    Re: MapleStory

    EB, I've never played a Bandit, a Spearman, a Fire Mage, an Ice Mage, a Hunter, or a Page. I guarantee it'd take about 10 minutes to fully master each one.

    Having one character is enough to teach you tricks about another. I learned jump-shooting on my crossbowman from my Priest. I learned how and when to PKB from playing a Fighter in beta. Everything else was pretty much discovered from playing it. HOWEVER! I didn't even play it until it was level 35. And I'm still did just fine.

      Re: MapleStory

      You see, that's my point.

      Yeah, there may be a VERY minimal amount of skill to play this, but there's a very minimal amount of skill needed to do nearly everything in life, so therefore it is disregarded. Of course there are better ways to do things, like there are in everything. Hell, turning on a light with a switch is more efficient than turning it on from the lamp itself, but does that make it a skill? Of course not. Is it knowledge which may not be blatantly obvious to someone who has never used a light or electricity in general before? Of course it is.

        It actually might be a little harder to play 3rd job characters. I admit, some classes are relatively easy, but others it does take some degree of skill to play well.

        Like all warriors are easy **** until you get to 3rd job. I think DK's take the least skill to play, because you don't really worry about avoiding damage, cause you're gonna take it anyway. But when you have a WK, you plan your charge blows so that you can control things while killing others. I think saders would be hard as hell, because 1. the don't KB consistently most of the time 2. They have imperfect stun and 3. Once they release their finisher it's back to low non-KB damage. I saw a vid of a higher level sader using his whole skill book essentially, roaring at pirates to stun a mob on the left, charging 5 orbs while killing on the right, releasing coma to stun what's left on the right, going back to the left and roaring + charge + coma to finish them, coming back to the right (where the pirates were still stunned) charging orbs and finishing it with coma. Killed about 8 duals, without taking a single hit. That's hard as **** to do.

          Still, using 7 skills or so isnt very difficult, an hour or two would definitely be enough to use the skills very well; maybe not perfect like that sader but its still not very hard to be pretty decent.

            Well, if we have Private Servers with 1,000x experience, we'll soon find out how hard it is to use a character you have no experience in using.

              Re: MapleStory

              Is this private server something that has a certain number of members? I wouldn't mind seeing it in action.

              Oh, and I'd also like someone to reinvite my character (pfff) to xqsite.

              I fixed my eyes.

                Re: MapleStory

                Try playing a ranger. Try playing a hermit. It's hard as hell. I tried my friend's hermit and it was HARD AS HELL. Seriously. I sucked... I couldn't get drain down and I couldn't control FJ very easily. Jumpshooting is a lot different and a lot... more challenging. Back jumpshooting and dodging as a hermit is much harder then it looks, I have to admit. Rangers are not easy either. Have you played one Tosh/Squeek? I'm sure Noah can speak on this part. Placing puppet in smart places, rain, inferno, luring, bomb. jump shooting, getting the right equips to use at certain places (I have speed, jump, and dex equips that I change to a LOT). Don't say that doesn't take skill. Fire mages have to telecast constantly to dodge and it is a lot harder then it looks, especially on bigger things. Ice mages have to make sure to deal with KB later on to avoid damage (ie. facing different directions, spear, seal, etc.) Add in elements of 4th job and that takes even more patience and skill. Even preists need some form of skill (SRing in between heals, dispel, responsibility in boss fights, etc.) Sure you may be able to LEARN how to do it semi-effecitvely but you won't master it for a long long time. I am still not perfect at using puppet, and I've had it for almost 15 levels.

                And, I haven't been able to play any form of maple for a long time because of a lot of schoolwork. I've been really busy with family and friends too so I should be able to get playing again in a week or two. Add HotAsIce on Sakura server if you play JMS. He's level.. 17 I think. Soon to be Ice/Lit mage. Yeeeeeeeee

                Oh and Tosh, if you are going to neglect to read anyone's posts, you don't have to POST about it. It makes you look even more ignorant. It's just a blatant slap in the face. And if you can say you honestly don't care what people think of you on the forums, don't even become defensive. Being defensive means you care about your reputation or some other personal reason, which means you DO care about what others think of you. So cut the crap. I was fine with you but it's getting to the point where I can't really tolerate it anymore. And I don't care if you read this whole thing actually because I really doubt you will. Go ahead and post about it and just prove my point.

                  Re: MapleStory

                  How could I? Like 1/25 people on Scania are archers, and an even smaller percent were hunters. And nobody is willing to share accounts.

                  I only played my account and my friends' accounts. They had 4x accounts, so I didn't get much. One had a 4x spearman, the other was a 4x page.

                  And it's not like anyone has the patience to make 13 level 70 characters. And it's not like level 70 is even an accurate depiction of the third job. Try level 100. Only one person I know is dedicated enough to level THREE CHARACTERS to 120. And he's on his fourth.

                      Re: MapleStory

                      Hey guys. The people who play in the xqsite guild on Bera are here, aren't they? Would anyone know if I could get an invitation to the guild or something? I'm a level 32 page, although I think Iaaw told me that he got in a much lower level. My character's name is 'Morinphen.' Thanks

                          Every single server I've ever seen had rates around 30x.

                          But yeah, if you can make your own server, let's do something around 100x. Don't make it FAR too easy, considering we'll want to play for more than a day or two before quitting.

                          I have, and I certainly would not call it "hard".
