Now that monsterbooks are out, what are some thoughts about adding familiars? it was one of my favorite features in maplestory, and made monster hunting really fun :3
Personally, I wouldn't support this idea because they basically take all the hard work out of the game and are extremely easy to exploit, hence the fun. I was one of those people who absolutely never used potions because my familiar kept me up 24/7 and just abused the droprate ones whenever I could. It'd make 4th job mages even more of a necessity than they already are. I also didn't like the fact that you'd have familiars that looked exactly like the original monsters and made you feel like the game was bugged when you attacked your own or other peoples' familiars.
Even if the staff took away all their effects, it would be really fun to have your favorite monster following you around! :3
I wouldn't mind if they had their own custom rates, that made them a small buff, but nothing op, maybe even have them just attack or something kind of like what mages get with their dragons just a bit weaker and harder to obtain depending on the monster
I don’t support this. I say bring this up in few months when we’re all used to monster book already, but that would change the entire gameplay and I don’t want that
I'm not in favor of this idea. I can't really explain why, but the idea of familiar just turned me off, and it's wayy beyond the Big Bang era.
