thanks for the chapter

The Legends of Terror begin here. The almighty guild of weirdos has been formed.

He becomes a one health hero, endure is the name of his game. Maple Tree is more or less known as the game's most broken guild in one way or another. They either have broken stats, broken items, broken skills, or a mix of the above.

@SuperOniichan No, I just appreciate it. They're just unproblematic and I need more of that.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@NinjaGoemon It's just hard for me to imagine what could be problematic between girls in such an innocent and fluffy work.

 

[NinjaGoemon]

@SuperOniichan It's less this work and more an appreciation that it's not in this work at all. When other manga have the drama llamas these two are just like "whatever makes you happy : )" and it gives me the serotonin.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@NinjaGoemon I do not know if you ship them or just enjoy their friendly interaction, but if it gives you joy, then really, why not?

@Goldenzeal They considered lifting objects and such but the only things that are 100% willing to accept any specific effect on them are players and their pets. Pets were included in the previous event but put in IMPOSSIBLE area's by their standards the thought being 'if they can get it they earned it' and Maple got the less op pet from the devs own commentary....... but they apparently didn't test the idea of psychokinesis on pets because it'd generally be unimportant, the pets right now are all tiny critters and they might have considered it low priority because there weren't too much they could get up to. But then she put together a skill that makes the pet gigantic with psychokinesis that should cost mana unless cast on a completely unresistant target and now has a infinite flight platform of poison death. If she tried the same thing with say....her great shield it might work but it'd cost her mana every second and maple doesn't have the mana pool to maintain that for any length of time due to her absurdly low mana pool.

Hell they MIGHT have actually expected some wizard to put out like a metal disc or something and start flying through the sky on it in a limited fashion. Basically combat only limited flight, instead they got a defense monster who can fly infinitely on her tank platform while raining hydra venom.

Generally speaking the things maple pulls that aren't tested make some degree of sense. It's one specific combo of skills or attributes of the game that takes it from innocuous to broken. The eater skill is inoffensive in its original iteration. Blocking all attacks with your mouth is absurd and the area of your mouth is small resulting in low damage. Combining it with a great shield was unexpected and shattered the game balance so they patched it so she can't just infinitely consume the world. Then this trick requires a ABSURDLY rare pet creature, a skill to make the pet bigger, and psychokinesis.....and then on top of that requires a range skill so its not just a conveyance method. They let her just keep this one because this is where the devs basically go '......fuck it. Maple is selling units as a unofficial mascot. Let her be and just try to make it harder for her to exceed in events.' and for one other reason

Spoiler

The next area in the game that they are releasing makes flying conveyances available to people through quests and cash. So they kinda just filed it under 'she'd get there shortly anyway she just earned it early through the event'.

This is a nice take on the dangers of playing VRMMOs, blurring the line between in-game and IRL.

I call it the Flying Atrocity Turtle.

page order is whack?

 

[TheGodEmperor]

Oh maple, you still such a cutie and I love you

 

[Qelix]

Did someone else guess the guild name correctly?

Maple re-adjusting to reality reminds me of having to re-adjust to normal time flow after playing SUPERHOT

 

[Goldenzeal]

@Chaeden

all great points and a perfect example of why balancing and game design can be hard as fuck.
And if it was only that it might have been fine.
But its not, and that is not fine.

Also it does not change the fact that the skill itself is fundamentally flawed if the minimum mana cost is 0 as it makes so menny potentionally exploits possible.
if the mana cost hits 0 just because the creature or item don't resist, then that opens the doors for quite a lot of abuse even if your spoiler is true.

your post was a great read tho :>

 

[moel]

That guild name is sooooooooo excellent!!!!

 

[Kettern]

Why am I getting Fairy Tail vibes from this chapter XD

I love this manga but I really think Sally should have been the guild master. And while I like Maple (my cat has the same name!) I don't think its right to call the guild after her. And it doesn't make sense with her personality, she would have chosen some thing that can encompass everyone rather than naming it after herself. Another thing is that I really don't think the shield guy and blacksmith girl would have joined since they would have their own groups and speciality. Plus that kiddie looking character doesn't fit in considering they don't actually know each other. The only one I agree with is the katana girl.

That aside I liked how the author showed Maple having trouble adjusting to reality and her actually taking time away from the game to recover. That was a nice touch.

Sally is badass as ever. Love her.

Thanks for the update!!
