Update (Jun 27): New Known Issue: Players at Lv. 50 and above are prompted to to purchase an unimaged Milestone Style Pack. This package contains 5 Style Crates, and can be purchased once for 300 Blue Merets.
The last four weeks of MapleStory 2: Awakening have been filled with excitement, and for the month of July we're following up with new additions to make your adventures with your friends in Maple World all the better! Join up with your guildmates for two new challenging Guild Raids and hit the dance floor to face off against other guilds with Guild Dance Dance Stop every week!
Guild Dance Dance Stop
Dance Dance Stop is one of MapleStory 2's best mini-games, and you can now take on other guilds to determine who's the best at Dance Dance Stop!
Note: Test image, tile numbers not representative of final versionGuild Dance Dance Stop functions a bit differently from the normal variety you know and love. The goal is for your guild to have more players left on the floor at the end of each round than your opponent, and the best of five rounds wins the match. The tricky part is that you're sharing the floor with the other team, sharing the squares with them... and it would be such a shame if you hopped off the square with six opponents on it at the last second, wouldn't it?
Guild Dance Dance Stop will be available at
every Saturday at 7:00 PM local server time, and your guild will be able to participate in as many matches as they can for the following two hours. Your guild will earn
Guild Coins,
Guild Funds and
Guild Experience for playing, with a much greater share going to the winning team. Get your guild together, plan your strategy and dance the night away every week!
Guild Dance Dance Stop Details:
- Guild Dance Dance Stop will be added to the game. Guilds compete in a competitive dance-off on the disco floor, with the winner bringing in a big influx of guild cash.
- This event occurs every Saturday at 7:00 PM local server time for 2 hours:
- NA West (PDT, UTC -7): 7:00 PM PDT / 2:00 AM Sunday UTC
- NA East (EDT, UTC -4): 7:00 PM EDT / 11:00 PM UTC
- South America (BRT, UTC -3): 7:00 PM BRT / 10:00 PM UTC
- Europe (CEST, UTC +2): 7:00 PM CEST / 5:00 PM UTC
- Oceania (AEST, UTC +10): 7:00 PM AEDT / 9:00 AM UTC
- UTC times are currently planned to remain the same for all servers, even after Daylight Saving Time begins and ends.
- Guilds may queue up at the designated time to play as many games as they can for the duration of the event.
- Players can enter the match up to 90 seconds after the first player has entered in a successful queue.
- Guilds must have a minimum of 10 players participating in each round, up to a maximum of 30 players. If a guild has less than 10 players participating during a round, it is disqualified.
- In the event one team is disqualified due to a lack of members and the other team has more than 10 members, then the team with more than 10 members will automatically win and receive the “loser’s reward”. The disqualified team gets nothing.
- Automatic matchmaking will try to match guilds with similar amounts of online players to each other.
- There is no system that evens out the playing field. Bring as many of your comrades as the stage can fit!
- If your guild has more than 30 players in the instance, the game will randomly select 30 to place in the stage.
- In a best of 5 rounds, the objective is to have more surviving members on the dance floor than the other team.
- When the timer hits 0, whichever guild has more players on the dance floor wins the point.
- In the event of a draw, neither team gets the point.
- Unlike the normal Dance Dance Stop there are a few changes to make it more streamlined for a GvG setting:
- The amount of time each round takes is the same, and does not gradually decrease.
- Tiles with especially high numbers have been removed.
- Putting up the barrier takes 0.5 seconds (normally 0.2 seconds).
- Putting down the barrier takes 1 second (normally 3 seconds).
- You can activate a barrier if you and your guildmates matched tile's number when a tile was 2 or higher. However, if an enemy guild's player is on the tile, you can't activate a barrier.
- Upon winning or losing a match, your guild will be awarded an appropriate amount of guild funds as well as guild coins for every member depending on the level of your guild.
New Guild Raids
With the first phase of the Skybound Expansion back in December, we unveiled a new set of challenges for guilds to undertake: Guild Raids! These special dungeons focus on difficult, coordination-centric contest, and with the Guilded Glory Update we've added a pair of new Guild Raids for you to take on!
L4: Ice Beast's Den
Ice Beast's Den is the new L4 Guild Raid, where you and your fellow guildmates must push through sections of precision jumping and careful climbing before taking on groups of monsters. But while the fearsome Ice Beast is a foe to truly dread, it's the whipping cold around you that seeks to hurt you the most.
At least the Override Control: Climate Control will protect you for a time, because dodging attacks or holding onto the wall is hard to do when you're frozen solid! This device will cost you 30 Guild Coins from Marianne in your Guild House, and can be purchased up to 30 times per week... but it will only last you for two minutes, so either stock up well or watch out below!
L5: The Eternal Arena
Once you're finished with the Ice Beast's Den, you'll be able to enter the L5 Guild Raid, the
Eternal Arena! Two mighty minotaurs wielding massive mauls await you within, the mighty Hemos and Pamos, ready to crush you and your guild together!
The "only" thing you need to do to win is take down both massive monsters, but the brothers are fearsome when they fight next to each other, and they might not go down so easily if they can see their kin still fighting. You have only five minutes to win, so don't waste a moment!
Guild Raid L4/L5 Details:
- In L4: Ice Beast’s Den, you’ll have to equip yourself with an Override Code: Climate Control from Marianne in your Guild House for 30 Guild Coins (weekly stock of 30) in order to brave the frigid chills. Navigating through the dangerous and icy trespass will put you face to face with a familiar yet chilly foe.
- Clearing L4 grants you:
- Epic Armor Attribute Lock Scroll (expires end of next month after obtaining)
- Guild Funds
- 175 Guild Coins
- A chance to obtain the Noble Exemplar Crown (Tradeable) headgear outfit
- In L5: Eternal Arena, you’ll be put face-to-face with two massive foes. Pick them apart and take them down together to conquer this challenge.
- Clearing L5 grants you:
- Epic Accessory Attribute Lock Scroll (expires end of next month after obtaining)
- Epic Armor Attribute Lock Scroll (expires end of next month after obtaining)
- Guild Funds
- 275 Guild Coins
- A chance to obtain the Noble Exemplar Throne emote (Tradeable)
