Archer Hero Confirmed? New Pirate and Resistance Chars?

More filler added to the game in place of actual content...

Content areas added to this game since Knights of Cygnus came out three years ago:
Neo City
Mushroom Castle
World revamp (Big Bang)
Edelstein
Chryse
Lionheart Castle
Future Henesys/Ereve

Standalone activities:
Chaos Zakum
Chaos Horntail
PvP
Monster Park
Nihal PQ

Crafting:
Five professions

Not an impressive list. Even less impressive when you consider that the only new things available to do for high level characters are Chaos Zakum/HT, Von Leon, Evil Cygnus, PvP, and training at LHC/FE. Class rebalances are not content updates, they're something Nexon should be doing all the time while introducing new content. There's so much overlap between the utility and playstyle of the existing classes that new classes add absolutely nothing to the game except a tiny bit of lore. Like, instead of introducing a new archer class, maybe you should first look at how Bowmasters and Marksmen are almost IDENTICAL classes.

Completely agree'd.

Thieves have several thousand throwing stars on them.
A small bag can carry items that together would fill a room up.
Pirates can summon a boat out of nowhere.
Etc.
Etc.

How is the idea of 'magic' crossbows that automatically transports arrow to itself more unrealistic than this?

Magic crossbows, sure. I'll take that. But let's face it, both you and I know Maple won't start them off with Soul Arrow. The whole concept is still silly either way. Just because it's in the fantasy/fictional realm doesn't it should permit things like this:

This one in particular has bugged me. Warriors seperate at the third job (second is near identical). Mages, thieves, and pirates seperate and the second job. In terms of actual differences, bowmen stay very similar until the fourth job. The only seperations prior to that are arrow bow/iron arrow, fire/ice element, and arrow drain/dragon pulse. Hell, even the fourth job is barely different. Hurricane and Advance Final Attack against Ultimate Strafe and Piercing.

For players to want to play classes, they want to see what the class is capable of on its own. Otherwise, it's not much to play one class when in fact it's practically the same for the other classes in its category. Then again, I usually stray from ranged classes in general as I find myself playing warriors. The only real exception was a Night Walker which is my "nice change of pace" class to play. One of the reasons I won't bother to touch most of the other classes is because it won't pick up a unique play-style until into the 3rd job under most cases.

Otherwise, I can't help feel a bit giddy inside when I think of a warrior for the Resistance. A 2-handed master utilizing Swords, Axes, and Maces, or a dark-elemental warrior, maybe a dual-wielding berserker, or a blacksmith class that wields massive warhammers with buffs that amplify the party's weapons. Oh, the possibilties!

Great idea! Let's add one handed cbow's for an overpowered class to deflate everything else!

...FFS

looks like KMS thought that Pirates riding on cannons was gonna be an awesome idea. Maybe it should be like riding a half tank cannon like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSp7CipN1pw

That would be hilarious xD

I just want the pirate legend to be bare handed. that would be so boss. the original knuckle master was so good, he could do that much damage with his fist >

skip to two minutes.
what i want for archers

scroll for fingers for speed 60%

dark scroll for hands 30%. What happens then? :3

Hands esploded

Hands esploded

the pirate LEGEND also take on the capacity of regenerate, hence regenerated a new hand

what i'm interested of is the 3001 class ID. to my understanding, 3xxx is resistance, and 0xx is beginner. does this mean that this new warrior resistance is so special that he starts out elsewhere and get completely different beginner skills/tab from the rest?

You have to have your hands repaired with nx to be able to use them again.

What's wrong with that video? If I wasn't in the library I'd be laughing so hard at the absurdity that I'd let it... slide.

We already have Pirates on half-tank cannons. They're called Mechs in Missile Tank mode.



Honestly, watch the new Pirate Legend/Class be everything the Bucc should have been, just to rub it in our faces. >_<

For the Bucc hero, instead of Time Leap they'll get Time Stop. Instead of throwing dragons, they'll throw steam rollers.

Really wish they would revamp Buccs before starting this....

Nexon, treating Buccs fairly by fixing them to be in line with all other classes?



But seriously, they have one more chance to fix Buccs with the Jump update. Otherwise, I will firmly believe they will never be fixed, and remain as broken as the 3.5 Monk/Samurai class.

They hate us man . They just teased us :[. L>Dizzys comic from Bucc reactions T_T

Maplestory isn’t designed for dual wielding, it doesn’t really offer much. A katara is just an easy to obtain attack shield so I hope they do something a bit different with this.
I’m fine with them finishing the Legend classes. They should have done that before making any others. But seriously a new resistance and pirate? I’m sure they are going to be pretty cool and everything but I just feel we have more than enough classes for now, they need to work on their pacing better. No new classes or proper balances for years and now nothing but basically. It’s just a real cheap way to keep the game going. You make a new class but all you do is play the same content over and over. Some more large scale areas to explore would be nice.

Really wish they would revamp Buccs before starting this....

Nah, that will come after. This new pirate will be beyond godly and make all other pirares look like trash. Then everyone will make one. Then they will nerf it to hell and buff all the other pirates to try and attempt to find a balance. Or just go the Dual Blade route and make you pay for its skill books.

Oh and I kind of wanted to have a pirate class that used a cutlass… Oh well.

I hope they do, I'd rather them revamp us first then make another pirate job that makes us looks like trash.

So...about that thief update Nexon? Yeah...

Yup, here we go again.

New Warrior resistance character, and an archer hero. Now we just need them to fit another mage in there somewhere, and they can make the entire jump update completely pointless because we have 3 new horrifically unbalanced classes ruining any progress they made. Brilliant.

You just don't see the brilliance which is nexon! Seriously man, I'mma have to clue you in.

Meso exploit? PSH, no problem, release a new class and make them dump it into new equipment that never existed before as it would be overinflated as hell.

White scrolls 100k each? See above.

Pink scroll exploit? pineapple you because they don't work on the new weapons!

Nexon's way of fixing things.
