Information Anniversary Event 2021 Balance Changes [Explained]

what? Sairs alt tab got fixed

 

Corsairs can't infinitely shoot on boat either, if you're talking about macro three battleship cannons, yea i guess.

 

Make a corsair. They never get nerfed.

 

Or will they? Find out next time on, dragon ball ZEEE

 

So excited for the changes, they really seem to address a lot of the community's concerns!

Eager to see how CS' will be generated too <3

 

Please implement the max bulk (5k) purchase for diamond arrows

 

Thoughts on the looting rework? Skeles and Petris will pretty much have been decimated by this. Unless leechers raise prices considerably. Something's gotta give somewhere.

 

I think the intention by nerfing sweeper mules is to lower the amount of mesos available in the server. Short term, less money means less purchasing power and decrease in demand. Over time, supply overtakes demand and since we all love to undercut each other, prices fall and ideally the same purchasing power is restored.

What's gonna "give" will be the average price of scrolls and maybe even leech. This is of course assuming the wealth disparity in the server isn't too bad (not sure on this one) such that the really rich can't capitalize on the excess supply and also how many people rely on MU meso printing to earn meso. You can raise the price of leech all you want, but if printing money becomes more difficult, I have a hard time understanding why anyone would buy leech at a premium.

 

Yes please make it easier to buy diamond arrows in bulk!

 

PQ gangs gonna be super happy about this. JPQ PLEASE!

 

Any thoughts on nerfing Shaolin?

The only problem with this is that the ceiling of Skele leech tends to be set by the floor of Shaolin leech.

 

I third this notion!

 

Yes, and I think we're in that state. But decreasing money supply is like playing with fire. Generally, anything going in the negative direction should be done with extreme caution because it's easy for deflation to unintentionally spiral out and fuck everything up--part of the reason why maintaining a low level of inflation is considered healthy. This seems like a drastic change that might have unintended consequences.

Also I apologize for my toxicity, it's not helpful. But I think my frustration is understandable given how stressful balance changes and their forum threads have been for like... the past 15 months? I think in the past if I told someone I was anxious about balance changes they would think I'm crazy. Now, I think everyone can relate to that sentiment. The large, game-changing patches feel so frequent and so controversial.

Personally I'd like to see more interaction with the community before balance changes happen, which would hopefully lead to less major changes. Even if a change gets reverted, it's incredibly exhausting for the community, and I would guess for the staff too (see: last year's multi-client/multi-computer fiasco). That's just my personal preference though. I know some people like that the game evolves every few months; personally, I'd give anything to play 2019 ML again.

 

I'm working on getting shaolin nerfed next, don't worry. It's the next journal; let's get this train rollin out da station.

S> 5-6F leech: https://forum.maplelegends.com/index.php?threads/insane-eph-5-6f-leech.40573/

 

Leech sellers deserve more. They basically work a full-time day job doing this!

In the restaurant industry you tip the workers because you know they don't get paid much, whereas leech selling you're barely compensated for the potion-use alone.

Average leech sale is about 3mill per hour across the board and that def isn't worth an hour of real-time work. If this isn't a wake-up call to support the sellers and pay them more idk what will. Perhaps leech economy will crash? We'll see.

 

Balance advisory board

 

Love this!! Super excited to see both scarga and PPQ receiving love!

 

Lowering the runs is meant to reduce/remove the need to suicide in order to get the rewards from the PQ.
Reducing the number of runs required doesn't mean you do less runs. If there is "not enough levels to go next PQ", then just do "this PQ" more.
