KMST 1.2.437 - Black Mage

More than one class can be terribly overpowered at a time

Every new class is OP, so being OP is the new standard of game balance. It's just that most of the older classes are far too weak, so those playing them are simply biased.

It's like being angry at DVD and Blu-ray players because they vastly outperform your VCR. Times change. New things get released. Standards evolve. The game can't be expected to stay the same forever, otherwise it would lose all its customers/revenue and become one of those niche v.83 pizza slices.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this stuff coming to GMS. Not Luminous, since I find mages to be boring. But the storyline additions are something to salivate over. Also, the music. Dem tunes.

Umm, Pirates and V.1 Battle Mages/Wild Hunters?

Nexon "nerfing" so called OP classes that hit 999.999's all the time

Result: so called OP classes still hit 999.999's all the time...

Excellent work! High Five! :')

hmmm if black mage will be a boss he will be repeatable just like pb zak ht

i can see it already how it work.... the blackmage cant be beat but it can be seal ...
to seal him he must be down to 1% hp and all the other char must stand or use some kind of trick to seal him away if they attack him on 1% hp he will fully heal to full heath... then when he seal it end. but wait..... later the blackwing saw that and release the seal again and you the heros gotta seal up the blackmage again just like zak / ht / pb

this isnt WoW
also, pb isn't killed, it's warping in to another dimension.
Zakum isn't killed, the statue that the SPIRIT of Zakum created is destroyed.
Arkarium is neither killed, he is also warping in to another dimension.
Von Leon is just defeated, seen panting at his defeat, he's not killed.
Papulatus is killed.
Pianus is killed.
Horntail is killed.
Cygnus is not killed, she too, divides herself and warps in to another dimension.

ht cant be kill either cuz i can keep summon him too ?
pianus why does he keep appearing?
Cygnus is not real it just a dream

This is a FANTASY game! Who the hell cares. This argument is stupid.

No. Restriction based class discrimination is horrible. It's nothing more than class warfare.

I am pretty sure that it's going to be neccesary atleast 1 of each hero...

I like how the edit reason is "typo".

Which would exclude the majority of the classes, most of which aren't heroes, and deny them the opportunity to enjoy the new content if they don't have or can't find almost a full party of each hero, 2-3 of which are limited time characters. Which makes it even more exclusionary. Maybe if Nexon stopped removing classes from the game, but until then, no.

Although, that does sound like the kind of plantain move Nexon would think is the greatest idea ever.

In theory it would be good to need 1 of each hero and why not 1 of each class, people would need of every class(including the more "useless" and almost extincted classes) making them neccesary

Theory doesn't translate well into reality if it's not founded on logic or experimentation.

In GMS, not only is it hard to find characters of different classes for PQs, it's hard to find people to PQ with at all.

Now exacerbate that problem tenfold by requiring 1 of each of a multitude of classes, of which there are 30+ total, some of which are time limited, and those almost extinct classes, rather than becoming useful, will in practice only deter players from enjoying that new content.

If a PQ doesn't have a solo option, especially if party play requires more than just another person, then in the new age of grinding over PQing, it will ultimately fail for not taking into account the new realities of MapleStory.

Then again, KMS may not have this problem while Nexon America just doesn't seem to care about it.

Suffice it to say, novelty and "coolness" don't exactly decide the worth of new content. It's all a matter of incentive and availability.

Just remember this could be not another pq like the others, is THE PQ FOR BLACK MAGE, and the level requirement its going to be probably 200... and also i dont think you could solo black mage... at least legit... empress is pretty hard and is just a dream

Exactly.

I mean people love CWKPQ, so saying a class restriction PQ is horrible is a bit asinine.

Just saying incase no one knew, Empress Equipment is now statless too.

Not really surprised that the "Encourage 2ndary stat" plan backfired.
