Give all classes more active skills at every job especially ones that have utility instead of straight damage, make utility skills worth using. And make the different classes have distinct mechanics instead of just being nearly palette swaps.
Make all boss fights dynamic and interesting instead of standing in place spamming skills and pots with brief interruptions. Damage zones, movement etc. in combination with pot cooldowns would make low level boss fights actually interesting.
All of this. Maple's active gameplay was unique for a MMO back when it released in a market full of point-and clickers. But now there's a lot more games simply outdoing its simplistic gameplay and doing it much better. Tera, DFO, Elsword, Grand Chase, LaTale, Lunia, Dragonica and so on.
do you mean auto-aim/no miss attacks btw? @ hitscan
Touch damage is dead. Give me gameplay that makes me appreciate good party members, not just for their attack stat. I want to have a warrior rush mobs into a corner, then appreciate a Thief's smokescreen right as we start attacking so that the mob doesn't wipe us out from attacking us all at once.
1 min cooldown seems a bit long, unless damage was being scaled down to suit so squishier players could take more.
Aside from that MAJOR change (which i admit would never happen because a lot of people like MS cause others are just too hard for them). I'd definitely be more willing to come back if meso exploits were better controlled. the inflation is so bad the only way to get anywhere is to sell already highly demanded items... anything the average F2P player can loot is crap by comparison, its not just 'a challenge' its just plain NOT FUN. Merchanting is crock: how bad is your game balanced when you don't hunt drops from MOBS, but you do so in FM just because the odds are better? That's pathetic.
I also need to see lower prices on utility items such as pets/shops and auto-looting. Too many other games offer the same for much less. This game is too expensive for the dumbest crap.
