I can't seem to think of any other than equipping SCG/FS/PAC a little earlier but that's a bit unnecessary.

Suddenly they're not totally useless in CPQ.

FrozNlite Wrote:Responding to these three at once.

I agree with aslemn that MapleStory certainly appears to be heading down that path, but I disagree with Stereo. We don't have "Equip Shop Surprises" or things of the sort yet that cost 500 NX and, at a 0.1% chance, pop out a Horntail Pendant or a Reverse Lampion. THAT'S what it sounds like Trickster online is like. The difference between GMS and such a gamestyle, then, is that the aspect of probability still dominates. All Nexon keeps doing is giving us more chances and greater odds at rolling the dice: Vicious Hammers allow us to try two more times for higher stats on an item, the exorbitantly priced Vega Scrolls give us a better chance of successfully imbuing our gear with such stats, and Dark Scrolls/White Scrolls/Chaos Scrolls, in and of themselves, increase stats/assurance of rate passage at the cost of your wallet and/or the item itself. No where in there is the 100% assurance of "Godly Items" via the Cash Shop, and so this game is definitely not what others are.

If Nexon was to remove the aspect of probability by selling such gear through the Cash Shop, then the game would be "ruined" to the degree Trickster (and to a lesser extent, Gunbound) has become. As of right now the only "stat equips" you can buy from the Cash Shop are Aura Rings, but to get four you're looking at a 12k NX price tag every three months - all for a rather negligible stat increase for any class, and thus are only used by stat whores and people who need the secondary/tertiary stat boost for equips.

Finally, the section I bolded in the quotes at the end is something I completely agree with, as should anyone. It's basic business procedure, yet the fact we even have the opportunity of the MTS for non-charged NX shows this game does not solely favor NX-card chargers.

IllegallySane Wrote:This about sums up the problem with comparing Maplestory with Trickster Online. I'd agree so too, since I played Trickster up until level 40. So far Maple has not given away guaranteed godly/powerful equipment through Cash Shop, which is what Trickster offered. That ruined the game because no normal person can play PvP in that game without paying money, and I believe PvE to a lesser degree when buying equipment in-game is useless after a certain level.
