Ms v1.55 vs Ms2

Good Morning (12:18am here )

After another year...or more? of break, I am back into this hell hole call Maple Story again. Just like most of my restarts, it really torn me/bored me because of the game content that Nexon just keep smashing on players because they probably run out of idea in terms of updates(not NX). Also, since MS2 is about to be released soon. I took a look at the trailer and tbh personally i don't think it is really worth getting too much hopes for. So, I am wonder.... for those of us that keeps coming back and going for MS. Do you guys rather have a revamp back to MS V1.55 before Big Bang Patch or would you rather play MS2?.

(edit): I apologize for not making myself clear but I meant to have the old content back without all the hacking/connection problem that we all suffered in the past. I personally just think the older content actually connect players together instead of soloing most of the time. The exp problem would be a central topic if an official MSv1.55 reoccurs because players definitely have different preference when it comes to the time needed to level.

[quote=juarmo]Ehmm, what about "smashing content at the players" means that they are running out of ideas? Ideas for what? The only hing you'd need be creative with IS content. Unless you mean revamps, because revamps is not something that SHOULD be done regularly, or new classes?because we have enough classes lol

In fact, the fact that it took them FOUR years to decide that they are satisfied with how balanced the game is... (fairness doesn't mean everyone gets the same thing, it means everyone gets what they need, and what every class needs is NOT to keep up with other classes in every regard... every class needs to excel at at LEAST one thing, ONE aspect, or to set it apart from the crowd [with 40 of them, there aren't enough things to specialize in, so most of them rely on the last thing I listed])
Who cares if DS's are better at bossing? Aran is better at mobbing! if something blows you out of the water in some aspect, you probably blow THEM out of the water at something ELSE..
Evan's low lines, are compensated by his relative competence at dueling, crowd control, power, stability, simplicity (its easier to survive @ endgame bosses when all you have to do is dodge and attack, [and teleport seems easier/more practical to dodge things with than jumping skills and when I'm backed into a corner where I'm out of options that won't kill me [Checkmate], I can always bet a KO count {that I was probably going to lose regardess} on Dragon Blink whisking me off to safety {or "Castling" me}] and with no gimmick, and very few cooldowns to manage... it's simple), utility (which is ENTIRELY useless atm...) He doesn't NEED to be GREAT at 1v1, and he's GREAT for unfunded classes (Elemental Reset lets me KO Normal Magnus @ 220k range XD [no damage cut])
Basically, what I mean is, that Evan doesn't really NEED more lines, since the only things we can't kill are the things very FEW classes can kill... I'd prefer a REAL gimmick and better buffs! (and better animations)[/quote]

I like your post, but how does this have anything to do with the thread?

What people do not understand is that pre-bb isn't what made old MS better. What made "old MS" better was the community back then. If we had the same community we had then now then no one would complain. The long grinds, the expensive mastery books, etc did not make old MS fun.

Old Maplestory sucked.
Just trying to grind to 70 was physically painful.
Are you a masochist?

OT: Ms2 will be fun. Looks real nice.
Current maplestory is fun, It's my personal drug.

Why would you want to go back to the old maple? Nostalgia is nostalgia because you want the old but forget the bad that comes with the old...
