@ghostofhalo - 25% damage, it's a minimal boost. And the regular set of mages/elementals, broken? Ha, ha, ha. How would you know if they actually tested it and did comparisons, and the like, to find out that this 'breaks' everything? A .25x multiplier on non-mage weapons, for other jobs? So much for your balance logic.
Mages are already left out of bossing/far from considered. Making everything else even more stronger than mages, what would the point of mages even be? Their elementals aren't even a factor when there's Elemental Reset available. Every other job can manage to, for example, solo pap in a very short amount of time. Mages, are stuck with taking a while.
Also, "working on". Not everyone gets their event rewards, etc, etc. Masteria had a few mentions here and there. Then there's the whole Alien mess that was around, which ruined the game for many, many, people. It's just plain poor planning.
@PirateMG - That's pretty much the point of this. And, it wouldn't cause more drama. What could cause more drama, things related to hacks such as unpatched D/C hacks, or a 'stupid' bonus? If anything, this would be the opposite of drama. Removing has already caused more drama. All returning it really does is give an 'it's about time', and a few 'omfg nexon rulz'.
@Adramelech - It wouldn't really affect your battlemage unless Nexon did something stupid.
@SaptaZapta - Then why not just make a new set of weapons? People wanted it for elemental reasons, but that's even worse than what they're doing now. It'd literally make Nexon's problem disappear, but make everyone -very- unhappy. As well as, compensation is compensation. Keeping quiet and then forgetting about it is far worse than a simple, I don't know, let's say, set of mesos?
As for skills, everything need to be reworked. The whole system fails. Everything suddenly replaces everything else, etc, etc. Too many pointless useless skills, and only some are being changed.
@Kabanaw - Compensation is compensation. Requires NX to obtain, I'm sure any (actual) response would make people happy. They have dev blogs and such, they can go more in-depth with things.
@Dusk - Because everyone gets to do criticals now without the ring. Want more crit damage? Make a crit-oriented job. Not good enough? Crit potentials.
There's your cake, go ahead and eat it.
Customer Service and demanding explanations is also part of an MMO. Get used to it.
Also, it's not that big of a damage boost, it's only fair, with, you know, 11 weapon attack capes, 20 attack work gloves, and the like. 5+ facestompers, too.
@Satellite - Before BB, it was...Genesis, skelegons, and 'easy' leveling. Their elemental weakness allowed one-shots and 199k's. As well as, they're a -support- class. A support class became the best attacking mage and practically 'best' leveler, even more so with HS. A support class is weak in attacks for a reason.
Then there's Elemental Reset, which makes everything even/equal. Which already kills the point of basic elements. Otherwise, Bishops are 'stronger' than you'd think.
@SolicShooter - Do we already have the 130-140 weapons? Who said anything about a reverse set? Do we easily get access to them? What's here is here. And Nexon -stated- compensation. Changes are made, but to literally break the point of what it was originally, smooth move there. Literal hundreds of, ifnot a thousand, dollars were used. Did you forget how these things are obtained?
Again, why should an 'elemental staff' help Battle Mages, dark users, more than the original mages/elements?
And, what? There's the whole 130-140 weapons stuff, but then elementals being the 'best' weapon? At level 163, yes, it is the best weapon, because it's the only real endgame weapon as of now. Otherwise, it's mediocre and can easily be surpassed. Unless you put a lot of time and effort into it, which I believe many people did do. What does level 130-140 armor have to do with 120 armor and compensation?
