Hello everyone!

We have a big announcement coming soon. Big! :enraged:
But until then, check out the differences between the real world and the "other place".
Some scenes you'll visit during this twisted adventure!

Due to a popular request from the community, the team has been working on a controller support implementation. We plan to release a patch within this week which will introduce a limited and basic controller support mechanics. This feature will not be final, and it will have limitations such as UI and menu use. We will be working on it furthermore and improving it.

We look forward to your feedback on it as well.

Hello guys and welcome to the DevLog#3! There is still quite a journey ahead of us, but this month was amazingly productive and we were able to accomplish a lot of things regardless. First of all, we added more than 40 different equipment items to the game. If you like fashion, well, we heard helmets that look like pumpkins are trending today. Try it and see for yourself. If you would like to go with a more traditional way, then you can try an iron helmet with a red cape. Whatever you may dream about, we most likely have it.

Each item possesses unique characteristics such as Defense, HP increase, Mana increase etc. Choose wisely - heavy items might provide a lot of HP and defense, but they lack of Mana power, which is so very essential to a young witch!



Some items also have a chance to possess different magic attributes which can do all sorts of interesting things. Certain items will help you in blocking poison and some items will add an additional magic effect to your attacks. For example, one of the newly added items is called Angry Cover. Its unique effect will sporadically counterattack, by blasting enemies who attack you!



The Witch Guild that was introduced in previous updates received a new area called Battle Room. Here you will be able to test your Chimera attacks, your magic, as well as your character build. This dummy in the Battle Room might not look very durable, but he surely can sustain a lot of damage!



We hope you like shopping. We introduced two new shop NPCs that will provide you with all the necessary tools that will help you to survive in a world full of dangerous enemies.

Arcanum Keeper handles all sorts of useful spells and Magic items. So if you need a love potion... Well, he might have one ;)



Banjo the Trader offers some of the best prices in town! There, you will be able to buy general goods such as seeds and all sorts of simple crafting materials and fishing baits for your farm.



What kind of mage you would be if you were not able to increase your power and might and completely weaken your opponents with the power of magic? Different power buffs and debuffs were introduced this month. Boost your Sun Magic and burn your enemies to the ground, unless you encountered one of the epic enemies with whom you won’t stand a chance. In this case, utilize the debuff spell and weaken your enemy in order to get a chance to run away!

Besides simply buffing yourself and weakening your enemies, if you combine your spells with powerups abilities correctly, you can get very interesting results.



The world of Serin Fate grows with each day and its population grows with it. Look at the variety of different Chimera that you can currently encounter in the wild forest and deserts. Each Chimera possesses a unique ability that can help you on your journey.



Besides the world of Chimeras, way too many NPCs kept their silence up to this day. We just added tons of new sounds for them which will bring all interactions with NPCs to a whole new level. Check them out here and let us know what you think!

Oh, and one more thing… Do you remember when we mentioned something about the powerful creatures that you might encounter in the world of Serin Fate? Well, check out his new and powerful ability “Solar Ray”. It's better to have that creature as your ally, rather than an enemy.



We hope you liked this update and you are eager to learn more about the future of the game and the new things it will bring.

I've added a special mode to the Free Game: Mountain of Zen. Select this preset and you'll spawn in a little, mountainous world with no waves. Only a fountain in the center. Oh, and the altitude of buildings does not matter. Just relax by guiding a happy little stream through your mountain village, building little paths for your people and turning everything into a flourishing garden.
Perfect for those short, relaxing sessions after a hard day of work! :D And those who like building paths as much as I do. Because well designed paths are kind of necessary with that many mountains and rivers^^



Oh, and I thought it would be time for a community event, so what about a little screenshot contest? Post a screenshot (or even a video!) of your Mountain of Zen world in the Steam Community Screenshot/Video section and the one/ones (depending on how many people participate) I like the best will get a free Tidal Tribe key to give to a friend :) The deadline is Monday, August 5 2019, 18:00 UTC.

