IT IS DONE

Yes. IT IS DONE. Thks to all who grats me. Just Heard that Cass crashed at 12:45am... heng not aquila... relogged to hopefully 'save'  my character... and now i'm stuck at hackshield zzzzzzzzzzz

All i need is...

Hero only managed to train till 46% on tues... yesterday break from maple... went trickster yesterday... did the nora big hunter quest like a total of 85 times, also did some drilling to complete some quests that give TM exp... managed to lvl from like TM lvl 107 all the way to 120! Now i've gotten the lvl to job change, need to get the ITEMS for job changed. drilled a while for scared water late last night than got sick of it... ended up buying scared water at 80k, alexandrite at 300k, and ticket of the valiant at 150k... sold 10 nora key cards at 100k each during the night which more than made up for the purchases :P couldnt find any adamantite for sale last night, hope i can get one tonight!

back to rushing hero today with the 1.5x coupons just out in cs... 55% now... hope i cant make it tonight!

So close yet so far...

yes... decided to call it a day even tho i'm just 2.5% from 199. everyone gng sleep liao... exp slowing to a crawl... might as well just take a break. i really hope the server stays up tmr... found a pt to train full day with, and we're even gonna invest pt bonus exp cards >< sians. stupid server check just now, else i'd certainly have lvled! end up i was stuck w/o a pt during 1.5x exp... towards the end finally managed to form a full pt, but HS makes a lot of diff yeah... plus half the time it was just a 3 man pt... zzzzzzzz

i'm expecting to be able to get something like 70-80% exp tmr if all goes well... unfortunately that means i'm putting my trickster on hold... wondering and doubting if i can gain enough TM lvls before the event ends... oh wells...

on top of that, i've got a test on monday to study for... and group presentationSSS to work on. haiz.

WTF is up with maple???

1st they give 'compensation' for all the down time by giving 1.5x exp, than they announce a server maintenance that eats up half of the 1.5x exp. gg lah. really crap...! i went on9, found that my bl was training with his friends and got last slot left so i joined them... we all got ready to chiong... i bought a 1.2x card and serveral of them bought 1.2x cards and even the pt exp bonus cards... train for like 1 hour than the notice pop up say got 3 hours of urgent server check. PRO. i was still thinking its 'safer' cos its weekday + they purposely give 1.5x exp slot... -.-'''

seriously if i wasnt that close to my goal, i wouldnt bother playing maple at all... managed to train till like 84% just now... so close yet so far zzzzzzzzz! if i can get a FULL day of lag free, crash free, maintenance free training, i'll be able to gain like 40-50% already....! sianz. back to trickster. everytime i maple, i regret doing so later on zzzzzzzzzz. but wat to do? i want my lvl 200 and be done with it.. the rest of the chars can rot as they are forever and ever...

anyway... made a mistake earlier on trickster... 3rd job is at lvl 130/120, not 140/120 as i wrote previously... f3. that means my main lvl is almost done liao... gng to hit lvl 129 already... so gotta rush hunter quests that give TM exp... wanna get my job change fast, gotta do it before 5th oct too to get the event rewards!

Rep Points n Power

Went on maple for the sole purpose of the paint event and ani raid... finished hunting paint for the rest of the event on hero and sm... already done so on evan and UA so no more hunting till the event ends! still have not made up my mine on which char(s) to next... already got one for my UA and that's all...

Anyway... AS forums enabled the rep points and rep power options... here's how they work. Rep points is something like fame in maple... just an indication of how popular you are... You are up someone's rep by clicking on the weighing scale on the bottom left hand side of their post and selecting the 'I approve' option. You can only give out reps 3 times a day, and you have to give some no. of ppl rep before going back to give rep to the same person. Still no idea how much that number is.

