Re: MapleStory

Umm...Wikihow told me how to hack MapleStory to make my guy lv 99 or whatever the cap would be...do these people get caught then ip banned or somthing?

Re: MapleStory

If you make yourself the level cap, well, I want to see you ingame. I'll reward you with millions of mesos.

If you mean levelling up yourself with a hack such as a vac, well, some of them get banned. In fact, a lot of them do. Even if you're smart about it and never get seen, there's still a chance if you rank up too fast :/

Re: MapleStory

Afro: My problem is that it makes mages useless. Bishops have everything mages have and more, pretty much. Pretty ****ing sad, since I've spent so long on my mage and will get so little but then Hevioso passed me without effort and will get so much. =(

In the end, though, the Genesis vs Meteo/Blizzard problem is a small issue I have with all of 4th job. Infinity is damn near worthless (worst duration/cooldown ratio ever). Reflection is damn near worthless (it should work like Power Guard and reduce damage but doesn't at all). Fire/Ice Demon are worthless (they shouldn't cancel out weaknesses, they don't work with our main attacks in 4th job). The summons take forever to attack. And there's even more stuff wrong with non-mages that pisses me off, too. It's embarrassing how badly they've half-asses 4th job. =\

Re: MapleStory

I know I'm really hypocritical to say this, and I can't even do this myself, but try not to base your character's class on others. I mean hey, we're "equal".

Okay, no we're not, but it really isn't that bad.

It doesn't make you guys useless.

All it means is that for you to outdamage a Bishop, you'll need to spam your AoE just as much as they spam it. Honestly, the SLIGHT difference in pot cost of mage and bishop shouldn't be a factor... by choosing to max amp, you actively decided to use up 2x MP for a damage boost. And I don't blame you one bit, since every day I wish my Priest had amp, but I don't think you have any right to complain about how your skill costs a little bit more mesos to spam.

And don't think Priests don't have their own share of trouble, either. Look at things from my end. You can 2hk any monster in the game. You can deal more dps than any other class. You have a good AoE with decent range. You have booster and amp to kick it up a notch.

That said, once again, I really don't think the problem is that Bishops can spam it for cheaper than mages, but that BOTH MAGICIANS can SPAM IT PERIOD.

ps Tosh is right. Comparing yourself to other classes can only lead to you being disappointed about the shortcomings of your own class, even though the class you may idolize has it's own shortcomings. That is, except for hermit/sin who seem to only have the shortcoming of "costs a lot of money to fund well".

Someone told me 4th job was coming out in two patches. =OOOooooooooo

Yes, I'm so sure.

That would explain why we already have World Tour maps and both parts of Leafre.

Oh wait, we don't.

Re: MapleStory

Chris, I'm not so mad that bishops get a totally overpowered skill, I'm mad that Nexon totally botched 4th job. Things were pretty balanced in 3rd job, I think, but 4th job is just too ridiculously imbalanced. There are so many things wrong with it, it's sad. I wish I worked for Nexon because 4th job would be much better. -___-

PS: Check out what I did last night LOL:











It can actually do over 5k, but it also dips into the low 3000s cuz of crap mastery. The fun thing is that now I can do that much damage to Cakes, since they're poison-weak. XD

And oddly, I wasn't wanting to put points in, but now that I've started I want to max it ASAP. Hopefully this gets me playing more... =O

PPS: Now I have enough MP to cast max Meteo. That didn't take long!

EDIT: Just did the math for fun, and if I get level 1 Meteo at 121 like I was planning, I'll be able to do 22,946 ~ 29,894 to 15 fire-weak monsters at once, for the low low cost of 4200 MP. D= If I maxed it at level 130, though, I'd be doing 43,967 ~ 56,799, just shy of enough to 1hk Grims. But level 1 would nearly be 2-hitting them anyway (especially if you take into account that I'll hopefully have a zhelm + pyogo by then), so why max it at all? I'll be leaving it at level 1 for a looong time.

I also just did some math on compo, and when I max it it'll only be 315~414 matk stronger than FA. =\

Re: MapleStory

ps guys balance is irrelevant because there is no pvp in maplestory

get over it

Re: MapleStory

Squeek, although I said otherwise a couple posts up, I'll be realistic and say that it doesn't seem fair that you can build your character near-perfectly and still be overpowered and outlevelled by someone of another class who screwed up.

Re: MapleStory

Welcome to MapleStory.

Oops, Assassins do way too much damage. Oops, so do Dragon Knights. Oops, Clerics level too fast.

Oh, and every other class pretty much sucks.

The game has been imbalanced from Day 1, folks. If you ever decide to take a poll on the number of people per class, I guarantee you'll find that Assassins and Spearmen are the top two. By far.

Regarding the Bishop skill: where were you two years ago? With MP Eater and MP regen, along with low costs of Heal, Clerics haven't used MP since the beginning of time. Ever since level 35 or so, my Cleric never used an MP potion in training.

Re: MapleStory

Yeah, but it wouldn't have to stay that way.

Yeah I especially liked that people 30 levels below me could deal more damage than me. I loved it so much, I decided to not even get an attack skill just so that those newbs can deal so much more damage even though my build isn't far from excellent.

Oh wait. That's not true. I hated being outdamaged by level 50s when I was level 80. And now that my SR is nearly maxed, I splooge myself everytime I cast it.

The classes are not balanced at all. Leveling speed isn't TOO FAR out of balance, but certain classes can deal much higher damage than other classes.

Re: MapleStory

Clerics could always hit more monsters for more damage than us per second :/

Re: MapleStory

Heal has 30% mastery, only hits 5 enemies tops, does weaker damage for every additional enemy hit, and does comparatively weak damage even for max damage.

Maybe you're thinking of lit.

EDIT: ps

OH SHOOT I FORGOT TO EQUIP MY 2 INT SAUNA OH WELL YOU GET THE POINT
