Elemental Weapon Update for Ascension?

Now that Ascension has been confirmed to be released this month bringing new interest to the mage class, I think
we can finally get enough attention to two current problems with the elemental weapons:

Elemental Weapon Glitch


This has been around for more than 6 months...

http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php...efixid=GMS


Wands and Staffs affected by the error:

Elemental Wand 6
Elemental Wand 8
Elemental Staff 2
Elemental Staff 4
Elemental Staff 6
Elemental Staff 7
Elemental Staff 8

What does this mean?

The mentioned weapon's % bonus effects are reversed.

Example: Elemental Staff 6 is currently 10% Fire/ 5% Poison when it should be 10% Poison/ 5% Fire.

Elemental Weapon Name and Description Change

Tried this last year but it didn't go anywhere due to the lack of interest/posts.

Given the generic names of the elemental weapons and lack of description, there are players who are still confused over their bonuses/penalties despite the years they have been in GMS.


Example of the current Elemental Wand 8:




Example of the new Elemental Wand 8 after the change:




By adding the original names/new bonus and penalty description to the elemental weapons, this will be a great way to solve such confusion.

Post in the nexon forums in order to bring more attention to the issues.

I have to be honest here. With the buff we are getting in Ascension, somehow I don't believe the boost will be kept, or will be nerfed to only 5% of each stat.

If not, then keep them the way they are as at least on us, Fire Poison Arch Mages with the 5% on only poison since our main attack is purely poison.

We can only wait till nexon says something, because I'm sure as hell the other classes WILL complain.

BUT, I can try to bring public attention to your request.

Actually nexon had their chance to get rid of the bonuses during big bang when they cited balancing issues as the reason for removing them.

By deciding to return the bonuses/penalties, it would be hypocritical for them to remove it again for any future revamp in maplestory in which all of the classes are being affected (pirates/thieves at a later date).

If mages were the only class being updated, then I can see them having a valid reason for removal.

Besides, I doubt +10% damage would be game breaking when even with +25% mages were considered to be lackluster during kmst big bang.

Why would you nerf the holy ele wand to make it lightning
I wanna see them nerf them again just to see the rage about people quitting because they feel scammed its so delicious every time

Doesn't stop them regardless.

Do they still reduce non-boosted elements to 75%? :f6:

We're going to need a lot more posts in the nexon forums at this rate...

Could have sworn the mage section on basil had more activity.

Yes, there's still a 0.75% penalty.

Good luck. After 2+ years of fighting for the damn things to work right every 6 months I've just flat out stopped caring. They're now decorative for me.

Instead of being mad at GMS be mad at KMS where a 5% total dmg boost still isnt enough to be on par shows you their balance

I remember your petition for the weapons earlier.

But if the Jump update isn't enough to get mages interested for the final two changes, then I doubt anything will at this rate.

Took around 13-15 pages to get a response from -Hime- during big bang...

People are already paying 1.5+ bil for a clean Ele Wand 7 with one getting a C/O of 2.3 bil when its under-average.

Those desperate enough to pay 3+ bil for a clean Ele Wand 8 for Jump have no idea that they have the same bonus as an Ele Wand 7.

I think archmages are somewhat on par already.

It's problems such as magic guard+infinity being dispelled that's a concern.

*Update: The Elemental Weapon Name/Description Change thread was moved from the General section to the Bugs and Glitches section.

So a mod must have read the contents and thought it was something for nexon to fix. (:

The Staffs and Wands give so much more M.Att than all other weapons that I don't even care if they fix the bonuses... once Jump comes I'll care even less.

That only applies to the 163 staves and even then the dragon tail set would beat their advantage.

The other elemental weapons have wands/staves with equal to or higher M. Att in the compared
level ranges.

So I'm sure there are those who would take the bonus over nothing as an alternative.

I have never been funded, and my lack to obtain mesos is disturbing. So far I have focused on getting the lvl 130 sets for my Arch Mage (Fire,Poison), my Bishop and my Arch Mage (Ice, Lighting). Mostly because of the set stats, rather than the equips themselves, and they will only costs gallant emblems. My Evan will be the my only character with the "Broken equips".

The lvl 140 set would be ideal end game, as it indeed beats the magic att. on any ewand AND the with set, you could say it has 170 magic att.
It also provides an advantage to when bosses like Cygnus uses potential cancel.

However, in Gali, doing a Cygnus run is impossible, so I'll stick with the 130 sets (crafting and jewelry) till the 140 sets are available.

I really doubt Nexon will do something with the elementals, and if they do, it would be a nerf. I think it be best to take their attention to other places.

You know, because of their definition of "balance" is well... odd.

BTW, should we make a new nexon forum thread for this issue? I think that with enough people Nexon can turn their eyes into the "situation".

Which situation?

Which situation?

The one you spoke about? Of fixing the elemental weapons? Giving them their boost or having a description? The situation all over this thread I referred to.

Oh, both of them are in the Bugs and Glitches section. (current front page)

The Description change thread used to be in the General section but that was moved.