Rep Power comes into play when you increase the rep of other's. How much their rep increases by depends on your rep power. If you have 4 rep power, their rep will increase by 4 correspondingly.

vBulletin lets the admin set how rep power is counted etc... previously i had 30 rep, but than they changed the rules and now i have only 7 rep... here's how rep power and rep points work. Info posted by mod Enstryne in this thread:

Rep Power:

Default New Member Rep Power = 1
Default New Member Rep Points = 50
Every 365 Days (After Joined Date) = +1 Rep Power
Every 1000 Rep Points = +1 Rep Power
Every 10000 Posts = +1 Rep Power

Rep Points and the green blocks

Disabled = Black Rep Block
~0 = Grey Rep Block
1~99 = 1 Rep Block
100~199 = 2 Rep Block

And so on until 1500~ = 11 Rep Block (God Mode)

Mods can change their rep and the rep of others at will so... yeah...

Maple - Crashed!

Found on their facebook page

Dear Maplers, We have been informed of the service disruption to both our official website and SG Gateway. Relevant department are working on resuming both services as soon as possible. We would like to apologize for the unexpected downtime and hope to seek your kind understanding on this matter. Thank you.

Indeed... even the maple forums are down since this morning. I didnt train yest either, heard there were loads of server crashes. There was once when all the sg gateway crashed except for aquila... that didnt last long tho, aquila crashed later on... basically maple is getting unplayable. So much so for me wanting to hit lvl 200 during my sch hols lol... now i'm still quite far away from 199 -.-'''

Nevermind... been having some fun in trickster... shamelessly spent some cash (paid thru paypal) and got myself a 90 day adventurer cape... which i comped with HP... something desperately needed by a 1441 dragon... now i have a neat 7.7k hp XD

Currently at lvl 126/104... wanna hit 3rd job before 5th Oct so i can get the rewards...! 14/16 more lvls to go! gotta prepare all the job change items too... cant wait to hit lvl 170... promised myself the myshop eq set so yeah... motivation for me to reach that lvl i guess! cant wait to max out my dark barrier too, that would help tons with my survivability... ah and i guess i'll be going for gravity crash right after dark barrier... its really a pain to have to kill the mobs slowly one by one... since i'm not into pvp, i think gravity crash would work great to help me take care of those pesky mobs. heck, now i'm even wishing that i had skills like mana ring, or mana storm. gotta lvl more... drill and drill... loads of drilling to do for the quests...!

Maple Pro!

1st, there was urgent server maintenance two days in a row, back to back... than there was server crash and rb...

Apparently the server crashed this morning, 9 mins after the maintenance ended. pro... my friend valuable scrolls cos he was transferring stuff when the server crashed.

Czak just now was even worst than last week. For me i didnt really lag, but a lot of ppl were dc-ing... PLUS there were some batch members that mia zzzzzzzzz tried two times and gosh... it was just... pathetic. like there were so few ppl left at the end of our 2nd attempt... ppl died and wheel or just out right dc-ed till even bs also tio SD. that we even managed to down one arm was quite a feat in itself. i really must thank my thick hp, else i would have died no doubt...

after that sianz... deicded to go lhc train a bit... than what happened? DC! server crash? maybe 20mins pass liao, still cant log in. heck, even the forums are down... trained till 68.60% just now... sian... dunnoe will tio rb till where. worst is that i just transferred my wa glove and shield (and two ancient rings) from my UA to my hero. though just now did relog once before czak... if rb and somehow my items gone than... seriously no need to play liao... zzzzzzzz

at the rate things are going... i really dont know how i'm gonna reach 200... sianz. jp wanted to train at 4+ tmr... was hoping to hit 199 tmr de... starting from tmr they giving out some crap 1.5x exp event somemore... i think that'll make the lag, crashes and rb even worst zzzzzzzz! i was still hoping to train to 200 next week since its my holiday... zzzzzzzz! epic sianz.

forums are up, but maple still cant in... zzzzzzzzzz! pls let my items be there!

EDIT: heng, no roll back... just server crash only... server restart from 1-3am... managed to train a bit just now... hope that tmr i can lvl up!
