Edit: Yay, I found info showing lukless mages aren't dead!

[Cabbage Emperor]

BigBang update in KMST. -_-

So, anybody know if 80 luk is good now?

edit: Magical avoid needs more luk though. =P  

[TaerkDS]

What did they change to make them be 'screwed'?

Edit: Never mind, I found out why.

Edit 2: This patch brings tears of happiness to my eyes. I only hope it reaches GMS.  

[Cabbage Emperor]

You didn't answer my second question about mages and luk. >.<

And, it'll probably be here in 6 months. =P

From what I've seen, you'll be fine at your current LUK. You'll have misses here and there, though and with the new system misses will be showing up more.

I really don't know what to say, it is under testing, so we can't make an assumption yet.  

[Cabbage Emperor]

No, there was a video of a lukless bishop missing a Ligator somewhere so. -_-; screwed.

Well, I gotta find it. Someone said something on basil about it.

Well, can't trust that since the guy never posted the vid link. >_>  

[Uffs]

That made me squeal with delight. Wild Hunter? SO my style! Can't wait for GMS. :'D

I'm looking forward to the battle mage, but I won't make one. 'Cause I'm still not satisfied with my i/l  

[phillipo]

Wow, that's insane. I might have to try playing again after that hits GMS. I'm so behind since I quit my Dark Knight 2 years ago.

There's so much to take in though. I'm getting a little anxiety just reading it all. I haven't even explored any areas that came out just before and after Pirates were released.  

[Cabbage Emperor]

Well, big bang is kinda like maplestory is resetting itself.

Victoria will barely look the same.  

[Uffs]

@Cabbage..true.

How do you guys feel about that? Do you want Maple to stay the same, or do you think it's time for an update?

I really don't mind the changes in skills, but I do think the change in layout of Victoria will take some getting used to. It will be advantageous for traveling by foot (and for new users) but for more experienced users, it'll be confusing.

I've done some personal developing and I actually agree that this is probably for the best. (Avid developers like to change/fix stuff)  

[phillipo]

I've been playing since Beta (well, played until I quit about 2 years ago) and I had the entire game memorized by heart.

There was a lot of stuff that could be improved, and I strongly believe they could quite possibly achieve that with a full revamp like this.

For example, most of the maps in Vic are almost completely useless right now. Especially when you travel between Henesys and Lith Harbor. *Feels really strange recounting these names after so long away from MS*

So new or old player alike, it's like playing a brand new game. And that's an exciting thought.  

[BlackFireEX]

Exciting? Most definitely agree with phillipo.

Even though I'm lukless myself, I'm not THAT worried whether I'll have enough magic acc at the moment. Will be converting one of my bishops to low luk just incase.. Lol
Things are still in the testing, and it might not be the same for GMS.

But to me, it smells like you have enough luk, though not sure whether that's base or not, you can probably get more than enough luk from other equips. (Should be asking, What level are you?)
Don't wanna over luk yourself.  

[Cabbage Emperor]

I'm level 63...was almost 64 and then they reset my char 'cause of this exploited meso thing. scream

I'm gonna stay lukless. The mage accuracy formula is 1.2*int+luk. Found it somewhere. >.>  

[BlackFireEX]

Macc=1.2*INT + LUK + AccFromGear
