The Downfall of PvP In MapleStory | Nostalgia

[@EliaKristian]

this era of maplestory is truly my favorite, i miss those old days.

[@MrFloat777]

I think a lot of people miss the nostalgia and just how happy and carefree their life was in that time. Maple was not better by any stretch of the imagination lol

[@SnaccHBG]

@@MrFloat777 Absolutely, MapleStory was definitely riddled with extremely questionable design choices back then. The game is so much better now, but some people just don't want to see it.

[@joepho123]

Only OG maplers know the true PVP : MONSTER CARNIVAL BABY, bring it back nexon

[@aaronatondo4895]

it was slow AF lvling, but soo much fun, wish they would do that to arcane river maps, no totems or kishin needed back then

[@hiramabal1432]

Jajaja my favorite

[@PeachiiWubs]

Yess bring it! I loved when they wanted to lv and I just flooded them with death and debuffs

[@18Jwan]

waiting till the end to flood them with the lego monsters

[@nirorit]

​​@@aaronatondo4895 monster carnival trading was the best way to lvl...

[@HoloGuise7928]

If I remember correctly Battle Mages and Thunder Breakers ripped us all to shreds as soon as the match started. Never weny back after my second attempt

[@Kyrims]

My friend couldn't believe MS had PvP. I couldn't find a video about it on KZbin from so long ago so thanks Coppersan

[@Kyrims]

I had so much fun with Grand Battle

[@DuxihrXV]

I had so much fun playing battle arena back in the day with my chief bandit. The fact that you didn't need a summoning rock to use shadow partner while in the arena, and you can get so many points by jumping in the middle of a bunch of players fighting while spamming band of thieves, meant that I got top of the leaderboard nearly every match. All that exp from ranking high up every match got me to lvl 120 so much faster than if I trained elsewhere.

[@JohnSmith-jk4zy]

Battle Mage was an absolute warmonger, S-tier pvp class! Was honestly my favorite maplestory memories.

[@KeaneCJK]

I was a BaM back them, can confirm this 🤣😂 You can do dmg and also recover hp at the same time, so damn broken 😶

[@MK_ULTRA420]

I never lost a match as a BaM unless it was against another BaM 🤣

[@williamheng76]

this was actually really fun i miss it

[@dragostorm259]

Pink Bean's music party was the arena's best bgm. Loved it

[@thunderbro7]

That small chunk of time before they added capture the flag was the greatest time for PVP, it was some of the most fun I had in this game, and even after CTF essentially killed it, I still had fun with a small dedicated group of players who liked to do PVP on my server. This is something I miss dearly, not even private servers have even recreated this old pvp mode. I played Aran in this mode, and it was a ton of fun once I got used to the different timing of attacks. I do disagree with there being no strategy however, while classes were very unbalanced, mastering your classes movement skills and figuring out the range of your attacks could make it very hard for most classes to even touch you, while you would also be dealing damage to them at the same time. I recall just about every attack Aran had to have some usage in PVP.

[@zero705]

i had so much fun in this as a bishop, one of the only classes with a crowd control that turned people into snails and you could damage them, HEAL, teleport, the dragon pet, and strong aoes

[@hernalius7630]

I remember demon slayer being super op, it has a buff that inflicts damage on anything that hurts you when you take damage, and it likely had more health than you. Just trying to kill demon slayer was a damage race that you'd probably lose without them doing anything lol

[@diegodepablos1476]

I agree with the homies they should bring monster carnival back!!! Was such a fun way to train and make friends 😊

[@justzach253]

I think the only way they could do a PVP or a monster carnival thing again is if they had template classes for players to do. In the game now where people can have 50,000 main stat it becomes quite unbalancable unless everyone was given the same template baseline for their class so that it was based more on skill then just having 35,000 more main stat than your opponent

[@juusto9000]

I still have really old pvp matches on my channel. Made some of the best maple memories during that time.

[@Bioniclema90]

I remember back when Maple had actual pvp, I did it as an Aran and it was SO HARD trying to do combos, each attack had the most amount of lag ever

[@07Sader]

Maple has been built to revolve around burst DPS, so short CD i-frames and classes with highly defensive skills would steamroll everything. It would be Wondroid JQ-tier rage inducing for many players. But I'd love to see again a Pally guard 20 lines of damage before flattening someone. The alliance between my brother (Pally) and I (Hero) back then in free-for-alls really was more for my safety than his lol.

[@kymotsujason]

I wish they'd repurpose Monster Carnival and make it relevant like MP Extreme. It was so fun to play that I made alts just to keep playing it and I'm sure others did the same.

[@zealous404]

I choked when you said 11 years ago, I can't believe it, I had vivid memories of playing PvP with my spearman with ground smash..

[@OrcaThoughts]

This was when I actually first got into maplestory! That animation at the end would be on the official website, it brought back memories 😮‍💨

[@KevinEF]

Anyone remember discovery arena? That was a more recent pvp event in 2018, although you'd be fighting an AI of the person's team.

