About creating KoreaMS Patch info page
Hi Prod. I think that it would be good if the Latest KoreaMS Patch info is in StrategyWiki. I can translate it to English. How do you think about it? Or maybe the latest patch information for every version? - Wkkim9292 22:45, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

Congratulations
on getting a job. Not something i'm looking forward to, but hey. :p IsaacGS 22:04, 9 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm jealous, i always wanted a dual monitor setup. I was playing with an installation of linux and it asked me if i had a quintuple monitor setup. O_o IsaacGS 22:28, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

D2
The only thing that crosses over is the link on Act IV to go to the Act V page, noted as expansion only. When you click the link you'll be placed on a d2 lod page with the lod AGN. So, am I missing the point or is there actually something wrong? --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 19:42, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm not really sure how to do what you're thinking, so if you could help me that would be greeeeat. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 20:07, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

Cleanup
I misidentified it when i was roaming through JMS's data. It's interesting that they have the PvP board though, that would imply they have Yuyuan. IsaacGS 19:58, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

 * I was working on the Archers page and all of the skill build links are messed up. I don't know how it works so I'd like it if you looked at it. O_O IsaacGS 21:44, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

Thanks. However, the differences, both in gameplay and even the levels are fundamentally different. I would suggest a move for console and PC, because that's where the differences lie.  bibliomaniac 1  5  22:25, 16 April 2007 (CDT)


 * If you look at the Prima's official guide for Nightfire, you'll see that they devote different sections to console and PC. The console has more weapons and levels, while the PC is heavily abridged (the console intro level was cut, along with driving scenes and other scenes that could have made the game a whole lot better). Most of the weapons are shared, but some have different looks, alternate fires, and types while others aren't even there. The problem with most guides I read for the PC Nightfire is that they assume that the console and PC versions are the same, which is very much false.  bibliomaniac 1  5  17:39, 17 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Sure. Are you going to create subpages, or just regular sections?  bibliomaniac 1  5  19:46, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

SW's popularity
Apparently a WHOLE LOT of people on MapleStory are using our guide now. People stop me regularly in game and say, "Hey, i saw you on Strategywiki!" XD I'm famous now, i guess. :P IsaacGS 16:02, 20 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Funny, why doesn't anyone tell me that? After all my name is StrategyWiki :P Ryan SchmidtTalk - Contribs fully apologizes to Prod for intruding upon his talk page
 * Ryan, its more of an open forum... I think having you respond is definitely beneficial and if it was truly private there would be some sort of viewing restrictions... Even if it was sarcasm or whatever =)--Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 19:31, 20 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Probably because my picture's in half the screenshots. :P IsaacGS 20:51, 20 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Heh, nice! According to this MS is the main guide on StrategyWiki as well :D. -- Prod (Talk) 11:42, 21 April 2007 (CDT)

Template:MapleStory/Monster
Some people have said they're looking for other factors and info about the monsters, like Avoid and such. Being an archer i've never need to worry about my accuracy or the monster's avoidability, but for some jobs that's a big deal. The difference between hitting and missing for a warrior can be one point in the avoid area. What do you think about adding Avoid to the monster's stats? Another stat of interest might be Knockback, the amount of damage required to make a monster flinch. I'm not sure how to go about adding it to the template without messing things up. IsaacGS 12:59, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
 * All of those stat data are in the .wz so it's not a problem. It'll take a while to go through and update the templates but it shouldn't be that bad. Low level monsters almost always have knockbacks of 1. For some monsters that's what makes them unique, like Jr. Necki. JMS exp, eh, so far the guide is for every version, despite the fact that it's in english. On the other hand, it could simply be stated on the main monster page that JMS has a 1.25 native exp Boost. I'll leave it up to you as to whether to remove it or leave it. Unfortunately for a number of monsters, particularly ones not released in Global yet, the EXP listed is actually for JMS. it may be a bit confusing. IsaacGS 13:30, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
 * The advantage of this is we've got monsters they don't, in addition to the fact that they're severely backlogged at the moment. I'm not talking about adding in all the stats like WDEF/MDEF/WATK/MATK, just avoid and maybe KB. Avoid can help warriors and others plan how much accuracy they'll need when an area is expected to come out. IsaacGS 13:47, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Best order, to me, seems to go like this:


 * Name
 * Attributes (Undead, Boss, etc.)
 * Level
 * HP
 * MP
 * Avoid
 * KB
 * EXP
 * the down side of this is it'll change the template now so that the EXP will become the avoid and we'd have to go through moving it down. IsaacGS 14:12, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I guess so, as long as we note, maybe at the top of each page, that JMS has higher EXP rates. I gotta go now so i guess we can finish this later. IsaacGS 14:21, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
