** When taking the ship between Orbis and Victoria Island in either direction there is a 50% chance two Crimson Balrogs will show up and kill everyone on the ship (unless at least one person onboard is around level 100 or higher, which is around the level the Balrogs are at, and able to defeat them or if you spend the trip safely inside the cabin), making you go back to where you were. However, there’s also a safe zone inside the ship, which is where everyone would hang out anyways.
** To get to Crimsonwood Keep, or just to the training maps before it, one has to go through two maps where a monster that does 10k or so damage randomly spawns. After that one has to do a jump quest which involves dodging giant totem poles that will OHKO you if you touch them. When one gets to Lower Ascent and the next few maps it's possible to fall off the map, forcing you to do the second part of the jump quest again.
** This game just loves to spawn monsters right where you're standing. This is especially frustrating as a Mechanic since the mech has no knockback and can block out quite a few enemy sprites. You suddenly take damage for no apparent reason until you move or the enemy comes into view.
** When you're trying to fight a mob one by one, your character either locks on one mook you hit first, regardless of where it is as long as it is within your attack range, while ignoring other mooks which are about to [[CollisionDamage crash]] onto you, or locks on random mooks in the mob, usually the furthest ones, even after you hit the one on your face, [[RunningGag while ignoring other mooks which are about to crash onto you]]. This is why multi-target attacks/[[HerdHittingAttack crowd control]] are extremely useful, and Wizet indeed seems to acknowledge this by giving most new classes some crowd control skills; when you can smack multiple mooks at once, it doesn't really matter which ones are almost out of reach and which ones [[OverusedRunningGag are about to crash onto you]].

** Most jump quests. You have to jump onto several platforms with pixel-perfect accuracy. Miss, and you fall down, losing half your progress if you're lucky and having to start all over otherwise. Oh, and there are hazards that inflict minimal damage, but the knockback will really hurt. They're so bad that players have practically given up on the game because of it.

** In general the game has strayed far from the original exploration aspect since it was released, with many areas completely bypassed because the level grind from 1-200 can be done in only a few combined hours and with the frequent Burning events which offer triple speed leveling, this compresses the time down to very minimal gameplay. There is no reason to bother with low-level quests because simply killing enemies is faster. Mid-range level quests may not even offer enough reward to bother doing them. Most monster maps can be avoided because they became unnecessary. Once players reach level 200 they will likely focus on the Scrapyard and Arcane River areas, leaving the rest of the game alone. Nexon removed the Kritias area as players weren't going there(which was Nexon's fault as the maps there lacked the "burning field" bonus experience that nearly all maps level ranged 100+ have). While some players complained about the removal of the Singapore region, due to the ghost ship area being a popular training spot, there were enough alternative spots that it didn't really affect level progression whatsoever.
*** In other words, the game right now past level 200 is comparable to the original version of the game, as that is where the real grind, story and exploration are now.

** Black Heaven Act 5: [[spoiler: When One-Eye tells you the story of how he and Three-Hands escaped from a group of other "defective" robots (as in, those labeled defective by Gelimer because they were developing emotion) who were set to be destroyed doing so with the help of one who didn't escape. It's pretty sad.]]
** Black Heaven Act 6: [[spoiler: Lotus has broken free from Gelimer's control, reunited with his sister and has found reason to continue living on in his human body. However, Gelimer decides that Suu has [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]] and kills him in Orcid's arms.]]
** Heroes of Maple Act 4: [[spoiler: Demon has to destroy the spirits of his ancestors possessing his brother's sword, or they'll just find another host and the whole fiasco will start over again. However, destroying the spirit also means that Damien dies as well. Demon goes through with the act and is last seen carrying off his brothers corpse with tears in his eyes.]]
** In the Strange Stories event, one of the three stories features Edward, a snow child, the child of a snow spirit and a human. Unfortunately, he has the ability to transform into a Yeti whenever he gets a bit emotional, and while transformed, he has gone on a rampage on a certain village, which causes the villagers to be hostile toward Edward and want to get rid of him. Only Bitsie, the daughter of the village chief, wants to help Edward, whom she sees as her friend. [[spoiler: Three of the four endings to this story are bad endings, since Edward doesn't get a happy life.]]
*** If you choose to help the villagers and fuel their suspicions, [[spoiler: Bitsie decides to run away with Edward to a place where he won't be persecuted.]]
*** If you choose to help Bitsie but go against her in the end, [[spoiler: Edward decides that he can't live as a human, so he goes out to live with the Yetis and knows that he will become less and less human.]]
*** If you choose to help the villagers but defend Bitsie at one point, [[spoiler: Edward will ultimately die in the snow. As if the villagers' callousness weren't enough to break your heart, Edward accepts his fate quite tragically and lies down on the snow, and you (the player, not the character) get to watch him be completely covered and covered by snow, while nobody else knows where he has gone.]]
--->'''Edward''': [[spoiler:I was born in the snow... I guess it's only fitting that I return to it in the end...]]

* MostAnnoyingSound: In Japanese ''Maple Story'', if you successfully inflict a debuff with a Flare/Sphere Glaive, or using a certain pet equip's special debuff ability, a very annoying sound is played. It gets worse in huge boss parties when everyone has it.

* GoodBadTranslation:
** At places in English version. One of the most outrageous ones is the case of Horny Mushrooms in the European version. Originally "Horny Mushrooms" in Global (mushrooms with horns.), they were changed into "Horn-shape mushrooms". And no, no typo there. However, they renamed them "Horny Mushroom" in Europe too, but forgot to rename the ETC-drop, which is still called "Horn-shape Mushroom Cap". Also, they couldn't decide how to translate the Knights of Cygnus; SEA and Global have different names for them and Europe (which takes most of stuff straight from Global) uses SEA names.
** And the [[UnfortunateNames "Wind Breaker"]] class, as mentioned above.
** There is a quest given by The Rememberer that requires you to kill a certain number of Horny Mushrooms. It's called "Raging Horny Mushrooms."
** Zero's entire quest line is full of spelling and grammatical mistakes that persist even into 2018.

** Black Mage: With four phases, and an arcane requirement of '''1320''', the only way to do normal damage to him is level cap ''all six'' Arcane Symbols (which can easily take nearly a year of dailies for some of them) On top of that, all four phases can inflict a cure of creation and a curse of darkness. Getting hit by both curses doesn't damage you directly, but instead immediately removes one of the player's revives.

* ArcFatigue: The entire Temple of Time questline. It wouldn't be bad to go out and kill 333 monsters, only if it wasn't required to kill 333 of ''every'' monster in the temple to progress from map to map. You can bypass this with a teleport rock, but if you don't have any real life money to spend or aren't in an event period offering one, you're out of luck. It gets worse once you realize you ''have'' to do this to get access to Pink Bean and complete the Silent Crusade questline, not to mention [[spoiler: the quest that tells you who [[ChekhovsGunman Kao]] is.]]

* ContinuityLockOut: Began to rear its head in later updates; certain dungeon questlines (such as Kerning Mall and Mushroom Castle) were updated to be about ''after'' their previous iterations (i.e about what happened after Blake rose to stardom, the focus of the original questline), meaning that unless the player was present for the years before then, they won't get much of the context of the current incarnation.
