They changed Haku's Blessing because it made other mages powerful.
And the only way to fix that is obviously by completely destroying Kanna's own range.
The idea of just taking away the party-buff aspect of Haku's Blessing and turning it into a self-buff is just absurd.
I have an unfunded lv200 Kanna and my damage is noticeably lower than it was before. I used to be able to hit up to 2m with critical hits, since the nerf, the highest number I've seen was 1.2m. Not to mention my range having dropped from ~300k to ~170k.
If the nerf is already this obvious on an unfunded Kanna you can imagine how big the impact is for someone who has a funded Kanna main.
And yeah, ImASpawnSlave, I'm sure everyone here is just making stuff up for no reason at all. You've caught us! Good job!
No idea who thought it would be a good idea to bring this back when it caused havoc for almost a month, but it is, and so are all the crashes, disconnections, black screens when entering/leaving CS/AH and just overall instability.
I was talking with some guildies about this. But let's take this step further and see what kind of consequences this event will have in the future. Imagine a new player who has just joined MapleStory, he or she has to select a server to play on. The first thing they see is a list with a whopping 17 servers + Reboot. Now they start clicking on each of them and see almost every single one seems to be empty. Then they click on Bera or Scania and suddenly see a server full of people. I can't speak for someone else but my decision would be easy at that point.
This also leads to my next question, and the key question that could have prevented this mess in the first place. Why does MapleStory in its current state still need this many servers? I know that when you break it down into alliances there's technically only 6 + Reboot, but a new player doesn't know that, they still see an abundance of worlds to choose from. Wouldn't it be much better, especially now that it's pretty much inevitable, to merge all these small allied servers into one so that we end up with a cleaned up serverlist that's much more manageable?
And I know this will require a lot of work but wouldn't the best case scenario be to just take Grazed, Mybckn and Khroa and squeeze them all into a fresh new world without the literal dozen of separate servers that all lead to the same place anyway.
