[CMST Spark Update]-Video Sharing

Making the damage cap based on a small set of weapons is power creep at its finest and one of the dumbest ideas ever. It basically obsoletes every other viable end-game weapon. What happens when level 160 weapons are eventually released? Will they have 20 mil damage caps to render Fafnir weapons obsolete? The damage cap in general is a terrible idea, but at least 50 mil was high enough for most classes.

you took my thoughts verbatim....
honestly I can see a large number of players walking away if that weapon based damage cap is implemented.

nexon has to realize they have MUCH bigger things to worry about, such as game mechanics, balance of classes, and new game content, before they should even think about looking at trivial aspects such as a new UI...

I dont' know if other people feel the same as me or not, but i'm very very tired of playing the same game, doing the same things, over and over again, relying on playing a new class if I had the slightlest inclination to try to find something "different".

and upgrading has almost become pointless since all we do is upgrade only for it to be useless all over again.
i'm pretty sure upgrading equips is one of the biggest sources of revenue generation from players for maplestory.
and upgrading is stupid if all the work and effort we put into it is nullified do to modification of existing game content.
I can understand and agree if we need to put in work to upgrade for new bosses and new areas, but its simply ridiculous if they just turn around and change what we already have...

Is anyone hoping that they do another patch on this with major improvements?

Level 210 link skills sounds like a good way to give hackers an even bigger advantage lol

Anyways about the damage cap thing, I'll be quitting if I have a 1M cap with lvl 163 estaffs lol

For many, myself included, they're a necessity or else we won't be as strong as we could be, and I definitely don't like that.

If you think missing out on the extra 5% crit or whatever is going to kill you just because you personally don't have the drive to get to 210, then I suggest you play on your own server so that you can always be the best and set your own difficulty bar--alternatively, you can go see a psychiatrist.

Oh you have no idea. There's so much that needs changing

It's not that kind of necessity, but just to clear things up, I do have the drive to get to 210. I've been itching to train my characters ever since they announced the 250 level cap.

Then it won't be a problem for you. Would you rather that they implement the 250 cap without these lv3 link skills?

I believe the UI is a butchered attempt at Action RPG/Diablo-esque like games with the skills being at the bottom and the exp near it with the HP at the side.

What purpose do hackers need with link skills? They're hackers!

I don't recall ever saying it was a problem for me. I also don't have a positive or negative opinion towards Level 3 Link Skills, I was just trying to explain why some people would be upset that they occur at 210 rather than a lower level to someone who asked why people had a problem with it. I'm sorry for trying to help.

KMS will get the UI revamp eventually. KMS doesn't like to be one-upped.

And uhhh...the damage cap/200+ level content going into CMS is from KMS??

I have a question that you might not be able to answer.


When it comes to updates and such is it KMS that tells you what to put out, or do y'all put out what you think we'll like?

Upset that some things in a game actually require effort?

No, we're upset over things that require effort when the rewards does NOT compensate for anything.

Yeah, totally, it takes me a few days to get to 200, must be too easy, so expecting everyone to get, what is it, 8 characters now?, to 210 is completely reasonable. 150 or 180 would be just too easy. Effortless.

Also, I hope to Dear Goddess of Time that Alien PQ isn't the new Masteria content that was talked about.

I am confused why you guys are upset about the Level 3 link skills? It's not like we're nerfing the current Level 2 link skills. You don't HAVE to level up your link skill alts if you don't want to.

thank you. i;ve always thought link skills was a bonus for playing a class you really like, not something everyone and their mothers should have.

No, we're upset over things that require effort when the rewards does NOT compensate for anything.

Then like I asked before, would you rather that the level 3 link skills didn't exist and you get NO REWARD AT ALL for going beyong 200, like in KMS?

Here's what Girasol said in Nexon Forums, maybe it'll help a bit?

I really have NO idea what CMS got as compared to what we're getting, really.

We are getting that revamped UI, though. The UI looks similar so far, but understand that we are further customizing it for our service.

We are getting some things from KMS Unlimited, which I've already said. Just not everything. =P And we're not calling it Spark...

Then like I asked before, would you rather that the level 3 link skills didn't exist and you get NO REWARD AT ALL for going beyong 200, like in KMS?

Yes, yes I would. In my opinion, getting no reward for tedious work is better than getting a crappy reward sometimes. This is one of those times. At least there's no disappointment for going beyond 200 for nothing. Not to me at least.

Double post. my bad.

I'm fine with everything except for that terrible damage cap idea.
