Not the same as saying he's easy. Since when was it cut and dry one or the other? We both agree there is a level of difficulty, your perception of it is merely exaggerated compared to mine.
Locked Wrote:Just so you know, the DR on Pink Bean to my knowledge is broken to an extent. I don't believe the data states that those are the actual start/end times for DR so in order to find out you probably would have to fight it.
Didn't know that, but it matters little. Whether you find out the times from someone or fight him yourself, you aren't going to charge in and just attack expecting to tank every hit including DR. You're going to patiently follow those timers whether they're exact or not and attack him when he is casting an animation if you think he's close to DRing. Something you also don't need to actually fight him to understand.
I'm not saying you can kill PB with no prior experience. (or maybe people can? who knows) I'm saying understanding the mechanics and strategy to the fight and still come out successful isn't hard.
Locked Wrote:As I mentioned before, just because it is a joke to certain group settings does not mean it's a joke to other groups. This concept is not difficult to grasp, as you are and never will be the majority of maple players.
1) I didn't say "I" in that quote. I never said i was the majority, i never said funded players are the majority. I did say, however, that the majority of players are capable of beating him in a group setting because crash and bind exist, a point you yourself brought up.
2) Just because they don't consider him a joke doesn't mean is in fact not a joke. People exaggerate difficulty when they are intimidated by something they've never attempted. If the people who consider him on the same level as empress actually went and finished a run, they wouldn't see him in the same light they did before.
Locked Wrote:This isn't high level content, this is rehashed useless content that is barely original. It's taking an old idea and expanding on its difficulty by adding a gimmick to it. If you want an example of this, just look at Chaos Zakum/Chaos Horntail and how they turned out.
You inferred the wrong usage of "new". It's different.
Chaos zak/HT turned out fine. They added two bosses for two completely different groups of players, something this game desperately needs. Variety in bossing. Or do you think high levels don't in fact need something different to do?
Locked Wrote:Mentioned this twice. You're really adamant about generalising with little proof or data. You and your friends != all of maple.
Yeah that's what i get for replying on a mobile phone.
You're really adamant about disagreeing with me because you think i have no perspective. :/
When did i say me and my friends = all of maple? I remember saying players (who happen to be friends, minus green4ever, i don't know him, just his accomplishments he posts here) of wildly different power levels are capable of killing pink bean. Am i wrong in stating that this is what they do? Do you need more examples or something? Sorry i'm in a small server, certainly couldn't compare to windia, a pinnacle server for the bossing elite. You must see pink bean messages all the time. Or is he too hard for that to happen? Either way, pink bean is a lot easier than he was before big bang, and Nexon finally realizes this. Whether you agree with me or not i don't really care, but CPB will be released regardless of whether the sea parts and we actually agree on this.