[@EDDyume]

Man I still remember the PVP time back when Mechanic first came out. Step 1, run around. Step 2, grab attack power up. Step 3, go to where people are fighting. Step 4, Tank mode. Step 5, Profit.

[@mathewmoreo1758]

I still have that equipment. It was so fun cheesing with freezing. My friend would abuse silence as a bishop with me in team fights which felt so cruel at times.

[@AngelBlood98]

As a crusader shout and magic Crash had insane AoE damage, it was buffed af in pvp and let's not even mention db's 49% Instant kill attack, owl spirit 😂

[@blueb_oy]

This was so cool when it came out. A bit buggy, but man was it fun. Good times.

[@tristinflore]

They need to bring pvp back

[@Apoz]

Honestly the Carnaval PQ was fun too, before it became too easy there were actually 'races' to get the most points. You would try to get a good party with nice balanced classes, only rules were: no picking up stuns etc. Not really PVP, but fun nonetheless

[@HypnoFernandes]

They could make a bosh rush PVP. Players queue for a certain boss, and they run to see who defeats the boss first. The matchmaking could be made through Main Stat points, or something like that.

[@DerpwaldDuck]

Got the full set on my Blaze Wizard xD But yea BaM was the GOAT of PVP! Made one just for it and loved every second of it ^__^

[@XxZackds]

Ohhh i remember all of this, i hope one day some of this pvp modes come back

[@yonik652]

Please upload about Carnival PQ and Ariant PQ

[@srurvnkl]

Idk if its a fever dream but i remember a mechanic in maplestory called follow where you like piggybacked on a persons back? Idk if i am the only one who remembers it i think it was broken for some reason but i dont know any details

[@o2Tenka]

When I saw the title I thought: "Oh yea, we did have PvP!" I totally forgot about it

[@felipedecarvalho4771]

As a Bishop I used to play this just for the chaos of this system 😂

[@JohnSmith-jk4zy]

I always took great pleasure in wrecking giant mechanics with my battle mage. In my headcanon, I was Star Killer shooting purple lightning at giant droids from The Force Unleashed 🤣

[@JoraSly]

Hey coppersan, fan here. unrelated to PVP, but I know you played a blaze wizard post ignition and wanted to know 1 thing. Can you bind their flash-jump AFTER ignition? or are you still forced to double tap the jump key? Thanks in advance :D

[@TrippyGamezToo]

These were the good old days !

[@manumanu3]

This was peak MapleStory for me , it was so damn fun , loved playing bam with joypad, shouts to my pvp buddies Jarpolar , Microbe , Uberlegends !!! Love u all !!

[@SuperFang1]

PVP was the most fun I've ever had in Maple.

[@Laapsap]

I once won as Ice Knight because my character just leveled up and my entire Ice Knight hp bar refilled

[@jmcdermid]

My favorite PvP mode was using my brawler to throw Alishar at low HP classes that irritated me in Ludi PQ.

[@SmexiiWade]

They need to do a team based pvp with role que. I'd also like a pve like Monster Park! Just something to do with a group of people again would be so much fun tbh

[@jeffhe1701]

seeing that windia logo makes my heart hurt

[@jaspaspas]

They should bring back pre big bang richies golden pig event, the one with the n,e,s,w symbols and the crazy xp rates.

[@blazeboy4314]

I member maple story pvp it was so wacky but fun and chill.

[@TheSkyrux]

Monster carnival is probably one of the best experiences I've had in MMO. Best pvp

[@MorrizzTheSoft]

Monster Carnival should return for levels 250+ as a fun way to grind in parties. Honest some of the bestr times of my Pre-BB time were my countless hours leveling in CPQ. Rombots + Speed pl0x

[@traveler8010]

Why did they remove pvp?

[@MK_ULTRA420]

Hackers and Battle Mages

[@mcaso123alt2]

I still have a very specific memory of me waking up during Hurricane Irene where I was the only one in my area with power, servers were deaddd and I made a youtube vlog about it cause that's what 13 year old me did LMAO

[@sukanya90]

Yeah. i remember my I/L mage doing really well here. By utilizing auto target aoe skill + teleport spam, i terrorize all melee class.

[@darrennolan6713]

Chief Bandits were super broken in PvP era. Band of Thieves smacked a full 360 area around the user, also doing quite a lot of damage compared to a lot of the other classes.

[@JAllenProductions]

Duel blades were the gods of PvP soon as you get hit with the scorpion spear, it was over with for you! Good times

[@JohnSmith-jk4zy]

Battle mage definitely rivaled the dual blade at pvp 😎

[@JAllenProductions]

@@JohnSmith-jk4zy Yes sir! The one class that could go toe to toe with my character. Most would just run from us

[@jokermasta8832]

if you where funded, most classes would be able to keep up at high lvl pvp or kill them anyway. At lower lvl's where things are more equal sure. with pot gear all bets are off however. I'll say this though Bishops in pvp where a big meme. fresh meat!!!

