Countdown Til BB-JMST Opening

[RavuhX]

3 hours

This topic really isnt necessary, but I am just super excited about it coming to JMS :D

[Polantaris]

When JMST opens, we should turn it into a JMS BB countdown.

[Foolinaround]

so jmst is open to erryone? just downloading the two things justin posted and use your regular login info?

[Polantaris]

As far as we know, seems to be.

[Pyro]

I really hope my login info is what I think it is.

[Foolinaround]

Same^

Ive been searching my desktop for 10 minutes for everything related to tekoix to find the login info.

[Soarele]

So looking at the main JMS site, the test server is definitely open to everyone (announcement labeled 公開テスト).

NOTE: Only accounts made by Nov. 1st are eligible to play on the test server.
●公開テスト参加対象者
2010年11月1日(月)までに登録されているMapleIDをお持ちの方全員

[Polantaris]

So you can't make a new account and get access. Most of us already have an account from some point in time so it's not a big deal.

[Foolinaround]

I have like 10,with chars in all kinds of level ranges form like 60-13x,i just have to remember the logins O_O,FUUUUUUU i know i had a notepad doc or something of them

[RavuhX]

Gotta make the account before Nov 1 2010 in order to play. So its not TECHNICALLY everyone.

An hour and 19 mins to go! :D

[Pyro]

I figured out my Nexon ID
:thumbsup:

[Foolinaround]

Any kind of IGN list guys? anyone on right now? regular jms that is.

[RavuhX]

An hour to go.

[Foolinaround]

Im stoked,i actually signed onto my NL,i have like 57m on there and a bunch of scrolls,i forgot i left it actually like playable. Its equips are decent.

Im just excited for JMST,is it basically BB testing?

[RavuhX]

Basically, yeah. Just like KMST.

[Foolinaround]

Totally excited then,Any idea what yall are gonna make for chars?

[RavuhX]

Either a Bandit or I/L Mage.

[Foolinaround]

Weird,i was going to go Dit as well,Might also make a quick KoC for blessing,if available.

[RavuhX]

Really? Dits just look so much fun after BB.

Which KOC you gonna make if you do? If I was making KOC my original plan was either NW or TB.

[ShiKage]

I'm going to make a Paladin. My IGN will probably be Justin or ShiKage (Justin will MOST LIKELY be taken, just like any other JP game. XD)

[Foolinaround]

TB or DW,they level the fastest.

12 hit SB just sounds insane you know,plus i always loved theif class.

[RavuhX]

I'm just excited for FJ and SP, like you said.

The only reasons I liked a sin were for FJ and SP, but since Bandits got it now (Theyve always been my fave) I figured it'd be perfect timing.

[halokid22]

i have a few questions,
1. do i haf to have jMS installed to play?
2. Do we haf to make new characters in the test server?
3. is a proxy required?
4. are the rates different in the test server?
5. how exactly do i connect to the jMST?

thx

1. No, JMST is it's own client and files.

2. Yes.

3. Not sure yet, but most likely.

4. Probably not, if it follows KMST. However the PQs will give a ton of EXP IIRC.

5. Download the two rar files, extract them both into the same folder, and run the client. You have to have a JMS account registered BEFORE Nov. 1st, 2010 in order to play.

1. No.
2. Yes.
3. No idea yet. There's a high chance we will have to use one.
4. Yes. Nexon stated on their site that the EXP and Drop rates will be different than the official server, due to the restricted testing time.
5. The same way as any other server. As long as you have the test client's files, you can play.

[Foolinaround]

So boosted exp sweet,whats this about boosted pq though?

[RavuhX]

Well I saw an SS from KMST when BB was being tested there. It was someone getting 300,000 EXP from CPQ.

[ShiKage]

So boosted exp sweet,whats this about boosted pq though?

In KMST when Big Bang was released, PQs, like CPQ, were giving out at least 10x the EXP they usually do. I believe a win in CPQ2 gave 800,000 EXP, which was almost two levels until around level 65.

