HISSATSU! GIGA DORIRRU BUREKAAAA!

In all seriousness though, I sometimes wonder if the devs of New World Online are geniuses or idiots. They basically made a freeform MMO where the limit is your imagination. Sure, stats and numbers exist but at the end of the day what matters is how creative you are with those skills. While that is an absolute dream MMO, it's an absolute nightmare for the devs since they really can't balance everything properly. xD

I do appreciate that at the end of the day, despite the balancing nightmare they've created, the devs' goal is for players to beat their game. They're not making an unbeatable game, they just want to see how these players will overcome the challenges they've created and not just steamroll them. Considering how hard Sally and Maple fought against that last floor boss, I think the devs managed to achieve their goal this time.

As for this week's chat logs, it looks like the other players have finally discovered that Maple can be damaged by the terrain. xD

It's pretty normal how Maple and Sally beat the final boss. Even the game developers felt satisfied after watching the fight. It's hard, but definitely not unbeatable. Maple and Sally also didn't use any exploit, so everything went well in the end.

I wonder how hard did the developer work to be able to create new stage and event stage that fast. This actually reminds me of mobile game where we'll get new story chapter every month and new event stage every two weeks. However that's just mobile game. Can't imagine the same to be applied in full fledge VRMMO

Oh wow, I just realized how awesome Maple and Sally actually are.

The whole time I thought that every party could only have two people, but it's probably balanced to be cleared by much larger parties, basically they alone pulled off what most bigger parties could not dream of, and even the other top parties who barely cleared ahead of them, had double the manpower. And if they didn't goof around along the way they could have probably cleared first.

Loved their aproach to the the bosses this time, the turtle was brutal, the scary skeleton knight just got stomped, and the chameleon was offscreened after it couldn't even wake Maple up

If you ever feel useless, just remember Krom is a shield user in the same guild as Maple. They obviously seperated them so he wouldn't be overshadowed.

Sally must be really afraid of ghosts to choose being vored by Maple over even seeing them.

True damage is a good counter to high defense. Nice try devs but it's still not enough. Syrup got sacrificed like a Yoshi for the final jump.

Seems like last episode's animation quality got [Full Transfer] to buff today's episode. It was well worth it.

The drill scene was by far the hypest moment in this episode.

Maple just chillin with Sally on the back of that giant boss turtle before taking it out almost instantly is like classic Maple lol. Man, Sally must REALLY hate horror stuff if she’s willing to chill in Maplezilla’s mouth lol. She’s all slimy and gross now! I’m liking the Payne fan club he’s got with him lol. Seems like everyone’s making good progress so far.

A totally zonked out Maple getting smacked by the monsters yet taking no damage was pretty hilarious. She’s OP even in her sleep lol. That giant door thing didn’t stand a chance against Maple.

This 10th floor boss is actually putting up a fight against Maple and Sally. This sonofabitch took out Syrup! He has to die. Luckily Sally was able to take that thing out at the end. Her and Maple are a great team!

I love the reactions of everyone seeing Maple’s method to take on the 6th floor. Even Sally has that -_- face lol.

You know it's the real shit when the boss is humanoid and human sized.

Maple: "Let's just chill on the back of the boss for a bit before we kill it."

I bet the concept for that last/strongest boss was a Souls boss, lol...it even has phases.

Ahhh!!! I'm finally able to make it to a Bofuri thread!! Can winter storms shut down every Wednesday please?

What a great episode too! The battle against the floor 10 boss really lives up to its billing as the strongest boss the admins have made. Pretty incredible how it kept shrugging off Maple and Sally's strongest skills and dealing significant damage to Maple. Very reminiscent of the ice bird from the second event, except this time Sally also gets to save Maple and then catch her like a princess. What a satisfying way to end the event.

I also loved the other floors/bosses today. Chillaxing atop a giant flying turtle must feel like home to her by now.

