Update MapleLegends Spring Major Update

ok i can wait, great job

 

what about bug for I/l mages and blizzard costing more mp than it should?

 

My suggestion regarding this change, would be to update more stuff.

- Pickpocket for CB, increase from Success rate 60% to 80%, making it substantially better than an Hermit counterpart.
- Poison Brace for FP, increase Success rate 60% to 80%, making the garbage missing + non poisoning happen less.
- For the next major update I'd say look into fixing the Axes / Polearms / Maces shitty damage rate that Neckson though it was ok to implement. ( as Sword is 1/1 , Axe should be something like 0.6/1.3, move it to be like 0.8/1.15, making it more stable )
- BoT for CB, increase Basic attack 250% to 300%, makes them more viable for training and might even decrease the people just going for Meso explosion training, give more choice to the class
- Decrease AP Reset price for 3.100 to something lower, makes people less prone to just quit halfway and just farm NX
- Increase some features from doing PQs, I'm really annoyed at how PQs are less popular with everyone going for gs2/gs5 and just grind it all out there ( even lvl 50s are doing gs2 now dafk )
- As seen before, fix the shield mastery for thiefs, it's useless even if they are supposed to wear shields
- Buff various maps, as in increase mob spawn rate, even number of mobs per platform ( makes more choices for maps to spawn ), there are multiple dozens of hundreds of maps that could help with a revamp, so people are more prone to discover what map to train in, and to walk around this huge world system, given that many don't even leave Vic and can get to lvl 120
- If not buff maps, make some changes to the mobs EXP/HP ratio, making them more competitive within the higher standards. ( can easily see Mannequins, Slimy, Zlupins, Teddies, Golems are the perfect choice for people below lvl 100 )

 

buff assassinate and snipe ( make it deal more than damage cap)
nerf blizzard meteor and genesis

 

Pole-arms are pretty swiggity-swooty as they are actually. On my Dark Knight I still use it fairly often at level 157, the Purple Surfboard is faster than Sky Skis and the swing has a very large range, making it perfect for farming any cards. It's pretty easy to KO anything around 7x and lower.

It's also great for training at 7f. On the bookshelf it hits all the wood fish and the goldie/silver boiz, with a spear the range is generally worse. If there's 4 targets the dps is about the same, but it can hit up to 6 mobs.

Normalizing maces and axes would be helpful though. It makes a huge difference if you're 2ko'ing a mob and with 2 stabs it could turn into a 3ko potentially. Against a mob with massive HP it doesn't matter that much but on a smaller scale it makes a big difference.

7f could use one of the silver spawns on the right to be shifted over to the left. When you're duoing there and taking sides the right side is clearly better, which is a little unfair. Also making the goldie boi spawn a little more to the left gives that person a better chance of taking it. That would make it amazing.

Mannequins and CDs could use a nerf if we're honest with ourselves. Their HP/exp ratio is absolutely insane compared to many of the vanilla game mobs. They're probably as bad as Twisted Jesters and the other mobs in the chimney, and I don't say that lightly. It's made a lot of the warrior game less unique.

If they are nerfed it would be nice to see other mobs get buffed though. All of the best training spots in Legends were never a part of gms, at least the gms I played. Shaolin, Taipei, GS, gallos - I don't really remember any of that. There were Himes/skelegons/newties, but they aren't that great anymore. The meta has shifted away from those places as the new, exciting content came out. That's good in its own way, it sucks to work hard on content only to have it dead on release because there are better places, but sometimes things are just made to be too good. It would be nice to be able to go back to the bottom of Ludi and the gorge in Aqua and not feel like you're wasting your time after collecting all the cards there.

 

NANI?

 

Or just Nerf leech with blizzard and meteor. Otherwise I don't think it's that wrong

 

I will make a Thread in regards to this, as I'm quite honestly pissed off at how the game developed with Singapore and Shaolin alone, making most of our gameplay based on maps in these world maps.

I'm really interested in seeing Ludi back to it's glory, where lvl 35 to 100 were all there.
It will be hard here, but with some balancing it might be possible to repopulate various areas.

 

Pretty sure there's another thread for skill change suggestions...
Here's where you complain about the changes that are already announced.

 

First cast of blizz costs 3.9k, but when I have 5.6k mp left, I can’t cast it a second time

 

I am also getting the blizz bug.

 

Was sure hoping for that buff to Mana Reflection..... or any of the other things I had suggested for mage in the past.

Honestly is disappointing if people thought everything was fine leaving them as leech mules but buffed everyone else.

 

another suggestion for the buccs is modify Stun mastery, at present is
Description: When attacking a monster that's stunned, the critical attack will be triggered at a set rate.
the problem is that can only be used critical in normal mobs and not in boss.
I suggest for later: mastery stunn of a % stun to all my hits and a % of critical without the monsters being stunned
to compensate and be able to support more with SE in our dmg on runs

 

That bug is actually saving you mp. The amount of MP blizz should be costing is 2 times the listed amount on your blizzard skill (due to elemental amplificiation).

 

One of my few wishes from the beginning has been standardized-ish buff times - specifically making HS and HB the same duration but other than that looks really cool :^)

edit: Any full SP reset happening? Like server wide SP reset? Has happened in GMS a few times iirc

 

great job guys

 

Good insight as far as common spots in Legends weren't in GMS or weren't common in GMS.
Most iconic GMS training spots to me were:
Grim Phantom Watch parties - Usually DK on top going in a circle with a priest and a hermit at the bottom mobbing, or a fire mage mobbing bottom solo, or if you're a crazy guy with mesos then an archer named LightOne
Viking Parties in Warped Path of Time 4
Squids Parties
Goby Parties
Zombies 1-4 with 2 and 3 being the most desirable
Hot Sands
Bains before Zak


By parties I mean 6 man things where everyone attacks a certain spot and an HSer runs around. If there were somehow a revival of that it could be interesting. Otherwise making GPW somehow viable could be cool. I think a lot of the reason these maps and monster go outdated isn't necessarily the spawn but their shapes and platform layouts get outdated over time. There's a lot of walking and map cycling in GPW or there's unique platform set ups in viking parties compared to flat, accessible, and campy maps like Gs2. I don't know if buffing spawns can fix that but I liked Alyosha's comment about GMS spots being under used or that they're replaced by non-gms maps already.

 

At the end of the day it comes down to EXP per HR. The problem with the outdated GMS maps is that they are inferior on two fronts, mob quality and MAP layout.

Not only do the monsters in the GMS maps give LESS EXP per monster HP, but the map layout also makes it so that you spend less time doing damage and killing mobs and more time travelling.

This isn't something that can't be fixed - you could just OVERBUFF the monsters in terms of EXP or Spawn to compensate for the fact that you would be spending more time travelling and not being able to hit them as often in a map with a better layout such as GS2.

Personally, I would prefer that outdated maps be made viable by buffing the items it drops. It would be amazing balance to have maps that are good for farming exp, and maps that are good for farming mesos, but not maps that are good for both at the same time (like mannequins).
