JapanMS - Open-To-All Test Server; May 16th ~ 30th

Shall we start to make a list of attendees right now? I know i'm going to play. We can hook you up with the stuff you need to play.

ooh?

If I had to guess, the things you had hotkeyed would stay on the keyboard.

@ShinkuDragon: NO! SHADOW PARTNER BOWMASTER/SNIPER

Shadow Partner Aran + Whirlwind?

Trololololo

I wonder if it would work for melee skills now, seeing how it works for Shadowers now. That would be ridiculous.

Shadow Partner doesn't work on melee skills, though. O_o

Dual Blade Shadow Partner?

Dual Blade Shadow Partner?

Dual Blade's Mirror Imaging skill is different. lol

I wasn't even thinking about Shadowers with Shadow Partner, though.

I should have said that instead of Dual Blade. But I keep forgetting they have Shadow Partner. :<

Me too, even though I have a Shadower. LOL

What about Combo Ability + Combo Crit + Shadow partner Wildhunters?

Is NexonJP deliberately setting themselves up for class imbalances all over their servers?!

I really hope Shadow Partner can't be trans-classed. I hope the same for Comb/Adv. Combo and other skills like it. :| They should have just stuck to mainstream content for now. There's no lick of Lion Heart Castle, Chryse, new guild updates, or UA in the JMS WZ files, yet they come up with this crap which completely obliterates the entire game as we know it.

Now come on ShiKage, I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself. No one has seen how this works yet, and all I have is inconclusive data and hunches. Perhaps it would be best to wait out a few days until you can see the true making of this stuff.

Yeah, I know. I'm waiting for the test server to open before I come to any solid opinions, but as far as speculation goes, this is a very bad idea.


The thing I'm MOST upset about is the lack of the mainstream content like LHC, UA, etc. We've been out of Big Bang since January and we haven't gotten any content besides the ONE Japan-original update (Chaos bosses and Hob PQ excluded, because those were LOOOOOOOOOONG overdue). Now we're getting another Japan-original update and there's absolutely no sign of the mainstream content.

I wish GMS was getting original content. ;-;

Lol.

I sound whiney/selfish in saying that, don't I? :X

Well, original content is extremely cool every once in a while, but when that's all you get and you see other versions getting more interesting content, it sucks. The Monster Book and 十字旅団 content were cool as hell and I still love the crap out of them, but another original update before we can even get one new thing from the mainstream content, especially one that's potentially game-killing, is annoying. I've been preparing out my ass for UA for a while, trying to get good equips for my future character and I've been wanting to play that future character for a very long time now (since I played JMST for Big Bang, even), but with every patch, it just makes my preparations look futile and it makes me feel bad.

You make a point. Guess it would be kind of like if a version kept getting original content for months on end without even getting Big Bang.

I bet everyone has it wrong, but hey, wild conjecture is fun times to be had (no sarcasm).

Real (hypothetical) questions:
1. If the system exists as everyone's hybrid hopes suggest, will weapons still be locked under specific skills? Of course, the buffs are the sticking point to this whole discussion, but switching weapons during combat is, to say the least, not ideal.

2. All this W.ATT love floating around...I can understand being a hybrid mage or holy mage is definitely meh and really doesn't warrant that much discussion, but I am curious if a shift from being an M.ATTer to a W.ATTer would work since attacks are based only on range now, or if it would work at all.

In the end, I feel regular adventurer to reincarnated adventurer is too much and I feel it would be CK -> Adventurer if anything. Maybe I might spend some time downloading JMS too, this could be interesting.

Magic attacks would work on weapon attack based classes, but they couldn't use anything except the level 10 wand or the random one-handed swords with magic attack, so it would be quite pointless.

Gotta break the game another way somehow, even though potential system is already broken as is. All they need to do now is make this system work on Adventurer -> Adventurer and we're set!

According to the notice, you can. It says Adventurers and Cygnus.

According to Fiel's code he extracted, you can go from Adventurer and Cygnus to Adventurer, Cygnus Legend, Resistance, or Dual Blade.

B> This in GMS just to spite...or...
inb4 KMS makes a similar system to 1up JMS.
Honestly though, I'm surprised it took this long for a MapleStory version to actually implement a "Rebirth" system in the live retail servers.
