kMSt ver. 1.2.481 – Skill Changes and New UI!
Another patch has come to Tespia, this time with some slight skill changes, new UI (!) and more changes to professions as well as to the mastery book and skill book systems~
I can’t access Tespia at the moment so I will have to use images from Insoya, and they are lacking…
Maple Island quests have been reorganized! The quests will be divided into two parts, the beginner’s guide and the Adventurer storyline. If you wish, you can skip the guide, but you must do the storyline quests. They also updated the NPCs and artwork! I love it~
Here’s a video, thanks to Maplefreak26.
Oh yeah, they expanded on the Adventurer story line, up to level 80 or 90 (I can’t remember). I think its a great idea to keep it going, hopefully it even stretches into 4th job!
And I think it’s related to the Adventurer story line, but guess who’s back~?
Maple Auction (which was made available for use a couple of patches ago but I totally missed that) has received some changes. You will now correctly receive notifications about your auctions. In addition, when putting a Use/Etc./Cash item up for sale, you will be able to see the average price for the item. An auto-complete feature has been added into the quick search so you can find the items you are looking for.
The stat information window has been renewed! Some stats have been moved around based on their importance and you can now see your total boss damage and defense ignore on it as well~
The equipment window has also been renewed! It is now seperated into different tabs, the first for game items (your regular equipment), Cash items, pet equipment, and Android information. If you are a special job such as Mechanic, Evan, or Angelic Burster, there will also be a tab for your specific equipment.
Likewise, the quest window has been renewed. In the ‘available’ tab you can now search through the quests there and for some, you can even automatically start them through the window! The ‘in progress’ tab has been slightly changed in order to make it easier to find the quest summary, the items you need, and the rewards you will receive. It allows you to automatically complete quests through the window as well.
The ‘party quest’ tab has been renamed to ‘recommended content’ and will now show content that might be good for you to participate in. In addition, the information given for these types of content has become more detailed and easier to read.
In order to use various scrolls and items that enhance your equipment easier, a new item upgrade window has been added! You can open it by pressing the hammer icon at the bottom of the item inventory.
After you open it, your mouse will turn into a hammer and you can choose the equipment you wish to enhance as well as the Use item you wish to use to enhance it. After both the equipment and use item are in the window, you can press the Upgrade button to apply its effects.
The scroll helper Balalio who allowed you to use Legendary Spirit without having the skill has been deleted due to the functionality of the new item upgrading UI.
The profession system has received three new additions! The profession of blacksmithing can now create Cubes, accessory crafting can now create Flames of Reincarnation, and alchemy can now create bags.
Blacksmiths can create two types of cubes, the Artisan’s Cube (which can go up to Unique) and the Master’s Cube (which can go up to Legendary and has a higher chance to raise the rank of your item). Accessory crafters can create the Strong Flame of Reincarnation which has a higher chance of giving high stats and the Eternal Flame of Reincarnation which gives the highest stats possible but has a 1% chance of destroying your item.
You will be able to find Artisan’s Cubes and Strong Flames both through hunting monsters and creating them through professions, but the other two will only be available through production. If you are successful in creating one of the Meister equipment, Master’s Cube or the Eternal Flame of Reincarnation, a message will be broadcasted to the entire world.
Two new types of Extractors have been added. The first, the Cube Extractor can be used to extract Strange Cubes. The second is the Scroll Extractor and can extract any non-Cash Shop scrolls as well as Flames of Reincarnation. The materials that you receive are used in the creation of Cubes, Flames, and Bags. Even if you have not learned Alchemy, you can use Extractors laid down by other users who have.
Now, when you are mining or collecting herbs, you will have a chance to find the rare materials mentioned above.
There were a lot of other changes to professions this patch. First of all, you can now chat while mining or herb collecting. You can also use the profession UI to move directly to Meisterville (unless you are in combat or in certain maps where it is not available).
Some item’s material requirements and fatigue as well as their cooldowns have been adjusted. Essence of Twisted Time (new material introduced last patch for the new Meister items) has had its droprate increased and will now drop from any monsters or bosses level 95 or higher. Speaking of which, last patch the Meister weapons had their images copied from the Scarlet weapons, but now they have received their own designs.
The things sold by the merchant in Meisterville have been adjusted. The experience required to become a Master or Artisan has been adjusted. You can now turn the effects from the Master/Artisan system on and off if you wish. The types of elixirs you can use together has been adjusted.
The types of flowers and veins that appear on maps will now depend on the levels of the monsters there, and with higher levels, higher-grade flowers/veins will appear. New types have been added such as the Secret Vein, Secret Flower, and Secret Legendary Flower. They all drop new items that are required to create the new items added in this patch.
Mounts that require a saddle (such as the Adventurer ones, Cygnus, Aran, Evan, and Rex’s Hyena) will now be changed into ‘skill’ mounts, so they no longer require a saddle or the Monster Rider skill.
Hard Magnus’ drop rate of the Cursed Kaiserium has been increased greatly. The quests that allowed you to turn the Cursed Kaiserium into the Liberated Kaiserium has had its requirement of 150 Cursed Horn’s Aura reduced to 5.
Now, when fighting monsters, they will be more likely to drop equipment that your character can wear.
In the Cash Shop, to eliminate confusion and difficulty in choosing what to buy, all types of Cubes have been deleted. Now, there are only two new Cubes, the Red Cube and the Black Cube.
10 Red Cube Fragments can be traded in for an Advanced Potential Scroll and 20 can get you a Perfect Potential Stamp which gives 100% chance to add a line of potential to an item.
5 Black Cube Fragments gives you an Advanced Enhancement Scroll, 15 gives you a Perfect Potential Stamp, and 30 gets you a Special Additional Potential Stamp which has a 100% chance of adding Additional Potential to an item.
Red Cubes are just regular cubes I believe, they can go up to Legendary. Black Cubes however, when used, will show you the potential before and after and then you can choose which you would like to keep! They also go up to Legendary.
The Maple Mileage system has been added! Now, you will gain Mileage if you complete the following:
- Defeat Normal or Chaos Zakum
- Defeat Normal or Hard Hilla
- Defeat Normal or Chaos Horntail
- Defeat Van Leon
- Defeat Arkarium
- Defeat Normal or Chaos Pink Bean
- Defeat Normal or Hard Magnus
- Defeat Empress Cygnus
- Complete Moon Bunny’s Rice Cake PQ
- Complete First Accompaniment PQ
- Complete Traces of the Goddess PQ
- Complete Ice Knight’s Curse PQ
- Complete Forest of Poison Fog PQ
- Complete Pirate Davy Jones PQ
- Complete Escape PQ
- Complete Kenta in Danger PQ
- Complete Resurrection of the Hob King PQ
The Mileage you gather will be used in the Cash Shop. When you purchase a Cash item, you can pay up to 30% of the cost with your Mileage instead!
Three new pets have been added, Peachdillo, Lemondillo, and Greendillo!
The mastery book system has been reorganized! There are no longer specific skill mastery books, you must buy universal ones from Bucklerman in Leafre and Henesys. These books when used will allow you to choose one of your skills to increase the master level of (and it includes Maple Warrior!). Dual Blades can buy scrolls from an NPC in their base (DB scrolls will no longer be sold in the Cash Shop).
Due to the removal of Mastery Books, you can now trade them in to any Maple Admin for Mastery Book 20 and Mastery Book 30.
The requirement of skill books for all job skills including Maple Warrior and Hero’s Will has been removed. You will now learn all skills automatically upon advancing.
Certain skills such as thieves’ Fake, Luminous’ Light Shadow Guard, and Paladin’s Shield Mastery all have effects which avoid or Guard against attacks from monsters. Before, if one of these attacks inflicted a status effect, even if you successfully avoided/Guarded the attack, you would still be afflicted with the status, but now, you will correctly avoid/Guard against it as well.
Two new skill quests have been added for Adventurers. The first is at level 10 and is titled Returning to Maple Island. It gives adventurers the Return to Maple beginner skill which as you guessed, lets you teleport to Maple Island.
