[1.2.318] Maplestory 2.0

Damage seems to be a lot more stable (without counting the critical disbalance).

That's assuming he has 90 weapon attack. Sounds like a stretch with just a Maple Sword. Get some screen shots with various weapons and stats.

It's not a stretch figuring Rage.

EDIT: Scratch that. He's not using Rage.

Looks like Mastery didn't get nerfed. The 50% is just to compensate for how much higher min damage is now.

 Look at the damage range

STR = 210
DEX = 46
WATK = 90
Using 1H Sword

MaxDmg = (STR * 4.0 + DEX) * WATK / 100
MaxDmg = (210 * 4.0 + 46) * 90 / 100
MaxDmg = 797

Looks like the max damage calculation still holds. The minimum doesn't.

MinDmg = (STR * 4.0 * 0.9 * Mastery + DEX) * WATK / 100
MinDmg = (210 * 4.0 * 0.9 * 50% + 46) * 90 / 100
MinDmg = 381

The minimum seems to be almost exactly 70% of the max. Maybe mastery is +50% mastery on top of a 20% base, with mastery meaning what percent of the maximum the minimum is? That would explain evan's (or some other class, I'm forgetting) mastery not being able to go beyond 70%.

It works perfectly if I move mastery outside of the equation:

=(STR * 4 + DEX) * MASTERY * WATK / 100
=(210 * 4 + 46) * 0.7 * 90 / 100
= 558.18
using 70% mastery

If that really is the weapon attack he has, though.

It does seem like they tried to simplify damage calculations by just making minimum = max*mastery. Different weapons/classes seem to have different masteries though, or extra mastery is somehow otherwise obtained. Assuming 10% mastery base is still true, that warrior has an extra 10% mastery, and in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWXcClWOaYM the wild hunter has 66% mastery, 50% coming from the skill and I'm assuming 1% from the 1 point in MM boost, making for an extra 5% mastery coming from somewhere.

not sure if tis (Blessing of Fairy) exists in KMST? Wouldn't it play into the equation too?

considering that is his only char no it doesn't

I like the idea of the Sleepywood area (outside, where there's six split paths), and I actually really like the new Lith Harbor and Kerning City. Perion and Ellinia, not really sure. Don't really like the maps that led to Ellinia either, but I'm still really liking what I'm seeing so far.

is that an assumption ? O_O? or u know the acct owner?

It does exist.

All towns now look as if they're hiding from something, rather than open and nice spaces.

I say again.

It's the Black Magicians fault.

They best be hiding from the Dark Magician.

I was thinking this too. "KK GUYS, DARK MAGE IS ON HIS WAY. TURTLE IT THE F'UCK UP" -Grendal

gMS is gonna be damn glitchy when Nexon America starts working on this patch.

I'm ridiculously excited about this update. I didn't think MapleStory could excite me this much anymore. I sincerely hope the reconstruction of mages is well-done. I'd like to be able to play my Bishop again without having to spam ultimates to do.. Well, everything.

i am totally desperate for videos. im deciding between attack classes or fire mage. :/

I can see AM being useless (if they already weren't) after this patch.
