Holy crap! I never knew about this! :oooo

I'd like to first give thanks to IGN for reporting, and Notify for informing us of the news.

A wave of pandemonium is about to hit Maple World as Chaos hits MapleStory this summer. The 2-D side-scrolling MMORPG from Nexon will feature a new series of major content updates that will unfold throughout the next two months.

The Black Mage was subdued during Big Bang, but not all is well. Chaos will run rampant this month when the Age of Heroes update comes to MapleStory on June 29. This update will feature the brand new Gate to the Future, which introduces brand new quests, zones and a whole new high level boss for players to battle.

Players will soon be able to party up and explore the Gate to the Future and its surrounding ruins, which contain mutated versions of low level monsters that may be familiar to veteran fans. These mutants however are much more powerful than their counterparts and will prove to be quite the challenge. Additionally, inside the new zone Dark Ereve is the Knight Stronghold, which is filled with Cygnus Knight enemies that have the same types of skills as the Cygnus Knight characters players can create. Players will be able to battle their way through the Henesys Ruins and the Knight Stronghold to investigate the corruption of Empress Cygnus and her knights, which will ultimately prove to be the most formidable challenge in the entire game.

Players will also experience a complete hero class rebalancing coming to MapleStory as a part of the Age of Heroes. Restrictions for creating Dual Blade, Aran and Evan classes will be lifted, and these classes will have various new skills added and return as completely revamped characters. Even further, the Explorers, Cygnus and Resistance classes will return more powerful than ever as their main skills will be enhanced. But Maple World must beware: in the wake of new alliances forged, players should be on the lookout for new class relationships as old friends can just as quickly become bitter enemies.

Four more major content additions will be joining the Age of Heroes during the Chaos update series this summer. The month of July will introduce the Age of Artisans, which will unveil a new level-based item crafting system. The Age of Battle will kick off the much anticipated player vs. player (PvP) mode to MapleStory, and later players must band together to take on a fearsome enemy during the Ice Knight update. More details about the update will be announced as players continue to battle their way through Chaos.

"Four more updates..."
*Reads*
So...where's the 4th one?

Nexon is being so secretive about that last update.

That trailer was surprising really, really good. Wish they showed the entire battle though.

The Korean trailer has more of the fight.

The Black Mage was subdued during Big Bang,

O.o
Do they know what the word means or they pay no attention to what nexon made-up plot for the revamp was?

The fight is trailer only for the PvP update. There was another trailer for the heroes revamp and the proffesional skills, it even hinted dark ereve.

For me this trailer sucked. It was just a collage of the PvP trailer, a bit of the big bang trailer, a few images and some text on top.

That trailer is actually pretty good, for NexonAM.

What do you expect? Did you really expect nexonNA to TRY and make custom artwork for chaos then get shot down for it? This trailer was one of their bests. Everything blended in perfect. Trailer are meant to show you bits and pieces of what is to come. I think you do not know what a trailer is.

Then if they pull off an over the budget trailer "look at what nexon is doing with their time instead of fixing their game"

Edit: whoops it's tomorrow, carry on.

So...
No Black Mage?

They didn't say, ''which will ultimately prove to be the most formidable challenge in the entire game, forever''.

They didn't say, ''which will ultimately prove to be the most formidable challenge in the entire game, forever''.

They didn't say that because that would be redundant.

Ultimate
[uhl-tuh-mit]
–adjective
1.
last; furthest or farthest; ending a process or series: the ultimate point in a journey; the ultimate style in hats.
2.
maximum; decisive; conclusive: the ultimate authority; the ultimate weapon.
3.
highest; not subsidiary: ultimate goal in life.

Therefore we can read it as:
"which will prove to be the most formidable challenge in the entire game in the end."
WHAT, SON.

I really doubt IGN meant it like that...it's IGN haha They say stuff for hits on their website like most of the other sites like it.

Young grass hopper, when you master the Art of Language you will understand that you are incorrect.

That aside though, "ultimate" is only the final/last/maximum in any given time frame/process. There can always be something else down the line that is the "new ultimate."

And I'm fairly sure such an article by IGN isn't going to be that precise in the wording...they're just using the word to express how much stronger/harder Empress Cygnus is compared to Pink Bean or our other bosses.
