    Power Creep, when new features, weapons or other ways of getting stronger are added to a game. Creating an imbalance and making older content obsolete. No progression based MMO is safe from it, especially not maplestory. But what does it look like when the game has already been running for 20 years?

      It wasn't that took a long time grind that made it fun
      It was the social chat and activities
      It was like MSN etc but more interactive in an RPG format
      While it was pain but satisfying and sometimes even exciting when you start breaking certain damage thresholds, it was a slow grind so it was a game where you pretty much enjoy your time achieving everything in your slow time cuz speed grinding wasn't as encouraged cuz it was so slow anyway.
      And while you can grind for a chance for above average power boost or you can go for the standard PQ for low power but consistent EQ rewards and they were basically the only way for you to gain more different types of EQ such as face acc.

However, it's wild to see how much has been added, along with QOL features. The game is still so fun but it can definitely be a bit intimidating to new or very very old returning players like myself. This is a great TLDR of all the things that have happened over the years!

      A lot of people started playing at 9-10yrs old. i got hooked on it in 2007 so i was basically in my last year of high school. dropped out to keep playing it more lol. So you would have to be Gen X to be consider old. Between 1970=11979 those were the harder years @ 20yrs you would be following the cycle of everyone else. School/work/sleep. So only a small amount of millennials had easy money from fortunate folks to invest in Maplestory back than. Given i was 17 in 2007 you can say the hackers were about 25+. "Hey hackers if you read this i know you are over 40+ and hopefully you have a family now, if not i guess karma got you finally from back than.

    one of the first sets introduced with a set bonus was actually the Von Leon set. Don't know the specifics but this was not too long after the Big Bang update and the Von Leon castle would be one of the first times where the Skele's in leafre would be dethroned as grinding spot. This period was also dotted with a lot of controversy in EU servers since hacking was rampant which led to one of the few major wipes of illegally acquired gear and mesos.

    • @KeroTheInvincible
      @KeroTheInvincible Год назад +15

      Exactly. In modern day Maple, when you job advance, you can put a point in each of your new skills and mostly have them replace your previous job's skills.
      Back then, if you advanced from Thief to Bandit you'd find that your lvl 20 Double Stab from 1st job was still doing two hits of 130%, a total of 260% per press of the button. But at lvl 1, your new Savage Blow skill would only be doing 4 hits of 40% damage, a total of 160% per swing. You'd need to raise Savage Blow to level 8 (of 30) to even get slightly above your 1st job skill, which is another 3 level-ups worth of SP after job advancing, and thats if you COMPLETELY IGNORE getting other skills like say.....Dagger Mastery, Dagger Booster, and Haste.
      Of course, you could certainly grab a single level of those skills if you wanted.......if you don't mind them lasting for 10 seconds each....

The 3rd job is where stuff could go terribly wrong, if you took the wrong skills in wrong order on some classes you were screwd.

    I honestly have no idea how people (especially for the older generations dating back to pre-BB) keep up with the constant additions being added to the system for progression, it's all so overwhelming. I applaud the commitment, even for the casual players haha.
    I missed the times where everything was simpler and the small things mattered a lot -- people appreciated and celebrated even the smallest achievements, not to mention a lot more social (MSN, Skype, and forums being the main ways to contact each other outside of the game). If you know how today's digital culture works compared to back in the 2000s (bonus points if you experienced it yourself), the concept of instant gratification also ended up creeping into this game in its own ways, which to me, is unfortunate (not to say I don't appreciate improvements). I quit the game a decade ago since I became no longer content with the path the game has gone into alongside with my friends quitting as well for similar reasons. The classes have little to no uniqueness to them anymore (MMs being the only class who can break the damage cap with Piercing Arrow, BMs with Hurricane, NLs with FJ...etc.) and not to mention the amount of pay2win aspects that are still involved.
    Current MapleStory may has its upsides, but it'll never be at its prime as it was before. It was good when it lasted. 👍