So yeah, hope you enjoy that little mode as much as I did during testing :) And as always: if you find any bugs, you can report them in the discussion boards or the Discord:

Version ID: HX

Fixes & tweaks:
- The game now stores a temporary save file when you save! In case the save file gets corrupted, you now have a backup to save the data. Yay!
- Fixed the game storing sub-second frame timing data improperly; not very important but I guess the game tracks your playtime more accurately now
- Fixed a graphical glitch in an ending-related thing
- Fixed a case where the borders of the levels were considered Empty
- A lot of underlying work for translations
- Fixed a rare bug relating to an endgame conditional word

Adjusted levels:
- Meteor Strike (found in ABC, an unintended solution)
- Triplets (found in Meta, a large unintended solution)
- Rocky Road (found in Forest of Fall, changed Foliage to Rocks to keep the name sensible)
- Hidden Path (found in Meta, covered some words with red herring-like potential)
- Out At Sea (found in Garden, added water that I had removed during development for the name to make some sense)

We sincerely apologize for this launch issue and appreciate you sticking with us through it. We believe we have found the cause of the bug where you join a match, spawn, and are killed by the fog.

If you joined a server that was still in the lobby que you would spawn okay, but if the match had already started, our server backend was failing to close the matchmaking que which would allow players to join in and then die instantly.

In our internal testing this seems to be fixed. If anyone continues to experience this after getting the latest update on Steam please let us know right away.

We also would like to make note that Korean Localization is now in the game and functioning. We fixed the teleporter not working in the tutorial and the bug where you couldn't pick up loot that was previously swapped.

The new Play Wild Update is here! Yay! Update your Play Wild game on Steam and let us know what your favorite part of the new update is!

Star Shift 0.5 has been released!

Star Shift has been updated to version 0.5. Normally we try to update once per month, but it's been about 2 months. This however is a pretty big update. We fixed a lot of bugs, added more character development and story. We also added an army training/equipment system.

Welcome to the very first Tria Tribune! This periodic magazine is our way to open up the world of MapleStory 2, delving into community contests, tips for newer players, interviews with your favorite MapleStory 2 characters and what's been going on in Maple World!


In the latter half of June, Kyrios issued a challenge to the veterans of MapleStory 2: Give newer players a leg up by crafting a guide to one of MapleStory 2's many features. The community came through and then some, creating dozens of guides that you can peruse on the Player Guides forums, including explorations on Awakened Classes, Housing Tips, Mini-Game Guides and more!

Four guides were selected as the best of the best, and you can check them out below!




Synkido from NA West takes on a full, detailed look at everything to do with upgrading and socketing gemstones, so that you can get the most out of your accessories. Take a look at the guide to boost your gemstones!




Cynna from NA East unleashes the fashionista in all of us to go into the many ways you can find new outfits to give your character a unique look. Get your own special look with the Fashionista's Guide today!




Sanitee from NA West took on the first three Guild Raids, explaining the challenges of each raid and the best ways to overcome them for pride, glory and sweet loot. Check out the guide in full and get your guild ready to fight!




And last but not least, Remitar from NA West spins to win with an incredibly in-depth guide to everything you need to know about the Berserker class. Grab the biggest sword you can find and check out the guide to learn how to use it!


Delving into a new dungeon for the first time can be an intimidating experience, even for the most veteran MMORPG player. With the Skilled Ally Update, we added a Dungeon Helper System, to allow newer players to seek out help from those that have been playing MapleStory 2 for a long time and know the dungeons inside and out. If you need a bit of a hand to figure out that dungeon, just click on the "Get Help" button from the Dungeon Directory (default keybind: ';' ).



You can seek out help for any dungeon you have completed less than 10 times, even encounters such as Chaos Raids, Eye of Lapenta, and Cathy Mart! And don't worry about imposing on the veterans, because they get a special set of rewards for lending you a hand!


We here at the Tria Tribune got a special opportunity to catch up with Ophelia!

Tria Tribune: Hello, Ophelia! Thank you for speaking to us, how are y-

Ophelia: How am I? I'm angry, that's what I am! Do you know what they did to me?!

T: Uh, no? Sorry, is something wr-

Ophelia: Do you have any idea how great I had it? Only game in town, complete control of all of the Enchanting, and then somebody had to go and show Peachy how to do the job right!

T: We, uh, we have some questions... are you enjoying any good restauran-

Ophelia: People were praying to me! They were begging me! Now a third of my customers have run off to that pretender and I'm suppose to act like it's no big deal?

T: Well, it was a little unfair-

Ophelia: Unfair?! Who cares about fair? Fair doesn't keep me swimming in Onyx Crystals! I swear, if I ever find this LAMBCOOK I'm going to show him what I really think of his 'New Leaf' cr-

T: WellthankyouverymuchOpheliaI'mafraidthat'sallthetimewehave!