[Foolinaround]

Thats sickening. Do we need a diff thread for igns?

Ill prolly have Foolinaround for my main,and then depeneding on cygnus Something like those.

I wonder if theyll give us pets.

[ShiKage]

That's probably a good idea.

Does anyone have a specific build for a Paladin? I don't quite remember what skills do what (the newer ones, of course).

[solar742]

~15mins till opening.

[Foolinaround]

Its close to what a fighter would be i imagine 30-70,past that i cant say.

Just go 5 mastery max ground smash max mastery max rage max powerguard max booster one into whatever the last skill remaining is.

[RavuhX]

9 mins to go! :D IGN Thread is up.

[ShiKage]

Thanks, but I kind of meant after 2nd job. XD

I know that in 2nd job, the two new skills are Ground Smash and that Advanced Basics skill that increases the damage of Power Strike and Slash Blast.

[Foolinaround]

Advanced basics is junk,hmm i think there is one posted up here,im sure casper made a comment about it.

[ShiKage]

Oh, well... It's not like I can't read Japanese, so I guess I'll have to think up a build as I go along. xP

[Foolinaround]

It shouldnt be hard,considering the amount of leveling

Max a charge
Max Charged Blow
Max a charge
Max Combat Orders
Max recovery
Max a charge
Max shield mastery


Basically,just make whicever charge you want,then go,at least thats what i can assume.

[RavuhX]

A minute to go :D

[Foolinaround]

Anyone actually check the site to make sure there isnt a delay? also 11 ppl viewing this thread....

Only Combat Orders is new in 3rd job? Interesting. I thought there was another skill.


What's the skill in 4th job? It's all in Korean on Fiel's extractions, so I obviously can't make out what it says. D:

[RavuhX]

Disregard this, there is a new Maplestory.exe you can install instead of the rar files.

[Foolinaround]

Hmm,i cant connect?

Anyway justin im not too sure,i just grabbed that outta the air as to off the top of my head.

[Foolinaround]

OMFG is opened! i think,windowed mode?!

[Polantaris]

That's probably a good idea.

You can go off the Pally build I used in KMS, but that depends on how easily you can pick up ACB, since in KMS it's a Zakum-only book.

Job up: 1 in Blast, Rush, and Holy Charge
If you get an ACB book:
Levels 121-124: Master ACB
Levels 124-130: Max Holy Charge
From there, I was working on Blast before I stopped playing.

[RavuhX]

Finally open!

[ShiKage]

There's an IP block. D:

IGN : Justin

[RavuhX]

Yay it has resistance too! :D

[halokid22]

so how do you recommend we connect?

[Skylit]

Jms finally managed to block me.

Justin, get on msn.

[ShiKage]

I couldn't make a resistance. I clicked on the icon and it did nothing, but Adventurer worked.


Anyone have a working proxy at the moment? The one I usually use isn't working apparently...


I don't have MSN, Jake. D:

[Foolinaround]

I used the vpn method,worked fine. also add me FoolinKoc

[halokid22]

whats the vpn method? could you give me a link/guide?

[ShiKage]

XFire is down.

[Skylit]

XFire is down.

AIM EXPRESS?

[Foolinaround]

its somewhere in one of the jms threads a link was posted.

[Polantaris]

Alright guys update: Packetix isn't working. They decreased the time delay allowed, by the time Packetix is disabled and a connection is reestablished, you get disconnected. HOWEVER, you can still play with it on, but it will be incredibly laggy.

[Foolinaround]

im playing with it on,its not too bad

[RavuhX]

Add me on DangoAki everyone :P You cant use IGNs from JMS

[Polantaris]

Add me on DangoAki everyone :P You cant use IGNs from JMS

I could. I couldn't use Polantaris in Keyaki because I have a character named that on Popura, but I can in JMST.

[ShiKage]

FFFFFFFFFF

This is pissing me right the fuck off. NONE OF THE GOD DAMN PASSWORDS for the VPNs for today are working... NONE AT ALL.

