Kalovale Wrote:GMS have not and will not deviate from KMS original content. I don't know what you mean by the lack of authority to make changes. Has their attempt to look genuinely contributing to our interest actually worked? You yourself know that the whole Mechanics bit was smellier than cow dunk. I really can't wrap my mind around giving them the benefit of the doubt, as if they ever had the intention to do us any good.

I personally prefer Hime's bullpomegranate. At least it is entertaining to mock her ignorance from time to time. Eurydice seems to have been hired specifically to write these blogs, not to develop the game and be earnest with us.

Viaje Wrote:For me, it's not an issue of them "genuinely contributing to our interest"; it's an issue of them attempting to genuinely bring some stability and balance to their game. Those are two entirely different issues.
Balancing the game works in their favor, believe it or not.

Choosing not to accuse without evidence isn't giving them the benefit of the doubt; it's just being fair.

Kalovale Wrote:It depends. Drinking milk is good for your health, but it costs money. Is it worth it? For every dollar you spend on milk, how much health will you gain?

Kalovale Wrote:Actually balancing the game would require brain power and labor, which cost money. Why waste money when they can just copy KMS content and appear to give a pineapple? And then, better yet, claim it their own sweat and blood?

Viaje Wrote:But let's see more of that hate!

Viaje Wrote:Obviously, they think it's worth their effort seeing as the continually attempt to do so.

Kalovale Wrote:Can you not infer something properly before dismissing it as irrelevant?
Attempting to do something and exerting efforts to do it properly are two entirely different things. One comes at a cost, the other comes at a lesser one.

donovan Wrote:The way the blog is written makes it seems like the Developers actually developed Chaos and participated in the actual conception of Chaos, but in truth they just took someone else work and translated it, that's not to say their work isn't needed, but they shouldn't be claiming so much is from their own hard work.

Viaje Wrote:In addition, as I said, we have absolutely no solid idea of how Maplestory's development process works nor how the different branches interact. Thus, we don't know who is included in the 'we' on whose behalf he is speaking.

octopusprime Wrote:Yes, yes we do.

Viaje Wrote:Can you present an appropriate metaphor?
I extrapolated the meaning of your analogy just fine, thanks.
It was dismissed because it was irrelevant, not because I automatically concluded it would be so.

Keep in mind that it's generally more costly to have to do something again than it is to do it once.

Viaje Wrote:Obviously, they think it's worth their effort seeing as the continually attempt to do so.

Kalovale Wrote:False.
Drinking milk is an ongoing effort and so is balancing classes.
Why is this so, you might ask. I've already pointed out something you didn't "extrapolate just fine", perhaps I'll let you do the honor.

Kalovale Wrote:From how I see it, MapleStory dev team has never had the intention of achieving nor maintaining the balance among their classes.
This:

is no better an assumption than anybody else's, yet is projected off as absolute truth.

Viaje Wrote:One inherent problem with your metaphor is that drinking milk is not a singular method to achieve the health benefits it provides; it's an alternative.
There are all sorts of other ways to gain the same benefits.
The same isn't true of balancing classes; there's only one way to put classes on equal footing.

Viaje Wrote:They wouldn't do it if they didn't think it was worth the effort.
That's not an assumption; it's business.
