[quote=David0696]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qalMM9LvfI4 is how i feel[/quote]

^ My thoughts exactly..
I was happy after getting to 200 and now, this. >_>
Nexon should have come up with a way to make whatever their planning to work without increasing the level cap and there's so many things wrong with this. I'm going to miss seeing FangBlade at the top of the rankings who was my role model and influence in choosing Bera as my main world. They should, like someone already said, make a special ranking for all the players who reached 200 before big bang just to make things better.
I stopped playing maple that much after I got to 200 and got wayyy too lazy to train again but after seeing the Exp table from 200-250 (Which is: http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=63483&page=3&p=1089558&viewfull=1#post1089558) all I have to say is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cT_Ulmcrys ^^
For the people who want to get to 250, gl hf, but hackers will take the first few rankings for sure~

I know it's official. I just don't like it when something is advertised as something it isn't. As Dan Green once said, "I calls it like I sees it."

I'm not sure whether I find this exciting or infuriating =x
on one hand it probably means we get an actual 5th job not just hyper skills, but on the other it took me 4 years just to hit 200 on one character I can't imagine how long it'll take me to get to 250 </3

Oh great, there's probably gonna be mastery books for the new 5th job skills (assuming we'll get a 5th job). If we do get a 5th job, I guess I can look forward to stealing 5th job skills on my phantom.

Why do we need a 5th job? We already have too many skills to even fit on our keyboard.

It's about time they raised the level cap. However I sold almost all my equips and practically quit. I took pride in being the 66th level 200 in Mardia, because ranking actually mattered once. Now there are over 1000+ level 200s in Mardia and it won't feel much of an accomplishment anymore. I'll just find it funny when people complain that its going to take 2.2b exp to level from 200-201. Especially since when I hit 200, the exp from 199-200 used to be 2.147b. Now its like 1.1b or something easy like that.

How boring... more grinding for several hours straight in one map.... unless we have new PQs

Level 250 is now made possible by the fact that nexon made the experience server side so they could use longs rather than signed ints.

So now:
190 takes 600m exp
200 takes 1.1b exp
210 takes 2b exp
220 takes 3.5b exp
230 takes 6b exp
240 takes 11b exp
250 takes 20b exp

Which is about 150b + 80b + 48b + 27b + 15b = 320b total exp to 250

@Miauri if it seems like i think this is the worst thing ever, im not saying that, it just seemed this came out of now where. Now i can see how many Lvl 200's are taking this since being lvl 200 is an achievement of its own, and theres nothing to do afterwords besides boss run and stuff, but i just dont know how to feel about this....I guess we will just have to see and find out wont we

KoC won't be worthless unless you're planning to hit lvl 201+. They haven't even said anything about KoCs not being able to hit lvl 250.
Why are you making assumptions of the 5th job skills whem Nexon haven't said anything about 5th job?

I bet some hacker is going to be on the top of the ranking list just you wait. Also, I have yet to make it to level 200 since my brain can't zone out whilst I am grinding. o.o </3

Interesting, something for me to actually do at 200? But then again, if I get the beta invite for Elder Scrolls Online, this will all be meaningless.

[quote=stacyxoxo]Then what will become of FangBlade? Hoping the first level 250 on GMS won't be a hacker.
Though I'm excited to see what new areas they have in mind. Hopefully there will be more endgame content.[/quote]
Fangblade hacked until like lvl15x too, it won't be any different.

Even tho i reached 200 last weekend i really like this. When i first saw the unlimited patch and the harder bosses and new dmg cap i was kinda downed. But this cheers me up from the not so great unlimited patch. New lvl cap= Stronger classes and easier bosses. And for those of you that wonder, i like the state maple is in Gms atm, well at least if you exlude all the hackers and glitches etc.

Flame shield on.

[quote=4evers1n]They should leave the damage Cap lvl 200, but the final boss, Black Mage should be lvl 250.[/quote]
then people would miss 100% due to accuracy formula except mihiles using the cygnus lv 120 self echo skill from quest
and even then, it only raises their level by like 40 in terms of accuracy I think. Which means they still miss 20% of the time :l
