MabiPro: The Authentic Old-School Mabinogi Experience

I'm not at all biased when I say that giants are the best. 💪🐻💪

Don't quote me but I think Astra said he had the entire haunted house mapset ready to port over if needed. Not really going anywhere with that info, just thought I'd mention it for others to know~

Iron maces are in a tough spot. They're amazing Ego weapons, but despite being "the" 1H blunt for giants, it makes for a shoddy regular weapon as the artisan is mediocre and it lacks special upgrades. I suggest the following to help put it on even ground with existing non-giant weaponry:

1. Give it the same artisan upgrade stats as the human/elf only "Battle Sword" weapon
2. Give it the ability to have special upgrades.

I think those two changes would help give giants a more even playing field with humans. As artisans can be redone easily, players won't need to get new maces from scratch and can instead re-artisan them, and special upgrades are retroactive and thus would apply to existing items.

+1

I don't think it's possible here. They had to code a brand new system for it on Live, and since we already can't make Halos work, I think it'd be very unlikely that the transmog system could be carried over.

Giants are probably DevCat's "joke" race, being the "melee" counterpart to the elves' archery. But of course, unlike elves whose archery truly is superior to that of humans... giants don't have any better melee than humans. One of the prime reasons for that is how dual swords are much better than dual maces.

But giants, I feel, are much easier to get into than humans. Windmill is much easier to train, Stomp and Taunt give crazy amounts of STR which makes things way easier, and they have 1 more viable weaponset than humans, 2H + Shield, which gives them more variety.

Right now want to focus on getting high balance, as Cheeball said. You'll eventually want to get an Iron Mace and turn it into an Ego, as it's arguably one of the strongest Ego weapons in the game period.

I am definitely not biased btw 👀
