The definite ask and answer thread about Tespia!

Forgive me if this has been answered, but with the nerf on Thorns(and Critical all together) does it still affect only a select few classes or all classes now?

What do the new single target DPS charts look like? Tough question to answer without critical information, I'm sure, but it would be nice to know.

What are any of the changes in terms of quests as far as you can tell? Do they give any new rewards/better rewards? (I'm sorry for such a broad question, really just anything you are aware of as far as quests go).

How hard are dual blader skill books to find? I.e., will I need to spend NX on the 2nd and 3rd job books?

I don't think Crit got nerfed..NL's b4 patch and after Crit at same rate when using TS if not more...

There were no implemented new quests in KMST during the BigBang test.

It should be obvious that most of the people on here care for the intelligent discussion.
And if you don't like how it works, you can go back to SW or Basil.

With the change of shockwave for Buccs, is it a lot more useable now?
Or is it still worthless compared to the other available skills?
How helpful is S. Trans now that it gives ATT but does not stack with anything else?
Is it still worth it for the haste and Demolition for bossing?
And have there been any noticeable delay increases for skills while in S. Trans like before?

My bad.
I meant is the buffed S. Trans still worth it outside of Demo and Haste effect.
Like is there a point to it when the ATT doesn't even stack with the sh'it ton of ATT buffs we already have.

Well If you pass disscussing a game that you can't even play as intelligent discussion then I'm pretty speechless

btw I think shockwave is useable but not worth it because of DS and blast..

Well, that's the closest thing we'll have to playing it until it's released. And if you are here, reading all this, it's simply to know stuff about it, too, right? If not... What the heck are you doing here in the first place?

As for the questions, I'd love to see the new zombies on action. Specially now that they are HIGHER LEVELED THAN ZAKUM.

Boss level really means nothing since even low level bosses have higher HP than most of the stuff in time temple.

Buccaneers only have 2 attack sources. Energy charge and transform.

Obviously, since ST's attack bonus is larger than anything else (40 attack is better than both energy charge and almost literally every other attack pot in the game (in KMS)), and it lasts 95% of the time, ST is worth it.

what bout the other skills for bucs? CSB is basically the same cept 6 hits now and is double upper spammable?

What about them?

All skills are spammable, not just DU.

Does elemental reset work properly? (Currently, if you reset and use a fire skill on fire immune, it still does 1 damage.)
What's the HP/MP growth for each class, as well as AP applied to both?
Does int affect MP gain every level, and AP distribution?
Does HP washing still work? (I know someone posted like during 1.3.2.1 or something, works to know about the future)
Is the 100-attack antibot feature still there?
Is powerguard accuracy-based?
Is experience distribution still the same? (i.e. 60% damage, 40% party split)
Is experience gain still capped at maximum 199.99%. Meaning you can level once off a kill and be left off at 99.99% towards the next?
Is it Windows 7 compatible, or is it still LOLXP only if you don't want to dc at bosses?

kMS fixed it quite a while ago. Unfortunately, gMS hasn't picked it up yet.

Here's the announcement they made:

There were no implemented new quests in KMST during the BigBang test.

If I remember correctly though, I think I saw in the patch notes that they changed some quest rewards or something similar with some (lower leveled I believe) quests. Would you happen to know anything about that?

Planning ahead of patches has made me earn millions from playing the market. I guess you'd call that dumb or nerdish. Sorry for not living the moment like in supercool anarchy.

How fast is leveling? The curve was reduced by as much as 80%, but monsters were also revamped. How do those and the super buffed classes compare to the preBB maplestory?

What has become of Cygnus? Depending on how much faster leveling is, they could become a true "demo" class. A week or so of semi-causual play and you're done. With the accuracy formula, none of them have any hope of bossing on anything over level 120.

What happens to users' quest after the revamp? Do all the old quest just poof? So people like Isaac with over 700 quest done will log in and have zero? Or just event quest?

Can we stop feeding SexPistols?

If I had to describe the revamp of the monsters as tersely as I could, I would say that the farther you get from Victoria, the higher monster's levels get. So, I have high hops that old spots that were good during early levels will now be good spots, i.e., scorpions and roids for 8x and 12x people.

Zombies have a great spawn and now they're something like Lv. 163!

Double post, sorry.

I think they're level 130-something.

New skills and new monsters means new rate of experience gain. It might be faster than preBB, it might be slower. Without knowing that, it's hard to give a clear estimate of leveling speed.

Does heaven's hammer work the same despite the increase in damage to 1100% ?
It still does 200k damage to monsters ?
