draconius Wrote:Standard history of a "complain about mage ultimates" thread:
1. Someone brings it up that mages train too fast.
2. Someone that can't afford leech complains about the effect of leeching.
3. Someone concurs and ties this to the "downfall" of the game "as its supposed to be played"
4. Mage/Bishop comes in and says there isn't any way of playing the game, says that the tradeoff is that mages can't do single target damage for crap.
5. Someone points out that bishops are wanted at parties.
6. Mages and bishops start arguing with one another about how bishops are broken, other classes join in the intra-class discussion and everyone gangs up on bishops (Insert 15 pages of complaining about Ele wands in here while we're at it)
7. Someone proposes a "new" solution to mage ultimates being either to remove them and give good DPS for mages, give them a cooldown, or make them hit less targets.
8. Mages and bishops stop yelling at each other and condemn the idea.
9. Eos points out that Nexon states that leeching is legitimate.
10. More semantics on what "legit" means.
11. Thread becomes 10 pages long, new people end up just repeating old points.
12. Thread goes full circle for another 30 pages of QQ.
Hey, I just saved us like a week's worth of "fun".
This is correct.
Mystic, you made it to 170 as a Paladin. Props to you, because there are fewer 170 Paladins than mages.
The game IS broken, but nobody seems to give a crap and MS is regarded as a "good" game. If you want to play a game that is "good" and is not broken, play WoW. If you want to play Maple, play Maple until you're 200, and then you will be one fo the comparatively few Paladins who played.
Maple will never be "unbroken," you will simply have Nexon do half-assed attempts to correct the imbalance by introducing new (and expensive) items for the "disadvantaged" classes. Crushed Skull and LunchBox are good examples of this.
Complaining about class imbalance will not remedy it; calling classes nerfed or overpowered will not make them any less nerfed or overpowered. My suggestion is, either train to 200 when training doesn't matter anymore, or quit and play another game. You're not going to convince anyone to abandon their lvl 164 character and this thread sure as hell is not going to influence the Nexon design teams.