    Great vid on the history of every gamers worst nightmare... Powercreep! :D
    However, you're missing a few "Max damage" numbers in your information while you included pre-3rd job areas and all ;)
    99.999 used to be a soft damage cap and doing higher damage would instantly disconnect you... No one even got CLOSE to it anyway pre-4th and potentials... beside ChiefBandit with Meso Explosion, R.I.P Zak runs.
    This later became 199.999 when 4th job and Pink Bean came out.
    Little later, we had 999.999 dmg cap (Around Merc, Kaiser and Phantom, not sure the specific date), and Hyper Skills came along there was also Hyper skill allowing for +50.000 for a dmg cap of 1.049.999
    Hypers attacks could hit up to 10m (5m? higher? I have conflicting information in my screenshot folders).
    A special mention to Angelic Busters who could hit 10m each hit when it came out, compared to everyone else who could only hit 1m at the same time. Which is why so many choose her for Magnus runs cause her Purple Ball attack was completely broken with the amount of balls possible and 1m dmg cap was to low for Hard Magnus.
    This later became 50m as you mentioned, and the +50.000 became 10% instead so hitting 55m would be possible.. which later became "Epic Adventurer" which gives 10% dmg instead.
    There was also something allowing you to hit +15.000 dmg more when 50m dmg cap was a thing... from somewhere, maybe a party skill or a ring.

    Only real good thing I liked about classic maple was the fact that people actually grouped up, and grinded in groups, and did party quests all the time. Was a lot more entertaining. Sadly now not a lot of grouping going on, and I'm not even sure people do party quests anymore.

    I wish Maple had a reasonable way to add low level gear appearance to higher level. I know, this might hurt cash shop sales, but the looks on armor up to level 120 is much more compelling and I feel it's wasted fashion

    Never really played MS, but I have played BDO since it released, and this video got me thinking about power creep. Its actually pretty weird in BDO because the top gear has been around for a while generally, and they don't really make new gear sets, but instead make upgrading so prohibitively difficult that it ends up taking months between upgrades for many players. That said they still add new features that slowly add marginal upgrades to your speed and efficiency and those marginal upgrades really stack up over time.

    I like the power creep, I was just thinking last night about how maplestory is like the king of power creep and how its not necessarily a bad thing if balance is maintained. Games like Destiny 2 could learn from this.
    What makes power creep sustainable is new content and balancing. I feel like more INFLATED damage helps with the dopamine kick.
    My biggest issue is a no spawn enhancement grinding at lvl 230+

    • @HowlingDoom
      @HowlingDoom Год назад +2

      Power Creep isn't inherently bad and exist in pretty much any game with progression. It's expected that the player get better the further they progress and are given new tools and abilities. This is especially true when you have a game thats gone on for 20+ years. Old content is just gonna be power crept and mechanically crept as new shit is done. What matters is what you said, that balance is maintain and that new content is designed with the current power and potential future power, or given some incentive to be done even after it's time.

    The issue i have with maple story is that the damage numbers are super cluttered. If you can just change the size, opacity or move it to a screen away from you character and what you're hitting it would be more enjoyable. Same with the flashy spells that take up a bunch of screen space. Just let use reduce the opacity so I can't see whatever I'm doing.

    Ha. Nice video. Perfect timing. I stopped playing MS in 2011 when I graduated college. Suddenly wondered what MS was still around 13 years later.
    Can't believe the game is still alive.
    This is confusing as hell though....... they added so much stuff.
    I really liked when MS was challenging. EVEN when I quit in 2011, I thought it was getting a little too easy. I didn't like how they started making EVERYONE super mobile. The classes started to feel like all the same. There was no reason to choose one class or another anymore. EVERYONE was tanky, mobile, and had range, so why did classes even matter.
    Instead of creating new areas and monsters, they just kept making changes to the classes. I didn't like the direction it was going in.
    Crazy that it's still around though.

    I feel like power creep made all sense of progression meaningless. I was playing on an prebig bang server and all the small details mattered, how much mesos you have saved up, getting your first 100k, doing damage, even increasing it by 100 more damage all felt good.

      I quit in 2011. I remember it was getting easier and easier that it just got boring. And they weren't releasing new areas or content... just more cash shop stuff and class changes.
      With how crazy it looked, it didn't seem like a hard game anymore. You confirmed it.

    I actually enjoyed Maplestory more when it was new. I came to it from Ragnarok Online. Might have been because it was new or because you could actually make builds since all stats did something and you could not max all skills. Back then i also loved the grind, not for the grind itself but because i was one of the top assassins on my server and that was a point of pride and i had gotten something from the time i put in. All in all i liked the game more back then but i still play it xD and i might just be old and sad now i dont know. I just think that by catoring to everyone you cater to no one.