The second is at level 150 for Captains and is titled A True Captain’s Riding, Battleship Bomber which I assume will give you access to the new skill Battleship Bomber.

cheated to first
Cheated to 2nd Windia ftw
is anyone else annoyed that KMS jacked everything about the CMS/GMS ui that made it BETTER than that of KMS’s? I know I am. Now they get all the cool features that we thought they couldn’t get, AND ui that is both better looking AND more practical than what we got! Yay! the ONLY thing they didn’t get that CMS got out of their new ui is the extra quickslots which enable you to monitor the cooldowns of even MORE skills, but that’s like, the ONE feature we didn’t get from CMS’s UI, convenient that we don’t get the ONE thing from CMS’s UI that affects gameplay while STILL being stuck with the crappy CMS ui, which KMS now gets EVERYTHING from it that WE did, while still keeping the better ui, and, in fact, updates all RELEVANT UI to match their other ui changes.
Someone PLEASE start a Petition to change to KMS’S new UI on the maple website’s forum. Please!
HELLO?! ANYONE IN THERE?! Korea owns maplestory lol. Why can’t they make THEIR game better. Who knows, CMS might have required to pass through KMS first before launching their UI! KMS allowed u to get the UI and now you’re scolding them
P.S Cheated to 4th
You realize that Wizet can sell licensing rights for the game they develop, yes? Each company that has these rights technically owns MapleStory. If this were not the case, you would not have many of the regional variants that exist today. The particular reason why NexonKR has the majority of the updates first is because Wizet is based in Korea. Many of the companies/branches outside of Korea could try catching up, but it wouldn’t be productive since they would still be behind due to having to translate content.
cheated to 5th
UI? Seriously, GMS changed the UI making it weird at first… but now.. is alright i guess.. and…
Is Night Lord Nerf?…
Anyway, we really dun get what is going in the game developers head…. I think they are smoking weed whilst developing the game… aww man….
by the way, i think i cheated to 5th =D
Actually the HQ is in Japan, the developers are in Korea.. get your facts straight.
+ It’s not what “WE” did. CMS/GMS don’t own maplestory at all…ALL updates have to come from KMS. Besides Zen and Jett which are premium contents for your sake….
Jetts and Sengoku still don’t have Hyper Skills \=
E.g. Root abyss: everyone gets it even though CMSt got it first
The Battle Monster League: Everyone will get it even though it was first leaked by GMS and JMS will get it first
JMS’s supposed “exclusive” content Hayato and Kanna, GMS eventually got it.
It’s all the same maplestory…Why can’t they work together?
Korea is the birth place…they have the right to control the game…+ KMS probably just passed the new UI and contents and launched them first in GMS and CMS so that others can have fun faster!
Sorry i really need to think completely what i want to write before posting
cheated to 9th
For the LAST TIME. Hayato and Kanna were never meant to be exclusive to Japan. I mean, it’s evident from the fact that they referred to them as version ORIGINAL and not version EXCLUSIVE, that JMS’s developers are smart enough to realize that no content ever remains exclusive to a specific version, and eventually gets ported to other regions, and thusly in acknowledgement of that fact, called them version ORIGINAL, because it is ORIGINAL to JMS, but it will almost CERTAINLY not stay exclusive, and it DIDN’T. It was the PLAYERS that called Hayato/Kanna JMS exclusive, the developers had always called it JMS original content because they KNEW, that 99% of all supposedly “exclusive” content is eventually ported to another version.
Also, if they simply passed the new UI to CMS/GMS first, then it would have the same design in KMS that it did in GMS/CMS, and not just implement all the same features, but reworking the visuals to fit the current theme in KMS. No, what they did is took everything good about CMS’s/GMS’s UI and worked it into their OWN UI, while leaving out all the cruddy bits PLUS, they also get FULL widescreen, which there is a good chance neither GMS nor CMS is getting. Well, they left ONE good thing out, there are still only 8 quickslots instead of 12, but the only bad news is, that’s ALSO the one good thing GMS left out of the UI ports, so GMS is, once again, left with all of the bad, and none of the good, out of the deal. If GMS kept CMS’s bottom bar, then AT LEAST we’d have ONE thing over KMS, but NO. We still are limited to a mere 8 quickslots just as KMS is, KMS has the better design that neither GMS nor CMS got, plus a feature that neither GMS nor CMS will be likely to get, whilst CMS has 1 feature that neither KMS nor GMS got, and what, pray tell, did GMS get out of the UI that neither KMS nor CMS got out of it? NOTHING!
I hope you know that Nexon Korea owns MapleStory, and thus KMS is the original version. All the other servers are just their region-specific variants. By your logic, someone playing on KMS could be complaining that CMS is getting KMS content. Have you ever considered that the CMS was chosen to test planned UI changes?
Calm your ignorant national pride.
i dont think that UI is beeter than GMS ui i like the GMs ui it look better and it loook like a real mmorpg
Cheated to 4th
Also, another thing I am annoyed at: In GMS, bits, bit boxes (from the unlimited shop that give random bits), and bit cases ALL have a 30-day expiration period. I think it’s stupid. Which reminds me, Max, do bits and bit cases expire in KMS? Because when things like this expire, gear, chairs, titles, and all that, you normally “say too bad they’re time limited” when you introduce them. Also, you never ONCE mentioned them expiring in your blog, and any information I find on them that doesn’t specifically pertain to GMS (basically all info on the bits system other than those that can be found on the GMS site) doesn’t mention expiring. I mean, the info that maplewiki has on bits doesn’t mention them expiring, but it seems like it could’ve just been information from the KMS patch notes reiterated. I’m thinking GMS may have added the expiration date. So Max, I ask you, did bits, bit cases and all that expire in KMS too?
Yes, all things Bits related expire 😦
I think they’re less of like something new that everyone has to have and more like something you can try to collect if you want during events for small stat boosts. Still sorta dumb though
I’m just saying, you’re a complete bitch. Cry more.
Some good new updates! Thanks Max!
Your all STUPID
korea own the game nexon was made by koreans
they
SHARED THEIR game so be grateful and stop being winy little
Lmao. They shared their game so be greatful? Going global isn’t to be generous – at least not with an MMO. It’s to make money.
first
cheated to 13th
oh no changes to hero go fck yourself
Check this. Im read this in south perry extractions.
Raging Blow (Enraged)
Changed – damage (335 –> 268) (185+5*level –> 148+4*level)
What the hell?!
Hero’s nerf?
Hero only has 3 good moves compared to the other warriors just give them a better shout!! We don’t wanna spam rb all day.
It’s the same change as last Tespia patch.
First?
5th
Third?
Been waiting for a long time for an update that will make me start playing Maple Story again. The removal of skillbooks was a close call, but anything else… I don’t want to live on Maple planet anymore.
Wait, does that mean that the removal of Skill Books was a good thing or a bad thing?
2 words……. no refunds……
I wish they would bring back the skill quests to unlock them and having no mastery books would seem like a nice idea.
This. I’d much rather have the old aran skill quests than the mastery book system. But good thing they removed skill books 😀 That’s a good first step.
not bad lol
Ugh, the new hyperskill for snipe sucks. Snipe shouldn’t have been touched at all, and it should still be 490% x 9.
Uh….two shots at 400m each, so 800m per snipe if you are hitting cap….seems pretty good to me.
I do believe that Snipe will only be 1 hit all the time now. It got to three because of the skill that allowed an extra hit to attacks that hit multiple times.
now snipe truly got nerfed…..1 hit, 4410% only!! i doubt that anyone can hit 400m with snipe, cant even reach 200m in the first place, stupid…..wondering are they brainless or fail at calculation…
that’s not a nerf. before it only hit 3 times at 720% with a max of 50m total without hypers, and 2,160%, with a max of 150m total WITH hypers, now, it hits 4,410% with a max of 300m without hypers, and 4410% with a max of 400m with them, so its better now than before. unless your talking about the way it was in the previous TEST server update, which, of course, snipe’s changes were OBVIOUSLY always meant to come with the removal of the hyper skill that increased its hitcounts. If it wasn’t an oversight, then it’d be WAY too overpowered. We’re talking like DOUBLE Kaiser’s dps. So obviously, if you’re talking about from the last server, you can’t call it a nerf because A. it was a test server, still is, in fact, so the changes were never official, and B. You can almost GUARENTEE that they never intended snipe to keep the hyper skill that boosted its hitcount, especially since the description Nexon gave Marksmen at their R.E.D. press conference was “Master of one-hit, one-kill techniques! Marksman!”, which obviously meant marksmen would be focused around single hit skills that had high skill %s and damage caps
720%? what?
serious dont get what you saying at all… =.=” before this change it was 4430% x 3 (with hyper), max 200m x 3!! and now it is 400m x 1, and you are telling me this is better? are you nuts?
Nah it should still hit twice I think. It’s own hyper got removed, but there is still that hyper that adds an additional line to EVERY ATTACK. Ergo, 2 lines per snipe.
that passive only works on skills with more than 1 hit, they purposely remove the additional hit of snipe so that skill wont work too and it will only hit once!! so the dmg % of snipe is 1/3 of its dmg before this changes!! the new hyper skill of snipe is really useless for me, i wont even waste my points to up it!!!
Nexon needs to remove shout from hero or make it more useful…..
^This so much…. give them a Full-Map skill like Dragon Knight’s Dragon Roar or something, or just remove it all together…..
agree. even after its revamp it sucks.
the new UI is better than GMS
only lack the skills window now
not really I prefer the gms ones, except the equip…
am the only one who prefer the GMS one?O.o
Well you just commented on someone says he does too, so, it’s a mystery
he said except the eqp but i like the full one
full version
Im confused, you said you have to buy universal books from npc, and then you said “you will now learn all skills automatically upon advancing.”
skill books =/= mastery books
learn does not equal master….. stuff like advanced combo and hero’s will that you needed the brown book to get in the first place youll automatically get
Someone has never been to 4th job before…
forgot theres a difference T_T I really did’nt play for a while
These changes are so much better than GMS…
Agreed
only on the equipment menu
It’s funny, cause GMS hasn’t got the equivalent to RED yet; if you are referring to the UI update, sure it looks more crisp than Unleashed, but I’d say they are lacking one feature, and that is adding multiple SP into a skill at once. Once GMS and other serves get the equivalent to RED, they should get the crisper and more organized version of their current UI, so yeah
The Meso explosion was changed so that the mesos will directly fly at the monsters instead of stationary explosion.
Pickpocket now produces mesos even from external damage such as venom
Also, the pets will not pick up mesos produced by pickpocket
“Also, the pets will not pick up mesos produced by pickpocket”
I thought they never did. These changes are nice at least.
Thank you! I added them 🙂
Nerf Dark’s new attack
*sigh*
Only thing about these that I like is that they’re changing the throwing animations of the throws, or at least I think they are.
it just got slightly nerf, still very strong, so dont complain…
Honestly its a tiny nerf and has received a fair number of buffs since it was first unveiled, also keep in mind that its 312×4+110%maxHPx4
Cross over chain alone makes DK worlds better then it was pre-revamp.
But you can freely enough spam a 312% with 8 lines attack …
Like really man like are you like a child that wants every toy? Sorry I don’t have better metaphors lol but right now we have 200% x 5 or 6 from 155 so what’s your DeaL La Lol
Wow, everything looks so complicated. lol<
I think I prefer the old UI, but I guess I'll have to deal. The events for the red update are not listed, though they are in the patch notes. I'm happy with the events, and they are adding a new server, we get exp pots daily and a ring at 70 which you can upgrade at 130? I think. Still, unsure of the stats but everything looks decent enough. XD
Max, does the new auction hall require the use of nexon cash?< Cause that would really suck. XD
In his previous blog, it said that Maplestory (Korea) was moving to be less relied on NX like it used to be so it would make sense that the auction house be free use, hence why they are making cubes craftable. The auction house now allows regular users who don’t spend money a chance against the big FM controllers.
I haven’t tried it myself but I’m 99% sure it doesn’t.
whats up with the vengeance of angel? i didnt understand whats it doing now… if they say that when its off angel ray dmg is increased then what is it doing o.0
Basically, because it was changed last patch so that while Vengeance is activated bishops can only hit one mob. They added a damage increase buff when the skill IS NOT activated to compensate for not having that boosted mob damage.
Basically if you have it off, you get a damage boost and you can mob. If you turn it on, it becomes a soloing skill which, is stupid really all it does is lower the damage but increase the number of hits. It’s really useless now, when on. Idk why they changed it. Seems pointless.
“The requirement of skill books for all job skills including Maple Warrior and Hero’s Will has been removed. You will now learn all skills automatically upon advancing.”
^ Finally, I’m so glad they are doing this!
Although the prices of the mastery books are unreasonable. I’m a really poor bastard, can’t afford even one of those books. XD
Me too. I hate having to get those books T.T
It’s fun. They are universal, so I assume they bump ALL of your skills to 20 when you use them.
No, just one (that you choose).
Oh, thx Max. I’d rather be corrected then spout wrong information :3
These prices are UNREASONABLE? They are the prices you’d NORMALLY buy a book for in the FM, AND these ones are guaranteed to work, AND they’re able to raise the mastery of the uber expensive maple warrior, so even IF universal means they apply to ALL skills at once and not that they can work for ANY skill, or that they can work for any class, these are still better than what we’ve got right now. Also, the level 10 books were removed, and that’s even MORE cost saving.
Well for one thing, many classes (Marksman, F/P, WH, Mech) have extremely cheap mastery books. Books they would normally be paying 1m or less for now cost 14m and 20m. Yes, MW is much easier to get now, but they’re by no means the regular price of the books. Also, not all classes use skillbooks in the first place so that’s not necessarily cost saving.
Well that’s because Nexon has been slowly removing skill books over the years. Almost every class once had to get skill books at one point. For them to remove the need for skill books on let’s say Bishops to get Res, Gene, AR, & Bahamut and then 2 years later remove that need on other characters it would be unfair for bishops to say, “Well we get nothing..”
the FM prices are also unreasonable. just because you’re used to getting ripped off doesn’t mean you’re not getting ripped off.
I’m ridiculously poor too, but I like this update. 20m will take a while for me to get, but it’s certainly better than the system we have right now.
In any universe it’s good when maple warrior costs 34m from level 10 to 30 instead of 1 billion at the least, just let the babies cry
“Due to the removal of Mastery Books, you can now trade them in to any Maple Admin for Mastery Book 20 and Mastery Book 30” No meso needed just saying
Pretty nice, I quess?
Still needs to repair the damn BaM booster, tho’!
BaM still hits speedcap, its redudant either way.
give us that ui
our is fat and fugly
Evan’s skillboks were removed from the CS as well?
KMS doesn’t have Cash Shop skillbooks for Evan.
I still remember when I raged when I first found out GMS evans needed NX books
Why they don’t buff Mercedes. Only class in Maple that were SUCK and behind everyclass.
Mechs even arent touched. While I agree mercs are underpowered, mechs havent got any single buff since their hypers out
Did they seriously just nerf shade split?
I swear… that is just dumb as ****. We have no mbbing skills and they now plan to make it even weaker? Our taunt is also crap since it doesnt stack with SP… They better make some change with the mobbing skills or people are going to cry…
And why is that NL in the login screen smiling! he should be having a frown not a smile…
They changed our throw animations!!!
The new Frailty Curse or whatever is the new mob attack.
lol, Phantom is like 1 of the worst class yet he is always smiling. 0.0
Amen. Not only did we receive the short end of the stick, they just downright took the stick from us.
You know, except that they fixed the SP problem with taunt a while ago
Shade Split is now effectively weaker than even Shuriken Burst: our 2nd job mobber.
Taunt has been working with SP since the last Tespia update. They made a stealth server-sided fix, so you would only see it in the newer videos of the previous Tespia update. It’s now our primary 4th job mobbing skill.
