Hey everyone! I'm Bunned.

Self-proclaimed professional Star Catcher in @MaplestoryU 😄

Excited to be part of the community! I'll be lurking around, sharing my adventures, discoveries, and experiences along the way.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hey everyone!

Lately, I've been spending a lot of time playing Legend Returns. It's a PvP mode where your mechanics and decision-making make all the difference.

My friend @ReallyBunned absolutely loves this mode, so we play together every now and then. There are a lot of incredibly skilled players, and sometimes we get completely outplayed. 😅

That said, I'm pretty confident in my own mechanics, so I've been maintaining a decent win rate.

I've also heard a rumor that the players ranked #1, #2, and #3 are actually the same person. If that's true, their skill level is absolutely insane, haha.

Have you tried Legend Returns yet? I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot. Right now, you can even earn Gold Rich Coins as rewards!

A nice QoL update would be to remove Life Coins altogether and simply increase the price of the weekly flames.

@rono_msu @MaplestoryU I tried the level 248 mobs too and they were lower than the 246 ones

[Bunned | MSU @ReallyBunned]

I'm 247 but it seems that Mirror-touched Sea 5 (246 mobs) gives me more EXP compared to Mirror-touched Sea 7 (247 mobs)

Am I hallucinating or is this a known feature / bug?

@MaplestoryU

[Bunned | MSU @ReallyBunned]

@klirphyy @MaplestoryU yea why not

[Bunned | MSU @ReallyBunned]

Everyone's expecting Extreme Lotus / Chaos Slime for the Aug 20 update.

Would be hilarious if it ends up being Extreme Rainbow Pierre with 10 different colours, or grandma with 8 arms + bind / knockback resistance.

I'd swipe for this 😈

@MapleHell @MaplestoryU We need more players for this game 😅

[Bunned | MSU @ReallyBunned]

I honestly can’t remember the last time I did a PQ in @MaplestoryU.

The number of Neophyte equipment items being minted every day has always puzzled me, so I did a quick random check. The very first account I looked at already appeared to be a PQ farming bot, with around 370m NESO in lifetime trading volume, entirely from sales with no purchases.

If that activity is automated, imagine how much value these accounts are extracting in total.

I’m sure there are still legitimate players doing PQ for early progression, or even just for fun. Benefit of the doubt 😅

But if the feature is now largely overrun by bot extractors that continually damage the ecosystem, temporarily disabling it may be better than leaving it open. It could then be re-released once proper prevention measures are in place.

@zznoelzzz @MaplestoryU yea we can only allow 2nd job skills 😅

This also got us thinking about how differently this might have played out before Boss Essence was introduced.

Previously, you could still receive the rewards while floating in the map before the death timer removed you, which gave parties a small buffer for unusual situations like a clear and party wipe happening almost simultaneously.

Boss Essence was introduced for a good reason - to preserve boss rewards and prevent them from being spread across too many characters.

But it also seems to have removed that small buffer, creating rare edge cases where the party has no opportunity to react or leave before losing access to the rewards.

Hopefully situations like this can be considered, both for our run and as a possible edge case to address in the future.

Still can’t believe this was how our day ended 😭

We spent almost the entire day practising for this moment, only for it to somehow feel like both an achievement and a failure at the exact same time.

Equal parts proud and devastated. Given the circumstances, it would honestly mean so much if the MSU team could still consider granting us the rewards. 🙏

Big shoutout to the team for pushing through Hard Will today and securing a Top 5 worldwide server clear! 🏆

Full Party Roster: HazelBun (@ReallyBunned), Rono (@rono_msu), 0xiceice (@1ceiceice1), FifiBB (Me), TrickBladez (@TrickBladezMSU), Ante

We had a super close call right at <0.5% HP where 2 party members went down right as the final blow landed and couldn't claim loot. Submitted a support ticket to see if a manual review is possible.

Hope the team can take a look! 🙏

This is a nice table! Though in some cases it may represent class popularity rather than actual dojo efficiency.

e.g. Buccs may seem weaker than Bishops according to the numbers, but taking CP + Levels into consideration, Bishops will need to be 20 - 30% higher in CP just to achieve the same outcome.

[Rono @rono_msu]

I got a reply.
They say the third line was STR: 9% 🤣🤣🤣
They also don’t acknowledge the Smithy bug.
No apology either.

I really spent over a year in a place like this?
That’s honestly scary.

[Bunned | MSU @ReallyBunned]

@choconu_ LFG!!

[Bunned | MSU @ReallyBunned]

The Legends Return! S2 drops tomorrow, so naturally I waited until the last possible moment to post my feedback 😅

I’m genuinely excited. For me, it’s been MSU’s most engaging and replayable multiplayer side activity with friends and the wider community.

A few hopes for S2: 🧵

@MaplestoryU #MSU #MaplestoryN

[MapleStory Universe @MaplestoryU]

D-3. Four new events are about to begin 🍄

✦ Hasty Hunting
✦ The Legends Return
✦ Hyper Sweep with M-Forcer
✦ Dance with Spirits

Tag your Maple frens and pick your first event! 👇

[Bunned | MSU @ReallyBunned]

I know this is extremely late, and a minigame may not be the team’s highest priority.

I’m sharing because I genuinely loved The Legends Return and think it could become lasting social content for MSU, not just something people revisit during an event.

Really excited for S2 either way 🙏

[Bunned | MSU @ReallyBunned]

Most top S1 players appeared to leave once the event ended, with awarded Power Crystals later sold through enhancement services.

Maybe ranking eligibility could include in-game milestones, or S2 could have separate boards for active Maplers and dedicated veterans.
