Have you seen Bethesda?
Did you ever ask yourself "Why don't they just do this simple obvious thing that everyone will love"
They are retarded and people don't complain (read stop paying them) enough to force them to actually do anything radical.

The devs are obviously colossally incompetent. That's the premise of the story.

The game is made by Blizzard

because 99.9999999% of the who play the game aren't stat dumpers and are balanced against each other.

reworking the balance of the game to nerf maple would destroy the game for everyone else.

plus it would make them look shitty to target a single player.

NWO seems to be one of the first VRMMOs so there's lot of uncharted territory there

remember when you can just Catch an Abra and destroy all of Gen I?
remember when the first FF was difficult, until you choose monk and and stayed on that peninsula?
remember metal blades?
remember oddjob?

sometimes your more focused on actually making this shit a thing than whether it's balanced

This.
If you balance around the 1%, then the rest of the population would basically drop dead from no dps and no defence. There will always be overpowered people, but it is fine as long as they stay a minority. The game should be balanced around the masses.

Just ban maple

Honestly they've done relatively well from what we can see, they added armor pen attacks (a staple of MMO's generally but what armor pen actually means varies from game to game), they nerfed Devour to have a limit of 10 uses per day so she can just solo an entire army with it since it's basically a 1 shot attack. The only other thing that comes to mind is the time Maple abused a slime so hard they had to shut down servers for a few days to fix the exploit.

>Just ban maple
Can't. She is famous and indirectly marketable to new players.
"Look at what you could become if you play our game!" (even though we nerfed most of the means that got her there)

it reminded me of all those powerful Path of Exile items that I only manage to obtain once they are all nerfed to uselessness.

You can still do 3 servers worth of DPS if you build properly.

Why didn’t any other player copy her build? They made change with Hydra but it was useless as fuck

Because they made it impossible to copy her build on the first patch.

her item discovery is broken

Reminder that no matter how broken her defense was her being able to one-shot anyone whatsoever is a huge asspull.

But Sally does it all the time. Just teleports behind you and nothing personnels you.

Will we ever see an anime featuring a videogame where said game's developers aren't either hilariously incompetent or downright psychopaths?

No because that wouldn't make for very good storytelling

But what if the anime, while using the game for 90% of the on-screen action, focuses around the interpersonal relationships between the players and how playing the game influences them on the real world?
It can be done without the game having a retard becoming overpowered or the hardware literally killing people

That sounds really boring.

You are boring!

How about a treasure hunt for the overpowered bullshit some dude made and then lost due to how death works in the game.

>Why didn't the devs just rework the damage formulas?
1) They did. Applied restrictions to Mapple specifically too.
2) There is no devs, its AIs for whole world is intergral and natural and that can't just change the things drasticly as its not changing the "code" its changing themselves.

EVE online is boring

Typical pandering shit for midwits, mc wins cause everybody else is too retarded to figure out basic things.

It's more like GTA and Tarkov mixed

ecept you cant lose "trasure" in GTA and Tarkov, there is no valuables like that. And in EVE some guy just did recently, trying to transport all his wealth of 18 years of playing and getting robbed on the way

you don't fix what ain't broken

You lose anything on you in Tarkov, and I was talking about the game in the LN I posted in particular.

Can't be, not enough coercion to whale ingame and very little monetization

They don't know her skills or how she got them, also, it's impossible to do unless you find a new dungeon to find equipment to put skills in. She has no mana so if she didn't have the free skills every day she wouldn't have been able to use the poison skills.

They keep putting in OP easter eggs thinking nobody will ever find them, and then were shocked that someone found them. And they chose to pretend it didn't happen.
Nothing the devs did made any sense.
This is about cute girls doing cute things. The author clearly never intended the game to make sense.

Now THAT would be pretty unbelievable.

they weren't online and couldn't be patched on a whim, this is a mmo

nigger tranny faggot op kill uyourselff

>Nothing the devs did made any sense.

This story is based on the early stages of Maple Story, hence the name of the protagonist. Just like many other MMOs, the game developers had grand dreams of how their games should be played. And just like how WoW and Path of Exile eventually strayed away from their initial designs, so did the real life Maple Story game.

Hint; a perfectly balanced game is boring.

You have a thread already

Is Mapple immunity against poison good against covid19?

A virus is not poison

>Hint; a perfectly balanced game is boring.
It's literally the other way around. Unbalanced games are boring because everyone bandwagons whatever is overpowered.

>t. nofun allowed nerf everything pl0x autist

Isn't that build divers?

>who cares about balance
>whole classes become extreme rarity to find other people playing because they are deadweight
>boss just disappeared right after entrance because everyone used the iwin button
>nothing fun ever happens in the game because PvE has the E getting destroyed and PvP is the 10% of viable classes fighting as anything else is just instant loss

In a game this poorly balanced, everyone would play like her. Especially considering it's literally a zero-IQ strat that a kitten could execute.
Yeah, maybe not everybody would do this, but everybody she would encounter (the top 10%, at least) would be.

She's basically playing a WoW death knight, except the death knight starts at the start of the expansion as strong as he should be at the end, so he can solo raids by himself etc. The idea that anyone could sincerely defend that is so idiotic it's beyond articulation.
Then again, that is typical of waifufags

Biggest problem with these MMO-insert animes is that japs are all shit at video games because of muh respect no criticism for bad play

Because Maple's pits would be negatively affected by any major changes.

>nerfing what's essentially a VR celebrity
It's like you idiots want the game to die.

Maple is a cute as fuck girl.
Guild master to a guild filled with other cute as fuck girls.
Known for the sheer insanity of her build which doesn't really use to grief people with outside of major server events.
Why would you literally get rid of the best advertisement your MMO will ever have?

The devs are Todd and his friends.

>tfw no lesbian succubus wife partner

this desu I bet all the gaming news outlets report her escapades on a regular basis

Maple should start streaming her online escapades she would make mad twitchbux off of horny virgins

Log Horizon? It becomes a Isekai but the game formulas are balanced.

She looks cute

Devs seem to say fuck balance and just make it a game for the people to have fun with. they've gauged the average persons potential and designed bosses around them and added super bosses for the top players. Each level they add more things. They aren't even in end game yet.

Maple want up

Yeah, might've been interesting if the cast was actually restricted by the game rules.
MC starts tearing it down after the first couple of arcs.
