[1.2.318] Maplestory 2.0

Warrior mastery, booster, charge, weapon skills that had a specific weapon have been unrestricted to work with either weapon.

ie: There is now no such thing as a PA DK or Axe Hero or whatever, they're all able to use any class weapon.

Holy shyt, will we be seeing 1H Sword + Shield Dark Knights in the future? That is both a scary and exciting thought at the same time. Wait, 2H Sword Dark Knight. Polearm Hero! Axe Paladin!

And at the FA comment, I'd rather not have FA meddling in my rush.

But what if it didn't take more time but just double attacks ->double damage or something

Would magic mastery mean 90% mastery for mages? I hope they don't remove ultimates cooldown though, it would destroy the whole classes' identity =^\

OMG I'd so be a PA pally

Oh pomegranate! Thats a game changer move! Now you can use a godly axe as a hero until you finish your sword! its mind blowing!

Guess this means there is no disadvantage to certain warrior weapon builds. DrKs now mob and do 1v1 damage without sacrificing anything. Paladins can now choose which weapon they want and can switch at literally any time. Axe heroes can switch to swords with no downside.

There's no such thing as a godly Axe, even a perfectly scrolled one is worse than a clean sword in most cases :x I guess this is one way of dealing with that problem.

I think he means that pole arm fury and crush will work with both pole arms and spears without having to max the specific weapon skill.

How is a 150ish attack axe weaker than a 110ish attack sword :c|

Speed and stability, my friend.

And upon further reading, it looks like they're taking polearms away from dragon knights and axes from heroes. What confuses me is they're taking away maces from pages and swords from paladins. That doesn't make sense at all. It would make more sense if it was swords for both advancements. This is going to have a huge effect on warriors.

Edit: I think Stereo clarified it, never mind. Can bowmasters use crossbows please?

That's utterly different.

The EXP curve makes me really happy, since I'm a kMSer.
However, I'm still reserved because there has been a lack of actual new areas released and a solution to the crazy KS madness and problems that horde all 19 channels of kMS C-2.

Brandish kills the Axe damage formula, equal stat weapon is only about 89% as strong. In addition Axes are almost all slower than swords.

inb4 "ZOMG THIS WILL MOST LIKELY YEILD NEW, HIGHER LEVLED CONTENT" -> 1 year later "God damn it, Nexon! Stop adding new level 30~70 areas!"

Oh wow

"- Modify the terrain of each village and, NPC locations have been corrected."

I won't be able to recognize any town anymore D:

To each his own then. Though, i would think the potential system can help balance that, specially if its on a normal speed axe and it turns out great. But swords can go that way too.

I cleaned up the translation a little bit on my own, should be easier to read now:
