General

is there really any chance for Maple Story to have balance?

i think balance is something that will never happen - i mean especially with Nexon America running the game and not really having the power to change things - they just follow orders from Nexon Korea and take content from KMS and JMS mostly and idk about the rest of you but Maple Story seems to favor Warriors.

[quote=orangeking11]Honestly, I think Thieves have always had the extra help from Nexon. NLs have always been effective and never needed further help to balance, Shads have gotten a ton of help every balance patch, while a class like Bucs/AMs just always seem to not get enough, and DBs, are well, DBs. xD

Edit: I personally thing Nexon tries, but I'm not sure why some of their actions in balancing (or lack of them) come to be. But I'm sure it could be a lot worse. xD[/quote]

overall agreed but with nexon you cant say "it could be a lot worse" cuz nexon sucks so dam much.

Not at all....NLs have never ever ever been OPed in 3rd and 4th job....
They have good 1v1 Dexless potential in 1st and 2nd job, but no mob attacks to back this up.

Assasins were always inferior to something like Bowmasters or Corsairs, in my opinion, who ended up reaching the same DPS WITHOUT expensive apples and other people's Sharp Eyes and which had far better mobbing attacks to train faster with the whole way through. (except Outlaws...that sort of sucks).

I didn't know "effective" was a synonym for "OP." xD

And I'm glad DPS is the only thing that's considered when balancing classes. xD

Got a sarcasm meter? I sense a ton in my post. xD

@OP:
How are Warriors OPed? Their DPS is basically ALWAYS worse than Ranged classes and higher HP means nothing when you can survive a hit. With things like pitential equips and high base HP and more HP skills for classes like Archers their advantages become rather meaningless...Paladins have sweet Defense and are powerful, but when bossing becomes the real point in the really long run, they are rarely on top.[/quote]

its just that everybody besides warriors has to choose statless, low 2nd stats, or full 2nd stats to use the equips they want to - warriors however can be statless and equip their highest level equips - they dont have to spend mesos to buy common equips to boosts their 2nd stat to go low stat/statless and still be able to use higher lvl equips.

and lol @NLsNotOPd: they have always been amongst the top bossing classes - sounds OP'D to me.

[quote=tiffatoxic]Maple Story does not favor Warriors.
Dawn Warriors are getting nerfed soon, they wanna balance it. (Although it won't work.)[/quote]

im not even counting Cygnus Knights in this as they cant compare with equal funding to their equivalents once their equivalents get to like 130+

i mean they favor warriors in general otherwise they wouldnt be the only class that the majority of their equipment requires no 2nd stat.
