Yeah there's like a million different threads concerning the upcoming "Big Bang" patch. Alot of people are excited and jumping off their feet while others hate the entire idea. So what are you looking forward to and what would you rather not have? Positive: 1. I like the ultimate cooldowns because I won't get hassled for leech. 2. The new critical system 3. I like the animations for some of the skills. Negatives: 1. EXP Curve: If there really is going to be an exp curve, it seems like lvling will be just TOO easy. I mean, 150+ would be popping up out of nowhere. There would be no real challenge to lvling up. 2. New UI: It just seems funny. Too high-tech looking for Maplestory. 3. Monsters Avoidability: I just don't like the idea of a lvl 120+ bowman missing 15% of the time on monsters like coolies o.0. Give me your opinions.

I couldn't agree less with you. The UI is sophisticated and gives Maple a more ''Mature'' appearance. I think the exp curve was a good idea, there are too many low levelers, or people who are just ''stuck.'' If the game becomes easier, then so be it. Do some quests or something, go have fun. Not all about leveling. Besides I'm pretty sure Maple will never be TOO easy.

I think the monsters avoid is there so that ppl won't level too fast with the exp curve like having a level 50 training at wr

I doubt people will lvl fast with the monsters hp changing,for example skelegon has 215k hp and gives 6k exp per kill after Big Bang.

Pros: 1) Ultimate cooldown, plus the MP subtraction to cast ultimates. 2) New UI 3) Exp curve, that's part con too. 4) New Animations. 5) Most classes get better. 6) Everywhere is now a good training spot. Cons: 1) Victoria Island changed too much. 2) Mechanic looks a little too OPed with the 4th job skill where it shoots "endlessly" 3) EXP curve, even though people will be able to get to 120+ faster now, most people will QUIT due to the fact that they're getting 2 lvl200s every month. 4) Ranged classes can just stand around and KS you by just holding a button, since they're range is considered infinite now. 5) New formulas, when Big Bang comes I needa find moar DD:

I played KMS and the exp curve made it A LOT easier to level so it could be good/bad depending how you look at it. (Good: Low levels will be able to reach a higher level. Bad: People who are already a high level might be pissed off because they worked that hard to reach their level and after the BB patch people will be able to reach that level without too much effort)

p1: I agree, I especially like how mages won't be campy hit 1 button characters anymore. p2: I agree P3: I agree, too bad nothing new for shads though. B>BA sound effects of assassinate back? C1: I disagree, leveling should indeed be challenging but it shouldn't be frustrating. The way things are now, I must say it takes too long to level say from 50-70. Unless you got 2x cards up the butt and tons of family rep, getting to 70 from 50 takes a lot longer than you probably remember. C2: I disagree, better graphics on anything is always a good thing. C3: I'm not too sure because I was too lazy to read about how that really works. I hear dexless/lukless get screwed over but I don't really know for sure.

I agree with everything you just said. My biggest concern is the EXP curve... I think it'll make the game too easy :/