[@MK_ULTRA420]

​@@JAllenProductions If an enemy Battle Mage knew how to telecast and you didn't, your best move was to leave the match and enter another one. Dual Blades and Demon Slayers were great at PvP but they weren't Battle Mages.

[@phabejmuas]

I remember PvP being horrendous due to lag with some skills just unwilling to cast. Demon slayer was pretty busted though. Just jump down platforms on top of people and spamming carrion breath lol.

[@JAllenProductions]

Duel blades were the gods of PvP soon as you get hit with the scorpion spear, it was over with for you! Good times

[@batmanninjafilms]

Oh man I miss this so much. I played a Dual Blade and would torture people with Chains of Hell. Good times

[@Shadowslayer2013]

I made friends with opponents in pvp mostly because I kept owning them as a battle mage Truly was an S tier pvp job

[@Toto_Africa_Bless_The_Rain]

Loved the Ice Knight mode

[@Whereismydadhelp]

I didn't even know they removed it, woah

[@jokermasta8832]

I haven't experienced the last years of pvp since I quit by than. but early pvp days where mad fun. especially if you had godly gear at the high lvl's, was fun killing weak to average players easily. as far as the ice knight goes. everyone wanted to be the ice knight from what i remember was mad fun killing players while being one. wasn't that under powered when I played was pretty op and fun. Was a really fun addition it's to bad that they introduced bonus pot and to many classes that I didn't like. plus the game transistioning into a more solo experience. Still pvp was definitely something fun of the newer additions after big bang. Good stuff really. it's to bad that so many changes where added that i didn't like but I will always remember them fun times. great to see a vid about pvp underrated mode in maple if you'd ask me.

[@panlid7724]

with my Aran it was impossible to play it, every 10 seconds it hit

[@xLordGrim]

wow I can't believe I forgot about this

[@gomiko8979]

monster carnival was the OG pvp. With that said, I still think the pvp they released during chaos was a good one. It was fun, it was even more fun if you were an aran, db, or bam. Those spineless plebs, I remember hating them.

[@hikoplays]

the old pvp for my server mardia mainly stopped cause of hackers. it was the number one and only reason it fell off there. also folks would argue carnival and ariant pq were the real pvp

[@dennerrubio8237]

it was very fun, but also very ping reliant, which is kinda sad when you're trying to play it in latin america.

[@SkullArrol]

Imagine Chaos PvP today, you and your Explorer facing off against a bunch of Adeles and Hoyoung hopping around like Quake players. Btw, did they wver fix that Orbis pillar, it was destroyed since PvP came out

[@JELKEK]

Just realized that I have been craving maplestory PvP since 2012…. Wtf!!!

Man db in pvp was stronk af when db first got released in gms

[@LunaPrincessNinjato]

Ah PVP I made a lot of friends there and using a Bishop at the time I made a warrior buddy respect me since I removed Doom to not be cheap and would use Big Bang mostly and look like a battle mage trying to take down a Hero...He got a lot of kills off of me but it was the fact I pushed that class to limits others did not think, One other Bishop would zone with Angel Ray and we would share our views and styles. I still remember the last day well all did one last PVP before they added the other PVP and Star Planet kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoWbeZeXfMiehas It was a fun time. 🤨I nearly forgot about the animation NewLeaf Saga that had an Episode with the baby Mir dragon chasing after a stick and they had a moment of Flag Race since that was a GMS ex. PVP event.

[@Anonymous-mp2ln]

I loved super fight, but lets be honest. It was a completely unbalanced mess. Still fun playing a battle mage, teleporting, slashing, and shooting that gear we no longer have killing anything in a 1v1. Sadly between player skills going full anime and nobody doing content that doesn't level them faster or give them better bossing gear I don't think the modern playerbase would give Maple PvP a chance.

[@cabinmusikslaps]

Nexon will give in to this pq requests from us. They will accept us maplers one day

[@meroku0010]

I still use my 5%ied title "Avenger"

I remember my brother used to play back then it looks fun

[@I-VisiBomb-I]

you forgot how you could duplicate decent skills potentials in pvp.

[@coppersan]

Wait what :O

[@wazaboaa]

Yea I thought that's all it was ever used for haha

[@I-VisiBomb-I]

@@coppersan theres potential lines that gave (or still do, i dont play anymore) "decent" versions of skills, such as haste, speed infusion, sharp eyes and more... using a glitch in the pvp system, you could equip the item that gave the skill, making it so that you had the skill on your beginner skill list, enter a pvp, and then quit the game. when you return to the game you could take off the item, but the skill would remain in your skill tab, and you wouldn't have had to use the item to use the skill anymore. people abused this to sell services for such a glitch. it was fixed some time later, but for quite a while it was a viable source of getting very powerful skills for low prices, such as paying 150m or something for decent sharp eyes and the such. at least thats how i remember it all went, its been like 10 years xD

[@coppersan]

@@I-VisiBomb-I Lol i never knew that!!