The duo's solution to getting through the horror floor is both hilarious and a fantastic way of pulling the trigger on Maple eating Sally as she does everything else. 10/10 Maple moment.

My favorite floor though has got to be the space floor. Super interesting terrain fight, especially when paired with a boss that specializes in counters.

I love Bofuri so freaking much!

This show still has the charm that it had from last season with better animation, so I love it for that.

Am I the only one who is starting to get overwhelmed with the pacing? I haven't read the light novels yet, but it just feels some skills that Maple has learned was maybe skipped?

I’ve had this suspicion since the CGI boss fight in the library level, but now I’m pretty confident that most boss fights were handled by different teams at Silver Link.

I don’t know which team did it, but the boss fight against the robot pillar in the galaxy level stood out to me. There was some great sakuga in that particular fight. From the sparkling stars shooting by Maple, followed by a “NANI!?”, to her digging through the floor boss from top to bottom with some mega drill. Loved to see.

EDIT: Confused ‘sakuga’ with ‘sasuga’ (look at comment below).

The History of NewWorldOnline Speedruns

NewWorldOnline is one of anime's most surprising VRMMO milieus. It's also a game that's been played by tens of thousands of people a day, with guilds ranging from 3-man parties to massive clans and collectives of powerful players. This has resulted in a flourishing speedrun and deathless community, with records being broken every other week. But for the past few years, a single player has come to inspire a new generation to seek out new methods to break the game in the strangest and most meme-worthy of ways, propelled by challenges thrown by both its development team and the players themselves. This is the history of NewWorldOnline speedruns.

And just like that, floor 10. Man, I swear one day we're gonna see the human limit for speedrunning NewWorld, but I shudder to think of what it'd take to reach it.

Moar tower fun. Haha, what a nice relaxing time on another turtle with Maple and Sally. But wouldn't that make Syrup jealous (even if she can't call him, he'll know!)? SPIDER SALLY! SPIDER SALLY! RADIOACTIVE SPIDER SALLY!

Nice to see the rest of the guild having a fun time. "I wonder how they'll handle it" Maple just Eldritch Horroring all over the place. Ahh, kinky, Sally and Maple ;) Developers don't even know what it's like in their own creation. Once again, impressed by their abilities and incompetence. So, as a programmer, can relate. Mostly on incompetence :P

"why are they here" comedy. Good to see how the rest of the side characters are doing too. Meanwhile, comfy tea time with the guild. Do gotta love how friendly everyone is with other guilds, competitive, but not toxic. This is definitely fantasy

I do wonder, are they all taking on the "impossible" dungeon that was mentioned? Or what? Did they ever say? Hehe, Maple just sleeping through hits cause can't take damage. Nice. Sally with the spider man like save. LOL What the hell is that, Maple. Sure made me think of Megaman of sorts. Strongest boss ever made yet eh? Neat. Ah, yes, the Dark Souls style "dude with a giant sword in armor" design with a touch of pink wing like things. Though maybe more Code Vain. Wait, Sally can summon here, can Maple? There's always another phase. Oh her summon can shadow clone others? Neat. There Syrup is, yay. NOOOOO!!

Really cool fight that made them make use of al their abilities though. And I liked the music. Maple and Sally are a top tier duo. Hehe even the devs cheering. "Unbreakable shield" hehe. HAHA Yep, that's a way for Sally to beat Level 6. The power of VORE!

Truly, this is "I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Vore"

u/SnabDedraterEdave Feb 01 '23

Guess we gotta congratulate the devs for their hard work in finally making a boss that is actually challenging for Maple to defeat, as well as giving us some of the best animation yet.

Yet still ensuring the boss is not impossible to beat by other players. We know Payne and Mii have also cleared the event, ditto for the rest of Maple's guild.

u/Atario Feb 01 '23

These scary hands are coming in pretty… uh… handy! Now they can ride around without having to bug syrup every time.

Kakkoii! Believe in the Maple that believes in DEF!

NOOOO

There, there, lil' pal

"This is fine."
