    From what I understand, aggro will still swap every half a dozen seconds or so, so there is no method by which one can "skillfully" continuously hold onto aggro. If it only ever aggro'd onto the closest person then simply having all melee on right and all range on left alone would allow a group to reliably keep the bean facing right, which obviously isn't the case unless it's some sort of weighted function, and even if that were the case it would still amount to an rng fest, not a test of player skill.

    I'm also not sure how true this would be, that these changes to mini beans would promote cleave inclusivity. From what I've observed, mini beans cancel almost immediately after getting hit the overwhelming majority of the time. The other times the mini beans are just killed quickly enough that they don't get the opportunity to. By doubling their HP, making them holy immune and removing their fire/ice weaknesses, they are much more likely to survive long enough to cancel, and once cancelled no amount of cleavers will help deal with them. They would either flock aimlessly or clutter all over the bean either until the AMs eventually kill them or until their cancel finally ends.

    And even if they were able to be killed quickly enough it would only mean that they still die too quickly to pose any real obstacle such that cleavers would be necessary. If anything, this change would only serve to make bringing AMs almost mandatory (more so FPs with the current predicament with ILs and statue phase) but do nothing for the actual cleavers that I believe this change is intended to help. To have that desired effect, I believe there would have to be some combination of changes involving one or more of the following: removing wep cancels, further increasing mini bean HP, adding magic cancels to the mix, increasing frequency of summons, and/or increasing amount of mini beans spawned.

    Side note, as I've been asked a few times about the meaning of the cancel changes. To give an example, if we assume:
    • Monster only has weapon cancel and magic cancel as available skillls
    • Both cancels last 30 seconds, but have a cooldown of 60
    Currently on live:
    0:00 WC starts
    0:30 WC ends
    0:45 boss tries to cast skill, but because WC is still on cooldown, it'll cast MC
    Repeats indefinitely

    Next patch:
    0:00 WC starts
    0:30 WC ends
    0:45 boss tries to cast skill, both WC and MC are still on cooldown, it won't cast either cancel
    1:00 boss chooses either WC or MC at random

    Hopefully this elaborates some more on how cancels are supposed to behave next patch.

    NiseNise Will there is a pick up message when someone loots the coin pouch and/or a message to say how many coin is obtained from the coin pouch when opened, similiar to how the existing key item looting in boss runs.

    No star recharge balances again? How about bullet prices vs mtk prices since we need stacks of mtk now?

    Loving the new patch except for one thing.

    [​IMG] should not be changed imo.
    The little parts that are so innocent where we can still be nostalgic should remain nostalgic. Especially early in the game. For some this is so little, but I'm really not a fan of these Legends systems where you'd have 3 mages or 378 fame mules. This is only going to stimulate more fame mules. It truly takes away the Legends philosophy of a 'harder' and longer server.

    Yes, I am aware that this change is little, but the 1% rule applies here. I believe that every 1% that doesn't have to be changed for the greater good of longevity should remain the same. Mid to End-game however is a different story.

    You probably won't like my "end of the year" topic very much if you are supportive of nostalgia instead of making the game better. The truth is, the more I looked into changes Neckson made (not counting their p2w garbage of course) the more supportive I am of most of them. Neckson was definitely aware of how utterly broken pre-bb was already, and tried to make quite a few changes that for one made ways to permanently break your character much less of an issue, and some things like three snails more useful.

    "Nostalgia" is different for everyone, and v0.67 is 2009 MapleStory, which is only slightly later than v0.62. Some grew up later, some grew up earlier. However, "nostalgia" just runs out quicker than "fun and logic" does, which is why this change is made now, and more will come in future.

    I think islanders should give input on this patch - for I believe this affects them the most.

    Whether 3 snails is more effective compared to pure str/dex before level 10, I have no idea. But I def did not struggle in maple island when making a warrior or brawler

    What about... people actually starting their first character? People starting a second or third or fourth or whatever character have advantages already by knowing the game, using cash shop storage for buffs, etc... so that barely matters.

    This change is to make the experience for new users more smooth. Experienced users really do not need more help than they already do, since there are many cash shop items such as weather buffs that can get them through Maple Island regardless.

    Also... fame mules? Is there even a challenge making these, to begin with?

    Making a fame mule? Not so much. Making 250 fame mules, I'd say there's a challenge there.

    This is probably the part where we disagree with each other: Tediousness is not a challenge. Something taking time is not a challenge. Voting every 24 hours for 2 months for AP resets is not a challenge; it's a literal waitwall that you can't speed up. Making 250 fame mules is not a challenge, it's just doing the same (possibly quicker now) tedious task 250 times.

    The possible issue I see is that you currently run a fame service, and you are afraid more people are now going do the same, lowering your profits.

    I do not compete in things I disagree with. I do not have multiple mages, and I do not run a fame service.

    If you're making 250 fame mules chances are you have an Islander to speed run all the quests. Stop kidding yourself mate.

    Last comment I'm going to post since no one agrees anyway

    This comment is a little silly. Do you not see the difference between collecting 5000 red snail shells vs just having them for free?
