    Ever since playing (original) Maplestory i found it pretty annoying to keep having to cast buffs. It is just a 'minor' inconvenience, but could still be improved upon. A nice quality of life, or reward if you wil, for maxing a skill.

    My suggestion would be to make it so that all self buffs on max level are a togglable. Since most self buffs have a long duration (e.g. Magic Guard 10 minutes | Soul Arrow 10 minutes | Weapon boosters 200 sec) why not make them a toggle.

    In Maplestory there are alot of valuable skills (Holy Symbol, Speed infusion, Sharp Eyes, Hyper Body) that in my opinion should keep a duration time. You don't want to create a situation where these skills are 'sold' to players in the Free Market.

    But it would be nice if self buffs, the skills that only affect your character, have a toggle so recasting is not necessary.

    The following conditions must apply to a skill to make them elligable for being a toggle.
    1) The skill only has an effect on the caster, partymembers do not receive a benefit;
    2) The skills does not use resources other then MP (so this change wont have an effect on shadow partner or summons);
    3) The skill does not have a cooldown after casting.

    Thank you for considering this suggestion :)
    Happy Grinding

    would honestly be a great QoL if multi client didn't exist.
    unfortunately multi client do so, this makes multi mage and attackers much easier to control, and in turn disrupt the economy :(

    Nice for grieving.

    ‘my bishop teammate griefed the run by only HSing himself’

    also more handholding for less interactive gameplay is instant no.
    God forbid anything that makes u do the slightest action by urself in this game.

    Yes.

    just ignore the fact that i said more handholding. Completely irrelevant to the handholding already there from start

    how much handholding is acceptable, too little and too much? and why?
    why is pet pot acceptable, but not unlimited magic guard?
    since multiclienting buff is the answer, why not swap one out for the other?
    or we can just stick to the current norm just because it's the norm

    Part of the challenge in several scenarios is the fact that you have to re-cast buffs. Like Magic Guard when a boss dispels you. If you were to "toggle" these skills for auto-recast then bosses would effectively be getting nerfed. Same goes for meso guard, haste, soul arrow, etc.

    Being unlucky is not a bug :D

    Works like 99% of the time, but when you lag, the pet can fail to heal you.

    I don't think this would be a good idea, mainly because of the loss of incentive

    since i don't know much about the game only because i focus only one character. but i learn from bots on character ai and looking here on the forums that this is a classic maplestory that is about team work and can be challenging much later. but that part of the game's charm and i have to accept that.
