The balance patch is not as bad as it sounds. Maplestory will still be a fun game - maybe more fun than before. Why do I say this, well check these reasons out: -Monster levels have increased, and the exp required to level has changed. That means that it takes less time to level, but it will be more challenging. -You no longer have to grind on the same monster over and over! Monster levels will be more varied, and skelegons will no longer be the only monster to level at 'till 200. Everyone likes a bit of scenery change once in a while, so why not? -The game is more fair. Yes, no longer will there be 3 or 4 preferred classes for bosses. Bosses, in turn, will require ACTUAL PLANNING to fight efficiently. Now teams will have to be made with more careful planning. Arch Mages might actually find out what Horntail and Zakum look like! -More class variety in the game. Never again will we see the overstressed prices of some scrolls, and the junk we perceive other scrolls to be. Every weapon will be valuable. -Now one of the reasons I'd like to stress - Maplestory isn't the same anymore. The sense of exploration people love when they start a new mmorpg is coming to maplestory, sweet! This means we might see a few old friends who tired of Maplestory, and maybe the current players who hate the game but are addicted, will enjoy it once more! Do not read if you are an easily enraged 4th job mage: -Yes, it has finally come. The patch to fix ultimates. No more leech, fellows, sorry. Grind like everyone else please! No leech means that people will control characters that they can ACTUALLY CONTROL! Hopefully we'll never have to scream because our party member forgot to buff us at a boss. The loss of 4th job ultimates also means, no more Kill-Stealing (Well, at least less of it)! A monstly complete list of changes: http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1554787/1/Complete_Maplestory_Revamp_in_KMST.html Maplestory is changing for the better. Hell, it's about time.

Hmm, the ultimates just seem like they belong. Taking them away is... strange. But I don't think it's terrible. I was all for the "weaken our ultimates so we can boss". Its just I think they literally become useless. They might as well just remove them altogether.

As long as Magicians can get into boss runs and everything else, and NOT be turned down I'm fine with the ultimate nerf. At least when I played WoW, we Mages were wanted for our DPS, in Maple, we're nothing T_T.

While I do not believe ultimates should be spammed, I do think an I/L, for example, should be equipped with more than an antique tazer gun and a freezer.
