[Server Maintenance] MapleStory 8/26

I think the fact that they named them things like "Elemental Wand 1" instead of "Glacier Wand" or something could be a tipoff. Just because it says "Element" in the name, doesn't mean it's supposed to be for a certain specific element, specifically if the weapon itself doesn't identify the element anywhere in the visible item information. Notice that the weapons do not have the description they have in some other versions. Their element isn't even identified in the item's name.

And again, Mages are hated. Can't give them something good to level on, but instead they'll make teases that are immune or resistant.

And they might have just left the data for elemental boost in but disabled it in some other way. If the data is perfectly fine in the client, that means it's serverside, right? Means a patch isn't even needed to fix this.

The descriptions weren't there in MSEA at first either.

there's so many problems with removing the amplifying abilities. It makes no sense, for one, to release these when they don't have any real benefit. Giving them a name like "elemental staff" not only implies that they have such an elemental advantage, but points it out as being the main selling point. I'm actually thinking the opposite, that if they had the "glacier staff" name then the elemental attributes are more concealed, whereas putting it in the name makes it obvious.

point is why bother releasing these because they're worthless without elemental attributes.
