Patch Available - KMST 1.2.456

HP 2,100,000,000 → 8,400,000,000
Exp 3,000,000 → 300,000

Is real HP??? the game is now 64 bits????

well... on one side, that makes stuff need more partying, can't complain about that.

the problem is the rewards probably aren't adjusted accordingly at all, so it's not worth it at all.

This is pretty depressing. :|

This is historical indeed. If 1) All of this is unchanged/made worse and 2) Automata ISN'T the DS' little brother this will be a historical moment for me in Maple because my excitement for it has never gone down so pineappling quickly. :|

chaos pink bean 276.5bil hp total
Magnus hard mode is 252 bil hp
Cygnus is 210 bil hp.............
chaos horntail 50.4 bil hp
VL 10.5bil hp o.0 <<< now that going to be so annoying with the insane amount of heal he has

there is the good new... the good news is that all the normal zak and ht is the same hp and pinkbean
only the chaos version got upgrade to super hard i believe when they said it chaos it probably mean that way

the worst news is that all the bosing is now 30min time for all bosses

Well, this game's gone to hell. Guess I'm quitting when this update comes.
Honestly, this is one patch that should never leave Tespia.

However, thank God KMS comes first so I know not to do the Zakum pre-quests on any of my characters.

What the actual f'uck.

I already have a hard time killing Empress v2s in the 1 hour timespan, never mind a 30 minute time limit along with an HP increase and Empress no longer going into her shell.

If they're going to do this, they should improve the damage formulas so that this is actually possible.

oh my God, you'd have to - big gasp - kill the boss with others now.

Seriously, you all complain too much. Nexon is bringing the party back to bosses. All bosses could be soloed, most under 1 minute. They do the best and easiest thing about it, increasing HP, decreasing time, so that it's not soloable anymore in the timespan. What will happen: Parties will have to be formed to kill them. What will happen for that to work out: a more active community. Oh my god, the game is actually fucking increasing D= We must protest.

Oh wow. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this yet but those are some pretty radical changes.

the problem: the rewards are not adjusted accordingly. out of that whole list, the only one that by then would still drop gear that people would want would be... yep, magnus, due to the massive amount of empress gear and CPB gear around.

this is probably why they introduced the limit to trading 140+ items, to stop the sale of those items, but that in turn also devalues them, why buy something i can't trade if i can cube something much better that is tradeable? after all most of the damage comes from... yep, cubes.

You missed the part where 1) People would have to have cubed to a really godly extent to manage this 2) No one's even sure if that limit can be reached and most importantly 3) There's no point to it if the drops are the same as before, instead, it's far more likely that people will quit because no one wants to fight the same boss with 100x more HP and have to cube even more to get to the point where they can beat it.

EDIT: What [MENTION=7678]ShinkuDragon[/MENTION]; said applies as well and makes this change even worse. Now that people know that their tradeables may be permanently locked in future some may quit rather than to get stuck in this loop of money-making or stick to one class; neither earns Nexon money.

You guys wanted hard bosses, right?

Pay what you owe.

1) Not if you go with 30 people or whatever else is the max amount of people allowed in.
2) So neither are you.
3) Wrong. Assume nobody does empress and magnus and whatever for a month or 2. Do you think the empress equips stay as low as 25m like they're now in GMS (right?)? No. They'll rise. Will they rise enough to make such a run worthwhile? Maybe. Maybe only after 3 months. Who cares? It will still make bossing interesting for a while again, untill all these 'new' bosses can be soloed again in 12 minutes.

I don't see how fighting the same boss is fun or interesting, but YMMV.

I haven't fought all the bosses in maplestory yet. I don't believe a big percentage of the players has.

It's almost like a GMS/KMS collab these past 2 days...

GMS: "Hey lets make all the pro players quit when we delete things we should have done over a year ago right before black friday"
KMS: "Yeah that's a good idea, we'll make 70% of the changes we've been doing these past few years irrelevant while making existing equipment useless again, increasing funding limits to impossible levels, and revamp all bosses to give it a new sense of difficulty. Maybe we can use these systems players have been suggesting for years so people are happy too"
GMS: "Genius! We'll make so much money off this! Maybe then our quarterlies won't be so disappointing!"

When they make major changes to bosses it is actually fun to go and try them out because it forces you to change the way you originally killed it.
Recently they changed several bosses so that you can't knock them back anymore and I've found those bosses fun because of it.

I as well see the trend on them pushing for party bossing as well. I mean, with the previous boss aggro(DR detection) system, along with all classess being buffed, bossess hp increasing AND KMS choosing to only display your damage on boss on your sceen to prevent lag, its almost clear as day that their intent is boss raids.

If these updates gets released as is, can we expect this might be the start of a new cycle that wouldn't surprise much of anyone?
Sure the bosses may be hard in an odd way now, but you know Nexon will slowly buff and revamp classes overtime like they have done in the past several years. I wouldn't mind trying these bosses with a party for fun though. Not really complaining so I'll just take whatever goes.

Since this update is still new, I don't think we know everything about it just yet. I'll just wait until more news or at least until the update gets finalized in the official servers.
