Visitors
Note: This event has ended and you may no longer earn the OSSS-4 Driver's License or receive alien gear.
Stage 1
The Visitors is an event that is currently only in GMS. It is about aliens invading Maple World and is currently only in stage 1.
To begin the event quests you must walk around for a bit, and then you will go into a dark area with a phone NPC talking to you. Click OK and get teleported to Henesys. You will then talk to the phone once again. The person on the other end of the line will hang up after telling you to call 0555. Talk to the phone again to call him back, and he says that he is Dr. Bing and that you should meet his friend, Dirty Bum (NPC). He will give you some easy questions to answer as a quiz. After that, you must go to the man-hole cover "???" NPC and press the up arrow key.
Talk to the researcher then talk to the machine, and click OK. You will now be in a machine and you will have to make sure that the aliens don't kill the researcher.
Once you make it there you will have to go in the 2nd portal and talk to Dr Bing. Talk to Randall in the main office and complete his missions, including collecting stuff from specific areas, collecting from normal monsters, and defensive. When you've finished all 6 quests talk to Dr. Bing and he will give you a medal (honor badge). Get 7 medals and you will earn an OSSS-4 (spacecraft) Driver's License in your Use inventory which will allow you to use a special Monster Riding type of skill good for 2 weeks from the time you activate it.
Stage 2
The time machine has been completed, and you must go to the future for the energy source, Crystanol, in order to power the weaponized suit which Dr. Bing has created to fight off the aliens.
1.) After having talked to Dr. Bing and helped to create the time machine, click on the time machine and travel to the future. Talk to the NPC you first encounter, then dodge/hide from the aliens by running behind the bushes to get to the building where you'll find the Crystanol.
2.) Talk to the NPC inside the building, jump up and strike the device at the top to clean the dust off, then jump down and talk to the NPC again. You can now go through the gate to get to the Crystanol.
3.) Jump to the top of the room where you'll find the Crystanol and chip off a piece before the timer runs out.
4.) Dodge the aliens outside the building again to get back to the first NPC you met in the future, talk to him, then head back to the present. If the aliens catch you, you'll have to go back to the beginning and get more Crystanol.
5.) Talk to Dr. Bing to complete the quest and receive the Bing Machine Alpha gear.
6.) Talk to the NPCs next door to Dr. Bing to receive new quests including clearing PQs, faming a fellow player, and a repeatable 4-part quest that involves fighting off the aliens outside.
Rewards: For completing each of the quests, you will receive OSSS medals (not to be confused with Dr. Bing's Honor Badges). which can be used to buy upgrades for your Bing Machine Alpha gear. Once upgraded, the gear will look like the armor that the aliens are wearing. The type of upgrades you choose will determine what type of Visitor gear your suit will look like.
- STR upgrade will cause the gear to look golden like Powerful Visitors
- DEX upgrade will cause the gear to look orange like Dextrous Visitors
- INT upgrade will cause the gear to look silver like Wise Visitors
- LUK upgrade will cause the gear to look black like Lucky Visitors
- Other upgrades will not affect the look of the gear.
The color/type of your gear may change multiple times if you add more of certain kinds of upgrades later.
Stage 3
The mothership has been taken down and can be entered in order to fight more powerful aliens and earn more medals.
You are tasked to run a Party Quest under three different levels (Easy: Lv 30, Medium: Lv 60, and Hard: Lv 120). The Visitor Armor MUST be equipped in the Medium and Hard levels. You have two hours to complete the entire thing, and five minutes to clear a room. If you die, you will be sent back to the beginning (excluding Easy, whereas you get sent back to the room you died in).
Note that the maze will randomize every run.
Dimensional Cube: There are six Axe Visitors and six Gunner visitors in three different floors and two dimensions. One of the duos will drop a bomb, which must be avoided by staying a far distance, otherwise, it will deal extreme damage (nearly 4k). Dimensions can be entered to avoid and kill the other aliens.
Production Cube: Numerous aliens will spawn. Stand ground and kill them.
Energy Cube: There are numerous Assassin and Cleric visitors. Kill them as they fly quickly. Otherwise, the lights go out, and an energy core will be released. The energy core must be defeated once in order to turn the lights back on to kill the rest of the visitors. Take note that the core can only be damaged by normal attacks, not skills.
Proliferation Cube: Several visitors, including a Bully Visitor, will spawn. The Bully spawns three times and has several Brawler abilities, including increasing it's avoidability.
Choice Cube: There are three different statues of Assassin Visitors. One of them will clear the room, and the other two will spawn other visitors.
Renewal Cube: Several visitors, including a Unjust Visitor, will spawn. The Unjust is a Blaze Wizard and can even use Damage Absorb.
Prohibited Cube: Three Speedy Visitors will spawn, utilizing fast and Bow Master-like abilities.
Control Cube: Each party member must utilize the platforms and avoid the lasers and energy balls, and stand ground on the top for five seconds.
Destroyer Cube: Mid-boss. A Destroyer Visitor will use Aran abilities.
Commander Cube: Mid-boss. A Destroyer Visitor will use Evan abilities.
Representative Cube: The last cube. The Ultimate Visitor will appear firing beams. He has two forms, though the second one is no threat. After defeating the first form, it may drop the visitor Representative Machine, which is it's chair. It heals 50 HP and MP per 10 seconds.
Stage 4
After defeating the Ultimate Visitor, you learn that it is actually a 50-year-later Dr. Bing. He explains that the Visitors are all 50-year-later Maplers and the present day Maplers attacked the Visitors. The reason why he wears the suit is because of a radiation effect on the Maple World in his time. Dr. Bing admits he ruined the future because of the Time Machine, going a day ahead to collect Crystanol fragments which destroyed the Maple World.
In order to make up for these incidents, you must go back in time to disrupt four missions Randall gave you back in Stage 1, involving disarming the OS equipment on the said mission (equip the Bing/Visitor suit to attack them. Beware they do very high damage). Afterwards, the Future Dr. Bing tasks to visit the Present Dr. Bing, who is in the Omega Sector Command Center, who would have no memory of you.
Visiting the Present Dr. Bing, he states that he is too busy to even deal with a time machine, but strangely, feels that you've met. Anyway, he gives you the "Time Traveler" medal, consisting of 10 of both weapon and magic attack. All the attacks upon the Visitors are now over, but the downed Mothership remains. Has the future of Maplestory been repaired...?
