same time and those mobs also drops several items/mesos so the lag gets worse everytime you kill and more items/mesos are dropped. You can check that in the video #1.

However, sometimes the whole quest system gets glitched and you cannot see any "available", "in progress" or "completed" quests nor the Quest Helper/Sudden Missions works. When that happens you don't get ANY LAG AT ALL as you can see in the video #2. Even though this is a glitch it is also a blessing because you can play the game smoothly while looting and killing mobs.

Videos:

Video #1 - Loot lag

Video #2 - Quest system bug and therefore no lag

Credits to: jarakuda and somerandomferi2 for their videos.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Kill mobs that drops a lot of items or mesos
  1. Try to not get depressed because of the lag.

Expected result:

We shouldn't be experiencing any lag at all. It should be exactly as it is shown in video #2 but without the quest system bug. Is that too much to ask? They fixed it in KMS, ask them for help.

Observed result:

Massive latency lag when looting/killing

Reproduction rate:

100%
