Hi, I have an idea to suggest and is to add a Fury /Wild Totem to the game.
The totem will cost at least 5 VP/700-1000 Regular Coins/400-600 Elite Coin/100 DP.
What the totem does is increase the amount of monsters (like Kishin) by 50% (Fury Totem [Red&White]).

or the Wild Totem (Blue&Cyan) [increase the amount of monsters by 40% and max mob appearance by 50%].

I am also in support of the addition of these totems to the game in general, as I believe that it may address or alleviate the following issues:
  • Alleviate the "2-pc meta" .
  • Reduce the occurrence of players getting banned due to missing the lie-detector test on their kanna mules.*
The NX and meso rates with the totem effect up definitely has to be adjusted just like that when Kishin is active, such as Gredstinue had pointed out above. Of course the acquisition of these totems will also have to be carefully balanced, and my suggestion is that maybe players could spend their Reward Points earned from bossing on them in the Cash Shop since the removal of violet cubes from the CS.

However, I think that we must also take into consideration the state of the Kishin service economy if totems were to be introduced, as many new players use this as a method to earn a nice amount of starting cash when new to the server. Therefore, the over-accessibility of totems may destroy this market and cause newer players to lose a potential source of income.

*While I understand that players who were banned due to not paying attention to their kanna mules logged onto other devices are in the wrong as it violates the ToS, I do believe that we have lost honest and loyal players due to this, who may have had no malicious intent on "Botting" but were banned due to their circumstances classified as such.

Addition:
Was talking to a friend, and maybe making totems completely untradeable as well as limiting the quantity purchased per week would make it so that kishin service or totem service would still be in demand and relevant.

The quality and quantity of kish svc sellers has dropped a lot. During my time of day I sometimes don't find anybody that is selling.
And if I do find someone, they randomly go AFK, leaving me alone in a map without kishin afterall.
I'm not going to risk a ban á la Naked/CM by kishin for myself with a second computer/laptop.
This is a make-or-break suggestion for me that should definitely be added for Revelry p3.
Without sounding too dramatic, I will take a break from AriesMS, if totems don't get added with P3, until they do get added.

i have some comment and suggestion:
1. Fury/Wild totem effect shouldnt stack with Kishin effect if really to add.
2. Fury/Wild totem effect debuff should same as Kishin effect if really to add. (NX/Meso/Drop reduce to 50%)
3. Fury/Wild totem should add to RP/VP, but only 2 hrs to use.
4. Please not add to Regular Coin / Elite Coin shop, and DP shop.

Quoting someone on the server's discord #:


"Approved!"

Jokes aside, the addition of said items is arguably necessary.

1. There are many GMS viable training maps (especially the very late game ones like in Tenebris (Moonbridge & Limina)) , but aren't viable in Aries because of the non-accessibility of these totems. To simply put, there are many viable maps, both low and high levels, that are impossible to use a kishin mule because there's no safe platform. The current aries' best map is ecoral4, and people are getting sick of it after training there for countless hours. With these totems, it can inspire late game players to train even more in new maps and help new players progress in term of their legion board & link skills. Furthermore, to help new players make some early fund by S> totems cast.

2. To use a kishin mule to train at aries' viable maps (ecrilla, echicken, earc & ecoral4), having a high chair (usually 7th-11th snowflake chair) is almost a must. And these chairs are very rare, so if a player is using their mule to kish with one of these chairs, then the mule got perm banned because of the ingame security mechanics, both the mule and the chair will be gone permanently.

Hello Guys! I want to say my thought regarding to Suzushiro post here! (Please forgive me if i'm saying something that i shouldn't mention in here)

First, I want to say thank you to Suzushiro for making this suggestion! From my perspective, your idea is really great, since these items will surely help players progress better than before!

Second, as Tobi stated above, i can confirm that he was right! When i found someone who sell kishin service in the game, they ended up going AFK after only like a few minutes of service and then he apalogized to me afterwards... he said, he was busy, so he forgot to use the kishin for me ( i know how he feels, so i said it's okay ). My point is, providing Fury or Wild totems in the games will surely help to solve this problem from the players who does not use 2 PC's or Laptops to play Aries Maplestory (including myself).

Lastly, i want to say, that playing Aries Maplestory is really fun ( This is the only PC online game that i have been playing up until now ), so actually it kinda hurt to see people saying that Aries Maplestory is a bad game and boring just because of "kishin" dependant for faster training. My friend had already quit from AMS, because he say, this game mobbing is kinda suck without using kishin (when training for levelling up).....like me, he only used 1 laptop to play, so he decided to quit for real (at least for now, he did say to me he will consider to play this game again when there's a thing that will have the same function as kishin).....My point is, i really hope that Aries Maplestory staff add these totems to the game, so more people will be more motivated to play this game.

Well, i think thats all i can say for now. I really hope this suggestion will be approved!

Have a great day to you all!
Thank you~

The server's system is almost obsolete because there is no Totem, which players can control their own farming time. For example, when you have prepared everything x2, Rune, MVP... but you are dependent on Kishin and no one sells, then the feeling of farming will be lost. Even though the Totem suggestion was listed in the "don't recommend" section from the server opening

Per the latest Maple Memo released here, I think this suggestion needs to be considered now more than ever. The spawn boost will be completely removed in the summer update and replaced with a small exp buff. Once this change is made, I think a lot of players will completely give up on leveling to get closer to 300 unless a change is made to compensate for kishin.

As stated in earlier posts, I would also like to echo the point of alleviating the 2 PC meta even if the server decides to retain kishin's spawn buff against the direction of GMS. I'm sure that I'm not the only one that has an old laptop lying around that can use it for a kishin mule but for me personally, my laptop is really old and using it to self-kishin becomes cumbersome with the lag and makes me not want to do the grind.

If totems do get implemented, I'd say that I would be okay with gating it behind some achievements or some sort of stat if the concern is to prevent it from being abused by botters(?). Would also be okay with a tiny penalty to the spawn speed if that means I don't have to boot up my laggy laptop.

GMS?
Just want to point out that Aries' Kishin is a unique skill already and doesn't follow all the GMS updates...so it doesn't guarantee that the GMS changes to Kishin will follow through to Aries

GMS?
I can't speak for the GMs...but I think it's under consideration, which is why totems haven't been added yet. I think the reliance on 2PC meta and B> kishin to level, while seems like a bad thing for those who can't afford it...it's also a very good and easy way for early game players to still make some income. Which has been a hard part of the game with some changes and less players doing MP or FPQ or leeching

At the minimum at least consider wild totems like in reboot.
On reboot it's 1,800 rp in cash shop, 2 hour duration, only 15 purchasable/month.

We need this suggestion now more than ever. They should make Fury Totems widely accessible with vote points or rp. This would certainly help with the "two PC" meta as well. It'd be amazing to have Frenzy Totem available as well for vote point exchange or dp, too. These totems would be beneficial to grinding, dailies (would be amazing if we could spawn these in chuchupq), and a good addition to the game. Regular spawn rate is a joke and it's hard to train without these fine additions. Instead, we rely on kanna service that is pretty much defunct. Why rely on someone to train when these items can do the job perfectly and go towards funding the server and the longevity of it as well?

Wild and Fury Totems will now be added with the upcoming V234 Patch. More information regarding the addition of these totems can be found here.

Accepted.
