Anniversary Patch Notes: May 22, 2020

PLEASE! Increase the range of sacrifice! I normally end up touching the boss' body while attempting to reduce my HP.
At bosses like nameless, it's crucial to be able to super-micromanage HP to zerk! I also don't want to fall off the edge at HT during the left and mid heads while attempting to sacrifice.

And yes, zerking at nameless is possible. I normally have it up 80%~ of the time.

 

- All current Witch's Special Stew's in the server has received an expiration of 6 months starting now.

 

Okay but tell me
At what level do they start maxing Marksman Boost?
140s 150s?
So unless you're already an expert in the game, to reliable get a character to late game and fund it, you don't get that ''compensation''
This isnt GMS, this is Maple Legends, players usually dont level up that high, and now if someone wants to play Sniper they have to deal with a weaker non-nostalgic 5 shot strafe forever
And it'll stay weaker and more blocked by defense until they get to 4th job and can fund themselves out of bad damage.

 

5 shot strafe won't be weaker though. You will still do more damage than a 4 shot strafe.

 

The fact that defense is applied before skill multipliers means that 5 line strafe won't factor in defense any more than 4 line strafe (Proportionally anyways).

Although it is true that without SE, this new 5 line strafe is slightly lower damage than 4 line strafe (625% vs 640%). I don't think it's a big deal though; from my experience as a Sniper I don't actually use Strafe all that much when levelling, except on headless horseman and bigfoot.

 

Oooo that 8th channel and warp card. Yassssss

 

Why change a nostalgic skill to having an xtra 1 shot? thats what Pixel is trying to say.
Looking at the charts, the long-awaited buff is clearly justified (YASSSSS PLS). Simply put, to increase damage output just increase the damage % from 110% to maybe anywhere from (125% to 140%) or increase the crit damage.

Also I'd like GMs to consider this. Make "Snipe 30" penetrate weapon cancels on boss. This will boost MMs class identity and have more impact in end game boss fights. MMs need to be distinguished more apart from BMs, not just "BMs are expected to deal more dmg in the end game".

 

No you wont.. Unless you have max SE or you crit all 5 arrows.. which is pretty mid-late game imo, saddly.
Calcs:
Expected damage:

• Old Strafe (NO SE): 110%*4 + (100%*4*0.5) = 640%
• New Strafe (NO SE): 75%*5 + (100%*5*0.5) = 625%
• Old Strafe (With SE): 110%*4 + (240%*4*0.65) = 1064%
• New Strafe (With SE): 75%*5 + (240%*5*0.65) = 1155%

The MM Boost Buff is amazing, Thank you a lot!
Im leveling a 260 base int marskman.. that strafe nerf on my early game will hurt me a lot! How am i going to pin HH? :/

Where is our Snipe hiting through Weap Cancel tho?? D:

 

Troll answer: wash out your int

 

50% Nerf on Alchemist is too much in my opinion. Maybe 30-35% would've been a less harsh.

 

Nobody used that ship anyways because getting to Leafre is instantaneous using the portal. A least now Ludi won't be a dead zone for players after EPQ or whenever they decide to leave. And people might actually visit omega sector now.

 

No changes for Buccaneer how unfortunate, though i'm glad for some more prominent changes. Looking out for the future bucc changes thoughSeemsGood

 

y tho?

 

I love Warp card patch ♡

 

remember when you also said we could just use stew instead for less fuss buffs and i said they weren't an infinite resource...

TY FOR THE MATH SKAR, tbh i just cider/heartstopper on concentrate cd anyway

 

BeCaUsE nLs ArE oP. NLs apple / stew at least once a run to do single target dpm because they're a selfish class that can only provide haste to a party. With the changes to multi client and muling in HT, everyone will now rely on att pots.(Unless you have multiple computers).This doesn't really nerf the class's overall dpm, but it does affect your total damage per run if you just apple once. I could care less to be honest, this just makes runs longer for everyone else.

 

additional 5 stoppers per hour is not too bad. 15 stoppers with the previous concentrate and 20 stoppers with the change. Stackable ciders is pretty nice though.

 

Disagree with the multiclient change. If people can and want to duo or trio bosses then they should able to. By making this change you're essentially forcing people to fill up their party with players that they otherwise wouldn't invite. I get that you're trying to help introduce newer players to boss runs but an artificial limitation like this isn't the right way to do it. Also part of the challenge in this game IS to find a party to boss with. Just because you hit 135 doesn't magically mean you're welcome to every boss run. Most people in this game want to min/max their time and mesos and this change kind of ruins it.

A better approach to this would be to add a timer similar to HT so there's a dps check for your party.

 

if you main a NL why wouldn't you be salty lol. Like I said, any nerf to a class affects party play.
