KMS 1.2.189 - Skills!

When Nexon says they have something special in store for us, I've learned to take it with a grain of salt. Just take a look at Tempest. Nexon promised that it would be ground-shattering in the way it would change the game. Everyone was speculating 5th job to be the next big move. And while it did provides some pretty nice events and lowered the job adv levels, it wasn't anything overly mind-boggling. Cygnus Returns? Same deal. Nexon assured everyone that with the level cap raised, that they would provide high level content- something that veterens have always wanted. And what do we get? A new area containing lack-luster maps with 180-200 monsters that provide lesser exp than what we already have at HoH. Granted it is a little early to make heads or tails of what's in store for the future, but going by what we've been presented already... I'm a little less than enthused. (although, not surprised).

I mean... there's nothing wrong with hoping for something new and exciting, but it's like I say... 'Hope for the best, but expect the worst'. Calling it now, all the anniversary is going to offer is a shop with pretty items, and maybe a few quests for coins and gimmicks involved. Just as the last two did.

Their stockholder letter for last quarter indicates a Tier 1 Update in conjunction with the Anniversary patch for MapleStory, and while the letter itself just defines that Tier 1 Updates are "Large scale updates to existing PC games typically launched in Q1 or Q3 around peak season", a look into what Nexon considers Tier 1 updates shows that they're "the types of updates that we do about every 12 to 18 months that are major expansions to the games", and that there also wasn't any Tier 1 Updates planned for Q4 2012 in Korea in a transcript of their Q3 2012 conference call, which I would think implies that nothing they released in Q3 was a Tier 1 Update either.

Honestly, I wouldn't take these at face value, and they're probably not as significant as they think they'll be, at least not to actual players, but they do have something planned for the anniversary, ten's pretty special after all, other than just a shop with pretty items.

MapleStory performance has
been down lately, but we expect it to perform better in response to content
updates in Q2 2013.'

I'm curious what this is...

Hoping they deliver. Don't want any more classes for a long time.

Someone on basil quoted a KMS GM saying that we will be getting new classes this year along with new content and training areas that "don't involve training".

But yeah, new classes are a definite, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I saw the thread. They gave no source. Even if they gave us a source, it would've been well known by now.

Ah ok, thanks Arrol. I tried to find it but Basil's retarded 1 thread a second mentality made it impossible.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure we will be getting more classes. We've still got more Nova's to come i'm guessing.

Yeah nvm, the classes part is preset. No denying that, but you can hope lol.

Suu already is. This was revealed in the Evolving World quest line.

Wait, what?!

I thought Gelimer brainwashed him and took him for his own purposes, independant of the Black Mage.

Black Mage sure does love backstabbing his generals and sending them towards the Resistance.

.....

Which are evil in future Perion..... no, it's just another defemation attempt!

Gelimer betrayed Orca for the Black Mage. Orca's allegiance was less to the Black Mage and more towards her brother, which is why she defected to the resistance after being betrayed.

We don't have a water mage :O It would be cool if they based her around that.

I'd like an illusionist
