    Yeah, Trojans are pretty weak anyway. And if I recall, outside of doing a quest or two, there's not much reason to fight them a whole lot.

    Holy Shield is alright but doesn't last long regardless. Like you said about Infinity "let's [you] not use pots for a short while", HShield just let's you not use dispel for a while and SLIGHTLY increases killing speed of party as well as you and your party's survival.
    Yeah, but Dispel is annoying to worry about. And the stupid people in my party have a habit of SOMEHOW missing my Dispel, so after everyone gets hit by Seal lightning, I dispel, yet somehow there is still 1 person in my party Sealed.

    But only slight over a small level. At HT for example, only one spot where HShield is useful.
    I've never even been to Horntail, so that didn't barely enter my mind. Really just thinking of how useful it'd be at Zakum compared to my other potential skills.

    You'd be surprised at how many people get Mana Reflect. Haha so stupid... Just another thing to cast. So not worth the time or points.
    At like 180, it's worth having, I'm sure, if only due to having "spare" SPs. Oh, and I got level 1 Mana Reflect just to have it, and like, I know it's only level 1, but it's still apparent that it sucks.

    So yeah in short, get AR.
    Even though it's not truly all that useful? It won't really help me at Skele (I might even try to down them one at a time just because I can if I could, which would lead to me killing more slowly), and even though it'd help me deal greater damage to Zakum, no one really cares about that (ironically, myself included).

    lmfao ... banned on SW because some teenage girl makes a biased list and I point out the bias in it. Amazing. Worst forums in existance.
    That's ok, my last ban I got for telling someone from Vent that they should pick their friends better if they don't like being hated for it. That was a "flame", apparently.

    Nope. No one plays anymore. Nexon went out of business because everyone quit.
    I never tried a private server and don't plan on it because they look incredibly boring.
    It's like playing MapleStory minus any feeling of accomplishment.

    uh

    Enjoy getting to endgame within a day and quitting due to having done everything.

    That's not the point of the game. Think: what would you do if you had a fully equipped level 200 character? You'd do a few boss runs, then quit because you no longer have any reason to play.

    The point of the game is to have fun. Playing with super high exp rates makes it so you play less hours, translating to less fun total. And if you don't think the game is fun UNLESS you get 50 levels per hour of grinding, then you're playing the wrong game (heck, you're playing the wrong GENRE of game).

      Re: MapleStory

      People have different reasons for playing games, Afro.

      My entire goal with MapleStory was to get 4th jobs with all 13 classes. I accomplished that goal. I have no reason to play MapleStory anymore.

        I disagree with your sentiment, O Squeek. If you're playing a game for a reason besides "to have fun" then you're doing it wrong.

            Re: MapleStory

            So you're saying everyone who plays MapleStory is playing to have fun, right?

            What about meso farmers?

            And Maple was never about having "fun" for me. It was about killing time and chatting with e-friends.

              No, I'm saying that if you're not having fun, then you're playing for the wrong reason. Games are supposed to be fun.

              What about meso farmers?
              Totally different since they're not really playing the game. And if there are meso farmers who there who ACTUALLY play, then, again, I point you to the "you're doing it wrong" part.

              And Maple was never about having "fun" for me. It was about killing time and chatting with e-friends.
              You don't consider chatting with friends to be fun?

                That's just a messaging client other than AIM, MSN, etc. Half the time I logged onto Maple, it wasn't to play. It was to talk. I bet a lot of people here are the same way.

                  Re: MapleStory

                  That's why I continue to play. It's an interactive IM program... haha And I've enjoyed being in the highest level community. Course, I still have fun. I switch about training, get better equips, do different things.... Lately I've enjoyed chatting on IM programs and doing things on the net instead of sitting in game.

                  I've said a number of times that if the game didn't have the ability to make different faces, I would have quit long ago. It helps the interactive chatting. xD

                  Afro, I suggested AR because you said you'd have fun with it. So get it.

                    Got to 70 in a day. There are no level 200 characters in Local yet. Local is 80x now, not 1000x like when Squeek played. My priest is like 142 now. I'm just farming Himes to fund my dexless DK.

                    And playing with higher rates doesn't mean you'll play less. It just means you'll get farther with the same amount of playing, which I find to be awesome. I'd rather hit 120 in a week and start doing boss runs, rather than spending months trying to get there. Also, Local plans to have a reborn system, so hitting 200 isn't the end anymore.

                    MapleStory was fun, but it was also tedious. I got bored of spending hours to level up. Now I get to enjoy the game, without the constant grinding. I can grind for a little while, gain a level, then do whatever I want.

                    I'm not looking for a sense of accomplishment from MapleStory. I don't see how you can. "Yes, I've spent countless hours of my life on an MMORPG."

                      If I wanted to play an MMO for fun, it wouldn't be Maple Story. Maple Story was just a chat tool with things to do while chatting.

                          I quit maple around level 77 because it was too time consuming...
                          So what is this you say about private servers?

                            It's actually 90x now. They upped it a few weeks ago after their huge ****ups.

                            What's your IGN on there?

                              Okay, so that person on the forum was right about 90x.. oops.

                              Anyways, Necamus is the priest (14x), DeusBelli is the spearman (5x.. need more ACC equips =\).