[danielcatu]

wait they blocked the "unblocked countries" on tespia? :ahh:

also if I made a account on november 1st I cant play tespia right?

[Skylit]

Justin, have AIM? Express = no DL :(

[ShiKage]

I don't have any messgenger programs except XFire and Skype, Jake.

[Max]

the new map ui in kmst is weeeeeiiiiiiiirrrd (and ugly).

[Skylit]

I don't have any messgenger programs except XFire and Skype, Jake.

skype?

[Rip]

You can't make DBs or Evans from what I can see. You land in some room with Dark Lord and you can't get out.

[Polantaris]

It seems EXTREMELY Buggy. I don't know how they expect to release it in 25 or so days.

The server is continually crashing, however this might be the actual test server, but it's more likely that there are bugs that are crashing the Channels. At this point (When I left a few minutes ago), every channel but one was crashed, and they continually crashed within minutes of reopening. Either the server is overloaded, or they are getting fatal errors.

Some NPCs and the server name do not have translated names, resulting in ????s.

During one random crash, I got teleported from Perion to the middle of Ellinia (A level 24 area at level 11).

Rollbacks are frequent due to the server not saving before you are disconnected suddenly.

Apparently the Resistance button doesn't even work, and as Rip said, DBs and Evans cannot begin. I think this is because of the changed story for Evans (Aren't they in Leafre in JMS?), so either they are going to be revamped back into Vic, or they are doing something with Leafre to make it possible for Evans to start in.

I expect a maintanance within 6-12 hours. Hopefully they revamped their team because if they are anything like the way the JMS team has been in the past, this has no chance of being ready in 25ish days.

[RavuhX]

It is becoming unbearable to play now. Hopefully they have a maint. soon so they fix some of this.

WAY too many crashes and roll backs at the moment.

[ShiKage]

No joke. It literally crashes every minute. Hell, probably not even that... I get on, turn in a quest, kill a few monters, get about ~50% exp, get disconnected, find out I have to do it all over again. It just keeps happening over and over and over and over and over.

There's no way Big Bang will be playable on the 24th.

[Polantaris]

Nope. There's no chance, unless they hired 100 people to make sure it gets done...but knowing Nexon...it won't be ready.

Justin, if you keep tabs on the JMS page, let us know if you see anything about a maint. The game will remain unplayable at least until a maint where they can patch SOMETHING. Of course they have to find it first, but still.

[solar742]

JMST has now closed.

[Polantaris]

Let's countdown to JMS BB opening! XD

13 days? Or is it 12 at this point?

[Aslemn]

Nah, only nine days.

[RavuhX]

9 days? That was fast. I can't wait!

[Polantaris]

It's actually eight now, provided they have the patch by 3:00 PM JST.

[RavuhX]

Is it just me or are they removing gacha for BB?

[ShiKage]

Where do you see that? I saw the Gachapon machines in the test server.

[KeiichiKun]

Where do you see that? I saw the Gachapon machines in the test server.

We sure saw them being put the use. :dizzy:

[Polantaris]

The only thing they are removing is EXP Coupons, and for good reason. They aren't needed anymore. Gacha removal would be like taking out the only other way they make money.

[RavuhX]

It says theyre removing the following items:

経験値ガシャポン
ガシャポン(兵法書)の機能を停止します。

EXP Gacha and Gacha itself?

[ShiKage]

Edit : Nevermind... I should have just looked at Sonar. lolol


兵法書 = the EXP scrolls. http://maplesonar.com/wiki/index.php?%E5%85%B5%E6%B3%95%E6%9B%B8


The EXP gach and the scrolls were removed.

[RavuhX]

Ah alright! Thanks for clearing that up.

[ShiKage]

Three and a half days to go! *pisses pants in excitement*

I took a picture of my stats to compare it to what it'll be after Big Bang.

[Polantaris]

I should do that on my Archer just to see.