THIS PATCH IS MORE THEN I CAN HANDLE IVE GOT ALL I WANTED FROM MAPLESTORY TY INKWELL YOU GOODLOOKING BASTARD
Max Universal Skill Book 20/30 = You advance, buy a 20 and 30 book. Use 20 book= all skills max LV=20? then use the and and they are LV30?
TY FOR BRINGING THIS DELIGHT TO US THEY SHOULD NAME REVOLUTION DELIGHTFULNESS
Max, Universal…**
I really have to ask.. Max, is that really how it works? One book for all skills? Or technically two books*..?
No it’s 2 books for each skill because the 20/30 books only work for one skill (that you choose).
Thank you. :3~
Nah it’s just one skill (that you choose) whose master level will be increased.
Reblogged this on Blog Of A Geek.
BTW Max, did it say anything about the cubes being like the Strange Cubes we have now. The Strange Cubes has a chance to degrade the potential tier so does the new cubes do this as well.
Nope they don’t have a chance to lower the rank 🙂
The music sounds soooo good!!!
Wait what do red cubes and black cubes do Max? I can’t read korean sorry LOL
I added a bit more information about them 🙂
Whelp nexon officially just made Nightlord even weaker. QT is even slower….
Shade split looks even more out of place now… Bullshit!
Throw animations aren’t show as fast as they are while attacking with Booster.
Shade split is only used until 4th job now which is a good improvement.
They changed the stars to a stream of them like old timez.
I bet you are a teenager.
Your lack of knowledge is showing. The person was actually spot on. QT went from 600 ms at faster (2) to 750 ms at faster (2). That is a 25% nerf on the attack speed. Shade Split has become weaker than even Shuriken Burst (a 2nd job mobber) now, so I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish by lowering the hits from 3 to 1. TT might have been changed to pre-Justice form, but QT has been made into a not so great animation now. There’s a hop step you create as you fire with the skill, while creating an “x”.
Just in case if you dont believe us. Taken from Southperry for QT
Changed – Delay (quadrupleThrow – 780 ms –> quadrupleThrow – 990 ms)
And why the fuck do they jump when using QT?
Because they CAN and it’s FREE.
I think being able to make cubes is a step in the right direction to say the least
NOOO OUR SNIPE! HOW IT WILL BE ?T_T D: we lost damage now with 4410% not 490%x9
but ok that’s a balancing f3
Uh…if you are hitting cap this is a buff. it’s 800m per Snipe.
I tot is NERF…onli 1 hit 400m max, u nvr read the skill Addtional Bolt details-Increases number of hits by 1 for those skills HIT MORE THAN ONCE? They change the Snipe Bonus Attack to Limit Cancellor…if they dnt change the hyper sure better, i rather they change back to 200m one with 3 hits.
But it is SNIPE. It should only hit once but hit very high. It is pretty fair considering the fact snipers have unlimited snipe. With Unimited snipe, they can easily take 1st place in 1vs1 %-wise
in other words, snipe is meant to be noob, useless, and thats what they are doing to it…..as if someone can reach 400m….previously can do 200m x 3 lo, much better, totally useless change, or should i say ultimate nerf? now everything is back to before…..increase damage cap is DAMN BLOODY USLESS for those who can deal high dmg, I DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT THE DAMAGE CAP!! up till now, snipe is still considered nerfed!! 490% x 10 (50m x 10) (before RED) to 4410% x 1 (400m x 1 if it is even possible to reach 400m) (after RED), balancing?? my ass la….obviously serious nerf…
Before RED: 510% x 10 = 5100%, defense ignore: 40%, damage cap: 50m
After RED: 4430% x 1 = 4430%, defense ignore: 20%, damage cap: 400m
Those with brain and know how to use it know which one is better!!
bro it’s 4900% damage not 5100% the extra 20%dmg goes to ur rang
what you mean goes to the range? 490%+20%??
For exemple with 10k rang and without that bonus is :10×4,9(snipe)x1,5(critical) so 73,5K each hit in avarage, but with the hyper you get 20%dmg in ur rang so 12kX4,9X1,5>88,2k in avarage each hit not like in the skill(that’s lower bonus)10kX5,1X1,5>76,5K it’s like nothing compared to 20%dmg, so the more rang the more bonus got it?
but what you said is the damage range is 12k with the hyper oh, my damage range didnt change with or without the 20% from the hyper skill. so you mean 1.2×73.5k? are you really sure of this? if it is so, that means the number of hits does not affect the dmg increase from the 20% since it is your damage deal +20%, if that is what you mean?
the bonus is passive for only that skill so it won’t incrase ur rang, if you have a bonus attack it have the bonus %dmg in ur rang as well
look:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMyj6DvnrjM at 06:00~~06:35 there’s what you wanna i see i think
but yayy for bishops we won’t be bad at mobing, i thinked what was going to happen to us with hyper hitting only 1 monster
I don’t think you understand how your bishop hyper works.
Basically, AR is still a regular mob attack skill that hits more than 1, but when Vengeance of Angel (toggle hyper skill) is on, your AR is changed to hit 1 monster with lots more damage (great for bossing). When you switch it off again, AR is changed back to normal, hitting less damage on more mobs.
so it’s just more mob? ”Vengeance of Angel: in addition to existing effects, while this skill is not active Angel Ray’s damage will be increased” so wouldn’t it stay near to the same as with the old one?
It’s more of a link between VA & AR like if you up VA then AR’s damage when VA is off and when VA is on is both boosted by the passive on VA.
isnt it when VA is active u get 4 more hits, so wen its not active u just get more damage
but what damage?D: i saw a video but i don’t seens to get more damage look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GZ2uHb6-Iq0
now corsairs wil have the new snipe f7
ok buccs are good but man corsairs get much revamp
mna marksman lose dmg to get def and lose mroe dmg in 1×1 skill
seriously nothing to say about marksman…..slight buff, unnecessary changes, and a big nerf is what they got…..snipe noob now…
they want do the balancing
ya, you can call it balancing, but i call is a nerf…
as if that really do balance things!!
well look it’s not a nerf we got stuff so we may stay the same with snipe ‘0’
It is a buff to Live Snipe, and a nerf to what they first proposed. So, in the end, it’s a buff.
dont get what you said at all…
man in general is a buff but in the last uptated of this tests it was a nerf like it’s 4900% but you don’t have much bonus compared to after the all changes so even with 4410% in one hit it still better
Corsair gets a new and improved Battle Ship Skill.
Buccaneer is still stuck without a new and improved Transformation Skill.
Where is JUSTICE!!!!! Dx
Wait Max. You said that they expanded the storyline for explorers? Are you saying that there originally WAS a storyline? Also, what about higher level explorers? How will they start the storyline?
You should read my last post about Tespia for the Adventurer storyline 🙂
I think you can just do it regularly?
Ok thanks for the help. Was a little confused there 😀
Always complaining, complaining, complaining and complaining…
because seriously very unsatisfied with the changes!!, better still dont make this change!!
Max does the new universal mastery books have a % chance to be successful? Or is it automatically 100% chance or in other words, did they remove the chance for a successful upgrade?
100% I think
“The Mileage you gather will be used in the Cash Shop. When you purchase a Cash item, you can pay up to 30% of the cost with your Mileage instead!”
They can seriously go fuck themselves, i was expecting to be able to buy minor stuff with it (of course, not gacha, or weddings) but where’s the “less money-oriented” bullcrap you wrote on a previous post, Max?
still…. no nx = no win
I too wonder about that
its basicly a 30% off discount coupon for those who play a lot?
They have discounts all the time, why is this different? you still need to have NX to even use the mileage, so what’s the point of it anyway?
The less money-oriented comes with craftable cubes and having a free to use auction house instead of the FM Hired salesmen.
“They can seriously go fuck themselves”? Why? Because they want to make money? Honestly they give us a 30% off coupon (basically) and you want more? How spoiled are you? Keep in mind this is a free to play game, how else do you think they’re going to make money now that they removed the need for nx cubes?
Still waiting on Zero or the Night Walker revamp.
