Nostalgia of Pre-BigBang Maplestory

Pre-Big Bang Vipers and Shadowers. Vipers really hit their peak around v75 GMS, or whatever version that last Adventurer revamp came with before Big Bang. Shadowers, however, really were at their peak just before Justice. Still, Shadowers were pretty awesome before Big Bang and one of the most interesting classes.

I also miss the simplicity of skills. Heroes, for example, only had to use Brandish, a skill that only hit twice. There was no need for final attack or anything. Paladins hit only once per attack, as well, and it was beautiful.

I remember the cap being 99,999 and that was considered hard to do (before all of the duping and crap that began happening in GMS), unless you were a Viper (Rapid Fist), Marksman (Pierce), or Hero (Panic).

I remember having to fight Papulatus in full parties. Trying to solo it back then was insane... especially if you could actually pull it off (pre-4th job, of course). Now... it just... Go in as an unfunded level 120 and two-shot kill it. >_>



I miss it a lot, but being spoiled on the way the mechanics for MapleStory work now, I probably would drive myself insane trying to play pre-Big Bang MapleStory if I went back in time to do so.
