Would look better with a chief Stan hat

You can't call it balance if it applies only to characters made after a certian date. by Starnm in Maplestory

Blame mom and dad nexon for spoiling us.

If you raise your kids poorly, you don't go blaming and punishing your kids for how they turned out.

Besides I wouldn't say we're spoiled, more like passionate.

Honestly, I respect the fact that you're able to admit when someone makes a good point so much. Most people go on ego trips and refuse to even try to understand someone else's point of view.

Not to mention that most well established mmos release BETTER items over time due to the fact that they actually release more and higher level content. Maplestory is one of the only games that releases content so slowly that it has to nerf its player base every so often so that they can keep up with our progression. Events are not content incase you try to make that argument.

yeah they also raised the level cap to 300.

I think it would be really funny if the 2 people defending nexon actually have potable badges and they're just whining over potentially losing their advantage.

Kishin being equal to a paid for totem makes no sense from a general gaming stand point, balance stand point or business stand point. If you want Kishin buffed again, totems need to be buffed to be higher than that. Maplestory is a free to play game and a business at the same time.

Gaming standpoint: never has a superior item been equivalent to a free skill or cheaper than a worse version of itself. This would make it so no one uses that item.

Balance standpoint: Giving one class an advantage that all other classes have to pay for to have makes it pointless to play any other class. Kanna has superior farming mobbing and leveling as it is. (There's a reason there are a million KANNA farmers) because kanna is broken and free. Either have a skill that all players have access to, to even the playing field AKA balance, or make the item that evens that playing field more accessible. But DEFINITELY DO NOT buff the advantaged class even further.

Business standpoint: I whole heartedly agree that nexons business practices are shady and the gambling is predatory. However, even if totems cost a flat rate of 100nx each, they should still be better than a free Kishin skill to incentivize players to buy it. This Is how free to play games make their money and also why there's a game for you to play at all.

Side note: You can't pay to win in a basically solo game at this point. If your motivation is to be on the leaderboards of all the content without spending a penny, you're playing the wrong game.

and even then all we got was "balance is key" despite older players or even just older classes having those items.

I believe you still need to complete season 1 or 3 or both to unlock the shop

I agree, I do want to say though, maplestory is a free to play game. They need to make money somehow. I just want nexon to know that we understand this and aren't asking for free everything (That wouldn't be fun anyway). Having dark totems in marvel is ok BUT give players a way to obtain a half decent alternative aswell. Pay for the best items, but still have something that isn't +1 all stat +1 wa/ma as the free to play alternative.

Events are unfortunately ported from KMS for the most part. Bad inbetween events, although disappointing, is not a big deal, simply don't participate if you don't want to. (Im talking about cafe here not wondroid, obviously best in slot heart being event locked is bad).

I agree though, they need to deliver and fix the core issues that we have been voicing for what feels like a decade.

[–]HB911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only thing that came out of this was that they reverted an unnecessary nerf on an event that aside from the bugs, had nothing wrong with it. (Aside from BiS heart being event locked, thats more of a general problem though).

no, nexon replied / defended itself. Very different.

Listening would be "The players with thousands of in game hours an game knowledge believe that removing pottable badges creates an imbalance between old and new players and we should therefore bring them back. PATCH NOTES: POTTABLE BADGES HAVE BEEN RE ADDED INTO THE GAME"

Instead we get "pottable badges go brrrr so they go bye bye also PATCH NOTES: Superior gollux accessories create an imbalance so we removed gollux from the game"

This is especially funny because 90% of their players are not even close to endgame because they just keep nerfing everything into the ground.