Night Walker/Flame Wizard Revamp won’t probably be until Fall or Winter Updates.
Would make more sense for them to be filler during fall. Definitely not winter material.
I’m sorry Max, so… how do you get maple warrior (20/30) now?
The 20/30 books sold by Bucklerman work for MW too.
Max, the universal books upgrade all skills’ mastery level?
Or do we need to choose one skill?
You choose one
Are you guys happy now that Buccs are half-assed DBZ themed pirates? Thanks a lot for ruining a punching and brawling class with lasers and this stupid energy charging crap. They could’ve made Buccs into a martial artist/Gung Fu pirate but you overly nostalgic DBZ freaks ruined the class. Good job.
And yeah Nexon you suck. BIG TIME.
You obviously didn’t play buccs when they first came out.
You could go “super sayan” in 3rd job and “super sayan 2” in 4th.
There was “gum-gum barrage” in 4th job
And there may have been more that I missed
Buccs originally were the cartoon network anime class.
Anddd this is why Buccs still have their their stupid transformed spirit. DBZ sucks get over it.
“DBZ sucks get over it.”
You are making a general statement when that is just your opinion. And Frankly, your opinion doesn’t matter with a lot of people anyway.
Though I do agree with what you said about pirates what pirates could have been.
what happened to cygnus returns?
Max, the new BGM for Maple Island is beautiful . 😮
How do you fix warriors and mages yet fuck up every other adventurer… this is some bullshit. Just cancel RED please…
Ha. Knew they wouldn’t be so nice to make maple ‘fun for non-cash players too’.
30% from Mileage only? Well well, wheres that non-cash players included in that.
Well you can now make cubes
Max, NL’s Dark Flare activates every 0.9 seconds, not 0.3 seconds. Also, it’s weird that Shad’s Dark Flare would have a higher skill percentage for their summon effect.
I’ve also looked at extractions, and see no increase of the duration on Bleeding Toxin.
It’s sad that the crummy Hyper Skill only lasts 30 seconds with a 90 second cooldown.
Fixed! And yeah they mentioned it in the patch notes but it’s not in game… maybe next patch.
oh no changes to i/l go fck yourself
Still no mech changes (guess they really forgot the class)
Mechs do need a revamp, but right now kms is focusing on adventurers
Even though it said so in the extractions, from what I had seen from the videos, Shade Splitter stills hit for 3 times (6 with SP). Some pretty neat tweaks they did to some skills.
However, why is QT slower now? Jump shooting now seems pretty sluggish and we could no longer attack as fast on a single target. I would rather do without the changes to QT (& animation) and revert to the previous patch.
Yup, n still nothing to help with the survivability of the ranged classes. At least Dark Flare could be tweaked to reduce a small amount of damage while active. That would actually help.
There will likely be a stealth server-sided fix in the next few days for Shade Split (to make it hit only 2 times with SP). They stealth fixed SP not affecting Taunt in the previous Tespia update, but glitched Shade Split in the process making it overpowered (you could see it hitting like 15 times with SP).
As for QT being sluggish, no NL will ever know. It’s a stupid change, regardless, and they should revert it back to the previous Tespia update.
Also, no survivability is a killer on NL’s. We have zero Evasion Rate, no damage reduction, and no defensive multiplying skills at all compared to the rest of the Thieves that have at least one, or all of them.
i have to say that i agree with both of you. the only skills we ever get is enveloping darkness that increase hp by 20% & reduce most magical dmg taken and status resistance by 30%, and fake.
i wish they could do some tweaking to the already existing skills. even making us not affected by status effects when fake is activated seems nice.
bleeding toxin was buffed but the effects are still not as great as what i would expect from a hyper skill. at least 4 seasons was altered slightly in favour of us, but it still seems weird that we still have to attack in the middle, when they change all our skills to attack from the sides (i do kind of prefer attacking from the middle if my nl have enough hp to tank tho).
and omg, wtf just happened to QT, our main 1v1 skill -_-ll it is just plain terrible. hoping for the next patch to resolve things.
I noe what u mean but it still nerf…last time snipe 10 hits 50m each, then they change to 200m 3 hits, now is 400m 1 hit…they hardly can they also changed the animation of it…it’s delay a bit…
On top of that Corsair also have headshot cd removed 5 hits 50m each= 250m? Xbm get onli 400m it is totally turn arnd plus Headshot animation have increased speed…
man you just think in cap damage -.- ppls just think in cAP DAMAGE STOP IT PLZ! look more for it over %damage man it’s like 1% of the maple will do 400m in it even the pros may not do 400kk and 300kk is enough in my opinion f3
May not do 400kk and 300kk? u r the one who say cant reach max cap?
Before RED patch snipe is 490% 10 hits- ppl oredi hit the max 50m each…now is 4410% and u think they wont reach max cap agn =1 hit, Sharp eye also increase max dmg for it much more easier to reach 400m juz 1 hit.
man peoples won’t lose so much damage, i didn’t see any marksman hitting 50m normaly they would do 30m each hit, i don’t say about not reaching that cap but you just see the cap damage, it’s too far compared to before, so %dmg is better to see than hit that can change a lot
do you even hit 40m each hit?if you do your’re one of few ppls that can do that, if not why are you even complainning?
thats the point…..normal people cant even reach the cap, so the dmg cap increase hyper is TOTALLY USELESS compared to additional hit!!
sorry they(pros) can do 300m and 400m but this will be just a few right?
please la…. 1st place in 1 vs 1? dont make me laugh can?? so noob 1st place?
Yeah.
you mean that snipe isn’t 1place?i didn’t undurstand f6
nvm, i saw it but ye that’s balancing so not 1 place i think
it is even pro enough in the first place, and now it just became worse, and you were saying 1st? top 5 also can laugh d…marksman is NEVER 1st in anything….
^not*
man snipe still OP but not as before, if you see my self was doing too much for my eqps and stuff, so it’s the balancing
marksman are supposed to be very good in 1 vs 1 or single target, but even with the old snipe which is stronger, we can hardly compete with the new jobs. We are good in nothing else you know? With snipe nerf that means our strength also decrease, the significant is still not know, but the dpm ranking surely will drop!! You think it is not serious, but actually it affects a lot!!
then among the 5 adventurer who qualify for first place???
compare with every jobs….
man try to not compare jobs are diferent by a lot sometimes
if you say so, then how is balancing of every jobs possible? think deeper please… =.=”
New! Head Shot – Cooltime Reduce: Head Shot’s cooldown is removed.
Captains are going to be the new XBM 😛
rela ye, now marksmans have someone to talk with 😀 even the nerf we still OP with the spamming snipe xD
the worst revamp was not the dmg (4900%>4410%) but the hits that made you better with ur critical, i really hope that our expert still 15% minimum critical dmg f3
you are too optimistic….hope less or complete dont hope at all, i lost hope in it every time…..
it’s not my problem if you quit….or you didn’t?
of course you wouldnt be bothered, why would you care anyway?…..I will decide that after seeing the 5th job, if it comes out….
care in what? 5 job may take a long time
care whether i quit or not…..i think 5th job will be released within 2-5 months time
Why r NLs nerfed T_T
That nerf to Dark knights Gungnir was a bit ridiculous.
How long have they been waiting for a fair revamp? You drop the skills dmg by 18%?
Nexon you act as if the skill is spammable 24/7 in the first place.
Stop being asses and give them a spammable skill if your going to drop %’s on it.
For heavens sake they cant even use Spears for the simple fact that most polearms are faster. Stop bullshitting on Dark knights. Again and again over and over you always fuck up with Dark knight or pallys and Hero’s are never on that list of fuck up. Gtfo out of here nexon Bull shit changes.
that -18% on Gungnir was kinda stupid. You also have a point about spears also, I always wanted to use one but they are so much slower…
stop being a whiny bitch.
