Moblin Maze Mongers Manufacture Monstrous New Maze: Adventurers Aghast! (06/01/2010)

[Kimiko]

President Goldagrik and his grammatically-challenged gang of gil-grabbing dungeon delvers are back, this time with a new maze that promises thrills and chills for adventurers the world over!

Intrepid reporters have uncovered a voucher for the newly-formed "Revitalization Team." Nominally established to allow overextended adventurers to let off some steam, it would seem the Moblins' idea of rest and relaxation calls for pitting clients against the most fearsome foes ever to grace their dank and dusty caves.



Fell Formidable Foes: Reap Rich Rewards

Within each Revitalization Team labyrinth awaits the maze master Sadistiq. After giving first-time challengers a "member's card" that will make it possible to record their progress, he will provide a choice of formidable foes which you may pummel to your heart's content to relieve the stress of adventuring and—if all goes well—procure some serious loot in the process.

After choosing your foe, the "relaxation period" will commence. Challengers will have 15 minutes to pound away on their target to the best of their abilities. There will be no pushovers here, so you'll want to cooperate closely with your comrades. Fear not if you cannot fell your foe, however. You may still be eligible for a prize if Sadistiq deems that you have worked off sufficient stress in your attempt.

Still Crueler Challenges Await!
When your time is through, you'll want to show your member's card to Sadistiq once more. Prove your mettle, and you'll be granted the opportunity to take on even more fearsome foes.

An adventurer's life is far from easy. Why not take a few minutes to let off some steam Maze Mongers-style?

I can't wait until the resident 2 people who care about MMM on any given server figure out how to get the best loot from this so I can buy their maze and run it a handful of times until I get what I want and then go back to ignoring MMM unless I'm leveling a sub.

[Kimiko]

Yeah, but basically it's a tiered BCNM-style setup. Could be interesting.

And that's exactly what will happen if anything resembling good gear drops from it.

lol.

Another moblin name I really like.

cue Nobody Cares about Moblin Maze Mongers

[Arcanesoul]

Nobody. Reporting for duty sir!

I'm curious how the tiering will work with the customization.
Two possible things I have in my head are:
1) Scaled progression based on the marble bonus of the runes.
2) Scaled progression based on damage inflicted and taken in addition to all the enfeebles.

I've got a feeling it'll be more like voucher 07 given it's casual content, but would be nice if they actually made the system to reward you for fighting against really horrible mobs.

E.g. Gorib with Thf rune, and Force of Will + some other goodies, or the Funguar, or the little bunny that everyone likes.

Edit: And yes, that freeking entry system for MMM is stupid.... SE do some proper instancing so we're not waiting for half an hour to enter cause we have shitty latency compared to JP's or whoever...

[Baelorn]

Fuck offffffffffffffffffffffff MMM.

maze master Sadistiq

At least they're honest.

[Buffy]

They are aware that what we crave the most is information about the cap increase, sub jobs, and those dynamics, right? Are they taunting us? Good times SE.

[Alkar]

HNMs in MMM. They're getting ready for new BLU spells and crazy Magian trials.

This. Every day I am wondering what info they will release and it is driving me insane.

[Eldelphia]

This. Every day I am wondering what info they will release and it is driving me insane.

Which is exactly why they're holding onto that info. Because it'll keep us interested...

Could be another ZNM/VNM style system, especially as they've both been fairly popular.

[Dooom]

Because if people don't like the info, they'll quit. Watch them wait until payments are processed right before update, and then announce how it'll work.

My less cynical self wants to say it's to prevent pre-emptive actions by people in anticipation of exploiting whatever they bring in, but meh, I feel cynical today.

An even less cynical explanation is that the level-cap stuff is the most highly subject to change even as patch day draws near. If they talk about it too early, some of what they say is likely to change before release.

I know that's happened before, but they still try to avoid it as much as possible.

[arus2001]

lol.

Is it? Seen a few people saying they've quit over the cap increase. I think it's stupid, but whatever, their right to be dipshits.
