Hi Maplers,

As part of our commitment to transparency, we are introducing a new section after each update to highlight the known issues our team is actively addressing. This section will focus on the major issues that have significantly impacted the game and community. Please note that while we aim to cover the most impactful issues, this list will not encompass every reported issue. Check back regularly for updates on the status of these issues and information on resolved issues, or any new issues that may have been added.

Here you’ll find a list of known and resolved issues from the v.252 GO WEST! Update:

Known Issues:

• Follow-up on Angelic Buster Skin Color Issue.
  • During the maintenance on June 28th, we made a change where the skin color of Angelic Buster's Dress-Up mode would start off the same as Normal mode for newly created Angelic Buster characters. The intention was to unify their skin colors at character creation. However, this change introduced a bug where it appeared that the Dress-Up mode skin color could no longer be changed when using any kind of skin color coupon. This bug has now been fixed after the v252 update. We understand that prior to the fix, some players may have used various skin color coupons on Angelic Buster's Dress-Up mode, including the Rosy or Flushed Skin Color Coupon from the recent Midnight Party event. Therefore, we are planning to redistribute any skin color coupons that were used on Angelic Buster characters after the 6/28 maintenance and before the 7/17 maintenance. These will be distributed in a future maintenance.
• Resolution for Durational Maple Boys Chair Issue
  • We will be distributing the permanent version of the Maple Boys Chair to players who claimed the durational version during the [GO WEST!] Star Queue event. The permanent chairs will be distributed in a future maintenance. 
• Xenon characters unable to claim the Thief version of the 15-star Arcane Umbra Weapon Set Box (Time Restricted).
  • The issue where Xenon characters could not claim the thief weapon from the 15-star Arcane Umbra Weapon in the v.252 patch. We will be redistributing the Arcane Umbra Weapon Box to Xenon players that claimed, but did not use the box in a future maintenance. 
  • Those who redeemed the Pirate weapon and would like the Thief Weapon instead can contact Player Support for an exchange.
• Kanna can equip a shield.
  • An Issue where Kanna could equip shields in the weapon slot is being investigated

Resolved Issues:

• July 19, 2024 (Hotfixes)
  • Fixed an issue where daily Eternal Stones from Pharaoh's Treasure would reset when entering the event again with a character that had not participated yet. 
• July 18, 2024 (Hotfixes)
  • Fixed an issue where Mitra's 3x EXP box from GO WEST! - Star Queue Encore disappears upon usage.

Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work to enhance your gaming experience!

[Update 7/17/2024 at 8:00 PM PDT] The investigation has been completed and we have extended Cash Shop for 6 hours. The following issues have been resolved:

• Resolved issues where Lynn’s ‘Spirit Guide Unity: Paeon’ Paeon buffs were not being activated properly with ‘HEXA Sneak Attack’.
  
• Resolved issues where multiple channels were crashing.
  
• Resolved issues where Luna Petite Pets were revivable with the normal water of life. [Updated 7/17/2024] We will be reverting the duration of the Luna Petite Pets in a future maintenance. 
  

We thank you for your patience throughout this time! 

[Update 7/17/2024 at 6:45 PM PDT] We are actively working on resolving this issue. We will notify you once everything has been confirmed to be fixed and completed. 

Hi Maplers,

We are aware of an ongoing issue with channels crashing. To resolve the issues for affected players, we'll be temporarily shutting the game down. The game servers will be inaccessible until further notice. We will make sure this is resolved as quickly as possible and will provide updates when we can.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused. We will be shutting the game down today, July 17, 2024 at 2:45 PM PDT (5:45 PM EDT/ 11:45 PM CEST/ 7:45 AM AEST July 18). 

Thank you for your cooperation,

The MapleStory Team
 

[Update July 22] The Pharaoh's Treasure can be entered up to 10 times per account, not per character as initially reported. We apologize for the error.

• CEST (UTC +2): Wednesday, July 17, 2024 (After Maintenance) - Wednesday, August 28, 2024 1:59 AM

The Maple Expedition is gearing up for another dungeon crawl, and the mysterious appearance of a pyramid in the middle of the Nihal Desert has sent them looking for the help of adventurers to uncover the secrets of the pyramid and claim the Pharaoh's Treasure!



The magic of the pyramid has a strange effect on those that delve within. Regardless of the equipment you bring, or the skills you have mastered, none of it will help you once you venture inside. Instead, you will need to claim powers from inside the pyramid, and find special relics to help you battle against the increasingly powerful foes you'll encounter within.



Battle your way through the roguelike dungeon and defeat the final boss of each chamber to claim EXP and a wealth of special rewards from your share of the Pharaoh's Treasure!
