Yeou 🦊 - Alpha and Beyond Information

Disclaimer: I'm just taking info from Yeou's discord server + some things that might be harder to find. Please correct me if I got anything wrong

[Yeou Discord Server](https://discord.com/invite/YeJjSUbf)

I believe most of the excitement for this server is based around the fact that its developers built the client from scratch allowing for maximum compatibility, the best performance possible among maple servers, and all the custom possibilities that could be explored in Yeou's future.

This post was made to consolidate info about the server into one place for potential players, and new ones that don't really want to skim through the text channels.

Class Changes

Important: Balance of skills and game direction will be the focus of Beta phase, so you might not see changes that would be obvious listed here.

Truly Custom

  • 3rd Job Archers get "Disengage" which is essentially backwards flash jump/recoil shot.

Cool, More General Stuff

  • Archers can jump attack smoothly like sins and gunslingers.
  • 'Final Attack' for Warriors and Archers simply adds another damage line that can crit
    • Heaven's hammer won't trigger final attack
    • Some projectiles may visually double up but don't trigger any additional effects
  • Mages have limited jump teleport capability
    • Jump and teleport to platforms above you
    • Teleport up to platforms from ladders/ropes

Warrior

  • Removed the 'Guardian' skill from Dark Knight and added 'Power Stance'

Mage

  • F/P Wizard's 'Fire Arrow' hits 3 enemies

Archer

  • 'Eye of Amazon' has been improved
  • 'Piercing Arrow' has had its power reduced

Thief

  • Lucky Seven and Triple Throw now use the regular claw formula and applies mastery

Pirate

  • Gunslinger's 'Recoil Shot' has a significantly lower delay (enough to spam propel you across henesys, but still feels somewhat awkward)
  • 'Burst Fire' is now a regular skill

Some skills removed and are slated to be, such as Outlaw's Homing Beacon, Holy Symbol, Mortal Blow (what else got removed?)

Some quotes from devs for direction of game (take with a grain of salt!)

" without homogenizing the classes too much, we plan to give bishop more tools to help them stand on their own "

" in the future i would like to implement a system that allows you to equips sets of items all at once / save sets of equips in your equip winodw "

​

Idea: Something like Mario Maker but with MS jump quests, player somehow places platforms / mobs then has to complete their own course for it to be submitted

" actually this is already planned "
" right down to the Mario maker inspiration "
" giving players the option to make their own games, maps, housing and more features from MS2 are all things we have planned "

" the scroll system will be totally reworked and we'll be making leeching less viable as well "

" we don't want to completely discourage playing multiple characters but the amount of things in the game you gain progress on on a per character basis will be much higher so you'll ultimately be better off focusing on a single character "

" we plan to make buffs less useless at lower levels eventually yeah "
