Battle mage & Wild hunter ETA

KMS got dual bladers in February, we're getting them 6 months later in July. So I think it's reasonable to say that by the end of this year we'll see the big bang update. Hopefully, none of the resistance classes will require NX.

Thoughts?

I'm betting they do need NX.
But yeah, I expect it by the end of January.

There's no reason to assume they will need NX. There's nothing about it in KMST thus far and I would assume that means there won't be.

Was there anything in KMST about dual bladers needing NX? I don't think they'd put that stuff in the test realm since no one will buy NX anyway.

Iirc, there was skill books in CS in KMST.

For some reason, I think that these jobs will come next year (june 2011). My main reason for this is because they are going to need to stretch out content for a bit, or else updates will start running like JMS and just have event patches.

Yes. There were skill books in KMST's cash shop. Remember them costing 0 NX?

I didn't really keep up with dual blader info because at the time I was busy with school and hadn't planned on coming back.

So there weren't any books in the KMST CS for wild hunters or battle mages?

Nope.

Guess I just blanked out there.
Yeah, guess they won't be needing NX. MOST LIKELY.

Excellent.

Typical content delay is 6 months. I expect Revamp in January and Resistances in February. Maybe March if they want to delay it or something and VDay Events.

Sorry to dissapoint you guys, but it's more that likely going to be a December update for GMS.

Due to the No brainerism of the global staff, they'll follow up the resistance with the maplestory v2.0 patch during New years as a "Fresh start in maplestory."

"Start off 2011 with a new Fresh! First patch of the year: Maple Story Big Bang! Each and every class gets an awesome powerup to fend off the Black Mage!" ~January

"Continue 2011 with brand new classes: THE RESISTANCE! You saw what the Black Mage has done to our precious land, THE TIME TO RESIST IS NOW." ~Feb/March

I expect filler for December.

They released aran in december, iirc.

Are the class-specific quests for the classes fully implemented yet in kMST? There might still be a possibility if the classes still aren't finished.

Evans and dual bladers only took about 4 months to get to gMS, although gMS is relatively quite quick to pick up new classes. I'm thinking November or December for the revamp so that the new classes could come out over the holidays, during which the kids could get nx as christmas presents, lol xP

You know, I wonder where the GM's fit in the maplestory plot.

"THE BLACK MAGE RUINED OUR LAND!!!!"

Ah.... No.... That was cody's fault because he told the graphics team to clusterfuck the map. JUST LIKE YOUTUBE'S NEW LAYOUT! YAY!

Not to sound like a douche, but I hope you gMSers dont get the new EXP table.
Leveling is already a joke in gMS, with the new EXP your 4x or watever-x buffs and CS cards will make it even more of a joke.

It's not like the rankings mean anything anymore to begin with.

With over 9000 hene-hoes racing to level 200 on bishops, it's just an everyday thing until the revamp ultimatly dooms them.

I mean, look at when the cygnus knights were released, the most disgusting thing I'd ever seen on a game is Sigila. He/she bought 120 levels within 18 hours, so glad he/she got banned at PB though.

lol'd
well, also your xwatever buffs are going to get raped.
Family 2x is now Family 1.2x and can only be done solo. Family Reunion is 1.5x.

off-topic : what a douche ^ ..

On-topic : Srsly hope msea gets all those first. Missing 3 patches in a year is already depressing enough :/

(Note: I'm from MapleSEA)
What I want is...

Next patch:
RotA Balance Patch

Patch after that:
Dual Blade + Item Rating System

Patch after the patch after that:
MSBB, inclusive of new EXP table. I don't mind them "fixing" the EXP for the World Tour maps, but please don't fix the drop rate. I love Malaysia's ridiculous drop rate; it will probably be the unID equip farming map of choice. :p

I kinda suspect there is an episode 3. I mean MSEA DID delay all the updates and release al lof them at once. Of course, I may be wrong