He may be a bit whiny but he has a point. Whether you’d like to agree or not Mr. keyboard warrior.
man it’s just 18% damage that you lost, that skill is OP 2720%dmg is a lot, also you have more 60% from bersek or new invencibility skill, like hero skill it got nerfed because it was too OP also snipe was too OP so they nerfed it, RED also take the balancing, but ppls just see the last uptate no the overal revamp , when the revamp come it will be all not only one thing f3
Exactly though if its just 18% what was the point in taking it away…
I don’t see why they don’t just make gungnir spammable without this sacrifice crap.
18% is just a tiny nerf compared to what some other jobs received… Yes, I agree a new skill is supposed to be awesome and stuff and cool looking! But surely the application for that particular new skill can’t be just another old “smash the button” skill. It’ll be boring very soon. Surely, you gotta accept the fact that even if you don’t have Beholder’s healing stuff, Power Elixers are more than enough to keep your HP at near maximum most of the time, except that when you’re fighting bosses with Potions Cooldown in their maps. Nexon is trying to make things fun in a way that they put Specialized skills to make things unique, such as Hero having more applications with their Combo Orbs, Dark Knights should utilize their Beholder as well, and not just let it stay by your side like before, you’re able to actually use the Beholder itself. Sacrifice is a good application for Dark Knight’s Beholder.
they are simply making it less op. stop being a whiny bitch whining about everything. you don’t like the play-style of the dark knight, then don’t play it. who needs you anyway?
snipe worse than before RED!! i rather they keep that skill untouched!!! not say marksman pro even with the old snipe and you say the new snipe is OP, very funny indeed….
Some people will of course say that other jobs were OP before their nerfs for the sake of defending the powers of their favourite class. Its only natural that people compare and complain that their favourite job is “weaker” or other jobs are way stronger in hopes that the creator listens to them. Agree that some jobs are obviously OP, but some jobs aren’t OP but people still complain about them. That Snipe you talk about from Crossbow Master was never OP except for the fact that Hyper Skill made it 0secs cooldown. However, I strongly disagree that Dark Knights’ 18% damage nerf on their Gungnir Descent is going to be a DRASTIC nerf for them, even though their beloved Berserk was removed, the effects and part of the damage boost is shifted to Reincarnation, and Cross Over Chains is more than enough to make up for it by doubling the damage most of the time (Admit it, you keep your HP at near max most of the time with Power Elixers), so I actually don’t see any point why Dark Knight lovers(I love all warriors) should be complaining about the new changes. As said, Nexon would listen to their players and try to balance out as much as possible rather than previously, letting different jobs have their own time to shine each patch and taking turns to be OP(Like how Xenon previously made bosses look like normal monsters in videos and currently being no different than an average non-funded Adventurer after being nerfed.)
Crossbow Master early cnt spawn snipe…onli then till lvl 195 then can spawn with 0 sec cooldown…as for Dark Knight’s Gungnir Descent it is spammable if Reincarnation or Sacrifice are active 18% is an average affect…if wan compare to snipe 10 hits x 490% which max cap 50m each last time and now the new snipe is 4410% = 4xx% and max cap onli 400m.. Obviously tis is a total NERF for Crossbow Master.
you are right, but why say that to me? o.o
you know what’s stupid? all those people who call dark knights overpowered with their 2720% damage skill (spammable for 2/3rds of the time, by the way) and then complain about snipe being only 4410%, oh how poor them. and I agree, being a dark knight, this 18% nerf on damage is so irrelevant, but what bugs most people here is the ability to cry at nerfs. Though I do find funny that they really had to give this small smash to drks, seeing as a damage reduction totally makes up for what they pointed out as the real problem (keeping health at max – is there even a problem in that?), and after the curious number that at first was 443%, setting it at a “normal” number such as 330% was so irritant they felt like lowering it not even to a round number, but to a senseless 312%. am I the only one to catch the fun in this?
ye man, also they’re balancing the jobs, so a nerf in snipe isn’t that bad, but if they do final attack work in it i’m sure much marksmans wil love this :), also who can do 400m ?it may be not hard but 400m is enough isn’t it?
as you said, for unfunded people 400m is IMPOSSIBLE!! POINTLESS!! dmg % is better, and anyway, it is still a nerf
bro there’s the new changes(%dmg per rang and the skill that up 20%max critical) so isn’t a nerf, for 1×1 skill prob stay the same but for area it’s great
also at 1v1 rate you get more 20%dmg(if the enime is 80 rang or more from you)
that is other skills, i saying snipe… =.=”
and all that you mentioned not enough cant cover up 490% also…
in general the revamp can cover 490%dmg
Wait, headshot has its damage output doubled AND the cooldown reduced? Is this able to replace rapid fire as the bossing skill?
They are never going to give up PhaseDash, are they.. fucking hell.
Why not just call Meso Explosion , mesos twister? Cuz I clearly don’t see an explosion.
coins explode on impact. this skill is stupid now. it used to make sense with that shadowy guy blowing them up. now 2 ninjas appear, spin around till the coins fly at the enemy, and finally exploding. exploding coins, wtf?
“this skill is stupid now. exploding coins, wtf?”
The coins always exploded .-.
It’s meso explosion. Of course the coin explodes you dumb twat
whats that with milliage is it like a discount that takes 30% off the nx item’s price and u have to pay the 70% with actual nx or did i read it wrong
Big Bang: damage has been increased from 427% to 480%
Wasn’t it 375% before it got changed? Is this just for testing?
What are ingridients to craft cubes and flames? 😮
DREAMS DO COME TTTTRRRUUEEEEE….No more Mastery books….That nightmare is over also….that See boss dmg and ignore def thing,
GMS got that but those new things are cool too.
inb4 5th job needs Mastery books
Max can you please tell me if by Universal Books does that mean that a 20 book will max all skills to LV20 and so on?
No just one skill at a time (that you choose).
I thought bowmasters got changes as well?
Oh there was one that I missed, Arrow Platter’s installed duration was increased from 20 to 30 seconds. I’ll add it now 🙂
People still crying about snipe…this is hilarious.
Oh and I just noticed all the Night Lord nerfs. Poor guy! < He looks worse than GMS angelic buster. Now I have no idea what adventurer I want to make. :L
Make an F/P dude, they just got more OP with RED.
Awww y they change Quad throw…… now it wont give me the same feeling as it once did 😦
“The Maple Mileage system has been added! Now, you will gain Mileage if you complete the following: *list of things I’ll never do*
yep, useless as expected. when none of your friends have any interest in a game, and you can’t stand the ineptitude of pubbies, “party-only” content is a waste. alas for mmo devs not understanding that it’s not always reasonable to expect people to be able to find a party.
also, the pricetags on those universal books are absurd. a non-cheating player who doesn’t cash-and-scam via the free market/auctionhouse is effectively bankrupted by a single skill. they took a good idea and managed to make it suck anyway.
Two things. 1. I noticed that Recoil Shot is still in the Gunslinger’s skill set. Is there even a real point to having this skill with us having a Octopush? let us use 20 points on something better. 2. I feel sorry for the Islanders who have spent all this time playing the game the way they wanted to. Now any beginner can return to the island at any time and pretend that they have been there the whole time. I guess it’s time for Islanders to join the rest of society.
Recoil Shot is actually a lot more useful for dodging due to its easy-to-control distance.
Sure I will be using Octopush for traveling now, but I will still revert to Recoil Shot if I am in need of dodging any attacks.
So Max, can you give me the answer about cubes/flames ingredients? :I
Artisan’s Cube:
Premium Item Crystals
Cube Fragments (extract Strange Cubes)
Blades of Chaos (dunno where this comes from)
Advanced Abrasive
Master’s Cube:
Premium Item Crystals
Cube Fragments (extract Strange Cubes)
Strong Blades of Chaos (dunno where this comes from)
Advanced Abrasive
Strong Flame of Reincarnation
Charm Crystal (dunno where this comes from)
Pieces of Reincarnation (extract Flames)
Intermediate Scroll Essence (extract scrolls)
Unquenchable Flames (from the new flowers)
Eternal Flame of Reincarnation
Charm Crystal (dunno where this comes from)
Pieces of Reincarnation (extract Flames)
Advanced Scroll Essence
Eternal Unquenchable Flames (from the new flowers I think)
And here I thought the Mileage system was gonna be revolutionary…
For once, I actually dislike Nexon. Curses be to you for teasing me like that!
