[KMST] KMST 1.2.437 - Black Mage

[Chilly]

She obviously flew away from the nerf room while screaming "Screw you all! I have a village to run b!tches!"

She probably just used her "goods". Enticed the developers the same way she wrangled in manly, emo DS and chubby CS. Aran might just get a buff soon based on her new gender.

So many legends hiding in Ellinia...

That's not Phantom, Satellite.

Noticed the typo in less than 2 mins, but damage was already done.

Yeah, kMMO developers love their female characters.

Here we go guys... the lastest patches from the game... the end is nearing... maybe time for Maple Story 2?

[Imitazion]

I don't see why they had to nerf the critical like that, it wasn't that harmful and the cooldown, I don't even know how long the skill itself last but I bet it's shorter than this cooldown.

the buff lasts like 10 seconds, it's next to useless.

We should not be suprised by things like this anymore. Nexon's strategy for new characters is:

- Release OP character
- A lot of people make one so that they can see lots of big pretty numbers on their screen
- People spend lots of NX on new character since it has its own CS
- Nexon release new OP character (go to step 2)
- Nexon nerfs the old one to balance the game

Look at DS's for another example.

I can live with losing ~15% damage or whatever, but they pineappleed up boss timing, and that pisses me off.

why do they keep nerfing phantom when it wasn't terribly overpowered to begin with?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Satellite]

Nexon - Now also hating on thiefs since 2011 (Jump update).

What if Black Mage isn't the final villain?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What does that mean, Joe?

[MrTouchnGo]

What does that mean, Joe?

It means Phantoms were terribly overpowered to begin with, I'm assuming.

[Satellite]

What if Black Mage isn't the final villain?

What if he will be released, but everytime he's "defeated", he sneaks away or some crap. Like Pink Bean.

[anondesu9000]

So is there any info about why Luminous was wearing the Black Magician's robe in the ToG comic?

Is Luminous actually the Black Magician, only reduced to level 1 by the treacherous Magnus?

Or was it just a hint that he'll be appearing in L's tutorial?

[TugboatWilly]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i heard more whining about demon slayer and mercedes than i did phantom.

[Endgame]

Phantom outright makes certain classes obsolete. As in, steals the only skill people want them in bossing parties for. (Combat Orders, Hyper Body, etc.)

AND he does lots of damage.

AND he hardly gets hit with enough cubing, since LUK also grants Avoid.

AND he has a Magic Break that gives him the buffs the boss had.

And so on.

[Dark Link]

>Mercedes.

KMS needs to pick one. Making classes both time limited and nerfed down to normal kind of defeats the point.

Not that any of the nerfed classes were OP to begin with. Eventually they all get buffed to be stronger than they used to be. Some even get permanently included in the game. From Aran to Evans and Mechs, if they were back then as powerful as they are now, there would've been a crapstorm. Except the game, while new content has been introduced, is still in the post-Bang/pre-Tempest stage. It hasn't changed dramatically. So these nerfs are ultimately pointless, as all nerfed classes will not only be buffed back up, but they'll be buffed to surpass their original strength. Nexon could instead save themselves the trouble and us all the butthurt if they just did nothing.

But trying to please everyone pleases nobody, since the anti-nerf crowd will be angry at the nerfs, and the pro-nerf crowd will just move on to hating the next new character. Since the latter can never be pleased, and the former can, why doesn't just Nexon just settle for pleasing the former by not nerfing classes instead of pointlessly trying to appease the latter by doing something futile? Or are they trying to troll their playerbase by offering half-assed not-solutions?

[Arrol]

Phantom outright makes certain classes obsolete. As in, steals the only skill people want them in bossing parties for. (Combat Orders, Hyper Body, etc.) Yet I still see other classes strutting around, joining parties. I have yet to see parties full of Phantoms.

AND he does lots of damage. So can many other classes.

AND he hardly gets hit with enough cubing, since LUK also grants Avoid. Paladins, Thieves, Mercedes.

AND he has a Magic Break that gives him the buffs the boss had. True about that.

And so on.

OMG OMG OMG THE END IS NEAR, THE END IS NIE, THE END IS HERE!
THERE'S A pomegranateSTORM A BREWIN'

More than one class can be terribly overpowered at a time

[anondesu9000]

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.
