What Would You Want Fix In Mabi
Comments
- Make it optional whether you want to solo your Gen quests or do it other people. It's not as fun when you're soloing all the time. In the lore, there are other Milletians beside you anyways.
-Give summoned golems and Pets the same cooldowns with their skills the player characters have.
- Make transformationary mastery a more viable way to fight. It's more of a cosmetic skill at the moment. Using it right now is like purposely handicapping yourself to a few basic skills or to crash other people's weddings.
Tell that to they guy in alexina who will only do shadow missions as a trans horse and has been for the 3 years ive been here if not longer. He seems to be quite content with transformation mastery.
I feel that having a pet out and using Divine Link is much more fun and effective.
I liked Saga 1. The characters were good. Regarding Macha's fight, we never actually 'beat' her but held her at bay until Tarlach could tap the power he did, which allowed Milletians to destroy Lia Fail and send her back. Interfering with the Gods is all we've ever been able to do in "fights" involving them. Also, bear in mind, that Macha was actively funneling power to use to destroy Erinn, which Tarlach also got rid of. I would love to see Dowra and Maike come back because they are good characters with notable traits (granted not all are good). Maike is the first elf I've seen that has had FIRE in them. He hates Giants and he will tell that to their faces and he does! Dowra is an awesome lady who leads the Black Ravens, Vales' elite fighting force! She isn't above teasing her enemies (Maike) and knows when to knock it off and ask the important questions.
Saga 2, however, was bad. I've said this in another thread, but Merlin and company were so under-utilized. Having just TWO of your FIVE Aces involved in the storyline was pathetic and what involvement J, Starlet and Culinary Artist was easily forgettable, since it amounted to a picnic and an uncoordinated concert. The gameplay was extraordinarily awkward and annoying (skiing, running away from the Cessair with the red field after you, the mission with the boars and how your stats took a massive hit during it, pirate duels). The plot in it of itself once it finally got going was hard to follow. For example, what was the deal with the moon? Why does the game mention THREE children in the portion where you're putting phrases together?

I'm going to stop talking about Saga 2 there because I'll go on for hours about it. Anyway, I believe another big problem with Mabinogi is the fact that directors change and so too does the story. For example, the first three generations dealt with the Missing Warriors, saving a Goddess from a God, you training to be a Paladin and running into one of the warriors that disappeared who turns into your enemy due to an opportunistic enemy (who is still potentially at large). Four-Six is the Iria stuff, but due to a later update, the Elven and Giant stuff got merged with G2, to make getting transformations easier. We return to Iria and our enemy missing warrior in 7 and 8. Then in 9-12 we're introduced to Alchemy, and a pair of new gods and even the land of the gods. Then, we're suddenly cast into plays by Shakespeare, which during the storyline for chapters 13-16, there is some story linking to the Gods granted, but its minimal and feels off. Then we go to Nightmare where the Saga storyline starts popping in. The transition is a lot more natural to us seeing some weird guy as we're investigating demons and then we suddenly turn into one ourselves, rather than "hey i'm merlin and i'm stuck babysitting a kid i'm going to have to chase around the world for!".
I thought they were supposed to fix that with the New Introductory stuff?
One can dream.
If I could "fix" anything though, it would mostly be small changes to skills, like very slightly reducing final hit damage, increasing smash damage, etc.
Nothing to the point of making things useless, but rather to make it so one single move does not dominate the entirety of one's playstyle.
Leave my Strength defense alone! And Armor Mastery. What have you got against being able to take a hit?
And why would you change the moon gates back to 12 hours?
I would get rid of the lag, and make things Client Side rather than Server side. Severely nerf the AFK events. The timers are far too long and all it dose is pad out "activity" stats for Mabi since so many people are logged in. However, the vast super majority are just standing around doing nothing.
I would fix all the skills are uniform in regards to movement and "holding them" if you will. Some you can use and move around, Others you can't and it's pretty gorram arbitrary. Take Whirl Wind for example. Why in the verse can't you move when that is loaded? By the time you cancel your target lock, and then the skill it's too late and something has hit you which wouldn't have happened if you could use your legs. By "holding" skills I mean keeping them loaded. Why is Counter Attack able to be loaded for all time while Lance Counter is limited? And why is it that if you get a love tap while loading a skill the skill gets put on cool down?
I would also add some teleportation skill for Giants. Elves have Final Shot and Humans have Final Hit, both teleportation skills. And reduce the cd on Throw to be about 1 second because with load time, as it stands, a beginner takes upwards of 10 seconds to actually throw a javelin.Add in the very noticeable lag and you are looking at 12+ seconds, A 1 second cd would still end up being usable every 5 seconds or so.
I would also lift the restriction on Bows and Crossbows for Giants, lances for Elves, and dual wielding for everyone to include mixing and matching what is in the main and off hands. If a Giant can make a gun, why can't he use a crossbow? It's effectively the same thing.
Lastly, remove Saga 2. It is quite frankly a train wreck and shows a distinct fall in quality when compared to Saga 1. And stop with nerfing player stats, and stop with the constant forced solo mission. This is supposed to be a MMO not some single player game with multiplayer tacked on as an afterthought.
Actually, I'm going to make my own MMO. With blackjack and hookers!
Like say an enemy gets dischorded and runs after you moving slowly.
But then dischord wears off (they aren't purple anymore), but the enemy still looks like it's moving slowly, when as far as the server is concerned, it's back to moving at full speed, and you seemingly get whacked by the enemy teleporting towards you to attack you.
Or any of the various other displacement things. (Shock discharging while you're running, fireball landing while you're running, ice spear exploding, explosive kunai getting triggered, activating fantastic chorus while moving)
Or the unholy teleporting that is rafting.
There's definitely ways to tolerate and deal with these issues (usually involving knowing the sources of displacement and planning your actions around them i.e. clicking to move after the displacing action triggers, using shield of trust to update your position) but it shouldn't be something ya gotta deal with anyways.
Nexon: It is not a glitch, some monsters just have Final Hit!
Actually, "fixing" is the correct term in this case still, since they consider that thing to be the problem, and thus removal or nerf will fix that problem. This is clearly the intention of this post considering that the OP calls for the removal of something that is "supposed" to exist.
We aren't discussing (solely) a bug or glitch problem, the problem is mabi as a whole is not as enjoyable as it can be due to X reason, and thus the fix to that problem is the suggestions in this thread.

Make Giant Melee Great Again™
Make Elves useful
Fix Giant Lance distance issues. Tired of trying to charge/attack stuff and eating magnum shots for it
Merge Ruairi and Tarlach (idk what Mari population is like but I think these two servers can benefit a lot from a merge.)
Name change item
It seems that manual prices have lowered and there are a lot of ways to increase the experience you get (active talent, reforges on blacksmiths hammer, events, skill training seals, etc....), but the higher ranks get extremely expensive and difficult. Like, 0.08xp per success and really low success rates.
I'm not saying make it a breeze, I'm just saying make it less hellish.
EDIT: Also the dang Alexina's L-Rod quest. Seen it a few times and just want to emphasize it further.
