Quote:Currently we have a number of equips available which were intended to be part of the player progression up towards Sweet Water but are being skipped over because of the unnaturally high drop rate of Sweet Water in the current game. These include:
• Reverse
• Timeless
• Abyss
• Fearless
• Imperial
• Empress
The new drop rate was only implemented today so it is much too early for anyone to know if it is too low yet. How about in about a month we revisit this and if players are still overwhelmingly in favor of a drop rate increase we can discuss that with the developer?
No nexon, the reason people skip all those equips is because you've created an environment where to make a weapon worth using at high end bosses, you have to spend a significant amount of NX to get it to the point where it is unique/legendary with a boss % damage line. No-one in their right mind would do that on a stopgap weapon when you can reasonably rush through to the point where you can get a tyrant or sweetwater equip.
In fact, really, there's no point to the midtier weapons because 110 weapons with decent scrolling is enough to get you through to that point, and there are no midtier bosses in maplestory. Either you can kill it with virtually no boss damage and a 110 weapon with a few 3% stat lines, or it's ridiculously unkillable unless you go all in, which means tyrant or sweetwater.
