Except that it's not "no reason". Once again Nexon is choosing to maintain the imbalance between the Heros + new classes and the older classes. This is not acceptable to me or anyone else who has been shafted time and time again by staggered revamps. We watch some select classes become vastly more powerful while we fall farther and farther behind. This time it's almost worse. Ever since Tempest with the surprise release of Hypers with Kaiser, Explorer hypers have been danging just out of reach. We've seen them in KMS and it's absolutely everything we've been asking for for months! Only now it's being pushed back farther and farther for new content we're simply not equipped to enjoy like Root Abyss and Magnus because it wasn't designed with pre-Hyper classes in mind.
I have always hated the staggered revision process of classes because it inevitably leaves any class not recently revised severely underpowered.
If you play one of the new classes, you probably don't get it. I've been preparing for BM hypers for literally months. I have a stock pile of 100k NX just waiting to cube when I finally get a secondary weapon. I will finally be on par with Mercedes. My mobbing damage will quadruple and I'll be able to solo v2 Empress instructors. My bossing damage will double and I'll be damn near hitting damage cap before split damage and will far exceed it with Terms and Conditions which will open Normal Mode Magnus to me.
While Root Abyss is fantastic content and under any other situation I would be happily enjoying it, it doesn't compare with Hypers for Explorers and Resistance because by giving it to us out of order, we aren't capable of fully participating. This patch, which seems a rehash of old content mixed with maybe 2 new events, is nearly pointless and not at all a motivation for me to play except 10minutes a day at RLH for totems and to get the last 10 lvls on my MM. Big whoopiedie do.
This rant is not entirely directed at you and mostly consists of me venting a great deal of frustration.
