Hello, this has been a problem since forever almost, where attacking familiars have really loud sounds that can interfere with gameplay.
A lot of bosses in Maplestory have attacks and patterns that you can rely on sound as well as watching the bosses, but when there's 3 familiars following you and attacking randomly it can be hard to hear ( yes the sound for all 3 stacks and especially in party bossing where it becomes unbearable)
An easy solution for that could be so make familiars not attack at all, we don't use familiars for damage in that way, them attacking deal almost no damage and we only rely on the buffs they give.
or if possible add a volume slider specifically for familiars because muting the Monster VFX slider mutes the familiars attacks sounds BUT it also does mute the all boss' attacks.
The better option is to just remove the gender flag from all items. It doesn't have any gameplay changing effects so there's no reason for it to exist at this point.
Well, the gender of the character does affect some gameplay, including NPC dialogue, character voice lines, and also I think only ark has a different skill animation on their 5th job skill depending on character gender.
It would be really nice to have an item that lets you change your characters gender, the main reason im suggesting this is because everytime I look at a cash shop update I kind of get jealous at the pretty things the other gender gets in terms of hair styles, faces and clothing.
Would love to hear other people's opinion on this.
