The Big Bang change of Maplestory

So a month or two ago, the Big Bang change marched into maple world. It was the biggest event in maple history, and the biggest patch. It included three new classes; the Wild Hunter, Battle Mage, and recently released Mechanics. The biggest changes that were added in are new maps and the EXP Curve. The new maps shows the further destruction of maple world and how the Black Mage destroyed it, or so I believe. The EXP Curve, which is very impressive, cut down the EXP requirements which makes leveling up 5x easier.


Now, new classes do not seem like a big deal to me because Nexon has added new classes since Pirates. I am not saying that I like the idea, me being an old maplestory user I was only introduced to four classes; Mage, Thief, Bowman, and Warrior. In my opinion, ever since these new classes came out, there was an imbalance between adventurers and new classes.. For now I just hope they fix that pretty soon, because, Wild hunters, Battle mage and Mechanics are MAJOR Kill Stealer's AKA Ksers. Everywhere you go, a Wild Hunter is hack training (as in sitting in one area while bombs go up all over the map), and Mechanics fire abilities and damage put adventures to a disadvantage.


For new maps, its an improvement in some ways. This made walking around and traveling much easier but no matter what I still miss the old maplestory. The EXP Curve, is a good thing because you don't have to work as hard, and when you get to level 130+ that's when the challenge really starts.

Over all, I am not a big fan of the Big Bang update, or any update that happened after Pirates. I mean, Pirates were an amazing addition because that class has amazing skills. But ever since Nexon added Cygnus Knights e.t.c. it threw off maplestory for me.

I wish I could go back to the old maplestory.. But wishes don't always come true.

  1. Man, thats so true. Thanks for posting this. I feel much better now, knowing there's someone who feels the same about the Big Bang Update. Sigh. Gonna miss traveling Kerning City Swamps to Sleepywood. Gonna miss traveling to Ellinia watching the sun rays escape down from the trees. And the old Lith Harbor. Grr.
