I don't see a problem with that because everyone can enjoy having stupid high damage since that's what this game seems to have become about anyway. While Kanna will still fall short compared to these classes, the gap will at least close a little bit. Either that or give both types of classes a fraction of that % boost. They KNOW its not a popular decision and yet they're still doing it anyway? Why don't they just change it to be "broken" for both magical AND physical based jobs? Would that make people happy? At least make it so that everyone can benefit. As others have said, her skill dmg%s are really low, so are they going to buff those or no? The argument that this will make her more competitive completely falls flat when they decided to implement this change. Why can't they just revert Haku's Blessing into a self-buff? What's the reasoning why they don't seem too keen on doing that? It doesn't make sense, why nerf the class to the ground because of party play at the expense of the class itself (the class that actually NEEDS it)? This is going to nerf her individual capabilities really hard and there doesn't seem to be any other changes to her but this. It boiled down to "Eh I don't care, I only use my Kanna to kish me anyways so it doesn't really affect me." Mostly apathy for this creeping normality. I talked about the nerf earlier with one of the players in my guild and their response was a bit disheartening. It's bad enough that most people only play Kanna to farm, this just seems like it will cause more of these characters to become Kish mules. This nerf would effectively undo that buff or worse depending on the players.

Even then I'd say more could have been done. The last final damage buff was pretty good and helped uplift Kannas. While many will say we would agree Haku is a powerful buff to other mages it is one that even in its current state allows Kanna mains to just barely stay afloat. Telling the players that the team will monitor the situation to see what happens and if they might need to recommend further changes does not bring any comfort to the players especially considering how long they might have to wait and how these changes were handled in the first place. What we see is a nerf copy pasted from TMS and we players feel like our complaints just fell on deft ears with the management hoping that eventually people will grow tired, move on and stop complaining. I guess a reason people are saying Nexon isn't listening is we don't see any of the discussions the reasoning and justification behind these changes. The fact is that we do listen, but ultimately, that won't always transition into an outcome desired by the community. "Make it a self buff, it's that simple!" If we didn't listen to the community, then how would we know of this suggestion? Why is it then that this very suggestion was communicated? We do listen to you guys and the many options brought to the table from the community to address the issue of the design behind Haku's Blessing. In the end, I want to make it clear that there is a distinction between us listening and acting on the feedback. There are many things that goes into the discussion between publishing and game team and community feedback is one of the main ones.Īs stated in the main post, we're well aware of what the community wanted and it was already communicated what the community wanted. Decisions are made from both the game teams or publishing team and discussed before a final decision is made.

They're expressed concerns from the community in regards to Haku's Blessing and the original design of the skill.ĭecisions aren't made from a single individual or a select number of people. The original threads linked aren't justifications for the change. You're killing the game- Maplestory is dying. Like seriously? Time to revert every kanna back to a kishin mule. DARE you to put up a public poll asking the player base what direction they want Kannas and their Haku's blessing to go. Everytime there is a community outcry, its like the refute is always chosen.Īs a community manager, I dare you. I love how major decisions are still being made off of a select vocal minority that complains annoyingly enough.
