Dev Blog: The Age of Heroes Class Rebalance

Your opinion is not law.

I quoted that section specifically for those who had hope there would be an update for thieves and/or pirates.

Then those people are stupid to assume otherwise.

Having hope is not the same as assuming.

Um, hey, guys? Nexon Korea's supposed to be holding a special conference tomorrow, from what I hear. Maybe you'll get your Thief and Pirate updates then. Maybe.

Yup yup. I don't think it's the Thief and Pirate updates though, else they wouldn't have ended Jump! and worked on Cannon Shooter (along with putting strings to new class IDs in the data).

I doubt they're just gonna let them go though. I expect it tied in with the new classes or maybe after.

Or maybe Nexon just thinks Thieves and Pirates are already balanced. In which case, lolol -- I'm glad I'm working on two warrior jobs now (Hero for DPS, Tankadin for Tankadin).

When I read this post/blog, I get the impression that they actually had to think about these things instead of copying and pasting skills/classes from KMS. Has anything actually changed for us in comparison to KMS in terms of these class buffs/debuffs?

Nothing intentional or in the spirit of class balance, no.

I felt like this one was a little insincere.

She makes it sound like they actually contribute to the development of the game and somewhat oversee the direction the game goes toward.

Feigning concern on releasing Resistance...are you serious? Sounds like a classic, "We're the good guys!"

Apologizing for Mechanics? What about DEM 1 Blade 1 Daggers! (*Dual Blades*, why they are still called that is beyond me. Don't get why NexonKR did not stick with the original plan of them using two blades to this day...Oops, guess I ranted a little there.)

At least they publicly announced Jump! this holiday season. Too bad I'm a thief...WHY?!?

Since MapleStory had no real competitive elements and hunting space was plentiful

I lol'd oh so hard.

They didn't mention cannon shooters either. guess we aren't getting them.

Not the same point since Cannon Shooters don't exist yet, but okay.

I, for one, welcome our new Dual Blade overlords.

i dunno why, but this phrase ALWAYS cracks me up.

ignoring the obvious jump jargon going on, these are the only thing that comes from nexon, which doesn't dissappoint me, seriously, she could tell me how sorry she is that i have to eat my own poop to play maple, and i wouldn't mind <.<

LoooooL,
BB~

Silly Nexon. Mechs will still be melting faces hard with 4th job.

Not the same point since Cannon Shooters don't exist yet, but okay.

Actually that was the point. They mentioned Warrior, Mage, and Archer rebalance only.Yet both the Pirate and Thief rebalances don't exist yet and what you're saying nor does cannon shooter so why should Global MS, who is NOT the lead mention something that doesn't exist yet.

With Chaos we are beginning another round of changes that will continue throughout 2011. With the release of Age of Heroes, we will significantly adjust Aran, Evan, and Dual Blades. Resistance and Cygnus classes will also undergo changes, with Bowmen, Magicians and Warriors following later this year. We hope that after these overhauls most classes wont see major changes for some time, but of course that cannot be set in stone.

Sorry thieves, pirates.

Since when does "most" mean "all"?

I have no idea whether a Jump! for thieves and pirates is in the works, but this Dev Blog does not prove there isn't.

so much emphasis on class balance..

>>buccaneers

-look of disapproval-

Buccs forever the lolclass.

I also hope that Mechanics everywhere eventually forgive us.

AHAHAHA! This made my night!

Eurydice actually did contribute with the planing, seeing that she/he went over to korea to talk about the next updates.

"Next week I’ll be travelling to Korea to talk with the other MapleStory developers about future plans. I have a feeling I’ll come back with lots of exciting news for you!"

Also Eurydice is a developer so i think she/he would know about maple. Also we just started getting these blogs so we do not know how long Eurydice has been with GMS.

Eh? How do you figure that?

I'm a programmer. I've worked on all sorts of software, from warehouse management to air traffic control. I know very little about either field, or any of the others I've developed software for. Requirements/design and testing were always done by experienced users, though, which is something sadly lacking at Nexon (Korea and America, both).