I noticed the Bishop’s Angel Ray animations from 1.2.478 and 1.2.480 doesn’t run as smooth..
is this the final changes they’re gonna make for all the adventurer’s skills? or will there be more before the actual release?
They better change QT back, cuz the QT is the only reason I play NL
Why do peoples still looking just the last upate, the QT went 293% dmg to 373%(something like that) and also the specialized skill… so i think it’s ok the delay get a litte hither(you trow all trowing stars at almost the same time)
293% to 378%. You have clearly never played a NL before. One of our traits is jump attacking, and the increase in delay kills any hopes of that smoothness. If they wanted to nerf QT, they could’ve went after the skill percentage and lower it from 378% to mid-300’s or so.
Exactly, idc if they change QT back to 293% , I just want the smoothness of the jump attacking, this delay gets rid of that smoothness
Have you tried accounting booster?
Yes I did, you cant Jump, *kill* *kill* anymore, now its jump 1 *kill*, jump 1 *kill*, horrible animation
Most Claws are fast (4), and the only normal (6) Claw is a Garnier (level 10). You hit the speed cap of faster (2) with Claw Booster. 780 ms at normal (6) is now 990 ms at normal (6). 600 ms at faster (2) is now 750 ms at faster (2). That’s a big difference, and the attack speed is cut by 25%. I’m just stating these facts because not many people know how to account for attack speed delays in this game.
As with your question, it makes QT much harder to jump attack with. It’s hard enough with current Shade Split in gMS (which is 690 ms at faster (2)). This is 60 ms slower, and ironically, the new Taunt is 750 ms at faster (2). From the new videos, most people can see it’s hard enough to jump attack with it. The same can be said with this new QT.
but it looks quite fast to me, and you have the dmg % to cover the att speed
Are they still going to revamp dual blades and cannoneers?
idk prob not, DBs was already OP and cannoers got much better in the last revamp(with DS also)
If they even think about giving dual blades the slightest buff they better sure as hell revamp Phantom
phantom isn’t bad
Max can you put the SE hyper changes?since it began plox?i don’t know how it is in the site(southperry)
It’s on Southperry, and it’s only a BM change. Also, SE Hyper is still the same. It’s still an increased % Critical Rate, but they just changed the variables around in the extractions (e.g. cr% > x%).
more points to piercing arrow then :D?f6?
but what critical is that?maybe can be good….
It’s the same % Critical. Variables in the data changed, but the values stayed the same.
Well Dark knights have waited years for a revamp like this for nothing. Shitty nexon goes and nerf them… Not like Gungnir is spammable at all times…
it’s just 18% dmg… and marksmans lose 490% and they undurstand it, heros as well(lose the bonus from enrage so just speed attack)
the problem is more about the damage cap it self than the lower damage to balance
Okay Paladin got Buffed Again! They should nerf him though, cuz he cant be as close to as strong as hero since pally has survivability.
I am for this,
there should be a larger gap in offensive capabilities between the two classes.
Max do you know if: Illusion Step: new passive effect of ignoring 20% damage taken from monsters has been added – works how puppet did and ignore 20% of the actual damage delt to me so if i got 1/1 ill still have 20% health left or is it just a 20% damage reduction, that i wont be able to visually see?
I think it should work the same way as Elite Puppet since they moved it from that skill! I can test it out when it comes to the real server (if you remind me) 🙂
Ok, thank you and i will ^.^
Nexon what is your deal with not knowing how to balance the 3 warriors?
How in the hell is the defensive class pally, shit on the Dark knight? Thats stupid im done with this game , ive been waiting since chaos for The 3 classes to finally be balanced but you just keep fucking up. Take my maple acc who ever wants it.

is that gms? XD
Im with you dude this is really stupid. I rather just quit though.
So few videos of marksman but so easy to find other job’s videos…..this proves that marksman really unpopular because not good enough…..
Right… Korea may be the place of birth for this wonderful game (dun get me wrong, i love this game.) but NexonKR developers are making lots of stupid changes… because they want to attract more players to play instead of dying out. Obviously.
Anyway, the changes they made are… well kinda… meh and boo and wahh… but i really do have to say, JMS making Sengoku classes are awesome… They are, i can say the most completely original job classes in my opinion. They all uniquely Japanese. but GMS, for whatever reason took the job… and With the UNLEASHED update, making HAYATO job classes BUGGED… Do you know how fucking annoying when you cannot unlock its potential.
ANYWAY, i do not know anything about CMS or what soever they are doing… Usually, what comes out in korea, the worlds gets it. of course, regional MS get their own ‘Special’ content. But then again…. when one regional got that content… other regional MS may get it if they wanted to…
just to say, hayato and kanna are or was test classes also the KOCs it self can be testes(the new revamp) to get it to other classes, if you see there’s buch of skills that was from thoose 2 that they used for kaiser lum and maybe AB but also for much hyper skills man i can list some skills here if you want
maybe KOCS aren’t test classes at all but like the new ”hurricane for mob” like the sky song(i think that’s the name) from WA
Interesting to see that Corsairs are actually neglected enough for people to not take notice of Corsair’s more drastic buff-up compared to all other classes.
3 type of Warriors, only Paladin shines the brightest, following by Dark Knight and the last,Hero. Come on Nexon at least give us back the Enraged Raging Blow and make Shout into a nicer AOE skill or make it a party skill effect that give us a bossing buff or any buff that useful.
how bad i hope marksman have a single good AOE skill!!
R.I.P Hero
Well finally the corsair crew members will actually be useful in providing damage!
Hey Max, I was wondering. The new mastery bookshop books are trade-able right? When you trade in old mastery books for the new ones, are they trade-able as well?
Hey Max, I was wondering. The mastery books bought in the shop are trade-able right? What about the books you receive when you trade-in old ones?
Wound shot slows now max. Not sure if u ever mentioned this
Funny, yet sad how Heros are the “offensive focused class” yet Paladin and Dark Knight do almost just as much damage as them…. Why should I make an Hero again? Just to spam Raging Blow? lol Paladin has the ultimate defence and Dark Knight have their survivability in addition to their great damage, so being an Hero just seems pointless at the moment… This is coming from an Hero/Crusader since 2006 …
Also why not make Self Recovery 5% HP and MP like Kaiser, instead of 1000 HP and 400 MP?? Just seems dumb the way it is at this point….
I feel you, I’ve been playing Hero around that time too… Hero only had Power Guard as their defensive skill(stance just gives convenience) as it reduces damage received by a certain percentage. Paladins always had their ultimate defense and Dark Knights has their good survivability as well… And still does the same amount of damage as Hero now. There really isn’t a point playing Hero anymore if the offensive class deals equal or less damage than defensive classes. Dammit man… 😦
😦 i am seriously considering changing to Paladins when this patch approches, cus it just seems more convenient for bossing, both solo and in party… Makes me sad, since i really love the Hero class, but they just seem unneccesary 200+ 😦
Might as well play Paladin since Paladin’s damage is now higher than Hero, and the defense is still as high as ever. I really love the Hero class though, the reddish and flaming attacks really suited the typical ‘burning passion’ of a Hero, and Incising made things even cooler!
…it feels like shade split should hit like three or four times because of the animation
It should, and Shade Split is now out-damaged by Shuriken Burst in 2nd job because of the nerf on the hits.
Hey Max how is Chief Bandits Dark Flare 360% , while Hermits is 280% of damage per every .09 secs
No one knows. It’s just Nexon being Nexon.
Shade split will be useless if its damage has 213% and only hits once.
Might as well stick with shuriken burst which has 330% damage and does one hit and it is a
second job skill.
Not “will”, but “is” would be the correct term. Not to mention that Shuriken Burst is the fastest attacking skill on a NL (540 ms at faster (2) speeds) vs. Shade Split (630 ms at faster (2) speeds). There’s no point of using Shade Split until it’s reverted back to 3 hits.
