  Golden Time is merged into Elemental Wave.
  
  Rage Impact is merged into Berserk.
  
  Berserk
  Increases strength, grants immunity to status, provides advanced heavy stander, and reduces intelligence and defensive stats to zero. Additionally stuns and debuffs nearby enemies. Requires a "melee weapon".
  
  Damage: 20%
  Debuff Radius: 500
  Additional Strength: 160
  Additional Melee Damage: 50%
  Berserk Duration: 16 seconds
  Debuff Duration: 10 seconds
  Cooldown: 30 seconds
  
  Magic Shield renewal
  
  1. Elemental mastery bonuses increase the effectiveness of the shield.
  (Example: Rank 1 Fire Mastery increases the damage reduction afforded by Fire Shield by 15%)
  
  2. The shield will reflect magic damage back at its caster starting at Rank 9. The amount of damage reflected depends on the skill's rank. Reflected damage is calculated prior to the damage reduction afforded by the shield.
  
  Rank 9: 25%
  Rank 8: 35%
  Rank 7: 45%
  Rank 6: 55%
  Rank 5: 75%
  Rank 4: 100%
  Rank 3: 125%
  Rank 2: 150%
  Rank 1: 200%
  
  3. The player can deploy the shield starting at Rank 5. Stand-alone shields will shatter after shunting multiple attacks.
  
  Rank 5: 3 Attacks
  Rank 4: 5 Attacks
  Rank 3: 7 Attacks
  Rank 2: 9 Attacks
  Rank 1: 11 Attacks

  Just a few things that may sound ridiculous (and I'm sure at least one of these things have been said before):
  
  - Special Upgrade Protection Pot (basically an enchant prot pot for step 6)
  - Adjusting gold rewards from SMs, quests, and commercing because of the sudden inflation due to Saga 2 Ep 6 (I know they're nerfing that eventually, but it still sucks for new players who have to pay 30-40k for holy water stacks).
  - HD Graphics update (Make everything somehow look nicer I guess. Tara would probably lag like a b**** though...)
  - More UI Color options

  I see nothing wrong with the SM, Quest, and Commerce rewards, especially quests. Any quest that gives gold is shit except for the Mimic and Skeleton fomor scrolls (which in the current game is now very under-rewarding).

  The reason why Tara lags like a bitch and loads too fucking long is because, according to Rydian, the map renders every decoration all at once - in this case the entire fucking floor and the castle - regardless of where you are.

  Shadow Missions now have their rewards increased slightly
  - Base EXP increase: +30%(50% for Lords)
  - Base Gold increase: +20%(35% for Lords)
  - Magic Spell Crystals Removed
  - Non-Enchanted Weapons Removed
  - Special Upgrade Stone Drop chance has been increased in Convoy Escort Missions and Belvast Hostage Rescue.
  
  Shadow Mission rewards are effected based on the mission's performance, and can decrease depending on actions.
  

  
  
  • Summoning a pet in an active room: 1.00%
    
  • Getting knocked out: 3.00%
    
  • Using Health Potion: (Heath Restored * 0.005) - Potion Lore's Critical Effect does not apply

  Why does everyone feel like it's their duty to balance pets for others? If your'e mad that other players are using an AoE, then that' your problem. You can choose to not use pets yourself, why does it matter to you if others do? That would set a very bad precedent.

  Because stun-pets ruin challenge in Mabi. Not only that, but its really boring to watch.It's one of those things that affects the overall health of the game.
  
  If you look at it from a GvG standpoint, anyone can stunlock eachother until the other dies,and that's incredibly unbalanced
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Name changing feature : Takin names (This is geared towards players who have good names, but accounts who's been inactive for years)
  
  Basically, you can bid on any user's name, long as that character have been inactive for a entire year.A week warning will be givien to that user who is having their name bid on to either accept and receive payment or decline.If that user accepts,they will be nameless''Userxxx'' Until name is changed. I have a feeling some people are going to want their name changed badly,but not abandon their hard work
  
  Perma-name locks are available for users so no-one has to worry about losing their name. Just log in to lock it lool
  
  History list will show user's past names. Can be toogled on and off similar to player's inv [S]Inappropriate names that slipped through will have some parts blurred out in history doh
  [/S]
  [S]Vip service can hold up to 2 changeable names,but idk about that one soo yea lol[/S]

  That system from Secret missions could really be used more, with better efficiency.

  That sounds more like a problem with you than the game. If you don't want to use stun pets, don't. If you don't want to watch people who use stun pets, then don't. I have and don't use stun pets and I never had a problem with this.

