Bug Fixes/Changes
- There is a known issue with using Dual Blade Mastery books. Please make sure you have at least 1 SP before using the book in order to gain the 1 SP gained from the Mastery Books.

Pretty well-hashed out event patch, but nothing more than a filler month for things to come, in my opinion. Though who knows what we may all think six weeks from now.

>- The Visitors Episodic Event: This gMS exclusive content is now available to all players. Alien ships are appearing over the skies of Maple World and they are deploying troops. Are you brave enough to face off with the aliens? Each stage will last for a set period of time before the next stage opens.


Dohohohohohohoho.

The hell's up with 2x in 30 min increments? I mean I'm not complaining, but it just seems weird. Hope the Most Wanted quest doesn't pick crap monsters. Also interested in the Sunday event--does that just mean that dropped items have a better chance to come out above-average or do they have an increased droprate overall as well? Does it mean there's a greater chance to find unidentified gear?

Good luck killing Snowman at level 65, guys.

Wear the suit when doing the final missions hm? I wonder why...

Lol at the DB book "solution."
And I chuckled at gms exclusive.
Good patch.

Someone said it does over 20k touch damage, the suit must lower it somehow.

Dohohohohohohoho.

I sense hope for Masteria. If they really did work on this, and as I have said before, it's VERY nicely eye appealing, stage 3 is nice, I'm holding back stage 4 judgement but I found stage 1 tobe boring Stage 2 ok Stage 3 wayy better. So if this is the case and they really did make this exclusive content? Dare I say? Hope?

-scrolls down to Bug Fixes-

*disappointed*

Masteria is dead.

The Boss Killing levels are very screwed up...

Tae Roon for Lvl 90+? Eliza for 81-89? Snowman for 66-80?
I lol'ed.

I think he's pointing to the fact that Thai MS receieved this content as well.

But to be fair to Nexon AM, who is to say that Thai MS didn't copy this content from us?

We are the more established MS, and if Thai MS got this, then Maple Sea should have gotten this as well, yet it didn't.

I honestly believe Nexon AM made this and not Thai MS.

Masteria is dead.

Proof?There was content for it last October.

MSEA just got a patch like 1 week ago. Thai got this when it was released in Tespia.

No dragon Pon?

Werid, it was listed before.

I'd rather see reasoning behind your hope in masteria.

Yeah, i was looking at that. Mu Lung is gonna be a nightmare, and have fun if you're not a mage and between 60 and 80, because that 500/sec cloud is gonna destroy everyone else.

I'd rather see reasoning behind your hope in masteria.

I'ma stubborn believer thats why. The fact there was content and yet even in Thanksgiving talking about Karkia and adding onto NPCs shows that NEXON hasn't forgotten about it. You can argue that HH2 wasn't content and it ONLY added 3 maps. Those maps are VERY good training, at least there was something added onto Masteria, as bad as the quests sucked there was still content.

I think he's pointing to the fact that Thai MS receieved this content as well.

Sort of. I was mainly pointing out how they said it's their exclusive content, and they also said they spent months making it, they never once said anything about ThaiMS.


ThaiMS releases at the same time as Tespia, and an incomplete version at that. So ThaiMS ripped us off, not the other way around.