I think giving mileage for completing party quests was a wise idea, as it seems few people actually do the party quests.
Nexon must really hate Night Lords since they get the scarps of the plates. Night lords have a much slower quad throw. Have a really cheap mob skills until 4 job ( but it is not shadow partnerable ). There toxic Venom is only 30 secs and it has a 90 sec cool down ( the extra 30 attack is kinda pointless). Aswell they get no new skills active skill. ( Taunt is not really a new skill ).
take your head outta your ass, kid. 30 attack is nothing? hah. just quit. nobody needs you.
You are the one that nobody needs. Have you ever even tried or watch others play a NL? I seriously doubt so because if you had, you will know that the boost in dmg in QT and the extra 30wa can hardly offset the increased in delay. Smooth and continuous jump-shooting has been a sin/mit/NL trademark since this game started in 2003. It is all about mobility. This is the reason why the initial TT in 4th job and the QT after thief revamp have the same, if not, close delays to the original L7.
Yep sure, 30wa is something. Compare it with most of the active hyper skills buff around, and let me know how that “something” of yours looks in comparison with them.
Yup. L7 has always been 600 ms at faster (2). So has TT until Justice where it was nerfed from 600 ms to 660 ms. QT has also been 600 ms up until this Tespia update where it’s now 750 ms at faster (2). To think that your 4th job 1v1 would be the slowest of your 1v1 skills is inconceivable.
They ruined the style of Night Lords, idc if its stronger, its not the same anymore. This is just like the unpopular changes to BaM (Luckily kms changed it back)
there actually weaker in mob and playing style
IT is pointless because you cant spam it. 30 secs with a minute cool down is a joke as well having less speed for quad throw and less attack counts for our mob skills doesnt help
Nexon finally shows everyone they cant balance any of the existing warrior classes…
not only warriors….every job also kind of unbalance…..It is just a dream to balance every jobs and wont be achieved…..
Deleting all cubes…that’s extreme
I wonder if we’re better off buying Master Hyper Super Uber Cubes now or wait for the new cubes
Sure, guess you don’t want to boss on your Marksmen
Max, any idea how Theme Dungeons that rewarded the player with MMB for your class, work now with the specific mastery books deletion?
why is bowmaster so weak as usual.. hias………
they are not weak
some other jobs also weak….
they loses out to lots of classes. they should improve and give more better skill to bowmaster.
And they win quite a handful too. Here is my recommendation to you, go and sign up to be a GM. You can pawn all the other classes as much as you want to. Stop whining when your class have received so much updates compared to other classes that deserves more.
i bet they are out of idea….archers class has the least jobs you know….and none of the archers are really out standing or over powered, they should change this…i think it is better to buff the current skills than giving new skills that ain’t pro…..
Now all depends on 5th job….It will determine whether the “complete balancing of every jobs” can be achieved or not, but i think not possible….
lets just hope they will give something real good for bowmaster at 5th job!
my advice to you is hope less, or you will be disappointed, seriously….
Do secret veins drop cube fragments? o-o
Nexon dear, don’t promise us something you can’t deliver. If you can’t perfectly balance all the jobs, don’t say or promise that you will because it gives players false hope.
they does that all the time….since the game was create, it has been 10 years, balancing every jobs had always been the target they wanted to achieve, thats why maple had so many revamps and skill changes, but in the end this turns out….admit it, we all know the result, perfect balance is impossible given several problems…all that will change from these changes is the ranking of the jobs and the complains from the various players….
those new pets are cute ❤
Lets nerf Hurricane by increasing the delay between arrows by 25%, and buff it’s damage % by 1.3 times. It still looks quite fast to me.
Or a more logical example since Hurricane is a key-down skill, lets nerf Snipe / Raging Blow / Midnight Carnival by increasing its delay by 25%, and then buff it by increasing its damage % by 1.3 times. How would you like that? You have the % damage, but is that enough to make up for the loss in attack speed? Especially when the class affected is one that relies heavily on it? Not to mention NLs, I will rage even if this happens to my Hero.
“It looks quite fast to me” is only from your point of view, relative to, I don’t know, maybe your ability to process things. You should perhaps, try out a few more classes to really understand what is the core of each class, and what each class lacks.
man they revamped all the class so the main attack can be the same but there’s bonus that you didn’t have+hurricane can attack with the plator skill(idk the name hurricane of bowmaster) so it’s a lot more even if it’s bigger the delay compared to hurricane still good, marksman got the damage by rang, by single targer/rang and more so isn’t a nerf at all, NL got a revamp in hyper skill, purge area and there’s the specialized skill, well ok it may be slower they may change it
raging blow got delay?that i know it got damage and more speed at 1×1
if midnight carnival got they want shadowers to use and did snipe got delay?don’t think so+it was OP with it spamming but even the overal revamp make it stronger at least in a good range from the mob/boss
i think carnival didn’t got delay did it?
obviously some pple can’t read that it was a few eg. to show how devastating a nerf in att speed could be, even tho they may increase the % of the skill. tats the reason he brought in different classes to try to compare and contrast.
btw, i like ur sarcasm 🙂
what do you mean by sarcasm?
Let’s compare pre-RED QT to this nerfed QT, and let me know what you think.
Pre-RED QT was 293% at faster (2) speed of 600 ms.
750 / 600 = 25% nerf in attack speed.
Replicate this 25% on the nerfed QT to account for the increase in delay (600 to 750).
(1 – 0.25) * 378 = 283.5% at faster (2) speeds of 600 ms after canceling the increase in delay.
293 / 283.5 = 3.4% nerf to current QT.
That means the pre-RED QT is actually stronger than our current QT because of the 25% nerf in attack speed. If you don’t understand this, you’ll never get it.
RED doesnt serve its purpose….useless…instead of getting buff some got nerf….not say because too pro also…..i seriously have no idea what they thinking….
well that’s only QT but they may change it don’t worry plus there’s more changes in NL class so you will be better in any way too right?
Same thing can be said for I/L’s when they nerfed Chain Lightning’s attack speed (780 ms at normal (6) to 840 ms at normal (6)) and number of hits (6 to 4) for no reason. It’s only fair if they return it to the way it is, either pre-RED or previous Tespia version would be fine for every NL.
Blah blah blah Hero is still boring as crap, we get a new skill to spam every year, what about some damn variety nexon….
Screw your class balancing problems, don’t like em don’t play then. I’ve been playing Bishop for the longest time now. And on a funded, competitive level, we get outclassed by almost everything. Marksman have their Snipe with no cooldown, Dual blades asura’ing all day. And all we have is Angel ray to size up some damage with Infinity. Okay, maybe DRK is close to the bottom but really, I think this revamp checks-out. Its made the, I believe, ONLY support class grow closer to every other class. #MageMasterRace
Um how can you even comment when you chose to continue a shit class like Bishop anyway and expect dmg? that just made your whole rant make no sense so stfu
Man if you want do be the best class try luminous or maybe that new Zero if it’s OP that may be f3
They should put the old transformation skill look as a toggle
They are balancing class and they are trying their best to give what they can, like new skill? more creative animation to satisfy us. although some classes is gonna lose out to the rest. but remember, theres a 5th job which will improve them. so dont worry, ur bishop is meant to be surpport other classes. and be glad that no 1 can replace ur role.
Reblogged this on Melanie Bennett and commented:
It’s actually happening.
Hmm, quick question. I was wondering if UA/UE will still be available and does the existing UA/UE still retain the UA/UE skills such as the summons, and the KOC skills
The creation of UA is still closed (and has been since the revamped Striker was released). I don’t think they changed anything about existing UAs though.
So most likey UA won’t be available again right? Thx 🙂
Nexon is Korean based, Wizet is also korean based.
Wizet is also owned by Nexon, which makes both companies korean.
so ME 25 coins are exploded
but the max that can hit is 15
and the damage was reduced by half..
am I understanding this correct.
Guess whos back~? Wizet?
Great article. Thanks for the info, it’s easy to understand. BTW, if anyone needs to fill out a Justice form, I found a blank form here.
