My list of pros and cons with the new Maple. Not everything is directly linked to Big Bang itself, but anyway:
Like: Level 1-140 is now so easy that any casual trout can achieve it, having secondary characters aint such a waste of time now. No more dumb ultimates. No more gamebreaking autrocity bosses that give way to much exp and are free to all, like Anego and the dumbest boss of all times, RG type S. HP issues are virtualy gone and washing is almost pointless. New resolution is great. Comptibility issues at bosses are, for me at least, almost totally gone. I actually like the new Victoria. Most classes got an enhancement in gameplay and fun, my wifes DrK went from plain to awesome. Just too bad NLs did not get anything that really changed how we roll, but I love Avenger now, and Dark flare can be incredibly useful in certain instances.
Disslike: Lack of high level training grounds and content. Accuracy system. Removal of monsterbook. Removal of the permanent option as a regular part of cashshop. Cashshop crash bug. Channel change bug. Imbalance in the boss department, either bosses are way to easy or hard as hell, the only middle ground might be Chaos Zakum (and Ht, but only because many of my guildies are obnoxiously lazy and refuse to get to 160). They did not take care of all useless skills, for example shadow meso and ninja ambush are still worthless beyond justification. They still make events that can be easily hacked to hell, some foresight would be fun to see. Limitations in the number of channels that you can fight bosses in. 3 Zak channels aint nearly enough, and once they fix the HT glitch 1 channel will be silly since people can solo it easily now.
All in all, I prefer BB.