  You say that, then suggest a feature where people who may have become temporarily inactive could come back to their name missing because they weren't warned about it before the feature existed, and potentially kill the player's optimism for a return and quit right back again. Yes, that's the perfect way to keep a game healthy and active! > .>
  
  If anything, a name change system should work similar to existing trades, where both players are still active and not dead/temp-dead accounts, and the players can offer to each swap names, or one person give their name to the other and the other be assigned a User#### as you suggested, with the option of adding items/currency in it to (like an enchant entrust).
  
  What kind of respectable game would let you steal from inactive players?

  AOE pets have zero cost opportunity.
  
  If the actions of other players have no influence on you, then it's about time we brought back pake. That's a terrible argument but go ahead and move the goal back instead of losing ground to the possibility that you might be wrong.
  
  Your second argument is valid.

  I wasn't aware stun-pet spamming was a problem made by meh. Did I create stat inflation too?
  
  First of all , that's not a me problem, its a Mabinogi problem.Being able to stop mobs dead in their tracks with the simple press of a button seems pretty bad, Don't you think?Imagine how players can potentially break the game with this. (This video is for example purposes only)
  [video=youtube;UBlZP5nF3Zw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBlZP5nF3Zw[/video]
  
  some elements just plan and simple needs a toning down.In games with actual GOOD designs, you will not find any of this.I know some people like yourself doesn't believe balance is possible anyway. I'm not surprised its alright with you.I'm more surprised you're knocking others ideas of rebalance.
  
  And like I stated previously, I will rarely use stun pets. Only when im near deadly and that is my breaker. I'm talking about people who'd hardcore buy stun pets to help them run things over or stay alive forever.

  Second,calm down.Re-read my last post or pay close attention to this one.
  
  If someone quit mabi years ago,and someone else wanted their name,what's the harm in that?And this feature is geared towards inactive names of people who quit years ago. I think that sounds pretty fair.Since it's a one year wait, and you can lock your name on day 1. So if your definition of temporarily is one year, then I believe i'm not the one with a problem.Nexon could easy give a month heads up to warn players,along with the one year before it actually happens. The only way to lose your main character's name is to be extremely inactive to a point where you don't care.
  
  Stated many times already, there's no possible way to lose your main character's name.Even if someone is really inactive from breaking, their friends could let them know whats going on.I know of some people on this very site now who quit the game, but still deal with mabi when it comes to events and new items. I'm pretty sure word can spread quick.There could even be a function to submit a ticket without being ingame,so even if you're offline due to real life things, you can just send that in.That requires hiring more people at Nexon though, their ticket system is lacking.And a messaging system similar to the old youtube, that lets you know when important changes are happening or events overall

  Third.That seems like a ok suggestion to be apart OF the name changing system, but again,my idea is geared towards users who've quit long ago,and blocked off desired names.You can't trade someone name if you cannot gain access to the inactive/ dead account since they've quit.Hence, inactive. Unless you suggest hacking a user's account just to trade names,then your idea couldn't work for users who quit/ lost their account, email and pass.Which means it'd be impossible to trade some names.

  If you truly quit mabi, who cares if you lost your name? I'm sure at that stage,that player is happily enjoying another company that actually knows how to run their game.The only reason I'm still here is because I believe this game is still saveable. And honestly, I could careless for negative opinions, if someone doesn't know what their talking about. I care for constructive criticism only.

  Quests I agree. I don't even quest lol. Idk why I said that.
  
  For SM and Commerce well, maybe I'm undermining how much gold you can get from it if you do it daily, but if anything maybe a minor percentage increase like a 5% - 7% increase.

  Some way to zoom in and out without a mouse. Because mine's wont scroll anymore.
  
  The hotkey just affects the visual distance, but doesn't do anything to zooming at all.

  If your mouse is working but not the scroll wheel and you don't mind mabi taking up your whole screen, you can use full screen. When you put your mouse at the bottom of the screen it zooms out, and at the top it zooms in. If you needed it, you can also use the left and right sides to rotate the camera.

  But if that only works in Fullscreen mode then that's pretty silly. I have forums to read too ya know.

  The entire storylines of G17, Saga 1, and Saga 2 completely erased from existence. I'm not kidding about this one. Everything - from the dipshit plot and the dumbass characters to the horrible designs like the lack of prerequisites, the stupid mini-games, and the Macha fight - were all very poorly executed and made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Seriously, why the hell do people even like Millia or Akule when all they did was hinder us greatly?
  
  "What about the Perseus reward and the Saga coupon rewards?" - Move them to G16 completion and Adventurer Seal Shop, respectively.
